Rogue yawned lazily and smiled slightly as she her eyes. She felt a strange glow of happiness and she sat up in bed confused trying to figure out what she was so happy about. Then her eyes fell on a crushed piece of paper next to the pillow and a grin broke across her face as she looked at the note. She had never had any friends before. She had always been too afraid that they would find out about her dad and if that happened he would kill her for sure. So she had never talked much to anyone in her previous school. But now there was Tabitha and Kitty and Lance and John.

She dismissed the depressing memories of her time in Mississippi and concentrated on figuring out what to wear instead. She picked out a greenish sleeveless shirt with black pants but changed her mind when she remembered the what would happen if she came in contact with anyone's skin and grabbed a loose black sweatshirt instead. She noticed that it was awfully quite and realized that everyone else was still sleeping. She took a long relaxing shower and when she sat down in the kitchen with the paper she was feeling just as cheerful as she had that morning when she woke up. She was pouring herself a bowl of cereal when Kitty walked in. Her hair was standing up in all directions and she didn't exactly look pleased as she sat down next to Rogue. She didn't say a word until she had drowned a glass of water and then noticing Rogue's confused look she said, "I threw up like 3 times this morning. Ug I hate this." She put her head on the table and tried to tame her aching head but it just seemed to get worse. Tabitha didn't seem her usual cheery self this morning and Rogue said nothing as the two of tem sat in the kitchen grumbling. Kitty hadn't eaten a thing and looked very pale. She hadn't had much sleep either but she stood up with the other two and changed to go to work.

After four hours of continuous torture, Rogue sank gratefully into the seat that Pietro had pulled out for her. The twins had started working that day and although their presence added more excitement to the time they spent at work it also meant cleaning up after all of Pietro's culinary disasters and all good humor from the morning had left her after 4 whole hours of running around picking up orders and forcing smiles as she put up with all sorts of customers. Some of them shot her death glares while another stopped to ask her where she had been born. All in all it had been one busy hectic morning. "And it's finally over." She thought hopefully.

But when she had sat down her mind turned back to the last night and the little note that she had found. She tuned out all the voices around her and felt almost glad that she just might see him again today. She thought back two days when she had first see him. She shook her head and abruptly came to her senses. She cursed herself for acting like such an idiot and got up to finish up the rest of her work so she could leave. Tabitha had promised to show them a tiny café which served the best French food and after the meal last night Rogue was craving for some real food.

She kept herself busy and had completely forgotten all about Remy as she finally cleaned the trays and finished her share of the work. She absentmindedly nodded as she was handed the trash and went outside to throw it in the dumpster. And there he was again. In the exact same place he had been last time. Rogue tried to ignore the frantic beating of her heart as she threw the trash in and turned to leave. Just as she turned she felt a hand clasping her gloved hand and she turned in panic to come face to face with him. He was wearing the trench coat again and black pants and a shirt but what held her attention was his eyes. They looked just as gorgeous as she remembered them. "Not that Ah was trahing to remember." She said to herself as she fought against the hypnotic charm that his eyes had on her.

And she just might have managed to fight it if he hadn't said those words in his deep but quite voice. "Bonjour chere." Rogue quickly recovered and tried to pull her hand away and he let go after an instant. Rogue was finding it very hard to remain clam and practical and she was quickly losing the battle so she snapped "What do you want Cajun? Why have yah been sending meh letters? And how do yah know where Ah live? Have yah been stalking me or something? Coz Ah swear of yahve been spying on me or stalking me Ah am going tah kill yah."

She stopped short when she noticed his amused smile. "Stupid swamp rat" she muttered and turned to leave.

"Oh well since you been leaving Remy'll see you later my river rat." Rogue turned back glaring and said, "What did yah call meh?"

The cheeky smile never left his face as he answered "If you can have a pet name for Remy, Remy tinks' he be entitled to give you one too chere."

"Yahr not entitled to call me anything swamp rat so go away and leave me the hell alone." She said as she stalked off. Just as she reached the door she turned back and said "And Ah'm not yahr chere."

Smiling to himself Remy muttered "River Rat" under his breath as he turned and left.
