Must be Dreaming Chapter 7. Love Hurts

Kitty spun around, and came face to face with non other than the Cajun himself. Kitty sent him a glare, "And just, like, where have you been?", Kitty asked in her best angry tone, as she placed both hands on her hips. Gambit raised his eyebrows at the angry Kitty, amazed at how much she looked like Rogue at the moment.

"You have got a lot to answer for", Kitty continued, not letting answer her question. "What do you think your doing playing with Rogues feelings like that?", kitty asked. Gambit just looked down at the small brunet, and was about to answer but she cut him off again, "I hop your happy Gambit, you are responsible for all this", she said pointing to the murderous Rogue, ramming her car into another helpless drivers, to occupied with creating as much chaos as possible to notice Gambit's arrival.

"De Rogue is just having some fun, non?", Remy asked, the equally murderous looking Kitty, not really sure if he was responsible behavior in the tin car, or sure if her really wanted to know.

Just then a scream was heard as Rogue slammed her car into a poor woman's, coursing the driver to scream, as her car was sent to collide forcefully with the side.

"Oh, I am so glad I'm not you right now", Kitty stated as they watched the scene in front of them, "Rogue is mad, and you made her that way".

Gambit sighed and looked at the brunet that had continued her death stare at him. "Remy guess he has some explaining to do?", he said, letting his head bow slightly, as he realized the task he had ahead of him.

"Like, it's not like me you have to explain to", Kitty said, as she finally stopped glaring at Gambit, realizing that her getting up Remy was use less, considering he had yet to face Rogue, and whatever punishment she had, would be nothing compared to what Rogue would have in store for him. Gambit nodded in acknowledgement of Kitty's words.

The music echoing from the speakers stopped, and the cars began to slow. Rogue sat back in the seat and looked around the rink. She was situated in the middle, whereas all the other cars were clustered around the edges. Rogue couldn't help it, she felt so much better after letting all that steam out, so she released an evil cackle, which caused many of the frazzled drivers to cast her sideways glances. As Rogue left the car and made her way to the side, all the drivers that were getting out of the arena jumped back, giving the Goth a wide berth, afraid that she might not have finished her violent campaign. Rogue could not help but smile at this.

She made her way out of the rink, and to where she last saw Kitty. "Kitty, you were right Ah feel much better n....", she said once she found her roommate, but quickly stopped her sentence when she saw who was standing beside her.

Rogue froze, and just stood there staring at Remy, while her mind tried to comprehend the situation. During her road rage outburst Rogue had forgotten all her troubles, and the feeling of releasing all her built up energy was great, but as she stood there staring at the Cajun the emotions that had not been spent rose to the surface.

Kitty stood and watched on nervously, as the couple just stared at each other, waiting for Rogue to lash out at him or something. After several moments of an uncomfortable silence Kitty decided to break it. "Like, I'm going to get some more fairy floss", she said, before turning and hightailing it out of there as fast as her legs would carry her.

The couple watched Kitty retreat into the crowd, before turning their attention back to each other. Rogue's face hardened, as she sent her most vicious death glare in his direction, but before she could say anything Gambit spoke. "We need to talk chere, but not hear", he said looking around at the large crowd.

With that, he gently took the angry Rogue's hand, and lead started to weave them through the crowd. Gambit skillfully lead them through, while Rogue continued to send him a death glare. Finally they broke through the crowd, but they didn't stop there, Remy continued to lead Rogue until he reached the walking path that joggers mostly used. He stopped in the middle of the path and turned to face Rogue. She pulled her hand out of his grip and continued her stair, while she placed both hands on her hips, and waited for his explanation.

"Look, Remy knows dat you got things to say, so he's gonna let you say what you have to say, and den Remy will have his turn".

"You wont like what I have to say", Rogue growled.

Dat's ok chere, Remy can take it", that was probably not the best thing to say, and Gambit soon regretted it, as his face meet Rogues fist. Rogue had punched him square in the jaw. The force behind the punch was amazing considering Rogue was actually going easy on him. Gambit did not have enough time to brace himself, and the result of the force, and surprise of the punch, had him landing on his backside as he overbalanced.

