"No." Rogue stood with her arms crossed.
"But chere! De wedding in Las Vegas would be good non?" Remy fell to his knees begging.
"Non." Rogue imitated Remy's French accent. "Sugah, the weddin's two weeks away!"
"You're getting married in the gardens, don't disagree with the girl, she might kill you." Bobby walked past the two mutants.
Rogue nodded in agreement and Remy gave up, lying on the floor staring at the ceiling.
"Remy? When are your guild friends comin'?" Rogue questioned.
"In a few hours petit chere. Don't worry, dey no steal anything." Remy grinned cheekily.
"Ah sincerely doubt that sugah." Rogue shook her head.

Rogue, Jubilee, Ororo, Jean and Kitty all sat at the table in the kitchen with a cup of coffee each, eagerly discussing the dresses for the nearby wedding.
"I am so happy you made us bridesmaids! Those lilac strapless dresses you bought are gorgeous Rogue!" Jubilee squealed.
Rogue smiled as the rest of the girls agreed fervently.
"So, what about your wedding dress Rogue?" Jean asked sneakily.
"Nu uh. Only 'Ro and Ah know what it looks like." Rogue tapped her nose.
Before the women could protest, the doorbell rang. Ororo stood up and ran to the door.
**~~**
Remy and Logan looked up as the doorbell rang.
"That be your guild friends Cajun?" Logan asked.
Remy nodded and suppressed a laugh.
"Stormy answerin' dey bell! Da guild love annoyin' her!" Remy laughed.
**~~**
Ororo ran to answer the frantically ringing doorbell. She flung the door open and threw a welcoming smile to the twenty odd members of the thief's guild Remy had once resided with.
Ororo's smile faded though as the man at the front, Jean-Luc, Remy's "father" grinned in the same way Remy did whenever they watched "that scene" from Swordfish. Ororo waited for someone to move, dreading the worst. Last time they had come, they stole all of her underwear and sold it on e-bay, claiming it was Halle Berry's.
"One, two, three…" Jean-Luc whispered.
The other thieves around him laughed insolently.
"BONJOUR STORMY!" They cried in unison.
Ororo slapped her forehead and slammed the door shut in their laughing faces. She spun round and there stood Remy LeBeau himself, obviously he had witnessed everything.
Remy opened his mouth to speak.
"Say one word Cajun and will not be dry for a week." Ororo threatened.
She stormed up the stairs and as soon as she was out of sight, Remy hurled the door open.
"Mes amis! Pere!" Remy embraced them all one by one.
"Hey, what's wrong with Stormy? She don't seem to like us all that much…" Remy's old friend Aria, or sneak walked over with a cheekier grin than Remy's and her blue eyes twinkled.
Remy beamed, for years him and Aria had stolen so many things it was countless. Aria was a mutant too, her powers were extremely useful for a thief, she could blend into any background or surface.
Her blue streaked brown hair bounced and she hugged Remy forcefully.
"Hey Cajun? How's the kitty doing? He killed ya…" Aria stopped suddenly when Logan himself walked in.
Remy grinned cheekily and laughed uncontrollably.
"Oh god no! Not her!" Logan turned on his heel and ran.
Aria grinned and pursued Logan, she had visited Remy a few years ago and vivid memories of her painting Logan's claws bright pink still gave Logan nightmares.
Remy, oblivious to this, watched her run with a confused expression.
"So son, where be your belle bride?" Jean Luc asked.
"Ah'm right here honey! What ya do to Ororo? She's making little rain clouds everywhere!" Rogue flew in and smiled charmingly.
"Um… dat's not important… so, where be dey plane to Las Vegas?" Jean Luc said innocently.
"REMY! WHAT DID I SAY!?!?" Rogue screamed in frustration.
"No more Las Vegas…" Remy took to his heels and ran.
"Why am Ah getting' married? Ah can picture it now, me with nine kids and him blowin' up stuff to amuse the kids…" Rogue muttered while flying away.
"Gonna be one hell of a wedding!" A thief member chuckled lightly.
