"He won't be back." Kitty said shaking her head.

Lance sighed as he ran his fingers through his brown hair. "Well, it'll be a bit more quieter around the place without him around.

"Well we won't miss him." Evan said.

"That's for sure. Things can finally go back to normal." Scott added as Jean glared at both boys.

"Colin is the best thing that has probably ever happened to Rogue since she discovered being a mutant. The first one she could touch without sucking the life out of them or taking their powers." She said her green eyes flared with anger. Both boys stepped back seeing how angry the red head was getting. "And it doesn't matter if Pietro is the other person to be able to touch her. She can finally touch someone and she's happy. Not to mention the fact that if this is only temporary she'll turn back into being the Queen Bitch."

"I thought that was you?" Lance asked as Kitty quickly elbowed him in his gut.

"What's wrong?" Pietro asked.

"Why did ya go an` tell everyone that we were boyfriend an` girlfriend?"

"You mean we aren't?" He asked confused.

"No Pietro we're not. Cause usually a guy an` a girl talk `bout this before comin` to an important decision."

Pietro sighed and stared into her emerald green eyes. "I'm sorry Rogue. I just thought that since you can touch me and I can touch you and we're happy and we look like Colin's old parents that we were together."

****************************

"Who's he calling old?" FPietro asked glaring at his younger self.

"Calm down sweetie." FRogue told him smiling. "He's just sayin` tha same things ya said at one tahme."

"So at this point you'd be running into the arms of Summers or Daniels and our future and Colin's is destroyed."

"It won` change. It can` change. An` we'll make sure of it."

"But if we show ourselves…"

"No, ?Pietro ya know we can never show ourselves to our.. Other selves." Rogue told him. "Forge made this device that if they saw us it could change everythin` for us an` them. Their memories would be erased Colin an` their tahme together."

FPietro nodded. "I understand. We defiantly don't want that to happen." He said wrapping his arms around her body as she snuggled closer to him. "So do you think you'll be having Colin any time soon?"

Rogue smacked his arm lightly and hugged his arms. "Ah don` know."

****************************

"I'm sorry." Pietro said as her eyes widened. "What?"

"Did tha great Pietro Maximoff just apologize?"

"I…" He glares at her. "Very funny."

"Oh it is." Rogue said giggling. "Ah'll hafta call the paper an` the news an` um.. Lots of places." She said slowly walking back to the house

"Don't you dare." He said using none of his powers as he grabbed her arm and pulled her so she was up against his chest. "Rogue.. I um.. I care a lot about you."

"Yer not breakin` up with me before we even started datin` are ya?"

"What? No!" he said shaking his head. "I um.."

"Ya said that part already."

He put his finger to her lips. "Quiet. I like you a lot and would love for you to be my girlfriend. Would you?"

"Would ah what?"

"Be my girlfriend?"

Rogue pretended to think for a minute and sighed. "Fahne ah s`pose so." she said smiling.

"Great." He said kissing her quickly as he spun her around in the air.
