The Meaning of Your Love
Chapter 1: The Musings of a Princess
---------------------------------------------
She held the small card in her hands, rubbing the tip of her index finger over the small print. She had pondered about calling him over and over again, for the past week, but she couldn't decide whether to call the number or not. "What if it's a fake number and I end up embarrassing myself? Or what if they changed numbers? Or! What if they're just trying to lure me out and kidnap me?" she let herself fall backwards onto her bed and stared up at the ceiling. "Things were so much more easier in Nova Roma…" she said to herself with a sigh. She shifted her position so that she was leaning her head on her hand and facing towards the window. It was bright outside, usually she would be outside, with her friends, but it just wasn't the same.
Now that Apocalypse was free, she didn't feel safe anymore. Magneto was presumed dead, as was Mystique, who knew what would happen next? Rogue had returned the day before, from an excursion her and Gambit had. She seemed a lot happier for some odd reason. Kitty had a thought that something had happened between them, and Amara agreed.
"Two people in New Orleans, who knows what could happen during Mardi Gras…" she whispered to herself. She sat up suddenly and thought for a moment. "If Rogue can be with Gambit alone and not get in trouble… Then I guess it's okay for me to see Pyro, I mean St. John again!" she concluded to herself. She nodded at herself in her vanity mirror and snatched her cell-phone from her desk.
"Okay Amara… It's just a phone call…. It's not that hard.." Amara stared down at the number in her hand and breathed in deeply. The phone beeped loudly with each number she entered, as if they were shouting out to the mansion that she was doing something wrong, then… She pressed the call button and placed the phone to her ear.
Riiiiiiiiiiiing….
Riiiiiiiiiiiing….
Riiiiiiiiii-
"….Hallo? Who in their right mind would call this early?"
"Uhm… This may seem weird but…. I was wondering whose number was in the book I bought!!" she made up the excuse quickly." Stupid stupid stupid!! She told herself in her head… Of course it'd be his, he gave you the damn book in the first place!!
"Ah! Sheila! I was wondering when you'd call!" St. John chirped happily. She heard some shuffling on the other side then a triumphant "HA!".
"So… It is you Pyro, I mean St. John!" she recovered quickly and looked at herself quickly in the mirror, her cheeks were bright red, even though she was really tan, she could see that her cheeks were red.
"Well who else could it be? I've been bored out of my skull all week… Except for yesterday when your friend decided to drop by, what's his name.. Wolfy? Boy I kicked his ass good…"
Amara giggled softly into the receiver. "I heard differently from Logan," she stated, remembering him telling them that Rogue wasn't their and that he had beaten the shit out of the red head one. "But at least you're alive! Logan can get pretty brutal…" She sighed to herself… She was rambling. "Uhm.. I'm sorry for calling you out of no where like this… Just wondering whose number it was!" There I go again… Using that lame excuse…
"It's okay Sheila, ya know what? I'm really bored now that Magny's gone and all, how'd ya like to do something with me today?"
Amara bit her lip. Think Amara.. Think… "Uhh! Okay! Sure, why not! How bout at 3?" She slapped herself in the forehead, he was probably planning something….
"Great! Meet me at the amphitheater! We can go out and eat or something like that," St. John sounded amused, and somewhat excited at the same time.
"Uhmm.. Okay then! I'll see you at 3..." She pressed the end call button and sighed to herself. "Good going Amara.. You just got yourself into a date you'll probably never forget…."

Rogue sat herself down on the same bench her and Scott had used when they were working on their Shakespeare project when he was still in school. She sighed to herself and crossed her arms.
Ever since her little adventure in New Orleans, she couldn't stop thinking about him. He was one of the first guys who actually tried to get along with her, even with her mutation. He wasn't afraid of her like most of the guys were. He actually seemed like he cared. She carried that card with her everywhere, it had it's own little pocket in her wallet.
"Why is it so special to me!" she groaned, leaning her head in her hand. "How can one guy make me feel like this… Ah have got to get him out of my head…"
She began to glance about, thinking whether she should leave or not, then her mouth fell open. "Is that Amara…. With Pyro?!" she whispered to herself, amazed. They were leaving the amphitheater, and his arm was around her. She rubbed her eyes once more, then narrowed them, and stood up, ready to follow them.
