***********************************************************************************************
"And that's the whole story I swear!" Kitty said crying. "Now...I'm prepared for my punishment…."
"Oh no child! I would never do that," Ororo said shaking her head. "Your intentions were good." She then turned to Rogue. "Rogue?"
Rogue would've just stayed there, staring at Kitty with her mouth and eyes wide open if Remy hadn't elbowed her. "Uh…yeah!" she replied unsurely. "Whatever she says…" She said which was not entirely true and she didn't know if cutting Jean out of the whole story was a good idea or not. If she was a witness, then Ororo would also want her side of the story which, of course, would be entirely 'true' resulting in Kitty getting grounded.
"Let's see what the Professor has to say about all this," Ororo said then turned to Remy. "And Remy…Welcome to the X-men."
"Thank you Stormy," Remy said bowing a little. He almost lost his balance if Rogue hadn't caught him.
"It's Storm," Ororo said. "Let's go home."
************************************************************************************************************
"Ah…Home sweet home—Like O my god!" Kitty squealed running up to the almost hundred of beautifully wrapped up packages near the fountain. "Presents!"
"And they're all… addressed to Rogue…" Amara said disappointed after reading a card on top of one of them.
"Hmm…and they smell so good…" Jubilee said sniffing a box.
"Can we please open them?" Kitty asked Rogue acting like a little girl. "Can we huh? Huh?"
"No Kitty…they must be returned," Ororo said strictly.
"But they're presents!" Kitty exclaimed. "Presents are taken!"
"Kitty…" Ororo gave her a warning look.
"Oh ok!" Kitty said sadly.
"Oh look! Jean's already home," Ororo said when she caught sight of her leaning against the doorframe. Ororo frowned when she noticed something different. "Jean…your hair—"
All the girls turned to look at her and gasped.
"Just decided to dye it," Jean said running her fingers through her now long black hair. "I have my reasons…" she said giving Rogue a murderous glare as she took out a lighter from her pocket and started flicking it on and off.
"Hmm…Dat's Pyro's lighter," Remy observed. "Pyro said dat if anybody would be able to get his lighter, he would be dead or dyin."
"I think she killed him…" Kitty whispered in horror.
"So…you don't know anything that happened today?" Ororo asked Jean skeptically.
"Oh dear God!" Jean gasped dramatically. "What happened? I-I just came home and well…was shocked to see the boys come home really tired and muttering some weird stuff a-and before that, Professor called me to pick him up from a church. He didn't say what he was doing there."
"Well…This may come as quite as a shock…" Ororo began. "But Kitty here put a love spell on Rogue."
Kitty smiled sheepishly.
"A love spell?" Jean raised her brow, pretending to be clueless. "That sounds…so unbelievable!"
Ororo nodded. "Yes it does, but it happened. And thanks to Remy, everything's back to normal now."
"Remy? Hmmm…nice to meet you Remy," Jean said.
"But Remy already knows yo—HpmfF!" Remy mumbled when Jean froze his mouth.
"You must be some kind of wizard to know how to reverse a spell Remy. Am I right Remy?" Jean asked.
Remy shook his head then thought for a moment and quickly nodded.
"Now you must be wondering what happened at the church?" Ororo asked Jean.
"Oh yes! I'm 'dying' to know what the Professor was doing there!" Jean said excitedly while everyone else, except Ororo wondered what the hell was wrong with her.
"Well…Scott married Rogue. Unofficial of course, considering Scott wasn't in his senses," Ororo said. "I hope he's dealing with this just fine."
Rogue turned a shade of red. While Remy, also turned a shade of red but it was red with anger.
"But wasn't Rogue in her senses?" Jean asked looking at Rogue with a shocked expression which of course was fake.
~If you're in your senses then you better shut up! Before Ah— Rogue was saying when Jean interrupted.
"Ok so whatever! That explains what the wedding cake is doing here…." Jean said then held up a hand to reveal a little doll which resembled Rogue in a wedding dress. "And this doll—whoops!" Jean 'accidentally' dropped the Rogue doll and the lighter which 'accidentally' set the doll on fire. "Aww…I'm so sorry I burned you Rogue," she said and started stomping on the doll to extinguish the fire. "All better!" she said picking up the now charred doll.
Rogue could only blink. "Kitty….don't tell me you didn't help her when Scott and two of Magneto goons went after her?" she whispered.
Kitty gulped. "I…didn't h-help her."
"Nice knowing you Rogue. Give me a call if you're still alive…" Tabitha whispered. "I better go—If Lance's jeep was here." That's when she heard the familiar honking. "And here it is!" she said happily as Rahne and Betsy zoomed in the jeep.
