AN: This is AU. Although there are some key events that took place on the show that still happened. This is my first try at humor type things, so be nice. If you have read any of my other stuff it is mainly angsty dramatic stuff.
Chapter 1
'Three more weeks of school. Three more weeks of school.' was the only thought circling around in Rogue's head. She was sitting in English bored out of her skull. She used to call it mutant class, considering the class consisted of x-men and brotherhood members, but Kelley messed that up when he kicked the brotherhood out of school. She rolled her eyes at the memory. It wasn't like they didn't deserve it, but Lance's stupid rock puns would probably lighten the mood considerably. Who would have ever thought anyone would miss rock puns? Wanda was the only brotherhood member that was still in school, and she was a fairly good student, considering she spent a huge hunk of her life in a mental institution. The only reason she was still in school was that she kept to herself and ignored most everybody, not that anyone talked to her anyway. They were frightened of her.
"Rogue, please pay attention." Rogue looked up the teacher.
"Sorry."
"Your thoughts on Heathcliff..." Rogue rolled her eyes.
"He didn't love Cathy. He was obsessed with her."
"How so?" Rogue wanted to scream in frustration.
"Heathcliff is so obsessed that when Cathy marries Edgar. He goes off and marries Edgar's sister and beats her just out of revenge, and don't even get me started on the second part when he made his sickly son court Cathy and Edgar's daughter, who is his cousin." The teacher looked slightly shocked. "What ya didn't think Ah read it?" Mrs. Clark went back up to the front of the room.
"Heathcliff may have thought he loved Cathy, but it is almost certain that if Heathcliff had not left. Cathy would have married him." Rogue heard Wanda scoff. "What Miss Maximoff?"
"Let's just say I know a completely obsessed guy, and it isn't a very endearing quality. Even if Heathcliff had not left he would have had to deal with Cathy's weirdo of an older brother, who hated him. I think Heathcliff and Cathy grew up together, and since they had all this stuff in common, they thought that it must be love. You do realize how stupid that really is? It's like saying, 'oh we both like grape jelly. We're a match made in Smucker's heaven. It is a good book, but it isn't the great romance people make it out to be."
"What makes a great romance then?" This blonde in the back of the room raised her hand.
"Yes, Amber."
"Well, Ms. Clark, S.J. Andrews is a genius, and he all the same supernatural and gothic elements as this book except his books don't suck." Wanda groaned and laughed at the same time, putting her head in her hands. S.J. Andrews in no way sucked, but now she found out that she had the same taste of reading material as the resident cheerleader, oh joy.
"I'm sorry you feel that way, about Emily Bronte, Miss Jones." Mrs. Clark said, looking at her watch. "Ok ok you seniors, I don't care if you only have three weeks of school left you still have one last project and presentation. It will count as your final, instead of a written test." She ignored the groans and protests going around the room. "You will be split of in groups of three, and I will give out topics for to research and give a presentation over." She began breaking people into groups. "Rogue, Wanda, and Amber. That takes care of everyone. Have fun!" Everyone began getting up at the sound of the bell.
"Ah seriously hope she was bein' sarcastic." Rogue said, walking up to Wanda.
"Tell me about it. I feel like leveling this place."
"Where do you guys wanna meet?" Amber asked, perkily. Wanda and Rogue both looked at each other.
"Library," they replied in unison.
"Ok, I'll see you girls at four then?" They nodded. "This is gonna be great!" She said walking of to lunch.
"You do realize we are going to have to do this all ourselves?" Rogue asked. "She'll try ta work, but we'll get a better grade if we don't let her anywhere near it."
"After the library, where do you want to meet me? Not my place. I can't get any damn work done at that place. Toad slimes something, which in turn pisses my oh so loving brother off so he starts running around in turn causing a twister, which pisses Lance off to the point where I feel that the house is going to shake off it's damn foundation." She explained walking out of the classroom with Rogue. Rogue had to laugh at that. It was just a reflex.
"Sounds fun."
"It isn't when it happens every damn day. We should just stay at the library." Rogue nodded in agreement.
"See ya later." Wanda nodded heading to the lunch room, leaving Rogue at her locker.
Rogue opened her locker seeing Kitty and Kurt on walking towards her.
"Fraternizing with the enemy." Kitty said jokingly.
"Like you're one to talk. Ah got this stupid project to start at the library after school, tell the Prof I might be late." Kitty nodded.
"So What's with you lately?"
"What do ya mean?"
"You just don't seem... you just seem a lot more depressed than your usual self." Rogue leaned against her now shut locker.
"Kitty, I have no freakin' clue. It may be that Ah can't wait to get out of this hell hole, Ah really can't think of nothin' else."
"While it is nice hearing you two talk about your feelings, the fuzzy dude is hungry."
"That's nothing new. You're always hungry." Kitty told him. "I can't wait there is only three weeks let of school. We should all go out and do something this summer. It would be better than a summer of Logan's danger room sessions."
