Demetria and Octavian
Demetria and Octavian pinned the guidelines of the game to the notice board after breakfast.

Courtly love is -
Aristocratcic. As its name implies, courtly love was practiced by
noble lords and ladies; its proper milieu was the royal palace or
court.
Ritualistic. Couples engaged in a courtly relationship
conventionally exchanged gifts and tokens of their affair. The lady
was wooed according to elaborate conventions of etiquette
(cf. "courtship" and "courtesy") and was the constant recipient of
songs, poems, bouquets, sweet favors, and ceremonial gestures. For
all these gentle and painstaking attentions on the part of her
lover, she need only return a short hint of approval, a mere shadow
of affection. After all, she was the exalted domina--the
commanding "mistress" of the affair; he was but her servus--a lowly
but faithful servant.
Secret. Courtly lovers were pledged to strict secrecy. The
foundation for their affair--indeed the source of its special aura
and electricity--was that the rest of the world (except for a few
confidantes or go-betweens) was excluded. In effect, the lovers
composed a universe unto themselves--a special world with its own
places (e.g., the secret rendezvous), rules, codes, and
commandments.
Adulterous. "Fine love"--almost by definition--was extramarital.
Indeed one of its principle attractions was that it offered an
escape from the dull routines and boring confinements of noble
marriage (which was typically little more than a political or
economic alliance for the purpose of producing royal offspring). The
troubadours themselves scoffed at marriage, regarding it as a
glorified religious swindle. In its place they exalted their own
ideal of a disciplined and decorous carnal relationship whose
ultimate objective was not crude physical satisfaction, but a
sublime and sensual intimacy.
Please do have fun. And remember, ladies do torment your knights. And knights? Remember your places.
BObby and Rebekah
Rebekah and Bobby read over the rules and looked at each other.
"What is 'appening?" she asked.
Bobby shrugged. "I agreed to this last night."
"Well done..."
Octavian and Demetria
Octavian whistled softly as he left a rose on Rebekah's bed, with a love poem attached.
Demetria looked up as he entered her room, smiling slightly.
"So?"
"I left the rose."
"You know, we are completely bonkers."
"Oh yes."
Bobby
Bobby slipped an envelope under Demetria's door, with a love poem enclosed. He grinned and went into the caf to get some food.
Demetria, Octavian and Jono
Demetria got up and picked up the love poem. She read it and giggled slightly.
"And your secret admirer is?" Octavian asked.
"I don't know. Isn't that fun?"
Jonothon rubbed his hand over his face, then left the lyrics of a song in the edge of Rogue's door.
It doesn't seem to matter
To you
What the world says.
It doesn't seem to matter
To me
Who else you might be.
It doesn't seem to matter
At all
At all, at all, at all
Doesn't seem to matter to me
Doesn't seem to matter to you
And that's the way it should be
Love, love, ohohoh, love
What a small word that is
Love, love, ahahah, love
Doesn't seem to say what I mean
At all, at all.
Bobby
Bobby taped another envelope to the fridge, addressed to Demetria, with song lyrics enclosed.
My head's full of thought
Thoughts of you
And I'm distracted so easy
Thinking what to do
So unsure, so unfamiliar
Am I wrong to think that something could happen
Will you fall for me
I need to know, the way I'd like you to
Baby, will you fall for me
The way I've fallen for you
Im not like myself
And I'm playing the role of someone else
And my hearts beating so fast
I can't stop it
And Im so unsure
So unfamiliar
Am I wrong to think that something could happen
Will you fall for me
The way I'd like you to
Will you fall for me
The way I've fallen for you
The way I've fallen for you
The way I've fallen for you
Fallen for, fallen for you
For you...
So unsure, so unfamiliar
Am I wrong to think,
That something could happen
Was I wrong to think I
Will you fall for me
The way I'd like you to
Will you fall for me
The way I've fallen for you
The way I've fallen for you
The way I've fallen for you...
OOC: "Will You Fall For Me" - Delta Goodrem
The Mavericks
Demetria and Octavian started towards the caf, chatting to each
other.
He halted her outside Mordred and Gwen's room, and slipped an
envelope under the door.
She raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Just to mess with the Wolf a little..." Octvian murmured to her as
they walked away again.
Vortigern, smiling slightly, left a card for Mary on her bed. She'd
get to boast about it all day to her friends, and it would make her
happy. So it made him happy.
He met up with Demetria and Octavian as they entered the caf.
"Morning," he said amiably.
The hobbits were already seated and eating breakfast.
"Morning," Octavian said.
Demetria went over to the fridge and picked the envelope off it.
She opened it, and her mouth twisted into a wry grin.
"That's the second one so far," Octavian told Vortigern.
"I do hope Remy comes today..." she murmured, laughing slightly.
"Good morning, Legolas, Aragorn," Vortigern said.
Bobby, Gwen and Rebekah
Gwen came back from her shower, dressed in a short white skirt and a
red halter top. She opened the door and bent down to retrieve the
envelope. She opened it and laughed slightly as she read the poem.
She tossed it onto the desk and fixed Bryant and Eavan up, then went
to get breakfast.
Rebekah went into her room and found the rose and the poem and
smiled slightly. "Oh dear." She flicked her hair up in a loose bun
and went to the caf.
Bobby thought for a second, then slipped an envelope under Julie's
door, with a love poem inside, then headed to the caf to meet
everyone for breakfast.
Mordred and Demetria
Mordred found the envelope and read the poem. Game, game, just a
game, he chanted to himself, then went to get some breakfast.
"Morning, Bobby, Rebekah, Gwen," Demetria said sweetly.
"And how are you all enjoying the game so far?"
Gwen and Bobby
"It's fun-tastic," Gwen said absently, settling down with Rebekah to
eat her breakfast, while playing with the kids.
"It's cool," Bobby answered.
Mordred, Demetrai and Sergei
Mordred sat down at the table with his usual mug of straight black
coffee.
"What exactly is it, Dem?"
"There's some guidelines on the noticeboard," Demetria said.
"More or less, all us guys have to slog our guts out in order to get
them to notice us," Sergei said dryly as he sat down at the table.
"Faint heart never won fair lady," Demetria said semi-scoldingly.
"That would assume that I *have* a lady."
Gwen and Rebekah
Gwen wrinkled her nose at Rebekah's toast. She turned to
Legolas. "You know, eight months with you elves and I've been put
off bread forever."
Rebekah cracked her knuckles. "Ok, after this, I might sit by the
pool, seeing as there are no classes."
Displaced and Mordred
Sergei and Octavian shared a look, then sang a verse of Jonothon's
take off, 'Sounds of Mutant High'.
"Out on the poolside we'd sit,
"And I am so glad I wasn't involved in that," Mordred said dryly.
"Btu it was fun, tovarisch!" Sergei grinned.
Gwen, Rebekah and Bobby
"Rethinking the pool idea, Bek?" Gwen asked.
"Oui, I am now," Rebekah replied, looking nervous.
Bobby grinned and went to slip a letter under Rebekah's door.
Octavian and Sergei
"You should say sorry, Sergei. And do it gracefully," Octavian said
in a teasing tone.
Sergei smiled slightly.
"Only if you do it too, tovarisch."
"Fine." Octavian turned to face Rebekah. "Dame douce, pouvez-vous
probablement pardonner votre domestique plus humble?" (Sweet lady,
can you possibly forgive your most humble servant?)
"Oh, just go right into the French so barely anyone except her
understands you," Sergei sighed.
"Mais vraiment!" (But yes!)
Rebekah and Bobby
"Je vous pardonne," Rebekah replied. (I forgive you.)
Bobby chuckled to himself as he slipped a letter under Gwen's door.
He came back to the caf, looking innocent.
Gwen finished her breakfast and played with Eavan and Bryant for a
few moments.
Octavian, Demetria and Sergei
"Go on, Sergei." Octavian's eyes gleamed.
The Russian sighed, then looked at Rebekah.
"My behaviour was reprehensible. I humbly beg for your forgiveness,
Lady Rebekah."
"See, isn't this fun?" Demetria whispered in Rebekah's ear.
Rebekah, Demetria and Gwen
Rebekah smiled, her eyes twinkling.
"You are forgiven."
She looked at Demetria. "Oui, this is much fun."
Gwen shook her head. "Insane, everyone. Anyway, I'm going to hang by
the pool, you still up for it, Bek?" She stood up.
"Oui, I will go get changed."
"Cool, meet ya there."
The Mavericks, Faolan and Displaced
Mordred picked up Faolan and went to get his son breakfast.
"When I've woken up, I might join you."
"Mordred, very much not a morning person," Demetria explained to the
Fellowship.
"Neither is Strider," the irrepressible Pippin whispered back.
Aragorn's eyebrows rose slightly.
Octavian stood up.
"Come on, Dem. We have more plans for the day to discuss."
"Of course." The twins left.
"Why do I get the feeling I should be very very frightened?" Sergei
asked the room at large.
Probably because you should. Morning all. Jonothon entered the
room.
"So, seen your lady yet?"
Not yet, no.
Gwen and Rebekah
Gwen and Rebekah got changed and went out to the pool. Gwen wheeled
the stroller under the tree, next to her chair and lay down on a sun
chair, lazily sunbaking.
Rebekah sat next to her, with her guitar.
"Do you never go anywhere without that?" Gwen asked.
"Oui," Rebekah smiled, sitting by the babies and singing to them
softly.
The Mavericks, Displaced and Mary
Jonothon tapped his fingers softly against the table, brown eyes
distant.
"Hello, earth to Jono," Sergei said, waving his hand in front of
Jonothon's eyes. The telepath blinked and focused.
Wot?
"What are you so worried about, hey? Rogue is-"
Rogue is fine.
"Like you say, Rogue is fiiiine." Sergei rolled his eyes slightly.
"I'm more worried about what Tav and Dem are going to," Mordred said
with a sigh as he sat back down and started to feed Faolan.
"Da." Sergei nodded.
"They sound like everyone else does when they're talking about the
two of us, Pip!" Merry said.
"Trust me, Dem and Tav are *worse*." Mordred rolled his eyes.
Mary bounced into the room, looking starry eyed. "Look! Card!"
"Yay." Mordred smiled slightly.
"So ner to all the other girls in my class! They haven't got
*anything*." Mary started to get her breakfast.
Demetria started at Octavian in the privacy of his room. Aragorn
being in the caf.
"You want me to what?"
"Write a poem in Elvish so I can give it to Gwen anonymously."
