Disclaimer: Hey, what's up, Marvel? How's it going? I just dropped in to say that I don't own all the characters in this story. It would be pretty cool if I did, but I don't. Hey, I'll give you five bucks for Gambit. No? OK, how about two...?
Author's note (THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!): Man oh man, I am so nervous about this fic. *Takes a couple of deep breaths* I, uh, just wanted to say that this is my first real fanfic, and I really don't think I can write very well (especially romance fanfics, which is what this is, and I'm only fourteen and I don't know jack shirt about romance) and if this story sucks, try to say it in a nice way. Sorry this first part is so short. And, yeah, don't expect a lot more after this, I get writer's block really easily. One more thing: I don't know a lot about the X-Men's past because I just started collecting X-Men comics, so I'm probably going to get some stuff wrong, so sorry in advance. OK, shut up Blades, they don't care...
Just a coupla thank yous: I just wanna thank my cousin, Natalia, for encouraging me to send in this story and being a loving and caring friend. I love ya, Natalia! And also I want to thank my two most favorite authors, Imag and Disturbed Courtney, for inspiring the romantic side of my writing talent to finally emerge. Imag and Courtney, if you guys are reading this, you guys are the greatest!!!

The Next Step
Remy Lebeau sat on the roof of the X-Mansion, watching the clouds drift by lazily. He ran his fingers through his long brown hair, thinking about only one thing.
Rogue.
He had been thinking about her an awful lot lately. He couldn't help it. Ever since Professor Xavier finally taught Rogue how to control her powers, the couple has spent nearly every waking moment together. Gambit had never been so happy in his entire life.
He remembered a few days after she learned how to control her powers, when he first kissed her. It was only on the cheek, but still, wow! What a feeling. Her soft skin, softer than silk, touching his lips.
That night, Remy took Rogue out on the town. They saw a movie, ate at the fanciest restaurant in New York City, and danced the night away. When they got back to the mansion, Rogue wrapped her arms around his neck, and pulled him into the most passionate kiss he ever experienced. It swept through him, making his heart beat faster and his mind race. The kiss nearly lasted a minute, until Logan stalked by and growled in disgust.
"Kids," he grumbled as he walked away.
Gambit and Rogue smiled before kissing again.
Since that night, Gambit was never quite the same. He could be heard humming happy tunes, he hadn't fought with Wolverine in god knows how long, he was constantly buying fellow X-Men presents for no real reason, and Bobby claimed he once saw Remy skipping gaily down the hall to his room. But, of course, no one really believed him.
Remy was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard a car drive up. It was Jean, Rogue, and Ororo back from their shopping spree. He watched as the car entered the mansion's garage.
Gambit ran his fingers through his hair again before he stood up. He had officially decided what he was going to do. He was going to take the next step.
He was going to ask Rogue to marry him.
To be continued...
