Family Ties
Lady Starlight so kiss my ass
Chapter Thirty Three – Exams and Unwanted Visitors.
Jamie pouted as he watched the others run around cluelessly. He really hated exam month. And he wasn't even taking any! No one had time for him because they were all studying! Even John believe it or not.
Which most did not.
Jamie wandered into the kitchen and slumped down with a sigh. Life was boring.
Which was strange because he lived in a house full of Teen Mutants.
All of who are too hyper for their own good.
Ororo smiled at the boy. "Is something the matter Jamie? You're not having second thoughts about New Orleans are you?" Jamie's head shot up and he looked utterly stunned.
No way in hell.
"Nononono! I can't wait till N'Awleans Ororo." Jamie sighed again and shook his head. "It's just so boring Stormy. There is no one to do anything with."
Ororo smiled and nodded in understanding. The weeks of exams were so busy that Logan had even canceled all Danger Room Sessions. "Don't you worry Jamie. Just two more days of Exams then the Graduation and you will be in New Orleans before you can blink."
Jamie smiled and nodded. He heard stomping and turned as Rogue and Wanda ran into the kitchen. "Hey Jamie, hey Stormy." They both said, running for the coffeepot. They each poured mug before running out again. Calling out good-byes.
Jamie laughed, remembering them doing the same thing when the LAST semester ended. "They are going to stay up all night studying, then barely make it to school on time tomorrow." Ororo laughed with him and the boy excused himself to go and watch TV.
He flipped through the channels and stopped on something he recognized.
"InuYasha," he muttered. The boy sat back at the Anime started. He laughed and snickered every time the half demon made a fool of himself and was 'sat' by the heroine, Kagome. When the two episodes were over Jamie turned of the TV and went to bed.

"OH FUCK!" Was heard loudly the next morning in several different languages and varying accents. From his seat at the kitchen table Jamie was once again glad that he didn't have to take exams like the others. He ate his Fruit Loops as students started streaming in.
"Coffee! Now!" Rogue demanded as she walked in.
Instantly six cups were shoved in her direction. Jamie noticed his moth-friend smirk slightly before picking up one of the cups.
She'd have a heart attack if she knew what he was thinking.
Rogue was about to start on the second cup when it was yanked from her hands. "HEY!" She yelled at Wanda. "Give dat back!"
The Gothic Witch glared and guzzled the glass. "Get your own!"
"Dat was mine!"
Wanda continued to glare as she reached another cup. "Too bloody bad!" Wanda snarled. The two girls glared at each other even as Rogue reached for another cup.
Ororo let out a sigh of relief, glad that the anger management counseling she had been lecturing them about seemed to be working. Mornings were usually hard around the mansion and it was worse with most of the students worried about being late for their first exam of the day.
"You might want to hurry up children, the school bell is going to go in ten minutes." Ororo smiled to herself when all the students around her jumped up and flew out of the kitchen.
"Roro! Take Jamie to school for mah!" Rogue yelled out. "Remy lets go babe!"
They made it just in time for the first bell. They ignored the mayhem around them as they all raced for the class they were supposed to be in.
XxXxX
Rogue sighed and twirled her pencil between her fingers as she read over her test for the third time.
When in doubt pick C right?
Sticking to that theory she quickly answered the questions she hadn't known and dropped her pencil into her bag.
She had just finished her Math exam (English had been that morning) and was waiting for her legs to wake up. Tomorrow she had a Foods Practical Exam and planned to tie Kitty's hands together. Though getting Wanda to Hex her hands together would be more effective.
That meant she had a night she could actually sleep.
Rogue stretched and stood up. She nearly fell over and heard a voice in her head laughing. 'Shut it Dizzy,' She threatened.
'Ah but Rogue! It's just so funny.' Rogue sent her conscious (they had decided that was what Dizzy was) a picture of the girl with black eyes and heard the sigh. 'You are so violent you know that Rogue?'
'You're a pain in the ass.' Dizzy had been talking to Rogue all during the exam and it was very distracting. The Cajun picked up her backpack and grabbed her test to hand in.
