Chapter Three
Rogue was seriously considering changing her phone number... but then they'd just come by instead, now that they knew where she lived. Everyday Logan,Scott, or Kitty would call her, wondering when she'd 'get over it' and come home. She knew that when she left, it was because she was angry at Logan, but the truth was, she stayed away because she was done.
She didn't want to continue to fight. She had finished school, and she had gained control. All of her reasons for being there were over. Sure she'd miss the others, but not at 5 am. Not when Logan had called her five times already. Groaning she hangs up, again, as Wanda grumbles from the other bed " What did he want this time?"
"... He wanted to know if the pink sweater he found in the laundry's Lost pile was mine. Now he's just reaching for excuses" Rogue replies while getting out of bed, there was no point in trying to go back to sleep now, he would call again might as well let Wanda sleep.
Heading out to the kitchen she was surprised to see Remy already making coffee. " Why are you up?" Rogue questions, she has an even harder time with politeness when she's tired. Remy smiles and pours her a cup before responding " Logan called me... three times... since 4:30. So I gave up" Remy replies.
Rogue stares at him in surprise before asking " How did he get your number? What did he want?" Remy shrugs, taking the seat next to her as he replies " I don't know how he got it. But first he wanted to know if I knew anything about violets, like the flowers, because he was helping to plant them later. Then he called to find out if I still owned a motorcycle, and if I would recommend a garage. And last time he called it was to ask if any of my socks were mismatched, because he'd found a bunch of them in the laundry's lost pile."
At this Rogue started laughing before she states " Oh my god, he actually was going through the lost pile! I don't know why he's doing this, called me five times" Remy then joins the laughter as he shrugs and finally states " I think it because he thinking we're sleeping together, this is his attempt to interrupt."
The couple are still laughing when Wade starts chuckling behind them( making them both jump) " Wait, what are we laughing at?" Wade questions. They couple stare at him for a moment before Rogue states "Logan" and Remy states " Why're you here?"
Before Wade can respond, Wanda and John came in with John stating. " I don't know why, but remember, he's like a ninja or something, so I guess he'll just keep getting in" Before anyone could reply, Wade slams the freezer and begins a rant.
"Why do everyone worships Ninjas so much? NINJAS are evil! They sneak up on you when you sleep! They are evil! PURE EVIL! I said evil. WHY DON'T YOU HAVE ANYMORE WAFFLES! WHAT WAS I TALKING ABOUT AGAIN? OH YEAH NINJAS! THEY AREN'T COOL THEY ARE LOSERS! THEY ARE USELESS, IGNORANTE, IDIOTS! I HATE NINJAS! NEVER, NEVER COMPARE ME TO A NINJA AGAIN UNLESS YOU WISH TO LOSE BOTH YOU ARMS! NEVER! Anyways let's go get some waffles. Remy your paying." Wade said in rapid speed, John was hiding behind Wanda for protection. "What is wrong with you people! I SAID LET'S GET SOME WAFFLES! NOW!" Wade said pointing his sword at Rogue.
No one wanted to argue the point to him, so they all slowly followed him out of the kitchen, not bothering to point out that just yesterday he had made a similar comment about himself. At the time he'd said " I am just that Freakin' awesome! I'm like a freakin' Ninja or something!" when they'd asked how he'd managed to get in when they'd had the floor bolt engaged. So now they had to go buy waffles, why waffles anyway? Didn't Wade ever just eat at home, Come on it's only like ten feet away!
~o~O~o~
When they got back from their impromptu shopping trip, that had turned largely unnecessary when Wade wandered off at the check out lane muttering that he would see them the next day, and texting.
No one really wanted to question the strange encounter with the man earlier, honestly, all any of them really wanted to do was go back to bed. It was to late in the day now, they all knew they wouldn't be able to sleep, therefore they decided to go to a movie instead.
