Tabby gave Rogue the most innocent look she could muster; she was busted and they all knew it. Shrugging, she brought her free hand up and examined her nails.
"Now Rogue, you have to believe me, it was an accident..." She trailed off, glancing at Rogue to see if she was buying it and highly doubting that she was.

"Accident?" Rogue didn't like the sound of that. "Alright, Tabby, spill. What did ya do? Ah need ta know so Ah cahn make sure Ah don't get in trouble either. Ah don't need any more runs in the Danger Room with Logan."
As she waited for an answer Rogue wondered what was taking Remy so long. She glanced back at the shop he had entered before turning back to Tabitha. One problem was more than enough for the day.

Remy came out of the store with a pocket holding six decks and pulled something else from his other pocket. "Look what Remy-" He was fondly staring at a box of alcoholic chocolates shaped like decks of cards. He stopped showing them off however when he surveyed the scene before him.
"What did yah do?" He asked in an amused tone and looked from Rogue to Tabby.

Tabby sighed. She really didn't care about getting the full blame for what happened; after all, it was her fault anyway.
"Well, you see, I was sitting in the parking lot totally minding my own business when all of a sudden, the car starts itself up and drives straight through the front doors of the mall!" Tabby said, eyes wide as if she couldn't believe what had happened herself.

Rogue's eyes widened in shock. Then a smile felt its way up onto her lips. After a few seconds she chuckled. Scott was going to be pissed later.
"Ya don't actually think people are gonna believe that story do ya? Gawd, Tabs, you're really somethin', ya know that?" Shaking her head Rogue turned to look at Remy. "Alright, Swamp Rat, you're mah alibi--Ah don't want anyone else ta think Ah had somethin' ta do with Scott's car drivin' itself through the mall."

Remy burst ouf laughing and dropped the box of chocolate. Her expression of total surprise at the outragous story was too much for him. The Cajun held a fist over his mouth after a while and tried to hide the large smile behind it. He had a feeling Rogue might not find this as funny as he did.

Pyro had pretty much just tagged along. He wasn't really a man of words. He had wondered here Remy got all of his money from. He had tried to pawn off his talent for cash as soon as it developed, and he couldn't imagine blowing stuff up had a bigger pay off. He knew Remy stole, but from John had seen, he mostly kept whatever he took, or gave it to some girl he found.
"Car started on its own huh? Sheila, you sure need to make up a better story then that if your going to get away with anything.." Pyro said with a grin.

Tabby shrugged; she really didn't care, but she decided to humor him all the same.
"Oh yeah? Like what?" She asked, turning to Pyro. Then she remembered the drink in her hand, as she could hardly feel it anymore.
Tabby turned to Remy. "Here." She held the drink out to him, but turned her attention back to Pyro waiting to hear what he had to say.

Rogue rolled her eyes in amusement. Trust Tabitha to pick up pointers from the enemy. She watched as the blonde handed Remy a slushy. Apparently even Tabitha could say sorry every once in a while.

"Heck if I know, at least claim someone stole it or one of those other kids you play with were playing a prank on you or something. Cars don't start on their own. Oh and by the way, you just admitted it was just a story by asking for a better one," he said, drawing his own conclusion.

Rogue interrupted. "Whatever you say, you cahn think of later. Now we hafta worry 'bout findin' another ride home. Did anyone else here bring a car--or should we start walkin' now?"
Her eyes roved from Tabitha to John to Amara and then to Remy. Someone had to have a solution to their latest solution.

Tabby just stared at John. Was he really that thick? Of course it was a story. Honestly, when was the last time a car started itself up? She just shook her head and turned to look at Rogue.
"Well, I suppose if you guys kept the mall cops busy I could get it out of here. It's a little banged up, but it should still be able to run."

((ooc: I think you missed my point, what I was saying was that you confessed...))
"I've been waiting to make a distraction all day," he said, which was more or less true, mostly he just wanted to catch something on fire, which to him was the ultimate distraction, as he said this he lit his lighter and got ready to cause some damage. He carefully picked a target before he started.

Remy thanked her and took the drink. He wasn't entirely sure if his head was messed up, but for some reason he trusted this drink wasn't about to explode. He waited a while and thought about the situation, but interupted at the suggestion of distracting the mall cops.
"Non. Remy don' like dat plan." He glanced over from Pyro to Pyro's lighter. "Cherie, Remy can jus' walk yah home." He offered and then turned to his prange-haired friend. Once Pyro's lighter was open, there was little hope of stopping him.

John thought about what Remy was saying. On one hand, he got to completly toast some cops, on the other, he would be doing an X-Men a favor, and he particulary didn't like this one. He figured he'd choose not take any action at the moment. Dissapointed the Australian shut his lighter and put it into his pocket.
"Yeah, I guess I can take you guys home too," he said to the group. He figured he'd make this up with some major buring session later. He didn't know why Remy was so against it, but whatever. "Don't think this means I'm not going to burn something else later, mate."
