Chapter 11: Of Fashion Wars

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The Xavier students rode with Jean back to the mansion, including Rogue. On the drive from school, the girls started talking about the different fashions around the world.

"Ah am telling ya, Jean, that is the worst combination ever invented." Rogue walked into the mansion with Jean on her heels followed by Kurt, Kitty, Amara, and Tabitha.

"You're not exactly the person to give fashion tips." Jean walked past Rogue as she froze in the center of the foyer.

"The only reason you like that combination is because it comes from Paris." Rogue argued back.

"Honestly, Rogue just because you don't have any fashion sense is no reason to get so upset." Jean chastised Rogue in a condescending tone.

"What do ya mean, I ain't got no fashion sense?"

"Well look at what you wear, black has not been in for years." Jean smirked at Rogue.

"Well, Ah happen to like the colors black and green. There is nothing wrong with matching those colors." Rogue defended her style.

"Oh, yes there is when it makes you look like a rotted pumpkin."

"A WHAT!"

"I'm just telling you the truth, if you want some help. I'll be more than happy to give you some fashion advice." Jean sneered.

"Yeah right. Ah'll never take any fashion advice from you, Jean. Ya'll probably have me dressed in pink from head to toe."

"Actually, pink would make you look awful, Rogue." Rogue growled in frustration.

"Ya have problems when ya buy a warehouse full of clothes each week." Rogue smirked, satisfied that she made Jean wince at the sore reminder that she had an impulse control problem when it came to shopping.

"I don't have nearly as many problems as you do, Rogue." Jean started treading on dangerous ground as she picked on Rogue's power.

"Ah am tryin' ta be nice. Ah don't think Professor Xavier would like it if Ah had ta save yer life for a third time." Jean stood shocked as Scott and some of the other students walked in through the main hall.

"You have not saved me, Rogue."

"Oh yes Ah did. First when Blob kidnapped ya, Second when ya lost control of yer powers and Third right now if ya don't back off." Rogue walked around Jean as she counted off the number of times that Rogue's saved Jean on her right hand. Rogue stood with her back facing the front door as Kurt and Kitty stood back from the two angered mutant teenage girls.

"Well at least, I have control of my powers and I'm not a danger to others." The group gasped as Jean waited for her words to twist and sting Rogue in the one place she hated.

"Yea, we all can't be perfect like ya are Jean." Rogue shrugged the sore insult off as she too stung Jean.

"Who said I was perfect?" Jean looked aghast.

"Oh please, ya know modesty don't become ya, Jean. 'Oh look at me, Ah'm Jean and Ah'm so perfect with mah perfect grades and mah control over my powers and mah flawless complexion.'" Rogue imitated Jean's voice with matching actions.

"I do not sound like that." Jean was highly offended.

"Oh yes you do, especially when ya brag about winning an award."

First of all, I do NOT brag about winning an award and second of all, at least I win my awards without anyone helping me." Jean glared at Rogue.

"Are ya saying that Ah can't do anything by myself?" Rogue glared.

"Yes, I guess I am. You couldn't even beat me if you wanted to." Jean challenged Rogue who balled her hands into fists.

"Any day ya want ta fight, Jean, ah could beat ya." Rogue put her fists up and stood ready for a fight as Jean was more than happy to accommodate.

"Any day, huh? How about right here and right now?" Jean used her telekinesis to throw Rogue back toward the door as she turned her head at Scott's cry.

"JEAN!" Scott's cry distracted Jean so she didn't see Rogue grab Kurt's flicking tail with her bare right hand.

"Kurt!" Kitty cried as Kurt lay passed out on the floor. Jean looked at her feet and saw Rogue's glove on the floor.

"Up here." Rogue teleported above Jean and reached down to touch Jean with her bare hand. Jean threw Rogue a few feet as she struggled to stay conscious.

"What's yer real problem, Jean? Is it because Ah can use yer powers or is it because Ah can use them better than ya can?" Rogue threw Jean above her head toward the front doors when Rogue ported to Jean and she ported them both to the front yard outside. Kitty ran through one of the mansion's walls to go find help.

Jean regained her balance and floated above the ground, looking up she was horrified that Rogue hovered in the same stance as her.

