A/N: I really like the title 'Snow and Fire Don't Mix' so I'll keep it like that...

leggystwin-chic: Yes John is hot, and really fun to write...It's hazardous to write in Kitty because then I start to say "like" in like every sentence...see : )

Way2Obsessed: I love Pyro and I am way too obsessed with him, but it's all good!

Fudgeontop: John and Rogue are paired together for this fic because I love them together. I don't know how much Ryro I'm going to write in, but like I said before they are a couple for this story.

DemonRogue13: I'm glad you think it's cool so far.

Nerak: There will be a little Ryro...I'm not sure exactly how much since only a few parts of this story are planned, and that part I haven't planned yet, but the story itself doesn't revolve around the couple.

Prettybeka: Yes, John is Rogue's boy friend...I edited my first chapter to make that more clear.

Orli: I'm anxious too : ) I didn't plan everything that will happen but the one thing that I did plan is a BIG deal for John, but basically over all he won't be having a good time...

Thanks for all of the reviews they make me want to update even faster!

------------------------------ The next morning ------------------------------

"Come on John get up! We want to get there sometime today." Bobby shook John who was still in bed.

"I'm up."

"Then why aren't you out of bed?" Bobby questioned.

"I just like it when you touch me."

"Shut up John! Go back to sleep."

"Gladly." John said as he tossed the covers over his head.

"Come on, all you have to do is relax and have fun." Bobby said just before he left the room with his bags.

As John got out of bed, he mumbled "How is freezing your ass off fun?"

Finally John got dressed and headed down stairs with his bags. He met Kitty, Rogue, and Bobby outside in front of the mansion. Scott and Logan were standing with them.

"Are you all packed?" Scott asked.

"No shit...it that what these are for?" John grinned as he lifted one of his bags. (A/N: Yes he was being a smart ass...well, it was a dumb question)

The four teenage mutants walked to Bobby's jeep that was parked outside the mansion's gates. Scott yelled, "John! Don't run into any trees on the slopes. Have fun!...He ended with a smirk knowing that John didn't want to go in the first place.

John grinned and yelled back, "I have two eyes; I'll be fine."

As he jumped in the back of the jeep next to Rogue, John turned around and he put his lighter in his hand between his middle and ring finger. Then he lit the flame and pointed it at Scott. "Go Bobby...Go!" As Bobby hit the gas John waved at Scott meaning 'good bye looser' and turned back around to sit properly...grinning even more now.

"Did he just..."

"Yes Scott, he gave you the fire-birdie." Logan laughed.

"I loathe that brat!" Scott clenched his fist.

"He got you good...he also got the last word."

"Thanks for rubbing it in." Scott sighed.

"My pleasure." Logan patted Scott on the back and left.

Scott just stood there pondering the burn (no pun intended) that he had just received by John.

"Dude, you totally burned Scott!" Bobby gave John a hi-five.

John gave him a hi-five back, "Yea and I didn't even have to use my gift."

Bobby was the first to make a comment, "That's a first"

"There's a first time for like everything," Kitty said cheerfully.

"Well, not your mutant gifts..." Rogue started.

John looked at Rogue confused.

Rogue continued, "I don't know anyone who is a better smart ass than you. You proved that back there...that you have smart ass gifts as well as mutant."

"Is that a good thing?" Kitty asked.

"Probably not...it can get you into a lot of trouble" Bobby mentioned.

"That's the best part!" John smacked Bobby in the head.

"Hey, I'm driving!"

Rogue smiled at John, "Point blank John, you are trouble."

"I wouldn't want to be any other way!" John sat back in the seat and put his hands on the back of his head in a relaxing manner. "I bet Scott is still trying to figure me out...yet again"

Rogue laughed, "I doubt Scott thinks of you 24/7"

"I probably haunt his dreams"

"Shit John, you even haunt my dreams!" Bobby blurted out.

"I do?" John asked surprised. He had no idea.

"Hell yes." Bobby replied.

"Well..." John wanted to know more.

"I don't remember much...wait...why are you smiling?" Bobby asked when he glanced in the rear-view mirror.

John snorted, "Because it's funny."

"No it's no."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"You two are giving me a headache." Kitty yelled.

Bobby continued, "Anyway, I remember a lot of fire..."

John butted in, "No surprise there."

"Forget it John! I'm not telling you!"

"I can make your nightmares come true...right now." John joked as he took the lighter from his pocket lit it and held a fireball in his palm.

Bobby sighed, "Why did I have to open my big mouth?"

"So Bobby, how much further is the ski lodge? Kitty asked.

"About an hour and a half."

John made a fist to put the fire out, "I need a nap. I need some music to help me sleep put the CD player on, Bobby."

So yesterday, so yesterday, I'm just a bird, that's already flown away...

"Since when do you listen to Hilary Duff?" John laughed.

"I don't." Bobby answered.

"Sure you don't." John was still laughing.

"I DON'T!"

"Whatever, just turn this shit off and find a rock station."

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there..

"Much better." John said as he fell asleep.

A/N: Thanks for all of the reviews...I'll start the ski lodge part of the story in the next chapter, and I'll update when I can!
