T' Ivy zoe() Thank-you for reviewing. Two points I can make now Rogue had foresight before she died and she sent Addie there anyway. Knowing how everything would turn out! Also Rogue would want Remy to be happy and move on with his life instead of morning forever and slowly killing himself like at the beginning. That said hmm who knows how I'll end this story! I never said it was Remy that sent her the flowers. *evil grin* What if it was Scott or Professor X? Muwahahaha! Some people will like this story and some won't I guess that's your opinion. Those who know me know I would hate it if this happened in the real Marvel Universe. (Them killing off Rogue and stuff) But the story is partially a dream I had and demanded to be written I am just the vessel;) PS don't worry about Logan he and his gal are gettin' there own story next. Whoever she maybe.
Everyone else who liked mah story keep readin' thanks for reviewing! I'm having soo much fun!

A Whisper in the Night
Chapter 7
Wild Thang
By: Rogue Marie LeBeau
July 15th
Jean laid out the outfit that she had picked out for Adalida. Jubilee giggled.
"That's perfect" she squealed. "She'll look fabulous, if she doesn't kill us first. I love when Harry's has karaoke."
"Me too" Jean agreed "but how are we going to get Addie to sing?" Jean asked.
Jubilee told Jean her plan.
"Jubilee, that's awful" Jean laughed. "But it just might work."
"Now to get Addie to wear this. Then we kidnap her." Jubilee told Jean as the two charged onward to Addie's room.
**************************************************************************************************
"Ah can't believe ah let y'all talk me inta this." Addie told them as she tried to stretch her skirt down and pulled her top up to cover her chest.
She had her hair pulled back into a low ponytail. Addie's black leather skirt fell half way down her thighs. She also wore a low cut red leather vest top. The only things she actually felt comfortable in were the black and red boots and the black cowboy hat.
"How the heck am ah goin' out like this?" Addie asked.
"You look great Whisper." Jubilee told her.
Jean held up a set of keys. "See these?" she asked Addie, who nodded." There yours" Jean pointed to the window.
Addie looked out the window. There in the driveway sat a large red Dodge Ram. In the back window was a sticker that said if you can't Dodge it Ram it. She smiled.
"Mine really?" she shouted in delight.
"Yeah sometimes you may need to go into town or somewhere by yourself." Jean then added with a big grin. "The sticker was Logan's idea."
"Fine" Addie said feeling satisfyingly bribed. "Ah'll go but ah sure ain't singin' "
**************************************************************************************************
Two hours, three beers, and two daiquiris later Adalida stood on stage finishing the last line of 'Who's Bed Have Your Boot's Been Under'.
Jubilee and Jean clapped and whistled loudly as she finished the last note and left the stage to join her friends.
Just as she started to walk over to them Logan grabbed her around the waist and went to kiss her. Instead Addie gave him a hug and then slipped from his embrace. Logan backed up and mumbled something under his breath.
Remy and Scott had just gotten there and were talking to Jubilee and Jean. Only Remy had seen what had happened.
He walked over to Logan.
"Yer pushin' it homme" he whispered bitingly. "Better lay off o' dat beer until dat healin' factor o' yers kicks in"
Logan apologized to Addie and pushed away the rest of his beer.
"That's alright Logan" Addie told him "no harm done."
Remy noticed Adalida trying to fix her skirt. She looked very uncomfortable in those clothes. Remy took off his trench coat and handed it to Addie.
"Here dis'll make ya feel better," he told her as she slipped it on.
"Thank y' " Addie smiled at him as she and Remy joined the other four.
"We thought we'd stop by and have some dinner with you ladies." Scott told Jean.
"Yeah" Remy said "Logan's got night duty t'night an' me an' Cyke have a train' session early in de mornin'."
"Did you get to hear Addie sing" Jean asked the men.
"Non" Remy said shaking his head. He turned to Addie. "Maybe ya sing for us after dinner hein?"
Addie picked up her beer and took another drink. She nodded shyly and then looked up at Remy.
~That man's doin' sumthin funny t' mah heart~ she thought. Suddenly the letter Logan had given her the other day made sense. It had been from Marie. She was wanting Addie to be happy, to always follow her heart no matter where it may lead.
'Your heart will never lead you wrong' it had read.
~This couldn't be what Marie was talkin' 'bout could it. For cryin' out loud he was her husband~ Addie felt so uncertain.
Marie's letter had been so cryptic. Logan didn't read it but he did tell Addie about Rogue's foresight. Something that Rogue had briefly mentioned before she had died. So many things about that letter were so confusing.
~Well, ah'll just think 'bout it later. More than likely this is a whole bunch o' nothin. ~ She finally reasoned.
They ate, laughed and the girls had another beer.
"Jean are you, Jubilee, and Addie going to be all right after we leave?" Scott asked.
"We'll be fine Scott." Jean told him, "Do you think the three of us can't take care of ourselves? I'll get Logan to drive Addie's truck home and we'll take a cab."
Scott didn't want to ruin the girls' good time.
"OK" he agreed. "But if you aren't home by midnight I'm sending the Calvary after you."
