Wandering Souls

Chapter 12: Secrets, Movies & Food Part 1

Rogue quickly shut the door behind her, her face paler than usual. 'Ah can't believe Ah just told him Ah loved him.' She let out a small sigh before noticing the six pairs of eyes looking at her. "What?"

"We, like, heard what you said to Remy," Kitty beamed, trying to stifle her excitement.

Rogue let out a groan and threw down her bag, dropping ungracefully onto her bed with a loud flop.

"Oh come on Rogue, it's sweet don't you think?" Amara smiled sitting next to Rogue, leaning against her headboard.

"What was Ah thinkin!" Rogues muffed voice came from her pillow.

"Why?" Wanda asked flopping down at the foot of Rogues bed. "You care about the guy and you told him. What's the big deal?"

"Yeah, it, like, makes sense for you to tell him. And Remy's like, completely crazy about you," Kitty flopped onto the other side of Rogue, tucking her legs Indian style.

"But y'all don't understand," Rogue sighed, pulling herself up and leaning against the headboard, pulling Mr. Marbles closer to her and looking at her friends. "It ain't fair to him." Rogue explained looking back to her gloved hands. "And it ain't fair to meh. Sooner or later, he'll want a girl he can touch. And Ah can't share him," she spoke quietly.

The girls fell silent, contemplating their friends problem before Kitty spoke. "You know what we, like, totally need? Movies and junk food."

"Oh, hot guy movies?" Amara spoke up, her eyes glowing at the prospect.

"Totally, I, like, vote for Colin Farrell and The Recruit," Kitty agreed drooling slightly.

"Oh, Heath Ledger and 10 Things I Hate About You!" Amara chimed in a longing in her eyes. Everyone turned to stare at her. "What? I like the accent."

Wanda rolled her eyes before thinking hard, "Danny Masterson."

"OH MY GOD! YOU LIKE HYDE!" Kitty squealed, picturing the Goth watching That 70's Show.

"Shut up. He was hot in Dracula 2000 okay," Wanda blushed slightly before looking over at Rogue. "I bet I know what Rogue wants to watch," she taunted dodging the pillow Rogue sent flying at her head.

"Oooh are we watching Pitch Black again?" Kitty exclaimed laughing.

"Hey, can you blame her?" Amara said rising and pulling Rogue with her. "Vin Diesel is hot."

"Don't make meh drain ya Amara, he's mine," Rogue joked as she looked towards the others. "Do we need to go rent any of those?"

"Nah, we have them all," Kitty jumped up, pulling Wanda and linking their arms. "But lets go get some junk food before the guys eat it all. Come on," she grabbed Rogues arm and phased the four of them down into the kitchen.

Meanwhile…

Remy walked down the hall, his legs weak from Rogue's touch, and a smile playing on his lips. 'She loves me,' he thought as he opened the door to the room he shared wit the other boys, shutting it silently behind him. His ears were met with Kurt's rich German voice, drowning on about the rules of their room.

"Und finally, vhat ever you do," Kurt was perched on the desk, his image inducer off and his tail dangling idly off the corner. "Do not set mein fur on fire."

"Fine mate," John replied as he dumped his last bag onto his bed. "Just don't piss me off and I won't. But Scott's fair game right?"

"Definitely," Evan laughed as he finished clearing out a couple of drawers for John. He heard Remy enter and turned to look at him. "Hey Remy dude, what do you want me to do with all your cards?"

"Jus put dem on de bed mon ami," Remy replied, slipping off his trench coat and throwing it onto a nearby chair, the smile still plastered on his face.

"Someone's in a good mood," John observed taking out his lighter and igniting it. He cupped the fire in his hand and rolled it over his fingers like a marble. "Rogue must have been feeling nice."

Evan let out a loud laugh as he grabbed his Skateboard from the corner, balancing on the back wheels, nose in the air. "Details man! Don't leave us hanging!"

"Remy never kiss and tell," Remy laughed flopping down onto his bed, his read and black eyes dancing.

"Oh come on mate,' John laughed, snapping his fingers and extinguishing the flame in his hand. "That's half the fun!"

Remy rose up on his elbows and was about to speak when Kurt stopped him, his yellow eyes glowing fiercely as he ported off the desk and next to Remy's bed, leaning over and getting in the Cajun's face baring his fangs. "You hurt mein schwester and not even Logan vould be able to find to find vhat's left."

