The next morning I was rudely awoken at six by someone singing in French. It was too early for the Gambit Voice to make any sense out of any language, so I did the next logical thing and threw my alarm clock at whoever had decided to disturb me.

"Ow, Cherie, that hurt." I opened one eye and saw Remy standing there rubbing his arm. "Remy's just giving you an old fashioned wake up call. In French, of course."

"And *why* exactly are you waking me up so early?"

"Training."

"But I don't have a Logan session for another couple of days, maybe longer if I can act emotionally distraught."

"You're not training with the Wolverine. Today Gambit's gonna help you learn to use your powers."

I groaned. "I'm going back to bed."

My pillow started glowing. "Ok, you have one minute to figure out how to use Remy's powers enough to uncharge that."

I glared at him.

"Fifty seconds."

I put both my hands on it and tried to re absorb the energy in the pillow. It was just too early.

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5…" I gave a squeak and tossed the pillow in the air before rolling off the bed and covering my head.

The pillow gave a small poof and exploded in a colorful shower of sparks and charred feathers.

"Great, now I don't have a pillow! How am I supposed to go back to sleep?"

"Remy's not leaving until you get out of bed and promise me you're gonna get dressed."

"Fine!" I grumpily got out of bed

Remy left and shut the door. I collapsed back on the bed.

"Get out of bed Roguey!"

"Are you spying on me?"

"Er,…only a little." I used Jean's telekinesis to slam the door completely shut this time.

"I'm serious though, cherie. I'm not leaving unless you're with me."

I sighed exasperatedly. "I give up! I'll get ready!" I went over to my closed and pulled on some exercise clothes then went out to where Remy was waiting in the hall.

"There, are you happy now?"

"Yeah, but now you have to come fight with me."

"As long as I get to beat you up."

"We'll see."

"Don't worry, I will."

As soon as we got into the gym, I summoned up a wind that blew Remy back against the wall.

"No fair, we haven't started yet!"

"Everything's fair in this game." I used Scott's power to shoot at Remy's feet. "Now dance!"

Remy started jumping about to avoid the optic blasts. "You know, Cherie, there are easier ways to get Remy to dance."

"Yeah, but not too many are funnier."

Remy flipped over the next blast and knocked my feet out from under me. "Gotcha." He said with his usual cocky grin.

I used Lance's power to shake the ground and Remy fell over too. "No, I got you."

Remy got up and made to throw a punch at me, but I caught his hand with Juggernaut's power and lifted him off the ground, growing tall enough to do so with the help of Mystique's.

"Wow, Cherie, you hands are so soft. You'd never guess such a strong fella such as yourself would use hand lotion."

Juggernaut in my head got a little angry at this. "Throw him! C'mon, when someone insults your masculinity, you gotta hurt them!"

"But It's only Remy. He's a wussy little girly girl type himself."

"Just throw him."

"But-"

"DO IT!"

"STOP YELLING AT ME!"

BAM! That was Remy hitting the wall. I shook my head to clear the haze the argument had left and looked around. Remy was slumped against the wall. I rushed over to his side and shook him gently. "Remy? Remy? You alright?" His eyelids fluttered and he groaned.

"Whadya do that for Roguey?"

"I dunno. We were just arguing and it just happened."

"The voices getting worse, huh?"

"Yeah. Ya know, maybe we should stop fighting."

"Remy agrees." He started to sit up, but he gasped and his hand flew to his ribs. "Remy thinks you re-injured his ribs."

"Oh, I'm really sorry Remy! You know I didn't do it on purpose."

"Remy knows, don't worry Roguey." He tried to stand up again, but couldn't. I could tell he didn't want to make me feel guilty, but he also was hurt.

"Here, lemme help you Remy." I levitated over a foam mat from against the wall and lifted Remy on top of it. I started to feel the effects of using all the powers at once, but I shook it off. "Try to relax and lay down."

He grimaced, but did so. I levitated the mat out in front of me to the medical room. I managed to lay him down on a bed before my powers caught up with me and I blacked out.

The first thing I said when I woke up was "Is Remy ok?"

Someone blue, huge, and furry was hovering over me. "He's fine Rogue." Beast told me. "But how are you? Why did you collapse?"

"Uh, just a little tired."

He looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "Voices again? If they're back, you should see the professor. We don't want you loosing control again."

I nodded. "I'll talk to him if they get worse.
