We're Not Gonna Settle This Are We?

"Wow look at all the flowers I got," Kitty took a sniff of a bouquet of roses on her nightstand. Then she smelled another bouquet of carnations.

"I thought you said you didn't want any more flowers?" Rogue folded her arms.

"Well…I mean in moderation," Kitty admitted. "Both Lance and Peter are really sweet aren't they?"

"Oh just adorable," Rogue growled and turned on her heels. She walked out of the room and down the hallway.

"Hey Chere," Remy walked up to her. "What's going on?"

"I'll tell you what's going on," Rogue whirled on him. "Nothing! Nada! Zip!"

"O-kay," Remy said hesitantly.

"But Jean…" Scott pleaded as he and Jean were walking from the opposite direction.

"But nothing Scott!" Jean snapped. "You know Lance and Peter may be idiots but at least they know how to treat a girl! Which is more than I can say for you!"

"Amen to that," Rogue snapped.

"What does that mean?" Remy asked.

"It means that a gal don't like being taken for granted," Rogue snapped.

"Hey Kitty!" Tabitha yelled from down the hall. "You got more presents in the kitchen! Get your butt down there and get them already!"

"What? She got even more stuff?" Rogue asked her.

"Yeah," Tabitha walked up to them. "What is this? 'Everybody Loves Kitty Week'?"

"Now what did she get?" Jean asked annoyed.

"Lance dropped off some chocolates," Tabitha told them. "So of course Peter decides to make her some cookies and get this, he put them in this nice bag and attached a card and a poem to her!"

"Oh for crying out loud is that what this is all about?" Remy groaned. "Girls you jealous cause Kitty's getting all this stuff?"

"That's ridiculous," Scott asked.

"Oh really?" Jean raised an eyebrow. "Scott refresh my memory, what day is it?"

"Um I dunno, the 12th?" Scott scratched his head.

"Uh huh," Jean folded her arms.

"What's so important about today?" Scott asked. "I know it's not your birthday or something."

"Well obviously it isn't as important to you as it is to me," Jean snapped.

"Hey look, not all of us can read minds!" Scott defended. "What did I forget?"

"Scott we've been going out for six months," She told him. "As of today."

"You forgot your anniversary?" Remy whistled. "Boy you in trouble."

"Oh really?" Rogue asked. "And just how long have we been going out?"

"Uh…" Remy blinked. "It's kind of hard to tell, I mean…."

"NEVER MIND!" Rogue stormed away.

"Face it Rogue, not all guys are as romantic as Peter or Lance," Tabitha said following her.

"You got that right!" Jean went with them.

Remy let out a low whistle. "Man Remy never see those girls get this upset at us!"

"Yeah," Scott growled. "Okay, this time things have gotten way out of hand!"

************************************************************************

A few hours later Lance had materialized back at the mansion. He and Peter were squaring off in the kitchen. "HOW DARE YOU CRUSH MY COOKIES?" Peter growled.

"ME? YOU THREW MY CHOCOLATES IN THE TRASH!" Lance shouted.

"I WAS JUST PUTTING YOUR GIFT WHERE IT BELONGS!" Peter snarled.

"OKAY THAT'S…" Lance started to get ready to fight when he noticed something behind Peter. "What the…?"

Peter looked behind him. All the boy from the X-men were there glaring at them as well as Todd and Pietro. "We need to talk," Scott said matter of factly.

The next thing Peter and Lance knew they were thrown outside on the backyard lawn. "What's going on?" Peter asked as the boys ganged up on them.

"I'll tell you what's going on," Ray said. "We've all had it with the two of you!"

"Yeah it's bad enough that your little feud has done nothing but brought chaos to the mansion," Kurt told them.

"What's even worse is that you two are making the rest of us look bad!" Todd snapped.

"He's right!" Scott snapped. "Now all our girlfriends are complaining!"

"Oh boys why can't you be more like Lance and Peter?" Sam mocked in a high voice. "All your stupid gifts are making all our girls jealous!"

"Yeah and when they get unhappy we suffer!" Todd snapped. "Even Al's ticked off. And she ain't exactly high maintenance!"

"That's a matter of opinion," Kurt said. "But Toad does have a point! Even Amanda's heard about this by now and is starting to get annoyed with me!"

"When Gambit started giving you advice, he did not figure on you stealing the spotlight!" Remy snapped at Peter. "Or sending Remy to the doghouse!"

"Lance you are seriously cramping my style!" Pietro snapped.

"BUT IT'S HIS FAULT!" Both Lance and Peter pointed at each other and shouted.

"My fault?" Lance shouted at Peter.

"We'll it's not mine!" Peter snapped.

"No way!"

"Yes way!"

"What is going on here?" Kitty ran out.

"Kitty you have got to choose between these two morons once and for all!" Scott ordered her. "I don't care how you do it! Just do it! That's an order!"

"Way to go Scott," Jean walked out with all the X-Girls. "There's an intelligent solution!"

"Well we have to do something!" Bobby yelled.

"This is Kitty's decision ya yahoo!" Rogue snapped. Soon all the girls were arguing with most of the boys.

"Kitty there's an easy way to solve this problem," Lance pointed at Peter. "Dump him!"

"ME?" Peter snarled. "It's you she should dump!"

"Are you out of your mind?" Lance snapped. "You're the one who should go!"

"Make me!" Peter roared.

"I should dump the both of you!" Kitty yelled. She gave off a scream of frustration and stomped into the house.

"Kitty…" Lance whined.

"Don't go…" Peter whimpered.

Then the two boys glared at each other. "THIS IS YOUR FAULT!" Both Lance and Peter yelled at each other. Soon they were starting to punch each other around again.

Kurt and Todd, the only two not fighting anyone watched the scene unfold. "I don't believe this," Todd groaned. "Now what do we do?"

"I say we kill them," Kurt said evenly. "Slowly and painfully."

"We don't have to," Todd remarked as Lance and Peter rolled around on the ground. "They'll do it themselves sooner or later."

Meanwhile all the adults of both the X-Men and the Misfits watched from the balcony above the insane happenings of their students. "And so the eternal love triangle continues," Hank sighed. "Much to the dismay of everyone around them."

"I don't know what went wrong," Xavier moaned. "Creating the X-Men was such a good idea at the time. What went wrong?"

"You want the short list or the long?" Logan groaned.

"Now what do we do?" Cover Girl asked.

"How about we hit the bars and leave the kids behind for the night?" Low Light suggested as something exploded.

"Works for me," Ororo agreed.
