Chapter One
Rogue squealed in delight for the fifth time that night. Remy LeBeau, her new fiancée, cast a fond glance to his wife to be as she gazed at the beautiful engagement ring on her left hand in admiration. It was simple but beautiful, a gold band with three jewels, two diamonds on either side of a slightly larger emerald.
The two lovebirds were currently driving back from the gorgeous gardens where Remy had just proposed. His answer was, of course, yes. It had been five years since Rogue had fought Dark Phoenix and Remy had admitted his rushed love to Rogue.
Remy had waited long enough to propose.
"Gawd Remy! How'd ya afford it?" Rogue cried.
Remy simply sat back in the drivers seat and flashed a cheeky grin. Rogue gasped.
"Remy! Y'all didn't steal it did ya?" Rogue cocked a brown eyebrow.
"Why you t'ink Remy do dat huh Roguey?" Remy tried to look hurt. "Jean-Luc gave it to moi when I was a garcon."
Rogue nodded. Jean-Luc was Remy's adoptive father and also head of the thief's guild in New Orleans that Remy dearly missed.
"So you like it chere?" Remy asked nervously.
"Sugah, ah don't care about the ring! All ah know is ah'm happy to be mahryin' ya! It IS beautiful though…" Rogue trailed away.
Remy smiled, satisfied.
"Only de best for my femme." He whispered, his red on black eyes twinkling affectionately.
Her heart in the clouds, Rogue closed her bright green eyes and sighed in pure happiness. She had her thief and he had his southern gal. Remy pulled up to the X-Mansion and looked genuinely afraid.
"What's wrong sugah?" Rogue leaned over to Remy.
"What if Logan start threatening moi? You like de petit soeur to him." Remy gulped visibly.
"No worries, Logan's just a big kitty really!" Rogue laughed while skipping inside, desperate to tell everyone the good news.
"Dat kitty got claws chere…" Remy mumbled, soon following Rogue somewhat reluctantly.

Five minutes earlierOroro Munroe, a.k.a Storm, sat down next to her teammate and long-time friend Logan. She smiled hugely and whispered a little too loudly.
"Do you think Remy has asked her yet Logan?" Ororo had a spark of amusement in her clear blue eyes.
Logan kicked Ororo as Bobby and Kurt, two other friends, looked up in confusion and curiosity from the T.V show they were watching, X-Men Evolution funnily enough... Ororo covered her mouth. Logan and Ororo where the only other two people that knew about the proposal. Well, they HAD walked in on Remy practising his speech. It was something like,
"Marry me dammit! Why wont you marry me!!!???" It was quite strange.
Ororo and Logan walked into a room with no one in it.
"I think he'll chicken out darlin'." Logan ran a hand through his unruly black hair.
"Well thank you Mr. Optimistic!" Ororo rolled her eyes.
"Remy's a ladies man, I just can't picture him settling down." Logan shrugged.
"Are you blind? Haven't you seen the way he looks at her? He loves her, and she him." Ororo shot back firmly.
"For how long…" A screaming Rogue cut off Logan.
"I'm engaged!! Oh Ororo, Jean, Jubilee, Kitty! Girls I'm engaged!" Rogue ran in, breathless, her deep green evening dress a little creased.
Ororo gave Logan an "I told you so" look and ran to Rogue, grabbing her left hand.
"Oh it is so beautiful Rogue! Did Remy steal it?" Ororo squinted her eyes.
"For de love of Pete! Remy no steal it!" Remy walked past, looking quite aggravated.
"Congratulations Cajun. You got a good girl there." Logan saluted comically.
Soon enough, the rest of the X-Woman came thundering down the stairs, screaming congratulations and nearly tearing off Rogue's hand to see the ring. A lot of "oohs and aahs" were issued and Rogue smiled in reply.
Professor Xavier came into sight, looking like a very proud father. The rest of the X-Men were gathered around him.
"I'm very happy for you two. I hope you live happily." Xavier smiled.
"Yeah and I hope for your sake you treat her right bub!" Logan pulled out one of his glinting claws.
Remy looked pleadingly at Rogue.
"Miaow?" She laughed nervously.
Rogue and Remy held hands like high school sweethearts and grinned wider than thought possible.
Now all they had to worry about was the… dun dun dun!
