A/N: I can keep a promise. Look I updated pretty soon. I hope you like this chapter. Today I'm going to add Bobby and Kurt. So, do Rogue and Remy et the hookup? Read and see.
I cannot take this any more
Saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I've found bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you say
You'll find that out any way
Just like before…
Everything you say to me…
Sends me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe…
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
I'm about to break
I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I found bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Just like before…
Everything you say to me…
Sends me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe…
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
Sends me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
I'm about to … break
Shut up when I'm talking to you
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up when I'm talking to you
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
Sends me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
Sends me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
I'm about to … break

"Come on Rogue. It'll be fun"
"Ya, it'll ve great."
"Pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaasssssssse."
"Alright guys. Ya win already." Bobby and Kurt had pestered her relentlessly to go to the movies with them. Being best friends with Rogue they found it a natural urge to want to bring her. "But one word about how hot you think Kirsten Dunst is and I leave. I promise." Rogue threatened with a smile.
"Told you she vould come."
"Did not."
"Ya, I did."
~!*!*!*!*!*!~
Remy walked into the green house and sat down beside Ororo. "Allo Stormy."
"Remy, you startled me. And do not call me that name. And to what do I owe the pleasure?" She questioned.
"Awe come on 'Ro. Ya know I like to spend time wit ya. 'Member we're like this." Remy held out his hand and crossed the first two fingers.
"Yes, as I remember we are quite close. Come. Let's walk." She chose the path that would lead them to the lake. Neither of them talked on the way, saying mostly thoughts about the weather. They sat down on a bench close to the waters edge.
"What do ya tink about de Prof's new idea of me teachin' French? He crazy. Can ya see it chere? Me, sittin', in front o' a bunch o' kids tryin to explain to dem how to talk wit a French accent."
"I'm sure you would be a great teacher if you put your mind to it. It sounds to me as if you might like the idea."
"Where'd you get that idea chere? I don't mix with teachin'. Never have never will."
"I think you do. Even Logan teaches. How hard can it be."
"Not very hard if de wolf man can. Heh. Don't like him chere. Too possessive."
"Of what? Hmmm?"
"Don' go dere 'Ro."
"You don't like Logan because he is getting in between you and Rogue. I never would have thought that the Gambit of all people would have real competition from another male." Storm's joking expression change when a thought entered her head. "Are you in love with her?" She looked to Remy for the answer but he had already turned his face away. "Please do not tell me you are. Rogue is like my little sister and you my little brother. If you continue this she will be hurt. Not to mention your own feelings. You try to be strong, and you are, but you can not hide your feelings forever. Please, my friend, tell me."
"'Ro, I don't know if I'm in love wit her. I never felt like dis before dough. Mebbe I need some time alone." Remy got up from the bench and began to walk towards the mansion. No one had called him on his emotions and it scared him that someone had. He was losing his touch at hiding from the world. He heard Ororo's comment as he turned on to the path. "Remy, please do not take offense at my words. I am only a friend who cares for you."
~!*!*!*!*!*!~
Mebbe she's right. Am I in love wit Rogue?. How am I supposed to know, never been in love before. Yes you have, 'member Belle? No dat wasn't love, just 'nother trick she had in her hat. Tink Remy talk wit chere tonight.
~!*!*!*!*!*!~
"What do we do now guys?" Rogue asked as they walked down the street away from the movie theater.
"Vhy don't ve get zome ice-cream!"
"Sure. You game Rogue?"
"Why not? Just don't get us kicked out this time."
Kurt held up his right hand "I svear I didn't mean to pour my coke on dat voman. Promise."
"Yeah and I'm a pyro. Hurry up I'm hungry."
They made their way to the ice-cream shop on the corner and ordered their ice-cream. Rogue had a banana split, Kurt chocolate fudge ripple and Bobby three scoops of cookie dough. They choose a table out side and began to eat.
'Hey, did you hear, Professor Xavier offered Gambit a teachin' job. That's hilarious." Bobby said between licks of his cone. Rogue had been quiet, stuck in her thoughts, and looked up at the mentions of Remy's code name. She hadn't heard of this. "He's probably never been to school."
"Yah. I can't believe it. Vhat a joke."
"Yah know you guys can be so immature at times. Ya don't even know him." With that she got up and left, leaving her dessert behind.
"Vas it something ve said?"
~!*!*!*!*!*!~
Remy was in the kitchen when Rogue came in. "Allo, chere. Where ya been. Ya had this Cajun looking all over ya." He said with a smile.
"Ah went to the movies with Bobby and Kurt."
"Sounded like fun."
"It was until they kicked us out for rowdy behavior. Not to mention Kurt spilled his coke on a woman. I remember those carefree days. Ya didn't have to worry about anything. Your parents did that for you."
"True, chere. But now we can do anythin' we want. An' we don't 'ave to answer to anybody."
"Sometimes ya gotta answer to yaself."
"'Dats true too chere. What are ya doin' tonight? Ever heard of La Belle? How would you like to accompany me there? My treat."
"Are you asking me on a date?" Rogue questioned. Stepping closer her took her hand in his. Rogue looked in to his eyes and found them shining. His Cheshire cat smile was replaced by one of deep sincerity. "Of course. Does that mean you'll come chere?"
For a moment rogue thought of all that could go wrong nad then remembered all that could go right. "Of course."
~!*!*!*!*!*!~
2nd A/N: How did you like it. I was thinking the other day and I came to the conclusion that I write more when I get more reviews. I wonder why. =) I might be tempted to seriously write a long chapter if I get some really good reviews. How about 6?
