Sitting on the front steps Rogue shuffled a pack of cards between her hands as the limo pulled up. "All y'all have a fun night?" She asked, the cards making a gentle whooshing as the leapt from hand to hand.
Jean sighed, and glanced over her shoulder with a wistful look, "Yeah, it was fun."
"Peachy, just peachy," Kitty growled and stormed up the steps. Jean and Rogue exchanged a glance and Jean sighed again.
"I'll go see what's wrong." Rogue smiled as Jean walked past her in pursuit of Kitty. Later she would find out what was wrong with Kitty, but right now she didn't want anything to ruin her night.
"Man! What a night!" Kurt said, dancing up the steps, "You should have stay Rogue, it was perfect! Best night of my life."
Rogue shrugged her shoulders, "Ah guess."
"Night!" And humming one romantic pop ballad or another Kurt teleported into the house. Scott was the last to get out of the limo, he paid the driver then stood there watching it until it was out of sight.
"Ya okay, Scott?" Rogue asked, noticing his distracted manner.
"Huh?" He looked over his shoulder, like for the first time he realized she was sitting there. It didn't bother Rogue in the least. "Oh, yeah, fine, just fine. Where'd you run off to anyway?"
Again, Rogue shrugged, "No where, jus' came back here."
"Well tell me next time okay? If the Professor hadn't of called to tell me, we'd have spent all night looking for you."
"Sure thin'. Night Scott," Rogue said.
"Yeah, night." Scott climbed the steps and went inside. Once again by herself Rogue shuffled the cards. When she stopped, she flipped the top card over revealing the glowing King of Hearts.

Author's Note: So, I promised a little information on the next story in the Series. It's titled The Purpose of Hope, and focuses a lot more on the students and Hope's medical abilities. Can't tell you much more, because I'm evil, and I can't guess at when it'll be out because I'm not gonna commit myself like that. All I can say is stay tuned!