"Rahne! You're too young to drive!" Ororo exclaimed when the jeep screeched to a halt.
"Well…err…Aye—" That's when everybody noticed Scott. He was lying on the backseat, using Betsy's lap as a pillow.
Jean squeaked but quickly cleared her throat. "O Scott!" she cried dramatically, running up to the jeep. "Are you ok?"
"Of course he is," Betsy said looking down at Scott and smiling. "Aren't you luv?"
"Yeah I'm fine…" Scott told her smiling as he got up. "T-Thanks."
"Anytime darling…"
"Oh look at the time!" Jean pulled Scott out of the car with her TK. "You must have a photo shoot or something Elisabeth. So you should go!"
"No I don—" Betsy began but was cut short by Jean.
"Tabitha will drop you!" Jean said lifting Tabitha off her feet and placing her in the driver's seat. "Bye guys!"
"Oh hey! Don't forget to call—Hey!" Tabitha screeched when the jeep started driving by itself and no time was out of sight and out of the institute.
"Scott, are you ok?" Jean asked.
"I-I think so," Scott said as Jean pulled him to his feet. "I-I've j-just been having these weird….hallucinations…." Scott trailed off when his eyes fell upon Rogue. He let out a small gasp when his eyes fell upon the ring on Rogue's finger.
Remy could have burst out laughing if Rogue hadn't threatened him with a glare when Scott backed up shocked and suddenly tripped.
"I-I'm ok!" Scott said standing up straight. He moved forward his eyes still glued to the ring as if he recalled or was trying to recall and never noticed one of Rogue's presents near his feet until it tripped him. His shades came off and he could've almost blasted Rogue if Remy hadn't pushed her out of the way.
Remy gave him a glare. "You better watch where you're lookin mon ami!"
"I-I'm s-sorry—I-It j-just h-happened—" Scott was again about to bump and fall had it not been for Jean.
"Oh! For God sakes Scott!" Jean said rolling her eyes and dragged Scott inside before he could cause anymore damage.
"A-Ah don't think Ah could ever face him again…" Rogue said, embarrassed as all of them walked inside.
~Why don't you go and try to face the others?~ Jean suggested, her voice thick with sarcasm as she watched Scott stumble and climb the stairs and head up to his room.
"I hope this mess is somehow also cleared up," Ororo said picking up the evening newspaper and started going through it. "Marie Adler? Your name's not Marie Rogue."
"You have a real name?" Kitty asked shocked then turned to Ororo. "She has a real name?!"
"Oh Gee…I was wondering the same thing. Rogue told us that she didn't have a name…" Jean said an amused expression on her face while Rogue did everything in her power not to murder her right there.
"Well she does," Ororo said.
"What is it?!" Kitty almost screamed.
"Rogue," Rogue simply said.
"No it's mon chere," Remy said grinning.
"What's Rogue's name?" Kitty asked Ororo.
"Uh…Ask Rogue," she said then turned to Remy. "C'mon Remy, let's take you down to the infirmary."
"Remy's feelin fine!" Remy said standing straight who had been standing with Rogue's support all the while. He suddenly wobbled and lost his balance and fell on his back with a thud. "Ow!"
"Sorry Remy," Rogue said bending down to pick him up. "But you're goin whether you like it or not!"
"But…" Remy made a sad face.
Rogue rolled her eyes. "Don't worry! Ah'll always visit you!"
"Of course you will…" Jean said sarcastically. "It even may not matter that you tried to kil—"
~Umm…Jean~ Kitty began calmly. ~May I ask like what the hell is your problem? And do you know what Rogue's name is?~
Rogue also turned to face her furiously.
Jean only smiled, held up her forefinger and slowly drew it across her throat when Ororo wasn't looking at her.
Kitty squeaked. "I-I'll take Remy to the infirmary!" she quickly offered and before anyone could react, she and Remy had phased out of sight.
"I better go see how the Professor is doing," Ororo said and left.
~Ah better get somethin ta eat~ Rogue thought when her stomach started growling. She headed towards the kitchen and was surprised to see many boys present there at this hour. Most of them were busy cooking while others seemed to have fallen asleep on the table.
Rogue entered quietly as possible to get something but the inevitable happened.
Kurt who was stuck on the ceiling and eating a hamburger saw her. He choked on the piece in his mouth and fell down and landed on the table. This woke the sleeping Sam and he was so startled that he zoomed up through the ceiling and probably out through the roof.
Jamie gasped dropping the cookie jar in his hand, turned red and ran smack into the wall, creating clones of himself which in turn caused Roberto to trip over him.
