Chapter Six: Three's A Crowd
Marina and the X-men girl's had decided to spend the whole day shopping at the mall in the city. The mall was huge, a major tourist attraction. Tons of shops with anything and everything a shopper's heart desired. The group had separated; Marina and Storm who had become fast friends and had gone to get their nails done. Kitty, Jean, and Amara went to the Gap to look at the adorable bathing suits. Tabby, Jubilee, and Rahne went to the Bath and Body Works store. While, Rogue and Damia decided to check out the surf supply shop. Rogue looked at all the boards; she was amazed at how beautiful the designs were. She had signed up for the competition as well. She knew she had no chance at winning but she wanted to do it just for the fun of it. Besides she had enjoyed surfing and found she was pretty good at it.
"Here, try this on." Damia had popped up behind Rogue with a pair of black border shorts in her hand with a green skull on them.
Rogue smiled, they had an edge to them and would match her top perfectly. Rogue took the shorts and went to the dressing room. Damia continued to look at the shorts, until she found a pair she liked. They were a dark green and had a cool black design on them. The design was roses and vines with thorns. Damia knocked on Rogue's door to tell her she'd be in the room next to her. Rogue was the first out and she looked in the mirror, she liked how the short fit her. She waited for Damia to come out and show her. As she waited she looked out across to the walkway of the mall. She was surprised at who she saw: John. She wondered if Remy was there with him. But when she observed the store that they were at she realized that Remy wasn't with him. It was a woman's clothes store, with really lovely dresses, and other clothes. John appeared to be by the changing rooms, she saw a blonde haired girl come out in a black dress, which had no sleeves and a slit about two inches from the waist. Rogue realized who it was, John's old 'mate' Tina. Rogue watched the two; it seemed he was helping her shop. ^^That's all he better do. ^^ She thought as she watched them. Rogue was brought out of her spying by Damia's question of 'how do I look?' Rogue turned and saw her friend, she gave her a smile. "Looks good sugah."
Damia smiled and replied "I like them on you. Now you can never tell me I do not have good taste."
Rogue laughed "Ah guess not." She didn't know about her friend's choice in men at the moment.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
As the woman across the table from Ororo did her nail's the two women talked a great deal. Ororo had found out many things about Damia through Marina, as well as some things about the professor. The weather witch could tell that there was something bothering her friend. She didn't want to say anything, but she knew that it would eventually be brought up and why not sooner rather than later.
"I sense that there is something on your mind." Ororo said lightly to her friend.
Marina gave a weak smile. "Well, from what I have found out from Charles, this Tina girl has the power to create illusions. She could be a hard foe, if on the other side." Marina said softly so no one could hear.
Ororo gave a slight nod. "I have thought of it as well, and I have wanted to talk with the team about it. Unfortunately so far I have not had the time to do so."
"I wonder if Charles has read her thoughts." Marina pondered out loud.
"He has tried, but it is a jumble. That says a lot, if you consider the source." Ororo replied seriously.
"I purpose when we have finished this relaxation, we call a team meeting." Marina suggested.
Ororo nodded in reply. "When we are finished." She smiled as she saw her freshly manicured nails. A large smile crossed the woman's features. "Up for a massage?"
Marina smiled "Yes." And the two women walked giddily over to the store across from the nail salon, and set an appointment. Not many clients were there, so the women quickly went to the back room, and enjoyed a lovely relaxing rub.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
"Where are they?" Damia asked impatiently. She and Rogue had arrived at the arranged meeting spot, for their ride home. They had been there for at least fifteen minutes, and she was getting greatly annoyed. She wanted to go for a surf, before she went to bed. She was going to work with Rogue on her surfing for the competition the next day.
"Same time as Ah told ya ten seconds ago!" Rogue told her friend firmly. Her friend had already asked her about twenty times.
Damia scanned the area around them, looking for any evidence of their team mates. She saw a girl in the distance with two others with her. As the girl's came closer she could figure out who they were. It was Jean, Amara and Kitty. When the three girls were in speaking range, the others had arrived on the opposite side.
"Twas as lovely day." Rahne smiled happily.
"Like totally." Kitty agreed. "So are we like all here?"
"That's affirmative." The sandy haired woman replied. "Now before we get on the bus, Ororo and I would like to speak with you on a subject that we think is very important."
"Shoot sugah." Rogue said wanting to get back to the hotel. She had a double date with Remy and herself, and Damia and John. Kurt and Kitty might be coming as well; it was yet to be decided. Kurt wasn't sure if he liked the idea of being on a date at the same place with his sister.
