Chapter Eight
The sun had not yet risen,when they were woken to someone pounding on their door. Wanda screams into her pillow in frustration. Why do people insist in waking her this early? She starts to throw her blankets off,when she hears Rogue stumble down the hall.
Good,she thinks,let her handle those idiots now. Wanda then rolls over attempting to fall back to sleep. John is stirring in the next bed,pretty much guaranteeing that she not be able to go back to sleep. Still she lies there hoping he won't decide to wake her.
Rogue yanks open the front door,not really wanting to deal with anyone right now. After having to move all of their things back upstairs last night, and then assemble them at least partly, she had only been in bed about an hour. Logan is standing on the other side of the door. How he knew they were back,was a question for when her brain was more awake.
Logan sniffed the air,and crinkled his nose. Rogue smelled like a combination of Rotten eggs, Remy's after shave, and Jasmine. (in her defence, she DID shower,hence the jasmine, and air out the room. At this point the only one who can still smell the eggs are Logan,and those with heightened senses like him.)
" Why do you smell like Gumbo,Stripes?" Logan demands.
" Because I just spent the last few weeks in a car him him,then I shared a room with him, and he's sleeping in my bed right now" Rogue replies,she had meant to leave this last part in her head,but it was things-you-should-never-say filters weren't on yet.
"He WHAT?!" Logan demands,pushing past her into her apartment.
"He's sleeping. in. our. bed. " Rogue replies. She'd already said it once,why try to hide it now.
" I thought you shared a room with Wanda?" Logan questions,while trying to decide which door is her bedroom. He knew he should've spent the extra ten thousand for the floor plan.
" I used to, like a few months ago. But John likes to stay up late. Wanda can sleep through it,but Remy can't." Rogue replied.
" ... But why are you sharing a bed?" Logan questions.
" Why don't you ask your friend Wade. He's the one that ruined Remy's bed by putting rotten eggs in the mattress." Rogue states,while crossing her arms.
" So why didn't he take the couch then." Logan asks. He is mentally strangling Wade now. He'd hired Wade to keep an eye on her, not create situations where they were pressed closer together.
" Why should he when I have a perfectly functional Double sized bed. After all, we've been sharing most of our vacation anyway." Rogue states.
Logan growls at this knowledge. Sure he'd been in almost all their hotel rooms with hours of them leaving,but he had been pretending that one of them (Remy) had taken the floor. She just had to go and ruin this false scenario for him.
Remy stumbles out front at this point,completely unaware of the danger that awaits him in the had just woken, and decided to go looking for his fiancée. Completely unaware of having company,he was wearing just his sleep pants under an open robe,with no shirt. Logan took offence to this, possibly because Rogue was dressed in a simple long t-shirt,with a robe as well. Therefore He felt neither one of them were wearing enough you combine that, with the fact that he just learned that they'd been sharing a room for months,and a bed for weeks, and you get an extremely angry Wolverine.
Remy looks at Logan, eyes slightly unfocused,as he is still mostly asleep. Though he is normally an extremely light sleeper,he hadn't slept much in the last couple days. Plus he'd spent an hour in the shower trying to scrub the egg smell off,so he'd only been asleep for about thirty minutes.
" YOU!" Logan yells,pointing at Remy.
"What?!" Remy replies,still not completely aware.
" Why are you sleeping in Rogue's bed?!" Logan demands " Are you TRYING to ruin her life?!"
" And how is sharing a bed with my fiancée ruining her life?" Remy replies, now completely awake,and angry. " I love her,I would NEVER hurt her! Unlike you,who manages to hurt her every time you speak to her."
"fiancée?!" Logan demands. " When did that happen?"
" While we were on vacation" Rogue answers, and continues when Logan opens his mouth " And no I'm not pregnant,no there isn't a chance I'm pregnant! Please, for once just get over whatever grudge it is you have against Remy and be happy for me!"
Remy walks over to his future bride and hugs her,while glaring at Logan.
" We've had this conversation before,Logan, I know you hate me. We all do. But why do you insist on hurting her like this?" Remy states " You really need to stop implying that no one really loves her. Because not only is it a bald-faced lie, but it hurts her every time. Yes, I asked Roguey to marry me. Because I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I love her more than anything else in the world. And if you can't stop hurting her, I'm going to have to ban you from my home."
Logan stares at him blankly for a moment,before grunting what sounded like a congratulations, before walking out the bumped into him in the hall,as Wade began to walk in. Wade looks at Remy,then back out at Logan, then he sighs and pulls out his wallet. Muttering to himself,he walks into John and Wanda's then throws a pair of fifty dollar bills on John's bed while stating ." Fine Remy really can talk himself out of anything."
"Wait!" Wanda suddenly states,suddenly jumping out of bed and rushing out front, Wade and John look at each other and shrug. whatever it was,it wasn't them.
" Rogue!" Wanda yells,as she reaches the living room," You two are getting married ,too?!"
Rogue looks up,from the hug Remy had pulled her into,tears suddenly forgotten. " Yes! What do you mean 'too'?"
Wanda silently holds out her hand, Rogue gasps and does the same. Both women dissolve quickly into giggles,causing Remy to join John and Wade, as they stared in horror from the hallway.
