Hello!

This fic is untitled for now but it would be great if you could take part in the vote for the title! Reviews would be nice and I am accepting anonymous reviews too! Oh, All the characters have no accents since I refuse to destroy the southern accent, however, my best friend has started proof reading/editing this story and she has started putting a few in….if they're wrong blame her!

Disclaimer: I do not own the x-men, or anything you recognise here...pity :(

Sorry for the wait. I have been really ill….chronic illnesses suck big time! This chapter was written whilst under the influence of about five medicinal drugs…so basically it's gonna suck but I need to update!

Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter, I do not have enough time to respond at the minute so if you asked me a question and you want the answer or if you want to know the results of the poll to decide on the name of this story then see my profile and everything will be revealed!

NEW OPTION! SEE PROFILE!

Chapter 6

(Flashback: "Please chere, jus' think about it? It could work!" Rogue said nothing; she stood simply staring at Remy and the pained expression on his face. Realising defeat Remy's shoulders slumped.

"Come on chere, Remy'll take you back to school, you should be able to pretend that you've been there all day non?" Remy stood up, collecting all the empty bowls, wrapping them in the blanket and concealing them in the tree before stalking off towards the school.

Rogue watched as he did all this, silently contemplating his plea, summing up all the reasons why she should be with Remy and the numerous reasons why she shouldn't. Deciding on her answer Rogue got up off the ground and ran over to Remy's side, she linked her arm through his and looked up at him.

"It could work.")

Rogue had got back to school half an hour before the final bell of the day, she hadn't talked to Remy at all on the way back but they didn't have to say anything. Every so often, they would catch each other's glance and smile or Remy would take off her gloves and kiss her hands and then her cheek, not wanting to rush things and Rogue would try her best to stop blushing. It was the stuff out of Kitty's romance novels and T.V shows, the stuff that Rogue would make fun of whilst swearing to herself that she would never be one of those girls and yet here she was, smiling and blushing away, strolling along with her boyfriend.

"Wow that sounds weird! The untouchable has a boyfriend!"

The look on Remy's face when she had said "It could work" had been priceless, a perfect blend of shock and joy that she would have paid to see again. He had of course tried to convince her to stay out with him a little longer but if they wanted to remain a secret, she really needed to be back at school. So here she was, Remy had finally been persuaded to stay out of line of the school windows incase Scott or Jean just happened to be looking out. Nether the less, Remy had complained for 15 minutes using such lines as,

"Gentlemen should always walk a lady to the door after taking her out", but she had won out in the end compensating Remy with a goodbye kiss, which seemed to take up another 15 minutes. Blushing once more Rogue ran up the steps and down the corridor of her school planning to stay in the girl's bathroom for the remainder of the last lesson. However, she had forgotten one vital detail.

"The B.Bz!"

Surely they would have told everybody by now! According to their laws, a Goth…particularly a mutant Goth, was not allowed to have a good-looking boyfriend, especially a boy like Remy! It was one of the highest crimes, if you discounted your best friend wearing the same outfit as you on the same day that is. Rogue had prayed that the B.Bz would think of a way to separate her and Remy before their picnic but now she hoped for a big, yellow bus to suddenly appear out of nowhere and knock each pink pin down,

"No matter how many times Kitty makes me watch that film, that scene never gets old!"

Forgetting her little fantasy Rogue was desperately trying to think of a good lie, which would make everybody that mattered believe her story rather than theirs.

"Wait! I don't need to lie! I'm the untouchable, who would want to date me?" It was perfect; her powers were actually working to her advantage for once! Again, there seemed to be one incy problem,

"You're not as untouchable anymore and you can't lie about that when they find out plus Scott and Jean have already seen you with Remy!" O.K this wasn't going to be as easy as she thought.

"Oh who cares? You're not a child anymore no matter what Logan says. You have your own mind and you can make your own decisions….now I just have to remember this when I get pulled up in front of the professor!"

XXXXXXXXX

Mega short I know! Like I said at the beginning, I'm really ill at the moment and I'm currently under a load of medicine which is why this chapter is soooo crap! Hopefully my illness will go back to what it was like before and I'll be able to concentrate on what I'm actually writing rather than hallucinating about pink panthers climbing up my wall! Any way……now that you all think I'm crazy…J

The next chapter will be longer I promise! It's already written out in my notebook I just have to type it up! I'll probably get more done tomorrow.

Reviews would, as always, be greatly appreciated and I promise to respond next time!

My profile has been updated with new answers or results on the poll so far and such.

Really gotta go now

Yours always
