Chapter 10

"Normal, normal, normal, normal," repeated Rogue's a hundred times as she was digging through her clothes trying to find something to wear. "Normal isn't even in my vocabulary!" she cried in frustration.

Despite the fact that Remy would be there tonight was still going to be utter hell. If it were anyone else she would just clobber them and have Remy to herself all evening, but this was Kitty, still she should be furious and she knew it. A part Rogue of was ready to beat the shit out of her, but another part of Rogue felt like she was Kitty's older sister. Even though it was three years ago Rogue knew what it was like to be sixteen. It's every girls dream to want to hang out with the popular kids and be accepted by everyone, but this wasn't the right way to do it and Rogue was determined to make Kitty see that.

After half an hour of debating Rogue finally went with the only blue pair of jeans she had and the same green tank top she had worn the night Remy showed up, only she was feeling mischievous, now that she could touch for a short time and all, so she unbuttoned the front a little, actually a lot, more than usual.

Then she went to her makeup mirror and didn't even bother to put on eyeliner and she avoided blush because she suspected Remy would make her do quite a bit of that tonight. She simply applied the tiniest bit of dark red lipstick, knowing perfectly well it made her lips look delicious. Well, she thought, tonight I'm going to repay the Cajun for doing my homework, oh geeze, now the he's got me thinking dirty things.

She put her hair into a quick ponytail and grabbed her bag, taking one quick look in the mirror, concluding that it was as normal as she would ever get. But before she left she grabbed her gloves and put them into her purse, just incase something went wrong and she need them.

She found Remy standing by the door shuffling a deck of cards. She made a noise to indicate she was standing at the top of the stairs, she just starred. He was wearing another pair of ratty old jeans and a grey t-shirt with the ace of spades settled on the front. His hair was hanging loosely across his face and he looked as if he didn't have a care in the world.

When she finally began to descend the stairs she got his attention and smiled at his gaping face. "Le bien-aimé est vous essayant de me tuer?!"he stated.

Rogue rolled her eyes, "You know ah don't speak French Cajun!" she replied with a sarcastically angry tone.

"I asked, sweetheart are you tryin' to kill me?" explained Remy wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Ah will if you don't shut up an kiss meh swamp rat," she said wrapping her arms around his neck as he leaned in and planted a sweet quick kiss on her lips.

They pulled apart quickly; Kitty's angry footsteps could be heard down the hall. Rogue gapped and Remy was shocked. Kitty was wearing a green miniskirt, with the lowest cut tank top imaginable, high heels, her makeup was heavy, and she had her hair curled. The only word that came to Rogue's mind was slut-bag.

"Let's get this thing over with," she snarled as she approached Remy. "What the hell are you doing here?" she asked looking at Rogue.

"Ah'm comin' wit you," said Rogue, "after all," she said smirking to Remy, "it wouldn't be right if ah left you alone wit this swamp rat."

"Precisely," agreed Remy who opened the door and bowed slightly.

"Wait, wait, wait!' snapped Kitty, "This wasn't part of the deal!"

"Neither was that outfit," Rogue snapped right back. "If you wanna go get Logan that's fine sugah, but he ain't gonna let you go anywhere when he sees you in that."

Kitty threw her hands in the air and grunted miserably, "Fine!" She began stomping her way to the car that Remy was practically stealing from Scott.

Kitty hopped into the back cussing words that Rogue had never even heard before. Oh well, she thought, let pretty Kitty be angry, she'll just tire herself out.

The car ride to the theater was silent, save Rogue was screaming kiss me with her eyes every time Remy looked at her, and for some reason Scott had Brittany Spears greatest hits blasting out of his stereo.

When they arrived they saw the intended group they were suppose to meet up with. It consisted of Amber, who was dressed the same as Kitty, only different colors, another one of Amber's mindless drones named Prissy, and two guys from the football team. Rogue couldn't recall their names at first then remembered they were Stevie and Brandon, two of the horniest guys at Bayville High.

What is Kitty thinking hanging out with these people? Rogue asked herself and looked to Remy and knew he was thinking the same thing.

"Hey girl," said Amber wrapping her arms around Kitty and looking to Remy. "And I take it this is that sexy hunk I saw you flirting with the other day."

"Damn straight it is," said Kitty throwing a fake smile at Remy.

"And whose, oh god!" said Amber looking to Rogue. "It's you!" She grabbed Kitty's arm hard and whispered through clenched teeth, "What the hell is that goth freak doing here?"

"I like couldn't help it," Kitty whispered back, trying to pull out of Amber's painful grip. "I was told I had to bring her if I was going with him."

"I swear if you ruin my chances at a three sum with Stevie and Brandon, I will…" Began Amber before Stevie walked over to Rogue.

"Rogue!" he said holding out his hand. "I like totally can't believe it's you, I remember when we were partners in English and had to do a skit from A Midsummer Night Dream, what a hoot that was."

Rogue took his hand and shook it, "Yeah it was. Sorry to crash the party this evenin."

"No not at all," said Prissy taking Rogue by the arm. "Gosh, who would have thought that under all that makeup you'd be so pretty?"

Amber's jealousy senses began to perk up. "Well why are we all just standing her?" she said taking Stevie and Brandon by their arms, "Lets go get seats."

Once they had gotten their tickets and found their seats, taking the ones in the very back. Rogue set herself on the end of the isle by Remy on his right, while on his right sat a very angry Kitty, who was covering it very well as she talked to Prissy about the new mall that just opened.

Remy gave Rogue one of his million dollar smirks just as the light went down and his arm was immediately around her waist. She wanted desperately to lay her head on his shoulder, but figured that would be a bad idea as Logan's threats echoed in her head.