"You know Mordred is going to start frothing at the mouth?"
Octavian smiled slyly.
"I'm counting on it."
Gwen
"Damn, forgot a towel..." Gwen got up. "Could you..."
"Oui."
"Thanks."
Gwen waved and went back to her room, finding Bobby's envelope. She
opened it and scanned it quickly.
It's amazing
The smile on your face
All day long
You say it best
The smile on your face
The smile on your face
You say it best
She shook her head and tossed it onto her bed, and grabbed the
towel, then headed back out to Bek.
Rogue and Shannon
Shannon slipped outside. She didn't know whether to be happy or hurt that she hadn't gotten anything from the game Octavian and Demetria had started.
"Hi Shannon!" Rogue greeted.
"Hi," Shannon replied with a smile.
"Have you seen Jono?"
"Caf."
"Thanks," and Rogue bounded off.
The Mavericks and Faolan
Mordred walked over to where Gwen and Rebekah were, having gotten
changed into a pair of black boardshorts. Faolan bounced, then leapt
into the pool with a splash.
"COLD!" He loudly informed anyone in the vicinity, before he started
to paddle around happily.
"I'm taking his word for it."
Mordred sat down next to Gwen, and tickled Eavan on the tummy. She
cooed and kicked her legs.
Demetria put her hands over her mouth to stifle her giggles as
Octavian tied the Elvish poem to one of Legolas's arrows with a red
ribbon and strung the bow.
"He is going to be ever so angry."
"I know. Can't you see him trying to be polite and twitching?"
Octavian said gleefully. He aimed and let fly.
The arrow thudded into the ground near Gwen's feet, and Demetria
teleported them both away.
Gwen and Rebekah
"You know, you'd think people would be more careful about aiming
things," Gwen said. She picked up the arrow and discovered the poem.
She untied it and read it quickly. Ok, there was no way that was
from Legolas. But it was doubtful that Mordred was going to believe
that. She stood up and decided to go talk to him about it, stopping
to kiss Mordred's head.
Rebekah looked puzzled at Gwen's change of emotion.
Rogue, Julie and Shannon
"Jono," Rogue grinned, finally finding her boyfriend in the cafeteria. "Hey."
She sat down next to him.
Meanwhile, Julie had spotted the enevlope that had been slipped under the door. After breakfast she had been preoccupied with the twins in her room, and hadn't noticed it. She opened it up and read the poem, a smile playing on her lips. How sweet.
Shannon watched everyone at the pool and decided to go swimming herself. She hadn't gone before because parents felt it was inappropriate for her to go around wearing a swimming costume in public with all those 'hormonal teenage boys' when she was bethrothed. Had they known just how horny they were at Mutant High, Shannon doubted she would have been allowed to go. In any case, knowing that the betrothal would be officially over in a few days anyway, she decided to stuff her parents wishes and just go swimming for once. She got up to go to her room to get changed.
Jono, Demetria and Mordred
Hey... Jonothon ran his fingers down Rogue's cheek. And how are
you today?
Demetria walked out to the poolside, in a pale blue trianhle bikini
and skimpy white boardshorts. She was holding something in her hand.
"For you, Rebekah. From an admirer."
She let the simple silver locket necklace in her hand slip around
Rebekah's neck.
The corner of Mordred's eye had developed a nervous tic.
Demetria stifled a giggle, then looked at Shannon. Her eyes went
slightly wide. *Well* then...
Rebekah and Gwen
Rebekah smiled in confusion. "Thank you?"
Gwen went and chatted to Legolas, wondering why he was acting so
strangely when she realised she was standing there in her red sting
bikini. Whoops. Anyway, he hadn't written the poem, so Gwen was
slightly confused.
"Frodo writes poetry. And he can speak some elvish," Legolas said
helpfully.
She persuaded Legolas, Aragorn and the Hobbits to come out and swim,
finding them some swimmers in Bobby's room, and spare ones in the
mansion. They all headed out to the pool together.
Rogue and Shannon
Rogue smiled.
"I'm rather delighted," she replied. "I found the sweetest thing under my door this morning."
She kissed his fingers softly.
Shannon stepped into the pool area and slung her towel over the fence. She noticed a few stares but didn't think anything of it and dived into the pool.
The Mavericks, Faolan and Displaced
Mordred saw Legolas coming and got up, before cleanly diving into
the pool with barely a splash.
Demetria sat on the edge and dangled her feet in, that about as far
as her phobia would let her.
Merry and Pippin jumped in with huge splashes.
Faolan spluttered and shook his head, before shifting into wolf form
and paddling harder.
"Borzhemoi," Sergei murmured as he looked at Shannon. He turned to
Octavian. "Did you know she was a girl?"
"Nah, mate." He shook his head slowly. "Must be her talent, making
us see her like a guy. You know?"
"Da..." Sergei grinned.
That's good. Jonothon smiled slightly in his fashion.
Rebekah and Gwen
Rebekah stood up and set her guitar away from the pool, under the
tree next to the stroller and went to sit by Demetria at the pool's
edge.
Gwen did a double take at Shannon, then shrugged it off and slowly
inched her way into the pool, chatting to Merry and Pippin as they
bounced carefully around the edge.
"Is it cold?" Merry asked.
"And deep?" Pippin added.
"Um, not really. Stay up this end and you guys should be fine," Gwen
replied.
Rogue
Rogue smiled back.
"Ah thought so too," she replied.
Shannon shook her head and grinned at Merry and Pip. With a twinkle in her eye, she splashed water in their direction.
The Mavericks and Displaced
The Hobbits yelped in shock, then Merry looked at Pippin.
"That wasn't very nice."
"No it wasn't," Pippin agreed.
"For the Shire!" They set to splashing Shannon with a vengeance. The
other members of the Fellowship chuckled slightly.
Octavian ran to the pool edge, bent his knees and leapt into the air
before coming down in a perfect swallow dive. He came up and shook
his head, water spraying from his shoulder length hair.
"Show off," Mordred accused him as he held Faolan.
"Always!" Octavian agreed cheerfully. He swam free style over to
Rebekah and Demetria. "So, how is everyone?"
"Fine, Tavvie."
Sergei slipped into the water, long hair plaited rather then in his
usual ponytail.
Jonothon smiled. So, you want to see what everyone else is up to?
Gwen and Rebekah
Gwen giggled and swam over to Mordred. Legolas sat next to Rebekah.
Gwen smirked and kissed Mordred's cheek as Bobby came out and hopped
into the pool.
"Very good, and yourself, Octavian?" Rebekah asked.
Rogue and Shannon
Shannon giggled and grinned broadly as she splashed the hobbits back.
"Sounds good to me," Rogue replied, standing up with him.
Mordred, Octavian and Sergei
"Me, I'm fine, fine," Octavian said, smiling slightly as he moved
his hands to keep afloat.
Mordred kissed Gwen deeply, one hand holding her hips to make sure
that they stayed together.
Pippin spluttered as a splash from Shannon caught him full across
the face.
Sergei swam slowly over to Shannon.
"So, how are you finding Dem and Tav's little game?"
Mordred looked at Legolas and decided he looked altogether too dry.
So he teleported out, touched the elf on the shoulder and then
teleported them both into the air above the pool.
He 'ported himself back into the water and next to Gwen as Legolas
hit the water with a splash.
Gwen and Rebekah
Legolas surfaced, and Gwen laughed. "You alright?"
"Of course," he replied calmly.
Rebekah slid into the pool, and went underwater, coming up and
smiling sweetly.
Rogue and Shannon
"It's cute," Shannon smiled.
Rogue stepped into the pool area, her hand in Jono's and stared.
"My gosh... Shannon's a girl?"
MOrdred, Octavian and Sergei
Mordred flipped his fringe out of his eyes and put his hands on
Gwen's hips, leaning his chin on her shoulder.
"See, the elf's fine. Can't even ruffle that composure."
Legolas lifted an eyebrow slightly, then stroked to the edge of the
pool.
Octavian tapped Rebekah on the shoulder.
"Tag. You're it."
Then he disappeared under the water. Sergei yelped as Octavian
suddenly pulled him down. His hands beat at the top of the water for
a few moments then he surfaced, coughing.
He glared at Octavian as the British teen surfaced, smiling cockily.
"You are so going to pay for that, tovarisch."
Gwen, Bobby and Rebekah
Gwen kissed Mordred softly, putting her arms around his neck.
Rebekah raised her eyebrow. "I'm it?" She shrugged, then started to
swim around, going over to Legolas, who had joined the hobbits.
Bobby watched Gwen out of the corner of his eye.
Shannon
Shannon grinned, and splashed both Sergei and Octavian, then swam off to get away from Rebekah.
Sergei, Octavian and Mordred
Sergei wiped his face clean, glared at Octavian, then pounced.
Octavian held his breath as he went under the water. He flipped
Sergei backwards and the Russian hit the water near the Hobbits and
Legolas, sending up a spray of water.
Pippin spluttered and Legolas let the water drip down his face with
a small sigh.
Sergei surfaced again, and Octavian grinned, before ducking under
the water and agily moving away.
"He is a dead man," Sergei said, then he looked at the people he'd
splashed.
"Blame Tav. It's his fault."
Mordred nipped gently at Gwen's bottom lip as he wrapped his arms
around her waist.
Bobby and Gwen
Legolas hopped out of the pool and next to Aragorn on a pool chair.
Bobby ducked underwater, swam over to Gwen's feet and froze the
water under her foot, making her squeal. She jumped and looked down,
spotting Bobby. He swam away quickly and she pressed another kiss to
Mordred's lips, then swam after him.
Rogue
Rogue shook her head as she watched them in the pool. She was feeling a little embarrassed about thinking Shannon was a boy - and gay!
"Want to sit down?" she asked Jono.
The Mavericks, Displaced and Faolan
Yeah, why not. Jonothon and Rogue sat down near Legolas and
Aragorn.
Mordred laughed slightly and then caught Faolan as the little boy
swam to him. He stroked over to the edge of the pool and handed him
to Demetria.
"I think it's getting a bit rough for him."
"I think you might be right," Demetria murmured as she watched
Sergei and Octavian try very sincerely to drown each other.
Gwen and Bobby
Gwen caught up to Bobby and held his arm so he couldn't get away.
"Right... you pay now," she said.
"Oh really?" Bobby turned his arm to ice and she yelped and realised
her hand was stuck.
"Owwwie, cold!"
"Oh really?" Bobby grinned and started to get out of the pool,
dragging a very unimpressed Gwen around.
