Chapter 15
(Sunday)
Wanda woke up to the bright light…it was a beautiful morning yet she had a feeling something was gonna go terribly wrong. 'Maybe it's because of Magneto will be back…according to Gambit' she thought. She shrugged the feeling off and got up to take a shower. When she was done she got dressed and headed to the kitchen for breakfast. When she walked in she noticed that John was in there eating cereal and watching cartoons. He looked up as she walked in.
"Mornin luv."
"Morning," Wanda answered and poured herself some cereal too. After the cartoon went to commercials and Wanda knew John attention wouldn't be on the TV she asked, "So why exactly are you up so early today?" Before he could answer Remy walked in.
"Mornin Scarlet," he said and went to get a glass of water.
"Is it Sunday?" she asked, the two boys who nodded at her. "Wow what do you know…miracles do happen." Both of them gave her confusing looks, she noticed and said, "You two usually like to sleep in on Sunday's so having you up right now is weird…is there something your doing that I should know about?" she asked with a perk eyebrow.
"NO!" both answered in unison making her get suspicious. Before she could say anything else the other members came barging in.
"Since Magneto is coming back today…will we be going back to the base?" Colossus asked Gambit when he sat down next to the Cajun with a doughnut in his hand.
"I think so," Remy answered while John looked away from the TV and stared at Wanda.
Her dad was coming back and he had no idea if he was going to tell Magneto about what they had going on. He wasn't even sure if it was really serious…he hoped it was cause from the first time he saw her he thought she was attractive. Then they moved into the boarding house and he had gotten to know her…she was like fire which turned him on, not that her body didn't do that enough already. Messing with the bosses daughter was dangerous…he knew this but now that he had gotten to know her and tasted her lips, forgetting her would be hard…so why even try. 'I'm gonna miss living wit 'er…to bad we hooked up this late, if it had been early I could think of a couple of things we coulda done' he though and a very sly smirk appeared on his face.
Wanda looked over at John who was smirking at her for an unknown reason. 'He probably has his mind in the gutter' she thought while giving him a smirk of her own. 'To bad he's leaving today…hmm I guess I could sneak over to their base' she thought still smirking. Than as an after thought she added, 'and after we're done I'll can always try to kill my daddy dearest'.
Quicksilver and Gambit shared a look after they looked at Scarlet and Pyro. They didn't want to know what was going on in their heads. Pietro was thinking 'Eww that's my sister he's looking at like that…he better not try anything before he leaves or else…". Remy was think, 'Yes Pyro has distracted her and now she's not asking why we're up early…Bon I should finish breakfast and finish packing what I'm gonna take wit moi' as he finished thinking this he got up and headed upstairs. The others watched him go but then went back to either eating or watching TV.

X-Mansion
"Rogue get your ass up…we gotta meet Wanda in an hour," X-23 shouted into a sleeping Rogue's ear. Rogue's emerald eyes slowly opened.
"I'm up, I'm up," she said in a sleepy voice.
"K…I'll see you downstairs in ten minutes…if your not there by then I'll come up here and drag you down by your hair," Lexa threaten walking out of the room. Rogue groaned and took her sweet time getting up. When she was completely up she went to her closet and got out her black tights, skirt, green see through shirt and a black tank top. She quickly changed and then took her shoes out, put them on, and when she was all done she made her way to the kitchen.
"5, 4, 3, 2,…" Lexa was in the kitchen looking at her watch and counting the minutes, before she could say one, Rogue walked in.
"Damn I was about to go get you," Lexa said a little disappointed that she showed up on time. Rogue glared at her and Lexa smiled back. Rogue then turned her attention to the other person in the room, "Mornin Kurt."
Kurt was looking at his cereal he mumbled "morning" but didn't look up. Rogue didn't really pay attention to that and made herself some coffee and grabbed a jelly filled doughnut. They ate in silence except for Lexa who had chosen NOW to crack her knuckles. Rogue gave her an annoyed look, Lexa caught on to it and put her hands on her lap while giving a sheepish look at Rogue.
"So Kurt you going out with Amanda today?" Rogue asked. Hearing Amanda's name made Kurt raise his head forgetting why he didn't want to look at Rogue in the first place.
"Ja," he answered and notice Rogue looking intently at his face.
"What in the hell happened to you?" Rogue asked talking about the deep cut above in left eyebrow and other little scraps he had on his face.
"Uh…ha ha ha," Kurt laughed nervously while thinking of a lie. "Well I had a bad day yesterday…you know after I went to see if you wanted to join us…" Kurt stared. Rogue nodded her head and waited for him to continue.
"Well I took a shower and slipped on water making me fall and then my head hit the toilet…it was awful and very painful. Then I went outside to get some fresh air incase that would lower the pain when I heard a sound from a near by bush…I went to see what it was…when I was leaning over the bush this big black cat jumped on my face…causing all these scratches," Kurt concluded without staring into Rogue's eyes.
"Uhuh," Rogue answered looking at him disbelieving. Then she looked at Lexa and said, "I'm gonna call Wanda to see if she'd ready to go," Lexa nodded her head and Rogue walked out of the room. When she was far away not to hear anything from the kitchen Lexa spoke.
"Wanna tell me what really happened?" she asked.
"What are you talking about that was the truth," Kurt countered.
"Uhuh…and I'm gonna dye my hair blond today."
"You are?" Kurt asked in shock. Lexa gave him a look that said 'do I look crazy to u?' and nodded 'NO'.
"I can smell a lie miles away Kurt…you just lied to Rogue. I wanna know why."
"She doesn't have to know what really happened," Kurt said.
"Well…then you should tell me."
"I don't have to," Kurt answered stubbornly.
"You can tell me or…you could always explain it to her!" Lex answered with a smile. Kurt looked at her in horror…then sang like a bird.
"Ohhh…if Rogue finds out she's gonna be pissed at you," Lexa said after hearing about the whole thing.
"I know that's why WE'RE going to keep it a secret," he told her in a whisper. Lexa looked at him then said, "I really don't keep secrets away from Rogue, Kurt."
"Oh please please…you said it yourself if she finds out I'm dead…if I die you'll have to deal with a heartbroken Amanda," Kurt said.
'Ahhh one heartbreak at a time' Lexa thought. "Fine fine fine…but if she finds out by other people like Wanda it's not my fault." she said walking out of the kitchen and went in search of Rogue.

Wanda walked into the kitchen were the boys still hadn't finished.
"I'm going out with Rogue and Lexa," she whispered into John's ear after sitting on his lap.
"You need a ride?" he asked getting ready to get up.
"Nah I'll take the jeep just wanted to tell you so you wouldn't go looking for me," she answered.
"Alright," he answered started kissing her neck then going up her cheek and then met her lips.
"Excuse us but some of us are still eating," Pietro said smirking. Wanda turned to glare at him as the other except toad looked at the couple with amused looks.
"Whatever Pietro…my cell will be on in case you need me," Wanda turned her attention back on John. "Call me if Magneto shows up and you have to leave or something thing."
"Sure thing luv," John answered and gave her one last kiss before she left.
"Bye guys tell Lance I have the jeep when he wakes up," Wanda called behind her shoulder and then walked out slamming the door behind her.

