The Park pt.1
After school Lance, Fred, Pietro, and Toad took a drive to the institute to check on Rogue. Pietro was very anxcious to check on Rogue. He raced up through the gates and rang the door. Logan answered the door. "Hi. What do you want, Pietro?" he asked. "I came to see Rogue. So, can I see her?" "Just don't upset her, or I'll personally through you out." "You know I wouldn't." Pietro let Lance, Fred, and Toad in too." Up in Rogue's room she was taking a long hot bubble bath to relax and clear her head. "Now what should I do? I can't go through this rehearsal tomorrow. Maybe I could ask Mrs. Brock to get a new partner." She finished her bath, put on some clothes, and opened up a new book she had recentally gotten as a gift from Kitty. Then came a knock at the bedroom door. "Come in." Pietro walked in the lighted room and saw Rogue sitting on her bed reading her book. "Hey. How are you feeling?" "A bit frightened. This might be a bit impossible or odd, but I want to ask Mrs. Brock if I could get a new partner." "That sounds like a good idea, but you know how teachers are." "Until I can, I guess I still have to go to the park with him." Pietro thought for a minute to what his girlfriend was saying. "Wait a second. I have an idea. Shades, Jean, Kitty, Lance, and I could offer to be like a practice audience." "Thank you so much, I should call him and tell about our plan." Rogue looked up Alan's number in the phonebook, called, and told Alan of the little audience that would watch them practice their parts. Now Rogue could feel a lot better knowing Alan couldn't try anything with witnesses around. Pietro and Lance decided to stay over in a spare room in case the attacker came to try anything. Kitty and Rogue went to bed after finishing their loads of homework. Rogue drifted into a for once peaceful sleep. Outside a dark figure stands watching Kitty and Rogue's bedroom window. Slowly he found a way to unlatch the widow's lock and cautiously opened it so he wouldn't wake either teen. After sneaking in the bedroom he sat on the widow seal and watched Rogue sleep. His red and black eyes watching for any sign of stirring giving his cue to leave. "Poor chere (I think it means dear in French. If you haven't figured it out yet it is Remy a.k.a Gambit watching Rogue sleep.). Remy had been 'keeping an eye on' Rogue for some time now and knew of the goings on over the past weeks. 'Ah mus' protect tha chere, but where should ah start?' he thought. The young man then got an idea. 'Us Alcolytes could lend a hand, but Mags wouldn't lahke(like) though. Oh ah don' care. She needs help!' Kitty stirred under her mass of covers. Remy quickly hid in a good concealing spot. Kitty sat up, let out a small yawn, and went to the bathroom. About two minutes later Kitty came back to her bed and went back to sleep. 'That was too close, ah should before ah get caught.' With that Remy cawled quietly down to the lawn and ran back to Magneto's hideout. The next morning Kitty's alarm went off and she phased her hand through her clock. "Rogue, it's time to get up." Rogue just pulled her covers over her head in response. "I know how to get you up." Kitty wispered to herself. She walked over to a vase on a small table full of flowers Lance had given her after a date. Kitty carefully took the two red roses out of the vase of water, walked over to Rogue, and pours the water all over her roomate. "KITTY! YOU BETTA(better) RUN FOR YER(your) LAHFE(life)!" "Oh, boy!" Kitty race through the door and down the stairs.
