It was the middle of the night. About 4 am and these crazy people woke up
in an hour. Wanda thought as she made her way half asleep down the stairs
down into the kitchen. It was one of those late night urges you get and you
just need a drink of water. Her mouth was so dry and she knew she wouldn't
be able to get back to sleep with out it a drink. So here she was slowly
making her way down the stairs and threw the hall to the kitchen.
Dam this house was big and creepy at night she thought as she walked past the front door and turned to go into the kitchen. It was dark and she couldn't see a thing. She slowly glided her had over the wall to try and find the switch when the sound of some else already in the room made her freeze in her place. The other presence seemed to stop as well. Slowly she continued to search for the light switch and her hand lightly grazed over it. Bingo she thought.
She heard the other presence get slowly closer as she raised her other had ready to attack with a hex bolt when she flipped the switch. Okay she thought as she took a deep breath. Three, two, one! She flipped the switch.
" AHHH" Two girl like yells echoed threw out the halls. Both girls jumped back and Wanda brought her hand over her chest and looked to see who it was.
" Rogue?" She looked at the pale-faced Goth, she hardly recognized her with out her usual five-pound mask of make-up.
" Wanda?" She heard the girl ask back in a familiar position as her. Both girls looked shocked to see the other one.
" Dam don' do that to meh." Rogue said putting her hand over her chest. They looked at each other for a moment longer. " Ya know ya look different with all yar make-up." Rogue said grabbing a full glass of water from the counter and sitting down at table.
" Good different or bad different?" Wanda asked as she grabbed a glass from the cupboard. Like she cared Wanda told herself.
" Ah don' know jus' different." Rogue said dryly taking a sip of water.
" Huh." Wanda commented as she filled her glass with water. " I could say the same about you. Although I must say you look breath taking with out your make-up." Wanda told her, Rogue gave a small smile.
" Ya sound jus' lihke Remy." Rogue groaned, Wanda laughed as she took a seat next to Rogue at the table taking a sip of her water.
" Yeah he seems quite taken by you." Wanda commented casually taking a sip of water. " Do you feel the same?"
" Ah don' know. He hasn' bugged meh for three days so that could mean dat th' boy has found some sense." Rogue said trying to avoid making eye contact.
" Or his brain." Wanda added in trying to lighten the mood.
" True. Though he had no use for it. The boy gets by on his good looks alone." Rogue said with a sad smile Wanda could tell it was forced but she smiled a rare thing for her.
" I must admit and I swear to God you breath a word of this to anyone and I will deny it all and then hex you into next week. But." And there was a short pause there for dramatic effect. " He is REALLY good looking." Wanda said letting out a deep sigh as if it was the hardest thing to admit and it pretty much was.
Rogue just stared at her mouth slightly open and then she did something she hadn't done in a long time. She laughed. Wanda scowled at her for a moment and then began to join in and began to laugh as well. And were not talking small chuckle laughing or giggling which neither of them would ever do they just laughed their asses off.
After a few moments they calmed a bit. And Rogue was the first one to speak again. " Thank ya Ah needed that." Rogue said whipping her eyes were small tears had appeared.
" Don't mention it. Ever." Wanda told her a small glare coming from her eyes but it left as fast as it came.
" Promise. Scouts honor." Rogue said stifling a laugh as she raised her right hand up. Wanda let out a chuckle.
" Like you're a scout." Wanda said as she began to laugh all over again.
" Hey Ah'll have ya know Ah was in Girl Scouts for three years when Ah six till Ah was nine years-old." Rogue told her honestly.
" Are you kidding me?" Wanda asked looking somewhat disgusted.
" No. Honestly Irene made meh do it. She said it would help meh build 'character'." Rogue told her letting out a laugh. " Oh mah Gawd Ah've never told anyone that." Rogue thought out loud.
" Well it's not something I would brag about." Wanda told her finishing off her water.
" Oh come on. Ya have ta have some embarrassin' thing about your childhood ta share that ya don' want anyone else ta know. Ah need blackmail over ya." Rogue told her pointing an accusing finger at the Scarlet Witch.
" You already have it. Remember me saying that Remy was.You know." Wanda said gesturing with her hands afraid to repeat herself.
" Oh what afraid ta say it again are we?" Rogue asked fully catching on.
" No. I'm not afraid of anything." Wanda argued now on the defensive.
" Your afraid of getting' close ta Toad." Rogue said getting up and walking over to the fridge her destination was the freeze. " Chocolate or Strawberry?" Rogue asked.
" I am not afraid of getting close to Toad. Well yeah in a sense have you smelled the boy lately?" Wanda asked Rogue. Rogue nodded and held up the two pints of ice cream. She lifted the Chocolate above her head then put it down then raised the Strawberry in the same fashion. " Strawberry what else?" Wanda told her. Rogue nodded and brought both over to the table.
" Unfortunately Ah have smelled the boy. But Ah also know that ya are afraid ta get close ta him emotionally mind ya. Physically is just plain scary. " Rogue said as put the two ice cream cartons down.
" I hear that. But for the last three days Toad has kept his distance. It's nice" Wanda looked down at the pint of chocolate. "I said Strawberry." Wanda said as she grabbed the pint of Strawberry ripping off the top and digging into the frozen product. Her spoon barley broke a centimeter.
