Chapter 2
"I don't see why I had to tag along" Lexi grumbled. She flipped her blonde hair behind her shoulder. It now contained blue and black highlights in it was straightened out so it reached her lower back.
"Because" Kitty drawled "It's a girls day out"
"Yeah. And she was dragging me along so there was no way I was comin alone"
"Why didn't you guys have Jean or Storm come with you" she demanded
"Uh, they were busy" Kitty lied. Truthfully she had no idea what Jean or Storm were doing. She just needed an excuse to provide Lexi with. Kitty pulled out her cell phone and checked the time. It was 12:30, which meant it was almost time for Kitty and Rogue to put their plan in action. I hope this works, Kitty thought to herself.
They entered the ice cream parlor and looked around.
"Oh crap" Lexi groaned.
"What's wrong" Kitty asked faking surprise. Lexi pointed over to Gambit, colossus, and Pietro who were standing in line.
"Oh man1 You can't be serious" Rogue groaned rather loudly. Gambit heard this and saw the three. He waved them over and Kitty walked forward. "Kitty! What the hell are you doin"
"I don't know about you, but I want my ice cream" she said "Now come on you two"
"Come on" Rogue sighed as she dragged Lexi over towards the line.
"Oh no. Oh no no no1 There's no way in hell I'm be in in the same place as them. I outta here" Pietro said but Gambit grabbed his arm.
"Oh no you don't, mon ami! Gambit came here for ice cream and ain't leave till he gets it" he said "You can hold up for a few minutes. Or are you just a big baby"
"I am not a big baby" Pietro huffed
"Good, then you can handle this" Gambit smirked "Wassup femmes"
"Make a wrong move and I'll put you in the hospital" Rogue threatened
"Come on guys! I want ice cream" Kitty complained
"She's right! We came for ice cream and we shall get ice cream" Colossus agreed nodding
"Good, now you five stay here will Gambit make a real quick run to the bank" he said slipping away
"Stay here while I go make sure he don't rob a bank" Rogue said following him leaving Colossus, Kitty, Pietro, and Lexi still in line.
"Oh man I forgot! I need to go get my purse out of the car" Kitty exclaimed slapping her forehead "Piotr, will you come with me"
"Uh… sure" he said "Stay here and don't try to kill each other" They walked away leaving Pietro and Lexi to themselves. Pietro took in exasperated breath and Lexi flipped her hair.
"Uh, you got highlights"
"Yeah. You noticed" she asked
"Uh-huh. Looks nice" he complimented
"Thanks" she said fiddling with a strand. They moved forward in the line and she shifted uncomfortably
"Hey, listen" he said hesitantly "I wasn't joking yesterday. About the whole date thing"
"Uh-huh"
"And well, if you weren't doing anything Saturday, we could go out" he asked awkwardly. Lexi stared at him jaw open. Did Pietro- Pietro Maximoff of the Brotherhood- ask Lexi- Lexi Smith of the X-Men- out on a date? Crap.
"Umm…"
"I'll understand if you say no. You know with the whole you being an X-Man and me being in the Brotherhood and us trying to kill each other-"
"I'd love to" Pietro looked up at her surprise. Truthfully she surprised herself too.
"Really? That's awesome" he said "Um, I'll pick up from the Institute at seven"
"Sure. I'll see you then"
"Definitely"
