Hi all! Did ya miss me? Okay this is an interesting chapter and I really
hope ya'll like it. This chapter is all about Romance, pairings,
mushiness, and all that good stuff.
I took Kendarath's hammer of inspiration and hit myself over the head with it so I was able to give you guyz this chapter but now ihave writer's block AND a headache from the hammer. :P
I was still having a little writer's block but I dragged myself through it long enough to give you guyz this story. Ny brain hurts now! So plz if u didn't like this chapter just know that that's why.
Okay people there is something you need to know before you read the following chapter. When you see this *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Then it means that someone is going into a dream or coming out of it. Though just so you know, I may not use the *~*~*~* thing with all the dreams but that is to make it a little clearer for ya'll.
Oh and by the way just so you know, for this chapter I'm having one song in it. You know like some fics have lyrics to songs put in there. Well I'm putting lyrics to a song in there because I want to and I think that the song playing in the background of the scene would be really neat and its my fic so don't complain plz. Its lyrics when it starts like // and ends like \\ So just picture those words being sung during the end of the scene when the lyrics start and that's what I picture.
Okay that's all I wanted to say.

...And now for your feature presentation..
CHAPTER 9 Dreams of desire.
"Do you have any sevens?" Kitty asked in a bored tone.
"No." Piotr answered in an identically bored tone. "Go fish."
Kitty picked up another card from the pile and put it down beside her with a matching card from her hand.
"I can't believe you two are playing that idiotic game!" Pietro said from the driver's seat.
"Do you want to drive or not?" Colossus asked wearily.
"Hell yeah." Pietro answered.
Kitty rolled her eyes. She could never understand why guys got so addicted to the power of driving. The power of shoe shopping she could understand, but driving? I mean yeah she did love to drive herself but Pietro only did it because it made him feel bigger or more powerful or whatever.
"Then keep quiet and keep you're eyes on the road. We don't need to be pulled over by the police in a stolen vehicle." Piotr informed him.
John broke the three away from their activities as he murmured something about mountains and snow.
Kitty looked at him strangely and turned to Piotr for answers.
Piotr rolled his eyes at his sleeping friend.
"When he has nightmares they are always about him being stranded in the Alps or some mountains in the snow without his lighter." Piotr said, answering her unsaid question.
"Oh." Kitty said simply before returning to the game.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Blimey! Not again!" Pyro exclaimed as he al of a sudden found himself standing in snow up to his ankles and flakes falling from the white sky onto his head.
John reached into the front and back pockets of his jeans and into his coat pockets for his lighter but found nothing,
"Damn it. I hate this dream!" Pyro sulked.
He was standing outside an ice cave that was a long ways up the mountain and an even longer ways from civilization and lighters.
This was usually how this dream worked. Pyro would probably end up waking up after he was pushed down the mountain by a mountain goat, chased by a snow leopard, beaten up by a Sasquatch or cause an avalanche.
"I really hate this dream." He said bitterly.
Suddenly the sound of a girl giggling brightly inside the cave caught his attention. "This isn't part of the dream." Pyro said to himself, looking into the dark opening of the cave.
A girl in a coat and a pair of jeans came out of the cave. She moved into the light Pyro was in and he realized who she was.
"You." He exclaimed.
"Me." She answered.
"Your.your that girl I met at the pizza place." He said.
"Yep. That would be me." She said, smiling at him.
She looked so warm. She had on a pair of gloves and was wearing a coat and jeans like him but she still looked so much warmer then he did. Her face was still its same naturally warm, loving color and she wasn't shivering with goose bumps like he was either.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"I don't know. This is your dream, not mine. Remember?" She asked.
Pyro realized that he'd forgotten it was a dream the second he'd seen her.
She was smiling at her like they were close or something but he knew she'd only met him once. She looked almost.. alluring.
Then he heard something that made his eyes light up brighter then hers. It was a lighter's cap opening and closing repeatedly. His face turned into a grin as he realized that Amara was the one with the lighter. She stopped flicking it off and on and pushed her thumb down on the lighter; After making a few fast clicking sounds all at once and a small flame sat on top of the lighter, illuminating her face.
"Looking for this?" She asked innocently.
He took a few steps forward and motioned for her to give it to him. She smiled slyly at him and before he knew it. She'd tossed the lighter over the edge of the cliff and down the mountain.
"NO!" He shouted, looking over the cliff.
"What did you do that for? This is cruel and unusual you know that Sheila?" He asked, turning to face her.
"Now we're going to bloody freeze to death." He exclaimed. He'd once again forgotten that it was a dream.
"You know John, there is more then one way to keep warm." She said, grinning at him.
He stared at her blankly.
"Yeah? And how do we do.mfph" Pyro was cut off when Amara closed the space between them and locked him in a passionate fiery kiss. Her hands were on his cheeks and he started to feel the body heat kicking in.
