RH7:
Rogue signed onto AIM and started up a conversation with some of the brotherhood members.
UNTCHABLICQUEEN(1): Hey ya'll
WALKINGDESASTER(2): Hey Marie, how is it at Xavier's?
UNTCHABLICQUEEN: All right, can't complain much. Who are u holding up?
WALKINGDESASTER: We're okay, don't know about the rest of the guys.
WALKINGDESASTER: it's not the same without u here
UNTCHABLICQUEEN: Ah miss ya'll too. But my place wasn't there; it's not really here either. I so confused right now
WALKINGDESASTER: about what? Don't u want to be there?
GODSGIFT2WEMON(3): We could really use your help here
UNTCHABLICQUEEN: Violet still having nightmares?
GODSGIFT2WEMON: Yes and I can't calm her down like you can, how do you do it?
UNTCHABLICQUEEN: Mothers touch, and Lance I honestly don't know where ah want to be
GODSGIFT2WEMON: anyway you can teach me this 'mothers touch'?
WALKINGDESASTER: no that's why it's called a mothers touch. Could u talk to Xavier for us and see if we can get the kids enrolled?
UNTCHABLICQUEEN: Ah would want ya'll to come also.
GODSGIFT2WEMON: we'd cause too much trouble
WALKINGDESASTER: I'd have to agree with speedy. I don't think we'd be readily accepted by all of the occupants.
UNTCHABLICQUEEN: Why? B/C you're working for dad to survive and raise your kids?
WALKINGDESASTER: Yeah, Scott and Jean ring any bells? Not to mention I haven't spoken to kitty since we broke up all those years.
GODSGIFT2WEMON: that and Wanda probably hates my guts for not talking to her for the past couple of years.
HEXINGWITCH87(4): I don't hate you brother; I'm just annoyed.
GODSGIFT2WEMON: hey Wanda what's up?
HEXINGWITCH87: nm, when can we get together for a visit?
WALKINGDESASTER: should be soon, no one can get along w/out Marie. Kids need her
UNTCHABLICQUEEN: have them call me, when u get home that is, and we could do weekly visits or something.
GODSGIFT2WEMON: Could you really? That would be great for Violet.
UNSTOPABLEBLOB(5): yeah I agree Emily misses u
TOADMASTER(6): yeah yo so does Nora
UNTCHABLICQUEEN: brb someone knocking on my door
Rogue walked out of her bedroom and answered her door. There was a younger girl standing there. "Miss Darkholm, can I talk to you?" She asked, Rogue nodded and let the girl enter the living room.
"My name is Mary… I was wondering if… we could talk about how much I miss my mommy." Mary said sadly.
"Sure sugah, Where is she?" Mary pointed towards the sky. "She's in heaven? Well that's a good place for her to be isn't it?" Mary nodded silently. "What do you miss about her?"
"The way she used to tuck me in at night, and the way she smelled like Vanilla." Mary said quietly.
"How did she tuck ya in sugah?" Rogue asked.
"Like I would fall out of bed, blankets tucked in securely, but I can't make the bed just right and the other girls laugh at me." Rogue felt her heart going out to the small girl. She stood up and held out her hand. "Where are we going?" Mary asked.
"Ta see if Ah can fix yer blankets the way ya need them." Rogue said grabbing her keys and closing the door behind her. "Lead meh ta yer room." Rogue said softly. Mary started pulling on her and Rogue calmly followed.
"This is it. Mine's the one in the corner by the window." Mary said pulling Rogue into a room with three other girls. Mary let go of her hand and ran towards her bed. "Mama made hospital corners. Can ya make them?"
Rogue smiled, "Tight enough ta bounce a quarter a foot in the air sugah." Rogue said kneeling down by Mary's bed. "Pay close attention okay?"
"Oh yes ma'am." The other three girls walked over and watched as Rogue fixed the corners, and tightly tucked the sheet around. After she was done Rogue fished a quarter out of her pocket and bounced it on the sheets.
"Wow! Could you help me with my sheets to Miss Darkholm?" Another girl asked. "Sure, but when it falls out Ah want ya ta try an' fix it. Deal?" The other three girls nodded excitedly and ran to their beds. Rogue fixed each of their beds and learned about them. They thanked her and climbed into bed, tucking themselves into bed. Rogue smiled and turned out the lights on her way out.
