Chapter One: Stalkers

As usual Rogue's day started out with Kitty breaking yet another alarm clock by phasing through it and short circuiting it.

"Like oh my god!" Kitty exclaimed realizing what she did. "Not again! I'm going to have to like buy another one!"

Rogue smirked as she groggily sat up. "How many does this make?" She asked. "Three alarm clocks in one week?"

"Four," Kitty said collapsing back on the bed. "I am like so running out of money.

Rogue laughed and got out of bed. It was always funny to watch Kitty freak out about things. When she had first come to stay at the institute it had been one of the things she liked about Kitty, actually, it was the only thing she liked about Kitty. The young girl was way to hyper and girly, it made Rogue's stomach lurch when she found out she was going to have to be rooming with her. But now, after all the things she and Kitty had gone through together Kitty was Rogue's closest friend, and dare she say it, perhaps even her best friend.

Breakfast was chaotic as usual. Kurt was bamfing all around the kitchen trying to get as much food as he could off of everybody else.

"Come on Scott!" Kurt said bamfing in front of the x-men leader. "You don't really want that eggo anyway."

"No Way!" Scott held his hand protectively in front of the eggo on his plate. "You already had three. And if you try to make a grab for it I'll blast you."

"Aww," Kurt shoulders slumped down in defeat. His face brightened up when he saw Rogue taking her eggo out of the toaster. "Oh schwester!" He bamfed over to where Rogue stood.

"Back off Kurt, Ah'm not giving ya mah eggo," she said shooting him the death glare.

"Oh come on mein schwester!" He whined. "We're family! We're supposed to do nice things for each other, biiiite!!!!"

Rogue rolled her eyes at him. "Neiiiin!" She said mocking his pleading voice. The two siblings began to argue but were then interrupted by Scott who had an announcement.

"I'm leaving now, so if anyone needs a ride they better come now!" The chaotic kitchen instantly grew quiet, but only for a second, and then was filled with protests.

"But it's not even time to go to school yet!" Amara complained.

"Yeah!" Kitty joined in. "We still have like a half hour."

"I know," Scott said. "But I have some make-up work that I have to get down before school, so if anyone wants a ride they have to come in early with me."

None of the students wanted to go to school this early in the morning, but none of them wanted to walk either. Each of them managed to shove all their food down their throats in under ten seconds and then were instantly at Scott's side who was waiting by the kitchen door, everyone except for Rogue.

"Hey Rogue, are you like coming?" Kitty asked glancing back at her.

Rogue shook her head and held up her eggo. "Ah'll walk, ah wanna eat my eggo first." She shot another death glare at Kurt. Kitty nodded in understanding and followed the rest of the x-men out to Scott's car.

Rogue sighed as a blanket of silence over came the kitchen. Ever since developing her powers in her home town she hadn't gotten a lot of quiet time. Things were always chaotic at the brother hood house, and it was the same at the institute, only more sanitary. If this was what it took to get a moment's silence than Rogue would gladly walk to school everyday.

Barely a minute past when Scott came running back into the kitchen. "Forget something?" Rogue asked.

"Keys. . ." he muttered looking around the kitchen.

Rogue saw a pair of keys laying on the table in front of her. She grabbed them and held them up for Scott to take. "Hey thanks," He said taking them and heading towards the door. Then he stopped and turned back to face Rogue. "You sure you don't want a ride?"

"No it's okay," she said surprised he cared. "Ah can walk."

He looked at her as if he was unsatisfied with her answer. "Are you sure Rogue, because it's not problem I can give you a ride." The way he offered made him sound so sincere as if he didn't want her to have to walk to school. It made him sound as if he actually cared about her, which in a way he did. It was enough to make Rogue reconsider his offer, if Jean hadn't walked right in then.

"Scott we have to get going!" Her annoying whinny voice came as she walked into the kitchen. "Everyone's getting impatient." She put her hands on her hips and began tapping her foot impatiently. She looked so whinny and stupid, but that didn't stop a smile from forming on Scott's face just by looking at her. Rogue couldn't help but feeling a bit jealous of Jean, which made her very angry. Jean was everything Rogue prayed to God that she would never become, but she had the only thing Rogue really wanted, a good boyfriend.

"Okay I'm coming," Scott told Jean. He turned back to Rogue. "Final answer Rogue, you sure you want to walk?"

Rogue shuddered at the thought of having to watch Scott and Jean all lovey dovey on the way to school. "Yeah Ah'm sure."

Scott shrugged, "It's your loss." With that he and Jean headed out the door.

Once again silence devoured the kitchen. A minute later Logan entered but then stopped dead in his tracks. "It's quiet," he growled. "To quiet." He then looked at Rogue for an explanation.

"Scott had to go to school early and no one wanted to walk," she explained.

"So why didn't you go with them?" he asked.

Rogue shrugged. "Didn't really want to."

"Yeah well you better get walking then," he said gruffly. "It's a long way, don't wanna be late."

"Oh no, wouldn't want that," she replied sarcastically as she finished her eggo.

"I mean it kid," he growled. "Get to school. If I get any news that you were late your going to have extra danger room sessions."

Rogue got up and gathered all her stuff. As she walked out the door she muttered, "Like you've ever cared about the rules."

"I heard that kid," Logan said loudly.

Rogue took her time walking to school. The later she got there the sooner she could leave. She didn't care if she was late. If she was late that meant the halls wouldn't be as crowded and there would be less risk of people touching her. She didn't care about Logan's threat, she could handle the danger room anytime. Unlike the other x-men she actually looked forward to the danger room sessions. They were a way to relieve stress.

After awhile she got the feeling someone was watching her. Rogue turned to look behind her but no one was there. She stared down the sidewalk for a few minutes and then turned back but ran into something.

"Bonjor Chere," Rogue immediately recognized Gambit's accent as she looked up at him.

"What are ya doin swamp rat?" she spat out backing up a few steps, getting ready to take off her glove.

With every step she took back he took a step forward, a seductive grin on his face. "Why Gambit jus wanna talk wit y'chere. Its been awhile since he's had the pleasure of bein wit a belle femme."

"Back off swamp rat," she warned. "Or ah'll-" she was cut off as her back hit something behind her. She whirled around to see Pyro.

"Ello Sheila," Pyro said cheerfully a wide grin on his face.

Rogue was about to throw a profane insult at Pyro but was interrupted when she felt Gambit's arms wrap themselves around her, pinning her arms to her sides. "let meh go!" she yelled, and began struggling against Gambit's grip.

"Squirm all y' want petite," Gambit said, tightening his hold on her. "But Gambit aint letting go."

"Oh yeah," Rogue smirked. She bucked her head back, the back of her head hit Gambit's nose real hard, and he involuntarily released her. Rogue immediately jumped away from him. "Outta mah way!" she yelled to Pyro who was blocking her path.

"Sorry shiela, didn't want to have to do this," Pyro said. Rogue had no time to react as a fist connected with her face. Then everything went black. Pyro turned to Gambit who was rubbing his poor nose. "You alright mate?"

"Mon dieu!" Gambit exclaimed. "Dat be one angry fille."

Pyro grinned at his injured friend. That had to be the first time he saw him get denied by any girl. He was about to give a smart ass comment but then Pietro sped up over to them from it seemed out of no where.

"ohmygod," he said talking really fast. His eyes widened at the sight of Rogue lying unconscious on the ground.

"youwerentsuposedtohurther,fatherwantsherunharmedyouaresodead!"

"Relax mon ami," Gambit said scooping Rogue up in his arms. "She'll live."
