Remy smiled as Rogue introduced her friends.

First, there was Katherine "Kitty" Pryde. She was a smart girl with a ditzy personality. Like Totally. Her long brown hair fixed in a neat ponytail bounced around whenever she walked or emphasized a statement she was making. In a way he envied her because Stormy had scalped him the day before. Anyways, the opinion of Kitty was that she should have been a blonde.

Next, there was Jubilation Lee, a loud mouthed Asian girl who wore pink tinted glasses on her head and a bright yellow jacket. She did nothing but talk his ear off the whole way to the cafeteria. As she hand gestured, her bracelets made the most annoying jiggling noise. It was driving him crazy.

Then next was Piotr Rasputin. He was a six foot muscle built Russian guy that seemed to careless if he existed at all. He kept a straight face. He didn't smile. He didn't frown. He just stood there emotionless, unless Kitty talked. It was definitely obvious he had a crush on the ditzy girl, but was too chicken to admit it.

And final, there was Robert "Bobby" Drake who, once again, stated to him that he was 'Iceman'. It was taking a lot for him not to laugh. Iceboy is more like it. And Rogue dates this loser. Who the fuck came up with that idea? Crazy. Chere needs a real man. He smiled. Bobby reminded him a lot of Stormy's friend Scott. Talk about a stick up one's ass.

Overall, Remy didn't mind Rogue's friends at all. Of course, it made him feel like he was in high school again, but he rarely acted his age.

As Kurt sat down with Ororo at the lunch table, he couldn't help but stare at Gambit. He was steaming since he heard about the stuff Gambit did to Ororo that day. As Ororo's boyfriend, he couldn't let Gambit get away with treating her like that. He made up his mind. He was going to tell him something.

"I'll be back in a minute." Kurt said as he stood up.

"Where are you going?" Ororo asked. She didn't want him to leave her, even for a second.

Kurt looked at her. "I'm going to have a vord vith your friend."

"Kurt, just forget about it." Ororo said grabbing his hand. "It's nothing. I just let him get to me, that's all."

"No, I'm not going to forget about it Ororo." Kurt replied. "He treated you like shit today and I'm not going to just let him get away vith it like nothing happened."

"Kurt." Ororo sighed. There was no sense arguing with him. Kurt was going to do what he thought was the best thing.

&&&

"You can speak French." Jubilee said.

"Oui." Remy smiled and took a sip of his drink.

"That is like so cool." Kitty chimed in. "Like the only thing I know in French is Voulez vous coucher avec moi, ce soir." Remy spit out his drink. "Huh petite?" Did she just say what I think she said? "What?" Kitty asked innocently. "Like what does it mean?" "You just asked him to have sex with you." Rogue informed her friend. "Oops." Kitty replied. "Like my bad." Rogue rolled her eyes. Kitty you're such a goof ball. Remy smiled. And usually I'm the forward one. "Sorry petite." He replied. "Ya ain't my type."

"So like what is your type." Kitty asked curiously.

"I like…" Remy smiled mischievously. "I like women with long brown hair preferably with a white streak in it. One with ruby red lips, opal white skin, and emerald eyes. De perfect jewel."

Rogue blushed. He's such a flirt. She giggled as he winked at her.

Bobby folded his arms. This Gambit guy is hitting on my girlfriend. He steamed.

"Ahem."

Remy looked up from his seat at the table to see Kurt looking at him with a cold glare. "Sup?"

"May I have a vord vith you, Gambit?" Kurt said sucking in a breath. He wanted to smack the shit out him at that moment. God give me strength not to kill him.

"Sure Monsieur." Remy replied feeling Kurt's anger running thru his head. 'I's be right back femmes." He said to the girls and got up to go with Kurt.

Kurt led Gambit out of the room where there were no witnesses. He didn't need to have Ororo see him punch Gambit if he couldn't help himself.

Remy made no word to Kurt until they stopped outside the door. "So what ya want ta see me fa?"

Kurt folded his arms and stared at the younger man. "Ororo told me what happened today. You upset her."

Remy smiled. "I's just playing."

"Vell I didn't like it." Kurt said with an attitude.

He did not just talk to me that way. Remy sighed and shook his head. "Oops, my bad. Didn't know I be insulting ya."

"You think zis is a game." Kurt replied to Gambit's remark with a thick German accent. "Granted you have known her far much longer zan me, but she did not need to be treated like zat and you know it."

Remy rolled his eyes. He thinks he can scare me. "Whatever." He ignored Kurt and began to walk away.