Going to the movies was probably a mistake. They realized it as soon as they got inside the theater and ran straight into the X-men,literally in John's case, as he was busy looking at Wanda while she spoke, so wasn't watching his step. After yet another brief argument between Rogue and Scott, they went to their chosen movie, which thankfully, was different than the one the other's were coming to see.
Ten minutes into the movie the two couples decided to duck out to avoid running into Rogue's former team. Apparently however, Scott and Jean had the same idea. They run into each other again in the lobby. Not wanting to be banned from the theater (again) Jean and Rogue pull their boyfriends away from each other.
~o~O~o~
Movies a bust, they decide to hit the Diner,as the heard Jean tell Scott they should head to the park,so they wouldn't run into the other couple again.A redheaded waitress they had not seen before seated them near the back. After a brief debate over whether it was late enough in the day to order lunch, and another on what looked good , both of which were settled by deciding that they should just get what they want, they called the woman back over to them.
Rogue and John had both decided to order breakfast. Rogue ordering the waffles, leading the others to wonder if she had accidentally absorbed Wade. John had the eggs. Remy and Wanda both ordered hamburgers, and then they sat back to wait. A moment later, they spotted Logan. Though they tried to duck down, he saw them as well, and decided to join them at their table.
An awkward silence followed. The waitress came back over with their orders and asked if Logan would like anything. Logan said " Coffee" at the same time as Rogue said " He's not staying." Unsure of which direction to follow the waitress,along with the other three stared at Logan and Rogue for a moment, before John told the waitress to get Logan's coffee.
Logan then said " Look ,kid, I know you're mad at me but"
Rogue cut him off with a wave of her hand and the statement " That's the problem Logan, I'm not a kid anymore, but you insist on treating me like one. Until you can accept that I'm old enough to make my own decisions, even if they're mistakes, then I don't see what we have to say to each other."
Remy frown at the 'mistake remark, while Logan frowned at effectively being cast out of her life. The moment may have gotten tense at this point,if not for John stating "HEY! Purple may not be the choice for everyone, but for you, I can't imagine a different shade of lipstick!"
They all stare at John blankly. Why would Logan care about her lipstick color? The waitress returns and John states " Hey, do you think purple lipstick is really worth throwing a friendship away?"
The waitress blinks for a moment before stating "It depends on who wants to throw the friendship away. If someone gives me a hard time for wearing it, they're not really a friend, are they?"
Rogue yells " NO ONE is talking about my lipstick John! We were talking about Remy,Wanda and YOU! Logan doesn't like that I hang around you guys"
John stares at her for a moment before saying " How are you to live with us if you don't hang around us?" Wanda rolls her eyes, and explains it to him, as the waitress slips away.
Logan slams his fist against the table,completely annoyed at the others especially John at this point. Juice and coffee goes everywhere and the other four immediately begin mopping it up, completely emptying the napkin dispenser.
" Hey could you get us some more napkins Rogue asks their waitress as she walks by, nodding the waitress carries on. She returns a few minutes later with a dish of lemon slices.
They all stare at them for a moment before Rogue states " ummm, I asked for napkins." The waitress apologizes and runs off the retrieve more napkins.
Rogue points at Logan and states " That was your fault too, if you hadn't flustered that poor girl, she would've heard 'napkins' AND your the one who spilled everywhere."
The waitress returned a third time, and they paid the check, Rogue making sure to add a generous tip 'for having to deal with these idiots'. She then left before anyone knew what was happening. Remy scrambled to follow, dropping a few bills on the table as well. At the sound of a loud engine, Wanda and John sighed,knowing they had been forgotten. Logan grunted and left as well,as Wanda pulled out her phone and sent Rogue a quick text.
Rogue pulled back in as they left the café, and quickly apologized for leaving them. The other couple shrugged and climbed in the back, stating it was no big deal. They then decided to head to the mall.
Later they return home to a humming Wade toasting frozen waffles in their kitchen. Rogue,who was still in a rather bad mood, states " Darn it Wade,don't you ever go home?"