'Hold on a second chere,' Remy said. 'Remy's just finished.'
Rogue glanced up and saw her boyfriend handing in his exam. He talked briefly with the librarian before picking up his bag.
Rogue stood by the door and smiled when her Remy sauntered up and pulled her into his arms. The librarian, Mr Arcari coughed and pointed them out the door.
"Do that else where," the old man said. Both Cajuns rolled their eyes and Rogue growled at the laughing Dizzy.
"Jus one more exam, tomorrow mornin," Rogue sighed and relaxed into Remy's arms as they walked towards Remy's bike.
"Den we have no more school," Remy agreed. It was very obvious he was thrilled. Rogue smiled and waved at some of her friends as they zoomed out of the school.
"In less then a week we will be back with the Guilds. Back in N'Awleans wit' les famillies." Rogue smiled against Remy's back. "Ah'm glad Jamie has no problem with what everyone does."
They had told Jamie almost two weeks ago about the Guilds. Jamie had sat there listening, he didn't interrupt even when Rogue explained about the Bourdeaux's lifestyle. When they were done he had commented, 'that makes sense with why you have that gun hidden in your coat..'
'A safety, in case anyone from N'Awleans found us.' Remy said watching the boy in wonder. Jamie stared at Rogue and Remy and nodded.
'I'm not touching a gun alright?' He said simply, shrugging. 'I don't like them.'
'You won't have to pup,' Rogue said. 'JL won't let you anyway. Ah didn't get mah first one till Ah was fifteen.'
'So no killing and stealing?' Jamie asked and both Cajuns nodded.
'Not unless you want to,' Remy said. He had to give the boy a choice even though he knew the answer just as well as Rogue did.
Jamie refused to kill anyone, accidental or not. Rogue understood that and let it be. But they would have to explain it to the Guild Leaders. Luckily they were wise in the ways of convincing parents to do things differently.
"Ohh," Rogue said when they stopped at a red light. "Think we should warn everyone dis time dat the Boys are coming over?" She felt Remy smirk.
"Non amour, where's de fun in dat?"
Rogue giggled and agreed. Rogue pushed the button for the gate and left it open for the car she knew was behind them. "Hey Dad!" She called out to Logan, who was under his bike.
"Hey darlin, yah packed yet? I'm taking you out in the morning after Graduation."
"Non pere. Jean Luc is brining the LeBeau jet, t'ought Ah told yah dat sugah?" Logan frowned but nodded in consent.
"Well, then you better make sure you are packed anyway. But leave out your uniform."
Both Rogue and Remy groaned. They had been hounded with questions since New Years and neither one of them wanted to answer said questions. After their little display Logan had made their Danger Room sessions even harder. He up'd the levels in the DR quickly and now they were only a level below Logan himself.
Luckily no other X-Men were around. There hadn't been many questions, at least that were asked. They had received strange looks and still did, months after, from the other Mutants. None of them seemed particularly inclined to believe that their brothers had taught them everything. Apparently it was a huge conspiracy.
If only they new.
Dinner was quiet and Rogue and Remy went to bed early, a week of little to no sleep had caught up with them. The next morning they were the only two awake an hour before school started.
XxXxX
"Kitty don't touch that!" Wanda shrieked. The hot oil went flying from Kitty's hands and it was only Rogues reflexes that stopped it from spilling all over their unit.
"Damnit! Both of you stop horsing around!" Rogue snarled before cursing them out fluently in French.
"Language Miss Bourdraux!" The Foods teacher, Mrs LeChance snapped. Mrs LeChance had no problem with Mutants, her son was one, but she would absolutely NOT tolerate fowl language in her classroom.
"Sorry madam," Rogue said. Rogue caught something out of the corner of her eye and blanched. Kitty might have gotten batter in the kitchen but she was still a danger.
"KitKat how bouts yah cut the apples?"
"Fine, jeez its like only stirring."
Only stirring my ass. Wanda grumbled to Rogue.
Rogue took care of finishing the chocolate sauce, tying desperately not to let it burn. Kitty added the apples to the correct sauce and set the table.
