Josephine: You got the plants?
Rogue: *Nods head*
Josephine: You know you can talk, right? Cause I need you to talk.
Rogue: *Nods head*
Josephine: #sigh# *shakes head* I won't push it, just go.
Rogue: *Nods and leaves*
Josephine: I scare me sometimes.
Rogue and Kitty walked in the Rec room, arm in arm talking animatedly about the new production at school. Rogue spotted her target and excused herself from Kitty.
"Logan." Rogue said sitting next to him and staring at him with puppy dog eyes. Though he can't see them because he's reading the newspaper but he was actually staring at Storm at the corner of his eyes.
Rogue was the only one to know, because she's been staring at Logan with puppy dog eyes for the pass 5 minutes!
"Logan…"
Plus he was reading the news paper upside down.
"Logan!" Logan jumped up and alerted others and they stared at Logan and Rogue. The younger recruits caught sight of something and snickered while the older ones laughed freely.
"What?" Logan growled.
"*Cough*reading*cough*upside*cough*down*" Rogue 'coughed'.
"Huh?" Logan looked down at his newspaper and turned it right way up quickly. He glared at the kids and they looked away.
"You owe me." Rogue said grinning. Logan stared at her.
"No I don't-" Rogue pulled puppy dog eyes at Logan. "Fine… What is it?" Logan growled warningly. Rogue smiled innocently. Well, as much as a Goth could look innocent.
"Well, I have a new plant for Storm, but I have something going on right now. Sooo…"
"Let me guess. You want me to pick it up and give it to her?" Logan said gruffly.
"Yeah, but I wanted to put it in her greenhouse. To surprise her you know?"
"Do you want me to pick up a card too?"
"Nah, I'll surprise her after she sees it." Rogue stood up and gave him a piece of paper. "This is where it is. See ya." Rogue said. Logan shook his head, he was going soft.
"Oh, Logan?" Rogue said before she exited. "Don't get lost." (1) Rogue grinned and ran out of the mansion laughing hysterically. The older recruits laughed with her but the younger ones tried to suppress their laughter, so not to get on the bad side of Logan. Logan glared at the door before standing up and exiting. The sound of his motor being revved made his ears perk before running out of the mansion door.
"Thanks Logan!" Rogue shouted before disappearing out of the mansion gates.
Great, how was he going to get there now? Logan glanced at the piece of paper before an idea struck him.
Logan drove through the streets in his new car. *Cough* Scott's*cough*.
Logan stopped outside a house that looked and smelled like it's been painted over again and again. He got out of the car walked towards the gate, if you could call it a gate. He entered and knocked on the front door but as soon as his fist hit the door, a black-blue-streaked hair girl opened the door so… enthusiastically, Logan thought it might have broken the door. Before she could say anything, a brown-red-streak haired girl passed by and called out,
"New boyfriend or did you think it was him?" She teased.
"Don't break the door!" A voice teased somewhere.
"Shut up! It's a customer!" The blue-streak girl shouted before turning his attention to him. And, once again, she was interrupted.
"A customer?" The red-streak girl asked.
"A customer?"
"A customer?"
"Customer?"
"A customer?"
"Customer?"
"Customer."
"Customer?"
"Yeah, customer?"
"Shut your mouths losers, a customer!" The blue-streak girl shouted. "Penelope, bring me the damn plant!"
"Oh, that customer!" 9 voices rang out and snickers followed. Logan raised a brow.
"First customer today, and exactly the right time." She nodded her head. Logan could hear rustling before he could hear a body come in contact with the floor.
"OOOF!" A voice upstairs grunted.
"Fall down again clumsy?" A male voice asked from the top floor.
"I'll be right back." The blue-haired girl said before running away and disappearing.
"So you're the customer." A brown-blue-streaked hair boy asked from his place on the couch. "Good luck!" He said before snickering. The blue-streaked hair girl came back and kissed the boy.
"You know me so well." She said and winked.
"I'm here! So sorry!" A pink-streaked girl said running down the stairs holding a plant.
"Careful, you might trip." The red-streaked girl said teasingly.
"Whatever."
"Here!" The blue-streaked girl said, holding out the plant.
"Thanks." Logan said gruffly before continuing. "Can I ask what's with the streaks?"
"It's part of the club!" She said cheerfully. A thought crossed his head.
"So, is Rogue-" Logan got caught off.
"No time to chat, see you soon!" She said before closing the door. He could hear her sigh before muttering something so low, even he couldn't hear it. Logan shook his head and walked towards his bike. He could hear their laughter inside, and Logan shook his head once more and got on his bike.
"Kids these days." He muttered before leaving.
Logan was lounging on the couch in the Rec room after he put the plant in Ororo's greenhouse. Everything was fine, except he was getting suspicious with the blue-streak girl. She looked oddly familiar; he just couldn't put his finger on it.
Rogue put Storm's psychic, or whatever you call it, in the front of her mind.
"Logan? Logan? Can you meet me in the gazebo?" She said in Storm's voice. She snickered before heading off to the gazebo herself.
Logan sighed, what now? He stood up unwillingly and started off, storm clouds suspiciously started to form.
Rogue waited impatiently holding the string.
Couple minutes later, Logan and Storm were walked towards each other, Logan looking annoyed and Storm looked pissed. Logan stopped right where Rogue wanted him, she pulled on the string.
"What is it 'Ro?" He asked.
"What is it? WHAT IS IT?" She shrieked, the sky darkening and thunderbolts appeared in her hand. "I'll tell you what-" she stopped when she fell against an 'invisible' string and Rogue was glad she wore gloves, if not, she would have rope burns later on. Storm accidentally let go of the thunderbolts and was caught falling into Logan's arms. The thunderbolt hit the trees and right into the sack of flowers Rogue planted there. It rained on them as they stared, lost in each others eyes. Rogue fiddled with her CD player and finally pressed play. 'Kiss the girl' from the little mermaid rang out.
"What were you saying?" Logan breathed.
"What were YOU saying?" Storm replied. Logan grinned.
"Just, kiss the girl…" Storm leaned in and they kissed, sweet and gentle.
Rogue chuckled behind the bushes. This might not be so bad after all. She took the camera and took two pictures. One for evidence for the Royal Highness and one for her collection, Rogue stood up and smirked. She couldn't wait for the next assignment.
Josephine: DUN DUN DUN! I love this! Sigh! Next up: 'Phoenix Blast' anyone up for guesses to who that is? He he he. MUWA HAHAHAHA!
Rogue: You scare me sometimes.
Josephine: HA! I got you to talk!
(1) LOL! It'll come soon! Right after the last chapter! It'll come as an Epilogue/Prologue. Hahahaha!
Rogue: *sigh* Review.
