Hey All!

Okay, here's the set up. I hope this story is better than my second and first ones (which will be refurbished, I swear!)

Um, I once again own nothing, and would like to point out that since I'm writing anything beside Anne Rice's name, and book titles I'm not realy breaking any ff.net rules. Thank you. (I had to give Rogue her weapon of choice ya know.)

"Come on Rogue. You can't stay inside reading, like, Anne Rice all day. Just put your bookmark in, come with me to Scott's car, and we'll go to the mall. I'll even go to, like, Borders with you if you'll come."

Nothing. Kitty sighed.

"Don't you need to go to 'Spencers' for spring break stuff?"

Kitty got more nothing.

"There's a half off sale at Lazarus. Come on Rogue!"

Rogue was still not paying attention to Kitty, with a lot of help from Anne Rice and Korn, if you get what I'm saying. Kitty was fed up by now. She grabbed _The Vampire Lestat_ and Rogue's headphones. Rogue immediatly looked up and glared at Kitty.

"Kitty, Ah just don't want to talk to you. Give me mah stuff, an' go the hell away."

"Aw come on. You can't mope in here all day!"

"You're right."

"Duh." Kitty was working hard not to show she was still nervouse about what form of revenge Rogue would get her with. But Kitty knew if she showed fear Rogue would eat her alive, literally maybe.

"Ah'm goin' to be in our room, doin' mah french paper. Don't bother me."

Kitty stood in between Rogue and the door. She looked determined, and definitly unKittylike, even though she was scared. (AN: Girl's got guts, but they might be on the floor if she keeps this up, no?)

"You sit inside all day, and you, like, don't talk to anyone ever! Don't go sulk up in our room, we won't see you for hours."

"Wouldn't that be a pity." The sarcasm was as thick as Rogue could make it. Recently the only person she'd even been partly friendly to was Remy, because he was getting teased mercilessly for what he'd thought. That and it'd been Jean who'd started it, and anyone who got screwed by Jean was okay with her.

"Like, yeah. I know you're still pissed about he whole 'You totally like Remy assembly'; but it was for your own good!"

Rogue snorted and grabbed her stuff from Kitty. She looked evilly at her roommate, who didn't budge, and sighed. She turned around and sat back in her chair as she put her headphones back in. She also marveled at the fact that her page had somehow not been lost in the process of being take and retrieved.

Kitty sighed and phased through the floor into the rec. room, where a rousing game of go fish was in full swing. Bobby was currently winning, so he was really ticked off when Kitty told him she had to talk to him alone. But he followed anyway, just see what was happening.

The newer recruits, minus Ray and Roberto, who were playing Jet Moto on versus mode, and Amara wo'd left after talking to Remy in the hall, continued playing, skipping over Bobby's turn and slowly working his cards into their hands. Jubilee wound up winnig that game, but Sam won the last one, before the fighting between Ray and Roberto got so loud only Sam stayed in the rec room, and then only to keep the peace.

Meanwhile Bobby was being briefed on why his winnig streak had been intterupted.

"What's up Kitty?"

"I need you to, like, make Rogue laugh."

Bobby snorted derisivley. "Yeah, right. I'll solve world hunger by inventing a better tasting fat free twinkie while I'm at it."

"Just, like, try. She never socialises. I mean, we, like, know not to touch her. So why won't she go to the mall or the park?"

"Did you try the library or Borders?"

"Duh, I tried them first."

"Did you try to embarrass and irritate her by bringing up Remy?"

"No, well, maybe a little."

Bobby stood thinking for a minute before nodding his head. "Okay, I'll do it. But I'll need Kurt for back up. Gimme a sec."

"Thanks Bobby."

"Hey better than a twelveth game of go fish."
