A/N: Sorry it took so long (ok it wasn't that long) for me to update, but I was running into bumps and I was in a groove for my other story and I didn't want to lose it so you know... I had to do what I had to do. Thanks for the reviews! OK I'm done rambling! On with the story...

Snow and Fire Don't Mix!

Ch. 3

Checking in

As soon as Bobby pulled into a parking spot, Kitty and Rogue got out of the Jeep the normal way since the top was up. They left Bobby there to wake John up while they went to check out the premises.

"Don't leave me here with him!" Bobby yelled as the girls pretended not to hear him. Bobby opened John's side of the door "John get up. I know your up." Bobby paused, "I'm not going to touch you!"

John smirked, "Damn." He opened his eyes slowly and got out of the Jeep to stretch.

"You fell asleep fast."

"Being a smart ass is hard work." John was fixing his hair using the driver's side mirror.

Bobby rolled his eyes.

"Why do you think I sleep in practically all of my classes?" John asked.

Bobby sarcastically laughed, "Because you're bored."

"Well...that too, but hell it's my purpose in life to annoy, bug and remain an elite smart ass. It takes a lot out of me." John truly believed that.

"Not many people I know would want that to be their purpose in life."

"But Bobby, you don't know that many people."

Bobby sighed once again.

John smiled, "And right now...I am annoying you, bugging you and I made a smart ass comment all in one...damn I'm good!"

Bobby quirked an eyebrow, "And you're proud of that?"

"You know it!" John said cheerfully.

"I think I need a nap now." Bobby mumbled to himself.

"Shit it's cold." John remarked as he put his hands in his coat pockets.

"We just got here and you're already complaining." Bobby was slightly irritated.

After what seemed like forever to John, finally Rogue and Kitty came back. It was only approximately 10 minutes, but to John it felt like an hour.

"Oh my god!" Kitty said screeching, "They have everything from horseback riding to spas. I don't think one weekend will be enough..."

"It's plenty!" John quickly replied.

Kitty continued ignoring John. "I may never want to leave."

"If you're going to faint can you at least faint inside...I don't know if you've noticed but it's freezing out here!"

"Looks like somebody slept on the wrong side of the car..." Kitty whispered to Rogue.

"Kitty" John sighed, "I'm standing right in front of you...no need to whisper besides…I probably did."

"Let's check in." Rogue announced.

Bobby popped open the trunk so they could get their bags.

The main lobby was huge. There was a huge fountain in the middle and there was also huge television set. The front desk was...you guessed it...huge too!

John was flicking his lighter as he was walking to the front desk.

The man at the front desk said, "Sir, there is no smoking in here."

"Does it look like I'm smoking? Do you see a cigarette in my hand?"

"John, just put it away" Bobby demanded.

"But the point is I wasn't even...fine...whatever." John pocketed his lighter.

While Bobby, Rogue and Kitty were getting the rooms, John walked over to the fountain still pissed off about the whole 'smoking' thing.

'I don't even know why I'm wasting a quarter doing this but what the hell.' John thought before tossing the quarter in the fountain.

"John, we're on the third floor. So what did u wish for?" Rogue asked.

"Basically to have fun on this lame trip...I mean Bobby only picked it because he knew I would hate it."

"That's not true...who am I kidding? Yea you're right."

"Anyway, you got me my own room right? John asked.

"No, they only had double." Rogue replied.

"That means I'm rooming with Bobby?"

"Yea, but what's the big deal? It's not any different than the institute."

John sighed, "I just wanted my own room for a change...that's all."

"You could always kick Bobby out."

John liked the idea, "I think I will."

Rogue grinned, "Oh, I know you will."