"We would like each of you to be on your guard around Tina. We think that she might be a potential threat. We are not positive yet, but we would like to be safe. So is it understood that you all are on your toes while around her?" Ororo told them.
The girls nodded in understanding. "Great, now let's get back. I hear some of you have dates." Marina replied eyeing Damia, and Rogue who both blushed. The girls hopped onto the bus and rode back to the hotel.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Damia used the key to unlock the door to their hotel room, when it opened her and Rogue entered the room. Rogue plopped down onto her bed the things she had bought on their day out. She quickly scrimmaged through one of the bags and got the boarder shorts. She knew she'd need the after her date. A thought had been tearing at her brain all day and she just had to let it out so she could relieve herself of it. She looked at her friend, the girl's long curly dark green hair swayed as she scurried around the room getting ready for the date that she had with John in thirty minutes.
A smile crossed Rogue's lips as she watched her friend, but it quickly faded to a more serious expression. "Damia."
Damia stopped what she was doing and looked at Rogue "Yes?"
Rogue got up off of her bed and walked over to the girl. "Well, Ah have ta tell ya somethin."
"And that would be?" She asked as she gave her a look that said just-tell- me-now.
"While we were at the mall, Ah saw John shoppin with that Tina girl." Rogue replied.
"Were they doing anything?" Damia was a bit worried but if shopping was all they were doing, and she was sure it was most likely friendly stuff.
"Shoppin." Rogue told her.
"Well, then I am sure that it was just that." Damia replied, and got back to getting ready. Rogue just sighed and went back to getting herself ready as well. Rogue walked to the bathroom, and grabbed the knob, but before she turned it to open the door to the bathroom. A knock on the hotel room door sounded, Rogue walked to the door seeing that Damia was a little indecent at the moment. She cracked the door open slightly and peered out. It was Tina, John and Remy. She eyed the blonde and noticed the girl was in a black dress that looked exactly like the one she had seen from the mall. Rogue raised an eyebrow at the girl who just gave the girl a little smirk. Rogue wanted to leap at the girl punch her smack dab in the jaw, but she composed herself into not doing it.
Remy noticed his girlfriend's distrust for Tina, and decided to ease the tension. "Ready to go chere?"
"Sorry Cajun, but we aren't ready yet. Ya'll will have ta wait." Rogue gave them a smile that said piss-off, and shut the door in their faces. She heard the knock on the door again but ignored it. Damia heard the knock but knew if Rogue didn't want to answer it that it was best not to be answered. When the two were ready to go, they opened the door, and exited their room. They both stood in front of three annoyed faces, well Remy's was more amused than annoyed.
"What are you staring at?" Damia asked, she had noticed Tina and chose to ignore the girl. The only problem was; how do you ignore the girl who was hanging on her boyfriends other arm.
They were all dressed rather formally. Rogue had on a spaghetti strapped lavender dress that stopped just before the knees. She wore panty hose, and had on matching lavender gloves. The dress matched her usual lavender make up, except it wasn't as thick as she would usually wear. Both Remy and John had on a pair of nice pants, and a white dress shirt. They had on nice Sunday shoes, and looked very handsome. Damia had on a soft golden dress, which matched the color of her eyes. It was strapless, and the bottom reached the floor, it had a long slit on the left that reached up to her thigh about five inched from her waist. Both she and Rogue looked drop dead gorgeous, but then again when didn't they? Tina looked very pretty but she couldn't compare to the two and she knew it. The five got into the elevator and waited till it landed on the bottom floor, they stepped into the lobby. Their was a group of college boys, who gave catcalls as the girl walked by. Damia heard a shout that sounded like you get tired of that loser honey come see me. A smirk crossed her lips and her eyes caught Rogue's the two were both thinking the same exact thing. Both girl's turned from exiting the hotel and walked over to the group of young men. They were rather attractive.
"Hi ya'll." Rogue gave them a lovely smile.
"Hi yourself." A guy with light brown hair replied and walked toward her. "What's a lovely thing like you doing with an ugly thing like that?"
Rogue just smiled. "Well, Ah don't honestly know. But when Ah do ah'll get back to ya."
"What are you two young things doing here anyway?" Another asked eyeing Damia hungrily. Remy and John with Tina on his arm came cover.
"Vacation. You?" Damia replied sweetly.
"Surfing competition." One replied.
"How bout that," Rogue said happily "we are goin ta be it the competition also."
"You surf?" the blonde eyed Damia, who nodded. John and Remy faced the guys.