"I hate you."
"No you don't."
Rogue and Shannon
Rogue giggled at the antics going on as she settled in the chair.
Shannon hoisted herself onto the side of the pool and grinned at them.
The Mavericks and Sergei
Mordred raised an eyebrow at Bobby and Gwen.
"Do I have to come up there and save my wife?"
"Do, oh do! He hasn't gone to hospital nearly enough compared to
most of us," Octavian said, looking around, before Sergei ducked him.
Sergei then swam away quickly as Octavian surfaced coughing and
spluttering. He rested his head on his arms and grinned at Shannon,
water rolling down his face.
Merry and Pippin had actually got into the shallow end of the pool
while Sam looked worried and Frodo just dabbled his feet from the
edge.
Demetria leant down and splashed water at her brother.
When he sent a spray of water at her, she wasn't there anymore,
sitting next to Shannon on the other side of Sergei's arms inside.
Bobby and Gwen
Bobby grinned as he pulled Gwen out of the pool and tossed her back
into the deeper end. She managed to move slightly so she could dive
in without hurting herself, then surfaced and glared at Bobby, who
was laughing on the side of the pool.
"Ok, you die now..." Gwen hopped out and chased after him, sending
electric shocks shooting past him.
"Ahhhhh!" Bobby cried, running as fast as he could, jumping over a
sun chair, then leaping over Frodo, who looked up in panic.
Shannon and Julie
Shannon kicked her legs in the water, splashing the boys as Julie
arrived on the scene.
"So, this is where everyone is," she grinned.
The Mavericks and Sergei
"Yes it is, oh fair Julie!" Octavian said, waving at her. "And do
you have a knight yet? Dem has gotten two messages so far. And I
think Gwen has recieved a few, judging from Mordred's nervous
twitching."
Mordred growled at him.
"I wish that Remy was playing," Demetria remarked, kicking her legs
in the water.
"Ah, but you have so many pining..." Sergei grinned at her.
"He's pining for the fjords!" Mordred remarked.
"Beautiful plumage," Octavian laughed.
"And for the non-British that would be...?" Sergei said, raising an
eyebrow.
"Monty Python, you uncultured barbarian," Octavian sniffed.
Bobby and Gwen
Bobby turned around and froze Gwen's feet to the ground, and she
shrieked at the cold.
"I hate you!" she yelped.
He grinned and ran at her, then tackled her onto the sun chair.
"Ow, you jackass!" Gwen sparked him and he flipped over her head,
landing on the grass near the pool.
Julie and Shannon
"Well, as a matter of fact, I did get a little something," Julie smiled.
She paused, her eyes drifting to Shannon. She looked her up and down, then said:
"Shannon? You get anything?"
Shannon shook her head, then slooshed back under the water to hide her embarrassment.
Sergei, Octavian and Mordred
Sergei decided he'd have to do something about that. It wasn't fair
for other people to get something, and Shannon to get nothing.
Besides, she was kinda cute.
"Need any help, my love?" Mordred called out to Gwen.
"Be glad to."
"By the way, where is Vortigern?" Octavian asked.
Mordred's eyes unfocused briefly.
"Garage. Painting."
"He really needs to get out more..."
Gwen
"Would be nice," Gwen called breathlessly, then cried out as she hit
the ground, Pippin and Merry deciding to join in the fun. "Oof!"
"We got her Merry!" Pippin said triumphantly.
Julie and Rogue
Julie said down on a chair next to Rogue, the twins asleep in their pram.
"I bet you got something really sweet," JUlie grinned.
Rogue smiled and nodded, then squeezed Jono's hand affectionately.
Jono and Mordred
Jonothon blushed slightly and squeezed Rogue's hand back gently.
Mordred got out of the pool and went over to help Gwen. He got
bowled over by a Hobbit, and 'ported in shock. Pippin looked
surprised.
"Ye know, that's really not fair."
"I try not to play fair." Mordred grinned, touched Bobby,
and 'ported them both to be high in the air above the pool. Before
they started to fall, he 'ported himself back to Gwen's side.
Bobby and Gwen
Bobby splashed into the pool, then surfaced. "That wasn't fair."
"Didn't you hear what he told Pippin - AH!" Gwen yelped as Merry
pounced on her again.
Bobby swam over to the edge of the pool and joined Julie. "Hi there,
sexy."
Julie and Shannon
"Hey gorgeous," Julie replied with a wink.
Shannon started swimming laps in the pool.
Octavian, Sergei and Mordred
Mordred saved Gwen from Merry, then had to cope with both Pippin and
Merry as the Hobbits attacked him instead.
"For the Shire!"
"Take that, longshanks!"
Frodo chuckled slightly.
Sergei watched Shannon swimming laps for a moment.
Octavian ducked underneath the elf and swam over to where Julie was.
"So, Julie, how are you this fair morn?"
BObby and Gwen
Bobby grinned and swam over to talk to Rebekah, but watching Gwen
out of the corner of his eye.
Gwen chuckled and pulled Pippin off Mordred. Pippin stood still for
a second, then jumped on her back.
"Hurrah!"
Julie and Shannon
"I'm quite well, thank you," Julie replied. "And yourself?"
Shannon touched the side of the pool and decided to stop. A few too many people.
The Mavericks
"I'm the better for seeing you this morning," Octavian said
flirtatiously, lifting her hand to his lips for a brief kiss.
Mordred managed to get Merry off him for a moment, laughing.
"Gwen! We're not doing so well here!"
Demetria laughed as she watched them.
Gwen
"You're telling - OOF!" Gwen fell to the ground as Pippin tackled
her around her legs. She struggled under the hobbit, then lifted him
and pushed him into the pool.
"Not fair!" Pippin pouted.
Gwen grinned.
The Mavericks
Mordred pushed Merry into the pool. On his way down, he managed to
knock Demetria into the pool.
She went into a panic.
Demetria's face was forced under water, stilling her screams with
a horrible gurgle.
"How long do you think it can go without air?"
"I'd give it two minutes." She tried to move her mouth out of the
water.
Octavian fairly levitated them both out of the water. She clutched
at him, crying and hiccuping.
"Oh god, Dem, I'm sorry," Mordred said in a shocked voice.
Gwen and Bobby
All action around the pool seemed to stop, except for the hobbits,
who were obliviously chatting about lunch to each other.
Gwen was about to head over when she realised Bobby had frozen her
butt to the ground. She glared at him and he feigned innocence.
"Are you ok, Dem?" Gwen asked softly.
Demetria and Octavian
"I'm fine," Demetria insisted, wiping her eyes.
Octavian kissed her forehead softly and held her tight, rocking back
and forth slightly.
"I just...flashback."
She shuddered.
Gwen and Bobby
Gwen looked sympathetic. "I'd get up and hug you, but *someone*,"
she glared at Bobby. "Froze my ass to the spot."
Bobby grinned. "Not me."
The Mavericks
"Do you want to go inside?" Octavian asked Demetria in a low voice.
She nodded, and they both disappeared.
Mordred snarled.
"I really hate scientists. No offence to Dr McCoy."
Gwen
"I agree, scientists are bad," Gwen said, still struggling on the
spot.
"And I swear to God, Bobby, if this ruins my swimmers, you are going
to be in so much trouble," she threatened.
Mordred
Mordred lifted an eyebrow slightly and slid into Bobby's mind.
Let her go. Now. Or I'll make you believe you're a five year old
girl. And I'll let Gwen plait your hair.
Bobby and Gwen
Bobby saluted and let Gwen go.
"Yes sir."
Gwen stood up and sent a spark flying at Bobby.
"Thanks Mordred."
"Come on, that was pretty funny."
"What would be funnier is me, kicking your ass."
"Least mine isn't frozen."
Mordred and Sergei
Mordred flexed his hands slightly.
"Dare I remind you that I've got one of the highest scores in the
Danger Room? I could easily kick your ass, Bobby."
Sergei chuckled slightly.
Gwen and Bobby
"Me thinks I'm gonna stop picking on Gwen," Bobby said.
"Whatever will you do with your free time?" Rebekah teased. "And I'm
surprised Mordred and or Gwen haven't hurt you yet."
Julie and Rogue
"You can pick on me," Julie grinned.
Rogue shook her head in disgust.
"You have issues, Julie."
"I thought we well established this."
Jono and Sergei
Jonothon looked at Julie and rolled his eyes slightly, before running
his hand down Rogue's hair.
One day, you really are going to be in trouble, the two of you.
Sergei looked at the spot Demetria and Octavian had disappeared from
and sighed slightly.
"So, Shannon, what is it like being a real elf, rather then just
looking like one, an evil one at that?" He sculled water gently,
looking at her.
Rogue, Julie and Shannon
"I've been in trouble already," Julie grinned.
"We don't need to know," Rogue replied, smiling a little at the feel of
Jono's hand in her hair.
Shannon blinked at Sergei, a little confused.
"Have always been half elf, know nothing else," she said at last.
"Well, except maybe, half mutant..."
Bobby and Gwen
"That's coz your naughty," Bobby told Julie. "I on the other hand,
have never been in trouble, because I'm like an angel - ouch!" He
rubbed his arm where Gwen had shot a spark at him.
"Pssh, don't lie, you're not an angel, you're a tight asshole," Gwen
said.
"Yes, but I'm not a loose one like you - OW! Quit it!"
Mordred and Sergei
Mordred looked at Gwen lazily.
"Do you want me to hurt him, my love, or are you doing that quite
well yourself?"
"All for women's liberation, Mordred?" Sergei asked dryly.
"Oh yeah." Mordred grinned. "Very forward thinking, me."
Gwen and Bobby
"I'm good, thanks!"
Gwen extended her hand and let a string of electricity flow from her
body and over to Bobby. Bobby held his hand out and froze it, the
coldness burning her hand.
"Owwwww!" Gwen yelped.
Bobby grinned.
Gwen glared at him, then using the ice connected to her hand, she
smacked him in the head with it and smiled triumphantly.
"Ha!"
She went over to sit with Eavan and Bryant.
Mordred
Mordred chuckled.
"Use the weapons at your disposal, that's the way."
He went and sat with her.
"Hand!" Bryant demanded, arms waving.
Gwen
Gwen leaned over and lay against Mordred, her hand lazily tickling
Bryant and letting him drool on her finger.
"Telepathic children, how fun."
Mordred, Sergei and Jono
"But you love them..." Mordred kissed the side of her neck where it
was such a tempting target right near his face.
"Pretty..."
