Hello everybody!
How are you all doing? It was my last day at college as a first year, woohoo! 10 whole weeks to do exactly what I want!
I know I haven't updated Blood Connections this week and I really should be doing that now but I need to get this chapter out first.
Thank you for all your reviews, they meant a lot to me, especially as I wasn't happy with the last chapter.
REVIEW RESPONSES.
FluidDegree: I don't know if the next chapter is what you envisioned for the baby story but hey you might like it! It does bite Rogue on the butt...kind of. Thanks for the review.
Chicita: Dennis the Menace? huh, i see where you're coming from, i've never thought of it that way! Glad you liked the baby rumour. Thanks for the review!
Sweety8587: A new brain has been ordered for Kitty, it should arrive after this stroy ha finished. Glad you liked last chapter. Thanks for the review!
Kyo-Kitty. I don't plan these chapters out, (i know i'm supposed to but how much time do think i have?). I just write what's in my head and it eventually draws itself to the end. Don't worry though, i can't see this one finishing for another 6 or 7 chapters yet. Thanks for the review!
addtothenoise: Thanks for the review. I'm glad you liked it.
WolveGambit: Glad you like it and are 'getting a kick' out of it. Thanks for thereview.
Disclaimer: Do I really have to put this? Huff…O.k. I don't own anything you recognise here o.k.?
"Type type type" thought of a character.
To the family and friends of all those killed, and all those injured in yesterdays bombing, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Chapter 8
Remy still hadn't found Rogue, it was an hour after learning that bit of information and he was still finalising his plans for blackmail. All he had to do was find his victim.
"Bonjour Scotty! Have you seen Rogue today?"
"Ugh, no. You bothering her again?"
Maybe he'd made a mistake asking Scott, as soon as Remy mentions any of the girls; Scott turns into this over protective, brother type figure.
"Moi? Never! Remy jus' wanted to go over names wit' his chere."
"Names for what?"
"Remy have to go now…if you see chere, tell her Remy isn' looking for her."
"O…K."
Remy ran out of the room leaving a very confused Scott and St. John behind.
"Hey, Pyro…does he seem weird to you?"
"Positively uncanny my friend."
"Yeah…right." "I need to get out before I turn insane like them!"
XxXxXxX
"Tape t'ingamajig, Remy can't find Rogue anywhere! He's looked in all de corners of de mansion an' all de other depressin' places too but she isn' dere! If Remy can't fin' her he can' force her to go out on a date an' the world as we know it will end! Dun dun dun! CoughCough, sorry, Remy was watching de Sci-fi channel las' night. Anywho. ..Remy needs to fin' Rogue before 8:00p.m. 'Cus Remy made reservations at de restaurant weeks ago, presumptuous Remy knows. YES! Todays word from de calendar properly in a sentence an' it's caught on de tape!"
XxXxXxX
"O.K, he'll nevah think to look for me here. Ah think I'm safe. If he asks, you haven't seen meh o.k. Jean?"
"Sure. Have fun!"
"Yeah right!"
Jean laughed as she drove off leaving Rogue stranded at the mall, a place for preps, valleys and generally happy people.
"Yep, he'll neveh think of this!"
After five whole minutes of staring at the automatic doors Rogue finally gathered enough strength to step foot through them and into the world of anti-depression. Everywhere she looked people were smiling and laughing,
"Except in that corner next to all that throw up…ah'm not that desperate yet!"
"O.K, where do ah go now? Oh look! Food! Let's go there!"
Rogue marched straight over to the little indoor café, ignoring all the looks and sniggers she received from 'the beautiful people'.
"Hey!" Rogue cringed, that voice could only belong to the head cheerleader of Bayville High, oh, and there's her boyfriend too! "Skirt, tights, sweater, gloves, white skin, well, well, well, looks like the Goth has finally discovered a life outside four walls!"
"Hey to you too. Short skirt, Short top, too much make-up and no sun-screen, well, well, well, look whose going to develop wrinkles and skin cancer bah the time they're thirty!"
Laughing at the angry, upset expression on the girls face, and the over sized boy trying to comfort her, she carried on towards the café.
"O.k. that was a little mean but come on she deserves it! And for such a quick come back, ah deserve a huge chocolate ice-cream!"
She was just about to enter the door when a voice startled her.
"Now dat wasn' very nice chere! All dat effort! She wanted you to say at least twenty years old!"
"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?"
A group of 'older' women looked over at the pair, letting there disapproving glares fall onto Remy. Immediately he put his arm around her shoulder.
"Don' mind us, she jus' be a little hormonal expectin' her first baby an' all."
Now it was Rogues turn to feel the power of 'the glare.' Angrily, she shoved Remys arm off her and turned to face him.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"You mean it's not true chere! How could you lie?"
"Ah have no idea what you are talking about Swamp Rat!"
"Chere! You told Remy you were pregnant! You lied!"
"Ah didn't tell Remy anything!"
"That's not what Kitty said!"
Rogue realised what he was talking about and turned a fetching shade of red under her white foundation.
"Ah can't believe she took me seriously. That girl is so dim!"
"Come on chere. We've done our show for today, le's go somewhere a little more quiet."
"Oh yeah 'cus ah can trust you!"
Remy was already dragging her back outside and onto a bench.
"So, when's it due chere?"
"Shut up."
He laughed. "Remy'll make you a deal, you come out to dinner wit' Remy tonight or…"
"Or what Cajun?"
"Or everybody'll find out about your 'condition' starting wit' Logan."
"Nice try at blackmail Cajun."
"Did it work?"
"No. a) do ah look pregnant to you…think very wisely or else!
B) Duh…mah powers.
C) No one would believe ah actually slept with you!"
"O.K. chere, Remy sees where you comin' from mais
A) Remy is not even goin' to attemp' to answer dat, everytin' he say will be wrong.
B) Remy be very imaginative an' everybody knows it.
C) Way harsh chere, Remy is wounded. Wounded!"
"Rogue doesn't care. Ah'm going home now, tell as many people as you want. Who are they going to believe, their very own team mate or a guy who used to be an Acolyte?"
"Hmm, well let's even it out. You come to dinner wit' Remy anyway."
"What? How is dat evening things out?"
"Remy'll let you pay!"
"Gee thanks. My dream has come true!"
"So you do dream of Remy!"
Rogue sighed and got up, starting her long walk back to the mansion.
"Rogue! Rogue? Is dat a yes?"
