It was the perfect setting, she dreamt of herself and Remy sitting on the beach. The wave coming up the shore every now and then, while the sun began to set. Her head was rested on his chest as his arms circled around her waist. His bare skin touching hers and she did not absorb him.
A smile was on Rogue's face as she turned on her side in her sleep. How she wished it was true in reality and not just a dream. Ever since she had met Remy she had been having dreams like this one of them being able to touch. The first night she met him she was a bit freaked that he appeared, but it was one of the best things that had ever happened to her.
Remy watched her sleep peacefully, wondering of what made her so happy to have a smile on her face. 'She deserves to be happy after what she's been through.' He thought to himself as he watched her.
Every now and then students would come into the room to see if she was awake, when they saw she was asleep still they left, not wanting to disturb her. Some of them brought more flowers for her and left them by the night stand or on the flower by her bed.
He heard the Professor and Scott enter the room. "Did you contact her family?" Scott asked the Professor as he picked up Carol's unconscious body.
"Yes I did, they said they didn't know what I was speaking of and said they didn't have a daughter." Xavier said sadly. He shook his head. "This is my fault, I should of tried to reach out to her. Maybe if I had, then she wouldn't of made Rogue's life miserable and would of never absorbed herself into Rogue." Xavier looked down and closed his eyes.
"It's not your fault, Professor. Everytime I, or any of the other teachers tried to talk to her, she ignored us and walked off. Also the last meeting you had with her, she rolled her eyes and yawned and kept saying she would not do anything like that again." Scott said in the Professor's defense. There was nothing anyone could of done to make Carol understand that her behavior had been unacceptable.
Xavier looked at his first student and nodded. "Hopefully she will be able to recover and be able to live a happier life instead of the one she has had." Xavier said as he turned his wheelchair around and started wheeling to the door.
"Well at least the hospital will be able to give her the care she needs." Scott told the Professor, who nodded in agreement. They both left the room.
Remy turned his gaze back to Rogue. He began to think about what the Professor had just said. 'Marie deserves a happier life too.' He thought to himself. 'What kind of life can we really have?' He began thinking back to their situation.
'She may not be able to touch skin, but Remy can't even touch anything without passin' through it.' He sighed as he placed his hands in his pockets.
"I see she is resting?" Remy heard Jean say as she appeared next to him in a flash of white light.
"Oui, she been out for a few hours now." Remy answered her, not looking at her, his eyes still fixed on Rogue.
Jean smiled down at Rogue, pleased to see that her former student was out of danger. "This is the happiest I think I've seen her." Jean commented, Remy nodded. A small smile spread across his lips.
"She should be happy after all she been through." Remy said, finally looking at Jean. She could feel that he was troubled. She placed a hand on his shoulder.
"What I had said before, keep that in mind." Jean said with a smile before disappearing. Remy only looked confused.
"What would dat be?" He asked, hoping Jean would answer him, but she never did. He sighed in disappointment and looked back down at Rogue. 'Seriously chere, what life can Remy really give y'? He can' even touch and y' de only one dat sees him.' He thought to himself.
'She be de only woman dat ever made moi feel like dis.' He thought to himself as he ran a hand through his hair. 'But she deserves to be happy and have a normal life. Mebbe it be better if she finds someone else.' He thought to himself.
Rogue had been sleeping peacefully, until a loud crack of thunder awoke her. Her eyes snapped open and saw that the thunder even startled Remy. "What de hell was dat?" He asked her.
Rogue sat up in the bed and rubbed her eyes. "Ah guess Miss. Munroe found out about her flowers gettin picked." Rogue said with a half smile. She then looked around the room and found there was even more flowers there than before.
"Some kids came in and dropped dem off for y'." Remy said, taking away her confusion. Rogue looked surprised. She knew they had felt bad about what they had all done to her, but she never thought that this many people would of felt bad. She had thought for sure that some people would still think she was out to drain them.
She pulled the cover off her and swung her legs to the side of the bed. "Ah've had enough sleep, Ah don't need ta be in here anymore." Rogue said as she placed her feet on the floor.
"Y'll be alright, chere?" Remy asked concerned, he didn't want her to get out of bed if she wasn't feeling up to it. Then again, he hoped she was up for it, something about being in a lab gave him the creeps.