Eavan's hands grasped for Gwen's necklace.
"Should we be worried that Dem and Tav haven't come out yet?" Sergei
said suddenly.
Probably. Jonothon said, shrugging. He traced his hand over
Rogue's back.
Gwen
Gwen let Eavan tug gently on her necklace, the elven star cool
against her skin.
"And I love you," Gwen replied leaning up and kissing Mordred
properly.
Rogue and Julie
Rogue smiled and leaned her head against Jono's sholder.
"Well," said Julie with a grin, "better telepathic children, than stealthy children. One of these days I'm not going to see them and just assume they're blending in again, but they really will be gone!"
Displaced
"Good point," Sergei said.
"My brother had Stealth...my father was always worried about him..."
His mouth tightened and he disappeared under the water.
Jonothon stroked Rogue's hair lightly.
You know, this whole business of second gen mutants having their
powers from when they're born...or even before, is gonna make things
interesting.
Octavian whistled slightly as he left a poem by Shannon's bow and
quiver of arrows.
Gwen
Gwen put Eavan back in the stroller and went over to a sun chair to
lie down.
"I'm hoping that our kids don't have an explosive power or
anything..." she said thoughtfully.
Rogue and Julie
"Very interesting," Rogue agreed.
"Yeah, I've heard tales about alien children," Julie said, with a wry grin. "I personally think it's amazing I'm not completely stressed right now considering all the horror stories. I heard this story about this one-year-old kids who had pyrokinesis and burnt the house down."
Sergei and Octavian
Sergei surfaced again and shook water out of his eyes.
"Powers make the idea of childraising interesting..." Octavian said
as he sat down near Rebekah.
"One more reason never to reproduce. Besides the fact that it would
piss my parents off completely."
Rebekah
Rebekah shrugged.
"You think differently once you have your babies, I suppose."
She used the opportunity to push Octavian into the pool.
Julie and Rogue
"My parents," Julie said cooly, "made us move to Roswell when they found out I was pregnant, and then started keeping track of what I, and the twins were costing them so I could pay them back."
"That was mean," Rogue said, surprised.
"No kidding. But I'm with you, Rebekah, woulnd't give up B'E and Tom for all the world."
Octavian, Jono and Mordred
Octavian glowered at Rebekah, then splashed her with water.
"Onto another topic...I say we go down and smother Dawn in the
medlabs," he said.
Sure, why the hell not. Jonothon shrugged slightly.
"All she brings is trouble. We're still finding glass everywhere,"
Sergei said.
"It ruined one of the professor's oil paintings, a Rembrandt,"
Octavian put in.
"You know, how pissed is she gonna be when she wakes up and finds no
one left her anything?" Mordred said, raising an eyebrow.
Gwen and Rebekah
Gwen snickered. "Well, we can't help it if she sucks ass."
Rebekah kicked some water back at Octavian. "Sorry, but you looked
hot, and needed to cool off," she said, raising an eyebrow. She
turned to Julie. "Yeah, well, I had to give up Filipo and Terence to
get settled here, but they will be coming next year."
Julie and Shannon
Julie nodded.
"That must have been really hard," Julie said, glancing at her twins. "I actually came here because of them... couldn't bring up alien children in an ignorant human environment. Zac offered to let me stay with them, but y'know... touring..."
Julie shrugged. Shannon got out of the pool at the mention of Zac's name. She felt a little weird about that. Not that she regretted it, only that... well... the guy was the father of Julie's twins. And of Rachel's baby. And Jessica's brother. And let's just forget the fact that she was a huge Hanson fan and had the biggest crush on Zac since...
"Shannon, be loud," she thought to herself as she grabbed her towel and left the pool.
Mordred, Octavian and Sergei
"Rebekah, darling girl, I *always* look hot," Octavian said, smiling
slightly.
"Vanity, thy name is Octavian..." Mordred said.
"Of course it is. When you're as handsome as I am, you can't help
but be vain." Octavian winked.
"Eetseeot," Sergei mumbled. (Idiot.)
Rebekah, Gwen and Bobby
Rebekah nodded. "Yes, but I speak to my baby boys as often as I can.
Plus, getting stuck baby sitting for Gwen and Mordred takes my mind
off it." She smiled at Octavian. "Hush."
Gwen grinned. "Ah, lucky you love looking after kids... otherwise
it'd be a very celibate lifestyle for myself and Mordred."
"Well, he could always find someone else to sleep with," Bobby said.
"Shut up, don't give him ideas," Gwen exclaimed, sending a spark at
Bobby.
Shannon, Rogue and Julie
"Yeah..." Rogue said. "Julie would be pretty celebate herself if I didn't baby sit."
Julie grinned.
"And you wouldn't be nearly so rich," she replied.
"True. I can afford to get that new stereo now..."
Shannon walked into her room to get changed. She was drying off her hair when she happened to glance at her bow and arrows.
"What's that?" she murmered, picking up a piece of paper.
A smile crossed her face as she read (and reread) the poem.
Octavian and Mordred
"Children," Octavian said, rolling his eyes.
"Insufferable little brats."
"Sure you're not talking about yourself there?" Mordred teased.
"Of course not. I'm not a brat."
"Could've fooled us..."
"Oh, hush." Octavian chuckled slightly.
Rebekah and Gwen
"You are a brat, Octavian. Charming at times, but still, bratty,"
Rebekah said.
"Wow, that was a mix of a compliment and an insult. How very
clever," Gwen replied, grinning.
"I have learnt well from you."
"Oooohhhhh, that was low. But not without truth."
Rogue and Julie
"Hi guys!" Kitty said cheerfully, entering the pool area with Theresa.
"Hi Kitty," Rogue replied with a smile at her roommate.
Theresa jumped into the pool, purposely making a big splash.
"That got me then," Julie chuckled.
Octavian and Sergei
"I'm so wounded, Rebekah..." Octavian pouted slightly.
"Like your ego won't recover," Sergei scoffed.
"Greetings, ladies," Octavian said, ignoring the comment from Sergei.
Rebekah and Gwen
Rebekah smiled innocently. "Oh well."
"Hey," Gwen said briefly, before attending to Eavan and Bryant.
Shannon and Rogue
Shannon reappeared then.
"Hey Shannon," Rogue said. "No more swimming?"
"Yes, - no," Shannon sighed.
"Almost. You've been doing better."
"G-thanks."
"See?"
Shannon grinned.
Displaced
"Is all a matter of control, nyet?" Sergei said.
"Like you show that much control," Octavian scoffed.
"How about I show you exactly how much control I have been using,
tovarisch?" Sergei asked, raising an eyebrow slightly as his eyes
started to glow.
"Fine, I believe you. No need to fry the pool with a nuclear
explosion."
Jonothon chuckled slightly.
Bobby and Gwen
"Octavian, don't pick on Sergei," Gwen said absently, lifting Bryant
up.
"Yes mooommmmmm," Bobby said, grinning.
"Bobby, shut up."
Julie and Rogue
"Yeah, Bobby, shut up," Julie teased.
"Developing control... for some of us that's the hard part," Rogue said
quietly.
"Kitty! Come in the pool!" Theresa said. "The water's fine."
Kitty grinned, sat down and dangled her legs in the pool.
Octavian and Jono
"Of course no one objects when *I'm* the one who's being picked on,"
Octavian said, pouting slightly.
Course not. What, Tav, ain't man enough to take it?
"Oh, quiet you."
Gwen and Bobby
"Um... yeah... Jono, don't pick on Tav," Gwen said, unconvincingly.
"Right," Bobby said getting up and going over to Julie. "I'll get
you for that."
Rogue, Shannon and Julie
"You get what you give?" Rogue suggested to Octavian cheekily.
Julie stood up and ran a finger down Bobby's chest slowly.
"I'm sure you will," she replied coyly.
Shannon shook her head and Kitty joined Theresa and the others in the
pool.
Octavian and Sergei
Octavian sighed.
"Cheer up, tovarisch," Sergei said, grinning.
"You're not the one who's being emotionally scarred."
"As I think it's been mentioned before, your ego's big enough to
recover."
"I am *so* wounded."
Rebekah, Gwen and Bobby
"Cheer up Tav, Bek still likes you," Gwen grinned.
Rebekah, who hadn't been listening, looked up at her. "I what now?"
"Like Tav."
"Oh... yes."
"See."
"Gwen just knows it all," Bobby said snidely.
"Right... I've had enough of you, shut up or go away."
"Sorry mom." Bobby grinned and turned to Julie. "I have a number of
ways in which I'd get you back..."
Rogue and Julie
"I think that despite his ego," Rogue smiled, "Tav is rather likeable.
Not as likeable as you though, Jono."
Julie grinned at Bobby.
"Is that a threat or an invitation?" she asked.
Displaced
Jonothon ran his fingers softly down the side of Rogue's face,
feeling more then slightly pleased.
But Tav has to work at being liked. I just manage to do it
anyway.
"I'll have you know that I don't," Octavian said.
"Sure you don't," Sergei said.
Octavian lifted an eyebrow slightly and moved a bit closer to
Rebekah.
Bobby, Rebekah and Gwen
"It's both," Bobby said to Julie, putting an arm around her waist.
Rebekah smiled at Octavian. "I assure you, Octavian can be quite
likeable."
Gwen raised an eyebrow. "Then why has he never shown this quality to
anyone but you?"
Julie and Rogue
Julie put her arms around Bobby's neck.
"I like the sound of that," she informed him.
"Oh, get a room," Rogue said, then she realised what she said. "Noooo,
I didn't say that -"
"I like the sound of that too," Julie grinned.
Sergei and Octavian
"Simple rule. Don't. Say. Sexually suggestive things around Gwen and
Mordred, Faith, Octavian and espcially not around Julie and Bobby,"
Sergei said to Rogue.
"Are you suggesting I am controlled by my baser instincts?" Octavian
said.
"Tav, you're a slut. We all know it."
Octavian shrugged slightly.
"At least I'm getting laid."
"At least I'm not increasing the risk of getting some disease,
tovarisch."
Gwen and Bobby
"Me?" Gwen looked up. "I don't know what you're talking about, I'm
completely innocent."
"Then I spose Eavan and Bryant were an immaculate conception and
you're the virgin Mary?" Bobby asked, looking amused before leaning
in and kissing Julie's neck.
Julie, Rogue and Shannon
Julie giggled and tilted her head slightly to make it easier for
Bobby.
"About as innocent as a serial killer," Rogue commented, sardonically.
Shannon smiled.
