Chapter 5

(Henri and Mads are on that muy caliente couch again, morning light streams in from the right side of the frame)

"It's us again an' it's about 10:30 in de mornin'," said Henri.

"Our fathers are still in talks about land an' mah sister's wid dem-"

"Remy and Rogue are still asleep and Aunt Mattie has been in a constant battle wid de interior decorator all mornin', Dad's havin' de kitchen redone."

"It hasn't been a pleasant mornin' ta say de least," said Mads a little wearily.

Just then Remy appears behind the couch. Only his waist up is visible and it's a good thing too considering when he's at home Remy likes to sleep naked.

"Mornin' sunshine," greeted Henri sarcastically.

"Need screwdriver (An: a screwdriver is a mixed drink containing orange juice and vodka)-" a very groggy Remy managed to barely get out.

"NO!" scolded Henri, "De Dr. specifically said no liquor for 48 hours. Somtin' about de pain killer he gave you. Apparently you got too 'frisky' in de ER, non?"

"Quoi?! Oh," Remy said smirking, "Henri, it be too damn early for de jokes."

Henri and Mads exchanged confused looks.

"Remy, why are you 'ome?" asked Henri grabbing his brother's fore arm.

"Uh, Remy lives here," said Gambit giving his brother a 'what color is the sky in your world' look.

"You don' remember, do you?" said Henri.

"Remember what? Henri, dis game stupid!"

"Bro, a building fell on you-."

"An' your friend, she's sleepin' in de guestroom." added Mads.

"-you called me to pick you up from de 'ospital." Henri continued to try and jog his brother's memory.

Then it his Gambit all at once, "MON DUI, ROGUE!"

Henri kept Remy from running off, "Uh, bro why don' you put some pants on first."

"Here," Mads said lifting a pair of pants from below camera from a supposed laundry basket.

Gambit reluctantly put the pants on rolling his eyes as he took them from Mads, "Remy don' see why. Notin' de fille hasn't seen before."

With that having been said Remy simply walked off camera.

-----------------

"WHAT?!" roared Wolverine jumping to his feet, claws fully extended.

"Holy shit," said Scott in utter disbelief.

"I didn't see this coming," said Hank, who had been caught completely off guard.

"Goddess!" said Storm.

Professor X looked over at Wolverine and thought, "Things are looking up for the kitchen. I wonder if Jean Luc would give me the name of his interior decorator. The couch in his living room is rather impressive. (You know I had to work the couch in there somehow)"

-----------------

"WHAT?!" yelled Mystique, who by this time was up and around.

The Acolytes stared at the screen with open mouths.

Luckily, Sabertooth was able to grab Mystique before she ran down the hall to strangle Gambit in his sleep.

"Go Gambit!" said St John.

"Damn!" said Pietro slipping his twin a twenty.

"Victor put me down!" yelled Mystique as she struggled to get away.

Mesmero brought some rope over to Sabertooth.

"That's not going to hold her!" said Creed, "Go find some chains."

-----------------

(Meanwhile back on that quite handsome couch we now rejoin Henri and Mads who are both smiling deviously)

"While dey were asleep we planted cameras all over de house." said Henri.

"So, if we hooked dis up right de TV remote should automatically change the camera angel we're recording. Here goes notin'-"

[cut to the guestroom, Rogue is asleep on the bed. Remy enters quietly and sits down on the bed next to Rogue. He pulls a strand of hair off her face as she starts to wake up]

"Mornin', Chere," said Remy with a smile.

Everything was blurry at first as Rogue came to, but slowly Remy's face came into focus. She responded to his initial greeting by lifting her leg and taking it across Remy's face knocking him to the ground. She sat up, leapt off the bed and ran out the door.

[Cut to hall cam]

Rogue runs to the end of the hall and stops where the wall ends, "Ow, mah head."

She takes one look at Henri and Mads on the couch, hangs a sharp right into a closed door and goes down for the count. Rogue jumps to her feet when she hears Remy coming down the hall she hits the door with a side kick and nearly knocks it off its' hinges.

Remy rounds the corner and follows Rogue into the room.

Mads and Henri look at each other in horror, "OH SHIT!"

Wouldn't you know it the one room Rogue chooses to take sanctuary in is the exact same room Jean Luc and Magnus were holding their meeting in. Henri and Mads leapt to their feet and ran in after the dynamic duo.

[cut to meeting room cam]

Rogue dove across the oak and cherry table flawlessly, landing on a dime, while Gambit attempted to follow her, but took out an entire stake of papers and maps as well as a pitcher of ice tea and four crystal glasses. He got to his feet, grabbed Rogue around the waist and hoisted her over his shoulder.

"What is de meanin' of dis?" Jean Luc demanded.

"Put me down, Gambit!" yelled Rogue as struggled to get loose.

"Who de hell is she?" demanded Magnus.

"It's jus' Rogue, Dad, Remy's friend," Mads explained quickly.

"Friend? Ha! More liahke enemy," said Rogue as she continued to squirm.