Remy smiled politely "Would you mind if Remy could have his chere back now? Oui?"
The guy who stood next to Rogue glared at Remy who just stood their smiling. "I think that she can decide for herself."
Rogue smiled at Remy "Well, Ah have ta go, as well as mah friend so we will see ya'll at the sufin competition." Rogue waved goodbye, as they walked away.
"Chere, you shouldn't tease dem." Remy chastised her playfully.
Rogue just smirked, and continued to walk.
Damia was lost in though, "Weren't Kitty and Kurt going to join us?"
John nodded and told her "Their meeting us there, along with Alex."
Damia could hear the annoyed tone in his voice when he said the boy's name. She could have cared less, she did not care one bit about how John felt at the moment. She wasn't exactly happy with him at the moment, and his feelings weren't on the top of her priority list. They walked into a very fancy restaurant, and were seated by Kitty, Kurt, and Alex by the hostess. John pulled out a chair for both Damia and Tina, who accepted the gesture. Remy did the same thing, making Rogue smile.
"Hi ya'll." Rogue smiled at her brother, Kitty, and Alex. Kitty looked wonderful; she had on a pale blue dress, which had small crystal stones stitched into it. Her hair was pulled into a bun, and had small curls hanging lose.
"Like what took you so long?" Kitty asked.
Damia smiled and told her valley girl friend. "Some nice guys in the hotel lobby."
"Oh." Kitty squealed "Well like do what you have to do."
"Vell, vat do you vant to eat?" Kurt asked Kitty.
"This place must be expensive." Alex said as he looked at the menu, then at the three forks next to his empty plate.
Damia smiled "I'll show you." Damia had been to many class dinners because of her father holding a high government position. So she knew which utensil to use and which not to.
When everyone had ordered from the menu, the conversation began. Alex had learned which fork went to what, as well as some other dinning tips. John had ordered a bottle of champagne with Remy's help.
"I've like never had champagne before." Kitty said as she took a sip. Damia couldn't help but laugh.
"Kitty that isn't how you hold it." Damia corrected her friend. Damia demonstrated the proper way to hold the champagne glass. John couldn't help but smile as he saw how dainty his girlfriend was.
"Well, chere someone taught you well." Remy smiled at Damia, who gave him a winning smile.
"Yeah, where'd you learn that?" Tina asked. She didn't like Damia, as she knew that Damia didn't like her. "You go to prissy school?"
Damia frowned and replied "Well, unlike some my family thought that a young woman should be knowledgeable of these things, as well as to know how to kick ass."
John cleared his throat, and Tina gave a falsely sweet smile "I guess your very useful then."
Damia glared at the girl, she felt a hand on her shoulder. It was Alex. He smiled at her and asked "Would you like to dance?" There was a band playing a slow song in the background.
She smiled at him and questioned "Should I teach you the waltz?"
Alex gave her a playful smile "I think I'll teach you." Alex had learned many dances from one of his old girlfriends. In fact he was a rather excellent dancer. The two walked onto the dance floor. Alex put his hand onto Damia's slender hip, and the other clasped her hand. She put her hand on his shoulder, and held his hand with her other one. They began the waltz, with the one two three four box step. She was surprised at how well Alex danced.
She smiled "Very impressive."
"I've only begun." He winked and twirled her, then pulled her into a dip. Instead of staying in one place as the other couples did, they moved around the floor in circles. They danced like a couple in a fairytale, like Cinderella and Prince Charming.
John just frowned and continued to eat. Tina sensed his tension and stated "They look so cute together."
Kitty glared at the blonde Aussie. "Like do you know how to like dance?"
"Not that way." Tina replied.
"Then like shut up." Kitty gave the girl a smile, and continued her conversation with Kurt.
The music stopped and the couples on the floor clapped. The band started up again and the dance was the Tango. Surprisingly the two stayed on the dance floor. Alex and Damia moved as one, doing dips, turns, and other moves.
"Wow." Kitty smiled as she watched them.
"De homme can dance." Remy smirked.
"Tango, very impressive." Tina eyed the two on the floor.
"It's a hard dance, very sexual, and seductive. It is de dance of lovers." Remy said with his sexy Cajun accent. They watched as Alex and Damia danced, they were very close to one another. When he dipped her toward the floor, her legs were under his groin pressing against it, as he lowered her; his head was close to her breasts. She came up quickly, her chest pressed against his. They were both breathing deeply. What Remy said was true, it was a very sexually dance. The movements seemed like love making. Each move hitting a certain spot making the dancer hot. When the dance was over they noticed that the entire restaurant was clapping for them. Apparently they had had the whole floor to themselves, as others watched intensely. The two walked back to the table, and sat down.