Mordred and Octavian
"No, the serial killer would be Spike, or Angel," Mordred said
thoughtfully.
"I notice you didn't say the 'D' word," Octavian said.
"That demon shall not have her name mentioned in this house."
Bobby and Gwen
Bobby let his hands explore around before leaning up to Julie's
ear. "So... it's pretty crowded out here, and I feel kinda dirty,
what do you say we go have a shower?"
Gwen leaned against Mordred. "Hmmm... do we still have those gems?"
Julie and Rogue
Julie shivered a little.
"Yeah... feeling a little dirty too... Rogue? Would you mind?"
Rogue shook her head in disgust.
"Yeah, okay... this ought to pay for those CDs I want..."
"That's wr- right," Shannon grinned. "Look on the dim - bright side."
Mordred and Octavian
"Yes, we do have the gems still...I gave one to Angel though."
Mordred dropped a kiss on Gwen's lips.
"And we really should pay Dem for London..."
"Because my sister in everyway needs money," Octavian said dryly.
"I thought your motto was, capitilism now! Money is good! More money
is better!"
"No, my motto is Rank Hath Its Priveledges, you illbreed Welsh serf."
"Oh, sorry sur, sorry," Mordred drawled in a lilting comically
thickened accent, pretending to dip his cap.
"So you should be."
Gwen and Bobby
Bobby stood up and picked Julie up, carrying her inside, heading for
the bathrooms.
Gwen kissed Mordred again. "Awwwwwww, cuteeee," she said, knowing
this would get some sort of outraged reaction.
Julie and Rogue
Rogue rolled her eyes.
"Those two -"
"Hey Rogue, you planning on coming in?" Kitty asked.
Rogue shook her head.
"Naw."
Julie giggled as they arrived at the bathrooms.
"Hmm, eenie meenie miney mo... into which one shall we go?"
Mordred and Octavian
"I'm not cute," Mordred said.
"And if you're referring to Bobby and Julie, that's not cute, that's
nauseating."
"Here, here," Octavian said.
"You're just jealous its not you."
"You know me too well."
"And oh god, how I know that..."
Gwen and Bobby
"Yes you are, you're cute," Gwen said, then grinned cheekily as she
whispered in his ear. "And oh so tamed."
Bobby bent his head and kissed Julie, moving her into the closest
shower.
Julie and Rogue
"I'm with Mordred... Julie and Bobby are definitely nauseating," Rogue
grinned.
Shannon chuckled.
Julie kissed Bobby back, her tongue playing with his, their rings
tangoing with each other.
Mordred and Octavian
"I'm *not* bleeding cute," Mordred growled.
"And definetly not tamed!"
"No, just whipped," Octavian said.
Gwen, Rebekah and Bobby
"Not tamed?" Gwen pouted. "Well... I'll have to try again, won't I?"
"Oh please, I did not need to hear that," Rebekah said, wrinkling
her nose.
"Hear what, Bek? How I tried to tame Mordred? Well, I used - "
"Nonononononono!" Rebekah cried, covering her ears.
Bobby turned the taps on and adjusted the water, closing the door
behind them, and kissing Julie again.
Rogue, Shannon and Julie
"With Rebekah. Don't want to know," Shannon said.
"Yeah, so shush Gwen," Rogue put in.
Julie let the water rush down her, smiling a little, knowing what
effect water has on white shirts. One hand wrapped aorund his back, the
other pulled down on Bobby's board shorts.
Octavian and Mordred
"Why not? Could gain pointers, though I doubt it," Octavian drawled.
"I am *not* tamed, and we're not going to try and do it again, *are*
we love?" Mordred said to Gwen, ignoring Octavian.
"Whipped. Purely whipped."
"Shut up, Tav."
"I must admit, it's fascinating watching you dig yourself into a
deeper put. Do carry on, old boy."
Gwen, Rebekah and Bobby
Gwen grinned cheekily at Mordred.
"We're not? But from what I remember, you did enjoy it last time...
after all, you were har - "
"Oh no, please no!" Rebekah replied, her hands going back over her
ears.
"Well, thing is, I've gotta tame you... it's become a challenge. But
I used a lot of my good stuff up last time, whips, chains, wax - "
"LALALALALALALALALA!" Rebekah cried.
Bobby grinned and helped Julie out of her clothing.
Shannon, Rogue and Julie
A horrified look crossed Shannon's face.
"Ugh! Gwen!" Rogue exclaimed. "Don't wanna know. Seriously, don't
want to know. Look! You've scared Shannon."
Julie put one hand on Bobby's chest, playing with his nipple ring,
while her other hand played with his more southern ring. She kissed
hiem eagerly.
Displaced
Jonothon rolled his eyes.
I'm there on the not wanting to know wagon.
Octavian laughed.
"Been there, done that..."
"Shut *up*!" Sergei clamped a hand over Octavian's mouth.
"We learnt enough about your sex life when we playes Truth or Dare!"
He yelped in pain and withdrew his hand hastily when Octavian bit
him.
Gwen and Bobby
Gwen grinned and adjusted herself comfortably on Mordred.
Bobby licked at her neck, then moved his head down and nipped at the
insides of her thighs, after removing her pants.
Shannon and Julie
"Psst! Shannon!" Kitty called.
Shannon looked over, and Kitty gestured to a bucket. Shannon grinned,
and gave the bucket to Kitty, who filled it with water and handed it
back to Shannon. Shannon then walked calmly over to Gwen and Mordred
and poured it all over them.
Julie smiled and reached her arms over her head, standing right under
the shower head.
The Mavericks
Mordred shook his eyes clear of water, and glared at Shannon.
"Look of Death! Patented Lewllyn Look of Death!" Octavian said.
"We have a patented look of death?" Vortigern asked as he came
outside.
"Well, Mordred does," Octavian said thoughtfully.
"You don't use it too often."
Gwen, Rebekah and Bobby
Gwen sat up.
"Ok, cold... my nipples could cut glass."
She grinned cheekily.
"Gwen..." Rebekah started.
"Yes?"
"Nothing."
Gwen raised an eyebrow at Octavian. "Oh that's his shirty look."
Bobby licked over her, then let his tongue do the mavellous work it
does.
Shannon, Rogue and Julie
Shannon wagged a finger at Gwen.
"No one here 'cept Mordred, interested in your sex life. Next time we
push you both in pool."
"Whoo hoo! Go Shannon," Rogue cheered.
Julie moaned a little.
"Bobby..." she gasped.
Mordred, Octavian and Jono
"I'm not shirty. Only British people get shirty," Mordred said.
"And 'M not British. I'm Welsh. Octavian could be seen as shirty..."
"Debonair, perhaps. I wouldn't be so dreadfully lower class as to
appear shirty," Octavian said, resting his head on his arms as he
leaned on the side of the pool.
Go Shannon. The corners of JOnothon's eyes creased slightly in
his
grin.
Gwen, Rebekah and Bobby
Gwen shrugged.
"Keep in mind, you hurt him, and I hurt you," she said pleasantly.
"Well, that was nice and scary," Rebekah commented.
"Just telling the truth, I happen to be quite protective of my
wolf... who is currently shirty."
Bobby grinned and licked over her, before inserting two fingers.
Shannon, Rogue and Julie
Shannon grinned and gave a little bow.
"And now to change the subject..." Rogue said.
Julie moaned. One hand went down to Bobby's hair and held on tight.
Mordred, Octavian and Jono
"I'm not at all," Mordred whispered into her ear, before he kissed
down her neck.
"Shannon! Bucket!" Octavian said.
Mordred flipped him two fingers as he kissed Gwen slowly.
Octavian sent a spray of water at Gwen and Mordred, drenching them
again.
"Right."
Mordred looked at Octavian.
"I'm going to hurt you later."
New topic, anyone? Jonothon asked.
Gwen, Rebekah and Bobby
Gwen leaned up to Mordred's ear.
"But would you hurt me later?" she whispered, then moved her head
down to lick his neck slowly.
"Yes, moving along from the mating ritual that seems to be happening
over there," Rebekah commented.
Bobby hummed into her, adding a third finger.
Shannon, Rogue and Julie
Shannon began to fill up the bucket again.
"How about..." Rogue began, "stuff. Stuff is good, don't you think?"
"Bobbyyyyyy..." Julie groaned. "I dare... you to... bite me..."
Mordred, Octavian and Jono
"Sure I'll hurt you later...if that's what you want," Mordred
murmured into Gwen's ear.
Stuff is great. Jonothon nodded.
"Shannon! Bucket! Bucket now!" Octavian said.
Bobby and Gwen
Bobby grinned and bit her lightly, adding a fourth finger as he did
so.
Gwen leaned up and kissed Mordred. "Counting on it."
Shannon, Rogue and Julie
Shannon shrugged and emptied the bucket over Gwen and Mordred again. Then she gave them a look and gestured to the pool with a raised eyebrow.
"See now, I think that... umm... yes that," Rogue went on.
Julie moaned, her hands pressed against the shower walls on either side.
Mordred and Octavian
"Shannon..." Mordred said warningly.
"And don't think I've forgotten about you, Tav."
"Oh you wouldn't, would you. Mind like a steel trap."
"Pain for you. Much pain."
"Threats, threats."
Gwen, Rebekah and Bobby
Bobby hummed again, and put his tongue and his stud to good use.
"Hard nipples, again," Gwen commented.
"Over share," Rebekah said.
"Ooh, hanging out with American's too much, picking up our slang!"
Gwen said, grinning triumphantly.
"Hush."
Shannon and Julie
"Stop... dirty talk," Shannon said firmly. "Stop now. Not want to know. This is court of love, not lust."
"Ohhhhhh... Bobbyyyyyy..." Julie groaned as she came.
Octavian and Jono
"Good point," Octavian said, nodding at Shannon.
"Jono...you're dry. How about getting your guitar and serenading
your lady fair?"
And how about, no?
Bobby and Gwen
Bobby licked it up, then moved up to kiss her, letting his fingers
re-enter her.
"Come on, I'm sure Rogue would like to hear a song," Gwen said,
wiping herself dry.
Rogue and Julie
"Aww, he doesn't have to if he doesn't want to," Rogue said, blushing a
little.
Julie kissed Bobby back, her arms wrapped around him tightly. She
lifted one leg and rested it around his waist.
Displaced and Mordred
"Jooonnooooooo," Octavian said.
How many times? No.
"Do Collared Lady," Sergei suggested.
No.
"So stubborn," Octavian said.
