Disclaimer- Don't own nuthin
A/N: - Thanks to everyone who reviewed. From the majority of Reviews from
the last chapter I am guessing that a lot of people don't like to see Remy
unhappy. I don't like to either but since Rogue is my favourite character
this chapter was very hard to write as I would have to make Rogue loose her
dignity I was quite unwilling to write something like this. Needless to say
it was a friend who came up with this idea in the first place. This is
because she is evil and she is a big Gambit fan.
Chapter 6
"And I must confess That my loneliness Is Killing me now...."
Rogue groaned. She was pretty sure that Dan the bloody annoying Man and his cheesy music was the only Radio station they got in the Institute and although normally his music selection was crap, this morning's choice was of the crappier variety.
Britney Spears.
Surely music like that should be illegal. Or if you couldn't put a total veto on it then so could it at least be banned in the mornings. Rogue was not a morning person and the last thing ya wanna hear when ya don't feel like getting up is perky cheerful people talking about how great life is. This wasn't fair. Rogue already had to deal with Kitty in the mornings but now Britney Spears. What had she done to deserve this?
Then she remembered.
She had been a total bitch to Remy. She had basically told him that he meant nothing to her and she had got him danger room sessions for the rest of the year. If she didn't know him better she would have thought that Remy might have specially requested it for her as payback. Or he might have just requested it for himself. Having both dated and drained Remy, Rogue knew that he was a Britney fan (a secret he told no one) and even though Remy had assured her it was because of her assets (A/N *cough*breasts) Rogue was sure he actually did like her music.
Dragging herself out of bed and pulling on whatever clothes she could find that hadn't been tossed on the floor and looked relatively clean and made her way downstairs. She couldn't be bothered spending another 1/2 hour putting on her make up but normally her death glare still prevented anyone from coming within a 5- mile radius of her.
However today that did not seem to be the case as Kitty Pride came bounding up to her. Rogue sighed. In the morning Kitty's voice was like nails on a blackboard and with all the likes and totallys it was like Kitty was talking a different language.
"So Rogue, everyone has been like totally talking about what happened between you and Remy."
Rogue glared at the girl.
"Really?" Rogue replied through clenched teeth, "what exactly have they been saying?"
"Oh you know that Remy through himself at ya and ya did your whole *Rogue* thing?"
"What's that supposed ta mean?" Rogue replied coldly.
"Well it means you like did your whole stay away from me thingy."
"Ah do not have a stay away from me thingy." She paused and looked around her noticing no one within a 50 ft radius of her. "OK so maybe Ah do but it's for their own protection."
"Yeah but why did ya do it ta Remy. I mean we all heard about Mr Logan's bed check. I pretty sure that ya have some control over your powers by now."
"Boy word travels fast don't it," Rogue growled, "look Kittycat are ya here for any purpose other than ta piss me off?"
"Actually yes I'm here to help you."
Rogue snorted, "Sorrah ta burst yer bubble sugah but Ah don't need yer help."
"Yes ya do. You want Remy back and I'm here to help you with that."
"An how exactly are ya gonna do that?"
"Well it's not really about what I'm gonna do it's more about what you are gonna do. You've hurt Remy. You've embarrassed him. In the word of Cameron in "10 things I hate about you" you have to 'Sacrifice yourself on the altar of dignity and even the score.'"
"Kittycat....ya watch way to many movies."
"I'm like serious Rogue. It hurts me to see you this way."
"What way?" said Rogue glaring.
"Oh ya know all like bad moody and glary."
"Ah am not bad moody Kitty. Ah'm...just not a morning person"
Kitty's ponytail shook from side to side like a windscreen wiper. "Denial! Denial! Denial!" she exclaimed, "De Nile ain't just a river in Egypt ya know Rogue."
Rogue rolled her eyes "So ah've heard. Look Kitty do ya have a plan at all?"
"Just one," the young girl replied.
*************************************************
Rogue was pissed off.
She had basically missed for her danger room session with Wolvie. She was going to have to face Remy and she hated Kitty's plan. Unfortunately it was the only one she had. In fact she thought it was the only one that Kitty had as well because she had already told Remy to do the same thing a couple days ago. Slowly walking to the danger room dressed in a school uniform (which Kitty had insisted was vital in order to play the part) and getting the strange looks off the guys in the mansion, Rogue was starting to get that feeling that you get when your nervous, you know the one you get that feels like your stomach is being sucked through a straw. And as she open the danger room door she felt like an elephant was using he stomach as a bouncy castle. She quickly glanced up to the control box to check that Kitty was there as she was vital for her plan.
Logan's back was turned as she entered the room, "Your late," he growled as she stepped further into the room. He didn't like people being late for his sessions.... well he didn't really like people in general but that was a different matter.
Rogue grimaced and rolled her eyes as Remy looked quizzically at her as if trying not to laugh. He failed however and started rolling around laughing at the image in front of him. This of course made Wolvie turn around and then
"WHAT THE HELL AREYOU WEARING???"
Kitty of course took this as her cue and started the music. Soon Britney Spear flooded through the Danger Room. Rogue closed her eyes knowing that in 3 minutes 30 seconds this would all be over. With this knowledge she did her best Kitty impression with a fake smile and a flick of the hair , she started to sing along to Britney Spears while Remy stood grinning like the Cheshire cat while wishing for a video camera and Wolvie stood too shocked to say anything.
"Oh baby,baby
How was Ah supposed to know
That something wasn't right here
Oh baby, baby
Ah shouldn't have you go
And now yer out of sight, yeah
Show me how you want it to be
Tell me baby cause Ah need to know now,
oh because
Ma loneliness is killing me (and Ah)
Ah must confess Ah still believe (still believe)
When I'm not with you Ah lose my mind
give me a sign
hit me baby one more time
Oh baby, baby
The reason Ah breathe is you
Boy you got me blinded
Oh pretty baby
there's nothing that Ah wouldn't do
thats not the way Ah planned it
Show me how you want it to be
tell me baby cause Ah need to know now
oh because
Oh baby, baby how was Ah supposed to know
oh pretty baby, Ah shouldn't have let you go
Ah must confess , that my loneliness
is killing me now
Don't you know Ah still believe
that you will be here
And give me a sign
hit me baby one more time"
Rogue sighed. She was never going to live that one down. She looked at her feet while waiting for Remy's reaction which never came as Jubilee came running in.
"Remy there someone waiting at the door for you...said her name was Bella or something." She squeaked in a high pitched voice.
"Ah oui," Remy replied wiping the sweat off his forehead as unlike Rogue he had been training for the past hour, "Dat will be ma date, tell her Remy be up in a minute petite. He just gotta clean up."
Jubilee nodded and ran back out again. Remy went to follow her. Just before he left, he turned back to face Logan and Rogue. "Au revoir Wolvie, Bye bye Britney" he said with an almost sad grin before he left.
Logan turned to face Rogue. She knew that he was going to start ranting about her being late, for he little performance she didn't really care. Only one thing that had happened in the past 5 or 6 hours had actually sunk in "Remy had a girlfriend." Rogue felt tears form in her emerald eyes and didn't bother to hold them back. One thing was for sure. This day sucked!
