Hey Adam, what was all that about Peter being your girl? 'Cause I don't recall you being in bed with us last night.

[Elle toppled over on top of Adam, arms flailing as he tried to punch him in the face or - because of some residual instinct from being a cheerleader, or maybe just being a girl - yank on his hair.]

"What? Don't like the chin beard?"

[He was convinced he made a very pretty boy, but Adam's opinion still mattered and everybody's comments about his looks were starting to get on his nerves.]

To be honest, I hate it.

[Adam winced as Elle yanked on his hair. He swatted at him, trying to push him off.]

Hair-pulling? Elle, that's horrendously girly.

"Considering that I'm usually a girl, I think I can get away with it."

[Elle kicked viciously at Adam's shins, turning his face away to avoid the worst of the swatting.]

"And whether I'm girly or not, it doesn't change the fact that Peter wants me, not you."

[Adam winced as Elle's foot connected with his leg. He aimed another punch at her nose, hoping for her to let go again.]

Really? I don't think so. If he really wanted you, he would have told everybody by now.

"And if he wanted you, he'd have spent last night in bed with you."

[Elle's head jerked back to avoid the punch, but Adam's knuckles managed to scrape across his chin. In retaliation, he aimed a thumb at Adam's eye.]

[Adam jerked his head to the left, as Elle's thumb shot straight for his eye. Thankfully, she missed.]

"He wants me whether you realize it or not!"

[Slowly realizing that his case was getting more and more pathetic, Adam swung another fist at Elle, glaring at her. He swung punch after punch at him, trying to finally get him unconscious.]

[Elle took three punches before he finally managed to work his arms into a position to block.]

"Maybe you should try to get him to realize it, 'cause he sure seems convinced he's in love with me."

[Beginning to feel a little dizzy from the repeated pummeling, he rolled away from Adam and did his best to stand up and get some distance. He needed a minute to make the ringing noise in his ears go away.]

[Adam stood up also, glaring at Elle. No. Peter was in love with him. That had to be it! He was in love with Peter so much...Peter had to love him back.]

"Right. Whatever. Are you out for the count already?"

[Elle braced a hand against the wall, hoping the stars in front of his vision would go away. If only he had his ability, he'd show Adam who Peter was really in love with.

Instead of fading, the little exploding lights got thicker until finally he couldn't see anything.

In answer to Adam's question, he fell down.]