Without looking up from his staring contest with the toaster,Wade replies " Of course I do. If I didn't change my clothes, I'd be disgusting" he then mumbles under his breath " of all the stupid questions,I swear"
Remy,seeing the look on Rogue's face,and not really finding the idea of cleaning up a bloodbath appealing, then steps in to try to send Wade home. Confident that Remy can handle the madman,Rogue then goes to take a nap. She(they) was hoping that a couple hours sleep would put her in a better mood. Remy then returns his attention to their unwanted houseguest.
" You know,I think you have a toaster on your counter at home Wade." Remy states,trying to handle him calmly. Wade shakes his head and states " It's broken." Still staring at it.
"...How did it break?" Wanda asks, suspiciously. As a reply, the waffles pop up slightly overdone, and Wade responds by screaming " EVIL TOASTERS! THEY ARE ALL BENT ON DESTROYING MY BREAKFAST! IT'S A CONSPIRACY!" Before removing a sword and stabbing the toaster. As the others try to regain their nerves Wade continues " I'm not really sure, it was the strangest thing. When I went to make my waffles this morning, the stupid thing had stopped working...I think your toaster broke as well." With that he took his plate off semi-ruined waffles and walked out the door.
They stared after him for a moment before, sighing, John stated that he should go buy a new toaster. Wanda asks if he wants her to come along,but he refuses, telling her to go ahead and relax. Remy then states that he thinks he's going to take a nap as well, and Wanda decides to go check her Facebook.
Two hours later, she's still playing a game on there when John returns. He brings the toaster into the kitchen,then disappears into the living room after a casual 'hi'. When she doesn't see him again, she goes looking and finds him playing a video game on the couch. He had bought a new game system and a couple games. She tries talking to him for a few minutes but quickly gives up, when she's only getting vague responses.
~o~O~o~
" ...It's been three days, has he even eaten?" Whispers Rogue.
" I'm not sure, but if he doesn't shower soon I'm burning that couch." replies Remy,crossing his arms.
" C'mon guys it's not that bad, it's not like he decided to wear adult diapers or something." Wanda interjects.
"...If he asks for diapers, you're changing him." Rogue responds,pointing at Wanda.
" WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING! I haven't been able to watch my shows in three days! I set the Golden Girls marathon AND the medieval swordplay special on record,I need to watch them!" Wade states, causing the other three to jump, as they had been so busy staring at John, they hadn't noticed Wade's arrival. John hadn't turned off the game since he brought it home; he barely paused it to go to the bathroom. They were all becoming a little concerned.
" Wade, you don't live here, stop filling up our TiVo with your crap! You cancelled Remy's card game show twice now and my zombie marathon!" Rogue states.
Remy glares at Wade. " YOU are the one who keeps cancelling my programs?!"
Wade waves away Remy's stance, " Put away the cards Remy, we have to do something about John right now. We can play 'who's the better Merc' later."
They all return their attention to John,who was still ignoring them. "Hey Uh,John? How about we move your game into your room?" Wanda states.
" No way! I have a hard enough time sleeping with him clicking that stupid lighter,I'll be up all night if he has the game." Remy grumbles.
Wanda rolls her eyes,and states." Okay,then Remy and I will trade rooms,it won't bother me, and there's enough room for your bed in Rogue's room."
They quickly agree,and enlist Wade into helping rearrange before tackling John. John,as it turned out,wasn't all that hard...after they unplugged him. He was rather surprised to learn of the room change, but pleased as well, among other things,his girlfriend slept like a log,so he could stay up as late as he wanted.( Plus Remy had a terrible tendency to throw things at him if he got to loud)
Wade happily took over their couch and pulling out a bowl of popcorn,and turning on his marathon. Remy and Rogue stared at him for a moment, then deciding the TV wasn't worth the fight, decided to go out to dinner.
