Author's Note: For some reason I felt like updating the story. Probably because I'm so bored and I'm trying to find an excuse not to read Sara's a million word story. (no offense Sara). This is in Rogue's POV again or then it wouldn't make sense. So on with the story
"Blah" = Talking
'Blah' = Thinking
-Blah- = Telepathic
Blah = Song

There's a light inside my head
Flickering but almost dead
My will to be awake
Covered in two tons of sand
More weighed down than when I began
Impossible to get up now, it's too late
I know Logan is gonna kill me but I went to open the door. Low and behold, the cocky Cajun was standing on the balcony with a single rose. Sometimes he can be such a romantic.
"Bonjour Chere." he said in French. "Where the hell were you last night?" I practically screamed at him. "I'm sorry, Chere. My father called and said he was in trouble. All he needed was someone to bail him out of jail." he probably lied to me. I looked at his face and searched for the lie on his face. I found it.
"If you're gonna lie to me atleast make it believable, you asshole. We're over!" I slammed and locked the door to the balcony and ran down to danger room.
Logan was there and he looked very pissed. "It takes you twenty minutes to walk down to the danger room?" he asked. I gulped. I knew I was in big trouble for talking to that rat, Remy. "Logan, can't we just start?" I asked trying to change the subject.
"Okay, Stripes." he said with a smile I didn't trust. I gulped again and the simulation started...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
I really hate Logan now. For my danger room session he put me up against a simulation or Gambit. He's gonna pay... at dinner. I'm so glad Kitty is cooking tonight. I don't think I'll ever utter those words again.
And I feel like moving on
And I feel like getting on with life
To feel the presence of the sun on my face
Is what I need to smack those cobwebs into shape
I took my shower and got changed into some casual clothes. I decided to read so I grabbed my newest Steven King book and headed toward my favorite tree. While I was walking down the hall, Ororo stopped by me.
"Rogue? Can I talk you?" she asked. I always hate it when someone says those words. "Uh, sure. What about?"I asked. She didn't answer me. Instead we walked to her room.
When we got there she sat in her chair and I sat on her bed. It feels a lot softer then my bed. Maybe she bought it herself. "Rogue, Kitty told me you had a nightmare last night. Is everytihing alright?" she asked. "Yeah, I'm fine. It was no big deal. I don't even remember the dream." I told her.
"Kitty told me that you were screaming 'no' and 'don't touch me' in your sleep. Are you sure you're alright?" she asked again. "Ororo, I know you're trying to be nice but I don't even remember my dream so I don't think you should be worried." I said. "Okay, child. But if anything is wrong, you know you can talk to me." she said and I walked out of the room.
i finally got outside to the tree and started reading my novel. After about an hour of reading I must have dozed off. An hour later I woke up screaming. I started breathing hard and trying to understand why I was screaming in the first place. Maybe it was because I broke up with Remy or about Mystique. Oh god, how I hate her with a passion.
I decided to go back inside and I bumped into Kitty on my way to our room. She said to me, "Wanda like called, like an hour ago." "What did she want?" I asked. "I dunno. She just wants you to like call her back as soon as you were back, okay." she told me.
I headed upstairs and called Wanda when the phone rang. It was Wanda. Good, I didn't have to call her.
- "Hello, can I speak to Rogue?"
- "Hey, Wanda it's Rogue."
- "Oh, hey Rogue."
- "What's up, Wanda?"
- "What movie do you want to see tonight?"
- "How about Van Helsing?"
- "Sure, I've been wanting to see it."
- "Okay, see you at seven. Bye."
- "Bye."
My room is an empty cave
Darkness swallows up the day
The shades are always drawn
Skin as pale as dirty soap
Eyes that do nothing but close
Can't even see that my love of life is gone
I looked at my watch and it said 11:30 so I decided to eat something. I went down to the Kitchen and Hank was in there eating a sandwich. I grabbed a hot pocket from the freezer and started to heat it up. "Rogue, I'm glad I caught you. The professor wants me to run some tests with you. Are you okay with that?" Hank said. "Uh Sure. What are they for?" I asked
"The professor has sensed some strange thought patterns coming from you an he wants me to make sure you are okay. I told him I would only do it if it was okay with you." he said. "When should we do it?" I asked him. "How about after you're done with lunch?"
"Okay, I'm fine with that." My Hot Pocket was done and I ate it quickly. Hank and I went down to the lab and i laid down on a bed and he put gloves on and then put some wire things on me. "Rogue, you are going to have to be asleep for this." He told me and put a mask over my face and I fell asleep.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"Rogue? Rogue?" Hank said as I started to wake up. "Okay, I'm done with the testing. You can go now." I left the lab feeling a bit uneasy. I wanted to know what the test were really for. I didn't really believe his story.
I decided to watch some TV so I went to the Rec. Room. Jamie was watching some cartoon. I decided to be nice and watch with Rogue. On commercial break, Jamie actually noticed I was there. "Hiya, Rogue!" he said really energetically. "Do you like Yu Yu Hakusho?" he asked. I lied and said, "Yeah it's cool." He smiled and got back to watching his show. I looked at the clock in the room and it said 6:11. I had to get to my room to change for the movie.
At about 6:45 I was ready for the movie. I felt really excited like a first date kind of excited but this wasn't a date. This was just two friends going out to the movies together or was it? Man, I can't have this on my mind right now.
Kitty came in our room and looked me over. "Are you, like going on a date with Gambit?" she asked. "No, we broke up." I said and I felt a twang of sorrow. "Oh, you look really like nice." she complimented. "Thanks." I said and I head downstairs.
I heard Lance's jeep coming up the street while I was waiting by the gate. Wanda was in the driver's seat and she gestured me to get in. I got in shotgun and we drove off and didn't say anything on the drive there.
We got out of the jeep and started to head toward the theater when someone I really didn't want to see was at the theater
Oh, outside my bed it's cold
Each day I'm swimming through molasses
How will I wipe the sawdust from my eyes?
Each day I'm swimming through molasses

Okay, I'm finished. So please review again and I'll write more but I won't be able to update to either Wednesday or Thursday.
