Chapter Six
A few days later,John and Wanda go out to dinner. John had made reservations at the nicest place in town,he had the entire night planned. Admittedly,he was nervous. He intended to ask Wanda to marry him, but he was scared she'd say no or something.
They decide to visit the south,Rogue wanted to go to Mississippi. They were about forty-five miles from the border,when they remembered why they never go there. Because it's to close to his people. And because she had made kind of a scene when she left.
They arrive at the restaurant,and are seated quickly. They had just finished ordering,and John was attempting to think of a small talk subject (not an easy task when your entire mind is consumed with scenarios revolving around the ring in his pocket) when Kurt walked up to them.
" Where is my sister? I know that man took off with her again." Kurt demanded loudly.
" She's on vacation,with her boyfriend, I don't know where they're at right now" Wanda replied,looking irritated.
" How can you not know where they are,you live with them!" Kurt demanded.
" They didn't plan out where they were going,it was a road trip." John replies,while trying to think of a way to get rid of Kurt.
Wanda snorts at the 'plan out' comment. The entire trip had been spur of the moment. She was still planning her revenge as well. They had left them with Kitty's cooking. For that they must pay!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They then stop for the night to decide where they wanted to go next. Remy goes out after they settle into their room,to pick up dinner,while Rogue takes a shower. He was walking back to the car after picking up the Chinese take out,when he paused at the window of a jewelry store. After contemplating for a moment,he went in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Remy arrives at their room,just as Rogue is setting the table. He helps her lay out the meal, silently. After they eat,largely in silence, Remy pulls out the box in his pocket.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" How could you let him just take her like that?" Kurt demands. He had been growing steadily louder,and now the manager was making his way over to them.
" Because,she's an adult who willing went on a road trip with her boyfriend! Why would we try to stop them?" Wanda states as the manager arrives at the table.
" I am sorry ,sir, but going to have to ask you to leave. You are disturbing the other customers" The manager states.
"Thank God" Wanda mutters while Kurt is drug away,protesting. John clears his throat as their dinner arrives,he had intended to wait until the end of dinner to ask her, but he was now worried they would be interrupted again.
" Wanda, I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I don't want to ever spend a single day away from you. Will you marry me?" John asks pulling out the ring. The ring was a simple princess cut small diamond on a gold band.
" Anna, I've wanted to ask you something,since practically the first time we met. I knew the first time I saw you,that despite technically being on opposite sides of the fight,we were meant to be together. I Love you Anna,and I want to spend the rest of our lives together. Will you marry me?" Remy says as he opens the box to reveal a emerald tear drop cut ,with two smaller rubies on either side,set on a white gold band.
" Yes! Oh course I'll marry you!" Wanda says, Hugging John. " But you may want to work on your speeches is the future,that sounded borderline stalkerish"
" Well it works for Remy" John replies,shrugging.
" Yes!" Rogue yells,jumping into Remy's arms." I'll marry you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you too."
Later that evening,They decided to head west. They wanted to hit the casinos in Vegas, and see the coast. After planning the next leg of their trip,the couple head to bed. They intend to set off early the next morning.
Rogue considers calling Wanda to tell her the good news,but decides it's too late in the evening,by the time she thinks of it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Wanda wakes the next morning she decides that she's getting her revenge today. Though she is still in a good mood, excited and happy about her impending wedding,she still feels that Remy and Rogue were wrong to leave them to the mercy of Kitty.
Wanda steps into the southerners room and states " They have way to much stuff anyway".Before pulling out garbage bags and packing boxes. With in an hour she had everything the other couple owned packed up. She even dismantled Remy's bed. She'd taken the bedding from Rogue's bed.
She even took away their photographs and Journals. She then calls John to help her get rid of it all. They put everything the other couple has in the storage unit in the basement.
They then decide to park their car in the long term garage and fly to Vegas. With in a few hours they are in the hotel. The hotel they decided to stay in has a casino attached as well as a wedding chapel. They couple,however,doesn't really notice the chapel after seeing it when they arrived.
After checking into their room,they hit the casino. Remy joins a card game quickly while Rogue decides to play the slots for awhile. Both are up most of the night before finally heading to bed around four am. Both had also won a great deal.