He wrapped his arms around her small waist and pulled her closer to him, pressing into the kiss harder. She moved her hands from his face to wrapping her arms around his neck and continuing on with the kiss.
His hands came down to her legs and he lifted her up as she wrapped her legs around his waist and he locked his own arms around her waist and supported her back.
They both pulled away for a brief second to catch their breath before continuing.
Pyro smiled hugely and shouted. "I LOVE THIS DREAM!!!!" Before holding her to him even tighter and deepening the fervent, intense kiss.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kitty stared down at John curiously. "Well I guess he's not like having a nightmare anymore." She said.
Piotr turned and saw that his friend now had a remarkably huge smile plastered on his face.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jubilee tossed and turned in her bed, apparently having a nightmare of some kind.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Jubilee ducked the lasers coming at her and rolled out of the way of a robotic weapons defense machine.
"Nice dodging Jubes." Bobby called as he iced over a robot.
The attacking machines all stopped and the power died. The surroundings changed from an abandoned parking lot to the walls of the Danger room.
"Alright that's enough for today. Hit the showers and go read a book or something." Logan's voice echoed through the room.
The young mutants all sighed in relief as they dragged themselves out of the room.
Once out of the room and in the hall they all walked the same way until they got to a fork in the corridor and the boys all went to the left where their showers were and the girls went to the right where their showers were.
Jubilee was about to follow the rest of the girls when she felt an arm on her shoulder.
She turned around and saw Bobby looking at her nervously.
"Yeah?" She asked, confused when he hadn't said anything.
"Jubilee, can we talk?" He asked, shifting his weight uneasily.
"Uh..sure. I guess so." She answered, bemused at his strange behavior.
"Well you see, for a while now I've been kind of having these weird um...feelings." He mumbled the last word, looking down at his feet.
"Feelings?" She asked.
"Yeah. You see, I think I might accidentally have somehow gotten feelings, weird feelings, sentimental feelings.."
"Okay Bobby I get it." She said.
"Right. Well..I've been getting these feelings about one of my close friends. And no matter what I do I jus can't stop thinking about that friend like a girl that I like and not like a girl who is my friend." Bobby explained.
"Oh." Jubilee said, suddenly feeling uncomfortable at the subject at hand.
"So you don't want the feelings?" She asked.
"No.I mean yes..I mean, I seriously have no clue." Bobby said in frustration.
"Oh..well what's the problem?" She asked, putting her hand on her hip.
"The problem is that I really doubt she feels the same way and once she finds out how I feel she'll feel all weird around me and not be my friend like before she found out." He told her.
"Oh." She said again. Jubilee's heart was jumping around in her chest so much she could have sworn Bobby could hear it beating.
"So I figured sense you're like a really close friend that I could ask your advice on weather or not to tell her how I feel. I mean it would be kind of weird, but you're a girl and all so I figure if I ask your advice then I'd have a better chance at not screwing this up." He told her.
Jubilee's heart stopped jumping and sunk like a rock dropping into a pond. It wasn't her. It was probably Amara or one of the other girls. He wasn't telling her that he liked her, he just wanted help on telling some other girl how he felt.
She sighed and shook away the broken feeling she had inside of her. She was going to be the good friend he'd needed her to be. Even if it wasn't going to make her feel any better.
"Well the way I see it, there's two kinds of crushes." She began.
"One would be the little high school crush with the small anxiety binge you get when you see her. Then there's the second kind of crush." She told him.
He nodded and she continued.
"That would be the 'Can't eat, can't sleep, everything reminds me of her, can't get her out of my head, think I'm going insane, can't even think about living life without her' kind of crush." She said.
"So it all depends I guess. Do your feelings fit crush number one or two? Are you crushing, or falling hard?" She asked.
"And what do I do if I'm falling hard?" He asked, looking into her eyes.
"Well.." She began, avoiding the eye contact he was making.
"If you think your falling hard, really absolutely sure of it, then take a chance. Tell her how you feel and hope she feels the same way." She said honestly, though she really didn't want to.
"And what if I can't tell her? What if I just can't put it into words?" He asked.
"Show her." She said, turning around to walk away.
She was stopped by his hand on her shoulder again only this time he turned her around to face him and before she could protest or do anything at all she felt him pull her into him slightly and the gap between their faces closed with a kiss.
Her eyes shot open in shock and she didn't even realize that she was kissing him back. Their kiss got more intense, but not by much. Just a long, slightly passionate kiss. Fireworks erupted from her hands and into the air without either of them noticing.
(A/N: You know how they always have fireworks shooting in the sky in the old romance movies after the girl and the guy kiss? Just thought I'd bring up the double reason for the fireworks.)
Bobby pulled away and she looked into his eyes, her own dazed and dreamy.
"I'm falling hard." He said, closing the gap between them once more.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Jubilee jerked her head up and looked around her dark room, panting heavily.
"It was all a dream?" She asked herself, sounding a little disappointed and a little annoyed.
