"All her stuff is like totally gone." Kitty said.

"I'll try to find her on Cerebro." Xavier said leaving.

"Why would she take off?" Evan asked.

Scott sighed. "It's my fault. I promised her yesterday I'd help her out with our English project and I went to the movies instead."

"Scott this isn't your fault." Jean told him putting her hand on his shoulder.

"Vell Risty had a some-what knowledge of this happening." Kurt said.

"How so?" Ororo asked.

"She was like good luck getting her to talk to you now. Rogue probably like told her."

"This is a cave?" Rogue asked looking at the small area surrounded by stone and moss.

"Yeah well, didn't want you getting lost in a huge cave." Peitro told her. "I'll try and get some blankets down here tonight without the others suspecting any thing.""

"Why ya bein` so nice to me?"

Peitro shrugged. "Don't know."

Rogue sighed and put her bag down. "Well, thanks."

"I'll try and get your homework for you. Mystique would kill me for not letting you do your academics."

"Yeah well, she'll scold ya for hidin` me too."

"I'll take my chances." He told her. "I'll be back."

Rogue nodded and leaned against the wall and sat down. "Take your time."

Xavier entered the living room and sighed. "I can't find her any way."

"But she has to be somewhere." Scott said. "Where would she be?"

"If Rogue did run away, wouldn't she go to someone she trusted." Jean told them.

"I think I like know." Kitty said.

"Yo where did you go?" Todd asked as Peitro entered the house.

"I went out all right." He said speeding upstairs and into his room shutting the door behind him.

"Was that Peitro?" Lance asked.

Todd nodded. "He's in his room." He said as there was a knock at the door. Todd answered it. "What?"

"Where is she?" Cyclops asked.

Fred, Lance, and Mystique entered the living room and stood behind Todd. At the door was the X-Men all suited up. "What are you talking about?" Fred asked.

"Vhere's Rogue?" Nightcrawler asked.

"How should we know." Lance said.

"Well, she's like missing and her stuff is gone and the only place she'd run to is like this dump." Shadowcat said.

"Well, Rogue is not here." Mystique told them transforming into Raven Darkholme. "Feel free to check out the place if you wish."

"Don't mind if we do." Wolverine said entering first followed by Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, Jean, Spyke, and Storm.

Peitro heard voices from downstairs and groaned. "Great not now." He said quickly putting the blankets back into his closet along with the extra pillow and hurried downstairs. "What are they doing here?"

"They seem to be looking for Rogue." Raven told him. "Did you see her on your walk?"

"No, didn't really see anyone but some jocks." He said.

"No sign of her." Storm said.

Cyclops growled. "If any of you are hiding her somewhere..."

"You'll what? Blast us?" Lance asked. "Get out of our house Cyke."

"Come on." Jean told him. "We'll look around town some more and contact her friend Risty. Maybe she went over there."

"Fine." He said.

"Someone has a temper." Fred said.

"Well, it seems as if Rogue has more guts then I thought she did." Raven told her boys. "If you do find her bring her here."

They four boys nodded and went they're separates ways in the house. Peitro went back up to his room, grabbed the blankets and the pillow and sped out of the house without any one seeing him. He hurried past the neighborhoods and into the woods and into the cave. "Rogue?"

"Ah'm here." She said.

"Here, these were the warmest in my closet."

"Thanks, did they come lookin` for me?"

"Yeah, they came. Summers almost blasted us too."

Rogue shook her head. "It's his fault ya know."

"Why?" He asked sitting next to her.

"Yesterday in lunch he promised to help me with our English project which wasn` due for another month, but when I woke up from a nap an` Evan told me he went to the movies with Jean, Kurt, an` Kitty."

"What hurt you more Rogue?" Peitro asked her. "The part of Summers forgetting about his promise or him being with Jean?"

Rogue never answered him. She just stared at the wall pulling her knees to her chest and hugged them. "Rogue, he's a jerk okay."

"Ah know."

"I better get back, but I'll come right after school okay."

"Ya don` hafta."

"I know, but I want to. You planning on putting up an electrical fence just to keep people out? Cause I need a warning in advance."

Rogue smiled. "No fences."

"Well, I did my good deed for the night."

"What was that?"

"I got you to smile, didn't I?"

Rogue laughed. "G*night Peitro."

"And to laugh." He said smiling as he ran off."
