Love is Overrated
.Hey. Ok it's my first ever fic so I am open to criticism and all that. This story will be in 3rd person. I hope you all like it and it will have more chapters! DISCLAIMER: I do not own X-Men Evolution or characters and I'm not getting any profit from writing this!
Chapter 1: Surprise Guest(s)
Rogue sat on her bed with a book in her hands. Her annoying roommate, Kitty was tearing up her side of the room looking for something or another. She tore through clothes and phased under her bed. She threw clothes out of her drawers and opened her closet and closed it again.
Rogue paid no attention to her, that is, until she started opening her drawers and looking through her stuff!
"Kitty," she said in a mock sweet voice and a fake smile spread across her lips, "Ah've been very patient with you trashing your side of the room. But what the HELL are you doing rooting through my stuff?"
Kitty looked up as if only just realizing Rogue was there. "Like sorry, Rogue!" she said. "But I like totally lost my like favorite pair of shoes, and I have like a date with Lance in like 3 hours! Have you like seen them?"
Rogue just glared at her. "First of all," she said dropping the sweet voice and instead picking up a mock Kitty one, "like if you say like like one more time Ah'm gonna like hit you so hard that like that word will like be erased from your like vocabulary like. Second of all," she said dropping the valley girl accent and picking up her own Southern one, "no Ah haven't seen your shoes! And they are most certainly not in my drawers!"
Kitty looked slightly hurt at what Rogue had told her. "Where could they li-be? Maybe I left them in the rec-room." she said in a sad voice.
With that she phased out the door and went on to continue her search. Rogue felt a little bad for what she had told Kitty. She didn't mean it after all, it's just she was going through her stuff. Rogue had plentyof things she didn't want Kitty to see.
Rogue made a mental note to apologize to her when she came back. Then Rogue got up and walked over to the drawer Kitty had opened. She moved around a shirt and a pair of jeans and found what she was afraid Kitty was going to find.
She pulled out her diary. Well, she called it a journal. Diaries were for insecure middle school kids who had no friends and hated life. A journal was for more mature audiences.
She opened the book and a single item fell out of it. She bent over and picked up the card. It was the Queen of Hearts. She smiled slightly to herself as memories of the bayou filled her.
"Damn it, Swamp Rat!" she said. "If Ah ever see ya, ya had better be ready!"
She replaced the card in the journal and put it back into her drawer. She picked up her book once again and continued reading.
2 HOURS LATER
Rogue turned the last page of her book. It had been two hours so the way she figured it there were several reasons as to why Kitty had yet to reenter the room. Either she found her shoes and left, she was still hopelessly looking for them throughout the mansion, or she found them and just didn't want to come back up out of fear of Rogue.
Rogue closed her book and headed down stairs in search of Kitty. When she got to the bottom of the stairs she saw a huge group of people in a circle. She got closer and was surprised to see Scott and Jean in the middle of the circle.
They lived together on the college campus and only came to visit every other weekend. This wasn't the other weekend.
Mr. and Mrs. Popular are probably announcing their 100th anniversary or something. She thought.
"Oh my god, Rogue did you like hear?" asked Kitty coming from behind her.
"Hear what?" Rogue asked.
"Jean and Scott are like having a baby!" Kitty squeled.
"Oh my god!" Rogue, who was rarely happy for the couple looked them. Sure enough Jean's belly was showing slightly and she was glowing. Scott was beaming and had his arm around her.
"Is it a boy or girl?" Rogue asked Jean.
Jean looked up to see the new arrival. "We're going to have a boy," she said, "to be named Nathan Christopher." (Wink wink)
"Like how far along are you Jean?" Kitty asked.
Jean smiled and answered, "Four months."
Rogue smiled at the two soon-to-be parents.
Then the doorbell rang and Ororo left the circle to answer it. She had forgotten that another new arrival would be coming.
"Hello, Remy," Rogue heard Storm say.
She turned around from Scott and Jean to stare into red on black eyes. He was wearing worn out blue jeans and a plain black T-shirt that clung to his muscular body. His hair was a bit longer than Rogue remembered, but it was the same shade of auburn.
"Gambit?" she asked a little shocked.
"Oui, cherie, you happy to see me?" he said with a smirk on his face.
"What are you doing here?!" Rogue asked harshly.
"I came to join the X-Men cherie. The fact that you were here simply helped me make that decision." Remy said nonchalantly as his smirk grew wider.
At this point all the commotion over Jean's pregnancy switched to the new new guest. Everyone had heard his comment about "joining the X-Men."
"Cherie, you're blushing." Remy said his smirk growing wider.
"Ah am not!" Rogue said although she moved her hand to her cheek, it was indeed warm. "Look, Swamp Rat, Ah don't care if you move in. Just stay out of my way! Ah have enough problems without adding you to them!"
"Oui, cherie, Remy'll admire you from a distance…for now." he said.
Someone in the crowd of people yelled "Yeah, Rogue he'll admire you from afar!"
Rogue glared at him for a fraction of a second and then turned and headed out of the room.
Remy's smirk did waver, he simply turned to Storm and asked, "Can I have a room near hers?"
Storm laughed a little before telling him, "I'm afraid the men/boy dormatories on the other side of the mansion."
"Well den, I guess I'll just have to sneak over to her room." he said jokingly.
Storm looked at her friend a serious expression o her face, "I wouldn't if I were you, friend, Wolverine would have your head."
"Remy will figure out a way..."
So that's how chapter 1 ends! Let me know what you think and how I can improve. But please don't be cruel about it if you hated it!