"Don't ya start with that too." She said to him as she stood up from the bed. Just then Kurt bamfed into the med lab. "Ah'm fine." She cut Kurt off before he got a chance to speak.
"Actually I can here to say you could leave." He told her as he walked over to her and pulled the IV out of her hand. "By ze way, you now have a roommate." He told her, but before she could ask who she was sharing a room with he bamfed out of the med lab.
"Chere, dere is somethin' dat Remy been meanin' to talk to y' about." He began to say, but when he saw Rogue look at him, he couldn't tell her.
"What is it sugah?" She asked as she placed a band-aid that was in the drawer of the night on her arm where the IV was pulled out. It had bled a bit after it had been pulled out, but not too badly.
"Gambit just happy y'r okay." Remy told her. It was true he was happy she was okay, but he didn't know how to tell her that maybe she should find someone else to be with. Someone that she could touch and everyone was able to see, but when he looked into her emerald green eyes, he couldn't tell her.
Rogue smiled at him. "Thanks sugah." She said to him. 'What was he goin ta tell meh? It looked like he was gonna say somethin' else.' Rogue thought to herself as he stared at Remy and then turned to the door.
"Well time ta find out who the new roommate is." She told him. She walked out the door, he followed beside her.
"Dis gonna change things, cher." He said as they waled down the hallway of the lower level and to the elevator.
"What do ya mean?" She asked him as she pushed the button and waited for the elevator to arrive.
"Before we were able to talk in y'r room because no one was dere. Gambit thinks dat y'r roommate might be a bit freaked if dey say y' talking to de air." He told her, the elevator arrived and the doors opened. They both stepped onto the elevator and the doors closed behind them and went to the upper level.
"Yeah, Ah guess, but there are plenty of places where there is no one around. Ah can still talk to ya there." She told him. "And besides, Ah doubt mah roommate is gonna be spendin all their time in the room." She said to him.
"Quick question, is dere anyone else y' absorbed in y'r past?" He asked her, she looked at him a bit confused. "So we don' get another Carol." He added in, making her understand what he was saying.
"There was Magneto, though Ah doubt the Professor would let him move in." She said to Remy. "Also there was John, but the Professor has a strict rule of girls share a room and boys share a room. So Ah guess the new student is a girl." She said to Remy.
"Dere's a relief." He said as the elevator doors opened up. 'At least she ain' sharin' a room with a guy.' He thought to himself. 'Den again, not much y' can do to stop him if he falls for her.' He thought to himself as he walked out of the elevator with Rogue. 'Her roommate is a fille, so dat won' be happenin'.'
"Hey Rogue." They were both greeted by Kitty, Piotr, Warren, and Betsy. "How are you feeling?" Betsy asked Rogue.
Rogue smiled. "Ah'm doin better, thanks." She said to Betsy. "Ah got some homework ta catch up on, Ah'll talk ta ya guys later." She said to them. She didn't have homework to do, she just wanted to leave to see who she was sharing a room with.
"Alright, see ya later." Kitty said to her with a smile. "We're on our way to check on Bobby." She told Rogue.
"If he is awake, tell him Ah said for him ta get better." She told them.
"Don't worry, we will." Warren said to her as the four of them began to leave. Rogue and Remy continued on their way to Rogue's room.
There seemed to be no one in the halls, which was odd since most of the time they were crowded. "Ah guess people decided ta make the most of it since there was no class today." Rogue said as they began going up the stairs.
"Dat or dey took de new kid out to celebrate dem bein' 'ere.' Remy said as they reached the top of the stairs. They passed by rooms, some of them were empty. Others had people in them talking, they would look up from their conversation and smile at Rogue as she passed by.
"Never thought getting attention could become creepy." She whispered to herself, but loud enough for Remy to hear.
"Dey just want to make sure y' know dey are sorry." Remy mimicked what the kids had been saying to her in the card and what they had told her. Rogue looked at him and he just smiled innocently at her. She shook her head and smiled back, she couldn't stay mad at that face.
They entered her room to find another bed next to hers. A suitcase was on top of the bed and clothes were spread out on the floor before the bed and on it. "Ah guess they are not one for bein' clean." Rogue commented as she looked at the pile of clothes.
She look at her dresser to find a familiar pair of sunglasses sitting next to the pictures she had. "No." She said, Remy looked confused at her.
