Chapter Five
Author's Note: 1) I recently rented the second X-men movie and realized that in the movie Bobby never called Rogue Marie. He only called her Rouge in the movie, and so form now on I will only use the name Rogue. 2) I do not know if Roald Dahl is dead, but I assumed he was so in my story I made it be like he was dead. I really do love his books and The Giraffe, The Pelly, and Me really is my favorite book.
Chapter Five
That night both Rogue and Bobby had trouble sleeping. Bobby couldn't stop thinking about his kiss with Rogue, and Rogue was equally excited about the kiss with Bobby and her new powers. Bobby finally gave up on sleeping and headed down to the kitchen for a late night snack. When he got there though he saw that the lights were already on. He pushed open the door and was surprised when he saw Rouge sitting at the table eating ice cream from a cardboard container. He started to laugh, and said "Hi, I couldn't sleep. How about you?"
"Hey, me to. I just didn't seem to get tired at all. Want some ice cream?"
"Sure." Bobby said and got a spoon from the silverware drawer. "Watcha having?"
"Mint chocolate chip, my favorite." Rouge answered with a smile and moved her chair a little closer to Bobby so they could share the carton of ice cream. Then trying to break the silence she asked, "What about you?"
"What?" Bobby asked with a mouth full of ice cream.
"What's your favorite kind of ice cream?" Rouge asked Bobby as she handed him a napkin to wipe his face.
"Oh definitely butter pecan." Bobby answered after wiping his face.
"Really I would have taken you for a chocolate kind of guy."
"Oh yeah. I bet there are a lot of things we don't know about each other."
"Yeah, I'm sure there are." Rouge said. Then a little shyly she added, "It would be nice to get to know each other better." Then trying to boost her confidence, she smiled at Bobby and asked "What's you favorite book?"
"Well, I actually don't read that much, but when I read the Lord of the Rings trilogy, I really liked them. What about you?"
"If you want to go back to the early days, my favorite book when I was younger was The Giraffe, The Pelly, and Me by Roald Dahl. I could read that book anytime."
"I have to admit I liked those books too. I liked how he could imagine up the strangest things."
"I wonder if he would have been prejudice against mutants. With all the mixed up stuff he put in his stories, you would think he would understand us." Rouge said as she looked at the ice cream melting in the carton in front of her. "I guess we'll never know." Rogue finished and looked at her wristwatch. She gasped when she saw that it read 2:30 in the morning. "Oh my gosh! Do you realize what time it is?!! It's 2:30 in the morning!"
"Really? Wow, I didn't think we were up this late." Bobby said not as worried about the late hour as Rouge was. "I guess we should be getting back to our rooms." He added wishing they could continue their late night chat.
"Yeah, well I'll see you tomorrow." Rouge said as she threw her spoon in the sink and put the ice cream back in the refrigerator. "Good night."
Bobby was putting his spoon in the sink when an idea came to him. He quickly ran out of the kitchen shutting off the lights as he ran out and caught up to Rouge. "Hey Rouge, can I walk you back to your room?" He asked her cautiously.
She smiled and said to him "Sure. I would like that." Rouge was very nervous as they both walked along the corridor but was relieved when Bobby broke the silence.
"So we never did really finish our discussion about who we are. Would you like to continue it tomorrow? I could meet you for breakfast." Bobby said hopefully.
"I would love to meet you." Rouge said in reply. "How about I meet you here at 7:00?"
Bobby looked around and saw that they had made it back to Rouge's room and were standing in front of her door. "Sounds great." He answered with a big smile. "So I guess I will see you tomorrow then."
"Yeah, I'll see you later." Rogue said to him with a smile. Then knowing it was now or never she raised up on her toes and kissed Bobby. He was at first surprised, but then relaxed into the kiss. Rouge then realized that kissing Bobby felt natural and great. She moved a little closer and put her arms around his neck, brushing her body up against his. Bobby grabbed her around the waist and held her close as he kissed her. It felt as great to Bobby as it did to Rouge. He wanted to keep going but wisely let go when he felt her start to pull away. "Good night." Rouge shyly said to Bobby as she quickly went into her room. Bobby had to shake his head to fend off the effects of Rouge' kiss, before he could start walking. He was in such a good mood after the kiss that he didn't even notice the little skip that was in his step as he went down the hallway.
The next morning Rouge woke up at 5:45, and for a second forgot why she had gotten up so early. She then remembered about last night and the breakfast date she had planned with Bobby. She smiled and jumped out of bed grabbing her bathroom items as she ran around the room. She went to the closet she shared with Jubilee and Kitty and looked for an outfit to wear. She pulled out a pair of tan pants and a long sleeved blue top and held them up against herself. "No, too good girl." She said as she threw the clothes to the ground. She then pulled out a black miniskirt and red halter top and matching gloves. "No, too slutty." She again threw those clothes to the ground and resumed looking through her clothes. During all of this Jubilee and Kitty had woken up and were sleepily watching her as she rummaged through her clothes. "Aha!" Rouge suddenly said and pulled out a pair of low rider jeans and white vintage T-shirt with the silhouetted characters from the movie The Goonies on the front. "Perfect!" Rouge said as she held up the clothes in front of her. Not too revealing, and not to concealing! She thought as she looked in the mirror that was hanging on the wall. She turned around and was picking up her shampoo when she saw her white gloves and Jean jacket sitting on the chair next to her bed. She picked them up and turned around when she heard a very loud groan coming from behind her.
"Rouge do you realize what time it is?" Jubilee asked her as she pointed at the clock, which now read 5:53.
Rouge didn't bother to answer but asked in reply, "How do you think this outfit will look?" She held up the jeans and shirt, and waited a few seconds for Jubilee's answer before she quickly hurried on out the door to the bathroom. She yelled over her shoulder as she ran out, "I'll talk to you guys later."
"But wait....." Jubilee called to Rouge as she ran out of the room. She then looked over at Kitty who had the same puzzled look on her as Jubilee. "There's something up with that girl."
"Totally, I guess we're just going to have to talk to her later, like she said." Kitty said in reply. "I wouldn't suppose there would be any chance of getting anymore sleep this morning would there?"
"No it's already 6:00, and I personally do not want Rouge to pull me out of my bed this morning." Jubilee said.
50 minutes later Rouge was checking her hair and makeup in the mirror when she heard a knock on the door. She walked quickly over to the door and opened it finding Bobby waiting on the other side. "Good morning." She said with a smile.
"Good morning, it's nice to see you again. Would you like to go? I know I'm a little early, if you need more time I can wait." Bobby said in greeting.
"No I'm ready let's go."
"Hey I like your shirt. That movie is great it's a classic." Bobby said as they started to walk down the hall.
"Oh thanks!" Rogue said. "I first saw it when I was twelve and it has been one of my favorites ever since."
"Yeah it's great. Hey! There's another thing I didn't know about you. See we are slowly getting to know each other." Bobby exclaimed.
"Well I guess we will just have to meet many more times to learn things about each other." Rouge said with a smile. "Now let's eat!"
Ok I really did mean to write some more than I did, but I was getting tired when I wrote this. So bear with me and I will write more. I am currently writing another story in the Mythology section of fanfiction, so I will be rotating between writing chapters for the two stories. Please keep sending me reviews and I will write more!
When I write chapters for my stories I always write it in a notebook first and then copy it onto the computer. I did not do that with this chapter, and when I read it after it had been posted, I realized the number of mistakes I had made. So here is the edited version of this chapter. Enjoy!