" Ah know. Ah wanted chocolate." Rogue told her forcing her spoon into her frozen ice cream.
" I don't understand you or anyone else that likes chocolate." Wanda told her as she took a bit of the small amount of frozen ice cream she managed to dig out.
" Well for meh you can take a number as fo' everyone else who cares." Rogue said gesturing with her spoon all around the room. Wanda let out a small chuckle.
" You know your one to talk about getting close to people Rogue." Wanda started taking a bite of ice cream. Rogue looked up from her ice cream to Wanda.
" Excuse meh?" Rogue asked.
" Well you spend all your time avoiding people and pushing them away. Your also pushing Remy away." Wanda said in a physiatrist manner.
" First off we are talking about your problems not mine at the moment. Second Ah push people and Remy away for a reason." Rogue said pointing her spoon at Wanda.
" Alright then. I push Toad away because." she paused to think of a reason. " Because."
" Because it helps your image." Rogue finished for her. Wanda pulled her spoon away from her mouth and gulped but then her features hardened.
" No." Wanda scorned.
" Then what?" Rogue asked sticking another spoon full of ice cream into her mouth.
" Look I just think that, that." Wanda seemed to space out for a moment.
" You have no reason do you?" Rogue asked in a quiet tone that showed no signs of humor. Wanda turned her head towards her Gothic friend and shook her head.
" No. My reasons are the same as yours. I'm afraid of getting hurt." Wanda said in a depressed tone as she poked her ice cream with the tip of her spoon. " I am so pitiful aren't I?" Wanda asked after a few moments of silence.
" No. Your, dare I say it. Normal." Rogue told her Wanda looked up from the holes she was poking into her ice cream and gasped at what she just heard.
" Bite your tongue." Wanda told her with a look of pure horror on her face.
" Hey it's the truth. All women are afraid of getting hurt. Ah'm saying the same thing about mah self." Rogue defended herself. Knowing if anyone else had told her that then they would have been hexed into next week most likely. But her and Wanda had a new understanding with each other even though this was the first time they really talked she felt that they had an understanding at least.
" Alright Doctor Joyce Brothers lets get into your problems then. Everyone here knows about your powers so why do you stay away from them? With Jean's it's obvious so skip that part and get to the good stuff." Wanda asked taking a spoon full of ice cream. Rogue gave a weak smile.
" I like to be alone first of all. I enjoy the quiet peacefulness of mah own thoughts when Ah can.. When Ah'm around people my physics get all hyper and they want to add another victim to the list." Rogue answered pausing to take another bite of ice cream. " An' mah reasons fo' staying away from Remy is that the man is a total player. He most likely was going after meh because Ah was some big challenge ya know. Just another notch in his bedpost. Ta see if he could get the untouchable. Like that. Ah don't trust him, much." Rogue told her letting out a breath like some big weight had been lifted off her shoulders. " Ah just don' want ta get used again." Rogue said sadly.
" I had no idea." Wanda told her. Her jaw hanging open a bit.
" No one does." Rogue told her scrapping the bottom of the her pint of ice cream. Wanda nodded and then sighed as if she was in defeat.
" When I was five years old. Before my mother died. She entered me into a little miss beauty pageant and I won. For a year I modeled clothing for Oish Kosh and I was one of those prissy little girls that I have gown to despise." Wanda told her and Rogue just looked at her for a few seconds then started cracking up which got Wanda started. They continued to talk a bit about anything and everything.
" Ah should go back ta bed." Rogue started to get up and looked over at the clock. " Or go change."
" Huh?" Wanda asked finishing off her ice cream.
" It's five am. Scott is most likely awake already." Rogue told her throwing away her ice cream carton and tossing the spoon into the sink. " That boy has no life after all."
"And a stick up his ass ta boot." Wanda added as she did the same with her ice cream carton and spoon.
" Ah hear ya." Rogue chimed in. They laughed a little. And then stopped at the sound of footsteps coming in. " Shush." Rogue motioned to Wanda. They looked to the door and saw Ororo walk in. Already dressed and ready to start of the day.
" Good morning girls. Your up early this beautiful morning." Ms. Monroe told them walking in her first stop being the coffee machine where she began to brew some fresh coffee.
" Uh yeah. Couldn't wait for Danger Room practice." Rogue lied and Wanda nodded in agreement. Both trying hard not to laugh.
" Glad to hear it Stripes. Nice to see someone other then Shades up for it. And Boots good to see someone knew who's in the mood to get tortured." Logan said walking into the kitchen with his newspaper in hand as he sat down at the kitchen table the girls were just at moments before talking.
" Boots?" Wanda whispered quietly to Rogue and Rogue just gave her a clueless look in reply.
" Oh yeah. Can't wait." Rogue said trying not to laugh but it was getting harder and harder. She elbowed Wanda to play along.
" Right. Can't wait Wolvie. Catch ya later. Come on Rogue." Wanda said tugging the girl out of the kitchen behind her.
" You girls don't want breakfast?" Ororo called to them. Both girls looked at each other.
" No were fine." They both answered and once they got clear of the kitchen and both started to laugh.
" Boots? Where did he get that?" Wanda asked. " And Stripes?"
" Well Stripes." Rogue motioned to her hair.
" Oh."
" And Boots?"
" Go figure?" Rogue said as they walked up the stairs laughing on there way to change for their dreaded Danger Room session.
