Aprilangel413: Here's the next chapter, you'll just have to read to find out what happens.

Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men Evolution

X-23 stood outside the Motel 6 and held the bikes up as Lilly went into the office to pay the night's fee. They were both wearing pedestrian clothes. X-23 had on a dark green tank top and black pants, while Lilly wore a tight purple t-shirt and jeans. When Lilly emerged from the glass doors, she slid a credit card in to her wallet and put her wallet in her pocket. X-23 looked at Lilly as she got on the bike and put on her helmet.

"What?" Lilly said as kicked up the kickstand.

"The credit card. Where'd you get it?"

"It's mine, an don't worry. Its got a thousand dollar limit, which is just enough ta get ta Bayville."

"Ok I was just wondering." X-23 said as she jammed on her helmet.

They revved the engines and drove on to the rode. They didn't talk to each other until X-23 ran low on gas. They pulled into a Hess station and hooked the bikes up to the tanks. Lilly pulled off her helmet and leaned against her bike.

"Why did you almost blow that guy up?" X-23 asked as she pulled off her helmet.

"Cause he recognized me." Lilly answered looking at the ground.

"Do you have a reputation or something?" X-23 asked pretending to look at the beat up convertible in the shop.

"No but Big Daddy does. He owns a stringO nightclubs in da heart O New Orleans. Not all O dem are exactly clean."

Lilly was still looking at the ground and started fiddling with the straps on her helmet.

"So what did he want from you?" X-23 asked now looking directly at Lilly.

"I used waitress at one O de least clean clubs he had."

"Oh." X-23 said as she realized what Lilly meant.

Now the tanks were full and Lilly paid with the credit card. And they were off again.

Fifteen days and fourteen nights later X-23 and Lilly stood outside of the Xavier school for gifted youngsters. They were both in their uniforms and were standing opposite each other. X-23 pulled off her helmet and held it up to Lilly for her to take. But

Lilly put up her hand and shook her head.

"Na, na, na. Ya keep it, an de bike ta." Lilly said as she took off her helmet too.

"Thanks." X-23 said resting the helmet on the bike.

When she looked back at Lilly the other girl was staring at the stars.

"Ya know it's hard ta believe how lil time we've actually spent tagether. Bout twenty days if my math is right. But it feels like we've known each other forever." Lilly said still stargazing.

"I know what you mean. I hate to admit it but I'm going to miss you."

"I'll miss you ta X." Lilly said as tears began to run down her face.

Lilly leaned over X-23's bike and hugged her good bye. Eventually X-23 put her arms around Lilly too. They stayed like that for a couple minutes and when they finally released each other they tried to calm themselves and hold back the rest of their tears. Lilly turned to get on her bike and then looked back at her friend.

"I guess I'll see you on de battle field." Lilly said as she put her helmet back on and climbed on to the bike.

"I guess so." X-23 mumbled as she popped her claws and prepared to slice the gates.

She waited until Lilly had ridden out of sight before making another move. And when the sounds of the motorbike became only a whisper to X-23 she placed her helmet back on and walked the bike closer to the gates. She reached her right arm back and thrust it forward producing a huge hole in the metal gates. X-23 hopped on to the bike and raced into the estate.

When she reached the front steps there was Logan standing there with his claws extended ready to attack anything that moved. He lowered his arms when he realized that it was X-23 and retracted his claws when she took off her helmet. She rested it on the bike as she climbed off it.

"What are you doin here kid?" Logan asked with a bit of worry in his voice.

X-23 said nothing but just walked up to him.

"I want to join the X-Men." She said looking him straight in the eye.

Lilly pulled up to the brick building and parked her bike. She took off her helmet and rested it on the bike. She pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket and looked at it. She had written down the address of the Acolyte base so she wouldn't forget it.

"Dis is da place." She said folding the paper up and putting it back in her pocket.

She climbed off the bike and was about to go up to the door when she heard a motorcycle. Lilly turned just in time to see it come around the corner. It was a black Harley with red writing on it. The guy riding the motorcycle was tall and wearing a long trench coat. He had had short brown hair and wore black sunglasses completely covering his eyes. Lilly ran into the shadow of the base so she would not be seen.The man pulled up to base and parked his bike in front of Lilly's. He climbed offit and walked over to Lilly's.

"Guess John got his license back." He side looking over the bike.

He walked up to the door and reached in to his pocket and pulled out a key. Lilly emerged from the shadows and walked up behind the man. He turned around before she was able to get a word out.

"I'm lookin for a Remy Lebeau." Lilly said trying to look past his sunglasses.

"Den you found him." The man said looking down at the girl.

"You look familiar." Remy said trying to match her face with a name. Which was hard to do with sunglasses covering her eyes.

"I should, I'm de Queen O Diamonds. An I'm looking for de King O Hearts." Lilly said and took off her sunglasses to show her black on red eyes.

Remy stared at her in awe for a moment before he could remember how to speak.

"Lilly is it really you?" Remy asked.

"De one an only." Lilly said.

Remy ran over to her and hugged her. He picked her up and started to spin her around. When he finally placed her back on the ground there were tears in both their eyes.

Aprilangel413: I know, I Know I said that the Romy would start in this chapter but I really think that I should designate an entire chapter to it. Review please.
