Hot Fun In The Summertime ((Hellions!))

[chance]

Chance decided it was best to just ignore Cessily the Spoilsport. His attention turned towards Maya and he just shrugged. "Don't know, don't care. Now how are you doing, Gorgeous?" He winked and the nuzzled the side of her neck. His arm slid around her waist and he kissed the top of her head.

A slight chuckle escaped when Jubilee stormed off. When Logan told her to get him a beer, Chance flat out laughed at her. "She gonna kill you for that, man?" From what he could gather, Logan was probably the only one who could get away with that.

Maya rolled her eyes in a playful manner. There were some things about her boyfriend that she'd never understand, but then again women weren't supposed to know everything about her man. The girl looked up into his crystal blue eyes and smile. "I'm quite well. I haven't worn this slip yet and thought this was the perfect chance." she said. However Maya wanted to jump into the pool. She wasn't hungry just yet.

"But I'm gonna go for a swim now." she said lifting her brown slip above her head, revealing her brown and gold bikini. and running to the pool side. Maya launched herself up in the air to do flip into the deep end of the pool.

Honestly, Jamie Madrox was a fairly savvy young man when it came to the dramatics of his classmates. Not because he necessarily cared, but more or less because it would provide some form of leverage to use on his classmates later. That didn’t mean, however, that Madrox knew everything. While blackmail material was wonderful to have, he didn’t know ones that pertained to him. It was kind of backwards, but he could have cared less. Even if that meant someone thought he was more than some sort delinquent on a free ride. So, he responded with a casual nod and smirk to Cessily’s greeting. He nodded to Keller and a few others and snagged a beer Cess had handed off to him. “Why hello. Don’t think we’ve met.” He glanced around the setting and couldn’t help but snicker at her greeting. “Good to know. Thought I was in the wrong place. I got the next round.” He tossed a quick wink her way.

He cracked it open, not wanted to bother with the keg either considering there was something about communal beer that just seemed unsafe. His green gaze settled on where Monet was and he headed over. “Well, look what we got here,” Jamie said as he approached. “I should probably steal you away before your boyfriend comes by.” He snickered a bit as he slipped an arm around the beauty.

“And that’s why you get the good presents.” Julian replied with a faint smirk, having completely missed Cessily’s reaction to Jamie’s appearance. That was another thing he was seemingly oblivious to in the Silver girl’s life, although that was probably by large something he would have been glad of not to know. Of course that was mostly because he lacked the finer social graces to be able to tell her that she was barking up the wrong tree and probably should set her sights elsewhere without making it sound a lot harsher than he meant. He thankfully wasn’t on Monet’s level of bluntness, but there wasn’t enough difference to make him feel comfortable addressing the more subtle aspects of his best friend’s romantic life in conversation. Or in any form, really.

With Cessily leaving to go and talk to Jamie, Julian found himself temporarily devoid of company and without anything to distract him beyond his beer. He momentarily entertained the idea of going over and annoying Logan, but quickly cancelled out the urge by weighing it up against the possible consequences it had for his health insurance. Instead he put that under the heading of ‘things to do after dramatically increasing your blood alcohol content’ or ‘maybe later’ to give it it’s more colloquial name. Annoying Surge, too, would probably come later as well, not really feeling the need to go out of his way at the present moment. Monet wasn’t on his radar due to the virtual suicide-ness of even entertaining that thought in his head thanks to her telepathy, not to mention he actually liked socializing with the raven haired beauty without the constant worry of prankish revenge coming between them. Chance and Maya, well, he doubted he could stomach coming in close quarters with that kissy-face crap without first inoculating himself against it with ample amounts of alcohol.

No, as the telekinetic mutant took another pull from his beer and surveyed the assembled gathering, it really looked like it was going to be another quiet few minutes in the life of Julian Keller. A frightening prospect as it opened up the chance for self introspection, something he’d thus far managed to successfully avoid since coming to the Academy. Thankfully his gaze settled on the familiar form of Jubilation Lee, now more clothed than when he’d first saw her this evening, being ordered around by Logan. Bingo. Annoy the walking firework and see what happens, what could go wrong?