"Very," Mordred agreed. He took the towel from Gwen and rubbed his
hair partly dry.
Gwen and Bobby
Gwen shivered as a slight breeze blew. She wrapped the towel around
her shoulders and lay back against Mordred.
Bobby slowly slid inside Julie with one thrust, lifting her up
slightly against the wall.
Rogue, Shannon and Julie
"It's okay, really," Rogue insisted.
"Lunch?" Shannon suggested.
Julie moaned and kissed and nipped at Bobby's neck.
Mordred and Octavian
"Yeah, it's getting cold," Mordred said, cuddling Gwen.
"Good point. But I don't want to go into the showers while I don't
know where Bobby and Julie are..." Octavian said.
Mordred looked at him.
"Trust me. You don't want to go to the showers."
Gwen and Bobby
Gwen giggled. "God, who would do it in the shower, hmm, Mordred?"
She squeezed his hand gently, leaning back into his arms, still
shivering lightly.
Bobby moaned and thrust in and out of Julie, slowly speeding up.
Rogue, Shannon and Julie
Rogue stood up.
"Come on you two poor kids who have been corrupted at birth," Rogue
said to B'Elanna and Tom. "Let's go inside, huh?"
"Corruped at birth?" Shannon asked.
"Yes. Their parents are both sex maniacs, obviously."
"Ahh."
Julie groaned as she started to come.
Displaced and Mordred
Jonothon stood as well.
Want a hand, luv?
"Showers can be fun," Octavian said, smiling slightly.
"Oh, go away," Sergei said as he got out of the pool.
"Could, but I'm not going to."
Octavian got out as well, shaking his head free of water droplets.
"Which set of showers are they in, Mordred? We could possibly sneak
through to the gym ones..."
"They're in the main lot," Mordred said.
Gwen and Bobby
Gwen sat up and folded the towel roughly and went over to the
stroller, and fixed Byrant and Eavan up.
"Hmmm, they'll need lunch and then a nap..."
Bobby kissed Julie and moaned into her mouth as he came.
Rogue and Julie
"No thanks," Rogue replied with a smile. "I can manage."
Julie panted a little, her body still pressed against Bobby's. Then
she began to kiss her way south.
Mordred, Octavian and Sergei
"Alright, love..." Mordred kissed the side of Gwen's neck.
"Tav, give me my towel," Sergei demanded.
"Make me."
Octavian winked, then ran off.
"Borzhemoi! Could he be any more childish?"
Gwen and Bobby
Gwen took Mordred's hand and pushed the stroller with her free one.
"Shall I meet you in the caf for lunch... or..."
Bobby let his head thump against the wall, closing his eyes as the
water ran over their bodies.
Rogue, Shannon, Gambit and Julie
Rogue pushed the stroller towards the caf, Shannon not far behind.
"Afternoon, cheri," Gambit said, appearing in the doorway.
"Remy!"
Gambit smiled.
"I heard yo' were all out 'ere."
"We were just heading in for lunch."
"Okay den."
Julie licked, nipped and kissed Bobby, her hands squeezing his butt
cheeks.
The Mavericks, Logan and Sergei
Octavian appeared in the caf, somehow managing to look cool and
collected, hair only slightly damp and curling at the ends. He sat
down next to Demetria who was holding a cup of tea carefully,
sipping from it occasionally.
"Feeling any better?"
"Yes."
She glanced at him and smiled slightly.
"Thanks...I can't believe I acted so..."
"You had a bad experience. It's only to be expected."
Octavian put his hand on her shoulder and massaged it gently. She
leant her head against his hand and sipped from her tea again.
Sergei had managed to make another towel using his atom
manipulation, but a low murmur of Russian curses punctuated his
movements. He nodded at Gambit, then headed inside to get changed
out of his swimmers.
"I'm going to get changed," Mordred told Gwen, before pecking a
quick kiss on her cheek. He disappeared.
"There's a...oh, it's just you, Gambit." Logan visibly relaxed
before turning to go back inside.
"I better get back on security. Scott's let it get so run down..."
Gwen and Bobby
Gwen nodded and went to their room slowly, to change and put the
babies to bed.
Bobby moaned and bit his lip.
Rogue, Shannon, Gambit and Julie
Rogue, Shannon and Gambit entered the caf.
"Dem," Gambit smiled. "And 'ow are yo'?"
Julie took Bobby in her mouth.
Demetria and Octavian
"I'm fine, and how are you, Remy?" Demetria smiled back.
Octavian leant back in his seat slightly, hand still on her
shoulder.
"So you're alright now then, old mum?"
"What?" Demetria looked at him, slightly puzzled.
"Why did you call me old mum, you odd being?"
"Cos. You're such a mum."
He got up, and took her empty cup of tea, kissing her on the cheek
quickly before leaving. He managed to dodge the swat she aimed at
him.
"So very odd..."
Demetria shook her head lightly.
Gwen, Rebekah and Bobby
Gwen put Eavan and Bryant to bed, knowing they'd sleep for the next
few hours. She changed quickly and went to the caf.
Rebekah went inside, changed, avoiding walking past the bathrooms,
and went to the caf.
Bobby leaned his hand against the wall, closing his eyes as he let
his other hand tangle in Julie's hair.
Gambit, Rogue and Julie
"I'm very well, t'ank yo' Cheri," Gambit replied. "And all da better
fo' seeing yo'."
"Aww," Rogue teased.
Julie ran her tongue around Bobby end, her ring tentatively playing
with his.
The Mavericks and Sergei
Mordred showered briefly in the gym showers, then 'ported back to
his room to get changed.
Demetria blushed slightly.
"And the same to you."
"Of course, isn't it always?" Octavian said to Sergei as the Russian
asked him a question. He put a new cup of tea down in front of
Demetria and she gave him a suspicious look.
"What did you do to it?"
"Nothing, mum, I swear!"
"And can you stop doing that? It's quite disturbing."
Gwen and Bobby
Gwen raised an eyebrow as she walked into the caf.
"I heard the word disturbing... am I to assume someone's talking
about Tav?"
Bobby moaned and came, panting slightly.
Rogue, Gambit and Julie
"As always," Rogue smiled. "So, Remy, planning on playing the game?"
"Game?" Gambit asked.
Julie cleaned Bobby up, then stood up again, her arms still around him. She kissed him softly.
Demetria and Octavian
"Slight game," Octavian said.
"Very small," Demetria added.
"Called the Court of Love-"
"We sort of stole the idea-"
"Medieaval thing-"
"Basically, the 'knights', though they're not very chivalrous-"
"And I suppose the ladies are ladylike?"
"Perfectly," Demetria said calmly.
"Then how do you explain Julie?"
"Hormones?"
Gwen and Bobby
Gwen sat down at the table. "Well, I say, well done Bobby and Julie.
They've found a way to satisfy themselves."
Bobby kissed her back, his arms around her waist.
"Hmm, shower's getting a little cold," he murmured absently.
Rogue, Gambit and Julie
"Ahh, I see," Gambit replied.
"Julie is a lost cause," Rogue said. "I thought she was sensible when she first came here, but then there was that group sex with Bobby and Zac and Kate... hey, speaking of Kate... haven't seen her for awhile."
Julie rested her head on Bobby's shoulder.
"Well, we can always turn the water off... then heat things up. Or we can just rejoin the others if you think you're clean now..."
Sergei, Octavian and Demetria
"More or less, the guys have to go around and be nice to the girls,"
Sergei said, to try and straighten it out for Gambit.
"Give them love tokens and stuff. It's been amusing to watch Mordred
twitch," Octavian said laughing.
Demetria giggled.
"Oh, quite."
Gwen
"Making Mordred twitch?" Gwen raised an eyebrow. "What exactly have
you been doing? Am I to assume you wrote the poem allegedly from
Legolas?"
Rogue and Gambit
"Ooooh, someones in trouble now!" Rogue giggled.
"I see," Gambit said thoughtfully.
The Mavericks and Sergei
"Me? Never!" Octavian said, looking innocent.
"How could you think such a thing, Gwen? I'm deeply shocked and
honestly appalled that you could think that of me."
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, mate. Jonothon said,
rolling
his eyes slightly.
He put his arm around Rogue's waist and leaned his head against her
shoulder briefly.
"Vortigern, you should wash your hands before you start eating,"
Demetria said.
He glanced over at her then grinned. He had oilpaint all over his
hands. As per usual.
"Dem, if it hasn't killed me yet, it's probably not going to."
"And besides, it adds flavour, doesn't it, Vort?" Octavian said
dryly.
"Oh, shut up."
Gwen and Rebekah
"Hmmmm," Gwen said non committedly as she loosely tied her hair
back. "I'll make Mordred find out... for me..."
Rebekah made herself a sandwich and settled down at the table.
Rogue and Shannon
Rogue smiled.
"You think I haven't the wrong idea, Rebekah," said Shannon, then
groaned and corrected herself. "I think you have the right idea."
She stood and began to make herself lunch.
Octavian, Sergei and Demetria
"Mordred isn't going to look in my mind. He's too afraid of what
he's going to find," Octavian said confidently.
"I would be as well, if I was a telepath," Sergei said dryly.
"You're just too disturbing for words."
Demetria giggled and Octavian pouted slightly.
Gwen
Gwen shrugged and got up to make herself and Mordred some lunch.
"I just hope you remember that he will hurt you if you've done
something..."
Shannon, Rogue and Julie
Shannon was sitting back down with her lunch when Julie reappeared.
"Oh this is where you all went," she said.
"Yes it is," Rogue answered.
"Well?"
"Well, what?"
"Aren't you gonna ask me if I had fun?"
"I already know the answer."
Julie grinned.
The Mavericks
"Mordred has been threatening to hurt me for forever," Octavian said.
"It's true," Demetria said.
"If you weren't so annoying..." Vortigern said.
"I am not annoying."
"Says the man who talks Latin in his sleep."
"Can I help it if I'm cultured?"
Mordred entered and went to Gwen, kissing her cheek softly.
"Problems?"
"No. Everyone's just bagging out Tav, again," Vortigern said.
"So, nothing new under the sun?"
"I resent that!"
Gwen and Bobby
Gwen pointed to a plate with a sandwich on it.
"That's your lunch, love."
Bobby walked in.
"Domesticated..."
"Shut up, or get out."
Julie and Rogue
"If he goes out, I go out," Julie said cheekily.
Rogue groaned.
"I'd say you should ahve your tubes tied so that the world at large
isn't exposed to any more of your offspring, which at the rate you're
going we probably will. But that would most likely encourage you."
