Remy lay silently on his bed in the dark, his bright red eyes lighting the pages in front of him.

The book she had been reading in fact had little romance and little of the male character. He smirked as he realized she had got him again. He shut the book one page to early, as his guess was not completely incorrect after all.

Rogue slammed her pillow over her head as she tried to drown out the sound of the morning rush. She sighed before sitting up in bed and opening her eyes.

"Ah!" She yelped, jumping back and hitting her head on the headboard.

When Rogue gained conciseness she was still in her bed, and Kurt still looking at her.

"Soooo can I use your shower? Mien is blocked."

Rogue glared and he took that as a yes and ran towards her bathroom. Slamming the door. And running into the shower.

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

With only 20 minutes left until school started. Rogue was getting anxious. Kurt was still in the shower and she desperately needed one to wake her up.

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

She waited another three minutes before he came out. She swore at him for taking so long and was satisfied with her sarcasm, that was before she walked into her bathroom.

Everything was blue.

Blue.

Blue.

Blue.

And… Blue.

"GRAHHHHH! KURT!" She screamed.

Easily to say, Kurt took the nearest holiday to his foster parents.

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

Rogue had been in such a bad mood, verbally attacking anyone that crossed her path, easily to say the teachers at the institute decided not to make her go to school on the last day of the term and Logan was particularly quick to organize her shower to be fixed.

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

Rogue was going insane.

Kitty had gone home for the holidays. Logan had left for a few days, even the little brats were gone as well as Kurt.

However, when all of the people she could talk to, boss around, or even torture (In Kurt's case) had left, the one major pain in her ass stayed. Gambit. Even worse was since Logan had up and gone, he was now free to trail her around. The rest of the adults seemed to find it 'cute' and Cyclops was off on one of his little trips with his little Queen of the snobs Jean.

"Chere!" He yelled as he ran towards her, Rogue quickly ducked around the corner but the tiny bit of her boot showing gave her away.

"Chere!" He smiled. "Remy was thinkin' dat Rogue and him should do somethin' together!"

"No. Go away." She stated.

"Awww chere!" He whined.

"Aw nothing!" She growled as she made a run towards the stairs.

"Non y' don' Chere!" He chuckled as he grabbed the tie on the back of her jeans dragging her back towards him.

"Swamp Rat let meh go!" She ordered struggling against him.

He refused to let go and found it humorous when the tie snapped off and she flew forward catching herself on the rail.

"SWAMP RAT!" She screeched as she threatened him and raised her arm to deal to him, she narrowly missed and Remy ran off towards the door to outside.

Rogue growled as she jumped over the couch in the lounge and towards the doors also.

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

Remy was running through the woods by the forest. He laughed as he heard her coming up behind him at least 50 meters away, however his laughter ceased when his foot got caught and he was flipped upside down in the air.

"God damn it! Even when de man is away he still gets Remy!" He complained under his breath.

"Well… Swamp Rat, I see you can mess your self up without my help." She laughed as she head back towards the mansion ignoring his pleads for help.

Once Rogue was out of earshot he let out a low laugh.

"Fine Chere." He laughed as he leaned forward to his feet untying the rope himself.

He dusted his jeans off before running through the shortcut to the mansion.

Rogue was rather please with herself. She smiled proudly as she reached for her door handle, walking in she went to lift her top before screeching and pulling it back down hastily.

"YOU! How? Swamp Rat!" She yelped.

"Awww Chere! Remy would have enjoyed dat show!" He pouted.

"How? No… don't worry! Just get out!" She yelled, loosing her temper and confusing herself.

"Remy be tricky, and non, Remy be quite comfortable here." He stated putting emphasize on it by wriggling around to get even more comfortable and placing his hands under his head.

"Yah know wha? Stuff it! Ah don't care! Ah'm going out!" She threw her hands up in defeat and grabbed her bag.

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

She got down to the kitchen before she heard footsteps behind her.

"SWAMP RAT!" She yelled, thoroughly annoyed.

"Chere, come back to bed." He teased.

A child passing by did a sudden 180 and headed back towards where he came from.

"Grr! PISS OFF! I thought you were 'comfortable'!"

"Awww but Chere' widout y' Remys nothin'!" He moaned trailing close behind her.

Rogue growled but didn't answer.

"So Chere where we goin'?" He teased.

"Me, myself and I are going shopping since a certain RAT broke my jeans!" She complained.

"Aww Remy come and help Chere get changed!" He ranted excitedly.

"NO WAY!" She yelled as she headed out the door Remy close behind.

"Aww well, at least let Remy help y' choose!" He pleaded.

"No!"

"Please?"

After around 10 minutes of this Rogue found she had reached the shopping mall.

"Fahne!" She gave up unwillingly as she sped up in an attempt to stay as far away from him as they entered the shopping mall.
