Disclaimer: They ain't mine, I used to say they were mine, but I don't anymore. Yeah, that's a REALLY long story!
Even though I loved the episode 'Self Possessed', this is what I think should have happened in the story. Parts may be the same, or similar, others may be completely different. I don't remember what concert they were going to, so, since I was listening to Staind when I came up with this idea, they are going to see Staind. *gets all gigglely* Plus that they rock! OK! On with the story!

ROGUE MIND
Chapter one: Major Let Down
===================
Hitting the ball as hard as she could, Rogue had to force back a laugh as it barely grazed Scott's head and bounced off the wall behind him. She lost it though when it came back from the wall and hit him anyway. Giving herself a few to stop laughing, and Scott a few to recover, she couldn't help but gloat at him. 'So, ah believe that's mah ten ta your two. Don't quote meh sugah, but ah think ya lost!' Even though she couldn't see his eyes, she could tell he was impressed. 'Yeah, but don't forget Rogue, no one likes a bragger.' he chuckled at her.
Silence was the only thing heard as they stood there and stared at each other. 'It's now or neva girl, jus ask him!' that little voice in her mind tried to persuade her. 'What's the worst that could happen?' it tempted again.' He could say 'no', that's what!' She was about to think of another reason not to ask him when Scott gently nudged her on the shoulder. 'Hey, you in there?' He teased her gently. Giving him a withered smile, she thought to herself, 'If only you knew'. Looking down at her feet, she forced herself to look at him. He was bending over to gather his things, he was getting ready to leave. This really was her only chance. Mustering up all the courage she could, she made her way over to him.
'So, ya going to the concert tonight?' Scott looked at her with a puzzled look on his face, his equipment momentarily forgotten. 'Yeah, why, you going?' He replied with one of those oh so cute grins that caused pink to rush to her pale cheeks. 'Yeah, ah mean no, ah mean ah jus think it's really cool that the professah said we could all go. Ya know?' Giving her another one of those grins, he laughed and said, 'Yeah, I was pretty surprised too. I was even more surprised when Jean asked me to go with her. I mean I didn't really think she would want to go with me, I was so nervous to ask her! I'm really glad........' She had stopped listening though, and her heart fell to her feet, Jean had already asked him.
Swallowing the lump that had started to form in her throat, she somehow managed to find her voice. 'That's really great Scott, ya'll will have a good tahm together.' Not noticing the hurt in her voice, Scott looked at his watch. 'Speaking of the concert, I need to start getting ready. I know it's not till later tonight, but I want everything to be perfect. Ya know, first date and all.' With that being said, he gathered up the rest of his equipment and took off down the hallway.
Rogue watched him until he turned the corner and disappeared. Going back into the courtroom, she gave a sad sigh. 'Why Jean, what makes her so damn great? Nuthin, that's what!' It wasn't Jean's fault though, she didn't know who's fault it was. Maybe it was hers, hers for not saying something earlier and making her feelings known. 'Perhaps if ah had only told him how ah felt, maybe it would be meh that his arm would be around tonight.' None of that mattered now because she wasn't going. She would stay at home all alone while everybody went out and had a good time. 'Maybe Logan will teach meh that new move he was tellin us about. Besides, even if ah did go, who'd want ta go with someone they can't touch!'
Bending down to gather her own stuff, that's when it hit her. At first it started out as a small pain in the side of her head, but then it enveloped her whole head and it felt like her brain was going to explode. Visions of someone else flashed in her mind, confusing her thoughts and making her dizzy. People pointing and laughing, 'I'm not good enough!', 'No body likes me!', 'Why are they all staring at me!'. Letting out a frightened scream, she picked up her racket and threw it against the wall making a giant hole on impact. After that, it was gone. Standing up, Rogue surveyed the damage that she had just caused, 'How did ah do that?' she thought in awe. Still really confused, and now really scared, she turned around and ran for the door, leaving her things behind.
===================
Logan was walking down the hallway leading to the rec room. Nearing the Racket -Ball Court he noticed the door was standing ajar. Logan let out a low growl as he went to shut the door. Peering in to see who was in there, he couldn't help but think to himself, 'Darn kids why can't they ever jus..... What the hell?' It was hard to miss the hole that now decorated the back wall of the court. Walking closer to it, he noticed the racket hanging slightly out of the wall. Picking it up and bringing it close to his face, he turned it over in his hands. He didn't have to smell it to know whom it belonged to, it was written plain as day on the handle, Rogue.
