To PsychoticNetJunkie: Um, did you get my e-mail?
Disclaimer: So I haven't miraculously come to own it. Dun dun DUN! I bet you're all surprised now. Oh and Care Bears. Not owned by #pose# me.
AN: Hides in corner and whimpers Yes, it's more then a month later then I said I would update. Actually it's nearly been 2 months, but ,erm, nevermind that. My excuse is in my profile way down at the bottom. Please don't be mad! I made it longer then the last chapter to make up for it. It also has Logan, along with Storm, Kurt, Scott, and a bunch of inner voices. Sounds fun, no? Well, there's the stuff about the story now it's time to talk about me! (You can skip to the actual story now; this is me just venting energy.)
A few days ago I asked two friends, M and E, to describe my personality. I take offense to their description, but I like to share. They say I'm a, "Nerdy, nasty, sarcastic, funny, bitch'. Is that not a horrible, horrible thing to say? I am so not happy (because it does hit SORT OF close to the mark). Okay I'm done talking about my self. Let's talk about the people more important then even me. THE REVIEWERS! Begins to take out candy to give to reviewers I hope you guys like Macadamia nut. Oh wait... I can't give this to you. Sigh I'll just have to eat it myself. BWAHAHA! Stuffs face into chocolate box
ShinigamiPhoenix: I think I answered your review, if you can actually remember it after all of this unupdated time, in a review for the Dark Roses. WHICH EVERYONE SHOULD READ AND REVIEW! (Please notice that I used caps AND an exclamation point. It's that good.)
DemonRogue13: As always a faithful reviewer, just want to appreciate my gratitude by saying THANKS! (Once again with the exclamation points and caps)
Louc S. Swarm: You know after all this time I just realized what the Louc S meant. Am I stupid or what? Oh and by the way that is really flattering. Thank you so much! And it takes a lot to scare me, like a spider or something. Shiver
Kitsune Jagan: It will be very interesting (I hope) when she finds out. And Remy's name is mentioned at the end. That will be the most for a while. Thanks!
Tailfeather: Okie-dokie. Thanks.
The PAperweight Counselor: Hee hee me too! Thank you! Maybe I should put a warning label. Warning: May cause relapse in addiction to fanfics.
Blue Lady: It will come. Thanks!

Peace215: Thank you for giving it a chance. I'm glad you liked it. I may include a danger-room scene. Plus, another person to add to the anti- Timberlake's! WE WILL BRING HIM DOWWWWWWWWWWN!!!! Crazy moment over.
Anything but ordinary3: Your reviews are always the funniest! I love getting them. And thank you for the paper clip. I most defiantly will... clip paper. Sorry you had to wait a little over five minutes. Any way I just wanted to say thank... notices you are nowhere to be seen, but there is a tea towel missing, a puddle of vodka, and a broken window, and sirens coming from below it I don't even want to know.
Girl number 1: O.O Okay there's a lot to say here. Movie Rogue will go gasp. Logan/Bobby romance? Oh I see what you meant by that. Picks up pieces of the story you loved to bits. NOOOOO! Why so young?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!! Proceeds to fall into fetal position, sob, then get over it Thanks for your comments.
I have no idea who I should give the chapter dedication to since they where all so good. Damn indecision. On to the story! P.S. I have no idea how to speak valley girl. Sorry. I'm not all that eager to learn, either.

