Best Laid Plans Chapter 5The Girls
Things were coming together…the dresses were picked out…the flowers ordered…the cake picked…the food was "handled" by Dominoe's Pizza and Remy…there were just a few little things left…like bridesmaids.
"Who are you going to pick Rogue?"
"Ah have a few ideas shugah…just relax, and ah'll tell yah. Promise not tah to get spooked or nothing?"
"Of course I won't, I mean, you didn't freak when I wanted Penance as one of my bridesmaids now did you?"
"Well…"
"Oh come on, it's not that hard!"
"Ah want Ororo and Kitty…"
"That's easy, we'll ask them."
"And ah want Carol Danvers…Binary."
"What the Hell???? You can't be serious???"
In tears, Rogue left the table, leaving Jubilee gaping.

The mansion was abuzz with talk "Carol? Binary? What is she thinking?" The murmurs followed Remy as he walked down the hall to their bedroom. The door was locked, and he could hear muffled sobbing. Sighing, he knocked "Chere? You be letting your roguish fiancé in?"
The crying stopped and he heard her walk across the room. The door clicked open and she looked wanly up at him "'ello Shugah"
Grinning Remy stepped into the room and closed the door behind himself "The mansion be t'inkin that the weddin be getting to you…"
"Ah know they think that…but this is somethin ah need tah do! Ah need tah show her that ah can be someone worthwhile! Ah can!"
"Hush chere, Gambit no like to hear you say such t'ings bout yourself. Gambit know you worthwhile, why else he want to marry you neh? But if it mean dat much, he find the flamin girl." Sighing he wrapped his arms around Rogue.

Remy was looking for Kitty, the resident computer genius. He found her in the communications room, feeding her dragon while surfing the net. "Petite? Can Gambit ask for a favor?'
"Sure thing Remy, hang on a sec…whatcha need?"
"Well, you see, Gambit promised to find the Binary girl for Rogue…and he be needin help. Last Remy heard she was hangin wit the Star Jammers…"
"You are a bit behind Remy…last I heard she was back on Earth and using the name Warbird with the Avengers…I'll see if I can track her down though. Why do you need to find her?"
"You haven't heard the mansion petite? She be invited to de weddin, as a bridesmaid." Remy waited, expecting Kitty to burst out laughing…
She didn't. She smiled at Remy and said "That's wonderful! I know Rogue feels that she needs to prove herself to Carol…it wonderful your helping her."
Remy was shocked, and taken a bit by surprise "You know what petite? Gambit t'ink you you be the first one to agree wit us…" Laughing softly, he walked out.
* * * *
Rogue walked into the kitchen, Jubilee was sitting with her head slumped in her hands. "What's wrong now shugah?"
"Logan said he can't stand Monet…I used to agree but she's changed…I want her as a bridesmaid! It'll be like old times! Paige, Monet, Penance, and me, all together…"
"Listen shugah, he can't stop you! They're your friends! If Remy would go to the ends of the earth tah find Carol, then Logan can at least put up with Monet!"
"He's looking for Carol for you?"
Rogue smiled softly "Yeah"
Jubilee sniffed and wiped her face "He must really love you Rogue…"
"Wait till ah tell him Raven's comin tah see the ceremony…"