"Yeah, but this isn't." Jubilee looked around and saw Bobby come from out of the shadows and before she could respond he moved closer and caught her lips with his.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Jubilee's eyes shot open and she found herself staring at her ceiling.
'Okay I just had a dream about making out with my best friend, and then I had a dream about waking up from that dream and making out with my best friend. I'm never eating Kitty's leftover muffins again.' Jubilee thought to herself.
She wasn't going to get back to sleep now and she couldn't get up because one, it was three in the morning and two, she couldn't get up even if she wanted to because her ankle was still badly injured and she couldn't walk on it without assistance yet.
She turned her head and saw that Amara's bed was still empty. She turned her head back so that she was staring up at the ceiling again and her eyes slowly closed.
She heard the sound of a door creaking open quietly and light leaked into the room when the door cracked open. She didn't open her eyes, thinking that it was Amara and if she was awake then Amara would no doubt want to talk to Jubilee about her great alone time with Bobby if she was awake.
Someone came into the room and closed the door behind them. Jubilee heard the sound of footsteps getting closer to her bed. She felt the person's breath and she knew they were standing right over here.
She felt someone brush her stray hair out of her face and behind her ear and her eyes shot open at the touch.
Her eyes met Bobby and she sat up. He jerked his hand away in shock when he saw that she was awake.
"Bobby? What are you here?" She asked.
"Uh..I was just checking up on you to make sure you were okay." He said.
"Oh."
"Hey Jubilee can I ask you a question?" He asked, staring down at the floor.
Jubilee's eyes narrowed and she frowned.
"Oh no you don't. I'm not getting fooled by my own dreams this time. You're not going to ask me about anything personal and your not going to do something drastic or romantic or anything. I want you out of my room RIGHT NOW!" She said.
"Huh? Jubilee I don't understand." Bobby said, backing toward the door.
"OUT!" She shouted.
"What's going on with you? What are you talking about?" He asked, looking at her like she was crazy.
"But."
"OUT!" She said, throwing a pillow at his face, which hit him directly in the face.
"Jeeze Jubes. What the hell is the matter with you?" He asked.
"You. You're just a dream. A stupid dream that I can't wake up from." She told him.
"Jubes this isn't a dream." He said.
"Oh yeah, that's what I thought before and the time before that. Prove it." She said.
He walked over and was inches away from her face. She was holding her breath without realizing it. 'I hate these stupid dreams. They're driving me crazy.
He was now inches away from her face. He got closer and closer and then..
"OUCH!" She yelped.
Bobby had pinched her hard on the arm and backed up.
"What'd you do that for!?" She exclaimed, rubbing her arm.
"To prove a point. You can't feel pain when you're dreaming. Its impossible." He said. "Now get some rest Jubes. And try not to have anymore dreams that makes you want to hit me with a pillow." He said, closing the door behind him.
Jubilee stood dumbfounded, staring at the now closed door.
"It wasn't a dream?" She asked no one in particular.
"I just did all that in real life?" She asked, her eyes widening.
"Oh man! Why me!? Why always me!?" She asked, throwing her hands up in the air and plopping down on her pillow ungracefully.

"Hey, do you want me to take over on the wheel?" Piotr asked Pietro who was starting to blink repeatedly from being tired.
"Sure." Pietro said, yawning and standing from his seat after he pulled over and let Colossus take the wheel. He stretched his arms and walked over to the chair in the corner.
From what he could tell, Kitty was reading a book that Remy had brought with him and stroking the small cat in her lap, John was sleeping on the couch, dreaming about who knows what, and Remy and Rogue were sleeping in the other room.
He leaned back in the plush cushions of the chair and drifted to sleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"And another thing Pryde, the worst thing about you X-geeks is that you let the rules stop you. If you want something to get done you can't expect to follow all the rules. You'll never get anything you want. Rules are meant to be broken and you couldn't brake a rule if you're life depended on it. If you did you'd probably end up turning yourself in the next minute." Pietro said.
"Pietro." Kitty said with a tired sigh.
"What is it Pryde? Are you going to tell me that we're doing the wrong thing by not abiding by the laws of humans and that we should feel bad for all the stuff my father has done?" He asked mockingly.
"Just shut up Pietro." She said in a bored voice, walking closer to him, pushing his chest so he fell onto the couch. She placed herself on his lap and smiled. Pressing her lips against his and her tongue into his mouth.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Pietro let out a moan and his eyes opened.
He looked around in confusion.
"Uh like Pietro, are you okay? You were making weird noises and like smiling and stuff." She asked.
"I'm fine Pryde." He said defensively.
"Were you like dreaming or something?" She asked, tilting her head.
"Yeah." He answered, avoiding her eyes.
