Close one Remy… the figure thought to himself. He fell from the ceiling and landed gently on his feet, making no noise at all. He was getting better at being stealthy and here it was crucial to be seen by no one…well, almost no one.

He leaned over Rogue's bed. She was lying there, her chest moving up and down, as she slept snuggling into her covers, a smile on her face. Remy couldn't help but smile. He leaned over a bit further, ready to kiss her gentle lips…

Suddenly, something struck his leg and he fell to the floor with a small thump. Rogue rolled over, still asleep. Remy turned and met a foot in the face. He doubled back, not really hurt…the kick wasn't hard. He fluttered his eyes open and saw a blonde haired girl crouching down in a defensive stance.

'What do you want here Cajun? It's past curfew…'

'Don' worry petite.' He whispered back, 'Remy's jus' checking on Chere.' He pointed to the still and peaceful Rogue. One of Stokely's eyebrows shot up, and she looked from one to the other. She then sat back down and wrapped the blanket around her again.

'You've got five minutes.' She said lying down again. He smiled, and then sat down as well. Kerri was awake as well, but she stared at Remy as if it were a dream…she thought he was the best looking X-Men, but when Rogue told her they were dating, she had to forget him.

'So you've been friends with Rogue, how long, petite?' Kerri looked at Stokely and Stokely looked back.

'A while.'

'That's specific…how did you and chere meet?' Again the girls looked at each other and an odd silence entered the room. 'Well…?' Kerri forced a fake smile.

'At a concert…she wanted to join so she did and it's actually pretty boring.' Stokely laid back and closed her eyes. Remy didn't really believe them but he thought about it and he didn't know anyone who didn't have secret or two. He turned his attention back to Rogue.

'So how'd you an' Rogue meet?' Kerri asked watching him intently. He smiled as if remembering a sweet memory. Even Stokely couldn't help noticing a certain glow radiating from him when he saw her.

'On a dark and stormy night…' he said as he got up.

'Five minutes exactly…at least you're punctual Cajun.' Stokely smiled, her eyes remaining closed. He smiled back and waved to Kerri, who seemed to melt.

With that he did a back flip up into the air vent and that was as much as they heard.

'Kerri, stop fidgeting.' Kitty said as she heard a bit of a thump when Remy left.

Kerri smiled as she too laid her head down on her pillow…Remy…