"What is it, chere?" He asked her. She just shook her head and began to answer him.
"This is not a new student." She said as she looked and found a yellow jacket hanging on the door to the bathroom.
"Y' know dis person?" He asked her, not sure if she was happy or not about who her roommate was.
"Yeah, Ah know them." She said as she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and her eyes went wide.
"Long time no see girl!" Her roommate yelled as she ran over to hug Rogue. Rogue hugged her back.
"Oh mah god, Jubilee, what are ya doin here? Ah thought ya were stayin' in California." Rogue said with a huge grin across her face.
"Eh, it was okay. I just got so sick of the job and my manager there was such a jerk so I told him he could screw himself and he fired me. I had already called the Professor then and told him I wanted to come back to the mansion. Besides Wolvie is back." Jubilee explained happily as she released Rogue from the hug.
"So y'r back then? For good?" She asked Jubilee.
"Yep, Ah'm back for good. Also I heard what happened with you and Carol, are you okay?" Jubilee asked, concern filled her eyes.
"Yeah Ah'm fine." Rogue replied to Jubilee.
"Good." Jubilee said as she swung a arm around Rogue's shoulder. Remy smiled at the two of them. He remembered Rogue telling him about Jubilee and how she always had been there for her when she was at the mansion.
'Guess now she really doesn't need moi.' He thought to himself, but kept the smile on his face, hiding what he felt.
End of Chapter 19- next chapter- Card Tricks and Disappearing Acts-
Elle457: I had a few ideas of what I had wanted to happen, just had a hard time deciding which one to pick, but after a few adjustments, finally got it decided. So glad ya are still enjoying the story and it gets better. Thanks for reviewing
Chica De Los Ojos Café: well as ya see, the new person, isn't really new at all. I think it got ppl curious of who it was going to be though , and as for Bobby asking Rogue out, erm not spoilin, but u are correct (okay so I spoiled it, but it was going to come sooner or later anyways. Thanks for reviewing
silverbells: I didn't really know who to show Storm when she saw the flowers gone, so I decided the thunder was better way of showing it. Also the new student, is more like a old student, also its better bringing Jubes in since she has only been mentioned and she has talked to Rogue, instead of bringing in someone new. Thanks for reviewing
WolvGambit Le Diable Blanc: there are two problems with raising him from the dead, one kinda don't have a person who can do it, well I know of someone, but they are evil. And two he is suppose to be helping Rogue so he can get into heaven, it wouldn't set well with Jeannie if he got brought back from the dead, but there are ways around everything. thanks for reviewing
kyo-kitty: I know I heard of the Rogue/Bobby/Kitty triangle, I say break em up and let Bobby go with Kitty and let Rogue go with Remy, it works much better. Also I think its time that they use someone other than Magneto in the movie, there are plenty more villians out there! Thanks for reviewing
FluidDegree: there is plenty more Romy coming up, well soon, I am working on a HUGE romy chapter, which I have been working on for. . . about almost 2 months, still hasn't come out the way I want it (cries), but as for the rest of the students, they all shall be very, Very, nice to Rogue. Thanks for reviewing
dreamer's dawn: lol, I don't remember saying it was a new student, if I did I gotta change it. I wanted to have Jubes back to make Rogue happy, (side note: Rogue completely happy, not good for Remy) thanks for reviewing
sakura5tar: hehe not really a new student, more like a returning student. Also as for the ending being happy, I make no promises on anything I've decided, I'll let the cards decide for me. Thanks for reviewing.

enchantedlight: glad ya liked the chapter, thanks for reviewing
bored247: not a new person, more like a old person, next chapter is happy, he doesn't get to touch, well except for the end, that is kinda sad. Thanks for reviewing
Jinxeh: actually u were correct, it was Jubilee. As for the teachers, there is nothing for them to do for Carol, thats why they are sending her to a hospital for her to recover, so she can get the attention she needs. As for Rogue using the new powers, she only used them in her mind and thats probably all she will be using of them in the story. ThoughI did note down for whenI go back and revise thisto make Rogue a little sympathictowards Carol. Thanks for reviewing

A.M.bookworm247: hehe, new person doesn't really bring to much Drama, more happiness though for Rogue, which in turn is not good for Remy . And no need to worry about me not updatin, I plan on doin it as fast as I can . Thanks for reviewing