'What the hell was that about? Why did I have a dream about her like that? And even weirder, why did I enjoy it so much?" He asked himself.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Remy stirred from his sleep and looked over at Rogue. She was sleeping so soothingly, so content. He wondered what she was dreaming about.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Thunder filled the air and the wind rushed into her face and the rest of her harshly. She shivered all over and hugged her leather coat to her freezing body.
Another round of thunder filled the air and the wind blew harder, pinching the skin on her face. She walked faster as the small droplets of rain started to fall from the sky onto the pavement.
She didn't know where she was, or where she was going. She just kept on walking.
A crack of thunder louder then the ones before echoed in the sky and a gust of wind threw her hair back behind her head. She felt like if she weighed any less that the wind would pick her up and carry her away.
A flash of lightening blinded her for a brief second followed by more thunder. Then the rain picked up and the slow light rain turned into a fast, heavy downpour.
She ran for the biggest tree in the park and stood under it, getting away from most of the showering water around her.
She shivered involuntarily at the cold and felt two strong, warm hands wrap around her waist and hold her close against a well-toned chest.
"Y'know chere, standin unda a tree in de middle o' a thunda storm ain' such a good idea. Y' gonn' get electrocuted." A voice whispered huskily into her ear, sending a different kind of shiver down her back.
She knew right away who it was.
"So why are ya'll standin here with meh?" She asked the suave Cajun.
"Remy'd follow his chere ta de ends o' de eart'. Y' know dat petite." He told her, draping his arms around her small body and wrapping her inside his trench coat, which he was still wearing.
"Ya gonna find ya self in a comma one of these days if ya keep doin this." She told him.
"Maybe that'd wipe that smart ass smirk off ya face." She mused.
"Aw chere, y' wound Remy." He said mockingly and pouted.
"But Remy knows what ya weakness is." He said, grinning evilly at her.
"Oh? And what would that be Swamp Rat?" She asked, confident that he was bluffing.
"Y' ticklish." He said, gripping her tighter so she couldn't escape.
Rogue's eyes widened but she didn't say anything to let him know she was surprised.
Then she saw it. That smirk of his that only meant one thing. Her undoing.
She tried to pull away but couldn't even get out of the trench coat.
"Ah, ah ah chere. Now why would ya wan' go an' run off? Dat wouldn' be any fun fo' Remy." He said.
"Yeah well if fun fer Remy means no fun fer Rogue then I'm outta here." She said, but still couldn't pull away. His grin widened.
"Now what would Remy do dat would possibly be no fun fo' Rogue?" He asked.
"Hm..lets think. Anything!?" She shot back.
"Oh, y' mean like dis?" He asked, tickling her sides and her stomach over the thin material of her shirt. Her leather jacket was open when she was inside his trench coat.
Rogue let out a yelp followed by what could have actually been a giggle, but she'd never admit to it. She slapped his hands playfully and he laughed at her.
He turned her around in his arms so that she was facing him and they were making eye contact. Once she looked into those enchanting eyes of his she was lost. They drew closer and closer until finally their mouths were inches apart.
They both took part in closing the gap between them and fell into an intense kiss. She backed him into the trunk of the tree without pulling away.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing harder into the kiss and he snaked his arms around her waist, pulling her into his body.
She didn't even notice that he'd somehow gotten his tongue in her mouth, or that she had done the same with him.
Suddenly her eyes widened and she pulled herself off of him, staggering backward into the rain.
"Chere y' gettin' wet." He said over the pouring rain.
She was soaked already and had only been in the rain for a few seconds.
He stepped out of the sheltered area under the tree and over to her.
"What's de matta chere?" He asked, seeing her look of confusion and horror.
"Ah jus' kissed ya." She said.
"Oui. Remy wasn' dat bad was he?" He asked, stepping closer.
No. No Ah mean Ah kissed ya, meanin Ah touched ya. That's not supposed ta be able ta happen." She said.
Remy stopped for a minute. That's right, he had forgotten about Rogue's powers in their moment of bliss. So why could she touch now?
"So what happened?" He asked.
"Ah dunno." She said.
She turned her head and looked at him. The rain had outlined his muscles and the rain dripped from his wet hair onto his face and the ground. He was looking at her intently.
"But ya know what." She said.
"What?" He asked.
"Right now Ah could really care less." She said, smiling at him. She stepped closer to him and he grinned back at her. Rogue tilted her head up and he tilted his down. They closed the space between them, her arms resting on his neck once again. He slid one hand down and held her on her hip while he caressed her back with the other hand, pulling her into his chest and deepening the kiss.
The rain was pouring down on the both of them and they were drenched wet but either they didn't seem to notice or they didn't seem to care. The kiss was so intense that they seemed to be oblivious to everything around them. The world could have ended at that very moment but neither of them would have noticed.
// Let the rainfall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My Sanity
Cause I want to hear the thunder
I want to scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean.
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall\\
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Rogue's eyes flew open and she realized that she was lying sideways in the room in the trailer. She was sleeping on the bed and she was apparently alone.