UNTCHABLICQUEEN: I'm back, one of the students didn't know who to do hospital corners and wanted it to be like her mother did it.
UNSTOPABLEBLOB: When can you get together?
UNTCHABLICQUEEN: probably this weekend if nothings going on. After all I'm back in the saving the world.
TOADMASTER: such a bad career, being a troublemaker is so much more fun.
UNTCHABLICQUEEN: being a troublemaker is what got me stuck in New Orleans, although I could go for the once and a while troublemaking.
HEXINGWITCH87: LOL Marie, yeah the once and a while is fun. Which student?
UNTCHABLICQUEEN: Mary Zechariah.
HEXINGWITCH87: we've been trying to get her to talk to us for a while but she doesn't want to talk. U really are a miracle here.
WALKINGDESASTER: Wanda told us about ur success with the music class.
GODSGIFT2WEMON: I must say I'm impressed with you little sister
UNTCHABLICQUEEN: BLUSH really, it was no big deal. Gtg my kids are back from Uncle Kurt's and they want ice cream. Love ya all!
UNTCHABLICQUEEN HAS SIGNED OFF
Rogue got her kids ice cream and told them that they could watch a movie before bedtime. They excitedly picked out 'Robin Hood' the Disney version, and watched it like they'd hadn't seen it before. Rogue read through some more of her repots and drank a calming cup of tea.
Rogue heard the ending credits and got up from the kitchen table. Peaking into the living room, she found Jason nodding off and Kat asleep on the couch. She tucked Jason in first then went back out for Kat. Who didn't even stir when Rogue picked her up or tucked her under the blankets.
UNTCHABLICQUEEN HAS SIGNED BACK ON:
GODSGIFT2WEMON: you're the only one who can help me! Violet wont go back 2 sleep.
UNTCHABLICQUEEN: call my cell and let me talk to her.
GODSGIFT2WEMON: Thank you hang on
Rogue picked up her cell phone on the first ring. "Auntie Marie, I's had dat bad dream again." Violet said in a quiet voice.
"Ah know sugah, Pie told meh. Do ya want ta talk about it?" Rogue asked.
"When are you coming back?" Violet asked worriedly. "You are coming back right?"
"Yeah sugah, Ah'll come fo' a visit this weekend. How does that sound?" Rogue said.
"But what ifs my dream comes back an' you not here" Violet asked.
"Ya have a music box, that carries our tune, maybe ya could teach the words ta yer father and he can help ya." Rogue suggested.
"But that's our song! Daddy can't share it!" Violet said getting angry.
"Sugah, don raise yer voice at meh. Ah'm only tryin' ta help. Why don' Ah suggest ta Pie that you two go find a movie and pick a song out of it, How does that sound?" Rogue asked trying to calm the girl down.
"Fine, but not our movie. Can yous sing the song though?" Violet asked.
"Sure, start the music box up and climb into bed." Rogue said. Hearing violet comply she listed to the music filter softly through the phone. Rogue softly sang along with the music box until she heard Violets breathing even out.
UNTCHABLICQUEEN: Pie go get ur phone but be quiet Violets asleep.
GODSGIFT2WEMON: thanks Marie. When can we expect to see you?
UNTCHABLICQUEEN: sometime this weekend. What I suggested to Violet is that u 2 pick out a movie and pick one of the songs from it, u need 2 learn the words. So when she has that dream again u can comfort her.
GODSGIFT2WEMON: I can barely sing in the shower let alone to my daughter.
UNTCHABLICQUEEN: she wont care what ur voice sounds like, she'll care that ur trying to comfort her, that's all she wants.
GODSGIFT2WEMON: I can't carry a tune! How am I supposed to sing a song if I can't do that?
UNTCHABLICQUEEN: when u find a song, tell me and I'll order u a music box to sing along with. That's how I've done it.
GODSGIFT2WEMON: All right I'll give it a try. Why can't I just use the song you two have?
UNTCHABLICQUEEN: ask Violet. She'll give u an answer. I've got to turn in, tell everyone that I say g'night and I love them. Same goes 4 u bro.
