A/N

Another update! Hope you all don't mind the wait, I've been having an ongoing duel with my computer, who believes it should keep giving me Not Found pictures for the internet. And on a side note…the fiftieth chapter! CFTC pins for everybody!

Rocking Rogex

Rogue: Another one of me? What is your problem?

Beck: You have just about the corner market on pairings. I can't walk without stepping on a pairing with you and somebody, so don't blame me. Blame the standards.

Dexroth: But I thought you weren't the standard model.

Beck: I'm not, but Rogue is.

Rogue: I am not!

Alex: Dude, that title rocks!

Scott: Get out! I told you never to come here again!

Alex: I'm a teenager, I can go where I want!

Scott: NO! this is not the time to become rebellious!

It was painful for her to admit that she couldn't have her one heart's desire. But then again, she was the Rogue, and her true desires were always out of reach.

Rogue: It's true! My life is pathetic, I'll never have what I want!

Rahne: Angst puppy. Not even Kurt is as bad as you are, and he can be really bad.

Amara: How did they get that bad in the first place?

Destiny: I told Mystique this would happen. Angst is in her genes, that's why she's blue all of the time, I told her…

Rahne: Wow, you even foresaw that they would be total depressionists?

Amara: Is that a word?

Destiny: Of course. Besides, look at their mother, she's not a little ray of sunshine either.

But still, to see him in the arms of the woman she never wanted him to have…sometimes it was too hard to bear.

Amara: Again with the bears.

Beck: Okay, I realize that you are a princess and all, but would it kill you to actually pay attention to the stories?

Amara: No, but if the story is not about me, then it is hardly worth reading.

Beck: So, I take it the one thing your country loves you most for is humility, right?

But now she had to understand that fact. He was beyond her now.

Jean: Damn Skippy.

Beck: Oh, you guessed part of the plot?

Jean: It wasn't hard.

Beck: Only because you're psychic.

Jean: Don't bet on it.

Scott Summers would always love Jean Grey.

And that left Rogue out entirely.

Remy: Except for Remy.

Piotr: You don't appear to be showing up anywhere, friend.

Remy: Give it time.

Lance: You did read the title, right?

Remy: Don' matter what de title say. In the end, no matter what de write, Remy git de femme.

Pietro: Un hunh. Right. Everybody knows the ladies are into the speedster.

Remy: Gambit git more ladies den you.

Pietro: As if. Ibeatyouinthatcategory.

Toad: I could get lots of girls too!

Lance: Don't hold your breath.

But compromise was in her genes.

Mystique: It was not. That was added afterwards.

Rogue: EXCUSE ME?!

Mystique: Err…nevermind.

And sometimes, one had to settle for second best. And Alex Summers was the next best thing.

Alex: This sucks. I can't believe I didn't finish first!

Dexroth: Story of some people's lives I guess. Well, not mine, but you get the idea.

Alex: You aren't making me feel better.

Dexroth: Oh really? I didn't realize that was my purpose in life, please accept my heartfelt apology.

Magneto: I don't believe you have a heart.

Dexroth: Oh, you're back? I do too have a heart.

Magneto: Then how do you explain that I was trapped in my mansion after someone glued all of the doors shut?

Dexroth: Moment of weakness?

Someday he would find out. That he wasn't the one she truly desired. That every time she said 'I love you' she envisioned someone else, someone she couldn't have.

Jubilee: Actually, the chance of that really isn't great.

Rahne: What do you mean?

Jubilee: Have you ever talked to Alex? He's not exactly a brain surgeon.

Rahne: Neither are you.

Jubilee: Yeah, but I could be an assistant. He'd be the patient.

Even as she watched him walk beside her, always smiling, happy in her presence, she imagined someone else. And when he said those three little words, she still tried to believe they came from Him.

Wanda: I have to say I'm impressed. You actually have a semi-decent plot.

Beck: Thank you, that means a lot coming from you.

Wanda: Don't thank me yet. You still have time to screw it up.

Beck: gee…Thank you, Mistress of Optimism.

And she smiled and returned them.

"I love you."

Alex: I demand a rewrite.

Dexroth: Sorry, no refunds.

Alex: But this is so wrong! I should be the object of every girl's desire and they should love me! Not use me as the next best thing!

Kurt: The world is full of the used. Believe me, I know!

Kitty: Like, what got you in a blue funk?

Hank: What? Oh sorry, I though I heard someone address me. Never mind.

Alex: I want a story in which someone loves me for me!

Lance: Don't we all.

Alex: Revolution!

Dexroth: I think not. There will be no revolts today.

Alex: You can't stop me!

Magneto: Why am I feeling this odd feeling of déjà vu?

Dexroth: Do you really want to let this play out?

Alex: Yea—

Scott:No, he's going back to surf.

Alex: What? Oh dude! The waves I totally forgot! Can I take a raincheck on revolting?

Dexroth: Sure. (mutters) you'll forget about this in two hours anyway, save me trouble.

Thank you all for your reviews of last chapter!

Realm9: But that would take all the fun out of it, if I recycle title. I'll just use titles that don't pertain to love. Hmm, I hope Dex knows she's after him. It would make the chase more difficult…Hope you like this chapter!

Crimson Lipstick: Heh, I've had people ask me that before. Yes, I do have a Romy, but it's on Regue. I believe. I like to change up character names. Glad to hear you like it!

Peace215: Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked it so much! And I' very glad you stuck with me even though I didn't update for a long time! Hope you like this chapter!

Chaotic Boredom: Thank you for allowing it too slide, 'twas much appreciated. That's alright, as long as you enjoy it, non? Hope you like this one too!

Pyro Tsunami: Heh, sorry, didn't mean to make you ill. Just be glad I don't go indepth, hunh? Sam and Ray? I don't see why not, he's on my list, I should be getting around to him anytime.

PrincessofWildfire: Thanks. Hope you like this one too.

Ruby: Heh, I have an entire list, and I promise I'll get to that pairing sometime in the near, though semi-distant future.

Lunarious: Thank you for reviewing, and I certainly hope you do read this chapter and like it.

Please leave your reviews!