She closed her eyes and sighed in contentment at how warm and comfortable she was feeling in the bed. For some reason it was way cozier then when she'd first gotten into it.
"Wow." She whispered, reminiscing about the dream. 'Ah've neva had a dream like that before.' She thought to herself.
She was taken out of her thoughts when she tried to turn her body to be flat on the bed instead of on her side and she couldn't move. She found the source and would have fallen out of the bed in shock if she wasn't stuck there.
Remy's arm was draped over her side and holding her firmly in place against his warm body. They were both under the blankets so she hadn't noticed that someone's arm was attached to her.
She had a sudden anxiety about her powers until she remembered that she was wearing clothes that covered most of her and Remy was wearing covering clothes as well.
Remy noticed when he body tense and he smiled when it un-tensed the next second. She was awake and to his surprise and happiness she wasn't screaming, yelling, or threatening to kill him.
His chin rested on her head and he took in the scent of her hair. It was definitely more comfortable where he was now then on the chair. A lot warmer too, but Rogue had a whole lot to do with that.
He was curious why she hadn't said anything yet. Little did he know it was because she was contemplating the dream she'd had a few minutes ago with him as the main attraction.
Her eyes drifted closed as her lids became heavier and she let out an at ease sigh. She smiled and turned her body to be on her side but now facing him. Remy had lessened the grip on her a little and he was now glad he had.
Instead of pulling away like he thought she would, she turned to face him, only with her eyes closed, and nuzzled her face into his chest and her body closer to his.
Needless to say Remy was a little more then surprised. He looked down at her in shock but his features softened and he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close and holding her to him.
This was so out of character for Rogue but she was half asleep and she had just had a romantic dream about him so she didn't really know she was actually doing it in real life.
He stroked her hair gently and she breathed heavily into his chest. She was now asleep and they were both in bliss.

CHAPTER 9 Dreams of desire.
"Do you have any sevens?" Kitty asked in a bored tone.
"No." Piotr answered in an identically bored tone. "Go fish."
Kitty picked up another card from the pile and put it down beside her with a matching card from her hand.
"I can't believe you two are playing that idiotic game!" Pietro said from the driver's seat.
"Do you want to drive or not?" Colossus asked wearily.
"Hell yeah." Pietro answered.
Kitty rolled her eyes. She could never understand why guys got so addicted to the power of driving. The power of shoe shopping she could understand, but driving? I mean yeah she did love to drive herself but Pietro only did it because it made him feel bigger or more powerful or whatever.

John reached into the front and back pockets of his jeans and into his coat pockets for his lighter but found nothing,
"Damn it. I hate this dream!" Pyro sulked.
He was standing outside an ice cave that was a long ways up the mountain and an even longer ways from civilization and lighters.

He wrapped his arms around her small waist and pulled her closer to him, pressing into the kiss harder. She moved her hands from his face to wrapping her arms around his neck and continuing on with the kiss.
His hands came down to her legs and he lifted her up as she wrapped her legs around his waist and he locked his own arms around her waist and supported her back.
They both pulled away for a brief second to catch their breath before continuing.
Pyro smiled hugely and shouted. "I LOVE THIS DREAM!!!!" Before holding her to him even tighter and deepening the fervent, intense kiss.

Kitty stared down at John curiously. "Well I guess he's not like having a nightmare anymore." She said.
Piotr turned and saw that his friend now had a remarkably huge smile plastered on his face.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jubilee tossed and turned in her bed, apparently having a nightmare of some kind.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Jubilee ducked the lasers coming at her and rolled out of the way of a robotic weapons defense machine.
"Nice dodging Jubes." Bobby called as he iced over a robot.
The attacking machines all stopped and the power died. The surroundings changed from an abandoned parking lot to the walls of the Danger room.
"Alright that's enough for today. Hit the showers and go read a book or something." Logan's voice echoed through the room.
The young mutants all sighed in relief as they dragged themselves out of the room.
Once out of the room and in the hall they all walked the same way until they got to a fork in the corridor and the boys all went to the left where their showers were and the girls went to the right where their showers were.
Jubilee was about to follow the rest of the girls when she felt an arm on her shoulder.
She turned around and saw Bobby looking at her nervously.
"Yeah?" She asked, confused when he hadn't said anything.
"Jubilee, can we talk?" He asked, shifting his weight uneasily.
"Uh..sure. I guess so." She answered, bemused at his strange behavior.
"Well you see, for a while now I've been kind of having these weird um...feelings." He mumbled the last word, looking down at his feet.
"Feelings?" She asked.
"Yeah. You see, I think I might accidentally have somehow gotten feelings, weird feelings, sentimental feelings.."
"Okay Bobby I get it." She said.
"Right. Well..I've been getting these feelings about one of my close friends. And no matter what I do I jus can't stop thinking about that friend like a girl that I like and not like a girl who is my friend." Bobby explained.
