Author's Note: This chapter bends realities slightly. In my fanfic, the X-men movies (the new live action ones, in case there's some other X-men movie out there. If there is, please enlighten me in your review.) do exist. Just deal with it. Or as my friends and I say, "Plot device!"

Chapter Five: X2...Gross Exaggeration!

"Bonjour cherie." She smiled back, thinking to herself as she saw his brown hair and tan skin. Not bad…

"Hi there…"

"You are de new mutant, right?"

"Yeah, my name is Kichi Yumagu. But you can call me Ki."

"Okay, Ki. The name's Remy LeBeau. Call me Remy."

"Sounds good…are you one of the X-men?"

"Not exactly, Remy is a new recruit, like you." Oooh…third person, that's kind of hot. thought Kichi as she looked around.

"So where are you headed?"

"Remy was goin' to see someone…but Remy is sure it can wait."

"I haven't seen you around much."

"Remy likes to keep to himself. He's not exactly welcomed here yet…"

"Oh? Why's that?"

"Remy used to be with de Acolytes."

"Oh…that's too bad. But you're good now, right?"

"Of course. What about you?"

"Well…I didn't really want to be here at first, but my aunt said it was probably for the better so…here I am." She smiled at him as a girl appeared at the bottom of the stairs.

"Swamp Rat!" Kichi turned around to see a gothic looking teenager with dark brown hair, two pieces of white in the front. She recognized her from when she woke up in the medical area, with Kurt and Kitty. Remy looked at the girl with surprise and then smiled. Kichi noticed this smile was more sincere and interested than the once he had given her.

"Hello mon cherie." Kichi had taken enough French to know what that meant and blinked at the sour look on the gothic's face.

"Shut up Swamp Rat. Are ya helping me with my French homework or not?" A glare was thrown at Kichi and then the girl turned and stomped back into the kitchen.

"It was nice meeting you…Ki. But Remy has to go help Rogue now. See you later." He walked down the stairs and went into the kitchen. Kichi was intrigued. There was an interesting relationship going on with those two. Remy was obviously interested in Rogue, but she seemed oblivious. Kichi headed upstairs, hoping that Kitty was done. She could investigate Remy and Rogue later.

Kitty sat back down on her bed as Kurt sat on Rogue's.

"So…about…earlier…" she muttered, looking at the ground. Kurt nodded.

"You don't have to vorry about it; it was that Eric guy's fault."

"But…Kurt…" she glanced up at him "I have to say something…" Kurt watched her carefully as she chewed on her lip slowly, obviously nervous. "I've…been thinking about stuff lately…and I think that I like…sorta…maybe…like you a little…" She looked down at her feet again as Kurt's jaw dropped.

"Vhat?"

"Yeah…"

"Uh vell…I guess…I agree vith you. I mean, I like you too. But I didn't vant to say anything."

"Yeah, I don't want to ruin our friendship, and my emotions are…all over the place at the moment so can we like…put this on hold…or something?" Kurt looked away before replying.

"Sure Keety, if that's vhat you vant."

"It's nothing against you, I swear…it's just…"

"But you'll go vith Lance?"

"Come on, I can't be with you anyway, did you see Ki's reaction? And that was accidental…sort of…" she blushed, looking away. Kurt smiled

"I guess your right. Kichi is nice…"

"She's really nice, and I think she really likes you. She's nicer to you than I was at first…" Kurt looked at her in surprise.

"Huh?"

"When I first met you…I, like, wasn't very nice. I'm sorry."

"Oh, that…it's okay. It happens vith everyone."

"But not with Ki, she accepted you immediately." Kurt remembered how she thought his fur and tail were cool. He smiled slightly.

"I guess you're right." Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Hello? You guys done?" Kitty smiled.

"Yep. You can come in." Kichi opened the door and came in, flopping on Rogue's bed.

"Hey, that Rogue chick, do you know her?"

"Yeah, you're like, sitting on her bed. She's my roommate. And Kurt's sister."

"Kurt's sister?" She turned and looked at Kurt wide-eyed.

"Yeah, she is, but not blood…it's a long story." Mumbled Kurt, "Vhy?"

"What's with her and Remy?" asked Kichi, her eyes glittering. Kitty grinned.

"Oh, those two. Remy is, like, totally hung up on Rogue, but she won't even notice him. I think she secretly likes him though." Kurt made a slight face.

"Remy's really vith the bad guys though. He's an Acolyte!"

"Was." Said Kitty "He joined the X-men. Probably just so he could bug Rogue more." Kichi's eyes were still shinning.

"Have you ever…tried hooking them up? I do it all the time with my friends!" Kurt groaned as Kitty smiled.

"That's, like, a totally awesome idea! Wow, Ki, where have you been!" Kichi smiled brightly in return.

"Don't I have a say in all this? She is my sister."

"That's exactly why you, like, don't have a say, Kurt. We know you'll say no. And you shouldn't because it'll be awesome fun."

"I dunno…Rogue vill be very mad if she finds out."

"Well, we'll just have to make sure she doesn't find out." Said Kichi with a sinister smirk.

"Dat means cheese…not 'weird hairdo' Rogue…" said Remy, smiling.

"Oh, right. Sorry, when Ah saw 'fromage' Ah just thought it was somethin' to do with hair." She erased the word and put in what Remy had said.

"You're supposed to look them up, not guess by what dey look like."

"Why should Ah look them up when Ah have you around, Swamp Rat."

"You're never goin' to learn French if Remy just tells you the answers."

"Who says Ah want to learn French? Ah just took it because most of the people here are takin' it, so they can help me. And now Ah got you."

"You sure do, cherie."

"Ah didn't mean like that…"

"Remy did."

"Shut up." She looked back down at the page of French words and sighed heavily. "Ah hate foreign languages…why can't we all just speak one language!"