John walked upstairs to the room he shared with Remy.
"'Ey mate you ready?" the pyromaniac asked his demon eyed friend.
"Oui," Remy responded adding a couple of things like a deck of cards to his bag. John noticed an opened deck and guessed that Remy would be carrying those in his pocket. He grabbed them and started playing with them.
"So what time does the plane leave?"
"7:00"
"have you talked to magneto about this…if you leave without warning he'll go bonkers on ya," John said.
"Oui…talked to him about it when he called on Friday."
"And he's letting you go…just like that?"
"Yup…guess he doesn't need us that much anymore."
"There's gotta be a catch…him just letting you go that willingly," John mused with confusion.
"Well when he called he wasn't alone," Remy said.
"Oh…who's he with?"
"Mystique."
"Oh…ohhhh no wonder he took a while getting here," John said with a smirk.
"That's sick homme…that's Wanda's pere and Rogue's mere…you talkin bout," Remy said shaking his head as if trying to get the mage out of his head.
"'Ey you never know," John answered laughing.
"Hey guys, were is my jeep?" Lance asked walking into the room.
"Wanda took it," Pyro answered.
"She WHAT?" Lance yelled. "But I have to go see Kitty," he started mumbling and started freaking out that he may not see his pretty kitty for a couple of hours. "Oh no I'm even forgetting the sound of her voice," Lance screamed. John and Remy shared a look.
"Mon ami, dere are phones you know," Remy said. Lance looked at him like he was a god.
"The phone of course," lance said and went in search for the phone.
"That boy is so whipped," John said laughing and then jumping on his bed.
"Don't know why ya laughing…that's gonna be you in a couple of weeks," Remy answered while swiping his card away from the flame addict with a lighter in hand.
"Me? Whipped? Don't think so mate," John replied.
"Actually I think u already showing signs," Remy teased.
"Whatever…you planning on telling the Rogue Sheila that you're leaving?" John asked. Remy stayed quiet and looked at Pyro.
"Non, it's not like she'll care," he replied. John stared at Remy's saddened face.
"If that's how you want it," John replied.
"Come on lets go down," Remy said while hiding his packed bag in the closet. He then walked out the door and John slowly followed while thinking he was really smart because of the idea he had just gotten.
'Well mate you said not to tell anybody…but I don't know anybody named anybody so I guess that means I can tell somebody. Hmmm I hope this brilliant idea works' He thought to himself while checking his back pocket to make sure the thing he had taken from Remy was still there. He smiled when he felt it and thought, 'sharing a room with a thief pay's off doesn't it'. He took a look at the clock that read 12:00.

Wanda was driving with Rogue in the passenger seat and Lexa in the back with both feet on the seat relaxing.
"So what do you guys wanna do anyway?" Wanda asked both of the.
"I don't care," Rogue said looking bored/sad. Wanda rolled her eyes. 'Do not hurt her…she is your best friend…she'll be fine in a couple of days…if she's not…than you can hurt her and not feel guilty' were Wanda's thoughts while giving Rogue side glances. Lexa noticed the new sour look on Wanda's face and decided to intervene.
"Let's go to a CD store maybe they have some new stuff that we'll like," she suggested.
"That's fine with me…what about you?" Wanda asked Rogue.
"Why not." was the only answer she got.
3 hours later (3:00)
"Well that sucked" Lexa commented as all three entered the car once again. They had spent hours in stores and hated it.
"Tell me…why exactly did we do something we absolutely hate?" Rogue asked.
"Shopping isn't that bad," Wanda said getting a look from both Goths. "OK so it really sucks but I don't wanna be home when my dad gets there," she complained.
"Why…you don't feel like killing him anymore?" Rogue asked curious.
"Or maybe you're scared of what he'll think about you and John?" Lexa commented.
"I don't think I care that much about killing him anymore."
"I bet that cause of your new boy toy," Lexa said smirking even Rogue gave a small smile at that. Wanda noticed that from both of them…she also noticed they weren't wearing their seat belts.
The car went….SCREEEECH seconds later making Rogue and Lexa crash into the jeeps sides. Wanda smirked.
"Bitch" Rogue and Lexa said in unison.
"You guys asked for it…how bout we stop at the park for a while?" she asked them.
Rogue nodded not wanting to argue…or go to the mansion where everyone had noticed her odd behavior. She still couldn't believe she was so out of it that Logan had told her to get out of the danger room. Then of course he had wanted to talk about it, good thing she blew him off though. She could tell Wanda and Lexa were annoyed…it wasn't hard to tell considering she knew them well. Thinking about all this got her pissed off…but she wasn't sure who she was angry at…Gambit…or herself.
"Hello anybody home?" Lexa asked waving a hand in front of Rogue's face interrupting her of her previous thoughts. Rogue looked at her and Wanda and noticed the look they were giving her. Before they could say anything she said, "Ah'm fine" and got out the car since they had arrived at the park.
"Whatever" Lexa mumbled so only Wanda could hear her. Wanda didn't say anything she just got out the car.
Soon they found themselves sitting in a bench in front of the pond. Lexa went into her pockets and took three pennies out.
"Here" she said giving them a penny, "make a wish!"
Wanda was holding back a laugh and Rogue looked at her like she was crazy, they both looked at each other and couldn't help it…they laughed.
"What?" X-23 asked clueless.
"You throw pennies into fountains Lex," Wanda answered with tears in her eyes.
"Sooo…who's say's it won't work if we throw them in ponds?"
"Fine" one by one they threw their pennies in.
"So what did you wish for?"
"If we tell the wishes won't come true," Rogue answered looking at her blurred reflection in the water. They stayed quiet once again. It's weird how they could be quiet for longer than an hour and it never made them feel uncomfortable. They somehow shared a bond that let them know what they were thinking or feeling. Lexa was so relaxed she was starting to fall asleep. Her head landed on Rogue's shoulder, Rogue looked at the younger girl. She smiled at the thought that Lexa was probably happier than she'd been in a long time. She had found happiness…in Pietro which still confused Wanda and herself but who were they to judge. One had fallen for a fire obsessed Aussie and the other was denying her feeling for a demon eyed Cajun.
Rogue looked at Wanda who was also looking at their sleeping friend. A drop of clear liquid started falling down on her cheek. She wiped it off and looked at the sky as did Rogue.
"Time to go," Wanda said getting up. Rogue nodded and started to shiver.
"Lex time to go it's raining," Rogue told her nudging at her to wake up. Lexa's opened and looked at the sky. She got up and started turning around in circles with her mouth opened.
"Are you sure she's 16?" Wanda asked.
"She was last time checked," Rogue answered as Lexa danced around in the rain.
"How odd…the day was really pretty in the morning…now it looks like there's gonna be a storm," Wanda mused.
Lexa finally stopped and said, "Isn't it great?" while looking at the pond that now had lots of ripples because of the rain.
"Mhmm," Rogue responded while having a very evil though in her head. She looked at Wanda who was smirking evilly probably having the same thought. They both quietly creped behind X-23 and without warning pushed her in.
Poor Lexa didn't know what hit her as she landed in the pond.
"Oh HELL NO!" she yelled getting up from landing in the cold water. Both Rogue and Wanda were laughing until they saw the evil glint in X-23's eyes. "She did it!" they yelled at the same time and pointed at each other. A drenched Lexa didn't care…she just looked at them as if they were cute little bunnies…and she was the big bad wolf.