"Oh." Jubilee said, suddenly feeling uncomfortable at the subject at hand.
"So you don't want the feelings?" She asked.
"No.I mean yes..I mean, I seriously have no clue." Bobby said in frustration.
"Oh..well what's the problem?" She asked, putting her hand on her hip.
"The problem is that I really doubt she feels the same way and once she finds out how I feel she'll feel all weird around me and not be my friend like before she found out." He told her.
"Oh." She said again. Jubilee's heart was jumping around in her chest so much she could have sworn Bobby could hear it beating.
"So I figured sense you're like a really close friend that I could ask your advice on weather or not to tell her how I feel. I mean it would be kind of weird, but you're a girl and all so I figure if I ask your advice then I'd have a better chance at not screwing this up." He told her.
Jubilee's heart stopped jumping and sunk like a rock dropping into a pond. It wasn't her. It was probably Amara or one of the other girls. He wasn't telling her that he liked her, he just wanted help on telling some other girl how he felt.
She sighed and shook away the broken feeling she had inside of her. She was going to be the good friend he'd needed her to be. Even if it wasn't going to make her feel any better.
"Well the way I see it, there's two kinds of crushes." She began.
"One would be the little high school crush with the small anxiety binge you get when you see her. Then there's the second kind of crush." She told him.
He nodded and she continued.
"That would be the 'Can't eat, can't sleep, everything reminds me of her, can't get her out of my head, think I'm going insane, can't even think about living life without her' kind of crush." She said.
"So it all depends I guess. Do your feelings fit crush number one or two? Are you crushing, or falling hard?" She asked.
"And what do I do if I'm falling hard?" He asked, looking into her eyes.
"Well.." She began, avoiding the eye contact he was making.
"If you think your falling hard, really absolutely sure of it, then take a chance. Tell her how you feel and hope she feels the same way." She said honestly, though she really didn't want to.
"And what if I can't tell her? What if I just can't put it into words?" He asked.
"Show her." She said, turning around to walk away.
She was stopped by his hand on her shoulder again only this time he turned her around to face him and before she could protest or do anything at all she felt him pull her into him slightly and the gap between their faces closed with a kiss.
Her eyes shot open in shock and she didn't even realize that she was kissing him back. Their kiss got more intense, but not by much. Just a long, slightly passionate kiss. Fireworks erupted from her hands and into the air without either of them noticing.
(A/N: You know how they always have fireworks shooting in the sky in the old romance movies after the girl and the guy kiss? Just thought I'd bring up the double reason for the fireworks.)
Bobby pulled away and she looked into his eyes, her own dazed and dreamy.
"I'm falling hard." He said, closing the gap between them once more.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Jubilee jerked her head up and looked around her dark room, panting heavily.
"It was all a dream?" She asked herself, sounding a little disappointed and a little annoyed.
"Yeah, but this isn't." Jubilee looked around and saw Bobby come from out of the shadows and before she could respond he moved closer and caught her lips with his.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Jubilee's eyes shot open and she found herself staring at her ceiling.
'Okay I just had a dream about making out with my best friend, and then I had a dream about waking up from that dream and making out with my best friend. I'm never eating Kitty's leftover muffins again.' Jubilee thought to herself.
She wasn't going to get back to sleep now and she couldn't get up because one, it was three in the morning and two, she couldn't get up even if she wanted to because her ankle was still badly injured and she couldn't walk on it without assistance yet.
She turned her head and saw that Amara's bed was still empty. She turned her head back so that she was staring up at the ceiling again and her eyes slowly closed.
She heard the sound of a door creaking open quietly and light leaked into the room when the door cracked open. She didn't open her eyes, thinking that it was Amara and if she was awake then Amara would no doubt want to talk to Jubilee about her great alone time with Bobby if she was awake.
Someone came into the room and closed the door behind them. Jubilee heard the sound of footsteps getting closer to her bed. She felt the person's breath and she knew they were standing right over here.
She felt someone brush her stray hair out of her face and behind her ear and her eyes shot open at the touch.
Her eyes met Bobby and she sat up. He jerked his hand away in shock when he saw that she was awake.
"Bobby? What are you here?" She asked.
"Uh..I was just checking up on you to make sure you were okay." He said.
"Oh."
"Hey Jubilee can I ask you a question?" He asked, staring down at the floor.
Jubilee's eyes narrowed and she frowned.
"Oh no you don't. I'm not getting fooled by my own dreams this time. You're not going to ask me about anything personal and your not going to do something drastic or romantic or anything. I want you out of my room RIGHT NOW!" She said.
"Huh? Jubilee I don't understand." Bobby said, backing toward the door.
"OUT!" She shouted.
"What's going on with you? What are you talking about?" He asked, looking at her like she was crazy.
"But."
"OUT!" She said, throwing a pillow at his face, which hit him directly in the face.
"Jeeze Jubes. What the hell is the matter with you?" He asked.
