Flashback:
"Hey Rogue," Bobby said, walking up to Rogue.
"Oh, hey Bobby," She said back to him, not bothering to stop her steps as Bobby caught up to her.
"Um, I was wondering, well, Friday, the Professor said we are allowed to go off campus and I was wondering if you wanted to—"
"I'd love to Bobby, what time and where?"
"Really? Oh, um around 7 and to ice cream…you really want to go?" Bobby sounded surprised that Rogue agreed so quickly to a date.
"Yeah, I do, plus, I've become to favor ice cream lately, I'll see you later then." Rogue said, speeding up her steps as she walked in front on him.
"Ok, see you later." Bobby called after Rogue as she walked away.

It was Saturday and the newest gossip floating around the school was al about how ladies man Bobby Drake took the girl with the deadly skin out for a date. The girls were wondering how such a hot guy could give himself away to a girl who couldn't touch and the guys were talking about what Bobby had to do to touch her without being put in a coma. Friday night, the students were allowed to go off campus until 9:30 at night, no later. Bobby decided to take advantage of the situation and took Rogue out for ice cream, their first date. Now, it was bussing that the two were a couple, all because of one date.
Most students were happy for the two. Bobby finally finding someone who could hold him down to Earth, and Rogue finding someone who didn't care that her skin was deadly. Everyone felt this way except one person.
John Allerdyce.
He was best friends with both students and it was somewhat known that he also had a crush on Rogue, but whenever someone asked, he always said that he wouldn't waste his time on someone who he couldn't get in their pants.
Now, on the Saturday after the notorious date, John, Bobby, and Rogue sat in the Recreation Room watching T.V. Bobby had his arm comfortably around Rogue, though careful not to touch her skin and John sat on a seat across from them, trying not to seem affected by jealousy. Slowly, Bobby began to lean into Rogue and his hand traveled up and down her arm.
"Dude, I prefer not to have to watch you feel your girlfriend up." John said, annoyingly as always. Rogue glared at him but Bobby laughed a bit, knowing John was jealous.
"Just cause I'm with Rogue and you're not doesn't mean you have to spoil it for us John. Don't you care for the happiness of others?" Bobby replied back and asked jokingly.
"Hmm…let me think, I did," John looked directly at Rogue and she blushed a bit, "But there is no point in trying for that helpless cause anymore."
"Whatever man, you're just jealous."
"Yeah, you wish I was jealous of you Drake."
"Um, Bobby, I think I'm gonna go get something to eat." Rogue said, trying to break the tension between the two boys.
"I'll go get it Rogue, what do you want?" Bobby said, unwrapping his arm from his girlfriend.
"No, its ok, I can get it myself." Rogue said as she stood up before Bobby did and headed towards the door.
"You sure?" Bobby said, calling after her.
"Yeah, I'm sure." Rogue said, turning around and shooting a look at John that told him she wanted to talk to him. Turning back around, Rogue headed out the door and in the direction of the kitchen.
A few minutes passed and the two boys had sat in silence, an odd and rare occasion. Then John spoke up.
"Yo Drake, did you get that lighter fluid I asked for last night, or were you to busy feeling up Rogue." John said in his normal cocky and arrogant tone of voice.
"Yeah, if you looked it on the dresser, why couldn't you got out and get it anyways? Everyone was allowed out." Bobby replied.
"Detention, plus, it's better when other people do things for me."
"Whatever man." Bobby said as John got up and headed out of the room. "Where are you going?" Bobby asked him.
"To refill my lighter, it's almost empty." John replied as he headed out of the room and headed in the direction of the kitchen, which was the total opposite direction of their dorm. But oblivious Bobby didn't notice, and John kept walking until he reached the doorway to the kitchen and saw Rogue sitting at the island.
"What did you want, gloat in my face bout how Bobby has you and I don't?" John asked as he headed into the kitchen looking directly as Rogue.
"John, it's not like that, plus why would you care, you never liked me." Rogue replied back to him. Suddenly, a gust of wind from the open window flew in and shut the door to the kitchen, closing off the two from everyone else in the mansion.
