I do not own any of the X-men characters, the only character I own is Damian, so please don't flame me! I'm sorry about some of the pronunciation of some of the characters as I don't know them that well. This is my first Fan Fiction so I hope you like it:D

…0o0oOoOoOo0o0…

They all left the club and walked down the street to a restaurant Kitty had been one time and said was really good. Damian and Kitty shared a huge bowl of spaghetti while Rogue got lasagne and Remy got a combination of things none of the others had even seen before. Rogue picked at her lasagne, but wasn't eating it. She didn't know why, but she kept looking over at Kitty and Damian. They seemed so happy together, her and Remy hadn't got that close until after a week or two. But all the same, she kept looking at Damian as though he was something she wanted but couldn't have. She was starring at her lasagne when someone put their hand on her shoulder and she looked up.

It was Remy, he was giving her look of concern and he asked, "Are you alright Chere?"

"Yeah, Remy, ah'm ok," Rogue told him," Ah'm just not dat hungry dats all."

…0o0oOoOoOo0o0…

When they were all walking to the fair, Rogue kept glancing over at Damian as they walked, then putting her head down whenever he looked over at her.

Everyone else couldn't wait to get to the fair, "Someone told me that there are, like, pole climbers, I mean, like, the really good professional ones," Kitty was telling them.

"I just want to see the lion tamer getting eaten by the lion," Damian joked, and everyone laughed.

Kitty was right about the pole climbers, they were excellent, the way they could twist and turn and climb was amazing. Rogue didn't enjoy the fair very much other than that, she felt like she wasn't paying much attention to Remy and kept looking over at Damian. Remy also seemed to be quieter than usual, maybe it was because she wasn't talking to him. Whatever it was, she didn't know. Time seemed to go by without her realising because in no time at all, Remy was saying, "Rogue? Chere? What do you want to do, Kitty and Damian have already left."

"Oh, really, that's a shame," Rogue said. Remy could tell that she didn't mean it at all.

"What's wrong Rogue? You're not acting like yourself today," Remy said, concerned.

"Ah have no idea what you're talking about Remy, ah'm fine," Rogue lied. It was obvious to Rogue that she WAS acting not like herself today, but that would mean she had to tell Remy how she felt about Damian, and he wouldn't like that. Remy looked unconvinced but went along with it.

…0o0oOoOoOo0o0…

Rogue cheered up as they did stuff on their own, without Damian. After the fair, they went and played 'paintball' which hurt but was very enjoyable. They then went to aquarium, the amount of fish the place was incredible. "Wow, look at this one," Rogue said in aw as she followed the fish with her finger.

"Yeah hah!" Remy said, starring around at all the fish in the tank, his arm around her shoulders. "Wow, Rogue look at that!" Remy said and pointed to a huge shark.

"Wow, that's big," Rogue gasped.

"I know hey!" Rogue looked up at Remy as he starred around. Why did she like Damian so much when she had Remy?

…0o0oOoOoOo0o0…

They head back to the institute after that, they were both very tired and bruised from the paintball game. When Remy zoomed down the drive of the Institute, Rogue felt a spasm of insecurity and fear. But it didn't last. She walked inside the institute and into her room. She slumped onto the bed and looked around. She still had no idea of who to ask about her problem. No one she knew would be able to help her, knowing what they would say and do. Then she had an idea, maybe Logan may understand, it wasn't about Remy so he won't get mad. It was worth a try. Rogue then got changed into something else and went to find Logan. She looked everywhere but she couldn't find him. Then she found Jean, in her room reading.

"Hey Jean," Rogue said as she knocked on her open door.

"Hi Rogue, what's up?" Jean asked. Rogue didn't know why Jean asked that question when she knew the answer.

"Fine thanks, do you know where Logan is?"

"He went out," Jean said, "Don't know why, he'll be back in just less than a week."

"Oh, thanks Jean," Rogue said. 'In just less than a week?' Rogue didn't know if she could wait that long. She walked back to her room, lay on her bed and tears started to leak down her cheeks. She seemed completely helpless, with no one to talk to about how she felt.

Kitty walked in and said,"Hey Rogue, like, how are you?"

"Oh," Rogue hurriedly whipped her cheeks on her pillow and sat up,"Hey Kitty, ah'm fine, but bruised."

