We're Back!

Rogue blinked open her eyes. For once the sunlight wasn't shining in the room. The curtains were closed so the room seemed tinted red. Rogue rolled over and saw Jubilee stirring in her bed in the middle of the room.

Jubilee rolled over and opened one eye. "Good morning Rogue." She mumbled. Suddenly her other eye popped open. "Rogue! You're back!"

Rogue gave a small giggle and covered her mouth with a hand as she yawned. "Yah." She whispered. She cuddled into her blankets.

Jubilee was sitting up. "You tired? When'd you get back?" She asked as she stood up, her bright yellow pyjamas looking orange against the curtains.

Rogue stifled another yawn. "I'm exhausted. I only got back at two in the morning." She murmured, relishing the heat her blankets gave off.

Jubilee drew back the curtains, exposing sunlight. "Really? I never heard you come in." She said, shocked.

Rogue squeezed her eyes shut to block out sunlight and the brightness of Jubilation's pyjama's. "Of course you didn't hear me. I was quieter then your snoring." She slowly opened her eyes, so they could adjust to the light.

Kitty mumbled something. It was impossible to make out what she was saying, but she sounded fairly pissed off.

Jubilee giggled and winked at Rogue. "What's that chica? Speak up."

Kitty sat up in her bed, light pink pyjamas matching her angry pink face. "I said: Close the god damn curtains, Jubilation Lee, or I will phase you halfway through the wall and leave you there till you die!" She snapped, not noticing Rogue.

Jubilee giggled and looked at Rogue. Rogue was grinning, still too tired to actually laugh. Kitty followed Jubilee's gaze and she gasped. "Rogue! You're, like, home!"

Rogue was about to respond when Kitty phased through her blankets and ran across the room, wrapping Rogue in a bear hug. "Rogue! I, like, totally, missed you!" She half shrieked, half said.

Rogue laughed. "What? I was only gone for, like a week!" She told them, eyes sparklingly with amusement.

Kitty pulled out of the hug and walked across the room, pulling clothes out of her dresser. "True. But we, like, still missed you." She said as she dragged out a pair of Capri's.

Rogue flopped onto her bed breathing out loudly. Kitty looked up, from pulling on her t-shirt. "You, like, tired or something?" She asked as she let the t-shirt drop and it fell below her waist.

Jubilee giggled and answered for Rogue as she tugged on a black sock. "She didn't get in until two. Apparently we didn't hear her because we were snoring so loudly." She giggled again, except Kitty was giggling too.

Rogue sat up and pulled the covers back. "Right. Anyways..." She glared at her friends. "Out of the room." They both groaned but left immediately after waving and saying "See you later."

Rogue stood up and grabbed some clothes before walking into the bathroom, ready for a nice, long shower.

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

Rogue walked in the kitchen, her wet hair pulled back into a ponytail. Rogue pushed the kitchen door open with her hip as she tugged on a glove she had gotten from her home.

"Hey, hey, hey! Look who's home!" Rogue looked up to see Peter and Warren sitting at the table, grinning at Rogue.

Rogue smiled back and gave a small wave. "Hey guys! What's up?" She asked curiously opening the fridge.

"Not much." Peter told her, his Russian accent thickening a bit as he tried to contain his laughter. "Except the fact that Mr. Summers is pretty mad you took off without telling him."

Warren gave Rogue a knowing look. "You know what that means..." He trailed off, his dark blue eyes shining.

Rogue wagged a finger. "No. Not for me. I had permission from the Professor." She pointed out. "It just means everyone else has extra danger room." She laughed.

The door swished open again and the large Henry walked in. He was looking at Rogue, grinning, but stern at the same time. "You might have had permission to go to Mississippi, Miss Rogue, but you didn't, however, have permission to take my image inducer."

Rogue tried to pass her gasp off as a look of pure amusement. "Right. I was meaning to talk to you about that..." She tapped a finger on her chin a few times before picking her glass of juice off the counter and walking around Hank. "Well, see you!" She gave a lazy wave over her shoulder and walked out of the kitchen.

She smirked as she walked down the hallway. She went to turn into the family room, when she bumped into Tabitha.

Tabitha at first looked ready to yell her head off, but when she saw Rogue, she opted for quickly embracing Rogue and giving her a look of mock anger. "How dare you go on a road trip and not invite me?" She asked, mock hurt.

Rogue laughed, she would admit Tabitha's acting was pretty good. "Sorry Tabs, but this wasn't for fun. This was to get answers from my moth-" Rogue cut herself off. "From my friend." She finished.

