Disclaimer: X-Men Evo not mine.

A/N: Well "Blind Alley" was kind of a disappointment to me. I like Jean and Scott as a couple, I just don't wanna see 30 minutes about them. But at least they are finally together. Now I just wish they would get their butts moving on Remy and Rogue. I couldn't be so lucky. Let's just hope something happens between them soon. Evolution is a repeat this weekend, how sad. Anyway, this chapter is kinda sad. You can just tell by the title of the chapter.....

Thanks to everyone who reviewed, they are much appreciated. Now on with the story.

Chapter 7- Foolish Hearts

After breakfast the next morning, Rogue, Kurt, Scott and Jean had a training session. This time, Rogue was able to concentrate and the training session was a success. Still, they all came out of the Danger Room exhausted.

"Good job guys." Scott said, looking at Rogue.

Kurt had also noticed the change in her too. "I'm glad you vere able to concentrate today. Vhy ze sudden change?"

"Ah dunno Kurt. Ah just finally got mah problems figured out."

"You mean zat guy?" He asked.

"Yeah. We talked last night. Ah'm still not happy with what yah and Kitty did though, so don't think yah two are off the hook."

Kurt cringed. "It vasn't my idea, honest. I didn't know what she was doing. She just kinda dragged me along."

"Ah just don't know if ah can trust him. He is the enemy. Ah'm just gonna be careful. If he hurts meh, ah'll kill him, that's all.

"If zat guy hurts you, ve will all help you kill him."

They both chuckled at the thought.

"Ah'm gonna go out for some coffee. Yah wanna come?"

"Nah, Rogue, I can't. I have some homework that is due tomorrow, and I haven't even started on it."

"That biology report?"

"Zat's ze one." He groaned.

"Awww, have fun."

"Zanks, I'll try."

She walked into the living room, where everyone was hanging out either watching t.v. or talking.

"Anyone wanna get some coffee?" She called.

No one volunteered.

"I'll go with you." Scott offered.

"Yah ready to go now?"

"Yeah, just let me grab my keys."

"Ok."

A few minutes later they were in Scott's red convertible on their way to the coffee shop in town.

"So did you have fun last night at the carnival?" He asked, trying to make conversation.

"Yeah, ah did. Ah had more fun than ah thought ah would."

"I saw that lion you won. What game did you win that from?"

"One of those roulette games. Of course it took meh like $12 to win it."

Scott laughed. "Those things are all rigged. I'm glad you won something. Me and Jean spent most of our time on the rides. After we blew $20 on those games without winning anything, we called it quits."

It was Rogue's turn to laugh now.

They reached the coffee shop and parked the car. They walked to the door in silence, but Scott held it open for her. She smiled at him. They walked up to the register and ordered their coffees.

"Do yah want meh to get us a table Scott?"

"Sure, there are only a couple left. Grab those two in the back over there by the window."

Ok."

She walked over and sat down in one of the small stuffed chairs. She looked around at the store. It was shaped like an 'L'. The seats in the back of the store were in a little alcove and could not be seen unless you stood directly in front of them.

Scott joined her a few minutes later.

"Here you go." He said as he set both cups down on the small round table.

"You did good today in the training session. May I ask what caused the change in you?"

"Ah was just having some problems, and ah finally got them settled. Don't worry about it. Ah won't get distracted like that again."

"It's ok. I just want to make sure that you are ok."

"Ah am."

"Good."

They sipped their coffee and chatted about school and other such things for a little while. Rogue finished her coffee first.

"Ah'm gonna go throw this out."

The garbage cans were on the opposite side of the store. They were on the wall over by the little alcove in the back. Once you got to the garbage cans all you had to do was turn left and you would see the back alcove.

As she was throwing her trash in the garbage, she heard familiar voices. So she listened.

"How are you going to get this girl to fall for you in such a short time, mate?"

"She already fallin' for me. Wasn't hard. I told you I was good John."

"Guess so."

Her eyes widened. She grasped onto the side of the wall, pressing herself against it, and moving closer to them.

'No, this can't be happening.'

She listened in again.

"What did the boss tell you last night when you came back from that carnival?"

"Told me to keep workin' on de girl. Dat I was doin' a good job of romancin' her. He told me not to get too involved, not to fall in love wit' her."

"Are you in love with her?"

"Non, John. She means not'in' to me. Jus' a girl to play wit', flirt wit' a little."

"Yeah, I know you Remy. You're a flirt. That's all you do."

Remy chuckled. "T'anks, mon ami."

Rogue couldn't listen anymore. She wouldn't cry here. Not in front of these people.

'Ah can't believe this. Ah mean nothing to him. He is just using me for Magneto.'

She walked quickly back to Scott. When she reached their table, she pulled him out of his chair.

"Let's go. We gotta get outta here. Hurry up, Scott." she whispered as she tugged him to the door.

"What's going on?"

"Nothing. Ah just forgot ah had some homework. We gotta get back to the mansion."

He gave her a concerned look.

"Just get in the car and drive." She said angrily.

Not wanting to anger her anymore, he did as she told him.

They got in the car and pulled out of the lot. She stared out the window, tears welling up in her eyes.

'Ah will not cry in front of him.' She told herself.

Scott threw worried glances in her direction every now and then.

"What happened. Talk to me, let me help."

"It's nothing."

"You don't want to talk about it?"

She shook her head no.

The rest of the drive was silent. When they pulled into his designated spot in the garage, she quickly got out, ran into the mansion, and up to her room. She softly shut the door, threw herself face down on the bed and started to cry.

Scott had just made it into the house. He heard Kitty and Jean talking in the living room. When he entered the room, they stopped talking and looked at him. They noticed is confused expression.

"What's wrong Scott?" asked Jean.

"I don't know. Everything was fine. We just went out for coffee. She went to throw her garbage out, and when she came back, she's rushing me out of the place. And she looked really upset. I asked her what happened, but she wouldn't tell me. She stared out the window the whole ride home."

"You didn't see anything happen to her?" Jean asked.

"No." he replied.

Kitty jumped off the couch and ran upstairs. She knocked softly on her and Rogue's bedroom door before entering. The lights were off and she saw Rogue laying on the bed, crying.

Kitty went quickly to her side. "What happened?" She asked softly.

Rogue sat up on the bed, bringing her knees to her chest. She wrapped her arms around her knees, and rested her forehead on top of her forearms. Kitty put an arm around her, pulling her close and hugging her. She stroked her hair with the other hand.

"Tell me what happened." She whispered soothingly.

Rogue lifted her head and looked at Kitty. The crying slowed, and finally stopped.

"Oh, Kitty. He was just using meh." She said in a shaky breath. "He doesn't want meh." She choked out and resumed crying.

"That guy Remy? Oh my God, I'm sorry. What happened? Tell me."

"Ah heard him talking with one of the others, Pyro ah think his name is. They were talking about how he was just pretending to want meh, so ah would fall in love with him. Then he would dump meh. He told John that ah meant nothing to him, that he didn't care about meh."

"I'm sorry, Rogue. I shouldn't have pushed you two together last night. I'm so sorry."

"It's not your fault, Kitty." She choked out.

The crying resumed again for a little while. Kitty held her the entire time. When the crying finally stopped, the room was silent, except for the sound of a breaking heart.




Forgive me for killing Kurt's accent. I can't do his accent for the life of me. I suck at it. Sorry. I hope you liked this chapter. Its kinda sad, but hey, Remy and Rogue have to have some kind of hurdle to get over right? I couldn't think of anything better. The next chapter is written already, I just have to type it up. Maybe this weekend I will try to. Anyway, review, let me know what you thought of this chapter. See you next time.
