Author's Notes: This is a new fic that I've wanted to try out, but haven't. It's a Bobby/ Ororo fic, so I hope you like it.
Disclaimer: No I don't own any of the x-men. No I own none of the fine x- babes like Gambit, and dare I say it yes-even Logan. Especially Logan. However if that cloning crap really does work, then lets just say that Hugh Jackman, Tom Cruise, and Vin Diesel will be the first people I would clone. Then they would be my willing slaves, and they will do everything that I tell them to. Whoa. I think I told you guys a little too much information. So just disregard that last statement about the clones. What I simply meant to say is that I don't own anything, but my imagination. By the way I forgot how Remy's accent goes, seeing as to how I barely read the comics since they changed everything. So just bear with me.
Denotes thought
Goddess, will he ever stop talking about her?
Ororo Munro left the dinner table the moment, she heard Bobby Drake talk about his new girlfriend again. He went on and on, about when he had first met Karen Davis, and how she was the one. They had been dating for the past two years, and Ororo had just about enough of hearing about her.
She wasn't pretty, and Storm couldn't figure out why he was interested in her at all. This was a major change for Bobby. He had always dated women that were very exotic looking, but this chick was just plain butt ugly.
Ororo mentally kicked herself for thinking such hateful and ugly thoughts. However the more he spoke about her, the angrier she became. When she couldn't take it any longer, she left her plate on the table and left. She decided to go into the T.V. area, to watch Television. She thought that she was going to be able to watch T.V. in peace, but was surprised to see Remy occupying the couch.
She walked up behind him as quietly as she could, and stood above him. Before he could look up, she tousled his hair with one sweep of her hands. He looked up at her and scowled at her, for messing up his hair. She bent down and placed a soft kiss on his forehead. She sat down next to Remy, and she placed her feet on his lap.
"The petite not eating with the others?"
"No."
"Not hungry?"
"Well actually I was, but let's just say I lost my appetite."
"Let me guess. Did Logan come to the dinner table, eating like he hasn't had food in years."
"No. That's not it."
"Was Marrow using her bone spikes as forks again?"
"Nope."
"I got it. Did Hank drop fur in the food again?"
"No."
"Well chere, I don't know what could've possibly spoiled your appetite non. So you just gonna have to tell me.
"It's nothing Remy."
"Are you kidding me? Remy see the way you eat, and I know for a fact that you don't lose your appetite easily. So just tell Remy what's so disgusting, that you've actually lost your appetite?"
"It's nothing."
"You do realize that I won't leave you alone until you tell me, and you'll never get to see this really good movie that's on."
"Fine. I wasn't hungry, because I got tired of hearing about Karen. It's Karen this, and Karen that. URGGGHH. It's enough to drive you mad."
"Sounds like you're jealous?"
"Of what? The beauty and the beast?"
"Bobby wouldn't appreciate you calling him a beast non."
"That name was reserved for that woman, and for the record I am not jealous of Bobby."
"Are you sure about that?"
"The only thing that I'm sure of, is the fact that I don't like her,"
"That's odd. In all the years that I've been here, I don't think that there was ever a time where I heard you say that you hated somebody."
"I didn't say I hated her, I simply said that I didn't like her."
"Same thing petite."
"Don't you and Rogue have a date or something?"
"Nope. It's just you and me chere."
"Well if we must be stuck together, will you please just let me watch the movie in peace?"
"Actually I was on my way out."
"I thought that you was going to watch the movie with me?"
"I was."
"So why are you leaving."
"I'm going to get some food. Between you, Hank, and Logan, I'm surprised that there's any food at all."
"Why I ought to.."
"What? Electrocute me? We both know that you wouldn't harm one little hair on my beautiful face."
"Don't flatter yourself Cajun."
"Somebody has to Stormy. Besides I want to hear the latest gossip about this Karen chick. You know I think that Bobby's going to ask her to marry him."
"That's absurd." She said as her face tightened up in a frown.
"Tell me about it. Personally I don't think he should."
"Really? Why not?"
"Well for one, she rarely comes around here. Anytime they go out, Bobby's always the one that has to meet her."
"You know that we have to keep our location under wraps anyway, even though she knows where it is already."
"That may be true, but do you see the way that she acts whenever she comes around. She wipes her hands on the side of her pants, every time she shakes one of our hands. It's like she thinks she's too clean to hang out with the likes of some filthy muties."
"So you're admitting that you don't like her either."
"I can't stand the witch, but it's not for the reasons that I just said."
"Well why do you hate her? Don't tell me that you're jealous?"
"Jealous of the ice boy and the ice hearted wench? I don't think so."
"So why?"
"It's simple. It's because Bobby neglects what's right in front of his eyes."
"O.K., and what's that supposed to mean?"
"If I have to tell you the answer to that, then Bobby's not the only one who's blind."
Remy turned his back towards the white-haired beauty. He hated playing mind games with Ororo, but he had to do something soon. He walked to the dining room, and he could hear a lot of people excitedly talking about something. He went into the dining room, and grabbed a plate. He sat down and looked around the large dining table. His eyes settled on Bobby, and he stared at the young man for a couple of minutes.
What does she see in him?
"Hey what are you looking at?" Bobby said, snapping the man out of his reverie.
"What?"
"Why are you staring at me? Do I have some food on my face?"
"Nope. I was just trying to see what Karen sees in you, is all. You look like a fifteen year old boy."
"Bite me Cajun."
"So you gonna marry her or what? You two have been seeing each other for two years now."
"Well that's what we were just talking about. I asked everybody just when would be a good time to propose, and nobody seems to have a decent answer. If Ororo hadn't left so early, then I would've asked her. Scott and Jean said that I should wait for another year, but I don't think so. I've already been with her for two years, and that's long enough. Logan says that I should just elope, and get it over with. It's just that Karen means the world to me, and I want our wedding to be very special. Remy what do you think? Is there any thing that you can think of, that will in any way help me?"
