Silent Doom: there's a reason why he took it well, just keep reading k ;) thanks for constructive criticism, and I was wondering if people really liked it as it was. I realize that I move things too fast and I'm working on it thanks.

Meraculas: Working on it and at your request here's another chapter.

Fox of the Nova: I try to put an element of myself into Rogue because I am somewhat of that southern belle, and I always go straight to the point. It's useless delaying the inevitable.

Chica: would have typed your whole name, but I can't. I am literally unable to do that. Anyway thanks for the review and I'm updating….again.

"You're kidding right?" Bobby ran after her.

"If I was kidding, I would've said 'gotcha' and started laughing by now don't you think?" Rogue crossed her arms over her chest.

"So you're dumping me for him. I see how it is." Bobby started to walk away.

"I thought you just said you liked Jubes." Rogue walked after him.

"I do, but I love you Marie. Do you know how frustrating it is to love someone who you knew never loved you back? When you told me it was over what did you want me to do? Fly off the handle and try to kill you? Just like a good loving ex-boyfriend, I took it with as much dignity and decency that I could conjure. But, you're dumping me for someone who you've met no more than two and a half days ago. Don't you think that's strange? It's not normal for someone to fall in love so fast." Bobby had turned around and started shouting. Remy had walked out into the hall along with some other miscellaneous spectators.

"Bobby, there's a difference in love and infatuation, and I think you need to find it." Rogue turned around and walked to Logan's room.

Bobby went back into his room. Remy was close behind him, and he would try to comfort him but before he sat foot into the room he was greeted by an icy wall blocking his path.

"If zats se way it's going to be, zen we'll do zis you're way." Gambit took the deck of cards out of his pocket and one by one flared them red and flung them through the ice wall. He kicked down the rest of the ice and walked into the room.

"I don't want to talk to you right now." Bobby said through hurt eyes.

"I figured as much, but know zat I didn't know zis was going to happen. I was so sure she only liked me as a friend, and I zink she just needs to do some soul searching." Gambit threw the queen of hearts at Bobby.

"For luck in love." He walked out of the room.


Marie knocked softly on his door.

"Yeah?" His voice rumbled through the door. Marie came storming in. She had managed to keep back tears until then. She immediately threw her arms around Logan and started sobbing into his chest. Logan looked down at her and rubbed her back until she was able to calm down. Slowly Marie let go and sat on the end of the bed. Logan closed the door then went to the bathroom to get a tissue for Marie and a new clean shirt for him.

"What's wrong kid?" He put a strand of hand behind her ear. She sniffled and started crying again just thinking about it. Logan just sat there not really knowing what to do.

"Who am I going to have to kill this time? You know one of these days I'm gonna run out of places to hide the bodies." He said. Marie instantly started laughing. She sucked in a big breath before telling Logan what had happened.

"You really broke his heart kid; he's probably going to be that way towards you for a while." Logan said.

"But I'd hate to lose his friendship and I know I should love him by now after all he's done for me. I mean, he's the best guy in the world, who wouldn't want him as a boyfriend, but I just, I have this fear of him. It's like this fear just guards me from loving him because I don't want to end up one of those housewives that every time they spill something their husband beats them and I find Bobby to be that kind of guy. I think the only reason he HASN'T hit me is because I have my mutation." Marie felt relieved after divulging this information.

"That or he knew he'd get a claw through his chest." Logan mumbled under his breath. Rogue giggled.

"But what are you gonna do about Gambit?" Logan got up to get himself a beer.

"Take him to prom I guess. Listen to me Logan I'm such a girl! I should be stronger than this. I'm almost an X-men, I've been training with you in the Danger room every other day for the past year. I am a killing machine, yet here I am crying over a boy and talking about prom. I think Jubes has really gotten to me." She said laying back on the bed in a puff. Logan leaned against the wall across from her.

"Listen, you're an 18 year old woman. You're under a lot of pressure, and besides, this doesn't leave this room. Rogue never cries, but Marie does. Remember that." He said before taking a sip of his beer. Rogue sat up and sniffled.

"Thanks Logan." She got up and hugged him before walking out.

When Rogue got to her room, Jubilee was waiting for her. She sat arms over chest and legs crossed on Rogue's bed.

"Oh great…" Rogue thought.

"I heard."

"Who hasn't?" Rogue quipped.

"How long have you known Bobby liked me and you stayed with him? YOU KNOW I'VE HAD A CRUSH ON HIM!" Jubilee stood up. Rogue giggled a bit.

"That's what this is about? I've known a total of…" She looked at her watch. "Maybe an hour that he liked you. Now if you really want to get in his good graces go comfort him. Oh and maybe have pity sex with him; he hasn't had contact with a girl for over a year." Rogue said through a smile.

"Very funny." Jubes said before walking towards the door.

"You know I'm kidding, unless you really want to do that I'm sure he wouldn't mind." Rogue called before she closed the door.

She noticed Kitty was out of the room. "She's probably at colossus's room." Rogue concluded before changing into Pajama's and going to bed. Tomorrow she had a class with the professor to try and further control her powers early in the morning.