4:30
Wanda opened the door to the boarding house and walked in, she started walking towards her room but took a peek in the living room to see what the guys were doing.
"Shelia! What happened?" John asked looking at his girlfriend who was covered in mud. Wanda's eyes narrowed.
"Don't call me that…and you don't wanna know." she answered and proceeded to the bathroom to take a shower. John got up and followed her. The others in the room except Lance who was on the phone with Kitty started laughing thinking about how ridiculous the Scarlet witch had look.
"I wonder what she did to end up looking like that?" Colossus said out loud.
"Well she said she was gonna go out with Lexa and Rogue…wonder if they went mud wrestling," Pietro answered with a grin. After he said that he along with gambit started having some not so innocent thoughts.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Wanda?" John called out.
"I'm in the shower," he heard from inside the bathroom.
"You Ok?"
"Yeah."
"So you gonna tell me what happened?"
"I can barley hear you," she yelled to him as the water started falling. John looked at the knob and slowly started turning it since he found it unlock. He took a peek inside and saw Wanda's slim figure through the sheet around the bathtub.
"Can I come in?" he asked waiting to hear her shout at him for coming in. Wanda stuck her head from behind the shower curtain and noticed that he was averting his eyes from where she was standing.
"Yeah…just don't flush the toilet or turn the handles on the sink. John turned to face her and Wanda noticed there was a faint blush on his cheeks. She mentally laugh at his nervousness and gave a smile.
"So what happened?" John asked seating on the toilet seat while still trying not to face the shower curtains at Wanda's slim and sexy figure. Wanda didn't seem to really care he could see her naked at any moment and just started telling the day's event.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"I can't believe you did that…bitch," Rogue said walking into the mansion.
Lexa was laughing while hoping not to dirty the carpet to bad. "You asked for it…what in the world made you think throwing me in the pond would be a good idea?"
"We weren't really thinking," Rogue answered.
"Ahhh…look what your doing to the carpet," Jean yelled as she saw both muddy Goths. Both of them turned to look at 'miss perfect'.
"Oh we're sorry jean," Lexa answered looking very innocent. "We'll go straight upstairs and change," she added with a smile. Then she slowly walked upstairs being followed by Rogue who was smirking at what she was doing. When they reached Jean's door Lexa turned to look at Rogue and did a little shake making some mud fall from her body to the carpet.
"Yah are so evil," Rogue commented. Lexa gave her an 'I know' look and then ran for the bathroom so Rogue wouldn't get there first. Seconds after the door closed she heard banging on it.
"That's not fair…I look more fucked up then you," Rogue yelled at her through the door.
"To bad I got here first," Lexa shouted back and started the shower.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
5:00
John walked downstairs and found Remy sitting in the kitchen alone.
"Where's Scarlet?"
"She's sleeping…seems today tired her out. What time are we leaving?"
"In about fifteen."
"You gonna say bye to anyone?"
"Non…not directly at least." John just looked at him not knowing weather he should try and talk him out of it. After a minute he decided to go for.
"Look mate…I don't think you should leave…I mean what about everything you have here? Don't make a big mistake jus cause you're ego has been bruised."
Remy stared at him before asking him, "What do I have here?"
"Us…your friends…your heart," saying that John threw a card at him. Remy easily caught the card and noticed it was a Queen of Hearts.
"Non…c'est time to move on," Remy said got up put the card down and walked away. John watched him go and then looked down at the card, he picked it up and walked into the living room where he found who he was looking for.
Remy walked upstairs and into Wanda's room. He saw her sleeping…which is how he wanted to find her. He kneeled down besides her sleeping form and started whispering.
"Avoir Wanda…make sure you treat Johnny boy good. That idiot needs someone to be looking out for him so he don't get into to much trouble." Remy whispered close to her ear but low enough to not wake her. He took a glance around her room and saw a picture of her, Rogue, X-23, and Pyslocke on her drawer top. He picked it up and outlined Rogue, then put it back down and walked downstairs where John was already waiting for him with key's in hand.
"Ready?"
"Oui." with that they both walked outside were the rain seemed to have stopped.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Pietro watched them leave through the window. He tapped a finger on his leg impatiently and looked at the clock, 5:15. Still 45 minutes till operation: go wake Wanda up. He looked at what John had given him and started twirling the card around his finger. 'Hmmm it wouldn't hurt to wake her up 15 minutes before 6...would it' he though to himself.
5:50
Pietro was pacing back and forth…'ten minutes…I can wait…or maybe not' he though and then sped upstairs to find his sleeping twin.
"Wanda get up…"
"…"
"WANDA SOMEONE JUST CALLED FROM THE HOSPITAL…PYRO'S IN A COMA!" Pietro shouted in her ear. Wanda got up as if a bolt of lightning hit her.
"Just Kidding" he quickly said afterwards. Wanda glared at him.
"What the hell?"
"Come on…" he said walking towards the door.
"What?" she asked confused.
"I'll explain in the car…LANCE"
Wanda got and followed Pietro…both found Lance downstairs heading up to see what Pietro wanted.
"What?" asked the brown haired cutie.
"Come on…we gotta go to the X-mansion." He said heading for the door.
"What" Lance started.
"For?" Wanda finished.
"Gambit's leaving to New Orleans…John went with him and told me to tell you and to try and get Rogue to the airport," Pietro answered them both and handed Wanda the queen of hearts car.
Wanda looked at the card before running outside, both Pietro and Lance heard, "Damn him," come from her mouth.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Rogue was laying down in her bed and looked squeaky clean. She was now wearing her black pants with the slits on her knees and a blank tank top with the purple shirt that had the straps go to her shoulder. On Rogue's stomach laid a copy of Anne Rice's 'Interview with a Vampire' opened. Rogue was looking at the ceiling and was lost in her thoughts.
'Maybe ah should listen to what the stupid swamp rat has tah say…ah mean he did try talkin tah meh afta I was still ignoring him, and he keeps givin meh those looks. Fihne maybe I'm not that mad anymore but still he could have told meh he was getting hitch…what kinda jerk strings yah along, asks yah on a date but not have enough time to say…bah the way ah'm getting married in a week' After much more arguing with herself Rogue came up with one conclusion, 'Ah'm gonna talk tah him' after those thoughts four girls walked into her room looking as if someone had died.
"Rogue you need to talk with Gamit!" Lexa yelled at her. 'Ah am but not when all yah are pushing meh…Ah don't like tah be pushed' Rogue though but answered, "No ah don't."
Elizabeth had read Rogue's thoughts and gave a scowl then said "Rogue…you don't have time for games luv." Rogue looked at the four confused.
"Remy's going back to New Orleans, his flight leaves in less than one hour," Wanda said looking at the clock on Rogue's dresser.
"What?" Rogue asked sitting up and looking at them shocked.
"Lance is like outside…do you want me to like tell him to leave or what?" Kitty asked as she looked at her. Rogue looked at the small valley girl and then to her three gothic friends trying to see if they were lying by the expressions on their faces. They all looked pretty serious.
"What are you gonna do?" Wanda asked kneeling by the bedside and put something in Rogue's hand. Rogue looked at her and got up.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
6:30
"What time does his flight leave?" Rogue asked from the back seat of Lance's jeep.
"It's suppose to leave at 7:00" Wanda responded from the passenger seat. Kitty was next to Rogue jiggling her leg up and down as if she was nervous.
"Can you stop doing that?" Lexa told her irritated, she was sitting on Pietro's lap and he was sitting next to Kitty who just had to sit in the middle.
"Like how long will it takes us to get there?" Kitty asked ignoring the glare she was getting from Lex.
"About twenty minutes," Lance answered. Wanda looked at her watch, "We're gonna cut it close."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
6:50
They had finally arrived at the airport and everybody got off except Lance who was going to park and Kitty who didn't want lance to be alone.
"We'll see you inside," Lexa called out to them as she ran after Pietro, Wanda and Rogue.
"What gate?" Pietro asked his sister.
"Second floor gate 125," Wanda responded and the four teens ran on the elevator stairs. They arrived at a check in point and tried getting through but were stopped by a security guard.
"Can I help you?"
"Yah…can yah let us through?"
"I'm sorry but only those with tickets and people that are with them to see them off my enter."
"But we're here to see someone off," Lexa yelled.
"I'm sorry but the person with the ticket must be here with you for you all to get through."
"Please ah'll only be a couple of minutes," Rogue pleaded standing in front of him.
"I'm sorry there is nothing I can do," the guard answered emotionless. Lexa pushed Rogue out of the way so she could be in front of the guard.
"Look she asked nicely…I'm not. Get out of the fucken way!" X-23 demanded but the guard didn't move or looked amused. Lexa chuckled and turned her head as if she was gonna look back, she gave Wanda a small glance and all of a sudden her right hand came up and threw at the punch at the guard. The guard not expecting this fell to the ground. Lexa looked around and found that guards that had watched were making their way towards them. Wanda walked over to Rogue and pushed her forward pass the check point, "What are you waiting…GO!"
"Yeah…we'll handle things here," Lexa answered and turned to give Rogue a small smile. Wanda turned away from Rogue and stood next to X-23 facing all the guards as was Pietro. Rogue gave them one last glance and then run to find the gate.

