XMEN EVOLUTION pt. 5 - Love at the Dance
The dance had started just less than an hour ago when the Xvan pulled into Bayville Highschool. The Xmen
had been running a bit late since the resturant they attended was quite slow in preparing their food. Otherwise
dinner had gone smoothly, but wasn't that exciting. The conversation was light and Rogue had barley said a
word. Now the Xmen all started walking to the gym where the dance was already under way. All the pretty
decorations made the gym look quite inviting. The Xmen walked towards the dancing area, a song had just
started up.
{Go on, go on, leave me breathless...Come on}
Kitty and Rogue immediatly looked at each other, both equally psyched. This was one of their favorite songs, it
was the song they had danced to so many times and they were eager to again.
"Lets dance!" Kitty exclaimed.
{The daylight's fading slowly, but time with you is standing still.}
{I'm waiting for you only, the slightest touch and I feel weak. }
{I cannot lie From you I cannot hide And I'm losing the will to try}
Gambit was surprised, but pleased to see that Rogue now showed more energy then she had all night. She was really
into the dance and looked so elegant with her hair up in. She had drawn the attention of many nearby dancers.
{ Tempt me, tease me, until I can't deny This lovin' feeling}
{ Make me long for your kiss Come on}
Halfway through the song Rogue realized that a lot of people were looking at her, she began to get nervous.
Gambit noticed the sudden change in her mood, he danced over to her,
"Chere you okay?"
"Why is everyone starin at me?"
Kitty then entered the conversation, "Rogue! Guess what, I was like talking with some of the girls over there and
they asked me who you were, and they couldn't believe that you are you."
It was true Rogue was barley matching her school apperance. Her bun covered parts of her white stripe, and she looked
so stunning. At first glance no one would guess that it was Rogue.
{Go on, go on, come on leave me breathless Go on, go on!}
That marked the end of the song and Rogue hurried off the dance floor, closely followed by Gambit.
"Chere you alright?"
"Ahm fine, ah just need some punch."
Gambit grabbed her arm to stop her in front of a buffet table, "Whoa slow down chere, the punch isn't gonna
go away any time soon. I didn't know you liked that kinda music."
She made a face at him, "Well ah am a country gal."
Gambit laughed, "Okay, well how bout Gambit goes to the rest room while you get your punch and will meet back here?"
"Okay" Rogue agreed.
....the boys restroom....
Gambit was about to enter the boys room when he couldn't help, but over hear a conversation between some guys.
"Did you see the girl, that new guy Remy is with, shes hot!"
"Man, I didn't get a chance to see her, but I heard about her, who is she?"
"I dunno, but dude who cares she's like a super modle or something."
Gambit smiled to himself as he entered the restroom.
....in line for punch....
As Rogue got her punch she overheard the two girls behind her talking.
"Theres that girl who came with Remy Lebeau."
"Who is she? I don't think she goes to our school."
Rogue quickly left the punch line with an upset look on her face.
"Hey chere, sorry I kept you waiting-are you sure your okay?"
Rogue was about to answer when Spyke and his sweet date Melanie approached them.
"Hey guys whats up?" Spyke greeted.
"Hey Evan, we were just takin a dancin break."
"This is my date Mel, Mel this is Gambit (gambit kissed her hand and grinned) and this is Rogue.
"Pleasure ta meet ya Mel, ya did a great job in selecting a date." Rogue shook her hand.
Melanie smiled, "Evan's great."
Spyke blushed, "Well were gonna go hit the dance floor, cya guys later." they left Gambit and Rogue and
proceeded to the dance floor.
Gambit turned to Rogue, "So did you do a good job selecting a date chere?"
"Ah didn't do any selectin remember?"
Gambit was about to snap a witty comeback when all of a sudden he heard...
"Remy! Remy you came!!"
Sue came up to them in a flower print dress, "Remy your here!" "How can you see w/ those shades on?"
"Bonjour Sue." Remy greeted not nearly excited as her, "This is my date Rogue."
Sue shook Rogue's hand enthusiasticly, "Hi Im Sue, I love your dress."
Rogue smiled, "Thanks"
Sue continued, "What school do you go to?"
Rogue began, "Actually ah-"
Sue interrupted, "Remy don't you owe me a dance? Rogue would you mind if I stole him away for just a couple songs?"
Rogue smiled again, "No not at all, ah never got any of that punch." Gambit looked at her in disbelief.
After finally being convinced by Rogue and Sue Gambit took Sue's arm and lead her to the dance floor. Rogue
watched with hidden jealousy as Sue and Gambit got down on the dance floor. Gambit was a really good dancer.
