Royal Flush 9

Disclamier: Let's do the time warp again!

Review Responses:

Star-of-Chaos- If I had started watching Evo BEFORE when I did, (I started about two months before Season 4) like, during. everything else, I would have been a Rogue/Kurt shipper, but incest just puts a damper on my fun. It's something they would do too (Being all loving and comforting and siblingish), Kurt is a sweet affectionate guy. And Rogue could too. Just watch the earlier episodes, I was watching Middleverse last night, and they could DEFINATLY work out. Or it's just subtle hints. Like in the movie, the Mystique/Kurt conversation. Rambling!

Ishandahalf- SUPER BABY! Never watched Passions. Should I? Or do I not need the extra addiction? *In darth vadar voice:* Mary. Come join the dark side. Feel free to ramble on!

Aro- I always win. I am the author. What are you confused about?

Roguesheart- I like your new plot. The Romy. I must admit. doesn't come for a while. But, I think, there is a bloody brilliant HUGE Romy moment in the last sentence of the entire fic. I think that's where all the Romy went.

Duck3- COOKIES! WOOHAA! I'd like. Oreos, and Emi cookie cookie snacks, oh wait, I invented those, and Spaztic Yellow Cookie's. (Made those too.) Are you crying? I'm sorry if I made you cry.

Rogue77- No, I didn't have any sugar. this time. Yeah, I know, poor Rogue. Mary is a very random person. But I'm randomer. Oh, look! A duck!

- Go here and sign it. ~

"Don't say a word, Bri," Amara warned Bri when Rogue and Kurt came down for breakfast.

"I won't, after all, Tabby's got pictures," Bri responded.

"And I've got a calendar!" Riche was looking through her birthday calendar, yet again.

"Please, not at breakfast."

"But you helpt take them, Salem!"

"Will ya'll stop arguin' an' hand meh the pancakes?" Rogue held out her hand for the plate.

"Someone is chipper today," Tabby commented.

"Ah got a good nights sleep," Rogue replied as Bri started giggling.

"Don't say a word, Bri. Not a word."

"Vhat ez zis about?" Kurt asked.

"Nothing!" The girls chorused.

"Hey, ez shat me? Mien gott! Vho took zhat picture?" Kurt demanded, seizing the calendar from Riche. No one said anything, but all eyes drifted to Tabby and Salem.

Soon school astarted again, and not to long after that, it was time for Rogue's birthday. And who better to put in charge of it that The Freaky Five? Actually, a lot of people, but for the sake of the story, go with me here.

"Pink!"

"Blue!"

"Yellow!"

"Purple!"

"Pink!"

"No! Purple!"

"Guys, how about green?"

"NO!" The girls yell almost projected Bobby across the room.

"How about a Vegas theme then?"

"Yes!" The girls yell almost projected Bobby across the room. Again.

"Okay," Riche said, taking control. "We need streamers, fake money, cards, lights."

"Strippers?" Bobby suggested.

"Yes, we need those," Riche replied absentmindedly.

"I'll call Playboy!" Bobby picked up the phone to dial.

"Wait! No, we don't!" Riche seized the phone from Bobby and handed it to Bri who sat on it. A few minutes later, they heard a muffled ring.

"What's that?" Bri asked.

"Um, Bri, your butt's ringing," Bri hopped off the phone and turned it on.

"Hello?.... No, she's not here.. Nope. No party.. Don't come. Stay away.. Good bye," Bri hung up the phone.

"Who was that?" Salem asked.

"Well, lets just say a certain ERC won't be coming to any parties here."

"Bri, you talked with her boyfriend and didn't invite him?" Bobby asked.

"Oui, mon petite ami."

"It's Vegas themed Logan. VEGAS! Why did you put them in charge of it?" Rogue whined to Logan who was escorting her to the staircase to make her big debut in Society. It was Hanks idea.

"At least Bobby didn't get away with ordering a stripper. Or a cake dancer," He whispered.

"A stripper? Oy vey," She smacked her palm against her forehead. By then, they had reached the staircase. Logan abandoned Rogue's arm and she walked down the staircase. Everyone started applauding and in spite of herself, she grinned. Her eyes rested on a young man with red hair at the poker table, losing. Badly. As soon as she stepped off the staircase, she ran to him and threw around him, causing him to spill his (few) poker chips. "Welcome to Mutant Manor, John."

"You know better than ta scare an Australian during poker, Shiela!" John grinned.

"Ah'm glad you came. Where's Remy?" She looked around.

"He didn't get an invitation. Well, neither did I. But I heard Speedy-Boy blabbin' about it ta Mags, and I thought that Remy had totten an invitation, so Ijust popped in and didn't mention it to Remy."

"So you still workin' for Magneto?"

"No, I quit. I heard about it before though."

"It's a revolution! Did Piotr quit?"

"He would have, but he needed the money to take care of his family."

"Oh. John, fold," She pointed at his hand.

"Thanks Shiela."

"No problem. Ah've got ta 'mingle' as Mr. McCoy would put it," Rogue walked off.

"Scottie, I don't think this music is good for Mary's ears," Jean whinned.