6:55
Rogue got to the gate and found that there was nobody there. She ran to the window that showed the airplanes take off and looked around.
"His down there," a voice said making Rogue turn around startled. It was John and he was pointing outside. Rogue looked and found what she was looking for.
"Shit…how am ah gonna get down there?" Rogue asked herself out loud. John walked a couple feet away and opened a door.
"I say you try the stairs shelia," he said with a smirk. Rogue turned to him and gave a small smile.
"Thahnks" she said and walked past him.
"Good luck." John whispered and closed the door behind her. Then he went back to the window and looked down at Remy's ant looking figure.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Rogue was running down the stairs, 'Ok Ok what are you gonna tell him' she kept repeating in her head. 'Don't go maybe…no…ah don't wantya tah go…yah I'll say that'. Rogue was paying some much attention to her thoughts that she tripped and went flying down some steps, she hit a wall, good thing she tripped at the bottom of the stairs cause if she hadn't she would have been a goner.
'OUCH…gotta keep going' Rogue shook the pain off and walked out the door. It started raining again, she looked around and looked for the airplane Gambit was about to board. After she found it she ran full speed to it. She stopped a couple feet away from the stairs and noted that Gambit was walking up them to leave. Rogue looked at his back and took a deep breath, she was getting soaked as the rain seemed to get heavier and her cheeks were flushed.
"REMY" she shouted out.
Gambit stopped walking he was in front of the airplane doors but he heard someone call his name. He turned around and found the person he least expected…
"Rogue," he said.
"Ah…ah…" 'Come on dummy what are yah waiting fohr tell him yah don't want him to go' Rogue though to herself.
"Ah…ah Love yah", 'WHAT wrong words, wrong words, wrong words' Rogue though panicky.
Remy's eyes widened when he heard her.
"Sir…will you be boarding the plane?" the stewardess asked him. Remy looked at the plane then at Rogue…seconds later he boarded the plane.
The End

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Rogue's face turned to shock and it seemed like her heart stopped beating. Tears started to form and she turned away from the plane so when they fell no one would be able to see. Her back was towards the plane and her knees started feeling weak soon they gave out and she tumbled to the floor. The queen of hearts she was holding fell out of her hand as she stretched both of them out so only her knees would hit hard on the cement. Her eyes closed and the tears came out, they were being well hidden by the rain.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
John watched as Rogue fell to the ground and kept herself up with her hands.
"Serves her right for not hearing him out to begin with," he said out loud with a frown on his face.
'Boom' seconds later something hit him on the head and his head hit the glass window.
"Ouch" he said and turned around to find his beautiful girlfriend glaring at him.
"Get up," she mumbled as she looked outside with a worried glance at Rogue.
Her expression changed to a small smile seconds later. John noticed this and looked outside as well.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Rogue's eyes were closed. 'Ah gotta get up…what ah'm doing…dropping here…shedding tears…it's a sign of weakness' Rogue though stopping her tears from flowing.
'Get up' her head shot up but her eyes were still closed. 'Ah…coulda sworn ah just heard Wanda' she thought. Her eyes slowly opened and when they were opened they suddenly went really wide.
A gloved hand was a couple of inches away from her face…a soaked queen of hearts gently resting on the palm. She looked at the card and slowly looked up at the person. Emerald meet red on black.
"Rem…Remy" Rogue said breathless. Gambit looked at her no smile no frown. He was looking at her expressionless. Then slowly it turned into a genuine smile and he spoke.
"Desole chere mais…I couldn't leave my stuff on de plane…et I couldn't leave de state if ya didn't want me to."
Rogue looked at him shocked and then her opened mouth turned into a smile. She threw her arms around Remy knocking him down since he was also kneeling. She ended up being on top of him but her face was buried in the crook of his neck which was protected by a black turtle neck.
His head rested on her shoulder and he gave a small chuckle. "I hope I didn't give you a scare."
Rogue giggled and then he heard her say, "Yah are soo dead when we get up."
He smiled as drops of water hit his face (still raining people lol). He moved his lips to her hair covered ear and whispered into it, "Je t'aime aussie." Rogue moved her head and looked at him, she smiled and his head started leaning into her.
"Remy…don't" she whispered while looking at his lips.
"Y' not…you took de risk the day before Valentine's,' saying that he crushed his lips to hers. After a couple of seconds Rogue felt her absorption powers kicking in and she pulled away when she had only absorbed a little.
He looked at her dazed and before closing his eyes and making his head rest on the cement he said, "De things I'd do for you". (yay finally got to use the title name)
Rogue watched him with a smile on her lips and gave a small giggle.

"That is like so totally cute," Kitty said tears forming in her eyes as she watched the couple from the window on the second floor. One of her hands was around lance's waist and his hand was on her shoulder. After saying that she put her head on Lance's chest and started bawling her eyes out.
Wanda's was next to her, her arms were crossed and under them were Johns arms which were holding on to her waist. He was standing behind her and his chin was resting on her shoulder.
"You were saying?" she asked him about the remark he had made minutes ago.
"Forget it…she's stubborn…he's stubborn…they belong together," he concluded with a smile. Wanda smirked and looked at him, she gave him a small peck on the lips and looked back to Rogue who was now helping Remy up.
"Yup…stubborn people belong together…just like crazy people do," Lexa commented while giving Wanda and John a side glance. She was standing next to Wanda and next to her was Pietro who was holding her hand. As they watched the southern couple he squeezed her hand.
Before they got quiet Wanda said, "What do you know…wishes do come true." She and Lexa looked at each other, giggled and then turned to look their southern friend and her prince charming.