The big hole Sam made resulted in Bobby falling through the ceiling and icing the floor. This caused Ray to slip and accidentally cause a power surge and the lights went out. Someone else also seemed to slip by Bobby's ice in the pitch black darkness.
Jean flicked on the lighter and smiled as she floated into the kitchen. "Well, what do you know?" she said an amused expression on her face as she looked at Rogue pinned to the wall by Evan's spikes. "They remember you!"
***********************************************************************************************
Rogue cursed as she rubbed her face which had somehow the door to Professor's study 'accidentally' slammed. She didn't know how but she knew who—
"Please, take a seat…" Professor said gesturing towards the two empty chairs as she and Kitty entered. They sat down and were now facing the Professor.
"Are you going to ground us?" Kitty asked her voice quivering.
Professor sighed shaking his head. "Kitty I—"
"W-We really tried to contact you honest!" Kitty began. "But with so many people—Guys! After Rogue, it was impossible—A-And you're also a guy—S-So that's why we couldn't come back home and oh yes! You also kicked us out too so…where were we suppose to go?" Kitty asked making puppy-dog eyes as they started getting welled up with tears.
"Yes…I'm really sorry for that but—"
"A-And then you threatened to k-kill me—" Kitty was crying now.
"Kitty, my greatest apologizes—"
"I-It was enough for me when Sabertooth kidnapped me!" she hiccupped. "A-And t-then y-you w-w-ere so m-mean—"
Professor didn't seem to be listening to her, instead he was staring ahead his eyes wide open in shock.
"Professor…Are you ok?" Rogue asked him.
"I require therapy," Professor muttered unconsciously.
"What?!" Rogue exclaimed.
"Uh…nothing. Nothing at all. You two can leave."
"What? Y-You're not going to ground us?" Kitty instantly stopped crying.
"No questions either?" Rogue asked.
"No! No questions. You can go now," Professor said clutching his head.
"But what about the newspapers and TV?" Rogue asked. "People know me—"
"Jean and I will take care of it," Professor said covering his face.
"Oh Professor!" Kitty squealed and bolted up from her seat and hugged him. "I love you! Ok bye! Professor! And thanks!" Kitty said happily and phased out of the room with Rogue.
Professor pressed his hands against his temple, hoping somehow to squeeze the image out. But it was no use. The image was inscribed in his mind. ~How?~ He wondered. ~How can such young little minds stand living with such a horrible image?~
***********************************************************************************************
"Are you going to get grounded for life?" Amara asked.
"Are we going to get grounded too?" Rahne asked worriedly.
"Is Logan going to kill you?" Amara asked. "Tabitha wants to know."
"No!" Rogue shouted when she and Kitty were getting bombarded with questions after the came out of the Professor's study.
"Phone call for you…." Jubilee said coming over, a mysterious smile plastered on her face. "Anna…"
"What did you just call me?" Rogue asked not believing what she had heard as she took the cordless phone.
"Nothing—coughAnnacoungh!" Jubilee coughed.
Rogue frowned and put the phone to her ear. "Hello?"
"You think you could get away with this little girl?!" a low voice said from the other line.
"What?!" Rogue said. "Who is this?"
"I'll rip you apart and make you scream—"
"Ask her about my lighter! I need my lighter!" someone sobbed in the background.
"Get lost! I'm talking here!"
"Who is this?! Ah think Ah know you!" Rogue shouted and again frowned in confusion when Jubilee and Amara started giggling and all the while Amara cast a brief glance towards her.
"Uh…this is no one…no one you know…Good night…"
"Nooooooo! My light—" the other line hung up.
"Stupid psycho!" Rogue muttered.
"Go Anna! It's your birthday!" Amara and Jubilee suddenly started singing. "We're gonna party like it's your birthday—Ahhhhhhh!" they screamed and ran when Rogue lunged at them while Rahne and Kitty could only stare in confusion.
***********************************************************************************************
"And boom goes her hair!" Pyro started laughing insanely recalling how he had set Jean's hair on fire. "I made the Sheila look more hot in her underwear—B-But she took my lighter! My lighter!" he started sobbing.
"I feel sick!" Sabertooth said disgusted slamming the phone. "Me and an X-man! Blech!"
"X-girl! That Sheila took my favorite lighter!" Pyro sobbed. "I need my lighter! Call again! I-I'll pay a million dollars for its safe return! Please!"
"You are an idiot Pyro," Colossus said as he shook his head. "Does anybody know where Gambit is?"