Forty-five minutes later they were sitting at the table, apple and cinnamon crepes, covered in chocolate sitting in front of them.
"Very good girls," LeChance said. "Full marks." The three X-Men smirked at each other as the teacher walked on.
The three girls looked at their food and shrugged. It was why they hadn't eaten breakfast that morning. The dug in and agreed that they deserved more then full marks.
They were the first group done cleaning up and LeChance dismissed them when they became to restless and Rogue had to hold the two girls apart. Rogue walked in the middle of them incase she needed to hold them back again.
Remy met them in the parking lot with Johnny, Petey and Rocky. The three girls tossed their bags in the back of Lances jeep wondered what their boyfriends were waiting for. The explosion told them.
Tabby walked out of the school with a smirk, in her hand was a coke and a bag of skittles. It was obvious that her backpack was also filled by the look of it. But that still didn't explain why the explosion was so big.
Rogue glanced back at the school and noticed that the Office building was on fire. Kelly came running out shouting nonsense at the group of Mutants. John got a predatory look in his eyes and the arm that wasn't around Wanda's waist flew out. The flames grew and charged.
But before John could destroy anything the flames were iced out. Bobby walked out of the school scowling at Johnny. "Why do you have to be such a hot head?"
"Can't take the heat Freezer Boy?" John sneered.
The impending fight was quickly silenced and the Mutants that were done their exams went back home.
XxXxX
Dinner was an exciting event. Everyone was thrilled that Exams were over and that tomorrow they would no longer be students. But despite of the loudness that was the Mutants they still heard the crash at the front door. Johnny perked up and grinned. Jean shrieked and jumped behind Scott. As if that would save her.
"ROOOGUIE! REMY!" The Boys yelled, crashing into the kitchen. "We're heeeeeeeerrrrrreeeeeeee!"
The X-Men looked at the four boys, piled on top of each other in the kitchen door and burst into fits of laughter.
Lapin tossed his brother and cousin off of him and stole a pea from Rogues plate. He munched on it happily. "Heya Jamie-Boy, you ever been to N'Awleans?"
"No Lapin," Jamie answered.
"That's a shame. You'll love it."
The three others echoed their agreement and fell against the wall behind Rogue and Remy. Theo smirked at his friends and held up his diploma. "I have officially Graduated! And you will have to wait! Nananananana!" Remy and Rogue took the teasing in full swing and Theo went flying.
"OUCH! ROOOOOOOGUIIEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
"All goofing aside," Lapin injected, suddenly serious. He looked at Rogue regretfully and sighed.
"What is it Lapin?" The other boys glanced at each other.
"Rogue, Bella insisted on coming this time."
"Bonjour soeur." (Hello sister)
"Oh fuck."

Dannonspring - Of course I am going to continue it. And there will be more action naturally, I'm just not sure when exactly.
WolvGambit Le Diable Blanc - Here's more! Have fun!
simba317 - TVPietro annoyed me, but I like FicPietro. Of course they would get used to sharring a room, they ARE Remy and Rogue! Jean and Scott will never have children. Ok, their dads kicking Kelly's ass would have been fun, but I suck at writting speaches so I just skipped that part. The threat would have been funny becuase no one really would have thought it real.

Authors Rambles – Ok, so my new computer mouse came in. At the same time my old one started working. Oh well, at least I have a backup one now if mine goes on the fritz. This is chapter thirty three of my story, OHMYGOD! I never truly thought I would get this far. Honestly, it is frightening. I am writing chapter 36 at the moment, yeah I am way behind but for the longest time I COULDN'T write. Freaky huh? It terrified my siblings to see me in the living room. I am usually holed up in my room at my computer. But anyway, Review now. I need the praise to swell my head. Hopefully I'll get the next chapter out soon. Though it depends on how quickly I trype out 36. BTW, I am going through Sirius ROMY with-drawl, if any of you have some great and wonderful fics that you give me that would be great. Perferably give me the tittle and author so I can find them easier. Review now! HAVE FUN!
Luv ya'll
