Julien was on the back porch playing solitaire. He had been trying to avoid Virginia since he caused the disturbance with Jean last week.
"Where ta put it, where ta…" said Julien thinking out loud. He put the card on another card, "Julien, ya are ta goo'd at tis game."
Julien put another card down and looked up, "Hello?"
Rogue was standing up next to him looking at him curiously.
"Wha are ya doin?" asked Rogue, "shouldn't ya be cleaning something?"
"Already did, Mon Ami," said Julien looking back down at his card game, "an ya?"
"Done," said Rogue calmly, "...This is gonna sound odd, but you seem so familiar."
"Yea?" said Julien not paying much attention to her.
"Yea, and you just remind me of him a lot," Rogue said.
"Ha nice," Julien responded.
"Ya wouldn't know 'em , but ah bet ya'd get along well," said Rogue trying hard to making conversation.
"Yea," said Julien smiling and he thought, "I could guess why."
"So, um...seriously, how come mah powers don't work on ya?" Rogue asked getting to her main question.
"Ya knaw, les call it ta mutant's gift," replied Julien.
"A useful one," said Rogue as she walked over towards Julien.
"Well, Ah guess," said Julien.
"If only Ah could actually touch someone, besides ya," said Rogue, "na offense. Ya know wha Ah mean though bout me touchin others, they…"
"Yea," said Julien as he thought to himself, "Na fa long though."
"Tis is great ah guess, " Julien thought, "and Virginia said ah might of changed ta future..."
Rogue leaned over towards Julien. Julien looked at her and pushed her away off of him in disgust.
"Wha ya doin?" asked Julien humiliated.
"Ah thought, ya know since I couldn't actually touch anyone else, Ah'd might as well, ya know…"
"Na, na way," said Julien awkwardly removing the mental picture from his mind, "neva, ya should, um...keep up ta hope. Ya neva knaw, ya just might get control, sa ya should wait."
"Ah, Ah'm sorry, Ah…" started Rogue embarrassed, "it was just...Ah thought Ah could be normal if ah… if we…."
"Got'cha, ba ah…, ah gotta go," said Julien as he walked off, "Tis isn't goo'd."
"Ah'm sorry, Ah really don't know what came ova mah," called Rogue uncomfortably.
As Julien walked inside, he thought, "Goo'd going, Julien. Look wha mess Ah got into tis time."
Julien ran into Nick who was coming out the door as Julien was going in.
"What's wrong?" Nick asked.
"Ah gotta probl'm." said Julien his face red.
"What happened?" Nick asked.
"Mah ma jus tried to kiss me," Julien said mortified and mentally scarred.
Nick looked out the door and saw Rogue standing on the porch, embarrassed. Nick stood back in the mansion and started to laugh uncontrollably.
"You've got no right to like tell me anything, when I hit on an X-men, cause you just like almost hooked up with your own mother," laughed Nick almost peeing his pants.
"Sha up," said Julien as he pushed Nick to the side.
"Where are you, like going," said Nick trying to get himself under control.
"Don't ya dare say anyting bout tis to Virginia or Ah'll hurt ya," threatened Julien who had gone from humiliated to fuming.
"I won't just like don't hook up with my mom, too," joked Nick.
Julien pushed Nick into the wall and walked past him leaving Nick to laugh by himself.
