Thank you for the reviews
Yes, Sleeping beauty part is coming up but this is the major part which you must understand.

Let the Romy begin….
Sleeping Beauty And The Beast
Chapter Eight Family Dinner
Previously…
"Oh Irene ah do love Remy so, but marriage is jus' not the right thing fo' us right now." said Rogue.
"Well expect it child, Remy needs a Queen." Then that's when it hit Rogue, her responsibility, she would have to marry Remy sometime, and she was looking forward to it, but she also knew that when she did, soon enough she would be Queen…Rogue wanted an adventure but not that kind. How could she do this? And then she knew she couldn't.
…
"Who is it?" he asked. The butler didn't answer. Remy walked down the stairs and opened the door fully to the man who was drenched from the moonlight rain. "…Jean-Luc…""
………
"Well, well, well, looks like mah boy b' runnin' dis castle fo' moi." said Jean-Luc as he stepped in, soaking wet.
"What de hell are you doin' 'ere!" shouted Remy clenching his fists.
"Now now Remy, I know you wouldn' hit your own father."
"A lot has changed in de past. 'Ow come you disappeared, 'ow come you never told us where you were!" shouted Remy.
"Remy, I will explain later, but fo' now we mus' get down t' business. I'm de king an' I have returned. Now where's Henri?" asked Jean-Luc.
"I banished 'im."
"What!" shouted Jean-Luc. "You banished your own brother!"
"You wouldn't understand Jean-Luc…father. You know he ripped mah heart out when he slept wit' Belladonna, an' when you left de kingdom I new it was de perfect time t' do what I wanted t' do all along, banish mah brother." explained Remy.
"I always new you were a selfish, spoilt brat Remy, but I never t;ought I'd see de day when you banished your own brother." said Jean-Luc.
"Well I'm not de ol' Remy anymore, I've changed."
"As I've heard. Rumour is you were a Beast. You fell in love wit' a girl named…Rouge?"
"Rogue!" Remy corrected.
"Dats de one. Wow, she mus' b' one beautiful women t' capture you're heart." said Jean-Luc.
"One t'ing I learnt from being a beast Father is t' never judge someone by der looks." Jean-Luc smiled. "An' by de way, Henri came back t'day an' we made t'ings up. Fact wa she loved Bella, I jus' didn' see dat. Rogue's changed moi father…truly she has."
Jea-luc put his hand on his boy's shoulder.
"Good, 'coz I need de next King t' b' here."
"T'ing is, you know da the can't b' de king now because o' de banishing thing right?"
"We'll see…now ehere's my room?"
"Same room it was befo'."
"Good, good. I don' wan' anyone sleeping in mah bed." Remy smiled. Now he truly had all his family back. "An' Remy, tomorrow I wan' a family dinner, Rogue's and our own." Remy nodded and bowed.
"Welcome home mah king."

Remy woke up to find Rogue, kicking and screaming next to him. He didn't want to wake her up but he wanted to carm her down, so he sung in her ear a song of tale as old as time. She soon soothed down and remained her natural posture. He smiled and truly felt happy with her. He loved comforting her and making her feel like everything was going to be okay. He just wondered what her nightmare was about…
That morning Rogue woke up and looked to Remy who was staring at her.
"Mornin' sunshine." said Rogue as she smiled sweetly to him, her face on her pillow and the same with Remy.
"Mornin' mon chere, have a good sleep?" he asked her.
"Uh…yeah ah slept like a log." Rogue lid, and Remy new it.
"Sure chere, whatever you say. But Remy wants t' know about you're nightmare you had last night." said Remy. Rogue froze, she couldn't tell him about that, if she did she was sure their relationship would be in the dumps, even after 2 months.
"Sugah, it's nothin' t' worry 'bout, ah jus' had a bad dream is all." assured Rogue.
"Okay…but I jus' want t' know 'f It's anyt'ing t' do wit'…Joe or de castle…moi." said Remy sadly. Rogue smiled and put her hand on his cheek.
"Remy, ah know that being the Beast was hard an' all, but now you're not. An' that don' make a difference."
"An' why don' it make a difference?" asked Remy.
"Because ah fell in love with you even when you looked like a beast, it's not about you're appearance, it's about the inner you." said Rogue. Remy smiled.
"I'm so glad I have you Rogue." Remy hugged her and held her tight. Her head was over his shoulder so he couldn't see her face. She looked to the side of his head and then looked down sadly. She loved Remy…but she wasn't sure that was enough.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Remy had told Rogue of his fahter's return and his request of a family dinner, so Rogue agreed and wanted to look her best for the dinner. She of course sent out an invitation to her aunties who were so happy to hear that she was with Remy now.
