A/N:­- Hi again. Just a note to you readers. This story is NOT going to be a Logan/Rogue romance. I never planned this, its just going to be a normal close friendship relationship. So you needn't worry. Sorry to those of you who would have like a romance, but please keep reading because it will get more interesting.

Also, this story is going to be told by both Logan and Rogue as though it is a thing of the past, so various chapters like this one will be P.O.V. The others are flashbacks. Sorry I didn't make that clearer before, but the idea just came to me : - )

Moving On – Chapter 4

*Rogue's P.O.V*

It was after that night that everything went back to the way it used to be. Logan returned to normal, growling at kids in the mansion and terrorising Scott. Even though Logan and Scott had formed a bond between each other since Jeans death, there was nothing Logan liked better than to torment Scott by stealing his bike for the day and taking me out on a ride or hiding his tools around the mansion for him to find.

I was glad of Logan's return to normal state as I had missed the guy I loved so much. The night of Logan's redecorating had brought us closer together, if that was possible. He trusted me more an he ever used to and he would open up to me more, talking to me about more personal things he would never used to even consider discussing with me.

While he was the old Logan again, there was a new side that only I saw. To everyone else he was just the same, to me he was different. We were best friends and I liked the new bond that had brought us closer.

On my 19th birthday he bought me a complete new wardrobe, gloves in every colour you could imagine, although where he got the money from I'll never know. He was more affectionate towards me in many ways and this was just one example. We would sit in the lounge late at night when everyone else was in bed. He would sit with his arm around me, us sometimes watching a movie, or sometimes talking, enjoying each others company.

He kept away from the new doctor, knowing that if he encountered her it wouldn't be pleasant. She knew this as she had been briefed about Logan's attitude towards her and helped by keeping herself to herself, eating at different times and staying mostly downstairs in the lab. Logan never set foot down there again for a long time.

Everything was going fine, which I was grateful for, until one day Ann Jones was asked to join the X-men. Her telekinetic powers were on a higher level than both Jeans and the professors. She could read a persons mind and predict there every move without having to be in eye contact or be touching them. She could also contact other mutants across the seas without using Cerebro. I must admit I was jealous at her remarkable powers and I see why she was asked to join the X-men, but I never told any of this to Logan.

It hit Logan hard, as still, even months after the event, the loss of Jean upset him. He found it hard to accept that someone was taking her place at the mansion and everyone around him was moving on.

As a result of Ann joining the X-men she took part in training, came upstairs more and ate meals with us. I suppose it was hard to prevent as she was one of the team and couldn't be isolated much longer. Scott told me once that he had dealt with Ann, and so it was time for Logan to as well.

At meal times Logan started leaving the X-men table and came and ate dinner with me and my friends. Whilst he didn't enjoy the company of boy-mad Kitty and Jubes, he put up with it as he was near me.

One thing that did upset Logan, and I noticed it quite a lot too, was that Scott had taken a liking to Ann. He would check her out and flirt with her at any chance he got. I suppose this is where the story really livens up.

A/N: - So, do you understand the concept of this story and the whole being in the past thing? Let me know if you do by reviewing, I love to hear your thoughts.