"Sugah, anything would be better than that."
"Really," Kurt asked. Rogue nodded. "Ok ok Logan's danger room sessions or a make out session with Pietro Maximoff."
"Pietro, Ah can knock him out."
~~~~~~~
"Listen you have to have the book. It is the next in the series."
"Let me run it through the computer. What is it again?"
"What are you stupid? I have told you that three times." Wanda said angrily.
"There is no reason to get snippy." Snippy? Who the hell says snippy anymore?
"S.J. Andrews."
"His new book?" Wanda nodded. "Someone just checked out the only copy. That is hot book let me tell you. It hasn't been on the shelf the whole time it has been out."
"Don't you think that means you buy more than one copy?" The librarian ignored her and went on typing on the computer. Wanda felt Rogue walk up next to her and stop at the counter.
"What's up?"
"There is a book I want that supposedly..."
"There she is the last girl to check the book out." The librarian said in time to see Amber walking across the lobby.
"Rogue, you know all that pent up anger I have for my brother?"
"Yeah," she said nervously.
"That bitch is gonna get it."
"Hold up!" Rogue yelled stepping in front of Wanda. "Over a book? That is so retarded."
"Do you not remember that for some reason people think I'm insane? Besides, you haven't read this book. It is a series, and the last one was left with this huge cliff hanger. I have been waiting for this bok to come out for like five months."
"Let's just get to work. So I can leave."
"Fine, but I'm telling you it is a really awesome book, and I know you think I am obsessed, but it is kind of like looking forward to your favorite movies sequel."
"I'm sure it is."
~~~~~~~~~
"Ok, Ah'm gonna stay here and do some research on the internet." Rogue said after about an hour.
"OK," Amber said perkily. Wanda groaned. 'Take the hint to leave. Take the hint to leave. If there is a God, or whatever she will take the hint and leave.' She mentally groaned to herself.
"Wanda, can I ask you a question?" Wanda let out a mental scream that would've broken a dog's eardrum.
"What?" She said slightly upset that the girl didn't leave and she still had the book.
"You're Pietro's sister, right?" Another mental scream. That was it three strikes and she's out. Wanda kept her hands under the table, feeling some chaos magic run through them.
"Yes, I am." She slightly growled, hoping she would get the hint and shut up, before she did something she would regret.
"Well we had this date a couple of weeks ago, and I thought it was great. We talked about my cheer squad and what my plans were as student body president." Wanda slightly chuckled as the girl continued. 'Pietro sure broke the mold on this one.' "I was wondering why he never called."
"Did you discuss him, at all?" She shook her head. "My brother is an egotistical, narcissistic little prick, and if the topic of discussion never got around to him. Then most likely he isn't gonna call, sweetheart." She said nastily.
"Oh," She said sadly. "Will you watch my stuff? I gotta pee." Wanda nodded looking back down at some math homework. She picked her head back up noticing that the annoying blonde was gone. She looked at the girls backpack.
"Sucker!"
"Ah found... Wait she's still here?"
"Bathroom." Wanda replied as the girl walked back to the table.
"Well it was fun tonight, do you wanna meet Wednesday again." The other two nodded, watching the girl walk away.
"I think I just walked out of an episode of The Outer Limits."
"Holy shit, is she for real. What the hell is she on? She's perkier than .... Kitty." Rogue said shuddering. She love Kitty of course, but Kitty was just about the maximum amount of perkiness she could stand in a person.
"Pietro dated her." Wanda said pulling a book from her backpack.
"Your brother has weird taste."
"Tell me about it I can't believe we shared the same womb." Wanda replied opening the front cover of the book. Rogue saw it plain as day, on the cover in big bold letters. S.J. Andrews.
"Wanda." She said almost shocked.
"What?" She said looking at the cover. "Oh don't worry I'll return it so she doesn't have to pay for late charges." She put the book down. "So what did you find?"
"Can Ah ask you a question?" Rogue asked pulling out a bottled water out of her back pack.
"Sure."
"Do you ever wonder why we fight and what we're fighting for?" Wanda seemed to genuinely seem to be thinking about it.
"Sometimes... I know I'm not happy. I mean the whole situation makes me confused and I don't know if has to do with any philosophy or anything. I just feel like I need to get away and find myself."
"Ah can't wait until this year is over. We'll graduate, and be away from the place. This has been a bad year." Rogue stated looking over some research, expecting a response. She looked back up and saw a slightly confused Wanda. Wanda hadn't heard the last statement. Rogue sighed. It was kinda sad. If Wanda had been around during her brotherhood days, she could see them being friends, well at least post mind fuck wanda. It was a sad thing to say, but before she was just scary.
"Can I ask you something now?" Rogue nodded. "Have you ever felt like you aren't yourself?"