"That was like so beautiful." Kitty squealed.
Damia and Alex both blushed. They both had gotten a little turned on by the Tango. But, it wasn't their fault that is the power of the dance. Damia saw the way John was eyeing her, he could tell that she was 'excited', and he wasn't quite happy about it. He could also say the same for Alex, making him even madder because it had been the boy to cause the reaction.
"Good band." Damia said rather dumbly trying to get the conversation going.
"Yeah." Tina replied and took a sip of her champagne.
Rogue had finished her dinner, as well as the others. They decided to have desert, and when it arrived. All John wanted to do was smash the food into Alex's face. To keep himself calm John was making shapes out of the fire from the candles at the table.
"John, stop that." Damia told him, she didn't want anyone to see the shapes he was making. She didn't want their cover blown.
John turned his face to glare at her; she was taken aback by his unfriendly manner. She rolled her eyes when she saw Tina stop him from his fire sculpting. Rogue got up from her seat, and gestured to Damia and Kitty to follow.
"We need ta take a break." Rogue told the others as they walked toward the ladies room.
When the three entered the room, they sat on a couch. It was a upper class restaurant and it definitely had an upper class bathroom.
"What is his problem?!" Damia cried, as the door shut. They were the only ones in the room, so it was alright to do as they wanted.
"Like Tina." Kitty told her friend. "She has like some sort of control over him."
"You think?" Damia asked; she knew Kitty didn't mean it literally but the thought was possible.
Rogue shook her head; she was pissed off at the blonde for spoiling what was supposed to be a lovely evening. "She can create illusions, not control minds. But they're close, they got some sort of bond."
Damia sighed. "Well, I am going to leave because I cannot take anymore of her looks, or John's. I think it would just be best if I left the two alone."
"No, Ah don't think-" Rogue began.
"Sorry Rogue, but I don't feel right around her. I am going to go and surf. Join me when you're ready. Bye Kitty." Damia replied as she walked out of the bathroom. Rogue and Kitty followed but took their seats. Damia stood, pick up her things, and gave John a kiss goodbye. "See you later tonight?" she asked in his ear.
John turned and stared at her, but nodded. Damia smiled at everyone and said a quick goodbye. Then she left the others, and walked back to the hotel. When she reached her room, she slipped into her bathing suit, got the surf board, and left the hotel. When she got to the beach, she put her towel down on the sand, and headed to the waves, hanging ten until she felt her anger slowly exit her body.
----Please review. A/N: I want to point out that this isn't a Romy fic; it is a Pyro and Venus fic. But, Romy is the second romance that I am adding. So, if there isn't a lot of Rogue and Remy interaction that's because well the spotlight isn't on them. Don't get me wrong I LOVE ROMY! But I also like this pairing very much. I will have Romy fictions out later. I do have one that I love but it involves Anne Rice so I cannot post it. *unhappy face* Please don't hate me, I just wanted to point this out. It wasn't anyone or anything particular, I just noticed a lot of people wanting more Romy and I wanted ya'll to know why there wasn't. But there will be some parts with the two, because you always need a little Romy to keep a story going. *Wink wink* Anyway, thanks. Love ya'll! Thanks so much for the reviews! ~Alana-----
Chapter Six: Three's A Crowd
Marina and the X-men girl's had decided to spend the whole day shopping at the mall in the city. The mall was huge, a major tourist attraction. Tons of shops with anything and everything a shopper's heart desired. The group had separated; Marina and Storm who had become fast friends and had gone to get their nails done. Kitty, Jean, and Amara went to the Gap to look at the adorable bathing suits. Tabby, Jubilee, and Rahne went to the Bath and Body Works store.

A smile crossed Rogue's lips as she watched her friend, but it quickly faded to a more serious expression. "Damia."
Damia stopped what she was doing and looked at Rogue "Yes?"
Rogue got up off of her bed and walked over to the girl. "Well, Ah have ta tell ya somethin."
"And that would be?" She asked as she gave her a look that said just-tell- me-now.
"While we were at the mall, Ah saw John shoppin with that Tina girl." Rogue replied.
"Were they doing anything?" Damia was a bit worried but if shopping was all they were doing, and she was sure it was most likely friendly stuff.
"Shoppin." Rogue told her.