"Are you going to turn my coach into a pumpkin too Mr. Summers?" she ribbed him good-naturedly.
"Ha, ha" he laughed "Is it a deal?"
"Sure" she told him with a small kiss.
Remy turned to Addie "D' we get t' here dat song now, petite?"
"Ah guess," she said smiling at him.
She walked up to the stage still wrapped in Gambit's coat. She gave the DJ her song selection. As the first note played her heart ached. This song would be difficult to sing but she knew she had to.
If I were the moon, I could
catch your eye I'm jealous of the moon
If I were the wind, I would
make you fly I'm jealous of that too
I wish I were the sun shining
on your face caressing like a lover
I would wrap you in a warm embrace
we'd be holdin' one another
(I'm jealous of the sun)
I'm jealous of the sun
(Jealous of the sun) Oh,
I'm jealous of the sun
Oh, I don't wanna share you with
nothing else I gotta have you to myself
Oh I can't help it I'm so in love
I just can't get you close enough, no
When the sun's on your skin
I can't hold it in
And I know it's a sin
but I'm jealous of the sun
Logan looked at her she was so beautiful. He closed his eyes and listened to the rest of her song.
I wish I were the rain runnin' down your
neck and drippin' from your fingers
Then I could be the drops rollin' off your
back I'd love to let it linger
(Jealous of the rain) Oh,
I'm jealous of the rain
Oh, I don't wanna share you with nothing
else I gotta have you to myself
Oh I can't help it I'm so in love
I just can't get you close enough, no
When it rains on your face
I almost can taste
Your beauty, your grace
I'm jealous of the rain
When the wind's in your hair
the way it blows through the air
Oh, it's seems so unfair, yeah
When the moon's in your eyes
you seem to light up the skies, yeah
And I realize
I'm even jealous of the moon
"Wow Jean your right she can sing" Scott told his wife.
Jubilee hugged Addie. "Whisper, that was great!"
"Thanks Jubes" She said returning the hug.
Adalida handed Logan her keys.
"Take care o' mah baby" she told him jokingly.
"Of course darlin'." He grinned and walked out to the Dodge.
Scott kissed his wife good-bye. "Midnight" he reminded her.
"Yes sir" she told him with a saucy salute.
Remy leaned over and whispered to Addie "Dat was tres belle mon ange."
Unfortunately because of the noise Adalida never heard a word he said.
After the men left Jean turned to the other two women.
"OK girls here's where we're going next." They all giggled and took Jean up on her offer.
**************************************************************************************************
Jean and Jubilee had partied like this before but poor Adalida was not used to it. They each had one of Addie's arms over their shoulders and helped her into the mansion.
Logan met them at the door.
"What happened?" he asked.
"I have no idea" Jean giggled "I remember leaving Harry's and the next thing I know we were in the cab."
"Well then what's wrong with her?" he asked again, this time pointing at Addie.
"She's just a little bit drunk. She'll be fine in the morning" Jean assured him.
"I'll take her," Logan said as he picked her up into his arms.
Adalida, now sound asleep, mumbled something and snuggled into Logan's broad chest.
Jubilee's happy face dropped as Wolverine carried Whisper to her room.
"I'm going t' bed Jean" Jubilee told her a little too loudly.
Jean was oblivious to what was going on.
"Night Jubilee" Jean said as she walked off for her and Scott's apartment.
**************************************************************************************************
Jubilee slammed her clothes into a suitcase. Whisper was such a sweet person and so beautiful.
~How can I compete with her? I love him so much it's breaking my heart. He'll forever see me as a kid. Regardless of the fact that Whisper and I are the same age. ~
She sat down to write Jean a letter.
Jean,
I'm taking Storm and Bish up on the offer of the teaching position. I've left for Massachusetts. Please don't come after me. I need some time away. Take care.
Love,
Jubilee
She walked down the stairs and tacked the envelope with Jean's name to the board. As the tears ran down her cheeks, she got into her Miata and drove off to teach at Xavier's Massachusetts school.
**************************************************************************************************
"Hey kid get up!" Logan yelled the next morning as he knocked on Jubilee's door.
"She's gone," Jean said from the foot of the stairs.
"Gone? Where? She's got breakfast duty this morning," he grumbled.
"She left for Massachusetts. 'Ro offered her a teaching position." Jean explained.
"Oh" was all that Logan could say. He felt like Sabertooth had ripped out his heart.
**************************************************************************************************
Addie awoke fully dressed and wrapped in Remy's trench coat.
It smelled like him. His cologne, Cajun spices from cooking, leather, and a smell that was just, well...Remy.
~That would explain mah interestin' dreams~ she thought as she felt her face heat up.
She let out a soft sigh.
~Why am ah torturin' mahself. He'll never care 'bout me like that. ~ She reasoned shaking her head.
She rolled over on her side and winced. Her left hip was sore. She pulled off the trench coat and lifted the waist of her skirt. Shocked she saw, there on her hip, a tattoo. A heart and written inside in flowing letter's were the words 'Remy's Gal'.
