Summary: A little story about Rogue's childhood pet.
**************************
ROGUE'S PET
Rogue's birthday was coming up and the entire mansion was preparing for the occasion. Meanwhile Rogue was on a minor mission, and gone for a few days. This gave enough time for her teammates to give her a special party. The X-men usually didn't celebrate such occasions, but the needed it to take their mind of the latest trouble with the FoH.
Jean and Ororo were in the kitchen cooking up a storm
Carefully, he jumped of the tree and onto Rogue's window frame, as he did many, many times before. Lucky for him the window was open, and getting in was as easy as that.
Her room was filled with toys, pictures, and other x-womanly things. He looked around trying to find a clue on what she might really want. After 1/2 an hour of searching he still didn't have any ideas.
He was about to leave when he noticed a book lying under Rogue's bed. He picked it up and read: "TOP SECRET! DO NOT OPEN! This means you Remy" With a smirk on his face he opened the book.
Dear diary,
Why won't he learn. He keeps asking meh to go out with him. It's not that Ah don't wanna it's just… what's the point, Ah'll never be able to touch him…
He read a few more entries until he found a particularly interesting one.
Dear diary,
Ah never told this to anyone, but when Ah was a small girl, about 10 or 11 Ah used to own the sweetest little kitty. One day Ah found her while walking in the park. She was a three colored cat. Orange, black and white. Her name was Luna, Ah don't remember why Ah named her that. Ah used to play with her all the time. That was until Ah found out that Ah was a mutant. Ah don't know what happend to her after Ah joined Mystique. Ah sure miss her. Ah'm afraid of getting another cat, because of mah power. Oh well, to bad.
Mon Dieu, Gambit never t'ink dat Roguie was a chat person. Hmm dat gives Remy an idea!
Putting the book back under the bed Gambit jumped out of the window and headed to the garage.

A few hours latter…
As Rogue entered the mansion everybody yelled SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Rogue was a little startled by the surprise, but very glad that they remembered.
Everyone was hugging Rogue and congratulating her on completing the mission. After diner every one was giving her presents. Logan gave Rogue a very nice claw cut statue of her with his entails on the bottom. Jean and Scott got her a miniature t.v. Ororo gave her some kind of exotic African plant and the others gave her jewelry and perfume. Gambit insisted on going last.
Rogue was always a bit nervous of his "presents." Last year he gave her 3 pairs of lingerie. She noticed him holding a large box. He walked over to her and gave her the box. She felt something move inside it. She opened it and inside was a small three colored kitten. Her eye filled with tears as she picked it up with glowed hands.
On it's Small green caller it said LUNA!