"There. are. TWO. Goth. Girls. giggling. Clearly the world is ending. Have you EVER seen either one of them do this?! Let alone both of them" John whispers to the other two men, who nod, as they slowly back down the hall. The other two would never admit it, but they agreed with John. That was scary. It was like Rogue and Wanda somehow channeled Jean and Kitty.
The men retreat to the safety of Remy's room before Remy and John turn to each other and congratulate each other over the upcoming weddings. As they begin describing to each other how they had asked,Wade screams.
" OH MY GOD! I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE,I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU TWO ARE BUT I WANT MY FRIENDS BACK! THE FRIENDS I KNOW WOULDN'T BE GUSHING LIKE A PAIR OF SCHOOLGIRLS, NOR WOULD THEIR GIRLFRIENDS BE FREAKING OUT LIKE A PAIR OF CHEERLEADERS! I know the author wrote it this way because she thought the image was funny,and now she's threatening to make me suddenly develop the need to sing random Disney songs if I don't shut up, but I CAN NOT TAKE THIS CRAZINESS ANYMORE! Oh look,it's a pretty light,where'd the pretty light come from? I wonder what would happen if I chased the light,no that would be bad because then I'd look like a kitty, KITTY! Why was Rogue acting like Kitty! Next thing you they're going to go on some crazy all day shopping out your credit cards and wearing pink,is that what you want? I didn't think so. I'm hungry! WE NEED WAFFLES! The author says I'm not allowed anymore sugar because I'm too hyper! I'm not hyper I'm DISTURBED! YOU ARE ALL SO WEIRD! And this is me saying this! me DEADPOOL! WADE FREAKIN' WILSON! I . just. can't. take. this. anymore. ROMY FOREVER!" and with that Wade jumped out Remy's window,neglecting to open it first,and ran off in the direction of the mall. The other two stare after him for a moment, before they continue with their previous conversation.

Wanda and Rogue had been happily chatting for about thirty minutes, when something occurred to Rogue. " Oh God! I just thought of something. I don't want a scene at my Wedding... and the way they've been acting,they will make a scene." Rogue then groans and leans back into the couch cushion.
Wanda pales and states " Oh Sh-! My Dad's gonna expect an invitation,and so's my brother!"Wanda soon joins Rogue in the 'buried' position.
Which is how the guys found them,ten minutes later. They froze in the doorway, wondering why their girls' suddenly looked so depressed. They move cautiously into the room,in case it was something they had done.
Remy crouches in front of Rogue,while John leans on the couch next to Wanda. These were the safest potions to be in if they turned angry, they had learned. Remy starts,as Rogue was less likely to destroy the house, by gently taking her hand.
" Roguey? Are you okay?" Remy asked.
" I-I can't have them at my wedding Remy. I just can't. They'll ruin the entire thing. " Rogue whispered,Wanda was nodding in agreement.
"... who?" John asks,hugging Wanda.
" My Family" Wanda states at the same time as Rogue stated " The X-men"
"Oh" John and Remy reply. Both men quickly trying to think of a solution,to avoid having to have their 'girls' upset. The Girls had also been trying to think of a solution. It appeared that all four came to the same solution at the same time.
" Vegas!" all four said together.
" We even saw the perfect Chapel while we were there!" Rogue announces. Wanda excitedly looks at her stating " Really?!" before the girls run off to Wanda's room to look it up on her computer.
" Now all we have to do is make sure none finds out until after the wedding" Remy states to John.
"...Wade already knows." John reminds him.
Then Remy remembered,Wade was 'working' for Logan, and possibly Magneto,they had never been clear on that. This was bad,this was 'we are going to die bad, not this is going to suck bad. Because even if the somehow manage to live through their future in-laws,how were they going to survive their future wives.
There was only one thing left to do,they had to shut Wade up. That in and of itself was a problem. Wade didn't shut up. Ever. So what were they going to do?
"...I think our only option is to kill him." John states.
" Non,I don't he can die." Remy replies,shaking his head.
" Then maybe we can tie him up and mail him somewhere,like the south pole."
"...John,you've been watching to many cartoons,that won't work."Remy said,now pacing.
" I know! We can pay him off." Remy says.
"...What if he won't take it." John asks.
" He'll take it he always does." Remy replied,while waking out of the out his phone. He begins texting.
{heywade}
{REMY!}
{whereru}
{r u home}
{nope,mall bout to meet claws}
{donttellhimboutwedding!}
{heknowsabouttheengagement}
{okay,chill}
A few minutes later,Remy left to pay Wade to be quiet, the others hopeful his plan would work. He walked next door,silently handing Wade a check,as Wade assured Logan on the phone that nothing new to report. Hanging up, he then states.
" So when you go to elope in Vegas, I'm going with you." ( there were listening devices around the apartment,he just hadn't past them on to Logan, Remy had found a few,but had been worried he hadn't found them all,he'd only been looking since last night.)
Remy quickly agrees and leaves before Wade can begin a tangent. Going home he says " Okay,I gave him the check,and he invited himself to the wedding,but he also already diverted Logan." They all sigh. Dealing with Wade wasn't going to be fun,but at least they weren't going to have trouble hopefully.
