Okay... I'm back by popular demand blushes . I kinda' didn't want to write more, but, I am obviously easily swayed by flattery (so much for German stubbornness) so here goes...
I'm making this up as I go, folks, as I have no idea what I'm gonna' write. I'll try to give it some continuity, but, alas, my mind works in mysterious ways.
Also, I noticed in 'Turn of the Rogue' that Rogue can control Scott's powers (ah, the irony) so she can open her eyes, without killing everyone. Which is nice, because running around in the dark blind wouldn't be so fun. :-)
Rogue burst into the room she shared with Kitty, tears running down her cheeks. Kitty sat bolt upright, and glared at Rogue. "Like, what's the big deal, Rogue?"
"Scott uh- fainted! He's downstairs!"
"He what? Why?"
"Uh..." Rogue couldn't think of an answer, so she just grabbed Kitty's arm and pulled her out of bed. "Wha does it matter?" Rogue pulled Kitty out of the room, other students were starting to come out of their rooms, all looking very sleepy.
"Vhere's the fire?" Asked a very tired looking Kurt.
"No, fire, Kurt. Rogue says that Scott, like, fainted!"
Jean came out of her room, looking annoyed. "Fainted?! What do you mean he fainted!" Jean glared daggers at Rogue. If looks could kill Rogue thought bitterly to herself.
Please everyone, return to bed. Scott is fine. Professor Xavier's voice sounded in all their heads, everyone visibly relaxed, and most returned to bed grumbling about being woken up for no reason. Rogue, Jean and Kitty, however stayed in the hallway. Kitty and Jean were both looking at Rogue; the difference was, Jean looked like ready to murder her, and Kitty looked confused, and maybe worried. Rogue looked at the ground, not saying anything, and desperately wishing that she had the power to be invisible.
"What did you do, Rogue?" Jean asked very quietly, her terse voice carried through the hallway.
Kitty looked at Jean, and back to Rogue. "Rogue didn't, like, do anything, Jean. Why would she hurt Scott?"
"Ah- uhl- oh, never mind." Rogue sighed and turned back into her room, but found herself rooted to the spot. "Let go of me, Jean."
"I want to know what happened."
"Nothin' happened, Jean. Ah didn' do anything."
"You can't expect me to believe-"
"Jean, let her go." As Professor X said this Rogue found herself able to move again, and, not expecting this, stumbled backwards. Kitty caught her, and helped her right herself, looking confused. "Scott is fine, but I asked him to remain downstairs. I think you should all return to bed." He looked at Rogue. "We can discuss this in the morning."
"Okay, Professor." Jean said, flashing a perfect smile and going back into her room.
Rogue nodded, and she and Kitty walked back into their room, closing the door behind them. Rogue climbed wearily into bed, but Kitty didn't look ready to go back to sleep. "Rogue what, like, happened?"
"Ah- ah- ah sorta' well, um..."
"What?"
"Kissed him." Kitty squealed, and Rogue recoiled slightly at the sound. "Kitty be quiet. Besides, it's not like it was a good thing."
"Sure it was."
"Yea, every kiss should end up wit' someone unconscious on the floor." Rogue said sarcastically.
"Oh... right. Well, it's not that bad, I mean, he's okay."
"Sure." Rogue said this with a finality that even Kitty understood.
Kitty fell asleep quickly, but Rogue lay there, staring at the wall. She tried to sift through the jumble of memories she had absorbed for some trace of feeling. She tried to find anything more than platonic feelings for her in his thoughts... but all she found was Jean.
Ah! cries sorry that wasn't very happy. More will come when inspiration hits me. Okay, yes, I had to stay true to Scott's character and have him only think of Rogue as a friend. I shall now attempt individual replies
Sevish: yay, 'Finding Nemo'!! I love that movie, especially Dory. And, I must admit that you were a main contributor to Chapter 5, you're very persuasive/perseverant :-) (to previous comment) and Rogue will have revenge. I think Shampoo and Krazy Glue look a lot alike, don't you? evil grin
Anime Addicted: I like to think that Rogue really does have guts
Frickin'EvilPotart: I love your name!! And thank you, you're so sweet! Please don't send your monkey of doom on me! I have given you another chapter! offers it up plaintively
Hutchy: I didn't leave it at that! Hehe
Dark Jaded Rose: thank you so much!! Hope you didn't get too tired of waiting
Lyranfan: I am continuing this, and thanks for the idea about looking through his memories, it's a nice way to get out of having to have that extremely painful conversation between the two of them.