"Well, then I am sure that it was just that." Damia replied, and got back to getting ready. Rogue just sighed and went back to getting herself ready as well. Rogue walked to the bathroom, and grabbed the knob, but before she turned it to open the door to the bathroom. A knock on the hotel room door sounded, Rogue walked to the door seeing that Damia was a little indecent at the moment. She cracked the door open slightly and peered out. It was Tina, John and Remy.

Remy noticed his girlfriend's distrust for Tina, and decided to ease the tension. "Ready to go chere?"
"Sorry Cajun, but we aren't ready yet. Ya'll will have ta wait." Rogue gave them a smile that said piss-off, and shut the door in their faces. She heard the knock on the door again but ignored it. Damia heard the knock but knew if Rogue didn't want to answer it that it was best not to be answered. When the two were ready to go, they opened the door, and exited their room.

Damia heard a shout that sounded like you get tired of that loser honey come see me. A smirk crossed her lips and her eyes caught Rogue's the two were both thinking the same exact thing. Both girl's turned from exiting the hotel and walked over to the group of young men. They were rather attractive.
"Hi ya'll." Rogue gave them a lovely smile.
"Hi yourself." A guy with light brown hair replied and walked toward her. "What's a lovely thing like you doing with an ugly thing like that?"
Rogue just smiled. "Well, Ah don't honestly know. But when Ah do ah'll get back to ya."
"What are you two young things doing here anyway?" Another asked eyeing Damia hungrily. Remy and John with Tina on his arm came cover.
"Vacation. You?" Damia replied sweetly.
"Surfing competition." One replied.
"How bout that," Rogue said happily "we are goin ta be it the competition also."
"You surf?" the blonde eyed Damia, who nodded. John and Remy faced the guys.
Remy smiled politely "Would you mind if Remy could have his chere back now? Oui?"
The guy who stood next to Rogue glared at Remy who just stood their smiling. "I think that she can decide for herself."
Rogue smiled at Remy "Well, Ah have ta go, as well as mah friend so we will see ya'll at the sufin competition." Rogue waved goodbye, as they walked away.
"Chere, you shouldn't tease dem." Remy chastised her playfully.
Rogue just smirked, and continued to walk.

"Hi ya'll." Rogue smiled at her brother, Kitty, and Alex. Kitty looked wonderful; she had on a pale blue dress, which had small crystal stones stitched into it. Her hair was pulled into a bun, and had small curls hanging lose.
"Like what took you so long?" Kitty asked.
Damia smiled and told her valley girl friend. "Some nice guys in the hotel lobby."
"Oh." Kitty squealed "Well like do what you have to do."
"Vell, vat do you vant to eat?" Kurt asked Kitty.
"This place must be expensive." Alex said as he looked at the menu, then at the three forks next to his empty plate.
Damia smiled "I'll show you." Damia had been to many class dinners because of her father holding a high government position. So she knew which utensil to use and which not to.
When everyone had ordered from the menu, the conversation began. Alex had learned which fork went to what, as well as some other dinning tips. John had ordered a bottle of champagne with Remy's help.
"I've like never had champagne before." Kitty said as she took a sip. Damia couldn't help but laugh.
"Kitty that isn't how you hold it." Damia corrected her friend. Damia demonstrated the proper way to hold the champagne glass. John couldn't help but smile as he saw how dainty his girlfriend was.
"Well, chere someone taught you well." Remy smiled at Damia, who gave him a winning smile.
"Yeah, where'd you learn that?" Tina asked. She didn't like Damia, as she knew that Damia didn't like her. "You go to prissy school?"
Damia frowned and replied "Well, unlike some my family thought that a young woman should be knowledgeable of these things, as well as to know how to kick ass."
John cleared his throat, and Tina gave a falsely sweet smile "I guess your very useful then."
Damia glared at the girl, she felt a hand on her shoulder. It was Alex. He smiled at her and asked "Would you like to dance?" There was a band playing a slow song in the background.
She smiled at him and questioned "Should I teach you the waltz?"
Alex gave her a playful smile "I think I'll teach you." Alex had learned many dances from one of his old girlfriends. In fact he was a rather excellent dancer. The two walked onto the dance floor. Alex put his hand onto Damia's slender hip, and the other clasped her hand. She put her hand on his shoulder, and held his hand with her other one. They began the waltz, with the one two three four box step. She was surprised at how well Alex danced.
She smiled "Very impressive."
"I've only begun." He winked and twirled her, then pulled her into a dip. Instead of staying in one place as the other couples did, they moved around the floor in circles. They danced like a couple in a fairytale, like Cinderella and Prince Charming.