Rogue and Remy were stood near the door, waiting for her aunties.
"Nervous?" he asked her.
"O' course. Ah haven' even met you're father yet" said Rogue. She was wearing a beautiful golden dress and gloveswhich sparkled. Remy wore a tux.
There was a knock at the door and Rogue ran to get it. She opened it to reveal the Three 'women'.
"Rogue!" they all shouted as they hugged her.
"Oh auntie O, Jean, Kitty! It's so great t' see ya'll." said Rogue. "Ah wan' you to meet mah Prince and mah lover, Prince Remy." The three fairies looked over to the nervous Prince and bowed to him.
"It's a pleasure you're Prince." said Kitty. Rogue laughed and walked over to Remy.
"Well ah think that we sohlud go into the dining room now." said Rogue.
"I agree, an' let moi tell dese beautiful women dat de cooks make de best chiken you've ever tasted." said Remy.
"Oh es I love chicken." said Jean. The couple led the three women to the dining hall. hey opened the door and there stood Henri and Jean-Luc standing up, waiting for them. Charles was also there but already sat down.
"Well aren't you a sight fo' saw eyes." said Jean-Luc as he walked over to Rogue and kissed her hands. She curtsied and smiled at him proudly.
"You're majesty." she said.
"Please call moi Jean-Luc, or better yet you'll b' callin' moi father soon." Rogue blushed, but not in a good way. Remy laughed.
"An' hopefully dat will b' soon." said Remy.
After the introductions were done, Ororo kept glancing to Jean-Luc and vice versa.
"Before dinner begins, I would like a word with Ororo, Kitty and Jean 'f ya don' mind." said Jean-Luc.
"No that's okay." said Rogue. Jean-Luc nodded and the three women and himself got up and went into a small room.
"I sohlud have known." said Ororo. "Jean-Luc, I can't believe our Rogue fell in love with Remy."
"I know, it's a miracle." said Jean-Luc.
"This is perfect." said Kitty.
"Definitely." sad Jean.
"It's kind of strange seein' you fairies after all dese years. I never heard how de Princess wo' doin'." said Jean-Luc.
"She still doesn't know, we went round to her father, King Logan when she was kidnapped, he was worried sick. But we never knew it was Remy until a couple of weeks ago." explained Ororo.
"Father!" shouted Remy. Jean-Luc nodded and opened the door for the three ladies to go back into the dining room.
Later on that evening, the 'family' were eating their desert. It had been a pretty good dinner and nothing had really gone wrong. Rogue was still worried about the Queen thing, Remy was getting funny looks from the three women, Jean-Luc was staring at Rogue and Henri…well he was just eating.
"So Rogue, I can tell bah you're accent you're not from around 'ere, where you b' from?" asked Jean-Luc.
"Oh well, ah actually don' know. My aunties found me when ah was a baby an' raised me ever since. Ah have ma accent ah guess from a few o' mah friends." replied Rogue. Jean-Luc nodded his head.
"I wonder, have you ever been to King Logan's castle in England?" asked Jean-Luc.
"No, but ah would like t' travel there one day. That's what ah really want t' do with mah life, jus' t' travel an' see what's out there."
"Well I will have t' take you sometime chere." said Remy as he smiled at her. Rogue smiled back and then panicked a little.
"Oh this desert it lovely your majesty." said Ororo.
"I've like, had better." said Kitty. Jean nudged her.
"Well I think it's excellent." she said smiling.
"Well I'm full I'll think I'll leave it." said Kitty. As she stood up with her plate she caught her leg and fell back on the chair. The chocolate desert went into the air and hit Henri in the face. Henri smudged it off him and not knowing who threw it, but thinking it was Remy, he threw his desert. Remy picked up his and threw it back but it hit Jean by accident. Jean threw hers and the food fight began.
In the end they all ended up with chocolate on their faces. Rogue and Remy descended to their room.
"So chere, had a nice evening?" he asked her.
"It was…lively." she said. They both laughed and stopped at the top of the stairs.
"I love you." he said.
"Love ya too sugah." He kissed her on the cheek and went into his bathroom. Rogue sighed and started to walk to hers and Remy's room. As she opened it she saw a bright light from the guest bedroom.
"No dears, no magic!" shouted Ororo.
"Like why not? It's not like anyone is watching!" said Kitty.
"And the king already knows its us." said Jean.
"That's not the point, if Rogue saw us, what do you think she'll say. She'll want answers and we'd have to tell her the truth." explained Ororo.
"The truth about what?" asked Rogue as she came into their room. "What was that bright light?"