Tabitha waved her hand a few times as though dismissing the excuse. "Still. I can't believe you didn't even tell us. Me and Julia were thinking of following Mr. Lebeau with Lance, but we really didn't have a clue where you were going so we just stuck around." Then she smiled cheekily. "Good thing too. You guys all got extra danger room. Especially Mr. Lebeau for taking off in Mr. Summer's new convertible."

Rogue laughed. "See? At least me and Kurt aren't that stupid."

Tabitha rolled her eyes and them muttered to Rogue. "Yes you are. You are stupidly in love with a Cajun." She laughed.

Rogue brushed the comment aside, not really paying attention to the full meaning of the words. "Is stupidly even a word?" She asked, meaning to defy Tabitha and make her seem like the stupid one. Rogue's brain suddenly clicked and Rogue glared at Tabitha. "What the Hell do you mean I'm in love with the Cajun!" She tried her best not to shriek, not knowing if anybody was around.

By now Tabitha was dancing around, ignoring Rogue completely. "Rogue is in love! And with the Cajun to boot!" She laughed, swinging her hands and hips around to imaginary music.

Rogue glared menacingly at her friend. "I never said I was in love!" She snapped in her friend's ear.

Tabitha looked at Rogue and winked. "I said you were in love with a Cajun. You went specific. Come on, honey, you just got to look for the signs."

Tabitha suddenly stopped dancing and began running down the hallway. She turned around so she was jogging backwards. "I'd love to stay and chat, but you're probably about to go on a killing spree, so I'm going to leave." Then she smirked. "Besides. You don't want to keep your boyfriend waiting!"

A moment later Tabitha was gone. Rogue took a step in her direction, then changed her mind partway through her step. She walked into the family room. Kitty and Jubilee were sitting on the couch, whispering and gossiping about who knows what.

Rogue was faintly interested but didn't let it show. Suddenly Jubilee piped up. "Rogue? You have a boyfriend?" She asked, sounding happy and curious.

Rogue smacked her head with a hand. The sound was loud and it echoed through the room. "No." She muttered. "That was Tabitha talking. You all know she's crazy. She's crazy!" She yelled looking up at her friends.

Kitty looked at Jubilee, eyes as big as golf balls. "I, like, bet it's Gambit." She whispered loudly to Jubilee.

Rogue's eyes went enormous. "No!" She sounded disbelieving.

Jubilee wagged her eyebrows. "Oh! I bet it's Alex."

Rogue shook her head violently. "Guys, I don't have a boyfriend." She reminded them.

Kitty looked in thought. "Well it's not, like, Mr. Wagner, considering he's, like, your brother. And Logan would just, like, be wrong on many levels." She sounded disgusted and Jubilee made a faint gagging noise.

Rogue rolled her eyes. They were on a roll. It would impossible to stop them.

"Maybe it's Lance." Rogue rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Or maybe it's Sam. But he's younger then us, so maybe not."

Rogue couldn't help but add. "But he acts more mature then half the guys older then him." She laughed.

Matt walked by the family room. "Hey guys! What's up?" His eyes strayed to Rogue. "Hey Rogue! You're back!"

Rogue felt her cheeks turn red. "Hi Matt!"

He was smiling. "When did you get back?" He asked curiously, hands in the pockets of his jeans.

Rogue shrugged. "Late last night."

Matt nodded once in understanding. "Well, I have to go. I have a damn danger room session." He grinned and waved his hand in farewell, his medium length blond hair brushing into his face.

When he was gone and the door hade closed shut, Kitty jumped out of her seat. "Oh my God! It's like, totally Matt!"

Rogue shook her head. Jubilee made an exasperated noise. "Oh, come on Rogue! It has to be! Your face was so red when he walked in here!" She laughed at Rogue's look of distress. "Besides, he was blushing too. And everyone knows he has a crush on you. A bad one!" She added.

Rogue rolled her eyes. "You wouldn't believe how wrong you guys are."

Kitty sighed and slapped her knees. "Well, I like give up. Who's your like boyfriend?" She asked.

Rogue sighed. "Listening carefully? I'm only going to say this once." She leaned in like it was a huge secret. Naturally Jubilee and Kitty leaned in too. Rogue's face turned bitter. "I don't have one!" She yelled.


A/N: Okay, I'm going to tell you all (again), this is a Romy. That's what I've planned it to be ever since I brought Remy in, so please stop going on about it. If you want different pairings of stories, I'm currently working on a Rogan called 'Waiting For You'. So that's that. I'm sorry if some of you guys are irritated by this. Anyways, bye for now!
