Chapter One
It Never Happened
Rouge sat next Bobby on Blackbird after the X-Men finished their plea to the President of the United States of America. She toyed with the metal clips to her seat belt, checking to make sure that all attachments were fastened. After falling out of the cockpit, Rogue had a tremendous fear of history repeating itself.
She turned her head and studied her boyfriend's profile. His strong jaw was tightened as he stared ahead, the thoughts of his former pal Pyro all but flying from his brain. Then he moved his head towards her, and when he saw her looking at him, he gave her a half smile. The love in her heart was overpowering as she reached out and touched his jaw. She could not feel his warm skin against her glove, but she did not care. He reached up and started pull at the fabric. The glove left her hand and he placed her rarely bare hand into his palm.
She started to panic and tried to pull away, but he ignored her protests and touched his lips against the back of her hand.
"I'll love you Marie, no matter what."
"I'll love you too." She stared in shock as he let her hand go.
All of a sudden the plane shook with turbulence. The metal wall was pulled apart and a gap formed once again in the cockpit. Bobby reached down and unfastened his seat belt. The air wrapped around him and he flew into the air.
"Bobby! No!" Rogue screamed at him as he vanished from sight.
"Bob..."
"…by!" Marie O'Brien jumped up from her bed. Her hand rested against her chest as she gasped for breath. "Bobby." She looked around her medium sized bed room as the dream started to fade from her brain. She stared at her movie posters and her brain began to focus. Instead of being a passenger aboard Charles Xavier's Blackbird flying back home to the sprawling mansion in NY, she was sitting up in her quilt covered bed in Clarks Valley, Pennsylvania. She felt let down at the thought that her wonderful exciting dream was in fact only a dream. Her alarm had yet to go off, but even though it was not time to get up, Marie crawled out of bed and headed towards her shower.
She adjusted the temperature and stepped in the shower to wash away the memories. It wasn't the first time she had these wonderful dreams but it was the first time she dreamed so vividly. She could almost feel the intense kiss with her Bobby. Her Bobby. She laughed at the thought as she rubbed the shampoo into her hair. The soccer star of Williams Preparatory School had been ignoring her ever since freshman year. The chances of Bobby Drake ever risk his life for hers was slim to none. She ignored the feeling of regret and turned off the shower. Wrapping herself in her robe, Marie spent the next 20 minutes blow-drying her thick, long maroon hair. The thought of Magneto causing her hair to turn grey now seemed humorous when in the dream seemed terrifying.
She walked out of her bathroom and back into her bedroom. Quickly she dressed in her required uniform: an oxford shirt, a plaid skirt, and a navy blue sweater. She rolled up her white knee socks and slipped into her brown slip-on shoes. Applying a coat of lip-gloss and a dusting of powder, Marie picked up her shoulder pack and headed down the mahogany stair way.
Her attorney mother was sitting at the kitchen table sipping at her morning cup of coffee. They mumbled their greetings and Marie reached into the cupboard for a coffee mug and began to make herself a cup of chai tea. After her tea was ready, she joined her mother at the table and started picking at an onion bagel for breakfast.
"Where are Daddy and Steve?"
Megan O'Brien looked up from the brief she was reading and glanced at her 17 year-old daughter. "Dad had to take Steve to school today so he could print out a paper. The darn printer broke last night."
Marie laughed at the faulty equipment. No matter how many times they fixed the faulty machinery, it always found away to break. "Well Steve wouldn't want to upset Dr. Fellow. I remember when I tried that excuse sophomore year and I ended up in detention for the week." Marie chugged down the rest of her tea and got up from the table. She put her dishes into the dishwasher and picked up her car keys from the top of the water cooler. She played with her keys as she headed towards the back door. "I have Drama after school today, so I will be late for supper."