"Oh Rogue dear, I didn't see you come in." said Ororo. "No bright light, just the…candle."
"Okay…"
"Ur hey Rogue lets like, go downstairs." said Kitty trying to get her out of the room. "I want to like, ask you some questions."
"Alright, no need t' push." Kitty pushed her outside into the moonlit garden.
"So how are you and Remy?" asked Kitty. Rogue smiled faintly.
"We're fine, fine…"
"Rogue, I may be like, the worst auntie in the world, but I like, know when you're lying." Rogue smiled and laughed.
"Ya were always the one that understood me the most Kitty. But it doesn't matter."
"No come on Rogue, you know you can always talk to me." said Kitty. Rogue turned her head away from Kitty. "Is it Remy? Is it the castle? Don't you like where you are or something?" Rogue turned her head back to Kitty. Tears were falling down her beautiful face. "Rogue dear, like what's wrong?"
"Kitty, ah'm so confused."
"About what?"
"Ah…ah can' tell you."
"Rogue, please like, I know you can talk to me. You've always been able to talk to me." pleaded Kitty to the crying Rogue.
"Ah know Aunt Kitty, you're more spirited than Auntie O an' Aunt Jean, but that's not the point. Ah jus' can'." said Rogue.
"Please darling, like, if it's upsetting you this much you need to let it out."
"But Kitty ah can'…ah jus' can'…It's an evil thought, but ah've been thinking 'bout it so much that it's scaring Me." said Rogue.
"Rogue tell me please. You're my…child in a way and I hate to see you cry…please Rogue you need to…"
"Alright ya wanna know, ya really want t' know!" shouted Rogue. "Ah'm havin' second thoughts on me an' Remy!" Kitty gasped and Rogue started to cry again.
"Dear heavens child." said kitty. 'But she can't have second thoughts, there betrothed and he's her true love, to break the spell that might happen.' thought Kitty.
"It's not that ah don' love 'im Kitty, ah'm jus' Irene was telling me 'bout having t' marry Remy because he's the rightful King when Jean-Luc dies since Henri had been banished he can' have the thrown. But ah jus' can' take that responsibility. Ah want t' travel the world an' see things no other person has seen befo'…an' ah wanted t' see them with Remy, more than anything, but now ah realised that that can' b', because he's a Prince an' ah'm jus' a…a…"
'Princess!' thought Kitty, but she couldn't say that, not yet.
"…jus' a peasant gal." finished off Rogue.
"Oh but darling, you're much more than that." reassured Kitty.
"No ah'm not. T' you ah am but that's because you're family, in a way, but t' other people ah'm jus' a girl who is odd…an' broke a spell an' fell in love." sighed Rogue.
"What more could a person want Rogue?" asked Kitty.
"Look ah jus' can' do this…but ah can' leave Remy, ah love Remy so much…oh Kitty what can ah do!" Rogue flung herself into Kitty's arms.
"For once child I don't know. All I can say is, follow you're heart…"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next morning Rogue woke up and looked at the sleeping Remy. He was so peaceful, so cute. She loved him so much.
'But how can ah b' with him when ah am havin' second thoughts. Ah can' b' a queen o' France, ah jus' can' b'…maybe 'f ah was born into that sort o' family ut the thang is ah'm not. Urr! Ah jus' wish he didn' have t' b' King, an' he could come with me…wherever ah went…' Rogue thought. She got up slowly only to be caught by Remy and pushed back on the bed.
"Swamp rat!" Rogue shouted. Remy got on top of her and started to laugh.
"What river rat?"
"What d'ya think you're doin'?" she asked him.
"Lovin' ya." Rogue laughed nad smiled ay him.
"You can b' such a charmer sometimes." she said to him.
"Only fo' you mon amour." he kissed her forehead and her face down to her neck. She started to laugh when he kissed her neck, which made im smile. "T'night chere, we'll have a feast t' celebrate all o' dis."
"All o' what?"
"Your family mah family, us…together again." Rogue laughed.
"All right sugah." said Rogue. 'How could ah not spend the rest o' mah life without this man, ah love him an' ah want t' b' with him."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Late night had come and the whole kingdom watched as the Feast began. Everyone was invited, even peasants. Everyone felt the joy of the night, the love in the air…it was going to be a fantastic night. Fireworks blasted into the air, people danced and laughed, eat and drank. Everyone was just having pure fun.
Suddenly a horn was heard. Remy stood up on the stage dragging Rogue up with him. Rogue was wearing a white dress with light blue on it. Remy spoke loud so everyone could hear him.
