"Got. Tah. Keep. Running!"
Rogue stumbled forward slightly, losing speed, as she tried to keep running towards the X-men (and away from Remy). She could feel her legs getting weaker by the second, but she had to keep running, had to get there and warn everyone about Mystique.
Rogue's head spun as well, which didn't help the situation. Her feet stopped pounding the ground, and she stood still, swaying slightly, feeling sick. It felt like she hadn't eaten in weeks! Forcing herself on, she took a few steps, then collapsed onto the wet grass beneath her, not unconscious but very weak.
After lying there in the dirt for a minute, Rogue made herself get up again, and stumbled on, clothes covered in mud. Suddenly she heard a noise; looking up, she saw a familiar face. Kitty Pryde, her room mate and fellow X-man, looked down over the pirate ship's edge and saw Rogue standing there. Kitty phased down through the ship's wooden sides and landed on the ground. She hugged the bedraggled girl in front of her, happy, but shocked when she fully saw the state her best friend was in.
Rogue was leaning against the wood, too weak to stand up on her own. Her ribs were clearly visible through her green top, and her face was gaunt and tired, make up smudged, eyelids closed. Her always-neat hair was messy and unkempt, and her clothes were ripped and covered in wet mud.
"Oh my God Rogue." Kitty whispered. Rogue opened her eyes and looked up at her, her emerald eyes glazed.
"Mystique. Kurt- Mystique." Rogue tried to say a sentence, but her words got jumbled up in her mouth so all that Kitty could understand was those names.
"What about them?" Kitty asked gently.
"Trap - Mystique - Kurt." Rogue's face was screwed up in frustration, annoyed that she couldn't say a sentence properly. "Kurt - Mystique - trap - Bucket head - murder."
Kitty just watched, wide eyed. Jean peeped over the top of the pirate ship to see Kitty stood watching Rogue, who was speaking.
'Huh?' Jean thought, 'But Rogue was back with Kurt!'
Kitty, meanwhile, was thinking the same thing. 'How come Rogue's here, when I saw her up there?'
Rogue seemed to see the suspicion in her eyes. "Kitty - it really is meh."
A memory suddenly popped into Kitty's head as she got an idea.
~*~ FLASH BACK ~*~
Will you be my girlfriend; I'll treat you good . . .
"Kitty, will yah turn that crap off? Yah shouldn't bother with stupid boy bands."
"Your music like isn't much better!"
Rogue watched in amusement as Kitty waltzed round the room in time to the music. How could she stand this? It made Rogue want to barf.
"Really, Kit, how's Justin Timberlake gonna help yah in later lahfe?"
"How's - " Kitty's face went thoughtful as she racked her brains for one of Rogue's favourite bands, " - Banana gonna help you in like later life?"
Rogue let out a laugh. "Banana?! Ah don't remember ever buyin' a Banana CD."
Kitty frowned. "You know! Banana!" She started to sing, "Here we are now, entertain us!"
Rogue burst into uncontrollable laughter at this, and almost fell off the bed. Kitty just stood there, knowing she'd said something wrong. "What? What?!" she kept saying, until Rogue's laughing had died down a bit.
"Yah meant Nirvana, didn't yah?"
"Oh yeah! Nirvana! That was it!" Kitty blushed a bit, but laughed anyway at her own mistake. They were laughing for what it seemed like hours, until Rogue burst out,
"Kit, if Ah'm eva sick, you're gonna have tah buy meh a Banana CD!"
At this, both girls started laughing again.
~*~ END FLASHBACK ~*~
"So," Kitty started, "Are you wanting that CD? You're pretty sick I'd say."
"Oh yeah." Rogue smiled faintly, "As long as it's Banana." She laughed lightly, which turned into a cough. Her eyes rolled upwards, and she fell forward into Kitty's arms. Kitty was alarmed at how light she was.
"What is it with meh and faintin' lately." Rogue said surprisingly quickly, before she passed out.
"Kitty?" Jean's voice called out. Kitty looked up. "Is it really Rogue?"
"Yeah, its Rogue." Kitty yelled back, glancing down at the friend in her arms. "For definite."