"What do you know about this woman?"
"What do you mean?"
"What do you know about this woman? What is her mother's name?"
"Her mother's name is Sharon Davis."
"Where was she born?"
"Dallas Texas. Remy what's this about?"
"What is her opinion about mutants? Does she even know that you're a mutant?"
"She has no problems with mutants, and yes she does know that I am one. Where are you going with this?"
"I just wanted to see if you're mature enough to pursue this."
"I'm not a kid anymore."
"Yeah I see that."
"You know all I wanted was some advice, but if I knew that you guys were going to give me such a hard time, I wouldn't bothered. Look, I love Karen. She is the woman that I'm going to marry. I made the mistake of thinking that my friends could help me set a proposal date. I guess I was wrong. As a matter of fact, I think tonight is going to be the night that I propose. If you guys don't like it, then that's just too bad."
"Wait homme. I think that you should give it a little time."
"Two years is long enough. I can't believe you guys. Why can't you be happy for me? Unfreaking believable."
With that Bobby walked out of the dining room, and everybody gave Remy a disheartening look.
"What?"
"Why do you always aggravate the boy?" Logan chimed in.
"I don't agree with this whole wedding thing."
"Remy, Bobby is a grown man, and he certainly don't need you navigating his life." Jean said.
"You guys were here. You saw that he couldn't even think of a proposal date. Are you going to sit here and tell me that he's mature enough to pursue this?"
"Bobby's a grown man, who can make decisions for himself. All he wanted was our advice, and not our opinion. It's not for us to decide whom Bobby should be with, even though we don't necessarily agree with his choice. To be brutally honest with you, there's a lot of us here that think that you really don't deserve Rogue." Logan said.
"Well this isn't about me homey, is it?"
"You said it Cajun not me." Logan said with a snicker.
"You know this is what I get for trying to help one of our team mates."
"Bobby doesn't need this kind of help. He needs us to be there for him, actually supporting him." Jean said.
"So does Stormy, but I guess you're all too blind to see that she's in love with him."
"Remy what in the hell are you talking about? Storm doesn't love Bobby. Are you nuts?" Logan said.
"Look I know Stormy inside and out. I see the way she looks at him, and I can tell you that she's gaga over him. To be brutally honest with you, I'd rather see the kid with Stormy than I would with that Karen chick."
"Regardless he's already made his choice, and there's nothing that anybody can do about it." Logan said.
"That may be true, but at least we can try to do something about. I'm not going to sit here, and do absolutely nothing."
"Remy what are you going to do, and it better be good." Logan said.
"I'm going to ruin his proposal."
"What?" Jean said.
"Let's be honest who in their right mind would propose to the woman he loved, when you have a jerk right there ruining it all?"
"Let me guess, you're the jerk right?" Logan said.
"Well actually I was thinking that you could be the jerk mon amie."
"Don't make me hurt you Cajun." Logan said scowling.
"Hear me out mon amie. Bobby is scared of you, and he wouldn't really try arguing with you in a public place. He'd be too nervous and scared to go on with the proposal, with you breathing down his neck. If it were Scott or I, he'd propose regardless. However, if you were there he'd be too scared to move, especially if you were mad at him or something."
"You know that could work." Jean said.
"Of course it will petite, but the thing is finding a way for Bobby to piss off Logan."
"That's easy. All we need is two things." Logan said.
"What's that Logan?" Jean said.
"All we need is Jubilee and her Linkin Park C.D."
"And how is that supposed to help us?" Scott chimed in.
"I'll break the C.D." Logan said.
"And I repeat the question, how's that supposed to help us?" Scott said.
"Are you nuts? Jubilee loves that C.D, and besides who here listens to Linkin Park? Nobody but Jubes and Bobby right?" Logan said.
"Yeah so?" Scott said.
"So if only Bobby listens to the c.d., then Jubilee will automatically think that Bobby broke it. Then he'll deny it, because he didn't really break it. And once Jubes realizes that Bobby isn't going to buy her another c.d., then she'll come crying to me. That's when I'll get pissed off, and chase Bobby around until I beat him into a bloody pulp." Logan said.
"Whoa mon amie. I don't need the boy beaten, just frightened. Anyway that's a good plan. When do you want to start?" Remy said.
"The sooner the better Cajun." Logan said.
"Let's get started then. We have a proposal to stop." Remy said.
Everyone left the table with the exception of Logan and Remy.
"So does she really love him, or do you have a hidden agenda here?" Logan said
"No hidden agenda mon amie. I just want to see the petite happy. She deserves that much at least."
"Yeah I guess you're right."
"So you're going to do this for me then?"
"Let's get one thing straight Cajun, I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for Storm."
Later:
"Wolvieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee."
"What? What is it?"
"Bobby broke my c.d.!"
"So you'll buy another one."
"Wolvie come on. I don't have that kind of money."
"I'll talk to him later."
"No go talk to him now."
"Jubes will ya stop it?"
"Wolvieeeee."
"Jubes!"
"This is so not fair. If it was Kitty, then you'd go out there right now and set him straight."
"Jubilee I'm trying to watch T.V."
"Have I ever let you down once?"
"Jubes."
"What about the time when you were on the crucifix?"
"Jubilee." Logan warned.
"What about all those times I fought alongside of you?"
"Jubilation Lee will you stop it?"
"Not until you make Bobby give me fifteen bucks, for a new C.D."
"ALRIGHT!"
"Wolvie why are you still sitting?"
"URGGH! BOBBY DRAKE GET YOUR BUTT DOWN HERE NOW!"
"Now that's what I'm talking about."
