I don't own Xmen evolution, in any way, shape, or form. Now, on with the story.
Rouge growled as she stalked along the mansion halls. Why couldn't she stop thinking about him?
Ever since the "New Orleans incident", as it was commonly called, Rouge's mind had been focused on the Acolyte. She was even messing up in the danger room because of it.
Stupid Cajun. Coming and ruining my concentration. Stupid swamp rat. Argh!
Rouge stopped in the sitting room as she watched a few people huddled in a circle on the floor.
"What are you guys doing?" Rouge bent over them.
"We're playing big two." Jubilee explained.
Bobby slapped down a card. "Hah! Queen of hearts! Beat that!" Rouge looked up startled. Cards? Queen of hearts? Ah've got ta get outta here!
Rouge quickly went on her way. She stopped in the kitchen for a snack. As she was biting into a sandwich, Kitty phased up through the floor right beside her.
"Woah!" She nearly dropped her food.
"Gee! Like, sorry Rouge." She walked over to the pantry. After selecting something, she plopped into the chair across from Rouge and began crunching on her food.
The crunching sound soon got to Rouge and she looked up to see Kitty eating chips out of a tall can. They looked like Pringles.
Kitty noticed this and held the can out to Rouge. "Want some? They're my favorite flavor. Spicy Cajun."
Rouge nearly spit out her sandwich and settled on choking. As Kitty rushed to her side to see if she was all right, she could see the canister was black and red. Oh mah god…
"Rouge! Rouge! Are you like, okay?" Rouge coughed one more time.
"Yeah." She wheezed. "I'm all right. I think I'll go now." She stood up quickly, leaving Kitty thoroughly confused.
She finally settled into the lounge room with Amara, Jamie, and Rahne in the room. They were all watching some mindless cartoon that Jamie loved, but Rouge didn't care. Her mind was off of that despicable person, so she sank deeper into the couch. A commercial break came on, so Jamie started channel surfing. Rouge closed her eyes.
"And the South American swamp rat is a very intriguing species…" Rouge snapped her eyes open.
"S'cuse meh." She pushed herself off the couch and ran to her own room.
"Whew." She closed the door and leaned on it. Falling onto her bed, she stared up at the ceiling until Kurt bamfed into the room. Rouge leapt up.
"Ahh! Kurt! Don' do that!"
"Sorry, Rouge. I vas just vondering if you could help me vith my French."
Rouge's eyes widened. French? This is th' last straw! Gambit's everywhere! Rouge pushed Kurt out the door.
"Sometime later, fuzzy. I'm not so good at it anyway. Ask Ms. Perfect or someone." She locked the door, so no one would walk in on her, although Kitty might.
Giving a sigh of defeat, she pulled out the queen of hearts card that was secretly slipped into her pocket at the end of the New Orleans incident. Flipping it to the back, Rouge picked up the phone and dialed the number scrawled on the back.
As the phone rang, Rouge silently pondered about how he had managed to slip it into her pocket without her even noticing. She heard him pick up the phone.
She took a deep breath. "Swamp rat?"
"Cherie! Remy knew that belle petite would be calling! Is Rouge going to finally go on a date with Remy?"
Rouge sighed. She couldn't believe she was about to do this. "Yeah, ah suppose." She mumbled shyly.
"Really? Cherie is going out wit Remy? I knew belle could not resist Remy's charm and-"
"Save it, swamp rat. Where…uh, do you want to go?"
"Remy will pick belle up at seven for a surprise. Be ready." Rouge nodded, then realized he couldn't see her.
"Yeah, sure. Great. See you at seven ah guess. No wait, am ah suppose ta dress fancy?"
"Sure, but nothing too difficult, although Cherie will look stunning no matter what you wear."
Rouge could feel herself blush. Then they both hung up.
Rouge flopped onto her bed again and sighed. What have I gotten myself into? She looked at the clock. It read 5:38. One hour and twenty-two minutes. Enough time to take a shower, change, and freshen up any other way.
As Rouge was considering what kind of shoes to wear, she suddenly thought of something.
Ah wonder what Logan will do when Gambit shows up at our gate…So, what did you think? If you liked it, review. If you didn't, review. It all works out to one thing: plz review, ppl!