"You. You're just a dream. A stupid dream that I can't wake up from." She told him.
"Jubes this isn't a dream." He said.
"Oh yeah, that's what I thought before and the time before that. Prove it." She said.
He walked over and was inches away from her face. She was holding her breath without realizing it. 'I hate these stupid dreams. They're driving me crazy.
He was now inches away from her face. He got closer and closer and then..
"OUCH!" She yelped.
Bobby had pinched her hard on the arm and backed up.
"What'd you do that for!?" She exclaimed, rubbing her arm.
"To prove a point. You can't feel pain when you're dreaming. Its impossible." He said. "Now get some rest Jubes. And try not to have anymore dreams that makes you want to hit me with a pillow." He said, closing the door behind him.
Jubilee stood dumbfounded, staring at the now closed door.
"It wasn't a dream?" She asked no one in particular.
"I just did all that in real life?" She asked, her eyes widening.
"Oh man! Why me!? Why always me!?" She asked, throwing her hands up in the air and plopping down on her pillow ungracefully.

"Hey, do you want me to take over on the wheel?" Piotr asked Pietro who was starting to blink repeatedly from being tired.
"Sure." Pietro said, yawning and standing from his seat after he pulled over and let Colossus take the wheel. He stretched his arms and walked over to the chair in the corner.
From what he could tell, Kitty was reading a book that Remy had brought with him and stroking the small cat in her lap, John was sleeping on the couch, dreaming about who knows what, and Remy and Rogue were sleeping in the other room.
He leaned back in the plush cushions of the chair and drifted to sleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"And another thing Pryde, the worst thing about you X-geeks is that you let the rules stop you. If you want something to get done you can't expect to follow all the rules. You'll never get anything you want. Rules are meant to be broken and you couldn't brake a rule if you're life depended on it. If you did you'd probably end up turning yourself in the next minute." Pietro said.
"Pietro." Kitty said with a tired sigh.
"What is it Pryde? Are you going to tell me that we're doing the wrong thing by not abiding by the laws of humans and that we should feel bad for all the stuff my father has done?" He asked mockingly.
"Just shut up Pietro." She said in a bored voice, walking closer to him, pushing his chest so he fell onto the couch. She placed herself on his lap and smiled. Pressing her lips against his and her tongue into his mouth.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Pietro let out a moan and his eyes opened.
He looked around in confusion.
"Uh like Pietro, are you okay? You were making weird noises and like smiling and stuff." She asked.
"I'm fine Pryde." He said defensively.
"Were you like dreaming or something?" She asked, tilting her head.
"Yeah." He answered, avoiding her eyes.
'What the hell was that about? Why did I have a dream about her like that? And even weirder, why did I enjoy it so much?" He asked himself.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Remy stirred from his sleep and looked over at Rogue. She was sleeping so soothingly, so content. He wondered what she was dreaming about.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Thunder filled the air and the wind rushed into her face and the rest of her harshly. She shivered all over and hugged her leather coat to her freezing body.
Another round of thunder filled the air and the wind blew harder, pinching the skin on her face. She walked faster as the small droplets of rain started to fall from the sky onto the pavement.
She didn't know where she was, or where she was going. She just kept on walking.
A crack of thunder louder then the ones before echoed in the sky and a gust of wind threw her hair back behind her head. She felt like if she weighed any less that the wind would pick her up and carry her away.
A flash of lightening blinded her for a brief second followed by more thunder. Then the rain picked up and the slow light rain turned into a fast, heavy downpour.
She ran for the biggest tree in the park and stood under it, getting away from most of the showering water around her.
She shivered involuntarily at the cold and felt two strong, warm hands wrap around her waist and hold her close against a well-toned chest.
"Y'know chere, standin unda a tree in de middle o' a thunda storm ain' such a good idea. Y' gonn' get electrocuted." A voice whispered huskily into her ear, sending a different kind of shiver down her back.
She knew right away who it was.
"So why are ya'll standin here with meh?" She asked the suave Cajun.
"Remy'd follow his chere ta de ends o' de eart'. Y' know dat petite." He told her, draping his arms around her small body and wrapping her inside his trench coat, which he was still wearing.
"Ya gonna find ya self in a comma one of these days if ya keep doin this." She told him.
"Maybe that'd wipe that smart ass smirk off ya face." She mused.
"Aw chere, y' wound Remy." He said mockingly and pouted.
"But Remy knows what ya weakness is." He said, grinning evilly at her.
"Oh? And what would that be Swamp Rat?" She asked, confident that he was bluffing.
"Y' ticklish." He said, gripping her tighter so she couldn't escape.
Rogue's eyes widened but she didn't say anything to let him know she was surprised.
Then she saw it. That smirk of his that only meant one thing. Her undoing.
She tried to pull away but couldn't even get out of the trench coat.
"Ah, ah ah chere. Now why would ya wan' go an' run off? Dat wouldn' be any fun fo' Remy." He said.
