Disclaimer I don't own
I'm sorry for any OOCness, this was just a cute idea that popped into my head. My family really likes to the thing were you at least two boxes to open before you get the to the gift.
As Xavier sat in his study he decided Rouge was a very special girl. Not only was mutation fascinating and her heart kind, but she had unwittingly gotten Logan and Scoot to work together. For a month. Logan had gone "out of town" for a month. But tonight Scoot had gone out and came back with five large cardboard boxes and Logan. When Xavier had asked what Logan back so soon Scoot had told him their plan. It sure was an interesting one. Xavier smiled tomorrow would interesting.

Rouge woke to Kitty singing as loud as she could. "Oh Yea! It's Saturday! No boring school! Only the fun lessons today!"
"Shut it Katherine!" Banshee was awake. I moaned in to my pillow "Kitty I will hurt you if you don't..."
'Rouge could you come down stairs, there's a package for you.'
'm comin, just let me shower and get dressed'
'of course'
Rouge sighed, but got up to go take a shower. There was a shower for every 5 students. Thanks to Kitty she was up at 7:30. On the bright side, dibs on the hot water. By the time she finished getting dressed in a pair of jeans, a white shirt with gauze sleeves, boots and of course her gloves, it was 8.
"Professor? Where are ya"
"In the backyard" she made her way to the back door. Out side was a strange sight, an 25 feet wide box sat with Strom, Jean, Xavier and Scott looking excited. Scoot had a camera and was trying not to laugh.
"Ya need meh?"
"Open the box" Strom said smiling at her. Very confused and slightly worried the southern girl did as she was told. Inside was other box, and other and other. When she reached the fifth box Jean stopped her. "This is just a bunch of boxes in boxes isn't it?" Rouge turned to Xavier looking unimpressed.
Shink!
She turned back to the box. Six Adamantium claws were sticking out of the box. They ripped through the rest of the boxes, and when they fell to the floor Logan sprung up in front of the girl. "Do I look like a box to you stripes?"
She gaped at him, earning her a low chuckle. "I bought you a present." He held out a small package. She hugged him and moved to took it. "Just a sec. Do you know what a Kit is?"
"No, should Ah?"
"It's a Wolverine's young." He told her. "I go on long solo adventures a lot, it's who I am. But I'll always come back for my kit" at her confused look he motioned for her to opened the little box.
Inside was two necklaces one was a circle with an animal cut out. The world Wolverine was engraved on it. The other one was the cut out with Kit on it.
He put the one that said Kit on her before putting on the other one.
"I always come back to my Kit." She hugged him again. "Thank you." They stayed like that for a long time.

"How'd ya get 'em." She asked admiring her new necklace. "I told Scott if he help me I'd hide in all those boxes." She looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "That was all it took?"
He grinned wickedly. "I might have threated him as well." As an after thought he added "I also told him it would help me feel better about leaving for long periods of time, but it was lie to get him to do it." She laughed, feeling happier than she had in a long time.
