It Was All A Dream

Chapter 14

Time to Wake Up

            Marie gripped Bobby's shoulders as she let all the emotions flow through her. Her past life flashed through her eyes but it didn't matter. For the first time in a long time she was with the man she loved. The police no longer mattered; Steve no longer mattered. Her hormones urged her to continue. Her ankle stopped hurting as she clung to Bobby. What seemed like hours passed in an instant, when suddenly it happened.

            Bobby struggled against Marie as she became the rogue again. His life force was yanked away from him, as Marie's skin instantly became fatal. She ignored all the pleasure she was receiving from his energy as she managed to push him aside. He collapsed on top of her shuddering, just like she remembered everyone else doing. His thoughts mixed with hers, but Marie pushed them back. "Bobby! Wake up!" She started to scream as she shook his body. But he stopped moving, stopped breathing. "Bobby! NO!"

            Marie no longer cared about the police. She wept as the closet door opened, and hands wrapped around her. She just hung on to Bobby Drake…the only man she loved in two lifetimes.

            The lights shown brighter and the hands became rougher. And all she did was cry.

            "Rogue? Rogue wake up!"

            Marie D'Ancanto, who was also known as Rogue, jolted up from her bed heaving. Sweat mixed with tears dripped down her face. Her roommate Jubilation Lee was at her bed side. She was the one who woke Rogue up from her nightmare.

            Rogue glanced down at her sleeping gloves in the dim light and then quickly pulled her hair in front of her face. She sighed in relief when she saw her white skunk strip. She looked up at Jubilee. "Where are we?"

            Jubilee raised her eyebrow. "In our bed room."

            "No I mean we are at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, right?"

            "Yes, unless we are supposed to be somewhere else. Rogue, are you alright?"

            Her power ran through her skin. And instead of being angry at her curse, she was happy she was herself and not just an ordinary person. She jumped up and gave her friend a big hug, though carefully. "It's good to be home!"

            Then her dream hit her full force. Without warning she jumped up from her bed and bolted over Jubilee. She needed to make sure Bobby was ok.

            Bobby Drake also called Iceman burrowed his head deeper into the covers. He fought with his own conscience to keep himself from waking into the real world. He just wanted to stay a little longer in a world where he could kiss Rogue without the fear of getting hurt.

            He sighed as the dream seemed to end by itself. He snuggled deeper into the covers as he lay in his bed, mentally calculating how much longer he had to wake up. Figuring he had hours before his first class, he mentally relived his dream.

            It had seemed so realistic that high school world, even after he transported some of his classmates and teachers into it. He chuckled to himself as he pictured the religious Kurt Wagner being the frat boy Ken Walker, or how Ms. Munroe managed to be portrayed exactly how she was in real life. And wouldn't Pyro laugh at the image of himself playing a geek and fawning over Jubilee. But there was someone who wasn't misrepresented. No, Marie was the same feisty girl inside his dream world as she was in real life.

            But one thing disturbed him. What was with all the dreams inside his dreams? Yeah, some things had happened in real life, but as of yet, he had not married Marie, and nor had the Mutant Registration Act been passed. And certainly he wasn't dead. What did that all mean?

            Before Bobby could contemplate anymore, his door was slammed open. Bobby shot up from his bed, ready to freeze the intruder when he recognized Rogue.

            "Rogue! Where is the fire?"

            "Fire?" She seemed to be in a daze as she rushed to his side. "What fire?"

            Bobby shook his head. "I meant, why are you in my bedroom in the middle of the night? Not that I completely mind…"

            Rogue stood at the side of his bed, suddenly feeling foolish. "I, um, I just came cause…" she paused as she thought how to phrase it, "I had a bad dream."

            Bobby became confused, "One of Logan's dreams again…"

            "No, no, in this one…I don't know how to say it."

            Bobby fought the urge to look at his watch for the time. "Just say it."

            "We were these high school students, but we didn't like each other, and we decided to go to this party but I didn't want to, and we ended up having these dreams about our lives here…and then you were dead in this life time, so I had to see you when I woke up…" She kept on rambling.

            "Shh, Marie calm down. It was all a dream." He paused for a moment. "You had a dream like that? You swear?"

            Rogue nodded. "Yeah, why?"

            "Because I just had the same dream…was I drunk at all?"

            "Drunker than a sailor."

            He bit his lip, "Did I play soccer?"

            "You were the star."

            "Did I kiss you on the…"

            "dance floor, yeah."

            They stared at each other for a moment. "Weird." They both said at the same time.

            Rogue sat down on the bed and Bobby hugged her. "Nothing bad is going to happen to me. It was only a dream."

            Rogue sighed. "Yeah, one freaky dream."

            They sat like that for a while, just enjoying each other company when Bobby thought of something. "Do you have a brother named Steve?"

            Rogue looked up, "No. Why?"

            "Because Ronny was in my dream and I thought…."

            "that I had a sibling named Steve. He did play an important role didn't he? But I am an only child."

            Bobby hummed. "Weird and I wonder why your last name was O'Brien. I mean I was still Drake but D'Ancanto to O'Brien? I don't get it."

            Rogue sighed as she cuddled closer. "I just hope that those dreams don't come true. I want everything to stay the same."

            Bobby smiled. "Everything but this." And he leaned down and kissed her. Quickly but he kissed her still.

AN/ Only one more chapter left! I am going to tell you who is Steve in the X-Men world and why he is important. And to answer the        question…Does the future presented in the dreams happen? This story is odd isn't it? Keep on reviewing! Keep it up 'til the end!

Love to all my great reviewers,