“I wouldn’t take that from him, Jubes, I mean… You do that, and where does it end? You’re already taking fashion tips from him with that outfit…”

Cessily smirked at Julian before she had headed off. After giving Jamie the beer and watching him walk off with just a 'thanks', she stood there and blinked for a couple of minutes. She looked around feeling extremely stupid at the moment. What had she expected anyway, look who he was dating. The silver girl drained her beer and tossed the bottle. Cess made her way, a bit away from the group and sat down on the ground and watched the others. She didn't see herself staying around here for very long. She worried her bottom lip between her teeth and kind of stared off into space.

Monet released a rather bored yawn as she glanced around at the activity around her. It seemed that nearly all of her teammates had arrived at the party. Including Mr. Jamies Madrox. Possibly the only person in attendance who was worth of every second of her concentration. She sighed lovingly at him...and it made her blink and ponder what the hell had gotten into her since hooking up with him.

Monet St. Croix, Ms. Perfect, Independent, Self Sufficient and Keep Your Distance, but feel free to admire was actually smitten with another person besides herself? It was odd...really odd. It weirded her out. Speaking of weird, an eye brow arched as she noticed Ms. T2 approaching Jamie and handing him a beer. At this, Monet couldn't help but chuckle. She was aware that the girl had a thing for Jamie and found it utterly pathetic that she held on to the crush. Like Jamie would ever settle for that when he already had the perfect girl.

"I think you should. I mean, what he doesn't know won't hurt him, right?" she winked back to Jamie as she adjusted herself to give him more room to sit with her. Once situated, her arms wrapped right back around him and she nuzzled her face gently into the side of his neck. "How have you been, darling? And thank you for occupying my attention away from these...lovely people." Sure deep deep deep deep deep down, she cared about the others, some more so than others, particularly her good friend Julian and especially Jamie, but some others...well they were just special in another kind of way. Particularly if they were asian and tossed fireworks from their fingers.

Late!

That was Marie's thought as she held onto the Devil as it flew across the sky. Well, that and she was kind off pissed at Adam- the two had just gotten into a fight, which why she was running late in the first place.

The Devil landed in the front yard of the mansion, and Marie jumped off, landing neatly on the ground. She waved her hand back at the Devil as she hurried into the mansion, making the construct disappear. She quickly changed into her blue and black swimsuit and then went outside to meet the rest of the Hellions.

"Alright guys n'gals! First grub is up, get it while its hot." he informed with something louder then his indoor voice, but then again people were quite spread out, and he needed to be heard if the food he painstakingly BBQ'ed was going to be eaten.

His eyes scanned over the buns and other bread things people generally put meat into, next to the ketchup, mustard, thousand island and....other things he didn't care to read the label for, either way....Frost kept are surprisingly well stocked BBQ set. They could open a Subway with all these sauces.

[chance]

Chance winked down at his girlfriend. "And it looks good on you." When she said she was going to go for a swim he just nodded, and sipped his beer. He had no compunctions or shyness about watching his girlfriend get out of the slip and showing off her bathing suit. A slight smirk touched his lips as he watched her appreciatively. When Logan said it was time to eat he looked over to see if there was anything he wanted.

The young man leaned over and snatched himself something, he wasn't paying attention, and started to make up his food. Then he went to find a nice piece of grass and dropped down, careful not to spill anything. He didn't realize he was starving until he took his first bite. After swallowing he looked over at Logan. "Not bad."

Maya proceeded to swim around in the pool as she watched her fellow Hellions converse and start to eat. The smell of the grilling burgers made her stomach start to growl. Maybe Maya was hungry after all. She did have breakfast, but that was really early in the morning. Living in the mansion did have some perks, like the all access kitchen.

Even though this was her home now, there was something about this place that she couldn't get used to. Maybe it was the fact she was rarely alone or in a completely safe environment. Maya was used to living on edge, waiting for danger so she could avoid it. With such a docile setting, she didn't know what to do with herself. She was a a BBQ after all.

Her brown eyes scanned the area for her boyfriend. Before she spotted him munching on a burger, she saw Jamie and Monet talking very close with one another. Echo gave a small smile to Jamie then hoisted herself out of the water. Maya wrung the water out from her long black hair onto the patio and sauntered over to Chance.

"That looks good, should I get one?" she asked while bending down to Chance's level on the ground.