"Yeah well if fun fer Remy means no fun fer Rogue then I'm outta here." She said, but still couldn't pull away. His grin widened.
"Now what would Remy do dat would possibly be no fun fo' Rogue?" He asked.
"Hm..lets think. Anything!?" She shot back.
"Oh, y' mean like dis?" He asked, tickling her sides and her stomach over the thin material of her shirt. Her leather jacket was open when she was inside his trench coat.
Rogue let out a yelp followed by what could have actually been a giggle, but she'd never admit to it. She slapped his hands playfully and he laughed at her.
He turned her around in his arms so that she was facing him and they were making eye contact. Once she looked into those enchanting eyes of his she was lost. They drew closer and closer until finally their mouths were inches apart.
They both took part in closing the gap between them and fell into an intense kiss. She backed him into the trunk of the tree without pulling away.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing harder into the kiss and he snaked his arms around her waist, pulling her into his body.
She didn't even notice that he'd somehow gotten his tongue in her mouth, or that she had done the same with him.
Suddenly her eyes widened and she pulled herself off of him, staggering backward into the rain.
"Chere y' gettin' wet." He said over the pouring rain.
She was soaked already and had only been in the rain for a few seconds.
He stepped out of the sheltered area under the tree and over to her.
"What's de matta chere?" He asked, seeing her look of confusion and horror.
"Ah jus' kissed ya." She said.
"Oui. Remy wasn' dat bad was he?" He asked, stepping closer.
No. No Ah mean Ah kissed ya, meanin Ah touched ya. That's not supposed ta be able ta happen." She said.
Remy stopped for a minute. That's right, he had forgotten about Rogue's powers in their moment of bliss. So why could she touch now?
"So what happened?" He asked.
"Ah dunno." She said.
She turned her head and looked at him. The rain had outlined his muscles and the rain dripped from his wet hair onto his face and the ground. He was looking at her intently.
"But ya know what." She said.
"What?" He asked.
"Right now Ah could really care less." She said, smiling at him. She stepped closer to him and he grinned back at her. Rogue tilted her head up and he tilted his down. They closed the space between them, her arms resting on his neck once again. He slid one hand down and held her on her hip while he caressed her back with the other hand, pulling her into his chest and deepening the kiss.
The rain was pouring down on the both of them and they were drenched wet but either they didn't seem to notice or they didn't seem to care. The kiss was so intense that they seemed to be oblivious to everything around them. The world could have ended at that very moment but neither of them would have noticed.
// Let the rainfall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My Sanity
Cause I want to hear the thunder
I want to scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean.
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall\\
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Rogue's eyes flew open and she realized that she was lying sideways in the room in the trailer. She was sleeping on the bed and she was apparently alone.
She closed her eyes and sighed in contentment at how warm and comfortable she was feeling in the bed. For some reason it was way cozier then when she'd first gotten into it.
"Wow." She whispered, reminiscing about the dream. 'Ah've neva had a dream like that before.' She thought to herself.
She was taken out of her thoughts when she tried to turn her body to be flat on the bed instead of on her side and she couldn't move. She found the source and would have fallen out of the bed in shock if she wasn't stuck there.
Remy's arm was draped over her side and holding her firmly in place against his warm body. They were both under the blankets so she hadn't noticed that someone's arm was attached to her.
She had a sudden anxiety about her powers until she remembered that she was wearing clothes that covered most of her and Remy was wearing covering clothes as well.
Remy noticed when he body tense and he smiled when it un-tensed the next second. She was awake and to his surprise and happiness she wasn't screaming, yelling, or threatening to kill him.
His chin rested on her head and he took in the scent of her hair. It was definitely more comfortable where he was now then on the chair. A lot warmer too, but Rogue had a whole lot to do with that.
He was curious why she hadn't said anything yet. Little did he know it was because she was contemplating the dream she'd had a few minutes ago with him as the main attraction.
Her eyes drifted closed as her lids became heavier and she let out an at ease sigh. She smiled and turned her body to be on her side but now facing him. Remy had lessened the grip on her a little and he was now glad he had.
Instead of pulling away like he thought she would, she turned to face him, only with her eyes closed, and nuzzled her face into his chest and her body closer to his.
Needless to say Remy was a little more then surprised. He looked down at her in shock but his features softened and he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close and holding her to him.
This was so out of character for Rogue but she was half asleep and she had just had a romantic dream about him so she didn't really know she was actually doing it in real life.
He stroked her hair gently and she breathed heavily into his chest. She was now asleep and they were both in bliss.

Okay well that was the chapter. I know it didn't have much besides the dreams but that's what the chapter is called. 'Dreams of Desire' so you'll have to wait for the next chapter for something else to happen.
I hope I didn't go overboard or not enough on the pairings and the romance in this chapter. I really hope I didn't overdo it. Was it okay? Review plz!
