{Aisyy: Hola girlie. Took three DAMN months but it's up.}
After freaking out on Rogue, probably ruining every chance he ever had of being with Rogue -Or even being friends with Rogue- Gambit went looking for Bobby. He knew where he would be after an episode like that, and he knew how easy it would for him to make it look like Bobby never existed. Yet at the same time.. New he'd be criminal suspect number one. Not to mention a convicted criminal because Jean could just see inside his head and know the truth. But he had to do something.
Bobby was in his room. Gambit knew that, knew that was where Jean had told him to go. So, that's where Gambit was going. Up the stairs and to the left, third door on the right, next to Kurt's room. Gambit jumped up the stairs two at a time, took long strides down the hallway, knocked on Bobby's door, and waited.
"Why is he not answering? He's suppose to be in here. Maybe I'm just being impat - "
The door opened. The door opened and Bobby was standing there looking like he'd just been dumped. What was with this guy? Was he honestly going to look like that while no one knew he broke up with her?
"What do you want Remy? I'm busy."
"The hell you are. Do you have any idea what you just gave up?
Gambit was furious, and getting even more so every passing second.
"She's not the one for me. I'm not in love with her."
"So you felt the need to break up with her the day after you two have a fight? Do you have any idea what you've done?"
"Why do you care?" Bobby was getting angry now. What right did this guy have?
"I care because I'm her friend."
"My ass you are. You're in love with her, and you're too chicken shit to say anything."

Kurt and Kitty were outside walking around the courtyard. There wasn't much they could do that day, being it was Saturday and everyone who could leave had already left for the mall, but Kurt had an idea to bring the afternoon alive.
"Y'know Kitty.. I've been thinking.. About you and me."
Kurt had been hounding Kitty about going out with him for three weeks now, and each time Kitty had denied him.
"There is no you and me Kurt. I've explained that to you. We're just friends."
"I know.. But - "
Kurt's thoughts on the matter were cut off as Bobby came flying through the window above them. Shards of glass rained down on Kitty and Kurt, sticking in the ground, but Kitty had grabbed a hold of Kurt so the shards passed right through them.
Kurt wiggled out of her arms at the last second before Bobby hit the ground and grabbed him, teleporting him into the house and onto a couch.
Gambit looked out the broken window and threw himself from it, landing on the ground with a thud.
"Are you okay Kitty?" He asked, looking around at the shards.
"What the fuck were you doing Gambit! You threw Bobby from the window!"
"He pissed me off. Where did Kurt take him?"
"In the living room, but - "
"Thanks."
Gambit took off for the living room to finish what he'd started. Kitty followed behind quickly, trying to deter him from the room.
"Hey, shit head, get up and fight me."
"What the hell man! You threw me out a god damn window!"
"Who threw you out a window?"
Storm came marching into the room, scanning it for the culprit of the broken window she'd just found.
"Gambit did!" Bobby yelled, pointing at him.
"Remy, come with me."
Gambit turned to Storm, giving her an angry look. A look that said he wanted her to but out and let him finish what he came here to do, but her own icy look made him flip Bobby off and walk with her. They walked to Xaivier's office, where she sat him down and started a long talk with him. One that would most likely end in suspension.

"C'mon.. What're you hesitating for?"
"You know damn well why I hesitate."
"Well of course I do. I am you."
Pyro stood outside the doors of the school, waiting for his own brain to give him a good reason for coming back here and begging to be let back in. Why was it he wanted to do this? Why was it he wanted to become one of the good guys again? Oh yeah, the thought of certain death.
It had been hours since Gambit had thrown Bobby out the window upstairs and had gotten dark outside. The mood made Pyro's face look dark and evil, not like he felt. He felt dirty and greasy, like he hadn't showered in days, which he hadn't.. He'd been travelling for the past week looking for a way back to the school.
And yet in all that time he hadn't come up with a solid reason for Xaivier take him back.
"No better time than now I guess.."
"Sure there is. Why wouldn't there be? Go back to Magneto."
His mind had split in three while he'd been with Magneto. The good side, the bad side, and the side that was currently in charge of his body.
Pyro felt himself backing away from the school, turning slowly and heading for the gate, when he heard a voice behind him.
"John?"
It was a female voice, and it made Pyro jump, spin around, and flick his lighter so a flame appeared in his palm. But he stopped when he recognised the long brown hair, and the slim figure standing before him.
"Kitty.."
He muttered under his breath, smiling to himself at the fact that she was the one who found him.
"Kitty, it's nice to see - "
Kitty cut him off with a curt:
"John."
And continued sounding sad.
"John.. What're you doing here? You're not going to try and burn the place down are you? Why don't you just leave us alone? We're leaving Magneto alone."
"No." John said, smothering his flame and looking down at his feet.
"I'm .. I'm here to ask the professor if I could.. Maybe.. Be forgiven.. And maybe stay."
Kitty looked annoyed, hurt, upset, and mainly like she was about to vomit for a few minutes as she processed what he was saying. What he was saying and what he truly meant. But she could hold the smile in for much longer, and she lunged out to wrap her arms around his neck.
"I've missed you.. I don't know about anyone else but I have. I'm not ashamed."
Pyro's arms wrapped around her waist and he smiled. "Glad to hear it."
Their moment didn't last long though. Kitty started dragging him through the school, up the stairs, and into Xaivier's office.
"Professor? Professor?"
"I am here Kitty."
Professor Xaivier rolled out of a room that connected to his office and smiled at Kitty and John.
"Hello John. Storm will be here in a minute to take you to your new room. Will you leave us Kitty? We have much to discuss."
Kitty left Xaivier and Pyro then, running through the hallways, doors, walls, everywhere she could possibly go, spreading the word that Pyro was back. When she got to Rogue's room though, she knocked and waited for an answer.
Rogue did answer, her make-up running down her face still. An act of trying to re-apply it to go outside before grief consumed her again.
"Hey Rogue.." Kitty said awkwardly, looking around.
"What?" Was Rogue's answer, sniffling a little as she asked.
"Well, I just thought I'd let you know, since I'm telling everyone... Pyro is back.. He's talking to Xaivier right now."
Rogue's face went red and she glared a Kitty.
"You lie."
"No.. No I swear I saw him, I talked to him.. I hugged him. Rogue, I think he's changed."
"No he hasn't. You should tell him to go die!"
Rogue slammed her room door in Kitty's face and Kitty turned away. Was she the only one happy that Pyro had returned?