Julie shrugged.
"You get that. Now..." and Julie slung an arm around Octavian.
"People ragging on you again, sweetie?"
The Mavericks and Sergei
"Thank you, love," Mordred said as he sat next to Gwen. He picked up
the sandwich and started to eat it.
Octavian pouted and cuddled into Julie.
"You in passing as well...but mainly me. I don't know why..."
Demetria chuckled.
"You do."
"I don't. I can't help it if I'm so very attractive everyone else is
jealous."
Sergei threw somehting at him and Octavian caught it before putting
it on the table.
"See, that wasn't very nice."
Bobby, Gwen and Rebekah
"Yeah, we're jealous because you're attractive... that's gotta be
the reason we pick on you..." Gwen nodded. "Or... in the
alternative... maybe it's not."
Bobby looked confused. "You know, you could've just said not."
"Yeah, but I like confusing you."
"Not that it is very hard," Rebekah muttered.
"Oooooh, good call," Gwen said.
Julie and Rogue
"I think he's attractive," Julie smiled. "I think that's exactly why
they pick on you, Tavvie."
"Umm, Julie, the guys are supposed to give us compliments today, not
the other way around," Rogue teased.
"What? And let them have all the fun?"
"I think you've had more than enough 'fun' for one day."
Mordred and Octavian
Octavian grinned.
"You can never have enough of that type of fun."
"There speaketh the tomcat in heat himself..." Mordred murmured.
"Shut up, Wolf."
"Meow, pussycat."
Bobby and Gwen
"Like you guys can talk about being in heat," Bobby said.
"Jealous that I'm getting some?" Gwen asked.
"No, coz I just got some."
"But not with Mordred... and that in itself is a reason to be
jealous."
"I'm not gay."
"Are you sure?"
Julie, Rogue and Gambit
"I'll be right back," Gambit promised, standing up.
"Where you going?" asked Rogue.
"As I said, I'll be right back."
Julie sat on Octavian's lap.
"I could have a little more of that fun," she said, here eyes
twinkling.
Octavian and Mordred
Octavian put his arms around Julie's waist and kissed her neck.
"You think?"
Mordred shook his head.
"S'wonder you haven't caught something...or gotten someone pregnant."
"Luck?"
Bobby and Gwen
"Yeah, you should be careful," Bobby commented.
"Oh like you're one to talk," Gwen shot at him.
"I am. I talk a lot."
"Yeah, all talk, no action."
Bobby sat open mouthed for a second. "I hate you."
"Good. You wanker."
"Bitch."
"Arsehole."
Julie
"Pregnancy ain't all that bad," Julie teased. "You should try it
sometime."
"I do - not think nature isn - on his side," Shannon said.
Julie grinned, tilting her neck to give Octavian the bext advantage.
She massaged his leg.
The Mavericks
Octavian murmured his approval against her neck.
"Oh, go get a room!" Demetria snapped.
"Watching your brother do that is just...icky."
"Tell me about it," Vortigern and Mordred said at the same time,
then looked at each other and laughed.
Bobby and Gwen
"Something you guys haven't done then, Gwen?" Bobby muttered to Gwen.
"Shut up... and no, we haven't. Although we've probably come close,"
she mused.
Julie and Rogue
Julie smiled and moved her hand a little higher up his leg.
"I bet I've done a few things Mordred and Gwen haven't," she grinned.
"Actually... I knew twin boys who were more than happy to -"
"Shush!" Rogue exclaimed.
Julie smirked.
Mordred and Octavian
Mordred chuckled slightly and leaned down to whisper in Gwen's ear.
"You and Spike...truly evil. At least he has an excuse. He's a
demon."
"Twins...we're just lots of fun," Octavian said.
Gwen
Gwen turned to whipser in Mordred's ear in return.
"As if you didn't enjoy it..."
She slipped her hand discreetly under the table to his crotch.
"And as if you're not enjoying it now..."
She looked innocent as she massaged Mordred through his pants.
Julie and Gambit
"Lots, and lots of fun," Julie agreed with Octavian, her hand moving
further up his leg with every word.
Gambit reappeared then.
"Cheri," he said to Demetria, "in da spirit of da game, here's some
flowers fo' yo'."
And he presented her with a bouquet of roses.
The Mavericks
Both Mordred and Vortigern breathed in shakily.
Demetria took the roses from Gambit, smiling in delight.
"Thank you, Remy."
She breathed in the perfume of the roses, smile still firmly in
place.
Octavian's hand kneaded Julie's hip.
Bobby and Gwen
Gwen let her fingers dance over his zipper, then slid into his lap,
grinding her hips discreetly.
"So, what should we do after lunch?" Bobby asked.
"I know what I wanna do... starts with M, ends in ordred..."
Gwen whispered to Mordred.
Julie, Rogue and Gambit
"Yo' welcome, Cheri," Gambit replied with a smile.
"Aww, so sweet," Rogue said.
"What do I wanna do after lunch..." Julie mused. "Or should that question be who?"
"Oh, Julie, behave," Shannon said.
"I am," Julie replied, moving her hand up to Octavian's crotch. "Quite badly."
The Mavericks
"It is supposed to be a Court of Love, not a Court of Lust,"
Vortigern pointed out.
"Ah...think the game has taken a different turn," Octavain said,
smiling slightly.
His fingers drifted down Julie's leg. He laid his hand against the
top line of her pants, thumb rubbing gently against her stomach.
"Recreant," Demetria told him.
Mordred kissed Gwen's neck, breathing a little quickened.
Gwen
Gwen turned her head to kiss Mordred.
"Wanna head back to our room?" she whispered.
Julie and Rogue
"I think the Court of Lust is so much more fun," Julie grinned, her hand still massaging Octavian.
"You would," Rogue remarked.
Mordred and Octavian
"Yeah, why not?" Mordred murmured before he kissed her again.
"Indeed," Octavian drawled.
He dropped his head to nip at her neck again as his slim fingers
rubbed gently at the crotch of her pants.
Gwen
Gwen kissed him back and stood up, taking his hand.
"Hmmm, ok, Mordred and I need to talk, so we'll be going now."
Julie, Rogue, Shannon and Gambit
"I'm sure 'talking' is exactly what you need to do," Julie commented.
"Can you two stop that?" Rogue said to Julie and Octavian. "I mean, really."
"But it's fun."
Shannon nodded her head.
"You are never going to get through to them," she said cheerfully.
"Would yo' like ta go on a walk with me, cheri?" Gambit asked Demetria. "Get away from... this?"
The Mavericks
Vortiger stood and took his plate over to the counter as Mordred and
Gwen left the room.
Demetria stood and gave one more cold glare at her brother before
she went to Gambit's side.
"Please."
Octavian chuckled slightly at her frosty tone.
"Tension much, Dem?"
"You're going to wind up slapped," Vortigern said.
"And I'm gonna laugh."
Gwen
Gwen pulled Mordred into their room and kicked the door shut behind
them, her mouth seeking out his.
"We spend way too much time out of this room."
Gambit, Rogue, Julie and Shannon
Gambit stood and took Demetria's hand.
"Come Cheri," he said, leading her to the door.
Rogue chewed her lip as she watched them leave.
Julie was feeling naughty. Actaully, she was feeling Octavian, but the point is, not as much as she would have liked to. She unzipped his fly and slipped her hand in.
"I heard that," Shannon said, looking at Julie.
Julie grinned broadly as she sent her fingers to work.
The Mavericks
"Is true," Mordred agreed.
He kissed her hungrily.
Vortigern coughed slightly, then slid off the bench he was sitting
on. He left the room hurriedly.
"Excuse me..."
"Methinks the wolf and the storm are getting frisky," Octavian said
dryly.
He shifted slightly in his seat as Julie's fingers kept moving.
Demetria squeezed Gambit's hand gently as she walked with him.
"My brother, my worse half..."
Gwen
Gwen's hands went down to Mordred's pants, and she unzipped his fly.
"Waaaay too much time... in fact, I don't know why we even leave
this room."
Rogue, Julie and Gambit
Julie smiled a little, rubbing harder.
"Oh man... you guys... people are trying to eat," Rogue complained.
"Hmm, wouldn't -"
"No! Don't say it! Ah forbid you, you dirty-minded -"
Gambit smiled at Demetria.
"Den it woul' seem I have da better part of da bargain," he said.
The Mavericks
"I have no idea why we leave this room as often as we do," Mordred
said.
He nipped at her neck before drawing her shirt over her head.
"None at all."
Octavian chuckled slightly, blue eyes dancing with mirth and lust.
"What's the matter, Rogue? Too much for virgin eyes? Should I remind
you exactly what you and Jono got up to...?"
"Oh, it's absolutely true," Demetria said, laughing slightly.
Gwen
Gwen nodded and licked at his neck.
"We should stop leaving..."
Rogue, Julie and Gambit
Rogue went beet red.
"Ah was hardly in my right mind at the time, if you can recall."
"I rather enjoyed that night," Julie mused. "Should do that again sometime."
"You can count me out."
Gambit breathed in deeply.
"It's a nice day today."
The Mavericks
"S'true," Mordred said huskily.
He kissed her neck as he helped her get the rest of her clothes off.
"It was rather...interesting, to say the least," Octavian said.
His breath hitched slightly and he kissed Julie's neck again.
"Tis, rather," Demetria agreed.
"It started to be much nicer after you showed up..."
Gwen
Gwen helped Mordred out of his pants, then licked at his nipples.
"In fact... let's just stay in here forever..."
Julie, Rogue and Gambit
Julie smiled and sighed happily. Rogue shook her head in disgust and looked at Shannon, who simply nodded her head.
"Why, t'ank yo' Cheri," Gambit replied. "Why, I was just t'inking it all got better when I saw yo'."
The Mavericks
"Ahhhh...sounds alright to me," Mordred moaned.
He kissed her hard, hand reaching down between them to play with her
stud.
"Virgin eyes? Virgin ears? If there's any of that description in the
mansion under the age of 16, please, raise your hands," Octavian
drawled, one hand resting against the skin of Julie's stomach and
the other in her lap.
Demetria smiled.
"So...what have you been doing lately?"
Gwen
Gwen moaned into his mouth, then bent to her knees and took him in
her mouth.
Julie, Rogue, Shannon and Gambit
"Ah'm sure you'll be happy to rectify the situation," Rogue drawled.
"Don't give him ideas," Shannon said.
Julie giggled and rested her head on Octavian's shoulder.
