Rogue and Pietro were making their way back to the mansion. Pietro
was thankfully walking at a normal pace so that Rogue could keep up with
him. The silence that had surrounded them on their walk home was finally
broken by Pietro. "You-know-I'm-not-mad-at-you-don't-you-Roguie?" His
nervousness making his voice speed up. Before she had a chance to reply he
continued. "Its-just-that-the-thought-of-him-thinking-he-could-touch-you-
like-that. It-drove-me-a-lil-crazy. I-know-you-wish-were-normal-and-that-
you-could-touch-everyone-and-a-part-of-me-wants-you-to-have-that-so-that-
you-could-be-happy, but-another-part-of-me-likes-being-the-only-one-who-can-
touch-you. I-guess-I'm-just-possesive-like-that." He was now looking down
at his feet, kicking pebbles as he walked.
Slipping off her glove, Rogue caught Pietro's bare hand in her own. "I know Piety. I'm sorry to. It makes me so mad though. Why did he have to steal my damn bike?" Pietro chuckled pulling her into his arms and giving her a long hard kiss. "Don't worry darlin'.We'll think of something and get it back," Pietro said in a calmer voice. 'Not that I really wouldn't mind it staying gone.' He thought to himself, not daring to voice his opinion. With one last kiss the two lovers continued on their walk back to the mansion.
They had barely set foot inside the mansion when Evan came around the corner, phone in hand. "There you are Rogue. You've got a phone call." Taking the receiver Rogue flopped into the nearest chair. "Hello?" "Rogue? It's Risty. Bloody hell you sound horrible are you okay?" Rogue's mood fell even lower at the thought of having to explain her situation to her best friend, but before she could begin her tale Risty interrupted her. "I saw what happened at the mall. I just wanted to call and see if you were all right."
Rogue's anger began to boil over, "Alright? Alright? You said you were at the mall, didn't ya hear what went on?" She could hear Risty's giggles through the phone. "You mean that part where that hottie bar-be- qued you like baby back ribs? That's all foreplay love, don't worry about it. You'll get him next time." Rogue lept out of the chair and began pacing back and forth, her hands fluttering wildly around her. "Hottie? That ass hole stole my bike!" The phone was silent for a minute and then Risty replied. "You mean your motorcycle? Bloody hell, forget foreplay you got screwed." (A/N: From the movie Evolution, with the aliens and Arizona??)
Evan pulled Pietro into the nearby hall as Rogue continued to rant and rave on the phone with Risty. "Some one stole the bike Logan gave her?" Evan asked. The look on his face was begging Pietro to tell him it wasn't true. Glancing into the living room at the furious Rogue Pietro nodded his head. "Someone sure did. That chump of Magneto's, Gambit." Evan dropped his head into his hands groaning. "Naw naw naw, this can't be true. She's gonna be hell to live with man."
Pietro gave him the 'do I look like I don't know that' look. "Ya think Spikers?" The sound of approaching footsteps stopped him mid comment. "Aw hell, here comes Scott, quick snag Rogue so he won't see her and find out about the bike." Now it was Evan's turn to give Pietro the 'do I look that stupid' look. "No way, I've seen this movie. The black dude dies first. You snag her." (A/N: Once again from the movie Evolution.)
