Author's Note: You do know that Logan was conned by Ororo, right? Anyway, the buffet is in the next chapter.
heartstar – Nice to know I have a new fan. Glad you like what I'm writing!! ^_^
Chaos – I'll try writing more in the next chapter.
Duncan – Well, this chapter will answer your question.
evolutionary spider – Wow, you reviewed each of my chapters. About Chapter 6, Rogue doesn't hate Kitty, she just found her extremely annoying. You ever feel really down and you just want to be left alone. Well that's how Rogue was feeling and since Kitty tried to cheer her up, Rogue took her frustrations and pain out on Kitty. They don't hate each other and their actually close friends (I mean Kitty did tease Rogue about staring at Remy's butt and got away with it. Most people would be too scared to tease Rogue except the people who are her friends). Thanks for all praises, they really inflated my ego. Hehe! ^_^ (PS, could you e-mail me any other suggestions for the names I could use for my other fic "Morning Gossip"? I'd like to write another chapter and it would be wonderful if you could give more names.)
JADEOBLUE – Well, since they did show that whole scene of Logan not leaving her bedside after Rogue went 'insane', I figured they had to be close. Logan doesn't know how to deal with women unless it's in bed, that's my opinion.
Lady Damita – Glad you like! ^_^

Logan wanted to wring the neck of the guy whom he smelled on Rogue. Unfortunately, he couldn't track the smell as she had been on a motorcycle, and the wind would have scattered it.
Cursing under is breath; Logan took another swig of his bear.
After downing it, Logan rose from his chair, and went to the garage. He desperately wanted to jump on the motorcycle and hit the nearest bar, but the motorcycle still smelled like Rogue and that guy.
He knew it was a guy by the testosterone smell intertwined with a unique blend of spice. Females and young children didn't smell of testosterone.
As it was only 9:30, and Logan didn't feel the least bit sleep, he decided to go bug someone.
Let see…the students? Yeah right, who the hell wants to hang out with a bunch of hormonal driven teenagers who think the world revolves around them. Not me. Even one is one too many………hmm, who else? Chuck? Right, I'm sure he's just a riot. He'll probably want to tap dance on my brain before doing the Macarena down what's left of my memory lane………Beast? Nah, that guys no fun. Between his Shakespeare and all the chemicals he hangs out with, he'd probably wouldn't even notice I was there………Ro? Could see her. But the amount of time I spend around her, it's like were datin or somthin. But I am bored…Still I don't want to give her the wrong idea…but I'm bored…Grr, stop being a wimp and go annoy the pretty white haired lady.
Having made up his mind, Logan followed her most recent scent and found himself by her open bedroom door.
"Err, Ro, you in there?"
Just then, Ro waltzed into his field of vision wearing an almost see through white night gown. When she saw him, she gave him a dazzling smile and slipped on a bathrobe.
As he watched her, Logan Jr. made himself painfully obvious.
"What brings you here Logan?" She answered pleasantly as she closed the bathrobe and tied the knot.
"Saw the door open, figured I'd see what you were up to." Logan lied smoothly.
"Come in, but you my bedroom is on top floor. You would have to climb the stairs to see if my bedroom door was open." Ororo said, her eyes twinkling with mischief as her face lit up in a mischievous smile.
Logan stopped dead in his tracks, stunned that she had caught him. He quickly recovered.
"You got me. I was bored and decided to see what you were going?"
"Why me?" The question was sincere and that threw Logan off for a second. Just for a second though.
"Everybody else is boring."
"Well, I am flattered that you think I am not. Have you considered reading a book?"
"Do I look like the kind of guy who reads books?"
"Well, I suppose you don't. How about a movie?"
"If you'll join me."
He watched her smile.
"Why not?"
As they made their way downstairs, Logan spoke.
"So, what are we gonna watch? Not a chick flick I hope."
"How about…The Mummy?"
"Can't say I've ever seen it. Does it have romance?"
"Well, just the normal hero saves damsel in distress."
Logan groaned.
"A chick flick."
"They do fight a three-thousand year old mummy?"
"Do lots of people die."
"Yes, quite horribly too."
"Lots of chaos and destruction?"
"Well, Cairo gets mostly destroyed by meteor showers, and flesh eating scarabs kill a few people."
"Flesh eating scarabs?"
"Yes."
"Excellent." Ororo ignored the unholy glee in his voice.
And so, they made it downstairs and watched the movie. While the sat side by side, Logan did concentrate on the movie. This was the first time he saw it and he enjoyed all the mindless violence immensely. The romance wasn't so bad, since he did find himself cheering that the hero got the girl.
Ororo, unfortunately, wasn't as lucky. The Mummy was one of her favorite films and she knew the lines, plot, and characters by heart. This gave her ample opportunity to notice the TV absorbed man beside her. It took all of her will not to touch him more then the 'innocent' brushes. It took even more self will not start a thunderstorm to make Logan pay attention to her.
The movie finally ended and curiosity got the best of her.
"Did you like it?"
"Surprisingly, yes." His facial features mimicked his words.
"Good."
"Why'd you suggest it?"
"Well, I suppose it reminds me of my childhood."
"How so?"
"I spent it in Cairo."
"Were you born there?" It surprised her that he actually seemed to genuinely want to know.
"No, I was born in New York, but my parents died in Cairo leaving me orphaned."
"Oh. Um, Sorry."
"It was not your fault and it happened so long ago anyway."
"Still, it had to have been tough."
"It was." The sadness he heard in her tone tore at his soul.
They sat in companionable silence.
It was Ororo who first broke it.
"It is getting late. We should get some sleep." With that said, she stood up and stretched.
Logan didn't say anything or move.
"Goodnight Logan."
"Night darlin."
With that, Logan watched Ro walk to her room.