"Listen up everyone, I jus' wanna say dat 'f it weren't fo' Rogue, I wouldn' b' here t'night wit' you wonderful people, wit' m kingdom. An' now infront o' you all, t' show mah eternal love fo' mah Rogue…" Remy walked over to Rogue and lightly got her one hand in his and got down on one knee, "…Rogue, you're mahlife now an' i can' t'ink o' a life wit' out you…will you do de honour o' bein mah Queen?" He held out a small velvet box with a beautiful amethyst ring.
Rogue gased as did most people, but hers was not out of joy. Of course she was happy, but she wasn't sure she was ready to be his Queen…she just didn't know what to do.
Remy started to look worried and Rogue looked at him. Tears were rolling down her eyes. She had a sad expression on her face, knowing that her life would never be the same again.
"No." she said. Everyone gasped in horror. Remy's heart basically stopped. "Remy ah love you, but ah'm not ready t' b' yaw Queen."
Everyone looked at her and the face Remy displayed. He was hurt, shocked, and dead inside.
"Please Remy, you have t' understand…ah love you so much, but I'm jus' not ready t' take this step. An' that's why I cannot stay with you anymore. Ah need t' get away from life fo' a while…ah want t' live it, 'coz ah haven't done that yet…" Rogue explained
Remy just looked into her emerald eyes and new the truth. Tears tried to escape from his eyes but he held them back, he knew that he would not cry again. He stood up and walked through the crowd, not bothering if he bumped into someone. Rogue looked at him go and put her hand on her head. She then stood up and walked in the other direction.
The three fairies looked at each other in shock and new what was going through their minds. They also walked out, but went inside a small room.
"Oh my, poor Prince Remy." said Jean.
"I know, but boy Rogue gave him a good talking like too." said Kitty.
"SO what are we going to do?" asked Jean.
"I know this sounds a bit…dumb. But even though Rogue loves Remy, he may not be the true love she needs. The spell is that of true loves kiss will break the spell, Remy may not be it. I know they are betrothed, even though they do not know this, but maybe that isn't the true love." explained Ororo.
"So what do you suggest?" asked Jean.
"I suggest my dear, that we wipe her memory clean of this boy." Kitty gasped.
"But you can't like do that, she loves him."
"Haven't you listened to a word I've just said?" asked Ororo.
"Yes but, there in love."
"But it cannot be true love if she refuses his proposal." pointed out Ororo.
"I like, guess so. But you must wipe out Remy's too." said Kitty.
"I can't do that to Remy." said Ororo.
"Why not?" asked Jean.
"Because being the Beast and learning of love has taught him a lesson, he knows how to love, and I cannot do that to him. He doesn't know that Rogue is the Princess, and nor shall he know."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"…an' now you want t' erase Rogue's? No!" shouted Remy. "I love her, I don' wan' 'er t' forget moi! Why d you wan; 'er memories erased o' 'er, why have you done dis!"
"Remy, for now we cannot tell you." said Ororo.
"We did it because she loves you but wants to forget you." said Kitty. Ororo shoved Kitty with her elbow. "I don't want him to get hurt."
"Listen we're doing it for her, please Remy, I know you love her, but she needs a life. You know how much she wants to travel, how can she do that with you in her head?" asked Ororo.
"I guess so…but will she forget moi…totally?" he asked.
"I'm afraid so…" said Jean.
"But will she b' happy?" asked Remy.
"Yes, more happier than ever." saidKitty.
"…It kills moi t; say dis…very well den."
"Remy!" shouted a voice. Rogue came through the doors. "Hey what are ya'll three doin' in 'ere?" asked Rogue.
"We had to ask Remy an important question." said Kitty.
"Well 'f ya'll don' mind ah need t' talk t' Remy privately please."
"No, we will stay here, but go ahead." Rogue looked at them confused but shook it ogg and knelled down and looked up to him as he was sat on the bed.
"Remy ah love you an' ah'm so sorry, ah do wan't' spend the rest o' mah life with you. Ah changed mah mind, ah wanna b' you're Que…" suddenly pink magic started to go around her. Rogue and Remy looked at it amazed. She then looked at Remy and saw his image fade away. She fainted backwards onto the floor.
"What did you do!" shouted Remy as he ran over to her. "She wanted t' marry moi!"
"I'm sorry Remy. If you ever need us we will be in the Forest of Ravens, near the castle of King Logan and his Queen Raven. But now, we must go." Ororo said as she used her magic to make him unconscious, he wouldn't forget anything; he would just be sleep for a week or so. The three fairies vanished with the unconscious Rogue…and vanished out of Remy's life…forever?
