Tapping. That was it. Tapping. Rogue decided it was the most annoying sound in the world. She wasn't sure that she had heard it at first, but she did. Not banging or pounding, tapping. The most annoying thing in the world. Tapping.

Rogue opened one eye. Jean was asleep in the bed across from her, since when, Rogue didn't know. Rahne was asleep on the couch in the other room, she could see that through the open door. From the looks of things she was coming to on her own accord. Slowly, Rahne moved toward the window, which, how the girl could see, Rogue couldn't figure. All she saw what white, moving white, and that meant it was snowing to some degree. Either that or there was something on the roof pushing the snow off.

Then she heard barks. barks and chirps. Barks and chirps and whines and growls. It sounded like a puppy that needed to be let outside for, well, its business, but Rahne seemed to know other wise. With in seconds the girl was on Rogue's bed, throwing a pillow at Jean.

"Jean, Rogue, c'mon, we've got tae go, hurry!" Rahne tugged on Rogue's gloved hand, puling her forward. Jean sputtered awake, thoroughly confused.

"Rahne...what's going on?"

"It's Bladestone, he's been hurt or kidnapped, or somthin', please we have tae help him!" Rahne tugged on her arm again, and Rogue allowed herself to be pulled up right.

"Okay, jus' let us get dressed, an' we'll go an' find 'im." Rahne smiled, hugged her and ran to the main room. "And don' leave without us again, ya hear me kid?!"

Jean smiled. "Rogue, how are we going to find him?"

"Ah have no clue..."

"That's a common situation with you, isn't it?" Jean teased.

"Shut-up ya blasted Telepath...."
