Here we are back to Rogue and her journal. This is a continuation of the chapter " Going Crazy." If this is confusing please let me know.

**** Ch. 7 Thumb Wars and Still Crazy

Currently I'm sitting here at the far end of a big comfy couch in one of the common rooms. Writing feverishly, trying to get the sound of that damn motorcycle out of my head. Uh oh, Bobby just walked in which means I'll leave off here. Because I just know he is headed my way.

Rogue slipped a bookmark in between the pages she left off at and quickly closed the book. Tucking it in between her and the cushions of the couch. Bobby made a quick scan of the room and immediately headed in her direction. He sat down and for a couple minutes there was a pregnant pause as those in the room quietly watched the two of them. Trying to not be too obvious in their spying. It was unnecessary, as the two seemed to only be aware of each other. They didn't even realize that a caricature likeness of them was being drawn up mere feet away.

Instead the two began to talk and giggle quietly. Soon involved in the childish distraction known as Thumb War. Where one opponent tries to pin the other opponent's thumb using just his own. Then Bobby boldly turned the aggressor as he leaned in to the fallen southern belle. And just as it seemed that everyone was going to be treated to an interesting little show, the sound of a motor distracted his intended. Rogue turned her head around so fast she was in danger of suffering whiplash. Poor Bobby got treated to a shower of silky hair and a slight breeze whipping his lips and face. The crestfallen look his face took on would have been funny if anyone had noticed it but not a single person spared him a glance. Everyone's complete attention was focused on Rogue. It was little wonder. Nearly everyone had a pretty good idea what her distraction meant. And even those who didn't understand the cause where fascinated by the sudden changes in her demeanor. She looked, instantly, more alive and aware, happy and excited. The light in her eyes and face gave her the glow of the sun. As if her fondest wish had materialized before her very eyes.

Maybe it had. The sound of the lone motor grew steadily louder and then faded as it passed along side the residence. It was headed to the garage. Only someone familiar with the place would park in the garage. Could it be? Those who knew about the tags around her wrist wondered. But not for long, a quick peek at Rogue confirmed their suspicions. The Wolverine was back. She shot to her feet as if propelled by some unseen force and catapulted to the door. Saying only a single word before she was gone, "Logan!"