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN REMY LABEAU ?!!", she screamed so loud that nesting birds flew from their trees.

The emotional rollercoaster was getting to Rogue, and she could feel her eyes glaze over slightly from tears trying to fight their way to the surface, but Rogue held them back. Remy looked up from his position on the ground and into Rogues glassy eyes. He could feel his hart sink as he realized she was fighting back tears.

"Ah missed you!", she yelled, voice cracking from the unshed tears. A normal person would have broken down in tears ages ago, but Rogue continued to hold hers back.

Remy got up from the ground, knowing what he had to do. He held his arms open waiting to receive the emotional Rogue. Rogue launched herself into his arms, hitting him in the chest as one last punishment, before giving up and burying her face into his shoulder, as the she finally released the tears. Remy wrapped his arms around her, bring her as close as he could.

"I missed you to chere", he whispered into her ear, in first person to show how serious he was.

He held Rogue tighter as he brought his head down on the top of her head, so he could breathe in the smell of her hair.

"Remy sorry, but he was called back home. Remy was going to leave a note, but it was urgent and he had to leave immediately. There was trouble in the guilds dat they needed Remy to sort out", he explained this all to her, as he stroked her hair and swayed slightly. He could feel her tears soaking through his clothes, so he continued to sway her in an attempt to help them stop.

"Why didn't you call, or write or something and tell me where you were?, and how come you didn't see me first?, Ah would have come with you", Rogue asked, not bothering to remove her head from its position on Remy's shoulder.

"I told you chere, it was urgent, and as much as I would have loved to have your company, I didn't want to drag you further my mess than I already have", He spoke softly in her ear, using first person to show how serious he was being.

Rogue excepted his answer, and closed her eyes. All of her emotions had been spent. The tears had stopped flowing, and the emotional drain had officially exhausted her. Rogue brought her hands up and wrapped them around his neck, nuzzled her face further into his shoulder, and leaned harder into him, transferring most of her weight to him. Remy happily took the new weight, and kissed her through her hair, as he continued the swaying motion. They stayed in this tender embrace for several minuets. Rogue was finally at peace, her mind blissfully blank for the first time in weeks, as all her anger and worry faded into the back of her mind, and time no longer mattered to her. Although Remy's jaw was throbbing, he brushed it aside figuring it was worth getting it for what he was experiencing now.

"Do you forgive Remy chere ?", he whispered tenderly into her ear, not wanting to ruin the moment by speaking to loud.

Rogue gave a little laugh into his shoulder, before pulling back and looking up into his face. "If Ah hadn't forgiven you, you'd be dead by now swamp rat".

Remy looked down at her smiling. He ran a hand across his jaw, that was fast turning a shade of black. "Dat I could believe", he said, ignoring the pain that rubbing his hand across it caused.

"Oh, Did Ah hurt poor little Gambit?", Rogue cooed.

Remy let out a laugh, it was a sound Rogue had not heard before, and it sent a warm feeling through her body. "But Remy thinks he deserved it, non?"

"Well I though you did Cajun,....so what are we gonna do now?", Rogue asked, knowing they couldn't stay holding each other in the park, no matter how tempting the possibility was.

"Well Remy could think of many things chere", he said, raising his eye brows in a suggestive manner, coursing Rogue to blush, "But de night is young, and Remy be wondering if you would like to join him in a round of Dodgem cars?".

Rogue burst out laughing, "Ok Cajun, you're on, but don't come crying to me when I slam into your sorry hide". Gambit laughed, and wrapped his arm around her waist. The night had started so badly for Gambit, between being interrogated by kitty, and receiving Rogues fist in his face, but he couldn't feel any better now, leading Rogue back to the fair, because she was by his side, and that was all that mattered.

Well that was incredibly soppy, but we all need a bit of fluff in our lives. Oh, and Gambit wasn't telling the whole truth,... well he was, but he just left out a few details. Don't worry Logan is coming back, he is fine, I don't have him lying in a ditch some where bleeding to death, but he is going to have a few more days away before I bring him back.
