Me: gasp what can this be TWO chapters in one day, can this be the beginning of the breaking of all my bad habits of letting eons pass before I update, dear god I hope so
Ràuken: I think it's a sign of the apocalypse
ME: Nifty, I've always dreamed of bringing forth the end of this world
Ràuken: You would, o by the by she owns nothing got it
ME: Only for a little while, soon I shall own the world along with everything else and I can begin a chapter without including a witty little disclaimer
-[Chapter Begin]-
Rogue was lying there, where ever 'there' was with Lance, surroundings weren't important they were in her neverland her world of ecstasy but the an alarm went off and she was suddenly she was lying alone on top of her bed, at first she attempted lingering in it like she usually did, but as she discovered last night, that was no longer possibly this time she knew she knew who it was in her dreams. No longer was there a shadowed silhouette, and it stung, nothing can compare to the perfect version that your mind stupidly makes you believe, was it really worth it...? Rogue wondered thinking about those anti-sleep pills, o well Rogue forced herself out of bed
"Hey you don't have to go to school to you lucky ass, remember?" Kitty asked
Rogue looked up at the petite girl smiling through her purple eye "I am sorry Kit"
"O don't worry I don't care, beside I'm going to make you pay by making you feel guilty that although you punched me I am not mad and remain the same as always" Kitty smiled as sunk through the floor heading toward the breakfast table
"Only you Kitty" said Rogue shaking her head, Rogue reached for her gloves and as she pulled them on she froze for a moment, something rang in the back of her head like she missed something, but she shook her head it was far too early, it will come later..
Pietro zipped around the school's hallways searching for Rouge, for a full week he had been following her trying to some how some way help his buddy Lance with his relationship troubles but was getting no where, he was never quite sure he'd do it but planning ahead is for losers right, he didn't want to set his friend up for rejection he wanted to figure out Rogue view on the matter, though usually when he spoke to her she kicked him away sooner or later for something he'd say, and he couldn't eavesdrop without her sighting him, the only way for him to stay unseen was to move but when he does that the wind zooming past his ears make hearing very difficult... today though he couldn't find her at all, 'hmm, maybe I should ask Kitty' he thought spotting the brown hair girl at her looker
"Hey Kitty... whoa nice eye shadow"
"Oh, this" said Kitty hand shooting up to her right eye lightly feeling the swollen lump "Rogue punched me.. is it really that bad"
"Yes.. But speaking of the Rogue-stir where is she?"
"Hey, you supposed to try and console me and say it's not the bad"
"Then why'd you ask me?"
"I don't know but in answer to you question Rogue is at the mansion she won't be back for the rest of the week"
'a whole week? I don't have that kind of patience it's a miracle I lasted this long, then again it was something to occupy his time' "a week, why did you kill her while she was sleeping to even the scare and are just buying yourself time"
"Hey, I'm not someone who holds a grudge" Kitty whined crossing her arms
"I don't know you seemed to hold one against Lance for quite a while"
"Whatever that's like different, besides I having nothing against him, I think he's a good person and all though he might do some stupid things, I am trying to set he and Rogue –my best friend up" Kitty wasn't quite sure why she was being so defensive, maybe just left over anger from her little quarrel with Rogue, she wasn't quite sure why she told Pietro her plan either, probably just her blabbermouth ways but when she said it his eyes widened and she was being pulled by the speedster outside at break neck speed
"Hey I didn't get to close my locker" she yelled at Pietro
"Forget it, I'll close it in a second flat but back-track just a bit, are you telling me that you are trying to set Lance and Rogue up too?"
'too' thought Kitty then realization hit her as the bell rang to begin class "Lets skip we have some conspiring to plan"
Rogue was resting on grass outside of mansion she had finally been able to relax. She went down to breakfast this morning without think about the people sitting at the table and the things they'll bombard her with, Scott and Jean of course lectured her.. stupid pricks, Kurt seemed more interested in the fact that she got a week of from school and had a lot of questions, Amara, Rahne, Jubs and the rest of the girls [though I think that's about it] seemed to care more about Kitty and her bruise, and Bobby was, well, Bobby was very entertaining "Wow.. Rogue you punched someone that awesome" Though after receiving stern looks from Scott and Jean his tone quickly changed to "But you should really learn to control you anger more um a... Kitty, wow the bruise sure is purple, no offense, I was just trying to make you feel better, because you don't deserve it..... NOT that I'm trying to insult you Rogue I er..... you should really try not to hit other students though especially um..... Hey Sam have you defeating that videogame yet?" Poor boy should learn when not to speak at all.
She looked at her surroundings everything seemed so gray to her eyes, though she knew that it was only her apparition of the world around her Rogue shook her head vigorously she has to stop this "Alright so the professor says I have sort my brain out" Rogue voiced to herself remembering the conversation from the other night "a secretary... hmm, I wonder" Rogue closed her eyes and suddenly she was inside her mind facing a wall of filing cabinets each with a name on it starting with Cody to Juggernaut, in the order they where first absorbed, also in the room were piles upon piles of paper needing to be filed "aw man" sighing Rogue picked up some random piece of paper, simutanously feeling a jolt run through her brain as a memory began to surface
Rogue looked down at small plump child hands, she braced her stomach. It just wouldn't stop rumbling, she could hear her mother talking to her uncle in the kitchen, though really she couldn't care less, she just wanted food, there voice became clearer as she started heading towards the fridge
"How old is he now"
"Ten Harold, you'd know that if you showed up for any of his birthdays"
"Calm down Shelly, what did you call me here for?"