Chapter 15
(Sunday)
Wanda woke up to the bright light…it was a beautiful morning yet she had a feeling something was gonna go terribly wrong. 'Maybe it's because of Magneto will be back…according to Gambit' she thought. She shrugged the feeling off and got up to take a shower. When she was done she got dressed and headed to the kitchen for breakfast. When she walked in she noticed that John was in there eating cereal and watching cartoons. He looked up as she walked in.
"Mornin luv."
"Morning," Wanda answered and poured herself some cereal too. After the cartoon went to commercials and Wanda knew John attention wouldn't be on the TV she asked, "So why exactly are you up so early today?" Before he could answer Remy walked in.
"Mornin Scarlet," he said and went to get a glass of water.
"Is it Sunday?" she asked, the two boys who nodded at her. "Wow what do you know…miracles do happen." Both of them gave her confusing looks, she noticed and said, "You two usually like to sleep in on Sunday's so having you up right now is weird…is there something your doing that I should know about?" she asked with a perk eyebrow.
"NO!" both answered in unison making her get suspicious. Before she could say anything else the other members came barging in.
"Since Magneto is coming back today…will we be going back to the base?" Colossus asked Gambit when he sat down next to the Cajun with a doughnut in his hand.
"I think so," Remy answered while John looked away from the TV and stared at Wanda.
Her dad was coming back and he had no idea if he was going to tell Magneto about what they had going on. He wasn't even sure if it was really serious…he hoped it was cause from the first time he saw her he thought she was attractive. Then they moved into the boarding house and he had gotten to know her…she was like fire which turned him on, not that her body didn't do that enough already. Messing with the bosses daughter was dangerous…he knew this but now that he had gotten to know her and tasted her lips, forgetting her would be hard…so why even try. 'I'm gonna miss living wit 'er…to bad we hooked up this late, if it had been early I could think of a couple of things we coulda done' he though and a very sly smirk appeared on his face.
Wanda looked over at John who was smirking at her for an unknown reason. 'He probably has his mind in the gutter' she thought while giving him a smirk of her own. 'To bad he's leaving today…hmm I guess I could sneak over to their base' she thought still smirking. Than as an after thought she added, 'and after we're done I'll can always try to kill my daddy dearest'.
Quicksilver and Gambit shared a look after they looked at Scarlet and Pyro. They didn't want to know what was going on in their heads. Pietro was thinking 'Eww that's my sister he's looking at like that…he better not try anything before he leaves or else…". Remy was think, 'Yes Pyro has distracted her and now she's not asking why we're up early…Bon I should finish breakfast and finish packing what I'm gonna take wit moi' as he finished thinking this he got up and headed upstairs. The others watched him go but then went back to either eating or watching TV.

X-Mansion
"Rogue get your ass up…we gotta meet Wanda in an hour," X-23 shouted into a sleeping Rogue's ear. Rogue's emerald eyes slowly opened.
"I'm up, I'm up," she said in a sleepy voice.
"K…I'll see you downstairs in ten minutes…if your not there by then I'll come up here and drag you down by your hair," Lexa threaten walking out of the room. Rogue groaned and took her sweet time getting up. When she was completely up she went to her closet and got out her black tights, skirt, green see through shirt and a black tank top. She quickly changed and then took her shoes out, put them on, and when she was all done she made her way to the kitchen.
"5, 4, 3, 2,…" Lexa was in the kitchen looking at her watch and counting the minutes, before she could say one, Rogue walked in.
"Damn I was about to go get you," Lexa said a little disappointed that she showed up on time. Rogue glared at her and Lexa smiled back. Rogue then turned her attention to the other person in the room, "Mornin Kurt."
Kurt was looking at his cereal he mumbled "morning" but didn't look up. Rogue didn't really pay attention to that and made herself some coffee and grabbed a jelly filled doughnut. They ate in silence except for Lexa who had chosen NOW to crack her knuckles. Rogue gave her an annoyed look, Lexa caught on to it and put her hands on her lap while giving a sheepish look at Rogue.
"So Kurt you going out with Amanda today?" Rogue asked. Hearing Amanda's name made Kurt raise his head forgetting why he didn't want to look at Rogue in the first place.
"Ja," he answered and notice Rogue looking intently at his face.
"What in the hell happened to you?" Rogue asked talking about the deep cut above in left eyebrow and other little scraps he had on his face.
"Uh…ha ha ha," Kurt laughed nervously while thinking of a lie. "Well I had a bad day yesterday…you know after I went to see if you wanted to join us…" Kurt stared. Rogue nodded her head and waited for him to continue.
"Well I took a shower and slipped on water making me fall and then my head hit the toilet…it was awful and very painful. Then I went outside to get some fresh air incase that would lower the pain when I heard a sound from a near by bush…I went to see what it was…when I was leaning over the bush this big black cat jumped on my face…causing all these scratches," Kurt concluded without staring into Rogue's eyes.
"Uhuh," Rogue answered looking at him disbelieving. Then she looked at Lexa and said, "I'm gonna call Wanda to see if she'd ready to go," Lexa nodded her head and Rogue walked out of the room. When she was far away not to hear anything from the kitchen Lexa spoke.
"Wanna tell me what really happened?" she asked.
"What are you talking about that was the truth," Kurt countered.
"Uhuh…and I'm gonna dye my hair blond today."
"You are?" Kurt asked in shock. Lexa gave him a look that said 'do I look crazy to u?' and nodded 'NO'.
"I can smell a lie miles away Kurt…you just lied to Rogue. I wanna know why."
"She doesn't have to know what really happened," Kurt said.
"Well…then you should tell me."
"I don't have to," Kurt answered stubbornly.
"You can tell me or…you could always explain it to her!" Lex answered with a smile. Kurt looked at her in horror…then sang like a bird.
"Ohhh…if Rogue finds out she's gonna be pissed at you," Lexa said after hearing about the whole thing.
"I know that's why WE'RE going to keep it a secret," he told her in a whisper. Lexa looked at him then said, "I really don't keep secrets away from Rogue, Kurt."
"Oh please please…you said it yourself if she finds out I'm dead…if I die you'll have to deal with a heartbroken Amanda," Kurt said.
'Ahhh one heartbreak at a time' Lexa thought. "Fine fine fine…but if she finds out by other people like Wanda it's not my fault." she said walking out of the kitchen and went in search of Rogue.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Wanda walked into the kitchen were the boys still hadn't finished.
"I'm going out with Rogue and Lexa," she whispered into John's ear after sitting on his lap.
"You need a ride?" he asked getting ready to get up.
"Nah I'll take the jeep just wanted to tell you so you wouldn't go looking for me," she answered.
"Alright," he answered started kissing her neck then going up her cheek and then met her lips.
"Excuse us but some of us are still eating," Pietro said smirking. Wanda turned to glare at him as the other except toad looked at the couple with amused looks.
"Whatever Pietro…my cell will be on in case you need me," Wanda turned her attention back on John. "Call me if Magneto shows up and you have to leave or something thing."
"Sure thing luv," John answered and gave her one last kiss before she left.
"Bye guys tell Lance I have the jeep when he wakes up," Wanda called behind her shoulder and then walked out slamming the door behind her.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
John walked upstairs to the room he shared with Remy.
"'Ey mate you ready?" the pyromaniac asked his demon eyed friend.
"Oui," Remy responded adding a couple of things like a deck of cards to his bag. John noticed an opened deck and guessed that Remy would be carrying those in his pocket. He grabbed them and started playing with them.
"So what time does the plane leave?"
"7:00"
"have you talked to magneto about this…if you leave without warning he'll go bonkers on ya," John said.
"Oui…talked to him about it when he called on Friday."
"And he's letting you go…just like that?"
"Yup…guess he doesn't need us that much anymore."
"There's gotta be a catch…him just letting you go that willingly," John mused with confusion.
"Well when he called he wasn't alone," Remy said.
"Oh…who's he with?"
"Mystique."
"Oh…ohhhh no wonder he took a while getting here," John said with a smirk.
"That's sick homme…that's Wanda's pere and Rogue's mere…you talkin bout," Remy said shaking his head as if trying to get the mage out of his head.
"'Ey you never know," John answered laughing.
"Hey guys, were is my jeep?" Lance asked walking into the room.
"Wanda took it," Pyro answered.
"She WHAT?" Lance yelled. "But I have to go see Kitty," he started mumbling and started freaking out that he may not see his pretty kitty for a couple of hours. "Oh no I'm even forgetting the sound of her voice," Lance screamed. John and Remy shared a look.
"Mon ami, dere are phones you know," Remy said. Lance looked at him like he was a god.
"The phone of course," lance said and went in search for the phone.
"That boy is so whipped," John said laughing and then jumping on his bed.
"Don't know why ya laughing…that's gonna be you in a couple of weeks," Remy answered while swiping his card away from the flame addict with a lighter in hand.
"Me? Whipped? Don't think so mate," John replied.
"Actually I think u already showing signs," Remy teased.
"Whatever…you planning on telling the Rogue Sheila that you're leaving?" John asked. Remy stayed quiet and looked at Pyro.
"Non, it's not like she'll care," he replied. John stared at Remy's saddened face.
"If that's how you want it," John replied.
"Come on lets go down," Remy said while hiding his packed bag in the closet. He then walked out the door and John slowly followed while thinking he was really smart because of the idea he had just gotten.
'Well mate you said not to tell anybody…but I don't know anybody named anybody so I guess that means I can tell somebody. Hmmm I hope this brilliant idea works' He thought to himself while checking his back pocket to make sure the thing he had taken from Remy was still there. He smiled when he felt it and thought, 'sharing a room with a thief pay's off doesn't it'. He took a look at the clock that read 12:00.

