It was All a Dream
AN/ Hey wonderful people who made it to chapter three of my story! Thank you to everyone who reviewed. 20 reviews for 2 chapters! Isn't that amazing? So here I am, back to write another chapter. Keep up the good work.
Notes: Julie does equal Jubilee
John does equal Pyro
No teachers as of yet represent any one from X-Men but just wait for it. I will try to make them fairly obvious!
Keep up with all the reviewing!

Chapter 3
Fights and IM's
Marie stood outside her house in a daze. She barely acknowledged her brother as a streaked into the house. Marie wasn't puzzled about why her brother had arrived home with Bobby Drake, but she was confused about the look he sent her from his car. Everything inside her had frozen and she felt like she couldn't move. And with that one look she flashed into another reality.
Rogue sat in front of Bobby on Blackbird. John had just walked down the metal steps to go join the effort against William Stryker. The silence between the two was deafening.
"What is going to happen, Bobby?"
Bobby sat there troubled. "I don't know. With the help of Magneto, I am sure everyone will get out safely."
Rogue reached across the gap between them and places her gloved hand on his cold bare one. "No, I mean what is going to happen between us."
He looked puzzled. "What do you mean between us?"
Rogue sighed, "How can we be in a relationship that because of my powers, you can't even touch me? How can we continue without killing one another?"
Bobby looked shocked. "Not all relationships require touch, even the romantic. I love you, Marie, without touching you, I love you because you are the caring, compassionate person you are, and I would love you Marie, even if you did not have your mutant power because all I love is you." He said with the passion breaking in his voice.
Marie went to hug him and held on tight. That is when down under Alkali Lake, Professor Charles Xavier started concentrating on his mutants.
Marie blasted herself out of the thought. The pain in her daydream almost felt real. She walked slowly up her front steps and slipped inside the Victorian style house. She left her book bag on the floor beside the entry way. She walked into the living room and sat next to Steve. Steve was munching down on a TV dinner in front of the TV since both of their parents did not seem to be back from work yet.
"Why didn't you pick me up after practice, Marie?" He said with food hanging down his mouth.
"I didn't know I was supposed to be your chauffer! It seems you got home alright." She snapped at him.
Steve turned his attention from M*A*S*H. "Yeah, Bobby asked if I needed a ride. If not I would have been stuck there until tomorrow."
"We wouldn't want that to happen." She murmured.
"What?" Steve snarled, ready to have a yelling match with his sister.
"All I said it seems you are getting buddy-buddy with the star jerk… I mean jock."
"God, you're vile. What did Bobby ever do to you? At least he is better then those Drama freaks you associate with!"
"Just because my friends have class, does not mean you can insult them!"
"And just because Bobby has taste, doe not mean you can insult them. You would never see him go out with Julie."
Marie saw red. Sometimes she wished she could murder her brother. "Correction, Julie wouldn't date Ice boy for any amount of money!" She yelled.
Steve looked more confused than usual. "Ice boy?"
Marie noticed her error and jumped out of the couch and stormed upstairs where when she got into her bedroom, she slammed the door shut.
"Woman." Steve muttered and turned his attention back at the 4077.
Marie sat down at her computer desk and started punching down at the buttons. Her little brother had annoyed the heck out of her and it bother her more that she slipped into mutant world during a conversation. She entered onto the Internet and read briefly over her junk mail.
All of a sudden an IM box popped up.
FIREYBAND: Hey Re!
She laughed as she typed to John.
TheRedRogue: Hi, can I send the little boy star to Tahiti?
FIREYBAND: What did Steve do?
TheRedRogue: Tried to tell me that the man of my dreams resembles a human.
FIREYBAND: Can't be that bad. Why does it even bother you? Just because Drake ruins your sleep at night doesn't mean you should take it out on the rest of us, even if they are Steve!
Marie thought about it for a moment.
TheRedRogue: Maybe you are right.
Auto message from FIREYBAND: I went to go find myself some metal and a shape shifter, call the cell if it is a dire message like N SYNC is going to come and rape me. If not hold your horses.
Marie felt better after she talked to her friend. She clicked his box off and went to turn on her stereo. She became absorbed in the Moulin Rouge soundtrack when the little IM noise sounded. Figuring John cam back online she went to type a response when she realized she did not recognize the name.
TotallyTouchableIce: Hey!
Marie couldn't see his profile but responded anyway.
TheRedRogue: Hi! Umm..who is this?
TotallyTouchableIce: It is Max.
TheRedRogue:?
TotallyTouchableIce: I sit behind you in Ms. Munroe's history class.
TheRedRogue: Oh. Sorry, I just drew a blank. How could I help you?
TotallyTouchableIce: I was wondering if you would help me do a survey for my brother's Psyche class.
TheRedRogue: Sure, I guess. When?
TotallyTouchableIce: I will email it to you. Oh I gotta go. Thanks Rogue.
Marie said goodbye and signed of the internet herself. It wasn't until later when she was writing an English paper did she wonder why he referred to her as Rogue. Shaking it off as a freaky mistake caused by her screen name, Marie sent her paper to herself and got into bed. She silently prayed that tonight she could avoid her dream.
If only it was that easy.