"I... I just don't know what to do, look at me, I'm a single mother living in a trailer on the verge of bankruptcy, who's son won't stop eating.... I just don't have enough money to pay for his food alone; I've had to create a false marriage certificate so I can get money from that organization for divorced woman whose husbands won't pay child support"
"Shelly all kids eat a lot, really if-"
"NO! It just isn't natural the all you can eat buffet in town won't let us in any-" The woman went silent as she saw the pudgy little boy
Rogue wasn't paying the slightest bit of attention to there words or the fact that they went silent when she walked in, she just reached for the fridge, and opened the door to find absolutely nothing to eat.
"Anyway Shelly I can't help, I don't do charity cases" Rogue saw her Uncle starting to get up out of the corner of her eye though she was still looking wide eyed at the empty refrigerator "MOM! Where's all the food"
"We don't have anymore Freddy, you ate it all!" The blonde woman yelled at him from her position at the table
"Don't yell at me" Rogue yelled, anger over came her as she hoisted up the refrigerator and threw it the other side of the room aiming for her mother but ending up missing the table entirely and sent the air-born kitchen appliance zooming past her uncle and into the trailer wall
"Not again" the blond lady let out as if it were her last breathe
Harold stood there staring at the ten year old mighty midget before him as smirk spread across his face "It seems I might be able to help you after all......... I'm reliving you of your duties as a mother"
"What are you saying?"
"I'll bring the boy with me raise him, train him, and put him in my show, you'll never have to buy him food again"
"Harold, that's my son I don't care if we go bankrupt, there's nothing you can do for me to give him to you"
"I seem to recall you mentioning on you conned money from the association, hmm let's see, Fraud, theft plus child services don't look so keen upon kids that can't get enough to eat"
Rogue saw her mom break down and cry right there before she had a chance to even begin to feel sorry her uncle grabbed her hand and led him out of his mother's trailer, never to see her again. Rogue leaned against the wall of cabinets as the memory left her brain making her dizzy "That was Blobs" she said as opened the cabinet with the name Freddy encrypted on it, she placed it inside and then did the only thing she was left to do reached out and grabbed another piece of paper. The town of Bayville was usually relatively quiet not that you could hear birds chirping a singsong melody and all was harmonious but there was never too much commotion until the schools let out. Well today there was a green jeep zooming like a bullet down it's streets at break neck speed.
"So I'm surprised, I thought you were too much of an X-men goodie-goodie to cut class" said Pietro to Kitty
"Please, I like used to cut class all the time when me and Lance where going out... you don't think he'd mind us taking his jeep would he"
"Nah, how'd you get away with it?"
"Huh, Oh you mean the skipping, o well you have to wait about a week or so till the teachers forget what day you were absent and then I just hack into the computers and changed the attendance schedule... can't to it too often though only once in a while"
After a minutes pause Kitty broke the ice "OK, so I know Rogue likes Lance and like you know Lance likes Rogue right"
"Right"
"Okay, so now how are we going to get them together?"
"What's there to it we'll just tell them that they both like each other. Problem solved."
"Pietro, this is Rogue it can't be done that way, she has that whole doesn't want to get close, cause she's afraid she'll suck out their life force and turn them into a lifeless zombie."
"Oh yeah I forgot about that, that might pose a problem."
"Not really, remember when I said she punched me.. Well she did it with her bare hand without absorbing me, it has to do with a pure unfiltered desire to touch with out have fear of it and all that stuff."
"Then why is she so worried about it,"
"I don't think she realized she did it, but the point is she can do it."
"Oh ok, in that case we'll just stick em' in a room together and won't let them out till passion gets its way" Pietro stated cockily stringing his words together in one sentence
"Pietro!!.......... Hey that might actually work."
"I know, I am a genius" Pietro shouted complimenting himself
-[Chapter End]-
And that's it.... Yeah I like this story less and less as I go along, but your toughest critic is always yourself, maybe it's because new episode have aired characters have changed, my liking for the Rola pairing isn't as great as it once was though I still enjoy it, and Pyro become my new favorite X-men Evo: character. And other shit happened too.
Ràuken: Just shut up about already so you think you suck woe is you blah... blah....
Me: hee, hee, hee, your always good for a laugh
Me: Oh also I'm not sure when the next update will be I will try to get as much done before July, because then I'll be on vacation for the entire month and won't be able to write new chapters, I can pre-write them and put them on hold in my document manager and hopefully update once in a while but I'm not sure if I'll be able to that, I do have some summer reading for school that I need to get done before then too, in between babysitting, cleaning, packing, and hopefully I'll get out once in a while so I don't become a total social outcast and become even more insane then already am, I don't think my family can afford anymore medication and doctor appointments then may have to sacrifice the internet money then no more stories, anyway there is a bit of time and I should get at least one chapter if not more, the only thing that might pose a problem is I have two other stories (one is on fictionpress.com) that I would like to update a bit too, though this chapter is my main focus since it has more reviewers threatening to kill me if I don't shorten the time between updates.
Ràuken: But you like death threats, you said they make you feel loved
Me: Yes so I'm returning the love, see I have a heart
Ràuken: Blasphemy!