"Quio?" asked Gambit setting Rogue on her feet, "If we be enemies den Cher be a damn good actress after dat 'ride' in de squad car.

"Look," said Rogue faking right, "Ah don't Ah don't know where Ah am or whay Ah'm here, but Ah'm not stayin'!"

Rogue dove through Gambit's legs and ran out the door with him on her heels.

"I don' know what you two be doin', but I want in," said Belle looking at Henri and Mads, although never losing her regal air as she sat beside her father.

Rouge doubled back through the living room and hung a left into the kitchen.

Belle, Henri and Mads went into the livingroom having been thrown out of the meeting by their fathers.

"Where'd dey go?" asked Mads frantically.

(From the kitchen)

"Easy, Cher, put de nail gun down!"

"Gambit, Ah don't know wheah the rest rest of the X-Men are or what you've don to them, but you can be damn sure Ah'm gonna find out!"

"Merede!" yelled Remy followed by a borage of nails hitting a wall.

"Oh, she's a keeper," said Belle with a wicked smile.

"Damn!" said Henri turning to Mads, "I knew we should have put a camera in de kitchen!"

CRASH!

"So much for de shelving." Gambit's voice could be heard, "What de hell did Remy land on?"

The next noise from the kitchen sounded like an average electric razor on steroids going about mach 6.

"Oh, mah Gawd, run away power sander!" screamed Rogue.

Belle, Mads and Henri looked at each other in alarm. Things were shaping up to another trip to the ER when Rogue came flying out of the kitchen and sprinted past the rather baffled trio and out of the camera angle.

"Non, Cher, dat's de balcony!" yelled Remy as he ran out of the kitchen still shirtless and still with the power sander going at full blast.

Remy charged toward charged toward the balcony at full speed.

[Balcony Cam]

Unfortunately Remy was going too fast and tripped on the threshold of the sliding glass door. Her went flying, rather un-gracefully, through the air. Taking Rouge with him their combined velocity took out the balcony railing and they went, not to mention out of the camera frame.

Mads ran out on the balcony, "Dey're Ok dat dumpster broke dier fall!" she yelled over her shoulder.

Henri ran out and handed Mads a video camera and walkie talkie "Here, record dem in de dumpster and tell me when dey come 'round the building," he turned to Belle, "Put dis necklace on, it's a camera and come wid me!"

[Dumpster Cam]

"Get yer carcass offa me!" yelled Rogue.

Rogue shoved Remy to one side and leapt out of the dumpster. She wasted no time in tearing off around the building.

[Balcony Cam]

"Der on de move-Repeat dey're on de move!" said Mads into the walkie talkie.

[Front of the Building- Necklace Cam]

Rogue came tearing around the side of the building, but started to slow down as the pain killer began to wear off. It wasn't but a split second before Remy rounded the corner and caught up to her. This time he was taking no chances when she spun around to face him. Gambit grabbed Rogue around the waist and the back and held her until the she calmed down.

"Remy don' know what you runnin' from, Chere, do you see any 'o de Acolytes?"

"No, but Ah don't see any of the X-men either!"

"Dat's because dere not here were at my house."

"What? Whay?"

"Apparently a building fell on us." said Remy.

"So that would make this meeting-" Rogue ventured.

"Pleasure, not business, Chere." said Gambit.

"Are you two finished? People are starting ta stare an' you reek!" said Belle looking down her nose.

"Cher, my arranged fiancé, Belle. We're not necessarily on speakin' terms."

[3 Hours Later-Living Room Cam]

All three of them: Henri, Mads and Belle exchanged bewildered glances as they stood behind the couch gazing down at Rogue on top of Gambit, both being sound asleep. Then all three look into the camera.

"Dey took showers an' put on clean clothes-" Belle looked to her sister.

"Dey watched cartoons for 'bout an hour-" Mads turned to Henri.

"Den Dey fell asleep." he paused, "We don' get it."

"Don' worry chil'en I'll explain it to you when you older," said a large, but very attractive, African-American woman carrying a laundry basket through the frame.

"Dat's Aunt Mattie you'll see more of her later," explained Henri.

(A.N.: Ok, I've never seen a picture of Aunt Mattie so you guys have to help me here. I've never even read a description. Is my description accurate? I really have no idea and I don't want to offend anyone, I'm sorry if the Mounties did.)

-------------------

"I don't get it either," said Pietro.

"Neither do I." admitted Wanda.

The rest of younger members of the Acolytes were pretty much in the dark as well.

"You're not supposed to get it. That's all you need to know!" warned Mystique.

-------------------

The younger X-men were pretty much in the same boat.

Finally Kitty confessed, "I don't get it either."

"Good!" growled Wolverine.

I'm sorry, but these chapters are taking longer to write because there is more to tell. So, please just bare with me. I'm trying to go as quickly as possible, but at the same time I also want to make chapters enjoyable to read.

Next up: Day 2- Shopping for clothes

Rogue has no clothes except her uniform and that kind of attracts some unwanted attention in public.
