Okaky kokay, Well as Gambitfan85 pointed out I neglected to mention that this is sorta AU, though the events in Cajun Spice have happened... and Rogue isn't much of a happy bunny about them. Anyway the rest should shortly be revealed. hope you enjoy.

A promise made.

Chapter 2

The seedlings.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Rogue! What the hell do you think you are doing sat on your bed in your PJ's?!" Kitty exclaimed.

"Ah'm readin' half pint, whassit look lahke Ah'm doing?" In all fairness Rogue was getting tired of reading, it had felt like it was all she ever did and with this new and improved self she felt that maybe she should be doing something somewhat more productive, and as if Kitty were a telepath...

"Up up up up up up!! Me and Jean are like gonna take you out on the tiles!" She said with gleaming eyes.

"How the hell do y' plan on gettin' in Kit? Y' only 19, and Ah ahin' goin' ta no nahppy nahght!" Rogue cringed at the thought of going to one of those dreadful places full of hormonal teenagers.

"No don't worry Rogue I've got a fake ID that Bobby and Jubes managed to get their hands on for me"

"And Jean is jus' lettin' y' use a fake Ah'D that Bobby got y'?"

"Well she did put some protest up against it but I like totally convinced her that it was for your good that you go out with like all your friends."

"And she bough' tha' crap huh? Ah don' believe thas, fahne, Ah'll go, but if y' even try and make me dahnce... Ah'll drain y' to tha lahst drop."

If only you knew, the way I dream about you.

Remy had been acting differently since the previous week when Pyro had had his little chat with him. You could often catch him just staring into his coffee mug for ages and just letting his cigarette burn in the ash tray, it was quite alarming to see usually such a cocky young man becoming a spaced out shell.

"Whassup Remy?" Pyro came into the kitchen to find Gambit staring out of the window, a cigarette hanging lazyly between his fingers.

"Hmmm?" he looked round to find his firery australian friend looking at him strangely. "After meetin' someone d' y' ever reve (dream) about dem mon ami (my friend)?" he asked.

"What you talking about Gambit?" inquired John.

"Well, y' know Wanda? When y' firs' met 'er did y' ever dream 'bout 'er?"

"Yer, sure all the time, but you remember that, I was changing the sheets almost every night" the fire crazy fool responded with a wink.

Remy fell back into thought. This wasn't the first time he had experienced these dreams about "The Rogue" they had come and gone over the last 2 years since they had last met. Taking her down to New Orleans against her will and using her had been one of his biggest mistakes concerning this tres belle femme (very beautiful girl) and it had only been after this that he had truely registered how amazing she was. Since Magneto had gone missing and the Xmen had no longer seen the Acolytes as their main priority his contact with her had gone from slim to none. Yet seeing her the other day, sat on the bench enjoying the sun and her ice cream, had revived all those dreams he had had about her.

His dreams. His own little fantasy world. They were nothing like the ones John had had before him and Wanda had got together and she had started making them a reality, no Remy's dreams of Rogue were beautiful, he would see her in flowing summer dresses reaching to just past her knees, sitting in the grass of some breath taking garden whilst feeding him all his favourite southern foods, whispering sweet nothings into his ear in her slow southern accent.

"Whats up with the ragin' Cajun?" Wanda whispered to John.

"I have no idea Shiela, he's been like it for days now, I've no idea what to do." He whispered back to his lover.

"I may have an idea." She said with a smirk.

Save your words for war and she'll save hers for you.

Rogue looked up at the sign hanging above the dingey bar they were about to enter, it was called 'The seedling'. "what an odd name for a bar" she thought to herself.

Jean was wearing a small deep emerald coloured dress that had made Scotts eyes bulge as they had walked past, you could tell that he was longing to either kiss her or yell at her for having the nerve to go out wearing whilst her boyfriend was at home.

Kitty was wearing a cream coloured simple cotton dress with small sleaves and a belt around her waiste, she combined this with a pair of black escimo boots (not the HUGE ones, more like the Ugg ones.) She had a small black cardigan on and a few chains hanging around her neck, she was hoping beyond hope that Lance would be out and see her in such a cute outfit.

Rogue was proberly the most casually dressed, opting for a pair of black skinny fit jeans with black ankle boots, a black cropped polar neck with ¾ length sleeves and a deep red large cardigan on for a splash of colour. Mainly Rogue just wanted to get drunk.

It was there turn in the queue and Jean and Rogue just walked straight past the bouncers and went to pay for their entry in the foyer and overheard Kitty struggling to convince one of the bouncers that she was in fact of latino background.

All of a sudden the bouncer just seemed to give in and handed back her ID and told her to enjoy the rest of the evening, this seemed very odd too Rogue untill she noticed Jean had her eyes closed and had raised a hand to her left temple... "Crafty" Rogue thought. "Thanks" came Jeans reply in her head. To be honest Rogue couldn't believe that goody two shoes Jean had done that but the girl had gone up quite a bit in Rogues view of her.

The three girls walked in to find the place was jammed full and found it hard to get a table till Jean instructed Rogue and Kitty to go get some drinks in while she 'convinced' a few gentlemen to leave there table and all go to the toilet at the same time, at the word convinced she winked at Rogue and walked off.

The walls are sliding colliding with me.

"Come on Remy you're coming out with us or I'll hex you till you do, and then tell everyone we meet that we're out celebrating your coming out party." She smiled evily, if it had been anyone else but Wanda who had said those words to him then Remy would have taken no notice, however with Wanda you couldn't take chances.

"K Wendy, Remy jus' gon' go 'n change 'is shirt, d'accord? (ok?)" He replyed.

"You have 5 minutes, no wait 10, you need a shave." She snapped her fingers and even John scarppered with Remy up the stairs.

Bonjour again!

Im not translating Bonjour... for obvious reasons.

Anyway, review review review, even if you do just wanna bitch at my spelling, or the complete and utter lack of length in my chapters.

I need to write 2 essays tonight, This probably means that I'll start writing one and then get bored and write the next chapter lol.

Don't quote me on that if you don't here from me for a week lol!

Anyhoooo, i was just wondering if i have any male readers? Sorry if that sounds extremely sexist but i just can't picture any guys reading this and enjoying it, though who am i to judge? But if you are a dude then drop me a line to let me know lol! ... or not S

(ps both male and female reviewers are welcomed... duh!)

I'm gonna stop now before the A/N's become longer than the chapter, you know what you need to do to shut me up, invloves a lil button saying 'go' over there on the left --
