Chapter 5
It was Monday and Rogue was sitting on a bench during lunch waiting for Wanda and Lexa to meet her. Last night's event kept repeating in her head as if it were a movie.
~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~~~
After reading the card Rogue ran out her (and Kitty's) room. She found Lexa and dragged her back into the room.
"What do you smell?" she asked her, referring to X-23 good smelling abilities.
"What?" Lex asked confused by the question. Rogue showed her the chocolate box. Lexa's face expression changed from confuse to disgust.
"Eww, is that...blood." she asked.
"I dunno, you tell me," Rogue answered.
"Well it smells like it but what's it doing here?" she asked her gothic friend.
"I dunno, I came in her and there it was on my desk. So do you smell an unfamiliar scent?" asked Rogue.
"Let me check," saying that X-23 sniffed around for about 5 minutes then she stopped.
"Well?" asked the impatient Rogue.
"Well I smell you..." Lex started but then, "Really. I just don't just sleep here!" Rogue said sarcastically.
Lexa ignored her and continued, "I smell you, kitty, Betsy, Wanda, some of the JR X-men girls and...a southern smell...sorta like gumbo...maybe it's Cajun," she finished.
"Cajun? But the only Cajun I know is Gambit. You know that guy from the mall. The one with Auburn hair." said Rogue.
"Oh, you mean the one who kept starring at you like if you were eye candy? He smelled Cajun but this scent is different, so no worries it wasn't your boyfriend." Lexa remarked with a smirk.
"He's not my boyfriend!" Rogue yelled.
"Okay sheesh, no need to get sensitive. What do we do about those? She asked pointing at the heart shaped box.
"Throw them away, duh or what did you want to do eat them?" Answered rogue while closing the box and throwing them in the trash. A couple of seconds later, kitty phased in through the wall.
"Hey guys like get ready for Mr. Logan's danger room session," she said. Noticing their expressions she asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." replied Rogue and Lexa at the same time. "We'll be down in a few." Rogue said after getting suspicious looks from Kitty.
"All right but don't be long," replied the valley girl while phasing back through the wall.
"Lets not tell anyone about this, at least for now k?" Rogue told Lex. "Fine," she answered. Then the two headed towards the danger room lockers to get dressed in their uniforms.
~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK ENDS~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Who could have gone into my room and why would they want to hurt me. Yeah, I know I'm not the nicest person in the world but still...*
Wanda & Lexa arriving interrupted rogue's thoughts. After the danger room session Lex had called Wanda and told her what had happened, even though she said she wouldn't tell anyone.
"So what are you gonna do?" asked Wanda. Knowing she was thinking about it because of her expressionless face.
"Nothing, it was probably a sick joke or something." Rogue said.
"If you think so," said Lexa while thinking about the unfamiliar scent she picked up in Rogue's room.
"So what do u guys want to do?" asked Wanda referring to lunch.
"I'm bored so I don't care what we do as long as we do something," said Lex.
"Let's walk around since there's nothing else to do," said Rogue while standing up. Then the three started walking away, not noticing eyes on them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Three pair of eyes watched as the Goths turned a corner. One was smoking, another playing with a lighter and the last one leaning on the wall with a bored expression.
"School so boring. How bout we ditch the last period?" asked Pietro.
"Nah, I have French next and that's my best class," replied Remy while also thinking *cause de southern belle is in it*
"I have chemistry with Wanda," said John.
"Yeah, I've noticed," replied Pietro. John stared at Pietro with a confused look while Pietro thought *Clueless*.
"Guess that means I'm not ditching." Pietro said disappointed.
"You can ditch by yourself." Pyro told him.
"Nah, it's no fun causing trouble alone." Pietro said standing up straight and stretching. "Besides I Have Gym next and I guess I could use the workout," he added.
After saying that they stayed in a comfortable silence and then the bell rung. "Later," Remy said putting out his cigarette and walking away. "Later' replied John and Pietro also heading to class.
~~~~~~~~~~ Le Course de Francias ~~~~~~~~~~
Rogue was sitting at her desk not really paying attention to the students walking in. Her mind was deep in thought. She was so occupied with her thoughts she didn't notice someone sit next to her. That is until she caught the strong scent of tobacco and cologne. She looked up only to come face to face with brown eyes.
"Nice contacts, mais (But) I prefer the real things," she told the handsome snake charming Cajun next to her.
"I'm sure you do, but I bet you like everything else about Remy too, non?" came the cocky reply.