At the same time however, Rogue was happy to have gotten rid of Gambit for awhile. She had grown tired of
constantly hidding her uneasiness about being at another school dance. She had not for one second forgotten
what happen at the last dance she attended. She looked up to see if Gambit and Sue were done dancing when
she saw three boys approaching her. Two she didn't recongnize, one she did-Pietro.
Gambit was tired of dancing with Sue, they had be going on three songs now. He looked up to see what Rogue
was doing, but she had moved from her original spot. He continued dancing while his eyes secretly searched for
Rogue, he spotted her. She was with three other boys who seemed to be complimenting her. He looked closer
to realize one of the boys was Quicksilver and that he was trying to get her to take off her gloves. He couldn't
fully tell what was going on so he tried to dance in their direction with Sue. Suddenly he saw Rogue turn away
from the boys and quickly exited through the gym doors.
"Pardon moi chere, but Gambit must excuse himself." Gambit too made his way to the gym exits.
Meanwhile, Kurt and Kitty were having a great time. Once Kitty grew to accept Kurt's goofy dance moves she
was having a blast.
As for Scott and Jean, well once Jean said hi to all her friends (which took atleast an hour) Scott and her were
having a good time on the dance floor.
-Outside -
Gambit yelled, "Rogue! Rogue! Chere where are you, Gambit saw you come out here."
Then he heard a rustle in one large trees in front of the school, Gambit looked up. He saw her back facing him as she sat
on a branch of a tall oak tree.
"Chere come down here and talk to Gambit." He yelled.
Rogue turned around a little startled, "Not now Remy." her voice trailed off.
"Den Gambit will come up there." Gambit spoke as he began to climb the tree. Even though he had great balance it was
still a difficult task. Remy was lucky not to fall.
"Stupid Cajun, your gonna wind up breakin your neck." Rogue declared as Gambit situated himself next to her.
"For you chere I would risk anything."
"Ah don't get you."
"Whats ta get?" Remy asked.
"Why don't ya just go back in there and dance with Sue or another girl it would be---
"shhhhh" Remy scilenced her by gently bringing her own gloved hand to her mouth. "mebbe Gambit don't want to dance
with another girl, mebbe Gambit want to dance with you."
"Why?" Rogue blurted out confused.
Remy looked at her. ~shes beautiful he thought~ Gambit was searching for words as he tried to explain,
"Chere when your not hidin behind some mask, like at school......uh powers are no powers your the most beautiful person
inside and out and...dis be hard for even Remy ta say, but I never felt this way for another girl....he stopped to see her
staring at him, her emerald eyes wide open.
Rogue was so taken back, was he serious? She couldn't tell because his sunglasses were covering his eyes. Right
now she wanted to see his eyes so badly. She slowly caressed the side of his face with her gloved fingers. She
brushed away his aburn hair, then finally lifted his sunglasses off his face. Remy was sure his eyes would scare her
away so he shut them tightly, but he had to see what he though so slowly he opened them.
Red eyes meet Green for the first time.
All eitheir of them could do was stare, the tension had them lost for words.
Finally Rogue spoke, "Your eyes...there beautiful."
Gambit felt his heart beat quicken, not only did she seem to not mind his demonish eyes, she liked them.
Rogue continued, "You don't need these with me" and she dropped his sunglasses.
"Rogue, what I've been tryin to say is I love you."
Rogue put her hand to his lips and kissed the back of it. She was about to put down her hand when Gambit took hold
of it and kissed it. Rogue felt like she was going to melt.
Gambit continued caressing her hand, "Chere, I know somethings been wong the whole night and I saw Quicksilver talkin
to you..."
Rogue pulled her hand away and began, "The reason ah really didn't want to come here is that the last dance ah went to was
the worst experience of mah life." Her face grew pale. "It was at that dance ah touched a boy named Cody and found out what
a freak ah ahm. And all those boys did was bring out the pain ah've been tryin so hard not to show." she began to cry.
"Chere, Remys sorry...I didn't know..."
He held her in his arms, "No Remy its not your fault, you've made this evening a lot better than the one from mah past."
Gambit was into the scilenece of the moment when he heard music coming from the gym.
{I've never been so certain, I've never been so sure.}
{We're on the side of angels, if we believe, this love is pure.}
{There comes a time in every life, we find the heart, we're waiting for.}
He looked at Rogue with a spark in his eye, "Chere will you fly us down."
Rogue held Gambit in a warm embrace still as she flew to the ground. She was about to let go when he held on to her tightly.
She could feel his breathe tickle her ear as he whispered, "Rogue may I have dis dance?"
Rogue rested her head on his shoulder as they swayed together with the music, just the two of them under that oak tree.
For Rogue life had never been so perfect.
{Every time you touch me, don't you feel it too?}
{The dance of heaven's guiding eyes, you to me, me to you.}
