To Make A Wish
Chapter 7: I Want To Go Back
There was no way that things could be anymore different than before Rogue made the wish. I mean Jean was marrying Remy for Pete's sake. It was absolutely terrifying. It really was. How could one person's wish change the entire world. It was one single tiny wish. Or was it?
"How can Ah make this go back to the way it was before?" Rogue asked herself. She finally realized that she didn't want this. She wanted Gambit, not Scott. She didn't want to hate Jean anymore, surprisingly. She just wanted everything to be normal. She wanted to be 16 again and be back in high school. She wanted to be her again, even if it did mean losing the ability to touch.
Wishing is an extremely foolish thing to do sometimes. It means you're ungrateful for the things you have. If it comes true it makes you realize how much you loved something and hate yourself for trading it away. That's how Rogue feels now, and it's tearing her apart.
"Hey you ok?" Kurt asked his sister. He was worried, even though they weren't blood related they still technically brother and sister. You see Kurt is Mystique's son and Rogue is her adopted sister, and they're all related to Graydon Creed, head honcho at the Friends of Humanity whose father is Sabertooth, so that makes Sabertooth Kurt and Rogue's step father, I think. Yeah who cares because that has absolutely nothing to do with this story.
"Kurt Ah made a big mistake," she said not looking at him.
"Vhat do you mean?" he asked her scared.
"You see, we all went to Rome, but before all that Scott was going out with Jean and they were so in love it would make you want to puke! Then Ah decided to make a wish at the Trevi Fountain and it came true. That's why Jean's getting married to Remy instead of Scott and Ah can touch people and Ah want everything to go back to normal because now I think that Ah've fallen in love with Remy," she said in one long breath.
"Vell that's interesting. Are you sure zhat you're feeling alright?" he asked her placing a three fingered hand on her forehead.
"Ah feel fine Kurt. We have to tell everyone so that we can put this all back to the way it used to be! That way Ah can tell Remy how much Ah love him and Jean and Scott can get back together and make everyone sick and this time Ah swear that Ah'll never make another wish for as long as Ah live!" Rogue told him.
"Hank! I think zhat Rogue has gone crazy or somezing," Kurt yelled.
"Kurt how many times must we tell you that just because people say things that you might not want to hear, doesn't mean we're insane," Hank told him simply.
"But she's talking crazy talk!" Kurt yelled.
"That's what you said about Alex when he told you that Gut Bombs were discontinued," Hank told him.
"I refuse to believe the lies that the USDA feeds us about vhat ve should eat. Those Gut Bombs never did anyzing to anybody!" Kurt yelled.
"They caused 4 heart attacks in one month Kurt," Hank said.
"That's a lie!" Kurt said in denial.
"We have the medical reports on file," Hank told him.
"La la la la this isn't happening. La la la la this isn't happening," Kurt said in a fetal position. Hank and Rogue looked at each other.
"Well if that's all I think that I'll go back to my studies. I have a pressing matter to attend to," Hank said and went in the direction to the elevator.
"Why wont anyone believe me," Rogue said to herself stepping over her brother who was still trying to recover from Hanks remarks about his favorite food. Just then she noticed that Jean and Remy were walking her way. "Oh great. Just what Ah needed."
"Mornin' Cher," Gambit said to Rogue as they passed by. Rogue tried to say "Good Morning" back, however when she went so say it, nothing came out.
"I knew it!" Kitty shrieked behind her. "You so like him!"
"Kitty could you not yell that so that the whole dang world can hear!" Rogue snapped at her and went back to her room slamming it behind her.
"Geesh what's up with her!" Kitty yelled. She went down the great stair case. There she found Colossus walking with his nose in a book wearing a white t-shirt and a pair of jeans. "Wow," she said to herself.
"Oh hello comrade," Colossus said to her looking up from his book. Kitty did nothing but smile.
"Great he thinks me nothing more than a friend!" she thought bitterly to herself. It was then that she realized that she was just standing there smiling like a psychotic person. "Say something you spaz! Say anything! Anything! Anything! Anything!" "You look so totally hot today and I would like be so luck to be your girlfriend!" she yelled at him. She yelped and quickly clamped her hands on her mouth. She ran down the stairs pushed past him and locked herself in the library. Colossus just stood there in shock.
"Mein Freund, was ist los?" Kurt asked him walking in the front door.
"I don't know," Colossus answered him still with the stunned yet very happy look on his face. "I think that I'm going to go eat a muffin though."
"I vouldn't do zhat," Kurt told him. "Kitty just baked those last night, vhich means, if even possible, zhat zhey are even more inedible Zhan zhey vere before."
"I know," Colossus said and walked to the kitchen in a trance like state.
"Alex!" Kurt yelled when he saw the blonde surfer walk out of the dining room. "Somezhing is vrong vit Colossus! He's going to commit suicide!"
"Dude like what are you talking about?" Alex asked him. "Kitty's not allowed to drive anybody's care for like two months. Remember?"
"No it's vorse zan zhat!" Kurt yelled.
"What could be worse than getting into a car with Kitty?" Alex asked him.
"He's going to eat one of her muffins!" Kurt yelled grabbing the collar of his shirt.
"We have to go save him," Alex said running into the kitchen. When they got there Colossus was just about to take a bite out of his muffin when:
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Kurt and Alex yelled and dived for the muffin in slow motion. They hit the cold hard linoleum with a loud thud.
"What are you two doing?" Colossus asked him.
"Saving your life!" Kurt yelled at him.
"Don't you know anything! Kitty's muffins are more deadly than Kurt's Gut Bombs!" Alex yelled.
"I told you those Gut Bombs never did anything to anybody!" Kurt yelled.
"Which is why they were discontinued," Alex said. Colossus sighed and left them both to argue over the two most deadly foods known in the evolution universe.
Sorry it took so long. Unexpected thing you know how it is. So I hope you like the ending that I have chosen though some readers might not. I hope you like it. Really I do. So I guess until next time.
