"Guess it is," Paige replied, turning to smile at her friend and former crush. "You look good, Bobby. Hoping to get lucky tonight with one of the ladies knocking down the pins?" It was all in good fun, teasing Bobby like she did. He could take it out as well as dish it and that was part of what made him so approachable she supposed. It had what made her like him in the first place, but that was in the past and that was where it would stay. She'd grown out of a schoolgirl's crush and into a young woman's friendship. It made things around the mansion a lot easier anyway. And Paige liked it when things were easier around her. Especially when her brain was always such a mess to begin with. Damn thought process always taking control. When she heard Kitty's voice, the blond smirked and shook her head in amusement. "I don't know about all of us, but you two look nice," she shot back, taking the last two steps before being pulled into a hug by the intangible Shadowcat. The older woman (though not by much) had become the older sister Paige never had. It was definitely a good feeling. One she hadn't expected to find at the mansion at all. It was nice that she could still be surprised by something so simple. Grinning at the redhead that made up their outfit, Paige marvelled again on how she had become part of the stereotypical female trio. Kitty was the brunette, Theresa was the redhead, and then Paige had come along and provided the blond. And the three of them were intelligent, computer savvy women. It couldn't get any better than that, she thought. And well, with friends like Jubilee and Bobby rounding them out, it definitely wasn't like home. It was better. And she didn't feel like she had to hide herself... though, in reality, she hadn't felt like she should have to hide herself in the first place at home either. She'd done it to protect her family. "I'm ready when you guys are ready," Paige replied as she watched Bobby catch the keys. "Technically, Terry and I would be Miss Daisy. We're sitting in the back. Kitty has shotgun next to you." Why? Because Paige noticed things and she was going to enlist Terry in some misbehaving of sorts. |
