The Pub and the Plan
~*~
I am what I am
I'll do what I want
But I can't hide
I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me

At the pub
The girls walked in weighed down with their bags. "I just know I'm gonna be bankrupt," Pete said as he spotted them.
"Ditto," Brian said. The two shared a moment of mourning their good credit rates. The girls made their ways over sitting with their respective others, except Betsy who sat by herself (awwe...).
"Tell me, luv, did you guys leave anything in the stores?" Pete asked as Kitty sat next to him.
She just smiled and kissed him gently before leaning in and whispering: "Wait until you see what I bought." She sat back. He looked at her definitely intrigued. She smiled back taking a sip of his scotch. He grinned seeing her wrinkle up her nose at the taste. "How you drink that stuff I'll never know, Wisdom."
"Have fun, chére?" Remy asked giving her a soft kiss.
"Shoppin' with Kitty? Always fun," Rogue said dryly causing her friend to stick her tongue out at her. "What about you? Get everythin' taken care of?"
"Oui," Remy smiled. "Yer stuck with Remy now, ma chérie."
"Good, `cause if ya thought you were gonna get away from meh now..."
"Never," Remy promised leaning in for another kiss.
"Hi, Doug," Rahne said. She blushed when he leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. "How'd it go?"
"Well, I can safely say I've seen all of London," he said. "I just don't see why we couldn't take a cab." She laughed moving her chair slightly closer so she could comfortably take his hand. The two smiled at each other.
"Awwe!" the others exclaimed... except Pete who stared at everyone and wondered if it'd be too late to pretend that he didn't know them. Brian rolled his eyes lightly and called the waiter over.
"Okay, fuzzy, I'm dying of curiosity here," Amanda said. "Why don't you have your inducer on?"
"It vas so cool!" Kurt exclaimed happily. "I tripped and it broke."
"And that's cool?" Rogue inquired flatly tuning in on the conversation.
"No, the cool part is vhat happened afterwards," Kurt said.
"What happened?" Amanda asked.
"Nothing!" Kurt exclaimed. The others stared at him.
"Right," Pete said. "That makes perfect sense."
"I meant that they didn't freak out," Kurt explained. "I got a few odd stares but no one screamed or acted like I vas a demon." He smiled brightly. "You don't know how nice that vas."
Amanda smiled back at him and kissed him, happy for her boyfriend. "That's great, fuzzy."
"Thanks t' the almighty Captain Britain `ere, the public is fine with seein' all sorts o' strange things," Pete said. Kitty elbowed him hard. "Ow! Damn it, I'm gonna have a bruise there!"
"Good," Kitty said crossing her arms. Pete winced realizing his mistake and the fact that if he didn't backtrack really quickly that he'd be sleeping on the couch for a week.
"Um... not that you're strange or anythin'," he said quickly. "Just that the people might think... not that they should-"
"Relax, Herr Wisdom," Kurt laughed. "I know I look... odd."
"Right," Pete said relieved. He looked at Kitty who was giggling after watching him floundering and rambling. "I'm glad one of us is amused."
Still laughing she kissed him softly. "Sorry, you just, like, look so cute when you're all flustered like that." Pete shook his head leaning in and initiating a much longer kiss. When they broke apart Kitty's eyes were dazed and there was a slight flush on her face.
"Love you," he whispered in her ear. Kitty smiled at him and squeezed his hand.
"Gag meh," Rogue said causing Kitty to stick her tongue out at her again. "You dazzle meh with your maturity," Rogue said dryly.
"I try," Kitty smiled taking another sip of Pete's scotch. "Ugh." He chuckled wrapping an arm around her shoulders. Their food and drinks arrived soon and the group ate and talked amiably.
"Let's get going," Brian said after they finished. Pete had to carry Kitty's bags and half-support her due to the drinks she had taken of his scotch.
"Great, get de chat drunk," Remy said as they got onto the plane.
"Hey," Pete protested. "She took me liquor." He helped Kitty onto the plane. She cuddled up on his lap as Brian took off.
"I love him," she told Rogue who was sitting with Remy watching the other two amused. "He's a wonderful guy and he's all warm too. All of him."
"Kitty, luv, please shut up," Pete pleaded seeing how this could get really embarrassing.
"I was just-" to cut her off he kissed her.
"Those two never stop!" Brian exclaimed.
"I think it's sweet," Meggan smiled. Brian looked at her and shook his head.
"If you say so, Meggan." Meggan moved up to the co-pilot seat. Betsy stared outside feeling incredibly lonely. Here were all of these couples and she was the odd woman out. She took out the feather staring down at it thoughtfully.
Two days later
Kitty and Rogue walked into the living room seeing Betsy sitting on the couch staring intently at a feather. "Should we, like, leave you two alone?" Kitty smiled.
"Morning," Betsy said.
"So, what's up?" Kitty asked as she and Rogue flopped down on either side of her.
"Just thinking."
"`Bout the guy?" Rogue asked.
"Huh? What guy?"
Rogue smiled. "The guy you've been moonin' over for the past few days."
"Which leads me to a question," Kitty said. "Why were we not told about him?" Betsy rolled her eyes and told them about how she had met the man.
"Wait," Rogue said. "Tall, handsome, blond hair and blue eyes, and when he left you found a feather in his place?"
"Yes," Betsy said.
"And he was an American in the UK?"
"Uh-huh."
Rogue turned to Kitty. "Warren."
"Totally," Kitty agreed.
"Warren?" Betsy asked. "You mean you know him?"
"Yeah," Rogue said. "Ah met him in New York. He's a mutant too."
"Really?" Betsy asked excitedly. "He is?"
"Yeah, want meh ta get in contact with him?"
"I don't know..."
"Do it," Kitty told Rogue. "It'll be payback for you meddling in my love life." Betsy looked at her confused. "Russia," the Valley Girl said with a smile. "I know you guys had something to do with me being asked to go along with Pete."
"Hey, the sexual tension was just way too thick," the other girl smiled. "And it worked."
"It did," Kitty smiled thinking about her new lover who was still upstairs asleep.
"Ah'll call him," Rogue said. "Let him know that Moira needs some help."
"What kind?" Kitty asked.
"He's a pilot," Rogue shrugged. "Ah'll tell him that she needs some files from Mr. McCoy."
"What are ye three up tae?" Moira asked coming in.
"We have a question," Rogue said.
"Yes?" Moira asked.
"Is there anything that you need from Hank?"
Moira looked between the three suspiciously. "Actually yes, he's going tae send a couple things over that he thought I should take a look at."
"That's perfect," Rogue smiled. "I'll be right back."
