Jean walk tiredly though the empty hallway. She had been up all night studying for her state constitution test. The only thoughts running though her mind were: 'sleep … bed … why the Hell do I have to take this stupid test again this year?' But as she pressed the up button next to the elevator door, she noticed Gambit's room.

'Oh right, I was supposed to find out what's up." She thought.

Jean looked to the elevator then looked back at Gambit's door. She sighed and walked up to it.

She knocked twice on the door and waited for a response. However she got none. She tried knocking again but still no reply.

"Gambit?" She called, hoping he'd hear her, "Gambit are you in there?"

She put her hand on the smooth handle and noticed it wasn't locked. She opened the door slightly and peered inside.

His room was completely dark. The shades had been pulled down all the way and all the lights were turned off. She took a step inside and noticed that his trench coat was lying over the chair at his desk.

"Gambit?" She whispered.

As if on cue, the door slammed shut. Jean ran to it and tried to open it but the door was locked. But Jean remained oblivious to the presence standing behind her. His eyes began to glow red.

Just then, the lights clicked on. Jean turn around and almost screamed, "Gambit! Don't scare me like that!"

Gambit was leaning against the wall behind her. A sly smiled pulled at his lips and he began to laugh, "You shoulda seen the look on yer face, mon amis!" He laughed.

Jean sighed, "That wasn't funny Gambit."

"According to whom?" He teased

"Shut up." She couldn't help but smile.

"Akay, akay. So, wut's up?" He grinned.

Jean took a deep breath, "Well, I just wanted to say that um, well, I was talking to your friend John the other day and well, we're beginning to worry about you Gambit. You've been acting so secretive lately and you haven't been talking to anyone. I just wanted to see if you were okay."

Gambit folded his arms across his chest, "Well, Ah ahsure you, Remy be fine, kay?"

Jean concentrated hard and tried to enter Gambit's mind, but something was blocking her. She couldn't get through. Then she saw it. Her pupils went small and she slowly backed away from Gambit.

He starred at her, "Jean? Y'akay?"

Jean nodded slowly, "Uh, yeah, yeah I'm fine. But if you'll excuse me, I have to go study for the test."

Gambit eyed her suspiciously then nodded.

Jean left the room and ran back down the hallway.

Gambit's eyes slowly began to glisten.

"You're next, mon amis."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Jean went up two floors, to the girl rooms and went straight to Rogue. She had stopped off and told Pyro everything and he went with her to go tell Rogue. It was only fair for her to know. Jean told her everything that had happened with Gambit, including when she had tried to get inside his mind.

"What did you see?"

Jean bit her lip, "I saw Mesmero."

"What?" Rogue exclaimed, "Yer joking right?"

Pyro shook his head, "I'm 'fraid she ain't joking, mate."

Rogue starred at the two in disbelief, "But…but how?"

"I don't know." Jean said, "But I'll bet that's why Xavier couldn't find Gambit with Cerebro. Because Mesmero works for apocalypse and now Gambit, well…"

Rogue couldn't belief what she was hearing. She didn't want to believe it, "Shut up! The both a you! Remy's not workin fer Mesmero! So jus shut up!"

"Rogue, I know this is hard for to comprehend, but it's the truth."

Rogue sat down on her bed, defeated and stared, "But…whay? Whay would'y do sumthin like this?"

Jean sighed and sat down next to her, "I don't know Rouge, I really don't don't."

"Should weh tell Xavier?" Pyro asked.

Jean looked to the floor, "I think we should. But…"

"NO! Don't yeh dare tell him! Ah'll find out wut's goin on. He'll talk to meh. Ah kno he wil!"

"Sorreh the disappoint ya, but, I'm 'is best friend and he didn't tell meh nuttin." Pyro told her.

Rogue got up and began to walk out of the room, "A'll find out wut's goin on. Even if Ah have to drain his memories." And with that, she slammed the door shut, obviously forgetting that was her room, and stormed off to find Gambit.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