Wade spotted John and Wanda as they took down the final load. He froze when he saw the heavy mattress between them. " NOOOOOOOOOO! You can't move out! You just can't. I'm sorry I don't know where your game went John,but is it really worth throwing our friendship away? Please,please just don't move away. If you move I'll be stuck living with a bunch of Phychos. I don't think I can handle it! " Wade rants,as he walks up to the couple. " This is about the shower thing isn't it? I swear Wanda I didn't see anything,and I really did think John was in there too. Please just stay here and- Hey is that an engagement ring?! When did you guys get engaged? No one ever tells me anything. We should go celebrate! I'll buy. There's this great new Mexican restaurant downtown, I bet it not even crowded this time of day! Hey where are you planning on moving to anyway. Is it near by,are you guys still going to come see me? I really wish you weren't moving, but I can help if you need. Here Wanda let me take that end for you, are Remy and Rogue moving too,where are those guys anyway,I haven't seen them in a few weeks. Are they okay? You killed them didn't you? What did they do? What did you do with the bodies?" Wade says in his usual enthusiastic manner.
" um Wade,we aren't moving,we're just putting some stuff in our storage unit downstairs." John says as the elevator begins it's decent." And Remy and Rogue are on vacation remember? We came over and told you a couple of weeks ago."
"Oh yeah I remember now. Why'd they run off like that anyway?" Wade questions.
" Because they're hiding from Logan" Wanda says her voice slightly muffled by the mattress.
" Oh I see." Wade says " There no way that'll work. He'll find them and be even more angry over whatever they did because they tried to hide"
" Oh but they covered their tracks well. They plan to tell everyone that they just went on a vacation,that way they can claim they had no idea that he was looking for them." John states.
" Yeah,that'll never work" states Wade. " 100 says he sees right through that story"
" 100 says that Remy talks his way out of it. After all this is Remy. He's good at talking his way out of things." John replies. Wanda rolls her eyes as the pair agree on the terms of their bet and the elevator opens.
Wade helps them carry it over to their storage unit,which he notices is quite full. He gives them a questioning look,so Wanda explains her revenge. Nodding Wade walks away, stating something about chimichangas.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Remy and Rogue rent another car and head towards California,planing on visiting the beach and a couple of theme parks. It's not that far of a drive and they arrive late that evening,checking into their hotel just after dinner.
They then decide to hit the beach before bed. Remy also states that they need to go shopping the next day. They hadn't packed very much,and didn't really have anything to wear anymore. Rogue agrees and they head to bed.
~meanwhile~
Logan has tracked them as far as Vegas, He follows their trail to the casino. At first he finds nothing wrong,aside from missing them again. Then he notices their scents near the chapel, with a sinking feeling he follows them up to their suite. Which was a honeymoon suite. Now really disturbed,Logan calls Charles. "I think she went and married that idiot." He says when Charles answers.
" ...Who?" Charles questions
" Rogue! I've been tracking them for weeks! I just found their trail outside a chapel...they stayed in the honeymoon suite" Logan practically growls.
" Are you certain,Logan?" Charles states calmly " Perhaps they were simply looking around."
"...I don't know Chuck. I can't figure out their movements at all." Logan states " They seem to be picking places to go at random. I can't find a pattern at all."
" Maybe there isn't one. Maybe they truly just went on a vacation." Charles states,rubbing his temples.
"...Maybe. I'm gonna head back,I'll talk to them when they return." Logan states.
He didn't know what to think. He was hoping Chuck was right,but he also knew they'd been by the chapel. Hopeful, it wasn't to late to talk some sence into the girl, Logan headed in the direction of Bayville. Meanwhile, he needed to get back,because there were other kids that needed his attention.

Wanda admitted to herself that she was tired of John freaking out over his game. She dug it out of their closet,and handed it back to him.
" Hey,John,look what I found!" Wanda states holding out the game.
John looks up,and yells " YES! you found it! Where was it?"
Wanda shrugs and he starts hooking it back watches him for a moment before going to make lunch. With in twenty minutes she remembers why she'd taken it to begin with,because John was crazy. He hadn't even looked at her when she had brought him his lunch,he'd barely acknowledged she was there. Wanda decides to go shopping for awhile. Then they were going to talk about limiting how much he played.
