"Non. You go, Remy will stay. If you want someone to go wif you, how 'bout asking Kitty? She loves the mall! And besides, Rogue should be arriving any minute now." Stated Remy firmly, as he declined the offer to go the mall, for what seemed like the thousandth time, with Jean.
"Come on Remy. You said yourself that Rogue wasn't going to be here till 5! It's noon! And when were at the mall, you could probably pick something up for her!" stated Jean somewhat desperately. In order for her plan to work, Remy had to be gone when Rogue arrived. "Unless you already have something." She added slyly, knowing for a fact that he had nothing for his supposed love.
"Well, I don't know, chere..." Remy hesitated. He knew he shouldn't. If Rogue found out he went out with Jean, on the day she was supposed to arrive no less, there would be trouble.
'Come on Remy! Don't be so pussy whipped!' Jean thought to herself, even as she perfected her innocent smile and said "Come on Remy! Your not sill nervous around me, are you? It happened 6 years ago! Let bygones be bygones!"
"Remy still don't know, peitie. How 'bout we get Kitty, Kurt and St. John to come. They'll probably want to get her something too." He stated hesitantly. He didn't like being alone with Jean. It made him feel like he was betraying his chere all over again. And this way they could all get something for Rogue and her friends.
He couldn't believe it! A whole week with Rogue! And! She'd be staying at the institute! Not at some crappy motel room. She'd be sleeping in the same house with him, and if he played his cards right, in the same bed. Nothing sexual, although he wouldn't say no to that, he just wanted to be able to hold his chere whilst she slept. That was one of the hardest things that he'd let go of, when they thought she was dead. That he'd never be able to hold her again. Never be able to smell her. Her natural cinnamon, mixing with the apple perfume she put on...
"Fine, lets go ask them." Jean said, effectively snapping Remy out of his trance.
'Perfect! With Logan, Storm, Beast, and the Professor gone on a mission, and all the other brats in this place gone home for winter break, the only people left ARE me, Remy, Kitty, Kurt and St. John! When Rogue gets here, no one will be here and then, with any luck, she'll get the hint that we don't want her here!' Jean though malevolently to herself.
"Hey you guys, you want to go shopping for Rogue?" she said out loud when she reached the kitchen, where the people in contemplation were all conveniently gathered.
"Umm, I don't, like, think that's such a good idea. I mean, Rogue is, like, going to be here soon." Stated Kitty. She had never gotten over the fact that Jean had done that to Rogue. Sure the two fought, but come on! To stoop to sleeping with your enemies boyfriend! That was just plain wrong!
"I agree wiv Ketty. Vogue should be here very soon." Kurt said, sounding just as uncomfortable. Jean hated Rogue. That was a fact. Why would Jean want to do something nice for Rogue, let alone spend money on her. Something wasn't right.
"Who's this Rogue Sheila?" asked St. John. Oh, he knew who they were talking about, but he also knew that 'Rogue' preferred to go by Ria these days, and that Jean hated that name with an fiery passion. Almost as much as he loved his fire. And while most people new not to play with fire, he happened to be the one person not afraid. Also, he really didn't like Jean, so finding little ways to piss her off was always fun.
"I meant Ria." Jean gritted out. Ever since the fire obsessed Auzzy had become suspicious of her 'mind dropping' he'd managed to find millions of ways to piss her off, seemingly without trying. And, to top it off, he had somehow managed to find a way to block her off telepathically. Either that, or he simply didn't think around her, which was absurd...nobody can just STOP thinking....well...not that she new of anyways.
"Sorry, chere, we tried." Remy said, trying, without success, to infuse disappointment into his voice.
"Come on people. Rogu..Ria, will be here in five hours. We go to the mall, pick her up a gift, come home, make dinner. That takes what, two hours tops! We have plenty of time!" Jean persuaded.
Not being able to find a flaw with her logic they all reluctantly nodded their heads.
"On one condition, petite." Remy sated, before they had even left the kitchen. "And what would that be, Remy?" Jean said, trying to keep the exasperation from her voice.
"We HAVE to be back before mon chere gets here!" Remy said, his voice firm. No way was he going to let his chere come here to an empty house...mansion.
The rest of the people agreed whole heartedly to this, while Jean who had no intentions of that letting that happen plastered a fake smile on her face and nodded her consent, adding with a sugary sweet voice
"No, we couldn't have that, could we?"
And with that, they were off to the mall.
-5 HOURS LATER-
-ON A STREET-
"Oh man! I can't, like, believe our tire blew out!! And no one brought there phones!" Kitty cried. After they had decided to go to the mall, Jean had told them of this 'great new place' that was 'just a little bit out of town'. Ya right. Try 25 miles out of town. Unfortunately, Jean had been driving, seeing as she was the only person who knew where this place was, and the rest of the passengers had been off in there own little worlds. When Remy finally snapped out of his daze long enough to notice where he was, it was too late, they were already too far gone. By the time the got where ever it was they were going, got their gifts, and got back, it would be nearly 4:30. And that had been if nothing bad had happened. Of course, the tire had 'inconspicuously' blown off the rim, and now they were stuck on the side of the road, with Jean as there only means of getting a message to anyone. And even if she did, which they all doubted, who would listen to a voice in there heads? No one. So they were stuck. And Ria would be arriving for a week stay at a mansion with no one to greet her. Things weren't looking good.
Just then it started to rain.
Things weren't looking good at all.
