Chapter 2 - "I Guess This Could Work"
Rogue's POV
After Ah thought about Ah figured the best way to ask Scott was to just ask him strait out. So Ah went to his room and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Scott asked.

"It's Rogue," Ah said.

"Okay. Hold on." Scott came out into the hallway.

"I have something to tell you," We said at the same time.

"You first," we both said.

"Uhhh," Scott said. "You go first."

"Okay. Scott Ah just came to tell you that if you don't wanna go to the prom with me it's okay. Ah can just go with one of the dorks that still goes to Bayville." Ah said.

"Oh...Well I was just coming to tell you that I would go with you. That it was stupid that I told you no without really thinking about it. But if you feel like that..." Scott said.

"No no. Ah still need a date and Ah don't wanna go with any of them other dorks." Ah said. "Thank you so much Scott. You don't know what this means to me."

"Not a problem. You're a friend, if there's anything else I can do just let me know." Scott said.

Suddenly Jean came around the corner. "Oh so is that how it is Scott? You won't take me anywhere but you'll take Rogue to her prom?" Scott stood there shocked; Jean turned to me, "And you! You know I go out with Scott. Why would you ask him?"

"Jean! Ah needed a favor. It's nothin'" Ah said.

"Yeah sure. You don't ask someone's boyfriend to your prom if you don't have feelings for him."

"Oh that's it," Ah said. I pulled my glove off and grabbed Jean's hand. Jean collapsed on the floor. "Oh ma god...."

"What?" Scott said as he knelt down over Jean.

"She's cheating on you!" Scott was completely shocked. Ah looked down at Jean and then back at Scott. Ah shook my head. "With Duncan. One of the memories I got showed her kissing him outside the ice cream shop. I'm sorry Scott."

"No. Thank you Rogue. I'm glad I know. Now I can say this the way I want to...Yes Rogue I'll go to the prom with you."

"THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" Ah said. Ah could have used Jean's powers to go inside his mind and see what he really thought, but Ah didn't want to invade his privacy.

"Like I said Rogue," Scott said. "Not a problem. When's your prom?"

"Next month. Oh man...Now Ah've got to find a dress. Listen Scott I'll talk to you later Ah have to go shopping." Ah ran off towards mah room leaving Scott and Jean (who is still on the floor) in the hallway. "Come on Kitty we've got to go shopping."

"Okay. Like let's go to the mall. I could like use a new pair of shoes." Kitty said.

Ah looked into the open closet. "Doubtful," Ah said surveying the pile of shoes that were spilling out of it.

"Did you say something?" Kitty asked as she fixed her ponytail. Ah shook mah head. "Okay ready." Kitty said grabbing her purse. Ah picked up mah wallet and shoved it in mah back pocket.

"We have ta ask Professor first," Ah reminded her. We found Professor X in his office. "Hey Professor, " Ah said. "Could me and Kitty go to the mall Ah have to look for some stuff."

"Of course Rogue. You have to be back by 10." He said.

"Ah know. Ah know. And could we...uhh..." Ah started.

"Yes, you can take the X-Jeep," He said.

"Thanks Professor." Ah said. We ran out to the garage. Ah took the keys for the X-Jeep. We got into the Jeep and started towards the mall.

"So Rogue what changed Scott's mind?" Kitty asked.

"How do you know that's why Ah want to go to the mall?"

"Because you never go. So what?"

"He said that it was stupid of him to say no without a real reason. And then Jean had been spying on us and she came out and started yelling at Scott. She accused me of trying to steal her boyfriend and Ah wasn't about to listen to that. So Ah took my glove off and touched her hand. It turns out she was cheating on him with Duncan. But don't tell any one that okay?"

"I won't. Like cross my heart." Kitty said.

We drove to the mall listening to various songs on the radio and singing a long to them. When Ah got to the mall entrance I sighed, "Looks like Ah've got mah work cut out fir me."

"The hardest part is finding a parking spot," Kitty said.