Her mother nodded and returned to her brief. Marie stepped outside and breathed in the fresh autumn air. The trees were beginning to turn colors and the sight was gorgeous. Marie opened up her green Volkswagen Beatle and tossed in her backpack. She was happy that she did not have to take her younger brother to school that morning. Ever since he joined the soccer team the year before, Steve started to behave like the big man on campus. By the time he reached senior year, she predicted that he would be as much of a jerk as Bobby Drake.
She maneuvered her way into the downtown Clarks Valley and made her way to her high school. Deep inside her she had the desire that she was a mutant. Sure she would have different problems, but at least she would be different. Instead of being an average high school student that her peers barely recognized, Marie would be part of a magnificent team that bonded together to help save the future. She laughed silently over here super hero thoughts as she pulled into her parking space. She patted her baby car lightly on the hood and grabbed her school things. She sent out greetings towards her fellow classmates and walked the block to the school building.
Williams Preparatory School was a magnificent piece of architecture. It rose from the freshly manicured lawn, looking like a gothic castle. She walked into the building and greeted her vice principal who also happened to be her AP Chemistry teacher from the year before.
"Good morning Mrs. Nelson. Lovely morning isn't it?"
Her teacher nodded at her. "Good morning Ms. O'Brien. How is AP Biology treating you?"
"Next to your class, it is easy as pie!"
Her teacher waved her off and Marie entered the library. She saw the bunch of the friends that she had and sat down at the round table.
Julie Myers paused from her fight with John Alleymore and waved at her friend. Her short black hair was spike up, and her uniform shirt peeked out from under her sweater.
"Hey Marie will you tell this idiot that just because he thinks he is the world's greatest person doesn't mean he is."
Marie shook her head. "What did he do now?"
John's green eyes were wide open with innocence. "I did nothing. All I did was suggest that since she was going to search for a new job anyway that she applied for the new opening at Cinemark!"
Julie rolled her eyes. "Yeah, the brianiac forgot to mention that it would be right under him, and he would be honored to bust my butt around all year."
Marie ignored their bickering as Bobby Drake waltzed by. For once he wasn't surrounded by his cronies and almost seemed approachable. She became aware that John was clicking his fingers in front of her face. She snapped back to her friends.
"What?"
Julie looked speechless for once but John promptly chimed in. "Since when did you give that jock the time of day?"
Marie pulled out her planner and started marking off the first week of September. "I have no idea what you are talking about."
Julie jumped in for the kill. "You have a little drool mark there." She pretended to wipe away the water. "Since when did your taste in the male sex drop so low, I mean besides John here."
John didn't even pretend to act offended. The friends were used to bashing each other. He was seriously concerned about his close friend. "Yeah, what gives girl?"
Marie looked over her shoulder and made sure he was out of hearing distance. He was at the other side of the room searching through an encyclopedia. "I just had a freaky dream that's all."
"Concerning the prize jock?" John nearly shouted.
"Shh… If you be quiet I will tell ya!" Once she had there undivided attention Marie told them about her dream.
Julie seemed pleased about the fact she could cause sparks and John did not seem to mind the fact he could wield fire, even though he ran off with the bad guy.
"So you kissed HIM!" Julie screeched.
"In my dream. Boy, I almost wish it was real. That kind of kiss is something a girl lives for even if the giver is a conceited ass!"
"So what are you going to do?" John questioned.
"Nothing really. It may take a while though before I could get those images out of my head. Jock or not, Bobby was one hell of a dream guy." Before they could analyze the situation more the first bell rang. Even though they had 5 minutes before homeroom started, all three seniors hurried since they all had to climb 3 flights of stairs.
Marie entered her Physics homeroom and sat down with a sigh. With dreams like hers, who needed reality!
AN/ So here is my new story! Since you made it this far REVIEW! I write faster when you do. I need to know if this story is worth pursuing. I changed most names (first and/or last) from the X-Men universe for 2 reasons: 1) Some needed to be created and 2) I was too lazy to look up spelling. Review!
Love all reviewers!
