The next morning was uneventful. She worked off her snack in the Danger Room session and couldn't help feeling that Logan somehow knew she had eaten those cookies. Still, she didn't complain and went through the session.
It wasn't until mid afternoon that something of interest happened. Xavier had called down the inhabitants of the mansion to welcome their newest member to the team. They all scurried to the entrance, eager to meet the new member. Rogue, of course, lagged behind. She had a reputation to up hold. Once they were all settled, Xavier gestured for the new member to come out. There were gasps and mutterings but there was one clear opinion of the new member.
"YOU!" Rogue screeched, jumping to her feet and pointing at the new member. "You-you-you – COOKIE STEALER!"
"Bonjour to you, too, chere," Gambit said, grinning. This might not have been the reaction he'd been expecting but it pleased him nonetheless.
"Professor, you can't allow him into this house or on the team!" Rogue continued screeching. Everyone gave her bewildered looks. "HE STOLE MY COOKIES!"
"Chere, wait! Before you attack anybody," Gambit said, rummaging in his trench coat pockets. She glowered at him. "I brought you a peace offering."
She crossed her arms angrily, refusing to admit her curiosity. He let out a triumphant 'aha!' and held something out to her. Rogue's eyes widened.
"All yours, chere. I won't take any."
Rogue eyed them suspiciously.
"I bought them, chere. I promise," he laughed. There was a collective hush as Rogue had an internal battle with herself. Finally she launched off the stairs and snatched the peace offering out of his hands and clutched it to her chest.
"Don't steal my cookies, Swamp Rat."
He laughed and patted her on the head. "Of course not, Roguey. I bought a box of Chewy Chocolate Chip Chips Ahoy cookies for me. We can share the milk."
Rogue paid him no mind, happily tearing open the crinkling wrapping to extract a deliciously scrumptious Chips Ahoy chewy chocolate chip cookie.
