Marie
Disclaimers: I don't own X-Men or anything like that, and I don't own the song Marie,
sung by Judy Collins on the CD Hard Times for Lovers. My dad says that the song was
in a play, but I dunno. If anyone has any info about that, could they PLEASE e-mail
me? Danke... et merci!
Author's Note: Hey, it had to be done. I love Gambit! I know most of my knowledge
from the Evolution series... and my friend who does all the research (A THOUSAND
dankes to her, btw). I'm too lazy writing fics like these to do my own. This is actually
my third X fic... umm... I think. But my first fic on here. I'm just putting in a toe to test
out the waters before I jump in.

Remy couldn't believe it. What reason was he here for? He looked around,
confused. He shouldn't be here... Everyone around him was partying and pretty much
having a great time. He wasn't happy. He was all dressed up, but he wasn't happy.
Why should he be here? It was the Christmas party of a lifetime, and everyone was
there, dressed up so fancy, so elegant... Remy took a deep breath as he stared at
Rogue. She looked so lovely... Her hair was in a half-up style, spare the two white
streaks, which were left to frame her face. Her black dress covered her whole body-
she wasn't taking an chances, and she had traded her usual gloves for fancy ones to
match. She laughed as she talked to Scott, who had Jean's arm in his. As Remy
stared at Rogue, empty punch cup in hand, he realized the damage he had caused
between the two of them...
Suddenly the song that had been playing ended and the Prof spoke up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a request. 'Marie' from Remy."
(Hey...) Remy thought as the song began to play. (Remy didn't...)
He then noticed Scott and Jean pushing Rogue over to him, and with a wink,
they left to dance themselves.
"I can't believe you'd do this!" She whispered harshly to him, a glare apparent
on her face. "You know no one calls me Marie anymore!"
"But Remy didn't do...!" Remy tried to defend himself, to no avail.
"Fine, whatever. Let's get this over with," Rogue wrapped her arms around his
neck, and he awkwardly placed his hands on her waist. They began to slowly dance to
the graceful melody.
Then the images came back to haunt him.
*You looked like a princess
The night we met
With your hair pulled up high
I will never forget.*
"I still haven't got how you've been actin' lately outta mah mind..." Rogue said,
fire in her eyes. "I know the Professor has talked to you already, and I know you two
settled it, and you settled it with everbody else... but you haven't settled it with me."
Remy gulped.
*I'm drunk right now baby
But I've got to be
To tell you the things that
You mean to me.*
+"Remy! Why won't you talk to me!" Rogue shouted behind his locked door. She
pounded, almost ready to sob. "Remy! Tell me what's wrong! You storm in here- no,
not you, Ororo- You barge in here, mad as Hell, and you won't talk to me!"
Remy ignored it. He didn't know why he wouldn't talk to her... he just couldn't
handle it right now. Everything was going terribly, his surprise present for Rogue
ruined...
"Remy! Come out, I'm here for a reason!" Rogue cried.
"Go away, chère..." Remy muttered to himself.
"... Fine! I'll go away, Swamp Rat! See if I care!"
Silence. Remy turned over and covered his head with his pillow. Soon he was
fast asleep.+
*Oh I love you, I loved you
the first time I saw you,
And I always will love you
Marie ...
I love you, I loved you
the first time I saw you,
And I always will love you
Marie.*
"Why did you do what you did, Remy?" Rogue asked in a whisper.
"Remy... not know..." Remy said.
"You almost had me killed, Swamp Rat!" Rogue glared angrily. "You know that?
Just by doing nothin', you could have killed me."
"Remy sorry..." Remy avoided her eyes. "Remy would never try to 'urt Rogue
purposefully!"
Remy then glanced back at Rogue. Rogue looked up at him with her wide eyes.
Those beautiful eyes...
*You're the song that the tree sings
When the wind blows.
You're a flower, you're a river,
You're a rainbow!*
+"Gambit!" Rogue screamed as the Brotherhood attacked. The card-throwing
mutant was nowhere to be found. Everyone else had surrounded where the
Brotherhood members had gathered.
"What is it you want this time?" Wolverine growled at Mystique.
"We've found the perfect time to disrupt your plans just when you thought we
weren't looking... and at your weakest point," Mystique said as she squeezed Rogue's
neck even tighter with gloved hands.
"Gam... bit... save..." Rogue struggled for breath and tried to reach for her gloves,
but couldn't, somehow... losing oxygen...
Wolverine lunged. Mystique dodged out of the way.
"Nuh uh! Not if you want Little Miss Southern Belle here to get punctured!"
Mystique said, as she turned into Wolverine.
"Rogue!" Cyclops shouted.
Nightcrawler bmphed away, but soon returned. "I can't find Remy anyvhere!"
"Remy right 'ere." Remy showed up behind Mystique.
"Good job, French Fry. Were you there the whole time?" Wolverine asked,
outraged.
Remy nodded.
"Help!" Rogue cried out. Mystique laughed.
Remy looked at the ground, then at Rogue. An angry look passed over his face.
"Si vous voulez Rogue so bad, rescue elle yourselves. Vous could have fini by
maintentant d'ailleurs."+
*Sometimes I'm crazy, but I guess you know.
I'm weak and I'm lazy, and I hurt you so.
I don't listen to a word you say.
And when you're in trouble, I turn away.*
Rogue danced a little closer to Remy and leaned her head on his shoulder
sadly.
"I can't believe you..."
"Remy sorry!" Remy hugged Rogue tightly. "Remy not know what to do... Remy
scared, and angry, and... not know. Remy still... care for Rogue."
"Prove it."
Remy sighed.
*But I love you, I loved you
the first time I saw you,
And I always will love you
Marie.*
"Remy sorry... chère..." Remy wished he could kiss her, she was so sad. Then,
a thought came to him.
Rogue looked up at him with wonder. Then her eyes widened.
"Remy... what are you doin'..."
"Does Rogue feel tat? Teh pressure in 'ead?"
Rogue nodded, then winced.
"Fight against it, chère... Will it to be gone."
Rogue took a deep breath, then closed her eyes. She gasped as the pressure
left as soon as it appeared.
Remy smiled and put his hand up to her cheek. She cried out.
"Remy LeBeau!" (AN: REMY THE BEAUTIFUL!! Well, in this case, handsome!
Heh heh heh... anyway)
"Quoi?"
"You're gonna get- Remy, what's happening? Why aren't you-"
*I love you, I loved you
the first time I saw you,
And I always will love you
Marie.*
The last chorus of the song echoed throughout their heads, and Remy swayed
with Rogue as he sang along with the final words...
"Je t'aime, je t'ai aimé la première fois je t'ai vu, et je toujours t'aimerai...
Marie..." he sang shakily in low key into her ear.
"Remy..." Rogue cried, scared.
"Shhh..." Remy paused, then kissed her softly on the lips. She was instantly
swept away. He could kiss her... and not be affected!
Remy pulled away to gaze into her eyes. Rogue lingered.
"Mmm... Forgiven..."
Both the young lovers grinned and kissed each other once more, as the
beautiful melody came to an end.
Luckily, their love for each other did not.