"Oh really, what did you guys, like, do?" Kitty asked, sounding interested.

"We played a game of paintballs," Rogue explained, "Then we went to the aquarium."

"Oh, like, cool," Kitty said, "Me and Damian didn't do much, we just saw a movie and watched some of the acts back at the fair."

"Did you enjoy them?"

"Yeah, they were, like, great," Kitty gave Rogue her huge happy grin. "It's cool that we, like, don't have school tomorrow hah?"

"Yeah, it is hah!" Rogue said offhandedly. Kitty walked out and left Rogue there to ponder again on her unanswerable questions.

…0o0oOoOoOo0o0…

Rogue woke up very late the next day, so tired that she felt like she got up at 6:00am. When she went down stairs, only Kurt was there.

"Hi Rogue," Kurt said as she went and sat down.

"Hey Kurt," She groaned.

"My, you look awful," Kurt said in shock and concern, "When did you get to sleep last night?"

"Ummmmmm…" Rogue groaned again as she tried to remember. "Must have been about three in the morning."

"THREE in the MORNING?" Kurt gasped. "Rogue, why?"

"Ah don't know, ah suppose ah couldn't sleep!" She shouted at Kurt.

There was a very awkward pause, then, "Rogue, I know zis isn't really my place but I know someving is bovering you, so if you need anyving, please don't hesitate to ask!"

"Do you say that as a friend or a brother?" Rogue asked, looking at him.

"Both!" He replied, quite seriously. He got up and left Rogue there, to think about what he said. Before she could consider her options, Kitty walked in.

"My Rogue, did you only, like, just get up?" She asked, looking at Rogue.

"Yeah, ah got up a minute or two ago," Rogue replied offhandedly.

"Oh, well you've had a call from, like, Gambit,"

"Really? What did 'e want?"

"Why don't you, like, find out," Kitty said with a wink. Rogue had a hurried breakfast and went back to her room. Rogue didn't know Remy to call early, something must be up. It was a strangely quick response and when it came, it didn't have its usual warmth.

"Hello?"

"Hey Remy, its Rogue," Rogue said.

"Oh, hey Rogue," Remy said, sounding more enthusiastic, as he always did when it was Rogue.

"Umm…, you called me earlier but ah was asleep," Rogue said, "What did you want to talk to me bout?"

"Oh yeah, I just noticed that you haven't been acting normally lately, and was just wondering what was up?" He said. So he has noticed her unusual behaviour. Well, anyone would, but he had actually ASKED!

"Ummm…, well, nah, nothins up!" Rogue stammered.

"Oh, ok, I just wondered dats all," Remy said.

"Yeah."

"Also, do you want to go out tomorrow," Remy asked.

"Yeah," Rogue said excitedly, "Ah would love to,"

"Ok, cool," Remy said, "Make sure that you invite Kitty and Damian, see if they want to come."

"Oh, ok ah will." Rogue said, losing all happiness inside her from the simple statement.

"Ok, I'll see you tomorrow!"

"Where are we all going to meet?" Rogue asked hurriedly.

"Oh, ummm…, let's just meet at the like always, ok?"

"Ok," Rogue said, "See'ya tomorrow."

"See'ya Rogue," he said, "Kiss kiss." Rogue always found that funny, even if she had just been crying. She laughed and hung up the phone. Rogue walked around the place for a while to try and find Kitty. In the meantime, she thought about what Kurt said. '…if you need anyving, don't hesitate to ask.' What would she need? And who would she ask to get it? Although it was a very meaningful statement, not like Kurt to say something like that. She found Kitty outside next to the fountain, looking into its depths.

"Hey Kitty," Rogue said, "Do you and Damian want to go out with me and Remy tomorrow?"

Kitty looked up at Rogue excitedly, "Oh yeah that would be, like, great," Kitty got up and gave Rogue a friendly hug, "Like, thanks Rogue."

"That's fine Kitty," Rogue said, "Remy wanted you two to come."

"Oh, that's, like, nice of him," Kitty said, letting go of Rogue and giving her a smile.

"Yeah, ah suppose," Rogue lied. She didn't want Damian to come, because Remy would notice her looking at Damian again. Rogue went back to her room and went to bed, thinking again of what Kurt said until she went to sleep.