"Non is correct," said Rogue while rolling her eyes and turning to look outside the window. Remy was about to response but was interrupted by their French teacher, Mme Pronsier. She began telling them their assignment while Rogue just dazed off.
Gambit was staring at her and even though they were sitting next to each other, he wrote her a note. It read $what's wrong Mon chere. You seem lost$ Rogue looked up at him after reading it and saw that he had a genuine concerned expression. $Nothing to worry bout Cajun$ she wrote back. He didn't look convinced.
"Mr. LeBeau I believe the notes are on the board not on Ms. Rogue." came the teacher's voice.
"Desole (Sorry),"Remy said sheepishly feeling stupid for getting caught. *Moi, the prince of thieves getting caught staring at a fillie (Girl)* Remy thought while looking at the board. After five minutes passed he looked at Rogue again and found her studying him. They were so busy eyeing each other they didn't hear the teacher assign the homework and give them time in class to finish it. So while everyone else did their homework, they were clueless and decide to talk instead. Rogue didn't mind his flirtatious ways since his talking helped her confuse thought disappear. And the two enemies talked for the rest of the period, not noticing the teacher glaring at them from her desk.
~~~~~~~~~~~CHEMISTRY LAB~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the chemistry lab, John was playing with a Bunsen burner while Wanda watched how entertained he got by changing the flame from high to low. After a while she got bored at looking at the flame and stared at him instead.
She never noticed it until then but...he was sorta cute. He was wearing black shorts that went past his knees, a white tank top (4 guys) and an unbuttoned black shirt over the tank. The pants had little flame designs on the bottom (Starts drooling).
*I wonder how much time he spends working out* Wanda thought while looking at the little muscle that was noticeable through the baggy shirt. After staring for a while she snapped herself out of those thoughts. *Eww was I just checking Pyro out...Hell No. Red Hair has never really caught my interest; and his laugh also need some help. No to mention he's a little crazy. Okay so I guess that's something we have in common but still...he's one of my father's henchmen. Got to admit though he looks really good in black*
"Shelia, what's wrong?" Wanda looked up to see Pyro staring at her.
"What?" Wanda asked confused.
"You've been staring at me for a while. Do I have something on my face?" He asked.
"No," came her response feeling a blush rise on her face.
"Then what were u staring at?" he asked.
"Nothing." she replied casually.
"If you say so. So are you doing anything on Saturday?" Pyro said trying to make conversation.
"Nope, are you?" She asked.
"I don't think so. Soooo...if you aren't doing anything...and I'm not doing anything...maybe we should...do something together." He said feeling really nervous as if it's his first time asking a girl to hang out with him.
"Umm...sure I don't see why not." Wanda answered, starting to feel a little weird by the whole situation. *Of course we can hang out it's not like anything is going to happen. What can happen we're only friends* the Goth known as the Scarlet Witch thought. He was going to say something else but was interrupted by the bell ringing. The two grabbed their stuff and headed out the doors without saying anything else.
~~~~~~~~~~~~GYM~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ok class after you run the mile I want you to do forty sit-ups and push- ups, then..."
Pietro was ignoring his gym teacher, Mrs. Hornburg. He was watching the X- men's newest recruit. A girl with long brown hair and intense blue eyes. He'd seen her before, at the mall when he was spying on Wanda, and now here she was in his gym class. He knew she knew he was watching her. What confused him though was that she didn't seem to mind, actually she didn't even seemed to care.
*How can that be, any other girl would be dying if I was staring at her, but this girl is just standing there looking bored. What's different about her? *
"Hi Pietro," a girl with brown hair, a short jean skirt and a tight pink shirt that showed her developed chest said interrupting his thoughts.
"Oh...hi...umm...what's your name again?" He asked her.
"Melissa," she answered while giggling and giving him a big flirty smile, then sitting really really close to him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lexa didn't feel like going to gym but her "dad" (Logan) had given her a big lecture bout being good on her first day of school, and how X-men didn't ditch, and blah blah blah. She knew maybe she shouldn't have listened to him the moment she stepped into the class.
*Oh no, I think that's one of Magneto's guys. Damit why wasn't I paying attention when they were telling me about their mutations. Oh well he probably won't recognize me, it's not like I have a big X on my face. * Lexa thought while leaning on a wall far away from Quicksilver and making pretend she was listening to the teacher.
*Okay maybe he does remember. It's either that or he has a big staring problem* she thought starting to get annoyed at the fact that he has done nothing but stare at her since she walked in.