"Jean, do you really want to abandon Rogue's 18th birthday party?" Scott looked at the forlorn jean.

"Yes," Scott sighed and rolled his eyes, vowing to return later for drinks.

"Ah knew this party was gunna suck, Kitty," Rogue was standing by the punch bowl.

"No, it doesn't. Too bad Remy's not here," Kitty took a sip of the punch.

"Shut up, Kitty."

"Rogue, whenever your ready, we can open up presents," Professor Xavier said.

"Ah got presents?" Rogue asked.

"Of course, Everyone, gather around, we're going to open up presents." Xavier told the crowd. Soon, Rogue was situated on the couch with unopened presents around her and everyone waiting for her.

The first presnt was from Jamie. He had given her a black T-Shirt that said 'I heart ragin' Cajun's.'

Sam had given her a camera. "Don't let Tabby get a hold of it," He had said.

Bri had given her a new swimsuit. "The old one was threadbare on the bottom."

Salem had gotten her new earrings. "I'll take you to St. Sabrina's to pierce your bellybutton. They're great."

Bobby gave her a hat, similar to the one he wears with it's earflaps flappin'.

Riche gave her lots of chocolate, as chocolate was good.

Roberto had given her a personalized Soccer ball. She took it as a sign she had to be more active.

Ray had given her a corset.

"Are you callin' meh fat, Crisp?" She demanded, making a move to take off her gloves.

"No, it was Tabby's idea!" He backed up.

"Tabby?"

"Yeah?" Tabby wasn't scared.

"Thwap Ray for meh." Ray then hit Ray lightly on the head.

The next present was from Amara, who gave her a plastic crown.

Tabby had given her a modified calendar, with only Remy on it.

Jean and Scott and Mary had given her a pink Dress.

Kitty gave her a bunch of CDs.

Kurt gave her a $150 certificate to any store in the Bayville Mall.

Logan gave her new motorcycle boots.

Ororo gave her a bonsai tree.

Hank gave her a new pair of gloves. And Xavier gave her another key. A key to a new room. He told her that it was already furnished.

Wanda had given her a book called "How to loose a guy who is obsessed with you in 1 day" By someone called W. Ffomixam. Sounds foreign.

Todd gave her a door handle.

"What's this," She asked him.

"Donno, Mystique's door knob, maybe?" Rogue resisted the urge to throw it at his head. After all, that was Wanda, or should I say, W. Ffomixam's job. Fred gave her a cheeseburger and promptly ate it. Lance gave her a mini- globe.

"Now you can shake the world too." Pietro give her a sexy black dress.

"Ah like it, where'd ya get it?"

"Will you kill me if I tell you it was Mystique's?"

"No. Ah'll let Wanda handel you. Then, if there's any left of you standing, Ah'll kill you.

"Okay, I stole it."

"Much better."

Forge, who rocks, gave her a cell phone with everything you could possibly want on it.

Lastly, John gave her a 24 pack of Root Beer, her Ex-Acolyte uniform and a lighter.

"Now can I borrow it?" He asked, referring to the lighter.

"No."

"If that's all, who's up for cake?" Xavier was nearly stampeded by mutants who all wanted cake. And that's when all hell broke loose. It all started when Ray commented on Wanda's hair.

"Check out Maximoff's hair, Sam."

"Which one?"

"Wanda. Looks like a stylist on coke got to it."

"You're a fine one to talk, Crisp!" Wanda had unusually good hearing, heard it from across the room.

"So says Miss Asylum," He replied flatly. A lightbulb shattered.

'"Ray, you should quit. You don't know who you're dealing with." Amara warned.

"Yes, I do. Magneto's reject of a daughter."

"You just crossed the line," SCHMACK! Good word, good work. A large piece of Devil's f ood cake hit him in the face. It took him just a few seconds to register what had happened. He then grabbed a slice of cake and hurled it at the closest Maximoff to him. Pietro. Pietro saw it coming and ducked, letting the cake hit Riche in the face.

"Ray! You are so dead!" Riche hurled her cake back at him.

"FOOD FIGHT!" Jamie yelled before getting hit in the side of the face with a cake, knocking a few multiples out of him to his advantage.

And so the full fledged food fight began. It was to go down in X-Men history as the bloodiest and biggest food fight to date.

A few hours later, everyone who had to leave was leaving. Last to leave was John.

"Tell Remy that Ah missed him, and Ah'll stop by this weekend," Rogue winked at John. "An' here's his cake. You know what to do with it."

"No problem. Remy has it coming anyway," John grinned.

"Ba bum bum bad a da bump bum. He had it coming, he had it coming, he had it coming all the long, if you'd a been there, if you'd a seen it, I bettcha you would have done the same! Pop six squish un-uh Cicero Lipshits." Amara, Tabby, Salem, Bri and Riche walked by singing.

"That was scary, neh? Fit in right too, Shiela." John laughed, playing with his lighter.

"Good night, John," Rogue smirked.

"Night, Shila," John then shut the door behind him.

"I don't like that Australian," Logan muttered.

"He's insane, not all bad," Rogue said.

"Yeah, sure, Stripes, whatever you say."
