Lorna was settled on the roof with a mug of cocoa in her hands waiting for Jubilee to do her thing. She'd set one of the cameras trained on the area, so anybody who didn't want to brave the snow and cold could watch from the camera room.

"Okay, they need to hurry the hell up," she said, even the slight green glow around her and Jubilee got brighter, along with the heat she was emanating. "I cannot keep this up forever."

"I learned by removing the battery on the alarm before starting and putting it back when I was finished. It took a while, but I can do it now." He sounded notably proud of himself even though the statement itself was rather pathetic.

"The fireworks probably won't last too long." Pete reasoned, smiling to himself, having been convincing himself already that ditching them completely wouldn't have been very nice considering Jubilee was putting an effort into them. "We can come back inside after, or if it looks like they're taking a while we can come back in before they're done." Seeing some of them was better than missing all of them, wasn't it?

He went for his jacket, which he'd plopped onto the counter some time before, pulling it on, though didn't bother with any other winter gear other than his boots. He could handle the weather for a little while. "We could watch a movie or.....something." The last word obviously wasn't indicating that he couldn't think of anything else for them to do, but he was being mindful of potential eyes and ears. "Sound like a plan?"

"Probably not," she nodded. Jubilee couldn't keep it up forever... unless someone had given her sugar, in which case there was probably no telling how long she could go. "And I'd like to see at least part of them."

She watched him pull his coat on and then glanced toward the door, raising an eyebrow as she could have sworn she saw a blonde head moving far too close to the doorway for it to belong to somebody minding their own business.

"Movie or something sounds great," she nodded, grabbing both mugs and moving toward the door. Smiling, she raised her voice slightly and added, "Think I should announce that we're coming out of the trailer now and that Lizzie and Mel should hurry up and pretend they ain't standing right there?"

As she expected, there was a muffled shuffling of feet outside as the girls scurried back to their seats, and she smiled again at Pete. "So predictable."

Pete was laughing again as he moved past her to open the door, peering out at the motion in the darkness as the girls found seats for themselves. Idly he wondered if it was going to be just as difficult to avoid being spied on once they decided to break off from the rest of the group later. For as long as he'd muddled over the idea of them being together he imagined that the curiosity of the other Guthries was always going to be something that would need to be dealt with. That and generally sharing. Thankfully he'd integrated himself with them so well that maybe they wouldn't notice to much. He doubted it.

"After you," he chirped to Paige, holding the door open so she could pass through with the cocoa, feeling a little bad that part of him wished the fireworks would end as fast as possible.