"Last I remember, he tried to kill me!" Sabertooth growled. "I owe him…"
"Hey! I think he's comin," Pyro said pointing at the entrance door as it opened. "Huh?" Pyro uttered when a naked man entered. Pyro started laughing like a maniac, rolling on the floor clutching his stomach. "Where did you come from old chump? The stripper club?"
"Not Gambit…but he'll do," Sabertooth decided and was lunging at him.
"You fools! I'm Magneto!" the man screamed trying to hide his nudity. "Get me my clothes—"
"H-He's Magneto!" This made Pyro laugh even harder.
Sabertooth also burst into laughter. "Magneto?! Running around the town naked?"
"F-Flying mate! Flying! There's indeed a full moon tonite!"
"You will all die for this!" Magneto shouted angrily.
"You're already killing us mate!" Pyro said in between laughter. "Killing us with laughter that is!"
"I will assist you to the door," Colossus said coming up.
"I will crush you like a can if you don't get me my clothes!" Magneto screamed.
The insult made Colossus angry. "I believe Sabertooth will show you to the exit."
"Now hold on mates! I've got a better idea," Pyro said grinning evilly.
"Don't you dare Pyro—Ahhhhh!!!!" Magneto screamed when he shot his flames at his feet from the flame thrower pack on his back.
"Dance! Dance! Muhahahah!" he laughed insanely shooting the flames at Magneto. "HaHaHaHaH!!!!"
"I—Ow!—will kill you all—Ahhh—For this!" Magneto swore.
***********************************************************************************************
"Uh…Miss Core-Ahhhh!" the Corell's butler, Roger, ducked just in time before a flying knife shaved his head from his body.
"What?" Courtney snapped. "Can't you see I'm busy?" she shouted then grabbed another knife and hurled it at Rogue's picture stuck on the wall.
"Miss Corell…" the butler got up, brushing the dust from his suit. " I suggest you rest. You had a really bad—"
"I won't rest! I can never ever rest! I got humiliated! I need more photographs!" Courtney screamed grabbing another knife and hurling it at the picture. "To absorb my anger right now!"
"Miss Corell, you're not even sure—"
"Well who do you suppose it was?! The wicked witch from the west?!" Courtney snapped recalling the phone call which almost landed her on the electric chair. "More pictures!"
"B-But they're all finish—"
"I don't care! Do as I say or you're fired!"
Roger sighed. "As you wish and Miss Corell and Miss Corell, two people are here to see you, they—"
"It better not be another psycho killer like Duncan or my ex-boyfriend dressed up as Stacy to kill me or a reporter or I'll go psycho on you before firing you!" she screamed.
"N-No, it's Miss Riley and her friend."
"O really? Now that bitch is sending people dressed up as my family members to kill me. Clever!"
"If that's the case, then they sure are convincing."
"Send them in. I was getting tired of ruining pictures." The butler was about to say something when Courtney put the tip of the knife on his nose. "Roger, would you please send them in?" she asked sweetly.
Roger gulped. "As you wish, Miss Corell," he muttered, bowing before leaving.
"And get this wall cleaned up!" Courtney screamed and hurled the last of the knives at Rogue's picture. "I need more knives too!"
***********************************************************************************************
"I need perfumes! Shampoo lots of shampoo! Where do you keep the shampoos?!" Todd hopped around in panic over the whole house. "M-Maybe Wanda has some! Where's Wanda?! Where do you keep Wanda?! Where's she?! Wan—"
"Ahhh!" Wanda shrieked when Todd crashed into her as she was coming out of her room.
"Wanda! Need shampoo! Soap! Perfumes! A-Anythin! Need to wash away the scent of Rogue!" Todd said shaking her. "Please yo!"
Wanda growled and hexed him off her. She got up and climbed down the stairs. In the kitchen, she heard, Fred hogging the refrigerator, obviously trying to make-up for the food he missed. Outside, in the backyard, she could hear Lance sobbing followed by the sound of hammering.
"M-My jeep!" he wept. "I-I can't believe I drove all the way out of town for a—A can of coke!"
The doorbell suddenly started ringing.
"Who is it?!" Wanda shouted.
"I-It's… m-m-me!" It sounded like someone was crying.
Wanda pulled the door open. She blinked then screamed and slammed the door shut. After a few second of breathing heavily, she opened the door, slowly this time. But the person was still there. "W-What—What have you done to yourself?!" Wanda screamed at Pietro who looked exactly like her, from the black-hair, to the cross-shaped earrings, to the boots. "What have you done to yourself???!!!!!"
In reply, Pietro howled and started sobbing uncontrollably. "We really are twins!"