John just frowned and continued to eat. Tina sensed his tension and stated "They look so cute together."
Kitty glared at the blonde Aussie. "Like do you know how to like dance?"
"Not that way." Tina replied.
"Then like shut up." Kitty gave the girl a smile, and continued her conversation with Kurt.
The music stopped and the couples on the floor clapped. The band started up again and the dance was the Tango. Surprisingly the two stayed on the dance floor. Alex and Damia moved as one, doing dips, turns, and other moves.
"Wow." Kitty smiled as she watched them.
"De homme can dance." Remy smirked.
"Tango, very impressive." Tina eyed the two on the floor.
"It's a hard dance, very sexual, and seductive. It is de dance of lovers." Remy said with his sexy Cajun accent. They watched as Alex and Damia danced, they were very close to one another. When he dipped her toward the floor, her legs were under his groin pressing against it, as he lowered her; his head was close to her breasts. She came up quickly, her chest pressed against his. They were both breathing deeply. What Remy said was true, it was a very sexually dance. The movements seemed like love making. Each move hitting a certain spot making the dancer hot. When the dance was over they noticed that the entire restaurant was clapping for them. Apparently they had had the whole floor to themselves, as others watched intensely. The two walked back to the table, and sat down.
"That was like so beautiful." Kitty squealed.
Damia and Alex both blushed. They both had gotten a little turned on by the Tango. But, it wasn't their fault that is the power of the dance. Damia saw the way John was eyeing her, he could tell that she was 'excited', and he wasn't quite happy about it. He could also say the same for Alex, making him even madder because it had been the boy to cause the reaction.
"Good band." Damia said rather dumbly trying to get the conversation going.
"Yeah." Tina replied and took a sip of her champagne.
Rogue had finished her dinner, as well as the others. They decided to have desert, and when it arrived. All John wanted to do was smash the food into Alex's face. To keep himself calm John was making shapes out of the fire from the candles at the table.
"John, stop that." Damia told him, she didn't want anyone to see the shapes he was making. She didn't want their cover blown.
John turned his face to glare at her; she was taken aback by his unfriendly manner. She rolled her eyes when she saw Tina stop him from his fire sculpting. Rogue got up from her seat, and gestured to Damia and Kitty to follow.
"We need ta take a break." Rogue told the others as they walked toward the ladies room.
When the three entered the room, they sat on a couch. It was a upper class restaurant and it definitely had an upper class bathroom.
"What is his problem?!" Damia cried, as the door shut. They were the only ones in the room, so it was alright to do as they wanted.
"Like Tina." Kitty told her friend. "She has like some sort of control over him."
"You think?" Damia asked; she knew Kitty didn't mean it literally but the thought was possible.
Rogue shook her head; she was pissed off at the blonde for spoiling what was supposed to be a lovely evening. "She can create illusions, not control minds. But they're close, they got some sort of bond."
Damia sighed. "Well, I am going to leave because I cannot take anymore of her looks, or John's. I think it would just be best if I left the two alone."
"No, Ah don't think-" Rogue began.
"Sorry Rogue, but I don't feel right around her. I am going to go and surf. Join me when you're ready. Bye Kitty." Damia replied as she walked out of the bathroom. Rogue and Kitty followed but took their seats. Damia stood, pick up her things, and gave John a kiss goodbye. "See you later tonight?" she asked in his ear.
John turned and stared at her, but nodded. Damia smiled at everyone and said a quick goodbye. Then she left the others, and walked back to the hotel. When she reached her room, she slipped into her bathing suit, got the surf board, and left the hotel. When she got to the beach, she put her towel down on the sand, and headed to the waves, hanging ten until she felt her anger slowly exit her body.
----Please review. A/N: I want to point out that this isn't a Romy fic; it is a Pyro and Venus fic. But, Romy is the second romance that I am adding. So, if there isn't a lot of Rogue and Remy interaction that's because well the spotlight isn't on them. Don't get me wrong I LOVE ROMY! But I also like this pairing very much. I will have Romy fictions out later. I do have one that I love but it involves Anne Rice so I cannot post it. *unhappy face* Please don't hate me, I just wanted to point this out. It wasn't anyone or anything particular, I just noticed a lot of people wanting more Romy and I wanted ya'll to know why there wasn't. But there will be some parts with the two, because you always need a little Romy to keep a story going. *Wink wink* Anyway, thanks. Love ya'll! Thanks so much for the reviews! ~Alana-----