Wanda was driving with Rogue in the passenger seat and Lexa in the back with both feet on the seat relaxing.
"So what do you guys wanna do anyway?" Wanda asked both of the.
"I don't care," Rogue said looking bored/sad. Wanda rolled her eyes. 'Do not hurt her…she is your best friend…she'll be fine in a couple of days…if she's not…than you can hurt her and not feel guilty' were Wanda's thoughts while giving Rogue side glances. Lexa noticed the new sour look on Wanda's face and decided to intervene.
"Let's go to a CD store maybe they have some new stuff that we'll like," she suggested.
"That's fine with me…what about you?" Wanda asked Rogue.
"Why not." was the only answer she got.
3 hours later (3:00)
"Well that sucked" Lexa commented as all three entered the car once again. They had spent hours in stores and hated it.
"Tell me…why exactly did we do something we absolutely hate?" Rogue asked.
"Shopping isn't that bad," Wanda said getting a look from both Goths. "OK so it really sucks but I don't wanna be home when my dad gets there," she complained.
"Why…you don't feel like killing him anymore?" Rogue asked curious.
"Or maybe you're scared of what he'll think about you and John?" Lexa commented.
"I don't think I care that much about killing him anymore."
"I bet that cause of your new boy toy," Lexa said smirking even Rogue gave a small smile at that. Wanda noticed that from both of them…she also noticed they weren't wearing their seat belts.
The car went….SCREEEECH seconds later making Rogue and Lexa crash into the jeeps sides. Wanda smirked.
"Bitch" Rogue and Lexa said in unison.
"You guys asked for it…how bout we stop at the park for a while?" she asked them.
Rogue nodded not wanting to argue…or go to the mansion where everyone had noticed her odd behavior. She still couldn't believe she was so out of it that Logan had told her to get out of the danger room. Then of course he had wanted to talk about it, good thing she blew him off though. She could tell Wanda and Lexa were annoyed…it wasn't hard to tell considering she knew them well. Thinking about all this got her pissed off…but she wasn't sure who she was angry at…Gambit…or herself.
"Hello anybody home?" Lexa asked waving a hand in front of Rogue's face interrupting her of her previous thoughts. Rogue looked at her and Wanda and noticed the look they were giving her. Before they could say anything she said, "Ah'm fine" and got out the car since they had arrived at the park.
"Whatever" Lexa mumbled so only Wanda could hear her. Wanda didn't say anything she just got out the car.
Soon they found themselves sitting in a bench in front of the pond. Lexa went into her pockets and took three pennies out.
"Here" she said giving them a penny, "make a wish!"
Wanda was holding back a laugh and Rogue looked at her like she was crazy, they both looked at each other and couldn't help it…they laughed.
"What?" X-23 asked clueless.
"You throw pennies into fountains Lex," Wanda answered with tears in her eyes.
"Sooo…who's say's it won't work if we throw them in ponds?"
"Fine" one by one they threw their pennies in.
"So what did you wish for?"
"If we tell the wishes won't come true," Rogue answered looking at her blurred reflection in the water. They stayed quiet once again. It's weird how they could be quiet for longer than an hour and it never made them feel uncomfortable. They somehow shared a bond that let them know what they were thinking or feeling. Lexa was so relaxed she was starting to fall asleep. Her head landed on Rogue's shoulder, Rogue looked at the younger girl. She smiled at the thought that Lexa was probably happier than she'd been in a long time. She had found happiness…in Pietro which still confused Wanda and herself but who were they to judge. One had fallen for a fire obsessed Aussie and the other was denying her feeling for a demon eyed Cajun.
Rogue looked at Wanda who was also looking at their sleeping friend. A drop of clear liquid started falling down on her cheek. She wiped it off and looked at the sky as did Rogue.
"Time to go," Wanda said getting up. Rogue nodded and started to shiver.
"Lex time to go it's raining," Rogue told her nudging at her to wake up. Lexa's opened and looked at the sky. She got up and started turning around in circles with her mouth opened.
"Are you sure she's 16?" Wanda asked.
"She was last time checked," Rogue answered as Lexa danced around in the rain.
"How odd…the day was really pretty in the morning…now it looks like there's gonna be a storm," Wanda mused.
Lexa finally stopped and said, "Isn't it great?" while looking at the pond that now had lots of ripples because of the rain.
"Mhmm," Rogue responded while having a very evil though in her head. She looked at Wanda who was smirking evilly probably having the same thought. They both quietly creped behind X-23 and without warning pushed her in.
Poor Lexa didn't know what hit her as she landed in the pond.
"Oh HELL NO!" she yelled getting up from landing in the cold water. Both Rogue and Wanda were laughing until they saw the evil glint in X-23's eyes. "She did it!" they yelled at the same time and pointed at each other. A drenched Lexa didn't care…she just looked at them as if they were cute little bunnies…and she was the big bad wolf.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
4:30
Wanda opened the door to the boarding house and walked in, she started walking towards her room but took a peek in the living room to see what the guys were doing.
"Shelia! What happened?" John asked looking at his girlfriend who was covered in mud. Wanda's eyes narrowed.
"Don't call me that…and you don't wanna know." she answered and proceeded to the bathroom to take a shower. John got up and followed her. The others in the room except Lance who was on the phone with Kitty started laughing thinking about how ridiculous the Scarlet witch had look.
"I wonder what she did to end up looking like that?" Colossus said out loud.
"Well she said she was gonna go out with Lexa and Rogue…wonder if they went mud wrestling," Pietro answered with a grin. After he said that he along with gambit started having some not so innocent thoughts.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Wanda?" John called out.
"I'm in the shower," he heard from inside the bathroom.
"You Ok?"
"Yeah."
"So you gonna tell me what happened?"
"I can barley hear you," she yelled to him as the water started falling. John looked at the knob and slowly started turning it since he found it unlock. He took a peek inside and saw Wanda's slim figure through the sheet around the bathtub.
"Can I come in?" he asked waiting to hear her shout at him for coming in. Wanda stuck her head from behind the shower curtain and noticed that he was averting his eyes from where she was standing.
"Yeah…just don't flush the toilet or turn the handles on the sink. John turned to face her and Wanda noticed there was a faint blush on his cheeks. She mentally laugh at his nervousness and gave a smile.
"So what happened?" John asked seating on the toilet seat while still trying not to face the shower curtains at Wanda's slim and sexy figure. Wanda didn't seem to really care he could see her naked at any moment and just started telling the day's event.

