Chapter 4: A Mall, A Goth, and A Fairy Godmother
Ah stared up at the three floors of the Bayville Galleria (A/n i Think that's what the sign said in "The Hex Factor"). Kitty was right; parking was hard to fihnd. It took me fifteen minutes to find a parking space. And Ah swear to God it was a mile away from the building. "Kitty," Ah said. "Please tell me you know what you are doing."
"Like of course I do Rogue." Kitty said. "It's not like I haven't been here enough. Now let go in here."
Kitty pointed to a store. As she drug me in there Ah looked at the name... CHANEL. "Kitty," Ah said breaking her grasp on my arm. "Ah can't afford this."
"Don't worry, neither can I. We're just looking here. To get some idea of what kind of dress you like," Kitty said.
"It's not about what Ah lihke. It's about what covers me. All of these dresses are backless, sleeveless, and pink. Ah cannot where stuff lihke that. Especially the pink."
"Oh fine! We'll go to one of the bridal shops. They have lost of nice dresses." Kitty drug me out of the store and into the next.
*****16 stores and 4 a half hours later*****
"Oh Kitty please not another one," Ah whined. After four and a half-hours of shopping with the valley girl Ah was exhausted. "So far all we've gotthen is four pairs of shoes, six shirts, and two pairs of pants all for you. Kitty Ah haven't found one thing for me. Not a dress, not shoes, not anything. Ah want to go home."
"Please just one more store," Kitty said. "I promise. And you know I can't go to the mall without buying something. Now I know a store you will love."
Ah followed Kitty in to small store. "Wow Ah didn't even know this place was here."
"Most people don't. This place has a lot of clothes. It's really small though so most people don't show here."
"What's it called again?" Ah asked.
"Ummmm.... Styles By Dani. They have really great stuff. Now if we could get some help."
A short woman with auburn hair came over. "Hi. I am Dani. How can I help you?" she asked.
"Well my friend her is looking for a prom dress," Kitty said.
"Okay that shouldn't be a problem. We have lost of dresses," Dani said.
"Okay. First of all Ah don't do pink. Ah prefer a long sleeved gown." Ah said.
"Sure. Let's see what I can find you," Dani said. Kitty and Ah watched as she dashed around picking dresses off of several racks. She came back a few minutes later with an armload of dresses. She set them down on the counter. "Now. You can look through these and if you like one just tell me and I can open a dressing room."
The minute she walked off Kitty began to dig through the pile. She showed the ones she liked to me. Ah hated them all. Kitty was down to the last five or so dresses and Rogue was bored out of her skull. Kitty reached for the next one, "It's perfect," She said. "Rogue look."
"Oh mah gosh," Ah said. The dress was green velvet with long sleeves it had gold trim around the bottom of the dress and sleeves. (A/n it's kind hard to describe this dress so here's a link to a picture of it: ) Ah took the dress from Kitty, "Well Ah should try it on."
Dani came over and unlocked a dressing room for me. After Ah shut the door Ah changed into the dress. It fit me perfectly. I opened the door of the dressing room and stepped out. "Oh my gosh! You look beautiful Rogue!" Kitty exclaimed.
"You really think?" Ah asked looking at mahself in the mirrors.
"Yeah. Like totally. You have to get it."
"Okay." Ah went back into the dressing room and took the dress off. Ah came out redressed and headed for the register. Dani rung up the dress... "Four hundred dollars! Kitty Ah can't afford that." Kitty bit her bottom lip and looked down at the floor. Ah turned back to Dani... "Ah'm sorry. Ah can't afford this. Ah apologize for wastin your tihme." Ah set the dress on the counter grabbed Kitty's arm and left the store.

(Back in Styles by Dani. NO POV)
Unbeknownst to Kitty and Rogue they were being watched by Mystique.
Mystique shook her head quietly as she watched Rogue and Kitty leave. She was disguised as a mall shopper. Mystique entered to shop as a teenager. Dani came over to her, "Hi, I'm Dani. How can I help you?"
"I'm looking for a prom dress. Preferably in green," she said. Dani nodded she returned with many green dresses. Mystique pretended not to be interested in any of them. She looked around the room and saw the dress Rogue had just tried on, "What about that one?"
"Oh," Dani said. "I forgot about that." Mystique could tell she was hoping Rogue would come back and buy it. Dani brought the dress over to Mystique.
Mystique looked at it as if she was really deciding whether or not to but it. After a minute she said: "I'll take it." Once again Dani rung up the dress. Mystique took out her wallet and gave the four hundred dollars to Dani, who appeared quite shocked. Mystique picked up the bag with dress in it and left the mall.
As soon as she was away from the crowds Mystique transformed into an eagle. She held the bag tightly in her claws as she flew toward the institute. Mystique hoped she would make it back before Rogue and Kitty.

(Institute garage. Rogue's POV)
Ah slammed the jeep door shut and walked out of the garage with out as much as a word to Kitty. Ah was so mad. Ah know it wasn't her fault but Ah was just so upset. That dress was perfect for me but where would Ah get $400.
Ah stormed through the mansion up to mah room. Ah pushed open the door and flicked on the lights. "Oh mah god!" to my surprise on the bed lay the green dress. Ah walked over and picked it up to make sure Ah wasn't dreaming. As Ah picked the dress up a piece of paper fluttered to the floor, Ah bent down and pick that up as well. It read:
Dear Rogue,
Think of this as gift. You deserve to be happy.
Your Prom only comes once. Enjoy.
Your Fairy Godmother.