Kurt grabbed him by the arm. "Apologize to her."

Remy looked down at Kurt's hand on his arm. He did not just touch me. "Git ya hands off me." He said pushing Kurt from his grip.

Kurt stepped back. "You owe her an apology and you know it."

"You want me to apologize." Remy said to him.

"Ja." Kurt snapped back. "I vant you to apologize."

"Fine." Remy held his head up as they both walked back into the cafeteria.

Ororo looked at the two of them. Kurt looked like he could tear someone to pieces at the moment. Maybe he's jealous. Remy looked like he was on top of the world. He's up to something.

Remy sat down next to Ororo and gave her his innocent smirk. "Hey Stormy."

"Hello Gambit." Ororo said calmly and eyed Kurt as he folded his arms. "What do you want?"

"I sorry." Remy smiled. "I's just playing. I didn't know ya would git so upset." He gave her an innocent pout. "Ya fagive me."

How can I not forgive a face like that? Ororo smiled. "Yeah, I forgive you."

"Vous aimer, le voleur de soeur." Love you, sister thief. Remy smiled over to Kurt and kissed Ororo.

Ororo didn't protest, but she was definitely caught off guard. What the hell? She thought as he slipped his tongue in her shocked lips. What has come over him? I can feel his tongue ring.

Kurt thought his heart stopped. Mein Gott. Mein Gott. He couldn't breathe. He couldn't move. He couldn't even speak. This is not happening. No. It can't be.

As Remy broke the kiss, he could tell he took Ororo's breath away as well as nearly given Kurt a heart attack. And the thing is, the whole entire cafeteria witnessed it too. "Bye Stormy." He said and got up. He looked over to the speechless Kurt and whispered as he passed by. "How's that for an apology?"

Kurt was completely stunned and confused as Gambit made his way back to Rogue and her friends. He walked slowly and sat down next to the lip biting Ororo. Did she enjoy that? He looked down at his plate. His mind was racing so much that he couldn't even eat. Does she love him? Am I loosing her to him? Why is this happening to me?

Ororo bit down on her lip. Oh Goddess. What just happened? Why did Remy do that? She ran her fingers thru her hair and glanced at Kurt. This is killing him. Oh Goddess. Why did this have to happen? Kurt's got to be flipping out.

Gambit took his seat back at the table with Rogue, Kitty, Jubilee, Bobby, and Piotr. They were pretty shocked as well. Of course, he didn't really care for that. The horrified look on Kurt's face was priceless. He'd be wise not to mess with me again.

As Professor Xavier took his place at the teacher's table, he could tell something was wrong. He looked at Ororo's confused expression on her face and asked. "How was Gambit in your classes Ororo?"

"It was alright." Ororo ran her fingers thru her hair. "He was trying to get on my nerves and succeeded at it." She admitted. "Oh, and Rogue has detention with you today."

"You gave Rogue a detention." Kurt said getting all brotherly. "Vat for?"

"For disrupting my class." Ororo replied.

Xavier folded his hands. "Rogue was disrupting your class." That's not like her. "What did she do?"

"She and Gambit decided to throw paper balls and paper airplanes at me as well as around the classroom." Ororo replied. "I have no idea what possessed her to act like that in my class. I have never had trouble with her before. She doesn't even join in when Bobby acts up."

"Vell maybe it's your friend Gambit." Kurt suggested coldly. "He's been nothing but trouble since you brought him here."

Ororo remained silent. Yep. Kurt is upset and angry. Goddess, what am I going to do?

"Actually Kurt, Rogue is quite capable of making choices on her own." Xavier said trying to take Gambit's side. "I don't think Gambit is forcing her to do anything just to get her in trouble."

"Get who in trouble?" Logan grunted as he sat down at the table. "What I miss?"

"Rogue got a detention." Kurt informed him. Thanks to Ororo's fucking little bastard of a friend Gambit.

"What?"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

After lunch, all the students played outside. Ororo glanced to Remy who was flirting and showing off his basketball skills to Rogue, Kitty, and Jubilee. I'm going to have to have a talk with him about that later. She thought to herself, then she glanced to see Kurt sitting on the bench with his Bible. He glanced every so often to keep and eye on the students. But first, I need to talk to Kurt about Remy.

Ororo sat down next to him. "Hey." She said softly. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine Ororo." Kurt replied without looking up from his reading. "What makes you think something is wrong?"

"I don't know." Ororo said as she closed his Bible. "Maybe what happened earlier in the cafeteria?"

