Yey, mostly this is just pure fun, all the things I would do if I could, *sigh*

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Scott drank the orange juice and quickly put it in the sink.

" If anyone wants a ride to school come now!" He yelled.

" Oh my God!!!" Kitty's voice rang out.

" What's the matter?" Scott asked.

" Rogue, she's gone! Gone! All her stuff is gone!" Kitty panicked.

" Don't worry about it, she's probably at a friend's house. Being her it would be just like her to put us all in a scare." Jean said.

" But-"Just get in the car!!!" Jean snapped.

" Don't vorry (worry), my sweister ( sister) can take care of herself. Ve'll see her at school." Kurt consoled Kitty while he was inwardly frightened.

Rogue yawned and Wanda chuckled. Math, why was she here again? Oh! Because education was good for some reason.

The bell rung and it was time for a break!

" Yes! Finally got out of there." Wanda yawned.

" Yeah, Ah know it's math but why do we have ta learn so much of it? It's not like we're going to use it anyway." Rogue said.

" Took the words right outta my mouth." Pyro said and walked up next to Rogue.

" Me? I don't really like math. Don' seem worth it." Gambit said.

Piotr chose to walk next to Wanda, his head was bowed down bashfully.

" Ah know, it never does." Rogue said.

They all took secluded seats on the bleachers watching the others play sports.

" Hey, let's do something, I'm tired of being here. Let's go burn something, maybe the principal's office?" Pyro suggested.

" What's with you and burning stuff?" Piotr asked.

" Oh come on, burning stuff is fun, you'll like it, soon you'll be begging me for some matches!" Pyro said and Gambit coughed rather too loudly.

Rogue played with her bracelet and smiled at the others, until she felt a tap on her shoulder. Turning around she saw Duncan and a couple of his lackeys.

" What do you want?" Rogue asked him.

" Actually, the question is, what do you want?" Duncan asked.

" Meaning?" Rogue cocked an eyebrow.

" Me and some friends of mine are going out to this party held by one of the cheerleaders, Lucy Brown, I was wondering if you would like to go out with me?" Duncan asked.

" Ain't you going out with Jean Grey?" Rogue asked curiously.

" Well yeah, but things can be arranged."

Rogue smiled and leaned forward and whispered softly so that only he could hear, " No way."

" Is this ediot bothering you?" Pyro asked Rogue suddenly.

Duncan looked at her angrily and then at Pyro.

" Who do you think you are?" Duncan asked him.

Pyro smiled and flicked on and off his lighter, slowly getting up.

" That's none of your business, mate." He said.

" Pyro, don't use your powers, we don't need a scene." Rogue whispered.

Pyro looked disappointed and then closed the lighter again.

" That's alright, I'll just beat 'im down the old fashioned way." Pyro said with a grin.

Rogue shrugged and smiled. Wanda snorted and Gambit and Piotr smiled knowingly. Duncan was about to get whooped.

" Duncan no! Just don't, not today." Jean said and stopped him from ramming his fist into Pyro's face.

Duncan nodded in agreement and then glanced at her and then Rogue before he left. Jean turned towards Pyro with narrowed eyes.

" I don't know who you are but you shouldn't be getting into fights so easily." Jean snapped.

Rogue rolled her eyes. Jean the almighty goody two shoes was interferring with what could have been a good fight ( because it would have been good to see someone beat up Duncan of course.)

Pyro laughed at her and then snapped back on his lighter.

" And why is that grandmama?" He joked.

" Duncan and his friends are very influential around here, you mess with one of them, you might have a problem on your hands." Jean replied.

Scott and the others ( including Kitty, Kurt and Evan) ran over to make sure Jean was alright.

" Are you okay? What happened?" Scott asked.

" Duncan was just about to get into another fight, that's all." She replied.

" And are dear favorite Jean just had to stop them." Wanda scoffed, Rogue laughed.

" Hey, don't laugh at her!" Scott yelled.

" Why not? We ain't got nothin' else ta do, besides, Pyro was about ta beat 'er little boyfriend up anyhow." Rogue snapped at him.

" Rogue?" Scott asked.

" I told you it would take more than five minutes for anyone to recognize me. Pay up." Rogue said Wanda rolled her eyes and coughed up the cash.

" Who the bloody hell is that?" Pyro asked.

" Her old leader, if he gets too frisky we might have to hurt him." Wanda said with a grin leaning on Piotr.

" Ah, Scotty what is it that you want?" Rogue asked sarcastically.

Scott looked her over dumbfounded for a moment until Pyro piped up, " Hey, do you have something to say to her or are you going to stare at her all day?"

" Umm- Rogue you look..I mean, where did you go? You never came back." Scott said.

" You never came back, poor bloke sounds horrible. Didja dump 'im or something? If ya did I don't blame ya." Pyro said with a smile.

"Here, here!" Gambit chimmed in and raised his hand.

" Well, first I don't have to explain anything to you anymore. You don't own me." Rogue said with a smirk.

" But we do deserve an explanation." Scott continued.

" No explanation needed, I told you she'd betray us." Jean said.

" Do you here this woman? ' I told you she'd betray us' what was I in anyway? An occult?" Rogue asked with a snort.

" Rogue, like, we missed you! We still think you're are friend even if you did leave the Institute." Kitty said with a smile.

" The Institute? What were you a bloody orphaned delinquent?" Pyro asked.

Rogue laughed and smiled at Kitty and Kurt.

" You guys, meet Kitty and my brother Kurt, the other ones are of no concern." Rogue said slyly and waved her hand for emphasis.

Gambit gave his head a slight not at Kurt and winked at Kitty. Pyro gave them both a toothy grin and Wanda and Piotr just stared at them ( Wanda rather bitterly.)

" Rogue, oh-my-God!!! You look so gorgeous! You must be one of the hot new Goths everyone's talking about." Kitty said.

" How did you deal with this girl?" Wanda whispered.

Rogue grinned.

" Vhy ( why) didn't you call? I vas ( was) vorried (worried) !!" Kurt asked.

" Hey, look, he's german." Pyro said.

" Well duh." Rogue said with a smile and shoved Pyro playfully.

Jean looked at them all with some disgust, while Scott was still staring at Rogue.

"RRRRIIIIIINNG!!"

" Aw, see, we waisted our break time just by talking to those losers.
We could've been burning somethin'."

" Oh well, oh, and Jean! We'll see you at the party!!" Rogue called
out and smiled at Jean's red face.