"I can't believe you did that…bitch," Rogue said walking into the mansion.
Lexa was laughing while hoping not to dirty the carpet to bad. "You asked for it…what in the world made you think throwing me in the pond would be a good idea?"
"We weren't really thinking," Rogue answered.
"Ahhh…look what your doing to the carpet," Jean yelled as she saw both muddy Goths. Both of them turned to look at 'miss perfect'.
"Oh we're sorry jean," Lexa answered looking very innocent. "We'll go straight upstairs and change," she added with a smile. Then she slowly walked upstairs being followed by Rogue who was smirking at what she was doing. When they reached Jean's door Lexa turned to look at Rogue and did a little shake making some mud fall from her body to the carpet.
"Yah are so evil," Rogue commented. Lexa gave her an 'I know' look and then ran for the bathroom so Rogue wouldn't get there first. Seconds after the door closed she heard banging on it.
"That's not fair…I look more fucked up then you," Rogue yelled at her through the door.
"To bad I got here first," Lexa shouted back and started the shower.

5:00
John walked downstairs and found Remy sitting in the kitchen alone.
"Where's Scarlet?"
"She's sleeping…seems today tired her out. What time are we leaving?"
"In about fifteen."
"You gonna say bye to anyone?"
"Non…not directly at least." John just looked at him not knowing weather he should try and talk him out of it. After a minute he decided to go for.
"Look mate…I don't think you should leave…I mean what about everything you have here? Don't make a big mistake jus cause you're ego has been bruised."
Remy stared at him before asking him, "What do I have here?"
"Us…your friends…your heart," saying that John threw a card at him. Remy easily caught the card and noticed it was a Queen of Hearts.
"Non…c'est time to move on," Remy said got up put the card down and walked away. John watched him go and then looked down at the card, he picked it up and walked into the living room where he found who he was looking for.
Remy walked upstairs and into Wanda's room. He saw her sleeping…which is how he wanted to find her. He kneeled down besides her sleeping form and started whispering.
"Avoir Wanda…make sure you treat Johnny boy good. That idiot needs someone to be looking out for him so he don't get into to much trouble." Remy whispered close to her ear but low enough to not wake her. He took a glance around her room and saw a picture of her, Rogue, X-23, and Pyslocke on her drawer top. He picked it up and outlined Rogue, then put it back down and walked downstairs where John was already waiting for him with key's in hand.
"Ready?"
"Oui." with that they both walked outside were the rain seemed to have stopped.

Pietro watched them leave through the window. He tapped a finger on his leg impatiently and looked at the clock, 5:15. Still 45 minutes till operation: go wake Wanda up. He looked at what John had given him and started twirling the card around his finger. 'Hmmm it wouldn't hurt to wake her up 15 minutes before 6...would it' he though to himself.
5:50
Pietro was pacing back and forth…'ten minutes…I can wait…or maybe not' he though and then sped upstairs to find his sleeping twin.
"Wanda get up…"
"…"
"WANDA SOMEONE JUST CALLED FROM THE HOSPITAL…PYRO'S IN A COMA!" Pietro shouted in her ear. Wanda got up as if a bolt of lightning hit her.
"Just Kidding" he quickly said afterwards. Wanda glared at him.
"What the hell?"
"Come on…" he said walking towards the door.
"What?" she asked confused.
"I'll explain in the car…LANCE"
Wanda got and followed Pietro…both found Lance downstairs heading up to see what Pietro wanted.
"What?" asked the brown haired cutie.
"Come on…we gotta go to the X-mansion." He said heading for the door.
"What" Lance started.
"For?" Wanda finished.
"Gambit's leaving to New Orleans…John went with him and told me to tell you and to try and get Rogue to the airport," Pietro answered them both and handed Wanda the queen of hearts car.
Wanda looked at the card before running outside, both Pietro and Lance heard, "Damn him," come from her mouth.

Rogue was laying down in her bed and looked squeaky clean. She was now wearing her black pants with the slits on her knees and a blank tank top with the purple shirt that had the straps go to her shoulder. On Rogue's stomach laid a copy of Anne Rice's 'Interview with a Vampire' opened. Rogue was looking at the ceiling and was lost in her thoughts.
'Maybe ah should listen to what the stupid swamp rat has tah say…ah mean he did try talkin tah meh afta I was still ignoring him, and he keeps givin meh those looks. Fihne maybe I'm not that mad anymore but still he could have told meh he was getting hitch…what kinda jerk strings yah along, asks yah on a date but not have enough time to say…bah the way ah'm getting married in a week' After much more arguing with herself Rogue came up with one conclusion, 'Ah'm gonna talk tah him' after those thoughts four girls walked into her room looking as if someone had died.
"Rogue you need to talk with Gamit!" Lexa yelled at her. 'Ah am but not when all yah are pushing meh…Ah don't like tah be pushed' Rogue though but answered, "No ah don't."
Elizabeth had read Rogue's thoughts and gave a scowl then said "Rogue…you don't have time for games luv." Rogue looked at the four confused.
"Remy's going back to New Orleans, his flight leaves in less than one hour," Wanda said looking at the clock on Rogue's dresser.
"What?" Rogue asked sitting up and looking at them shocked.
"Lance is like outside…do you want me to like tell him to leave or what?" Kitty asked as she looked at her. Rogue looked at the small valley girl and then to her three gothic friends trying to see if they were lying by the expressions on their faces. They all looked pretty serious.
"What are you gonna do?" Wanda asked kneeling by the bedside and put something in Rogue's hand. Rogue looked at her and got up.

6:30
"What time does his flight leave?" Rogue asked from the back seat of Lance's jeep.
"It's suppose to leave at 7:00" Wanda responded from the passenger seat. Kitty was next to Rogue jiggling her leg up and down as if she was nervous.
"Can you stop doing that?" Lexa told her irritated, she was sitting on Pietro's lap and he was sitting next to Kitty who just had to sit in the middle.
"Like how long will it takes us to get there?" Kitty asked ignoring the glare she was getting from Lex.
"About twenty minutes," Lance answered. Wanda looked at her watch, "We're gonna cut it close."