"Wow, easy Elf," Evan said jumping of the board and walking in between the two boys. "On ones gonna hurt Rogue. Especially not with you, Logan and my baby girl around okay."

"He's a player Evan, vhy should Rogue be any different?" Kurt growled, throwing his hands into the air. Remy and him were friends usually, but when it came to his family, he couldn't let anything happen to her.

Remy rose off the bed and looked Kurt directly in the eye. "I'd rather die den hurt her Kurt. She not be like de others. I love her," Remy stated solemnly, using the rare first person to emphasize his meaning.

Kurt regarded him for a moment before speaking. "Fine, but I have varned you. Now the rest ist up to you. But don't count on Logan to be as easily convinced," he offered his hand to Remy and the two shook, a mutual understanding being met that Kurt didn't like it, but he trusted Remy with his sisters heart. At least for now. Kurt turned his image inducer back on and headed for the door. "Vho else is hungry?"

"You're always hungry Kurt," Evan said replacing his board and heading for the door.

"Lead the way mate," John said moving to follow.

"Don't you wanna put your stuff away first man?" Evan asked indicating the pile of cloths and personal belongings that John had dumped onto his bed.

"It is away mate," john smiled as they left the room towards the kitchen.

Remy moved to follow, debating on taking his coat for a moment and then deciding against it, closing the door behind him as he followed the guys.

"Hurry up, before Keety beats us down there and takes everything good," Kurt whined as they headed for the stairs.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Piotr had been enjoying his book and tea when the girls phased through the ceiling and next to him, startling him.

"Oh, like, sorry Piotr," Kitty gushed as she let go of the girls and they all headed to different cabinets.

"It is alright," he mumbled as he went back to his book, having learned from dating Jubilee, to concentrate over the loud chatter.

"Oh, I want popcorn!"

"Just cause you can, like make it without the microwave Amara. You just wanna show off for John!"

"Do not! I really just want some."

"Do we have any chocolate? Ah need the sugah rush."

"Ooh, jackpot!" Wanda triumphantly pulled out several boxes of Little Debbie's treats from the cabinet she'd been foraging in. "Look, there's some of everything here!"

"Cool, put them in here," Kitty said handing her a bowl as Amara started the popcorn and Rogue started pulling out drinks.

"Someone should go get the other's," Amara said as she got out a bowl. "Jubilee loves movie night. So does Jean and Ms. Monroe, that is if Mr. Logan isn't detaining her." She tried to stifle a giggle but failed miserably.

"They are just too cute together," Kitty agreed. "Don't you think so Rogue?"

"Ah lahke her," Rogue commented as she poured the soda into some glasses. "Especially since she keeps dad off mah back."

"See, I told you ve should have ported down here!" Kurt yelled as he and the others entered the room. "Oh, look they found my cakes!" he pointed to the bowl Wanda held.

"Oh get over it Kurt!" Jubilee stated as she and Jean entered.

"We got your message," Jean said, taking out a tray for the drinks and food.

"Huh?" Wanda asked, confused by the girls sudden appearance and slightly embarrassed that Evan had seen her holding all that food.

"I, like, projected to Jean that we were having a movie night," Kitty explained taking the bowl from Wanda and putting it on the tray.

"Movies huh? Can anyone come watch?" John asked wrapping his arms around Amara as she poured the popcorn into her bowl, kissing her neck playfully. Amara just giggled, melting into his embrace.

"No, this is like to cheer up Ro…" Kitty felt Wanda step on her foot and she let out a yelp and thought fast. "Me. Cause I'm like all depressed cause Lance didn't love me enough to join the team," she hopped around a little, as she glared at Wanda.

Remy eyed them suspiciously and noticed that Rogue hadn't looked up from the drinks since they entered.

Jubilee, unaware of Rogues troubles, just sighed. "Get over it Kit. Besides, I want my Petey there," she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned over his shoulder kissing his cheek. "In case any of the movies get scary."

"Besides, it's our rec room too," Evan added, grabbing the milk from the refrigerator and pouring himself a glass, before wrapping his arm around Wanda's shoulders. "And you can't hog Wanda all night."