Pietro pushed Evan toward the stairs as he turned back towards the living room. "Okay, just stop him and quick." Pietro raced into the living room and tore the phone out of Rogue's hand. "Catch-you-later-Risty- gator." He spoke quickly before hitting the end button. Rogue's jaw fell open in anger, "How dare you?" Slapping a hand over her mouth Pietro pulled Rogue down into a chair and sat her on his lap. "Now-look-here- Missy-Dear. If-you-want-to-exact-revenge-in-your-own-way-you-better-settle- down-now-and-settle-fast-'cause-the-one-eyed-wonder-is-about-walk-through- that-archway." Rogue's jaw worked as she tried to comprehend what he had just said. She glanced over her shoulder and saw Evan stalling Scott. "Oh shit Sugah." Rogue quickly slouched down next to Pietro and threw her arms around the young man just in time as Scott entered the room. A look of disgust crossed his face when he saw Rogue sitting on Pietro's lap. He hated it when they performed 'public displays of affection'; probably because he could never work up the guts to make a move on Jean, public or other wise. Stifling a giggle Rogue slid off of Pietro's lap and took a seat on the arm of the chair. "What's up Fearless Leader?" She asked. "I just wanted to tell you that there won't be a DR session tonight. The Professor got a lead on a new mutant, and he is taking Jean and I along with him and Logan to see if we can talk him into coming with us." "Hey-that's-great-man," Pietro said as he sat up straighter. "Rougie and I wanted to go out tonight. There's a new restaurant opening up downtown. You don't mind if we go right?" Rogue tried not to look at Pietro, concentrating instead on Scott's answer. This was the first thing she had heard about going out that night. She had figured Pietro would want to keep her at the Institute so she wouldn't try and hunt down that bastard Remy. "I think the Professor would rather you stay in tonight. You know how much he hates it when students go out on the spur of the moment." Pietro slouched back into the chair and began to pout. Scott shrugged his shoulders in apology, but the tiny smile making its way across his face was obvious. He had just turn to leave the room when Pietro called out. "Hey man what about next Saturday?" Scott stopped and turned around, "What about it?" Pietro out his business face one. The one he used when ever her tried talking someone into doing what he wanted. "I know I guy at the dance club downtown. I finally talked him into hooking me and letting me have one of the lower stages. I figured I could take Rougie out dancing. We would have the stage to ourselves and there wouldn't be any risk of her getting hurt." Scott stroked his chin in consideration and then nervously ran his hand through his hair. "I don't know about this Pietro, but I'll talk to Professor X about it ok?" Pietro nodded his head and Scott left the room. Rogue waited until he was out of ear shot. She even got out of the chair and peeked around the door frame to make sure he was gone before she turned back to Pietro. "What the hell was that about?" Pietro grabbed her hands before she began to frantically gesture with them and pulled her once again into his lap. "I knew he wouldn't let us out tonight, but I figured after one disappointment he would at least give us a chance at going out next weekend." Rogue's brow furrowed in confusion, "You lost me Sugah. What does next weekend have to do with anything? I mean sure I would love to go dancing with ya but I want to find me bike." Pietro leaned forward and kissed the pout that had formed on her lips. "Oh we'll get to dancing alright, and we can get your bike back at the same time. Lance and I can get our connections going at school, and I'm sure before the week is out someone will have found that scruffy haired, no fashion sense, did you buy those shoes at Payless, wussy boy Gambit for us." Seeing the even further confused look on Rogue's face Pietro sighed. "We'll get him to come to the club, and then I'll let you have him my pet." Rogue's face brightened at the thought. "How in the devil are we going to pull this off though?" Pietro grinned, "Leave it to your handsome, oh so brilliant boyfriend. Evan knows about the bike, he heard you on the phone. I'm sure he'll help keep this off of Scooter and Miss. Prissy's radar. You might want to tell Kitty so she and Kurt can help him. Lance, Freddy, and Toad can help we work the channels at school. Even your friend Risty could come in handy. Some one has got to have an idea of where that guy hangs. All we have to do is find that person and enlist them to bring Remy to us." Rogue's smile spread across her face. She knew that she loved this man very much, but she was always surprised when he did something to make her love him anymore. Leaning back she snuggled deeper into his arms. Thinking about the upcoming weekend, and exactly how she would spend it.
A/N : Okie Dokie, here is the next part. I don't like it as much as some of the other stuff, but it'll get better I promise. The next part I'm going to write is going to be from Remy's point of few after he leaves the mall. Just so you.!! Review please and tell me what you think!!
