Before Rogue turned off her light, she realized she was alone.

'Kitty's still in the bathroom...I can read the letter now,' she thought.

She grabbed her pants from the laundry hamper and took the note out of her back pocket.

"Mon chere," she snorted sardonically.

"I will pick you up tomorrow night at six thirty sharp. Hope you like my little gift. Look outside," she was standing by the window and could almost see him winking at her.

Wait, she thought. She went to the glass doors and opened them, stepping out on the balcony.

"What are ya doin' here, Swamp Rat?" she called, glaring at him with much dislike.

"Have y' seen de gift?" he asked.

She raised an eyebrow and looked down the letter before turning it around. It was the Queen of Hearts card.

He wrote on it, "You are the Queen of My Heart" on it.

"Charmin', but Ah ain't naïve," she said, letting go of the card, allowing it to fall at his feet. "If Ah were you-Thank God Ah'm not-Ah would leave before Logan smells ya," she warned.

"I'll see you tomorrow, mon chere," he said, walking into the shadows.

Twice he's given me the Queen of Hearts card, thought Rogue.

What's he playin' at? She kept tossing and turning in her bed trying to get the image of a certain Cajun out of her head.

"GET OUTTA MAH HEAD!" she yelled in her pillow, her voice muffled.

"Like, will you shut up, Rogue? Some people want sleep," whined Kitty sleepily.

"Oh shuddup," said Rogue.

Kitty threw her pillow at Rogue.

"It's six a.m. and it's a weekend. So shut up," she said.

"Six? Ah'm getting' outta bed, then," said Rogue, standing up and leaving her dorm room.

When she entered the kitchen, she saw the adults having a conversation that looked serious.

"Good morning, Rogue," said Charles.

"Mornin'. Whatcha talkin' bout?" replied Rogue, sitting at the table.

"Nothin' that concerns you, stripes," said Logan gruffly.

"Hey, Logan, what time is the danger room sessions for the ones who broke the rules last night?" asked Ororo.

"In one hour," came the gruff answer.

Rogue groaned and began banging her head on the table.

"You're going to give yourself a headache," said Charles in her mind.

"Gah! Get outta mah head," she said.

"Hello!" Kurt bamfed in.

"Kurt!" scolded Rogue.

Kurt looked at his older adopted sister. "Ja?" he asked innocently.

"Ferget (forget) it," she said.

An hour later, very tired XMEN and younger students were yawning and whining at Logan in the danger room session.

Rogue, who was high on caffeine, was very energetic.

"Whatcha got in ster (store) fer us, Looooooooooooooogie?" she asked.

"Is she drunk or very hyper?" Kitty whispered to Kurt.

"Maybe both?" he suggested.

Kitty closed her eyes. "We're doomed," she said.

"Damned to hell and back after this," muttered Tabitha.

"If you ever call me that again, you wont have a mouth or vocal cords to speak with," warned Logan.

"Oooh, somebody's moody! Ah guess yer at that age," giggled Rogue.

"You're grounded for a week," he said gruffly.

Kitty shout whispered, "What the hell was that, like, back there?"

Rogue giggled. "Ah found Logan's cases of beer,"

Kitty's eyes went wide.

"You're drunk!?" shrieked Kitty.

"Who's drunk?" asked Logan from the control room, hearing everybody's conversations.

"Nobody!" said Kitty.

Logan grunted in response.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Oh, no! Oh, no! Ah'm grounded. Ah got drunk this mornin' and hyper on caffeine. Damn, damn, damn!" muttered Rogue.

"So sneak out," said Kitty lazily.

"What? Ah can't sneak out!" said Rogue.

"With mine and Kurt's help, you can," said Kitty.

"Hmm...okay! Fine." Rogue turned her back on Kitty.

"What should Ah wear? Ah don't know where we're goin'," said Rogue.

"Black knee-high boots, black skirt, red scarf, red tank top under sheer black shirt and your black gloves that go two inches above your elbows," said Kitty, not looking up from her magazine.

"Oh! And your chain belt," added Kitty.

"Rahght," said Rogue.

"And, like, don't wear black lipstick," said Kitty. "Wear dark red,"

Rogue nodded, not knowing why she was so paranoid about her outfit.

Once it was five thirty p.m. Kitty and Rogue found Kurt in the library.

"Kurt! Like, come here!" said Kitty.

Kurt walked towards them. "Vhy are you dressed like zat?" he asked Rogue, brotherly instincts kicking in.

"Never mind that! We need to, like, get Rogue outside the institute gates!" said Kitty impatiently, wanting her best friend to go on a date.

"Okay," he said.

Rogue placed her hand in his shoulder and Kitty put her hand on his arm and he bamfed outside the gates.

"Oh, how sweet. Mon chere decided to come early and-" Remy stopped talking when he saw Rogue.

"Um, hey," said Rogue.

"C'mon Kurt!" whispered Kitty.

Kurt and Kitty bamfed inside.