"Oh just the usual," Gambit replied. "Many people trusting me with their valuable possessions."
He smiled wryly.
The Mavericks and Sergei
"God, Gwen..." Mordred moaned as his hands went down to touch her
hair lovingly.
"I am always ready to serve," Octavian said, smiling slightly.
"Does he need to be hit?" Sergei inquired, walking up behind Rogue
and Shannon.
"I'm happy to hit him."
"Still annoyed over the towel?"
"What gave you dat idea, tovarisch?"
"Oh, just little things..."
Octavian grinned and kissed Julie on the lips.
"Since you're so trustworthy and all," Demetria said demurely.
Gwen
Gwen hummed around him and rolled his balls between her finger tips.
She sent a light spark through them.
Gambit, Rogue and Julie
"Really?" Julie asked cheekily. "I wouldn't mind a little... service."
Rogue groaned and banged her head on the table.
"Why, absolu'ely," Gambit smiled.
The Mavericks and Sergei
Mordred hissed through his teeth.
"God, I love you Gwen..."
"All you had to do was ask, dear lady," Octavian said, grinning.
"You keep this up, and I really will hit you," Sergei told Octavian.
"A trustworthy thief...such a rare thing," Demetria said
thoughtfully.
Gwen
"Love you too..."
Gwen took him further in her mouth, deep throating him.
Julie, Rogue and Gambit
"The only one who's gonna hit him - at least right now - will be me," Julie declared.
Rogue shook her head.
"Julie..."
"Yes?"
"Nevermind. I think I'm going to get away from this... hormone fest."
"Yes," Gambit agreed. "We are a rare breed."
The Mavericks and Sergei
"Godddddd, Gwennnn," Mordred moaned.
"Oh, Rogue, but we'd miss you," Octavian said, smiling slightly.
Sergei shook his head.
"You are so disturbed, tovarisch."
"I'm British."
"Speaking of thieves..." Demetria mumured.
She suddenly had a pack of cards in her hands and she shuffled them
thoughtfully, before handing them back to Gambit.
"Gwen's been teaching me how to pickpocket."
Gwen
Gwen hummed around him, then reached up and sparked through his
nipple rings.
Julie, Rogue, Shannon and Gambit
Rogue stood.
"Ah don't think ya will, Tav," Rogue replied. "Looks like you've got ya hands full already."
Shannon grinned and followed Rogue out.
"Aww," Julie said.
Gambit gave Demetria a long look.
"Very good," he smiled, taking the cards back.
The Mavericks and Sergei
"Gwen," Mordred moaned, then came.
"Aww, indeed," Octavian said.
He leant his head against her shoudler and kissed her neck
thoughtfully.
"Though Jono would punch me into next week if I tried anything with
Rogue."
Sergei snorted, then went to follow Rogue and Shannon.
"You better believe it, tovarisch."
"It's an interesting and useful skill. And I've always been good
with my hands."
Demetria smiled, blue eyes sparking with sudden amusement.
Gwen
Gwen swallowed and stood to kiss him.
"Ah, always fun."
Julie and Gambit
"Maybe we can trade off," Julie joked. "You can take Rogue, and I'll
take Jono, and then we'll all be even."
Gambit smiled.
"So I've noticed," he said, kissing her hand gently.
Mordred and Demetria
"Yeah..."
Mordred kissed her then teleported them both to the bed, landing
them gently.
"Love you, my Gwen."
"Ah, but do you really want to cope with Jono's angsting?" Octavian
asked her.
"Very observant of you," Demetria said, smiling.
Gwen
"And I love you," Gwen replied softly, reaching up to kiss him.
"Mine..."
JUlie and Gambit
"By the time I'm done with Jono," Julie said coyly, "he won't have
anything to angst about."
She twisted around and stradled Octavian.
"I do my best," said Gambit.
The Mavericks
"I love you," Mordred told her, kissing her softly.
"Always yours."
"You seem to be a general cure for the world's ills," Octavian said,
leaning back slightly to balance them.
"But seriously...they haven't done anyrhing since the mutual handjob
at the party."
"True."
Demetria smiled up at him.
Gwen
Gwen reached down and stroked him gently.
"Love you always..."
Julie and Gambit
Gambit stopped and traced Demetria's face softly. Then he gave her
lips a kiss.
Julie grinned.
"Well, hey, gotta be good for something right?"
The Mavericks
"Always," Mordred whispered, back arching slightly.
He kissed her again as he entered her slowly.
Demetria opened her mouth fractionally, inviting him to deepen the
kiss.
"Oh, everyone's good for something. Dawn will be useful as
landfill," Octavian said cheerfully.
Gwen
Gwen kissed him back, moaning softly into his mouth.
"Love you..."
Julie and Gambit
Julie giggled.
"Yes indeed," she grinned. "Hmm is it just me or is it hot in here?"
She promptly removed her jacket.
Gambit held Demetria close and inserted his tongue.
The Mavericks
Mordred kissed her back gently as he set up a slow rhythm.
"God, I love you, Gwen..."
"I wouldn't say it's just you. Should we go somewhere cooler?"
Octavian suggested, eyes focusing on her breasts.
Demetria moaned softly into his mouth as she kissed him back.
Gwen
Gwen's hips thrust up slightly to meet his as she mouthed kisses
down to his neck.
"Love you more."
Julie and Gambit
Julie smiled, knowing where Octavian's eyes were focused.
"Oh I like that idea."
She pulled her hand out of his pants, zipped him back and and stood up.
Gambit slowly pulled away, resting his forehead against Demetria's.
"My beautiful Cheri," he whispered.
The Mavericks
"Always has to be...a competition with you, doesn't it?" Mordred
said hoarsely.
Octavian stood and took her hand then kissed her hard.
"So...your room or mine?"
Demetria looked into his red black eyes and smiled back.
"My handsome thief..."
Gwen
Gwen nodded.
"Yes..."
She moaned loudly and kissed his neck.
Julie and Gambit
"Hmm... mine," Julie smiled. "After all, if this is the court of love, then as my knight, you should... come... to me."
She grinned cheekily.
Gambit kissed Demetria's nose.
"Anywhere in particular yo'd like ta walk to?"
The Mavericks
Mordred kissed her breasts then sucked hard on the curve of her neck.
"Mine."
"Oh, there will be coming. Hopefully on both sides and more then
once."
Octavian's grin more then matched hers.
"Not really...just walking with you somewhere is fine..." Demtria
said.
Gwen
Gwen moaned loudly.
"Yours," she agreed.
Julie and Gambit
"Good," Julie smiled.
She put her hand on his behind (why take a hand when you can take a butt?) and headed towards her bedroom, glad that Rogue had the forethought to take the twins with her when she left.
Gambit kissed her nose.
"Okay," he said agreeably, retaking her hand.
The Mavericks
Mordred moaned against her skin.
"Quite, dear Julie," Octavian drawled.
He leant down and kissed her.
Demetria squeezed his hand back gently as they started to walk
around the gardens.
Gwen
Gwen reached up and licked and nipped at his neck, panting slightly
as she came.
Julie and Gambit
Julie kissed him back as they arrived at her room. She fumbled for the
door knob, turned it, pulled them in, then locked it again behind them.
Gambit smiled as they continued their walk.
"And what have yo' been doin' wit' yo'self?"
The Mavericks
"God, Gwen!"
Mordred thrust into her hard as he came.
Octavian kissed her, hands going up her top to caress her breasts as
they walked over to the bed.
"Not much, more or less the same school stuff...day in, day out."
Demetria sighed slightly.
"Although our resident insane soothsayer has been slightly
more...off, then usual. Poor man."
Gwen
Gwen kissed him deeply.
"Hmmmm..."
She closed her eyes, lazily content.
Julie and Gambit
Julie smiled and laid back on the bed, pulling Octavian down on top of
her.
"I see," Gambit nodded. "And the musical?"
The Mavericks
MOrdred nuzzled into her neck, almost purring as he blanketed her.
"Not too heavy, am I?"
Octavian caught himself on one hand and then leant down to kiss her
passionately, other hand going to her pants.
"So far, so good."
Demetria smiled.
"And Spike did alter that costume...thank god."
Gwen
"Not at all," Gwen replied, gazing at him with half lidded eyes. She
leaned up and kissed him gently.
Julie and Gambit
Julie kissed him back, lifting her body slightly to make it easier for
him to get her pants off. One hand went behind his head and ther other
pulled up his shirt.
"Dat's good ta know," Gambit smiled. "It was very flattering on yo'...
a little too flattering."
The Mavericks
Mordred kissed her back, tongue tangling with hers.
"Good. Because I'm not sure if I can move."
Octavian pulled her pants off, nipping slightly at the soft skin of
her stomach as he wriggled out of his own pants.
"My thoughts on the matter exactly," Demetria said dryly.
Gwen
"Someone a little tired?" Gwen teased.
She licked at his neck.
Julie and Gambit
Julie sighed happily. She gave his chest a lick as she took off his
shirt. The she pulled her own shirt off.
Gambit smiled and the two continued to wander around the gardens,
chatting about this and that.
Mordred and Octavian
"Oh, shush."
Mordred smiled slightly.
Octavian kissed her and then took her nipple into his mouth and
tugged on it gently, before licking a path across to her other
breast.
"You have very gorgeous breasts. Has anyone ever told you that?"
Gwen
Gwen smiled at him, then closed her eyes.
"Mmm, sleepy myself."
Julie
Julie grinned.
"Not recently," she replied. "But I have to say... I do love the way you show your appreciation."
She reached down and took him in her hands.
Mordred and Octavian
Mordred yawned slightly and moved so that they were cuddling more
comfortably.
"Know what you mean, love."
"Ah well...I say it because it's true," Octavian said.
Gwen
Gwen reached over and kissed him softly.
"Not movin..."
Julie
Okay so lets put this into perspective.
Julie and Octavian are in bed together.
They are both major sluts.
What do you think happened?
Multiple times no less?
'Nuff said.
And the tensions would rise,
We'd watch the girls swim, in their bikinis
Laugh and think, this is Mutant High..."
How you can speak
Right to my heart
Without saying a word
You can light up the dark
Try as I may
I could never explain
What I hear when
You don't say a thing
Lets me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me
Whenever I fall
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
I can hear people
Talking out loud
But when you hold me near
You drown out the crowd
(The crowd)
Try as they may
They can never define
What's been said
Between your
Heart and mine
When you say
Nothing at all
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know
That you need me
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know
That you need me
When you say
Nothing at all
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