She blushed slightly and moved closer to him, so only he could notice, resting her hand on his chest and her head on his shoulder.

"Like fine, but only if Rogue says it's okay," Kitty said, emphasizing Rogues name for the other girls.

"It's fahne sugah," Rogue said, her voice devoid of emotion as she put the milk and soda back into the fridge.

"Well in that case, let me go ask Scott if he wants to come," Jean said heading towards the door.

"Great, let me help," Kurt offered taking the heavy tray.

"Cool, I'll go set up the movie," Kitty said heading towards the door. "We're watching Pitch Black first though."

Remy watched as the others left, Rogue hurrying to follow only to have his strong arms wrap around her waist. "You sit next to Remy non Cherie?" he whispered huskily into her ear, his breath tickling her neck.

"Whatevah," she replied pulling from his arms and heading towards the room, leaving Remy shocked and slightly hurt.

Authors Note: Yeah I know, she's being a bitch. But so am I so what are you going to do right? No, she's just struggling with her emotions right now which I'll go into more next chapter, but I'm really tired now and I knew if I didn't post something there would be people hunting for my head so this is just to tide you over. And yeah, if you can't tell out of all of them, Vin Diesel is defiantly the hottest. I also love Danny Masterson and Heath Ledger. Don't get me wrong, Colin Farrell is kinda a honey, but I'm just not as fond of him as Vin. Hehehe. Wish I owned him too, but I don't so anyway. Onto the shout outs.

Yumiko ~ Hope this makes up for the lack of moody Rogue last chapter. But I warn you, this is basic fluff so there will probably be more mush then mood. (But rest assured the bitchiness will still be there at times.)

cool-chick-rae ~ Claws can scare me at times, so thanks for putting them away. I debated the whole truth or dare thing, but that may just come later. I thought this could be fun too. Especially with the "that guy isn't that hot. I can control fire for gods sake!" Kinda conversations. So yeah, fun is yet to come. And I couldn't make it easy on Remy and Rogue. Where would my fun be in that? As always, thanks.

Ishandahalf ~ the crack bunny has arrived! As you can tell, I love Wanda. She's so cool and should really have more focus in my opinion. I really can't wait till I send them back to school and she can rub her and Evan's relationship in Pietro's face, but I'm getting ahead of myself. I know the Romyness is kinda lacking here, but don't worry, I will make up for it. Trust me.

Rose ~ Don't worry, this isn't the last we've seen of Rogue's mommy. I like that character and have other stories with her that I may post up later. She may make some kind of re-appearance yet. And Mystique wasn't alone in Rogue's kidnapping but more of that will come later. Right now I'm still working on getting everything established. I agree with you, Rogue is incredibly Powerful and will only become more so. Romy worship forever!

Rogue77 ~ Yeah, your review confused the hell out of me cause I have no idea what you're talking about. If you care to share anytime, feel free otherwise you're kinda stuck with a dazed and confused look from me. Thanks for the review though. I kinda lost track how many times you've said you loved my story but that's okay. I never get tired of hearing it.

Invader Zaifae ~ I'm glad you find my stuff is funny although I'm kinda sorry your homeroom things you're crazy. But so long as it was worth it right? I just couldn't let John get away with insulting Colossus. Just cause he's the strong silent type doesn't mean he has to take it. I don't know how I come up with it, I guess it's just cause I'm a smart ass. Thanks for the review and I hope you enjoyed this chapter too.

VIcKy101 ~ It would and will brighten my day too. Don't get me wrong for all you Pietro worshipers out there, he's fine but he just bugs the hell out of me sometimes. He's just so spineless. But that's just my opinion. So naturally, Wanda's gonna piss him off by rubbing his nose in her and Evan's relationship. And plus, like I told Ishandahalf, Wanda's just cool. Thanks for the reviews. I enjoy hearing them.

Gifted Empress ~ I can't say this enough today. WANDA KICKS ASS! Almost, but not quite, as much as Rogue does. Thanks for the review, and I agree whole heartedly. There should be more Wanda involved fics out there.

And to all my other reviewers, especially those who review regularly, that I didn't get a chance to answer to, I'm sorry. But tired. Very tired. Thank you all for your support. It means a lot and keeps me going. Bye for now.