===================
Quickly dressing, Rogue grabbed a pair of gloves and started for her mirror. Picking up her brush, she began to do her hair. Gazing at her reflection, she thought back to what had happened earlier that day. 'What was that?' she thought to herself. Nothing like that had ever happened to her before. It was like she had no control over her thoughts or emotions. What made it more puzzling to her was the fact that they weren't her thoughts, they were Fred's. Why was she reliving Fred's memories? Giving a disgusted sigh to herself in the mirror, she threw her brush down and went to grab her book bag. Slinging it onto her back, she went for the door and flung it open.
She nearly screamed when she ran smack into Logan. Clutching her hand to her chest, she looked up at him with an angry glare. 'LOGAN! Wut the hell are ya doin' jus standin' there?! Ya nearly gave meh a heart attack!' she yelled at him. Giving her an apologetic grunt, he pulled something out from behind his back. 'Havin' some problems with Racket-Ball Stripes?' he asked her while swinging the disheveled racket close to her face. Telltale pink once again found her cheeks and her eyes darted toward the floor. 'Sorry Logan, it was an accident. Ah swear ah'll clean it all up later.' she mumbled before looking at his face.
Her eyes once again glued to the floor, she tried to get around him, but his arm shot out in front of her. Keeping her eyes to the ground, she listened as he struggled for the right thing to say. 'Darlin', you ok? Anythin' you want to talk about?' Looking up into his face, she couldn't help but notice the slight concern mixing the features on his face. He was worried about her. Giving him a smile that said 'Oh yes, everything is ok, I just have this secret I'm afraid to blurt out. Hope ya understand.' she replied, 'Yeah Logan, ah'm fahn. Ah'm jus worried bout missin' mah ride ta school. Can't be late ya know.' She hated lying to him. Just as he was about to add another protest to her, Kitty ran around the corner. 'Like Rogue, hurry up! We're gonna catch a ride with Jean in her new SUV!' Shuffling past Logan, (who reluctantly let her go), she ran to catch up with Kitty. 'Thank God for small favors, and annoying valley girls.' she thought to herself.
Now running beside Kitty, they made their way into the garage. Slowing down they walked over to Jean who was checking her reflection in the mirror of the vehicle. 'It's about time you guys showed up, we're going to be late now.' 'Oh yes, Ms. Perfect is nevea late for school. How dare we forget.' Rogue thought as she opened a backseat door. As Jean gunned the engine, Kitty gave her an apologetic glance. 'Like sorry Jean, I couldn't find Rogue like anywhere! Poor girl was getting the third from Logan.' Rogue for the third time that morning, found herself getting hot in the face. Avoiding Jean's stare in the mirror, she sunk low in her seat.
'Wow Jean! You could like car pool for the concert tonight in this thing!' Kitty swooned to Jean. 'I can't Kitty. I kinda promised Scott that I would ride with him, we're going together in his car.' Giving an over excited giggle, Kitty started on her 'Oh, you got a boyfriend!' rant. Just when Rogue thought things couldn't get any worse, Kurt ported into the van and started helping Kitty in the teasing of Jean. 'Yeah, that's right. Perfect Jean has perfect Scott, and soon they'll have perfect babies!' she thought bitterly in her mind. Glaring out the window, she watched the trees roll by. She didn't say a word to any of them, not even when they had reached the school. Silently she exited the car and hurried off toward the entrance before Kitty could catch up to her. She just wanted to be alone.
===================
Standing on the edge of the large school campus, Risty Wilde, (aka Mystique) watched as Rogue trudged her way into the school. She didn't look too good, kind of withered and tired. If Destiny's predictions were correct, (and they were hardly ever wrong) Rogue was already experiencing problems with her mutation. All Destiny had told her was that Rogue was in danger and that she feared for her life. Somehow all the personalities in her mind were beginning to fight their way to the surface. If that was the case, Rogue would either loose her mind and be lost in the memories of those she had in her head, or all of the powers she had absorbed would activate all at once and kill her. She hoped this was not the case. What ever was going to happen Rogue, she would be there to help her. Glaring at a group of teens entering the building, she started towards the door. 'Wouldn't want to be late for your first day back!' she mumbled to herself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yeah, first chapter is kinda weak, but it will get better. Around the third chapter, this is really going to take a way different twist. I'm going to add in my oh so favorite character, (well, other than Rogue, duh!) I really can't wait to get there. Hope ya'll liked this enough to review. Please don't give me flames about my shitty preferences to Jean. Jus goin' from what Rogue might think of her. Plus that, I don't like flames, I'm very combustible! LOL! O_o