Inner Kitty was obsessing over how she looked like in this universe. She was critizing every aspect of herself. Oh, and she mentioned how freaky the entire thing was, but then went back to the 'important' stuff. Rogue the 'innocent' bystander listened helplessly while twitching as she walked to where her 'teachers' were.
'Oh my God! Did you, like, see my hair? It was completely DRY, like, for sure! Hello! Leave in conditioner!'
After a few minutes of this mind-melting babbling Rogue stopped, fell to her knees, and clutched at her head.
"For the love of all that is good in this world, will you please shut the hell up?!?"
Unfortunately as she said this, a random 12-year-old boy walked by and gave her a very strange look. Rogue spoke internally, Well there goes the whole discreet plan. Now ALL of you: SHUT UP!
She then called out to the quickly retreating boy, "Um, not you! Just, uh, some internal arguing."
The boy just looked over his shoulder fearfully and walked even faster. It happens.
So Rogue continued on her quest for the people responsible for her education, a first for her. She soon reached her destination. A door labeled with the sign 'lounge' greeted her. She reached for the doorknob but remembered that she might 'normally' show more respect. She settled for 3 timid knocks on the wooden entryway.
S few seconds later the door opened and Rogue's heart nearly exploded. Her brother's physical features had demon like qualities, but compared to this, he was a walking Care Bear. This guy's canines were HUGE and he had the eeriest yellow eyes. And she had seen more then would be suspected. Also, instead of Kurt's luxurious fur this man's body was covered by strange markings. It was enough to surprise anyone.
"Holy shi- crud, Kurt! You scared me half to death!"
A scolding voice came from within the room, "Rogue, show your teachers some respect! I'm surprised at you! And to say something so cruel."
Rogue leaned into the room slightly to address the chastening voice, "It wasn't meant as an insult. I just got spooked. I, uh," Rogue swallowed her pride, "I'm sorry if it sounded like one. Is it okay if I come in and talk, Oro- erm, Ms. Munroe?"
A different, gruffer voice that Rogue couldn't see answered her, "Come on in, Rogue, it's alright. I don't think blue took much offense, did you?"
Kurt shook his head riley, "No I suppose I did open the door quickly. Come in." He opened the door further giving her a quick bow as she walked in. Rogue said a quick thank you and surveyed the room's other occupants.
Storm was sitting in a love seat close to the door. She was wearing a flattering pair of jeans and a white blouse that matched her hair. It was very different from what Rogue was used to. Storm was just as beautiful, but more human then the weather goddess of Rogue's own world.
There was also a young man who was wearing sunglasses in the semi-dim room. He sat across from a window looking despondent. He had a bit of 5 o'clock shadow. Light suddenly reflected off the glasses and there was a quick glint of red. Most likely Scott. He still had his all-American boy good looks made slightly more rugged by age and stubble.
Then there was...him. The most hunkable thing Rogue had seen in her life as a hormonal teenager. He wore a tight white shirt with a Levi jacket and jeans. God bless those jeans. She could almost picture all of the females, and a few guys, in her head drool. Those jeans would be a main conversation point in her head for a while. A long while.
Of course this beautiful happiness was soon shattered when the revelation came upon her. This was Logan. This drool worthy man was the short, craggy, sadistic, danger-room loving man she knew from her own world.
Sudden horrified understanding was the first thing that went through her mind followed by an irrepressible fit of laughter. Not quite hysterical, but toeing the line. No, wait, it's hysterical.
"Oh my God... oh my FUCKING God," she burst out laughing, "This is too much... way to FUCKING much!" She looked up, as if to God, "Is my life some cosmic joke? Am I here to entertain you, Big Guy?"
She then slipped down to the floor and leaned against the wall. Rogue placed her head between her knees and was silent.
Logan, Storm, and Kurt gave each other very confused looks. Scott mean while continued looking out the window brooding about Jean. Or maybe about the season finale of Sex and the City, but I'm going with the first one.
Logan was the first to speak and he said so eloquently, "What the hell?"
Kurt came next, "Uh, I do not know her so well, but I believe this is not normal behavior, yes?
Finally Storm, "Well a lot has happened, maybe all of the emotion suddenly rushed her. That's probably what she wanted to talk about. It's just a little fit of hysteria. I think it's common when some one you know passes away."
Rogue's head shot up at that She was a bit frightened, "Huh, someone died? It wasn't the Professor was it? Oh I'd be in deep shit if he kicked the bucket." (AN: Heehee. Bucket. Magneto.)
Logan gave her a look, "Kid shut up, alright? You know who died, you were there." He jerked his head towards Scott.
"Scott's dead?"
The said man turned slowly to look at her, "No it was the love of my life. The light of my soul. Jean's dead." He turned back to the window.
"Oh," Rogue blinked, "That's interesting."
Scott turned back to her, "What did you just say?" His voice had a slight edge to it.
"Uh, oh that's interesting?"
Scott leaped up and screamed at her, "Jean's dead and all you have to say is 'oh, that's interesting'? What the hell is wrong with you? How about we kill you and then talk about how 'interesting' it is? Sound like FUN?!?"
Rogue did not like being yelled at. Or threatened for that matter. Not at all. So, naturally she yelled right back, "Well excuse me! Sorry if I don't burst out crying at her name. Sorry I didn't know she was dead!" Then Rogue covered her mouth. She most likely DID know Jean was dead.
'Ah, Cherie, you sure are smooth.'
Shut up Cajun.
'Always knew that temper would get the better of you one of these days. Too bad I'm not there to take advantage of it.'
You're one to talk, Alvers.
'Wow, I can't believe I'm dead!'
Well you are. My congratulations. I've got to tell you that I had hoped for it sooner rather than later.
'Now, Rogue that's not very nice.'
Well, you sure sound happy Scott; maybe because you know in some universe you actually get Jean. I would never had guessed you would have the ba-
'You're right. I do look damn SEXY in those jeans'.
... Oh my God Logan. NEVER say that again! It's so freaking disturbing.
'I can't help that you think I'm a sexy beast.'
'You called?'
Jesus, would you all just get back behind the stupid door?!?
Rogue then shoved the psyches behind the proverbial door in her head. After doing this she rubbed her head and said aloud, "That should shut them up for a while."
She belatedly realized that the occupants of the room were giving her suspicious semi-confused looks. She should really remember to keep it in her head.
Kurt then hesitantly said, "I am pretty sure THAT is not normal."
Scott continued glaring at Rogue and said, "Maybe it's Mystique. She's an evil wacko."
'Hey! I resemble that!'
Logan nodded and took a great whiff of the air. He then regarded Rogue with a slightly hostile expression, "Yeah she smells a little different, too."
Rogue glared at everyone, "I would appreciate it if you didn't insult me by calling me that bit-witch's name," she turned to Logan, "Do you sniff me a lot?"
Logan glared back and said, "It's not Mystique's scent, but it's not Rogue's either. Well if she is Mystique, I'm glad she hasn't tried to seduce me."
Rogue blinked then twitched, "Mystique tried to seduce you? That is so sick!"
'I tried to seduce the hairy Canadian?'
'Your evil mother tried to seduce me. Oh yeah I'm so sexy! #POSE#'
Rogue shook her head, "So very VERY sick."
Storm looked thoughtful for a second then said, "She's not acting like Rogue or Mystique. Anyways we should get her to the Professor. He'll know what to do."
Everyone agreed. Scott and Logan would be holding on to her covered arms just in case. Storm and Kurt would trail behind for 'possible emergencies'. Which, from Rogue could tell, meant holding hands and other 'touching'.
'Ah, Cherie, don't wish you and Remy could do that?'
Uh, HELL no!
Rogue did manage to ask them a question before she was lead to Cerebro.
"Do any of you know a Gambit? His real name's Remy Lebeau."
Besides Storm's quick glance at the name Lebeau, they all said they never had heard of him.
Rogue smiled for the rest of the walk.

Holy meatballs! Thirteen pages of typing, is upsetting. It's horrible. I've got to ask for 3 reviewers this time. Even if they all have abandoned me. I wouldn't blame them. Well thanks for reading and please review.