"Who would want your powers? You're nothing but a vampire." Jean shouted as she threw a nearby stone at Rogue with her telekinesis. Rogue easily dodged it and threw a bush she uprooted at Jean who also dodged.

"Ya are going ta pay for that Jean." Rogue gathered up a mass of stones and threw them at Jean. She deflected them with her psychic shield but the strain showed as she lost altitude floating lower to the ground.

Jean looked up to Rogue who was still floating over six feet above the ground and she became enraged. Jean called up benches and rocks hurling them toward Rogue. Rogue blocked them with her psychic shield and ported out of the mass to hover above Jean. Jean was about to retaliate when she found she couldn't move her arms. Rogue came to the same realization a moment later.

"Jean, let go of me!"

"What? You let go of me, Rogue!" Rogue looked around and saw Professor Xavier with his hand to his head concentrating very hard on keeping the girls restrained. Logan was standing with his arms crossed over his chest glaring at the two girls, but mostly at Rogue. Rogue glanced beyond Logan and Professor Xavier to see Kitty walking with Kurt leaning on her for support. Rogue could also see Kurt was still groggy from her touch.

The both of you will stop this right now! The anger in the telepathic message surprised both girls since they never heard Professor Xavier raise his voice, telepathic or otherwise, at anyone.

Jean and Rogue found themselves looking at the professor across his desk in his office with Logan and Storm on either side. All three of them were disappointed in the girls' actions earlier that afternoon.

"So, who wants to tell me what happened?" Xavier quietly asked as the response came from both girls at one time. Their chatter each drowned out the other and made nothing but noise.

"ENOUGH!" Logan yelled as he stepped toward the girls, immediately shutting them up. "Charles, haven't you learned that you have to ask them to explain it one at a time." Logan sighed as he looked at the Professor.

"Yeah, so go ahead Rogue, since we all know that you're his favorite." Jean's snide remark shocked the professor.

"What, Ah am not his favorite. If anyone is a favorite it's you, Jean." Rogue snapped back before they were both interrupted.

"Forget this, I'll just read your minds. So replay the fight in your minds and that will tell me everything." Xavier explained as he closed his eyes for several minutes before opening them again.

"All of this started over shoes?" Xavier looked at the both of them very puzzled that they would argue over something so trivial.

Both girls glared at one another as they started to face one another before Storm intercepted them.

"Don't start fighting again." Storm blocked both girls from one another.

"It would seem that the two of you have very different, very strong opinions that clash with each other. I believe that a joint venture is in order. Or an adventure, as the case may be." Xavier suggested, as he smiled at his small joke, causing Jean and Rogue to mirror horrified expressions.

"What do you suggest, Charles?" Storm asked as she held the two girls in place.

"The both of you will go camping alone in a national park. You will be given limited supplies and your survival packs will be split so that the two of you will have to work together to get through the week." Xavier finished describing the mission

"That's a very good idea, Charles. The two of you will learn to work together in survival training with no exceptions." Logan demanded as the girls still remained silent. Rogue was the first to regain her voice.

"Professor, Ah can't be gone for an entire week. Ah have classes and homework to do and Ah can't get behind, mah teachers would never let me make it up." Rogue explained to Professor Xavier.

"I will explain everything to your teachers and I will get permission from Principal Kelly. Everything will be fine, Rogue. We can use this as a chance for you to bring up your Biology grade. From what I understand, you have been falling slightly behind." Rogue snapped her mouth shut as she sighed accepting her fate.

"But, Professor, it's not fair." Jean tried to argue before Xavier silenced her.

"Jean, must I remind you that you were the first to attack and to be honest I am very disappointed. I thought I taught you better than to use your powers in a petty argument." Xavier shook his head as he wheeled out of his office followed by Logan and Storm leaving the girls to glare at one another.

The forced camping trip (aka survival training) for both girls started two days after the fight when the girls were dropped off by Beast in a dense area of woods in Adirondack Park, still in the state of New York. They looked up watching the X-Jet retreat in the sky leaving Rogue and Jean on the ground with their tents and survival packs, they stared at one another as the dense forest heard two angry female cries.

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!!!!"

A/N: I like this version better and it's more light hearted than my first version. Don't forget to tell me what you think. Please read and review.

I changed this chapter because I promised myself I would not bring politics into any of my stories. I'll be more careful from now on and make sure no evil politics sneak in again.