After a while she noticed he'd stopped and turned to find out why. She saw that he was to busy flirty with some brunette. *Finally, I was beginning to think I was going to have to poke his eyes out in order to make him stop* She averted her eyes back to Mrs. Hornburg.
"Then I want to you all to go into the weight room...we will do this everyday this week in order to get you ready for your physical test. If you want to pass this class you must pass this test." Mrs. Hornburg was telling the class.
*Great, this should be easy* thought both of the hyperactive mutants at the same time.
All the students started heading to the field after Mrs. Hornburg finished. Pietro wanted to go bug the newest x-geek but that would have to wait until later that week because Melissa had decided to tag along with him.
*As long as he stays away from me, I won't have to kick his ass, and that means I won't get in trouble. So if I stay away from him I should do well in this class* Lexa thought while walking onto the field.
~~~~~~~~~~AFTER SCHOOL~~~~~~~~~~
Wanda and John were in front of Lance's jeep waiting for him to get there so they could go home.
"Bet his going to take a while cause he's with his little Kitty-cat." John said smiling.
"If I bet I'll lose, anyone who bets against you on that would be stupid." responded Wanda also smiling thinking about the relationship of the Brotherhoods leader (I know Pietro took charge, but I rather see Lance in charge) and one of the youngest X-men. After a while John got tired of standing and hopped in the jeep while asking Wanda...
"So are we just going to wait here or should we walk?"
"Lets wait, I don't think he'll be long." she responded. Shortly after Todd and Fred arrived followed by Pietro who started asking Wanda questions about Lexa.
"Why do you wanna know?" she asked him.
"Just curious," he said.
She was going to say something but Lance arrived and they got in the jeep but then they realized that they didn't fit.
"I'll run," Pietro said then running off.
"I'm the driver," Lance said while sitting in his spot then adding, "So you guys figure out how your gonna go."
"Shotgun," Toad yelled then hopping in.
That left Wanda, John, and Fred in the back, and Fred takes up two seats.
"Okay Sheila it's either my lap or Freddie's, or I could sit on your lap." John said while sitting next to Fred.
"Aggh great, just great," Wanda said as she thinks about the situation. She finally got in and sat on John's lap.
"Not a word!" she yelled at the guys. Lance and Fred had amused looks. Todd was thinking *should have stayed in the back* and John just sat there shocked that she actually sat down on his lap. He though she was going to hex him into giving her his seat or something like that. After getting comfortable Lance drove off.
~~~~~~~~~~SCHOOL HALLWAY~~~~~~~~~~ "So chere you have a ride to get home?" Remy asked Rogue.
"I'm supposed to go with Scott. Why are you offering?" she replied.
"Are you willing to let this Cajun take you home?"
"Depends, Whose home?" *OMG am I flirting with this low life? * Remy was also shocked by how flirtatious she was but he kept his cool and just gave her his charming smile.
"Yours, I'm not in the mood to face the Wolverine's temper today," he said while leading her to his ride.
"Nice ride," Rogue said while looking at his black and red motorcycle.
"Merci," he said and gave her his helmet. Then they both got on and speed away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Where's Rogue?" Scott asked Lexa as she arrived at his car.
"She got another ride," she told him.
"With who?" he asked.
"I dunno, she didn't tell me," she said. *Lying is a bad thing to do but can't really tell him...oh she ran off with the enemy, now can I* Lexa thought while putting her seatbelt on and as Scott drove away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Remy stopped in front of the mansion gates and rogue got off.
"Thanks for the ride swamp rat," she told him.
"Aw chere, you've made a pet name for me, I'm honored." he said while smiling at her.
"Whatever, well I'll talk to you tomorrow, I guess." She told him as she got inside and closed the gates and faced him.
"Abientot mon chere," he said and the drove off.
Rogue watched as he disappeared and then went inside the mansion walking into the rec room and finding Warren and Elizabeth there.
"Hi luv, how was your day?" asked Betsy from her position on the couch next to Warren.
"Good," she said while watching how close they were together. *Don't ya think you to close for just friends* she teased Betts. *No* thought while smiling.
"You got a package in the mail, I put it in you room just a couple of minutes ago." Betts told her.
"K...how did you get here so fast anyway?" Rogue asked while getting ready to leave the room.
"Oh, warren was sweet enough to pick me up from school. Hope Scott didn't wait for me. How bout you. You're early and no one else is here yet?" Betts asked her.
"I got a ride,"
"With who?"