After only the first half hour of the film Rogue was already bored stiff. She had been spacing off the entire time, the only thing she understood of the plot was that Reese Witherspoon was a princess in another life and Luke Wilson was her prince and the only thing that linked them was a necklace, etc., same Reese comedy plot.

Just when she thought she could take no more she felt Remy's hand move up her side, it slightly tickled and when she squirmed almost bursting out into a laugh, Remy's hand went from her waist to her leg. He began to gently massage farther and farther up her leg till he reached her thigh and pinched her. Rogue let out a burst of laughter and it was lucky for her that Reese Witherspoon had tripped or something at the exact same moment asn made everyone else laugh. Rogue was about to move his hand away when she suddenly felt a jolt of excitement in her spine and his hand swept over that area in between her legs. Even though she was wearing jeans his touch felt like fire.

"Oh my god!" cried Prissy.

Were busted! Rogue's mind screamed as Remy removed his hand.

"Stevie, Brandon, look at Remy's contacts! They are like glow in the dark!"

Brandon looked up from kissing Amber and Stevie moved to the edge of his seat to check it out.

"Cool dude!" cried Brandon, receiving a "shush" from the entire audience. "You'll have to tell me where you got those later," he whispered, returning his attention to a very horny Amber.

Stevie settled back into his seat and Prissy and Kitty turned their attention back to the movie.

Remy and Rogue smiled at each other and both figured they had better not make such a risky move again. So with a sigh Rogue sat through another hour of the romantic garbage, with Remy right beside her, not being able to touch him, and for the first time in her life it was not because of her powers.

When the movie was over everyone parted for their own way, Prissy left with Stevie, ruining Amber's plans, and Brandon said he would bring the car around for Amber. It left Remy, Rogue, Amber, and Kitty standing silently on the street corner, a place Amber was probably very use to, thought Rogue.

Amber broke the silence by giving Kitty a curious look up and down. "Wow Pryde, I never thought you'd wear one of my outfits, but wow it makes you look sexy," said Amber. "But next time we better get you a shirt that covers your stomach; you got some fat right here." Amber pinched the half ounce, hardly even noticeable, of fat on Kitty's tummy.

Kitty blushed, "Like too much Ben and Jerry I suppose," said Kitty. "I'll start a diet right away."

"When you do let me know," said Amber eyeing Brandon's convertible as it pulled in front of the theater. "I got these amazing pills you can use, well good night skank!" Amber gave Kitty a quick kiss on the cheek and soon she and Brandon sped off down the street.

Remy began to walk down the street to the car when Rogue stopped him, noticing a Ben and Jerry's across the street, knowing Kitty could never resist.

"Were going to get some ice cream real quick Rems, how bout you go rent us some movies," said Rogue giving him a wink.

"Sure thing," said Remy who walked further up the street and disappeared into the movie store.

Rogue took Kitty by the hand and led her across the street. Everyone at the Institute had been informed about Rogue's success with Miss Steele, but still Kitty jumped as Rogue took her hand, but seeing Ben and Jerry's and craving some cookie dough ice cream, she let Rogue lead her into the little shop.

There was no line and Kitty ordered a large bowl of cookie dough while Rogue ordered a large vanilla and a large chocolate not entirely sure which Remy liked. As Rogue and Kitty stood there Rogue watched Kitty, noticing for the first time the black bags under her eyes from lack of sleep.

"Ah didn't much care for ya friends tonight Kit," said Rogue. "They don't seem very, you."

Kitty shrugged, "People change Rogue, you should know that yourself," she said.

"Yeah, but not in the way you've been changin' Kit. How much farther do you have to reduce yourself to their level before you realize you're not like them?"

Rogue could see Kitty's eyes glaze with tears. "Rogue, don't even like try to understand, you can't even imagine," a single tear fell down Kitty's cheek and Rogue saw the old Kitty again. "I've wasted my whole High School life being the smart girl; I just want to know what it's like to be popular before…"

The door to the shop opened and it was none other than Toad and Lance. Kitty took in a sharp breath and bite down on her lip as she looked forward trying to push her hair in front of her face.

Toad and Lance had been laughing about something but Lance stopped the instant he realized who the girl in the mini skirt was. "Kitty!" he said stunned.

Kitty wouldn't look at him she just kept on starring at the wall.

"Hey Lance, hey Toad," said Rogue

Toad nodded but Lance had already forgotten Rogue was there, "Kitty! What? Why are you dressed like that?" he asked.

"Having myself a little fun Lance," said Kitty still not looking at him. "You know all about that though don't you."

"Kitty listen to me," walking over so he stood towering over Kitty. "What happened with Boom Boom wasn't what you think it was! She was teasing me and when she stole my shirt she ran into my bedroom. I tried to grab it from her but she pulled me down and kissed me! Kit, you know I would never ever hurt you like that!" he took in a deep breath trying to keep his voice steady, "I know you hate me right now but…"

"No Lance!" cried Kitty letting her tears fall; "I don't hate you!" she looked up at him for the first time, "I only hate myself!"

Lance froze for a moment, "This isn't about Boom Boom is it?" he asked.

"I can't do this anymore!" Kitty shouted and she took off out the door.

Rogue threw a twenty down on the counter and grabbed the ice cream. "Kitty, wait!" Rogue cried as she took off after her. She was so worried about Kitty that she didn't hear Lance shout "Fuck!" as he through a table across the room.

"Dis some crazy shit here," said Toad, who had stood to the side, completely confused, "I just wanted some ice cream."