6:50
They had finally arrived at the airport and everybody got off except Lance who was going to park and Kitty who didn't want lance to be alone.
"We'll see you inside," Lexa called out to them as she ran after Pietro, Wanda and Rogue.
"What gate?" Pietro asked his sister.
"Second floor gate 125," Wanda responded and the four teens ran on the elevator stairs. They arrived at a check in point and tried getting through but were stopped by a security guard.
"Can I help you?"
"Yah…can yah let us through?"
"I'm sorry but only those with tickets and people that are with them to see them off my enter."
"But we're here to see someone off," Lexa yelled.
"I'm sorry but the person with the ticket must be here with you for you all to get through."
"Please ah'll only be a couple of minutes," Rogue pleaded standing in front of him.
"I'm sorry there is nothing I can do," the guard answered emotionless. Lexa pushed Rogue out of the way so she could be in front of the guard.
"Look she asked nicely…I'm not. Get out of the fucken way!" X-23 demanded but the guard didn't move or looked amused. Lexa chuckled and turned her head as if she was gonna look back, she gave Wanda a small glance and all of a sudden her right hand came up and threw at the punch at the guard. The guard not expecting this fell to the ground. Lexa looked around and found that guards that had watched were making their way towards them. Wanda walked over to Rogue and pushed her forward pass the check point, "What are you waiting…GO!"
"Yeah…we'll handle things here," Lexa answered and turned to give Rogue a small smile. Wanda turned away from Rogue and stood next to X-23 facing all the guards as was Pietro. Rogue gave them one last glance and then run to find the gate.

6:55
Rogue got to the gate and found that there was nobody there. She ran to the window that showed the airplanes take off and looked around.
"His down there," a voice said making Rogue turn around startled. It was John and he was pointing outside. Rogue looked and found what she was looking for.
"Shit…how am ah gonna get down there?" Rogue asked herself out loud. John walked a couple feet away and opened a door.
"I say you try the stairs shelia," he said with a smirk. Rogue turned to him and gave a small smile.
"Thahnks" she said and walked past him.
"Good luck." John whispered and closed the door behind her. Then he went back to the window and looked down at Remy's ant looking figure.

Rogue was running down the stairs, 'Ok Ok what are you gonna tell him' she kept repeating in her head. 'Don't go maybe…no…ah don't wantya tah go…yah I'll say that'. Rogue was paying some much attention to her thoughts that she tripped and went flying down some steps, she hit a wall, good thing she tripped at the bottom of the stairs cause if she hadn't she would have been a goner.
'OUCH…gotta keep going' Rogue shook the pain off and walked out the door. It started raining again, she looked around and looked for the airplane Gambit was about to board. After she found it she ran full speed to it. She stopped a couple feet away from the stairs and noted that Gambit was walking up them to leave. Rogue looked at his back and took a deep breath, she was getting soaked as the rain seemed to get heavier and her cheeks were flushed.
"REMY" she shouted out.
Gambit stopped walking he was in front of the airplane doors but he heard someone call his name. He turned around and found the person he least expected…
"Rogue," he said.
"Ah…ah…" 'Come on dummy what are yah waiting fohr tell him yah don't want him to go' Rogue though to herself.
"Ah…ah Love yah", 'WHAT wrong words, wrong words, wrong words' Rogue though panicky.
Remy's eyes widened when he heard her.
"Sir…will you be boarding the plane?" the stewardess asked him. Remy looked at the plane then at Rogue…seconds later he boarded the plane.
The End

Rogue's face turned to shock and it seemed like her heart stopped beating. Tears started to form and she turned away from the plane so when they fell no one would be able to see. Her back was towards the plane and her knees started feeling weak soon they gave out and she tumbled to the floor. The queen of hearts she was holding fell out of her hand as she stretched both of them out so only her knees would hit hard on the cement. Her eyes closed and the tears came out, they were being well hidden by the rain.

John watched as Rogue fell to the ground and kept herself up with her hands.
"Serves her right for not hearing him out to begin with," he said out loud with a frown on his face.
'Boom' seconds later something hit him on the head and his head hit the glass window.
"Ouch" he said and turned around to find his beautiful girlfriend glaring at him.
"Get up," she mumbled as she looked outside with a worried glance at Rogue.
Her expression changed to a small smile seconds later. John noticed this and looked outside as well.

Rogue's eyes were closed. 'Ah gotta get up…what ah'm doing…dropping here…shedding tears…it's a sign of weakness' Rogue though stopping her tears from flowing.
'Get up' her head shot up but her eyes were still closed. 'Ah…coulda sworn ah just heard Wanda' she thought. Her eyes slowly opened and when they were opened they suddenly went really wide.
A gloved hand was a couple of inches away from her face…a soaked queen of hearts gently resting on the palm. She looked at the card and slowly looked up at the person. Emerald meet red on black.
"Rem…Remy" Rogue said breathless. Gambit looked at her no smile no frown. He was looking at her expressionless. Then slowly it turned into a genuine smile and he spoke.
"Desole chere mais…I couldn't leave my stuff on de plane…et I couldn't leave de state if ya didn't want me to."
Rogue looked at him shocked and then her opened mouth turned into a smile. She threw her arms around Remy knocking him down since he was also kneeling. She ended up being on top of him but her face was buried in the crook of his neck which was protected by a black turtle neck.
His head rested on her shoulder and he gave a small chuckle. "I hope I didn't give you a scare."
Rogue giggled and then he heard her say, "Yah are soo dead when we get up."
He smiled as drops of water hit his face (still raining people lol). He moved his lips to her hair covered ear and whispered into it, "Je t'aime aussie." Rogue moved her head and looked at him, she smiled and his head started leaning into her.
"Remy…don't" she whispered while looking at his lips.
"Y' not…you took de risk the day before Valentine's,' saying that he crushed his lips to hers. After a couple of seconds Rogue felt her absorption powers kicking in and she pulled away when she had only absorbed a little.
He looked at her dazed and before closing his eyes and making his head rest on the cement he said, "De things I'd do for you". (yay finally got to use the title name)
Rogue watched him with a smile on her lips and gave a small giggle.

"That is like so totally cute," Kitty said tears forming in her eyes as she watched the couple from the window on the second floor. One of her hands was around lance's waist and his hand was on her shoulder. After saying that she put her head on Lance's chest and started bawling her eyes out.
Wanda's was next to her, her arms were crossed and under them were Johns arms which were holding on to her waist. He was standing behind her and his chin was resting on her shoulder.
"You were saying?" she asked him about the remark he had made minutes ago.
"Forget it…she's stubborn…he's stubborn…they belong together," he concluded with a smile. Wanda smirked and looked at him, she gave him a small peck on the lips and looked back to Rogue who was now helping Remy up.
"Yup…stubborn people belong together…just like crazy people do," Lexa commented while giving Wanda and John a side glance. She was standing next to Wanda and next to her was Pietro who was holding her hand. As they watched the southern couple he squeezed her hand.
Before they got quiet Wanda said, "What do you know…wishes do come true." She and Lexa looked at each other, giggled and then turned to look their southern friend and her prince charming.