"Don't worry about it," Rogue shouted from the stairs. She walked into the room and found the package that arrived for her. Slowly opening it she wondered who would have sent her something. As soon as she opened the top, the box fell apart and inside she found.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scott had arrived and everybody got out of the car and headed inside. Lexa headed towards Rogues room and barged in.
"Hey I saw you get on the motorcycle with that Gamble guy." She told Rogue letting her know she'd been caught with the enemy. Rogue just stood there as if she hadn't heard her. Lex went to stand next to her and saw that Rogue was looking at a vase of flowers...flowers that has a red liquid oozing out of them on to the white pedals. Rogue had a card in her hand and she gave it to Lex, here eyes never leaving the flowers. Lexa grabbed it and read it. After reading it once in her head she read it out loud...
"Flowers Mean Funerals
Flowers Mean Death.
On Valentine's Day
You'll take your last breath."

"I'll run," Pietro said then running off.
"I'm the driver," Lance said while sitting in his spot then adding, "So you guys figure out how your gonna go."
"Shotgun," Toad yelled then hopping in.
That left Wanda, John, and Fred in the back, and Fred takes up two seats.
"Okay Sheila it's either my lap or Freddie's, or I could sit on your lap." John said while sitting next to Fred.
"Aggh great, just great," Wanda said as she thinks about the situation. She finally got in and sat on John's lap.
"Not a word!" she yelled at the guys. Lance and Fred had amused looks. Todd was thinking *should have stayed in the back* and John just sat there shocked that she actually sat down on his lap. He though she was going to hex him into giving her his seat or something like that. After getting comfortable Lance drove off.
~~~~~~~~~~SCHOOL HALLWAY~~~~~~~~~~ "So chere you have a ride to get home?" Remy asked Rogue.
"I'm supposed to go with Scott. Why are you offering?" she replied.
"Are you willing to let this Cajun take you home?"
"Depends, Whose home?" *OMG am I flirting with this low life? * Remy was also shocked by how flirtatious she was but he kept his cool and just gave her his charming smile.
"Yours, I'm not in the mood to face the Wolverine's temper today," he said while leading her to his ride.
"Nice ride," Rogue said while looking at his black and red motorcycle.
"Merci," he said and gave her his helmet. Then they both got on and speed away.

"Where's Rogue?" Scott asked Lexa as she arrived at his car.
"She got another ride," she told him.
"With who?" he asked.
"I dunno, she didn't tell me," she said. *Lying is a bad thing to do but can't really tell him...oh she ran off with the enemy, now can I* Lexa thought while putting her seatbelt on and as Scott drove away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Remy stopped in front of the mansion gates and rogue got off.
"Thanks for the ride swamp rat," she told him.
"Aw chere, you've made a pet name for me, I'm honored." he said while smiling at her.
"Whatever, well I'll talk to you tomorrow, I guess." She told him as she got inside and closed the gates and faced him.
"Abientot mon chere," he said and the drove off.
Rogue watched as he disappeared and then went inside the mansion walking into the rec room and finding Warren and Elizabeth there.
"Hi luv, how was your day?" asked Betsy from her position on the couch next to Warren.
"Good," she said while watching how close they were together. *Don't ya think you to close for just friends* she teased Betts. *No* thought while smiling.
"You got a package in the mail, I put it in you room just a couple of minutes ago." Betts told her.
"K...how did you get here so fast anyway?" Rogue asked while getting ready to leave the room.
"Oh, warren was sweet enough to pick me up from school. Hope Scott didn't wait for me. How bout you. You're early and no one else is here yet?" Betts asked her.
"I got a ride,"
"With who?"
"Don't worry about it," Rogue shouted from the stairs. She walked into the room and found the package that arrived for her. Slowly opening it she wondered who would have sent her something. As soon as she opened the top, the box fell apart and inside she found.

Scott had arrived and everybody got out of the car and headed inside. Lexa headed towards Rogues room and barged in.
"Hey I saw you get on the motorcycle with that Gamble guy." She told Rogue letting her know she'd been caught with the enemy. Rogue just stood there as if she hadn't heard her. Lex went to stand next to her and saw that Rogue was looking at a vase of flowers...flowers that has a red liquid oozing out of them on to the white pedals. Rogue had a card in her hand and she gave it to Lex, here eyes never leaving the flowers. Lexa grabbed it and read it. After reading it once in her head she read it out loud...
"Flowers Mean Funerals
Flowers Mean Death.
On Valentine's Day
You'll take your last breath."
