I'm glad you guys liked chapter one…here's chapter two!

Did You Get The Cure?

They were almost to the kitchen when Rouge stopped suddenly "Oh, man I gotta go back to my room for a sec"

"Why?"

"I forgot my gloves" then she stopped, turned around, and then back to Bobby. "Oh wait, I'm so dumb" She giggled at her own mistake to hide feeling like a dork.

"Hey, you're not dumb. This is all new, don't worry about it." He kissed the top of her head and walked into the kitchen. When they walked in 15 minutes late, the large table full of teenagers and younger kids looked up and gave an obnoxiously loud "ooooooooh".

Almost immediately a choir of 13 year old mutants broke into a rendition of their favorite personalized cliché; "Bobby and Rouge are sittin' in a tree, but Iceman almost died when he kissed Marie" Rouge turned bright red from embarrassment and Bobby just rolled his eyes. Peter a.k.a. colossus turned his left arm into metal and flicked one of the boys "ouch! Professor!"

"Knock it off!" Colossus harshly told the kids. The adults just laughed around the table.

"Thanks man" Bobby said as he pounded metal to ice fists with Peter.

"Anytime man" and Bobby sat down in his usual seat in between Peter and Rouge, and across from Logan and Storm.

Next to Rouge sat Kitty who leaned over and whispered, "So, what's up with you two? You didn't break up right? I mean, please tell me you two didn't break up and where were you any way?"

A little overwhelmed and attempting to process everything Kitty had just asked, Rouge gave a simple "We'll talk more later" as she reached to the center of the table for a roll. "but lets just say that-" as Rouge was reaching for the rolls without looking, so was Logan. They both went to grab one and instead got each other. They both gave a small "oops" and then looked up. They stayed that way, touching hands until everyone began to stare.

Bobby gave a small smile as the hushed chit chat around the table began "she's not wearing any gloves" "how is she doing that?" "You think she got the cure?" "How is wolverine not dying right now?" These were only a few of the very interesting questions buzzing around the oversized table.

"Rouge" the Professor asked "did u receive the cure?"

"Yes, Professor, I did"

More "ooohing" and "ahhhing" ensued with a couple of "Oh my god's" and "I can't believe she actually DID it".

"Children, let's get back to our meal please. I'm sure you'll all be happy to pester Rouge later this evening" Storm announced, and the general hubbub continued. Rouge gave Bobby an embarrassed smile and he squeezed her hand under the table. Then they entwined their fingers and Bobby put their hands on top of the table for all the world to see.

I know it's short, but that's my style…if your good I'll even update! Yes, I know where this is going, and we haven't even gotten to the good stuff yet!

Heh heh heh….Jesse