"Quit starin'," muttered Rogue, looking anywhere but his red on black eyes.

He snapped out of his trance and grinned. "So, chere, are you ready for the best night of your life?" he asked.

"Depends. Where are ya takin' me, swamp rat?" she replied.

"You'll see," he said mysteriously.

She raised her eyebrow at him.

(A/N: I don't do Remy's accent)

"The train station? Whah are we here?" she asked when they got to Bayville's train station.

"Remember when we went to Louisiana to rescue my father?" he asked her.

"Yea, whah?" she answered.

"We're going back to Louisiana, chere. Except this time, we're going for a good time and not to rescue a thief." (Watch Cajun Spice to know what I'm talking about) he said.

"What? Ahre ya crazy? What if Logan or somebahdy (somebody) fahnds (finds) out?" she exclaimed.

"He's only going to find out if somebody tells him," he said.

"Ah can't believe Ah'm actually doin' this. Damn you, Sam," she mumbled.

When they got on the train, nobody spoke for a while until Rogue finally asked, "Whah did ya give me yer lucky card?"

Remy sighed. "Because you need it more than I do, chere," he answered.

He was sitting down on a crate and she was standing up by the opening.

"Well, after this nahght, you'll think othahwahse," she said.

She got a mischievous grin plastered on her face as she sat down next to him.

"So, did ya hear bout the Brotherhood idiots?" she asked, grinning.

"Non," he answered.

"They were all taken bah Apocalypse," she said. "Seriously?"

"Yeah," she said.

"What are you-X-Men-going to do about that?" he asked her.

"Ah don' know," she said.

"Hmm...."

Nothing else was said for the rest of the ride.

"No, Remy! Ah don't want seafood gumbo! It looks lahke swamp water!" said Rogue irritably when he dared her to try gumbo.

"But it taste so good," he said, lying.

"It has crawfish," she pointed out.

"Fine, fine. You caught me!" he said.

She grinned, satisfied.

"At least try the jambalaya." He said.

"Ah did the last tahme ya brought me here," she said.

"Yes, but, it's been improved." He said.

"Ah doubt that," she said.

He rolled his eye, now brown from contacts, and threatened, "If you don't eat something, I'll shove the food down your throat. You're far too skinny, chere,"

"Ah manage," she said.

He shook his head, defeated.

"Ah wanna go dancin'," she randomly said.

"I don't dance," he said.

"Ah don't care. Ya can stay here whahle Ah let some other man, whom Ah don't know, dance with me," she said, standing up.

He bolted out of his chair.

"I know just the place," he said, now fully ready to keep any mans' hands off of HIS Rogue.

"Whah so eagah now, swamp rat?" she teased, as he led to a dance club.

"I've just got the sudden urge to dance, chere," he lied with dignity (why did that sound so strange?).

The club they entered was dark with purple, orange and red lights.

"Now come on, chere. I'll show you how dancing is done," he said.

She yelped when he pulled her onto the dance floor.

After forty-five minutes straight on the dance floor, they both collapsed in a chair at a table.

"Ah" pant "haven't" pant "had that much fun" pant "in a long tahme" she said.

"Now do you still want to kill those poor, poor kids who were just trying to give you a nudge in the right direction?" he asked, grinning.

"Hell yeah," she said, still breathing heavy.

"Alright, where is she?" demanded Logan.

Kitty and Kurt shrunk into the shadows.

"Um...."

"You see,"

"She"

"Um"

"Is"

"Uh"

"Out"

"Right"

"With Gambit,"

Logan snarled and walked out of the door.

"Zat vent vell," said Kurt sarcastically.

"Shut up, Kurt," groaned Kitty. 'We're doomed,' she thought.

Rogue and Remy didn't get back to the institute till six a.m. and Rogue said, "Ah had a really great tahme, swamp rat,"

He chuckled. "Is that a new pet name?" he asked slyly.

She rolled her eyes.

"Ah guess Ah should get insahde," she said.

"Yeah," said Remy.

Usually, on a regular date, it would have ended with a kiss, but with Rogue, it ended like that.

Or so she thought.

Remy leaned down and kissed her on the lips.

She expected him to fall to the ground unconscious, but he didn't.

"How-how did ya do that?" she asked when he pulled back.

"That, chere, is for me to know and you to guess," he said, walking away.

She touched her lips with her hand, grinning stupidly.

She didn't even notice the XMEN or Xavier at the entrance when she walked in until she heard 'snikt'.

She jumped and turned around.

"Um, hey?" she said, more like a question.

"You were out with Gambit," accused Logan. "I can smell him on you."

She sighed. "Let me guess, grounded fer lahfe?" she asked.

Logan was about to say something when Charles said, "No, Rogue. You are suspended from using your powers for a week and you are grounded for another weeks."

Rogue nodded and walked out sighing.

'Well, it WAS worth it,' she thought, grinning at the thought of how his lips fitted on hers perfectly.
