Prologue: The Dream

It was happening again. I was reliving The Dream. The dream that I have had ever since the last night I spent with the Brotherhood. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a bad dream. It was a great dream. I just wish I knew if it meant something or if my mind was just playing tricks on me.
That day had been like any other since I had joined the Brotherhood. A crappy day at school followed by a minor tussle between the Brotherhood boys and the so labeled "X-geeks". I had pretty much stopped fighting against the X-Men. I wasn't sure why at the time, but I guess my heart wasn't in it.
That night I came home and fixed my boys some supper. I was the only girl in a house with four guys, so of course I was the designated cook. Todd really wasn't picky, (he ate flies for crying out loud) but I always fixed him something nice. He wasn't much to look at, but deep down he was a real sweetie. Lance and Pietro had taken a liking to my southern dishes as well, and Freddy, well Freddy ate anything. We all piled around the t.v and ate. After doing the dishes I went to bed.
It must have been around 2 A.M. when it happened, I don't know for sure, I never looked at my clock. I remember a breeze floating through my room and over my face. It was a nice gentle breeze and it had the most wonderful smell. I didn't know you could smell in dreams, but in this one I could. After the breeze everything went still. If it had ended there I wouldn't have even remembered it the next morning, with it just being a breeze and all, but then it came back and this time it lingered. It was a kiss. At least it felt like a kiss. That's when I knew it had to be a dream. Because whoever this dream kisser was I wasn't sucking him dry. And then it was over and I finally opened my eyes. All I saw was my curtains fluttering in the early morning breeze.
That was The Dream, but now that I'm at the Xavier Institute I have dreams about The Drean. Don't tell anybody but sometimes I imagine its Pietro kissing me. Everyone thinks I have a thing for Scott, but that's not true. Pietro is my best friend (and even though he'll never know it he holds the key to my heart). Well he was until I left the Brotherhood. Now I never get the chance to talk to him, now he's the enemy. But its hard to think of my boys as being the enemy. Even when we fight them I feel like I'm standing on the sidelines letting everyone else do the work. My job is to stand their and pray that my new family wont hurt my old one.
But that's the scoop on The dream, the dream I dream every night, that is until.......

The Story Begins
"ROGUE!!! You have to wake up, like, right now. Geeze you are, like, always sleeping so late, why do you even bother setting the alarm clock?" That was Kitty, my roommate. As much as I love her there should be a law about rooming a morning person with a non morning person.
"GRRRR go way." That was normal morning reply. Even though I could just crawl out of bed and et ready Kitty and I had sort of started a morning tradition.
"Nope, you like have to get up now. If you don't I'll like have Kurt bampf you to the cafeteria in your cute hello kitty pjs." That was a new one for Kitty. When did hello kitty come into this. And then I looked down.
"Damnit Pryde. You phased these stupid things on didn't you?" I jumped out of bed and lunged for her. "Why can't you just follow the tradition and let me wake up on my own?? No you have to put me in dorky pjs, and threaten me?"
Kitty looked hurt, "Rogue, I didn't just put you in the pjs, Kurt took pictures!!" She flashed me the Polaroid before phasing through the floor.
My jaw practically hit the floor, "PRYDE" I screamed. I had never moved so fast in my life. I thanked my lucky stars that I had taken a shower the night before. All I had to do was get dressed. I ripped off the traitorous Hello Kitty pjs and threw on the cloths that were stacked neatly on my desk. First the jeans, "what the hell happened to mah jeans??" They fit me like a second skin, but there wasn't any time to worry about that now. I pulled on a tank top and a gauzing shirt that was lying there. They looked new, but I didn't want to take the time to really inspect them. I was in such a hurry I didn't even put my usual Goth makeup on. I always had my emergency kit at school. I ran down the stairs and into the cafeteria praying that Kitty hadn't gone though with it. I walked right into......

"Happy birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Rogue, Happy Birthday to you!!!!" My eyes started to tear. The whole entire school was standing there singing me happy birthday. I didn't even know they knew when my birthday was. And right in front stood the X-Men, and OMG, Logan was actually singing with everyone else, and smiling about it! Next to Logan stood Kitty and Kurt. They held a huge plate of chocolate pancakes that they knew were my favorite. And they had that puppy dog look on their faces begging me not to be mad at them. At that I really did cry and I ran and hugged everybody. Today was the best birthday ever!! But then I left with the others to go to school..........
