Rogue: Score.
Jean: You got the cute angel guy? No fair!
Scott:….but you have me…
Jean: What? Oh,uh….of course!
Pietro: Busted.
*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^**^^**^*^*
Christmas time again. The snow was on the ground. And the mansion was pretty empty, for the holidays were here.
*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^
Fred: Uh, isn't that a little redundant? I mean, it's Christmas time!
Todd: *horrible singing* All I want for Christmas is you!!!!!!!! I love you Wanda!
Wanda:….He's going to pull a santa clause and fall off the roof, I'm sure of it.
Pietro: I saw Wanda kissing Toady Clause………
Wanda: DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*^^**^*^^*^*^*^*^**^^^**^
Rogue sat alone in her room, reading a novel. It was a good book, but she would have preferred company.
'Rogue? Would you come down please? We have a visitor.'
*^*^*^**^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Kurt: Vow! She's on a roll! So far that's three people.
Tabitha: Well, actually I think this is the first time the professor showed up.
Ray: He showed up a couple stories ago at the very end.
Rahne: RAY?! I thought you were living with the Morlocks again.
Ray: They threw me out after I told them we were running from Kitty.
Tabitha: Why?
Ray: They said I might bring the evil to them.
*^*^*^**^*^^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*
Rogue went down the steps to the main hall. There standing bigger than life, was Warren. The Angel.
*^^*^*^**^^*^^**^*^
Warren: Did someone just say my name?
Rogue: Warren!
Warren: Yes?
Tabitha: Grab him GIRLS!
Rogue: What! No! HE'S MINE!
Amanda: Share the wealth!
Kurt: Amanda!
*^*^*^*^^*^**^^**^*^*^*^*
Warren smiled at her, his dazzlingly blue eyes shining merrily. All of a sudden her knees grew weak.
"Hi.."
"Hello. The professor said you may need a bit of company."
*^*^^^*^*^*^^*^**^*^*
Amara: Where do I pick out THAT order form?!?
Jubilee: To heck with the order form! Where's the shipping?
Lance: What are you two talking about?!
Amara: Isn't it obvious, peasant? We are using euphemisms to crack bad jokes about getting cute guys!
Lance:………peasants don't understand these things.
*^**^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*
It was a wonderful morning. They watched a little television, and then decided to take a long walk in the snow.
*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^**^*^*^
Pietro: And after about two minutes they got stuck and had to find some shelter. :)
Wanda: After two minutes I'd think they'd be able to find their way back.
Pietro: Not if they didn't want the shelter to be at the institute.
Warren: What are you saying? Are you insulting my nobility?
Rogue: Do you want to go for a nice long walk Warren?
^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
The snow fell like crystal dewdrops-
*^^**^^**^*^*^*^^**^^*^
Hank: In a way, they are crystal dewdrops.
Beck: I'm trying to be poetic here. DO YOU MIND?
*^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^^**^
-that floated and meandered in the air before dropping silently to the ground.
It was like a pristine wonderland.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Jean:*sneaking up on authoress* It's time for revenge…
*^*^*^*^*^*^*
" Rogue."
Rogue turned to look at Warren. "Yes?"
"What would you say if I told you I loved Jean?"
*^*^^^*^*^**^*^*^*^^*
Rogue: WHAT!???????? *looks to see Beck struggling to get keyboard out of grasp of Jean.*
Beck: Unhand my writing utensil you foul censor!
Jean: No! I want my revenge!
Dexroth: We can't leave her alone anymore.
Doggy: Woof?
Woof: Doggy?
Dexroth: What the?!? *poof* *Woof turns into Jason*
Jason: Nihahahah!
Dex and Doggy: *twitch*
Beck: *bites Jean on the wrist*
Jean: OWWWWWWWWWWW! *lets go of keyboard*
Beck: *runs off* Victory is mine!
Jean: Does this look infected to you guys?
Dex, Jason, and Doggy:…………….
*^^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
" Rogue."
Rogue turned to look at Warren. "Yes?"
"What would you say if I told you a truly liked someone?"
"Ah doahn't know. Maybe you should tell em or something." She felt her heart drop into a vast pit of despair. He loved someone else…
*^*^*^*^**^*^*^*^
Rogue: How is this any better than LAST TIME?
Jean: Last time she didn't see the light!
Rogue: Gosh! You know Jean, I heard if you get bit by Authoresses, you contract awful disfiguring diseases.
Jean: Oh No! Like what?
Rogue: Red hair, a perfectionist complex…..Oh NO! Jean, you've been infected!
Jean: NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Dexroth:….they are a gullible species.
*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^
"I like you very much Rogue."
Rogue's head snapped up to look at him. With the snow falling around them, he could not have looked more angelic or handsome.
"In fact, I think it may go deeper than that, but I haven't had the time to be with you enough to be sure."
He leaned in closer to her. "Would you like to come back with me? To New York?"
*^**^*^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Rogue: BECK!!!!!!!
Beck: Yes?
Rogue: Mahke me touchable!
Beck: You can already be touched. What more do you want?
Rogue: I want a kiss! A kiss that doesn't involve cloth between my lips and theirs!
Warren: *sniffle* This is so dramatic…
Beck:….You think I'd put you and Angel boy there in a fic and wouldn't let you kiss?
Rogue: You will? YESS!!!!!!!!!!!
*^*^^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^
She felt her heart quicken as he leaned down to give her a kiss. He couldn't. Her cursed skin made it taboo. But it felt like there was stone weights all over her body.
A sort of electricity passed through them both when their lips touched. And when they stopped the kiss, both of them parted reluctantly away.
She gazed up into his eyes.
"You're okay."
"Let's not dwell on something that has no bearing on us anymore."
He smiled and offered him her arm, and they walked back to the institute, with both filled with dreams of the future.
**^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^
Rogue: …I have this strange feeling.
Dexroth: Is it characterized by a warm feeling and a positive attitude?
Rogue: Oddly enough, yes.
Dexroth: It's called happiness.
Rogue: Warren! *runs off*
Beck: Another job well done.
Pietro: You should write another one about me.
Dexroth: You already have a couple chapters. *Warren flies by*
Warren: I made no such agreement!
Rogue: Yes you did! You're gonna take me to New York to spend some time with me!
Beck: Sheesh. Make the Goth happy and she chases strange flying men. Who knew?
*^^*^*^**^^*^**^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Well, Another chapter. I must really be n a roll, hunh?