Kurt remained silent for a moment. He was jealous, angry, scared, and confused. He didn't want to be reminded of what happened earlier. "Vat is he to you?" He finally found the voice to say.

"What do you mean?" Ororo asked. She knew exactly what he meant. She was dreading this question for the last few days.

"You know exactly vat I mean Ororo." Kurt said looking into her sapphire eyes. "Vat is his relationship to you?"

Ororo felt her heart rise in her throat. She didn't want to answer the question. She didn't want him to know about what she once felt about Remy. She wanted to scream, but she could see in Kurt's hurt golden eyes that not knowing was killing him. She owed him the truth. "Kurt…"

Both their attentions turned to a truck entering the grounds. Ororo knew exactly what it was. It was Remy's motorcycle.

&&&

It was taking a lot for Remy not to tear the cast off his arm. He was sweating and the cast was getting all stinky on his arm. He knew Stormy would fry him if he took it off. But, it was driving him insane and interfering with his flirting.

Bobby wiped the sweat from his brow. Gambit was getting on his nerves, as well as Piotr. The girls did nothing but giggle over him. Plus, he was kicking both their asses in basketball and they outnumbered him two to one.

Remy took a deep breath as the sweat rolled off his face. As he winked, Jubilee and Kitty giggled while Rogue blushed. He was starting to like it at Xavier's. Then, he saw something. His motorcycle.

Rogue, Bobby, Jubilee, Kitty, and Piotr were trying to figure out what happened when he rushed off suddenly.

Remy wanted to puke as he watched Logan and the tow truck guy bring his motorcycle, or what was left of it, into the X-men's garage.

The tow truck drive looked at Logan kind of funny as he paid. "I don't know why you want the bike." He said honestly. "It's banged up bad."

"I'm going to use it for parts." Logan lied.

"Good luck finding anything worth salvaging. I have never seen a bike busted up like that before." The guy replied. "It's a shame too. It's a nice bike."

"Yeah, well thanks." Logan grunted as the guy took off. He looked over at Gambit and could smell the

After minutes of staring in shock, Remy walked over to it. He had bought it barely a month ago and here it was crushed like a tin can. It was his baby. His black Harley Davidson Electra Glide Classic with 1450cc Twin Cam 88 Engine, Bat wing, fork-mounted fairing; nylon alloy saddlebags and fiberglass King Tour-Pak®; full instrumentation; 40-watt per channel AM/FM/CD sound system; comfort-stitch touring saddle and passenger backrest. His baby was destroyed.

Ororo, Kurt, and Logan looked at him as he seemed to lose all control.

Remy pulled out his Bo staff and began hitting it. Fuck Magneto. Why did this have to happen? His eyes burned with the tears he was fighting. Fuck Magneto. That bastard. He dropped the Bo staff and fell to his knees in soft sobs. He curled up and with his hands behind his head.

Ororo walked over to him and touched him gently on the back. 'It's alright." She said comforting him. "It's alright. Let it all out." She looked over to the motorcycle. "I'm assuming you didn't have insurance."

"No." Remy replied keeping his head down. "I just bought it. Cost me 20 grand."

Damn. "Ok." Ororo looked over at Logan who handed her Remy's Bo staff. "Thanks."

"I'm going to take a look at it next hour." Logan said.

"Alright." Ororo nodded. "Come on baby." She said nearly dragging Remy to his feet. "Why don't you get washed up and take a nap. It's been a long first half of a day."

'Oui." Remy replied with his head hanging. He didn't want to even look at anyone. He just wanted to somewhere else and away from everybody.

Kurt watched as Ororo led Gambit from the garage. He hadn't gotten the answer to his question yet, but it was quite obvious to him what was between the two.

"You alright Elf." Logan nudged him. "You acting like it's your bike you lost."

"More like my girl Logan." Kurt answered. "More like my girl."

Sorry it's taking me so long getting out these chapters. I'm trying to split my time between Perfect by Nature and Prince of Thieves, as well as getting Sweet Little Lies ready to go. I'm going to try harder. Thanks for being patient with me.

I got the information for the Harley Davidson Electra Glide Classic off of

I have some great plans for future chapters of this story. I know many have been looking for a Danger Room scene, a fight between Kurt and Remy, and of course plenty of Remy and Rogue fluff. Plus, I haven't fully explained exactly why Magneto hired Gambit to do his dirty work.

If anyone else has any suggestions about what they would like to see in the story, I will take it into consideration.

Well. I'll see you next chapter or story. Thanks for all the reviews.