"What language would everyone speak?"

"It doesn't matter, as long as we all spoke it and Ah learned it as a baby."

"What if it's French?"

"Well, no offense, but if the world did pick a language to be international, it wouldn't be French. France…isn't…you know."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah, it would probably be English, or…like…Spanish. Or maybe we'd go back to Latin. Ah thought about takin' Latin, but you know, they really push the Latin students into medical or law type stuff."

"Dat's all it's used for today."

"So what? Maybe some people just take the class 'cause it's easy."

"And dey is tryin' to get dose people to actually do somethin'. But personally, Remy dinks dat French is much better."

"You would." For a minute she smiled at him for real, and then Kichi walked in.

"Hey you two. How's the French going?" They both turned to see Kichi grinning at them.

"Ah don't like that look on your face. What do you want?"

"Don't be so rude Rogue." Chided Kichi; still smirking "I was just wondering if you wanted to go see a movie with Kurt, Kitty, and me."

"Depends on the movie."

"X2."

"Hmm...Ah don't think Ah never saw the first one, but Ah heard it was pretty good…of course, that was from non-mutants. Sure, why not? You coming, Swamp Rat?"

"Remy's going if you are."

Eventually the whole mansion heard about it and almost everyone decided to go. They had to take the X-van and Scott's car. Kitty, Kichi, Kurt, Jean, and Scott were in his car. Rogue, Remy, Bobby, Amara, Tabitha, Rahne, and Jamie were in the X-van. Sam and Roberto decided to stay behind and watch movies at home. Storm and Logan were watching the two, making sure there were no parties. They had seen the movie already with the Professor and Beast, and warned the kids not to expect it to be accurate. When they got there, they paid for tickets and went into the theater. They were the only people in there. Everyone sat down in groups, Kurt and Kichi sat next to each, Kitty on Kurt's other side while Rogue sat next to Kitty. Remy immediately sat next to Rogue.

"You touch me Swamp Rat, Ah'll kill ya."

"Don't worry, cherie." The younger mutants all gathered up front, giggling and jostling. Bobby got a spot next to Amara with Tabby, and Rahne and Jamie sat together, devouring a bag of popcorn. The movie started and everyone settled back.

During the movie there were lots of groans and gasps, along with people laughing. When they finally left the theater, everyone was silent until Bobby spoke.

"No offense Rogue, but….gross!"

"No offense taken Bobby, that was so…Ah can't believe it! Logan was right…" Jean's eyes widened.

"Logan liked me! Ewwwww!"

"At least you were mostly with Scott and stuff." Said Rogue angrily "While I was making out with Iceboy over here." Bobby wrinkled his nose. Kurt moaned.

"You all just be quiet! You know who they vere hinting at vith me?"

"Storm…" giggled Kichi. "That's hilarious. And you're really weird looking in the movie, I like you better this way."

"They're going to put me vith Storm!" yelled Kurt. Tabby started laughing with Amara. Jean suddenly yelled

"I died in the end!" Scott looked properly mortified and nodded. Bobby, the comic book expert spoke up.

"Don't worry Jean; you'll come back as the Phoenix. Then eventually you'll be the Dark Phoenix, I think you almost killed Scott at one point. But you do become Jean Summers at the end, to Wolverine's disappointment, though he found some other chick." Jean turned red faintly, glancing at Scott, whose face was starting to turn pink. (Okay…comic-verseness too…Plot device! I plead….insane!)

"Hey, Tabby and I here weren't in the movie at all, so there you go." Said Amara loudly as Tabby nodded. Bobby spoke up again.

"Well, Amara, you and Tabby don't exist in the original comics, which is what the movie is based on."

Scott sighed.

"I think it's just disturbing how Wolverine liked Jean…although the actress that played her wasn't that bad looki-"He cut off coughing, looking at Jean's angry face fearfully.

"Ah caught you're name Swamp Rat." Said Rogue, looking at Remy. ( Remy's name was in the movie! Along with Jamie's and two Maximoffs ((Pietro and Wanda?)) and a couple other names. It was in the scene when Mystique's looking up Magneto's cell in the computer room and she scrolls through mutant's names…you can tell I'm really obsessed with X-men, but hey, watch the movie again, it's there! Mmmm Remy…) He smiled.

"Remy knows, he saw it too. Along with Jamie's name." Jamie beamed as Rahne frowned.

"It's not fair…come on, Rahne Sinclair!"

"I don't think you were in the original comics." Said Bobby quietly. "You, Tabs, and Amara, weren't in the original comics. You come in later, around the time Kitty and Jamie appear. I think Kitty even had a comic that focused on her for awhile." Everyone looked at Kitty, who was looking at the ground and hadn't said anything.

"Keety?" She looked up with a blank face and said quietly.

"I was in there for all of, like…three seconds!" Kurt laughed

"Yeah, but hey, that's better than nothing."

"Mr. McCoy was mention on the TV in the bar too. That's so cool. They'll probably bring him in the next one," said Kitty, smiling again They headed towards the vehicles and back to the Mansion. Kichi sighed heavily.

"I like the movie though." Kurt nodded.

"Yeah, if I pretended Nightcrawler vasn't me, it vas pretty good. Although it really vas kind of gross vith Rogue and Bobby. And Jean and Logan." Kitty nodded her agreement, staring out the window. Kichi leaned in close.

"I think it's time to put Operation Remy/Rogue into effect when we get back." Kitty glanced at her.

"Hey, I really thought the French player would pull something at the theater." Kurt shook his head.

"He knows not to do anything vhen she says no…at least, not vhen there are other people around." Kichi smiled.

"Well, then we'll just have to get them alone." Kitty shrugged as Kurt sighed. This was just destined to go wrong.