"Hello... Wanda your talkin' ta the girl that has a whole bunch of other people psyche's dancing around in her head."
"You're right it was a stupid question."
"No, it wasn't a stupid question. Why do you ask?" She said taking a drink of her water.
"It is just that... sometimes I have this nagging feeling in the back of my mind that I'm not who I'm supposed to be. That there is something wrong kinda like.... Christ, I can't explain it." She finished. Rogue was glad that her face falling went unnoticed by Wanda. No one was really sure what happened at her father's base just that Kurt and Todd had saved her, but it was apparent that whatever happened wasn't going to last forever. "I think I need a vacation from everything."
"Hey, whatcha talkin' about? It seems deep." The two goths jumped at the sound of her voice.
"Jesus, Tabby, Ah didn't know ya knew where the library was."
"Don't insult me. I got lost and came in to ask for directions." She said sitting down. Rogue looked at her, strangely.
"We were just disscussing how badly we need a vacation this summer." Rogue told her instantly regretting the words coming out of her mouth. She could see the wheels turning in Tabitha's head, and usually when Tabitha got an idea, you wanted to be as far away as possible.
"We should do that. Except for the whole summer. You two are eighteen. What's stopping you? We could get a whole lot of people together and like rent a place somewhere for the summer."
"Yeah, raight. That's not gonna happen."
"Why?"
"Because we're all poor."
"That's why you get a whole lot of people, but only the cool ones of course. Last thing we need is Scott and Jean going into parent mode on us." Tabitha stated, mentally going through the list of who could go with them and who couldn't. "I'm still debating on Kitty, because we all know that if she goes Lance goes."
"Not if they break up before then." Rogue stated.
"NO! I can't handle it. They well only get back together. To be broken up again. It is a scary vicisous cycle. You're forgetting I live with the guy. Have you ever seen him in a kitty induced daze? It is some scary shit." Wanda said.
"You're telling me. Once he actually did NOT use a rock pun before he avalanched something. Another time in one of his happy kitty induced dazes, your brother had this twister going with todd in the middle. They just wanted to see what would happen to todd's slime with some funnel action, and he didn't get mad."
"Wow," rogue said, while Wanda nodded in agreement.
"So," Tabby started. "Are we going on vacation?"
"No," Wanda said quickly. "If I have a summer of freedom, and then I go back to that house I will lose my mind. If I leave for the summer. I'm not coming back. I can't hang around here anymore, being nothing more than a lackey. I'm done." Rogue looked at her.
"She's right. I mean I love the institute and I have never felt like a lackey, but there's more out there, and I wanna see it."
"We could still get a lot of people to come along. We will just go back, after the summer is over." Tabby said going into party orgnization mode.
"How do you propose to get all the minors out of the institute for the summer?" Rogue asked, feeling like they were just blowing steam and nothing would come from this conversation.
"Like they can keep me locked up." She said dodging her head from one side to the other, discerning a lighthearted laugh from the other two girls.
"Who else would even be willing to go?" Wanda asked more seriously.
"Kitty would, which means Lance. Kurt would but Ah'm not sure if he is goin' home or the summer or not."
"Me, you, tabby, kitty, lance, and kurt. We'd only need one big car. I think we could all fit in his jeep."
"Wanda you're talkin' lahk we're really gonna do this."
"Why not? Let's have everyone meet here tomorow and we'll pick where we're going."

AN: I thought that here I would explain some of the characterizations I am coming up for people, because some people may consider some of their behavior out of character but I have reasons. Mostly though I want to explain my Wanda. Mostly Wanda is going to written as a more naive of a character. Not like Kitty naive, though. When I think of Kitty I think Ditzy, which is not the same thing as dumb, just sometimes ditzy. Wanda I think would be naive in an ignorant kinda way, especially when it comes to drinking drugs or anything of a sexual nature. She spent important years in a mental institution and when Mastermind rewrote her memories, I doubt he wrote anything like that into her memories. So I think she would be oblivious to the reactions she gets from men. I think it is kinda evidenced by the clothes she wears. I realize that is how the cartoon people wanted the character, but I wouldn't wear that clothing in a house full of hormonal teenage boys. I mean she knows about that stuff, but she is just inexperienced when it comes to herself in those situations. Like how someone could look at her lustfully things like that. Also Rogue isn't going to be all angst like all the time. I like her when she is at her sarcastic best. Also Tabby I see as mainly comic relief and I think that is it. Everyone else I don't think I need to explain, or the writer's never really gave them much of a personality to begin with.

I mean she knows about that stuff, but she is just inexperienced when it comes to herself in those situations. Like how someone could look at her lustfully things like that. Also Rogue isn't going to be all angst like all the time. I like her when she is at her sarcastic best. Also Tabby I see as mainly comic relief and I think that is it. Everyone else I don't think I need to explain, or the writer's never really gave them much of a personality to begin with.
