DC: I don't own the x-men. I know I'm not happy about it either but hey that's life.

Chapter 1: Why I hate her.

Rouge was sick of putting up with Jean. It wasn't as though she hated Jean. She was really nice, but wasn't overbearing, like kitty. She actually liked having her as someone to talk to. Jean never pressed friendship on Rouge like most of the other x-men. That was probably because she didn't like it when other people did it to her when she first came. The only thing she hated about Jean was that she had Scott Summers as a boyfriend.

She told Kitty that it didn't bother her. She was happy for him, or so she thought. She never forgot the night she found out. Everyone was supposed to go to the dance on the last day of school. Some were even leaving with their parents. Jean was one of those students. Scott didn't want to go to the dance because of Duncan. Jean really wanted him to go anyway. He wouldn't so she backed off. Rouge didn't go because she didn't do so well in crowds and didn't want to hurt anybody. Hank was working in the lab. Storm and Logan were chaperoning, and professor Xavier was visiting a friend on Muir Island. It was supposed to be a quiet night just her and Scott. At least, that's the way things were supposed to go.

It was raining hard, but not hard enough to cancel the dance. The cable was out. Rouge and Scott decided to watch a couple of movies and pig out on popcorn and have a good time. For the first movie Rouge picked "the Ring." That way she could grab onto Scott's arm during the "scary" parts. The DVD menu just came up when there was a knock on the door.

"I'll get it," Scott said and walked into the hallway. He turned on the light cautiously and had his free hand on his other visor. When he opened the door it was the last person he expected to see.

"Hey easy there slim," Jean said smiling. He couldn't believe it and yet there she was. Her red hair soaked to the back of her hair all the way down to her hips. The green material of her strapless dress was sticking to her skin showing off every curve to her body. She grabbed his wrist and brought it down from his glasses.

"Sorry Jean," he apologized. "It's a habit."

"That's what I love about you Scott," she said. "You're always there for me. You protect me, help me, listen to me, and hold me when I'm scared. You calm me when I'm in an unreachable state of anger. Without you I may still be running from the monster that is my mother."

"Jean I wouldn't have it any other way," he said smiling at her.

"I know you don't, but I do," she said.

"Like what?" he asked her a little confused. (Cause lets face it even though I love Scott he's one of my favorites. He's just not that smart. Either that or he just thinks that this isn't happening. Take your pick)

"Like this," she said. Her lips met with his and her arms found their way around her neck; while his found their way to her lower back and were pulling her closer. They weren't alone. Rouge had come in to get some popcorn and got the surprise of her life. She ran straight to her room before she was even noticed.

Rouge was back to reality. She knew it would happen eventually. She hoped that, she would have gotten her chance with him before it would happen unfortunately that wasn't the case. Scott was with Jean now. Remy was okay but she wasn't entirely sure that she was over Scott or not. Remy was a flirt too. She just didn't want to get in a relationship with someone like that. Her heart was broken before and didn't want it to happen again. She was just glad that she was getting a vacation in Rome. No students. No responsibilities and no powers. It was going to be perfect.

They were just coming near the halfway mark. She glanced over at Scott and Jean. Jean was asleep and her head was resting on Scott's shoulder. His arm was around her. She glared at them before. She went back to sleep.

Well that's it y'all. I know it was a lot of jott. But I promise that their will be a romy and scrouge chapter just as long as someone out there knows the name of the famous well in Rome where people go to make all those wishes. You know the one in the Lizzie McGuire movie. I don't own it so I can't check. So if someone could tell me I'll get the next chapter up sooner.
