Hey there! I was kind of sleeping in Math class when I got this idea. Don't know whether you'll like it. Hope you do! I changed most of the stuff so when you're reading halfway don't go, "That didn't happen!"

Hmm… the usual couples I do. Romy, Jonda, X-ietro, Anlocke, Amarto, Jubilee/Ray, Lancitty and some glimpses of other couples. It's AU.

Summary: Rogue thinks back about her past when Kitty calls her about a high school reunion. She thinks about her friends, her family and most of all, Remy. Will she ever see him again?

Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own the X-men, though I would very much like it.

Queen of Hearts

Chapter 1- Mah life sucks

I walk into my office. Everyone smiles at me. What fake smiles. Danielle motions me to come to her desk. I walk over, looking at her curiously. Oh, by the way, Danielle is my secretary, the best one I ever had. She hands me a phone.

"Hello?"

"Hello? Miss Darkholme?"

"Yes."

"Mr. Sawyer thinks he'll pass on your offer."

"But…but he said yes yesterday!" I yell into the phone. Danielle looks at me sympathetically.

"Yes. Yesterday. And this is today. There's another company offering more for less."

"What company?" I ask, my voice tight.

"Bravura Corp. Ten dollars less."

"TEN DOLLARS LESS! ARE YAH CRAZY! ARE YAH INSANE! JUST TEN DOLLARS?" I scream into the phone. The man in the phone clears his throat.

"Yes. And Mr. Sawyer already signed the contract. Sorry, Miss Darkholme. Was nice doing business with you."

"But we didn't do any business!" I say desperately.

"Company policy. Mr. Sawyer says we are required to say it." And the guy hangs up.

I growl, march into my office and slam the door close. Danielle comes in.

"Hey, need some coffee?"

"Yah know what ah want. Thanks, shugah." I tell her. She nods and walks out. I sigh and open the stack of files already on my desk. It's gonna be a long day.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

It's three in the morning and I can't sleep. Another sleepless night. Maybe I'll call in sick tomorrow. I walk into the kitchen for another midnight snack. I open the freezer and take out the ice-cream tub. Ah, vanilla ice-cream. My savior. I take the tub and a spoon into my room. I sit on the floor and dig in.

Yup, that's me. Marie Darkholme. Living in Bayville, New York. I'm a senior manager in one of the top-ranking firms in the world and get paid about a million a year. But I'm not happy. Not happy at all. Not one teeny weeny little bit. You know why? Then tell me, 'cause hell, I don't know.

I reach for another spoon of luxurious cold ice-cream to find my spoon touching the bottom of the tub. Oops, I finished the tub. Hehe.

I throw the tub in the sink and prepare to fall asleep in a few minutes. Maybe it'll work this time. Ice-cream always makes me drowsy whenever I eat it at night.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Wake up due to non-stop ringing of cell phone. Damn that phone.

"Hello?"

"Rogue? It's like, me!"

"Me who?" I ask, still asleep.

"KITTY! Wake up, Rogue!" She squeals. I put the phone away from my ear. Loud noises do not agree with me at seven in the morning.

"Oh, hey, Kitty. What's up?"

"Well, guess what?"

"You're in town?" I ask, trying to sound enthusiastic but failing miserably.

"Like how did you know!" She screams into the phone. This time I'm wide awake. Hell no. Kitty is in town.

"Oh. Lucky guess." I say.

"Aren't you like, gonna ask me why?" Kitty asks me. "Well, I'm gonna tell you anyway. There's a high school reunion next week!"

I nearly drop my phone.

"High school reunion?"

"Yeah!"

"When?"

"Hold on. Lance? When is the reunion?" Kitty ask her boyfriend, who is probably listening to our conversation. He mumbles something to her.

"Next Saturday. And you like, have to come, Rogue!"

"Does Lexa know about this?"

"No. But I'm stopping by your office later." I dropped my phone. I'm in shock. Oh shit.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Danielle leads a screaming Kitty into my office.

"Like this place is so cool!"

I smile weakly. Danielle winks at me. She mouths 'be nice' to me and I glare.

You'd think Kitty would spend more time on Danielle since she's her friend and they were in same classes. But no. Here I sit, in my big office, listening to Kitty's endless yak. Right now, she talking about her wedding plans with Lance, which is to take place three years from now. I smile occasionally. Well, I try to be nice.

"Rogue? Rogue. Rogue!" Kitty yells. I snap myself out of my thoughts and smile at her again. "We're going shopping now."

"Shopping? Kit, ah have work to do."

"Not today. You're like, coming shopping for your dress."

"W-What! Who said ah was goin'?"

"Me! Now come! You will! I will make you!" Kitty says. She looks cute when she tries to be fierce.

I sigh. Kitty wants, Kitty gets. Lance makes sure of that.

"I'll hold your calls, Rogue!" Danielle winked. I was prepared to shoot a nasty remark at her when I got an idea.

"Kit, it's a high school reunion right? So Danielle should come, right?" I ask.

"Like totally! Grab your purse, Danni!"

"I hate you." Danielle whispers at me and I laugh. Lance is outside waiting in his car. We hop in.

Soon, we arrive at a boutique. Kitty pulls us in. Immediately, she orders for five dresses for fitting. She picked out a dress for Danielle which was gorgeous. I forgot that Kitty had quite a good taste for clothes. Then, someone covers my eyes. I got very irritated and was ready to kick the guy's ass when I heard a 'surprise'. I turned around, push away the hands to see… Wanda and Lexa! They laugh when they see my shocked expression.

"Kitty told us to come." Lexa said.

I nod, laughing. I hug them. It was seven years since I last saw them. Lexa had moved to California and Wanda had went… somewhere. Lexa filled me in while Wanda roamed around the shop. Lexa and Pietro were living together, apparently they hooked up after graduation. And Wanda was soon to be engaged with John.

"So, how about you?"

"What about meh?"

Lexa rolls her eyes. "Come on, let's get our shopping done."

I picked out a dark green dress. It looked nice, with the thin straps and a slit going right up to my knee. Sophisticated and elegant, said Kitty.

"Just the thing to make Remy swoon over you."

"Remy? Swoon? What!" I yell.

"Well, Remy is going to the reunion."

"Yah didn't tell meh that!" I said, pulling the dress off.

"Rogue, the dress looks great. I'm sure Remy will think it's beautiful on you." Danielle said.

"I don't think the dress is the problem. Remy is." Lexa said.

Shit oh shit. Remy LeBeau is coming to the reunion. My life sucks. Damn it.
