Lilly lay back on her bed and looked up at the ceiling. X-23 stared at Lilly questionably.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"Tinking." Lilly replied.
"About what?" X-23 asked lying down on her own bed.
"I wan ta let Me-ma an Big daddy know how happy I am. I was gonna ta find a camera an take a bunch O pictures O everybody. Tink dats a good idea" Lilly turned and looked at X-23.
"Sure whatever." X-23 answered.
"You know sarcasm suits you well." Lilly said sitting up.
"Where are you going?" X-23 asked also sitting up.
"Ta find a camera." Lilly smiled as walked over to her luggage.
X-23 got up and followed Lilly who was currently digging through her stuff.
"Ah ha, found it." Lilly smiled proudly as she stood up holding a digital camera.
X-23 looked at the metal devise curiously.
"You wan ta try take'en some pictures?" Lilly asked. "I know I sorta hogged it on da trip up here." She smiled handing the camera to X-23.
"Uh…"
"Jus look at da screen and when ya see someth'en ya like press the big button on the top here." Lilly said pointing out things on the camera.
"Ok, back up a bit." X-23 said looking at the color screen.
Lilly did as she was told and smiled. X-23 pressed the button on the top of the camera, then a flash of light went off and an image of Lilly appeared on the screen. Lilly ran over to X-23 and looked at the picture.
"Nice." Lilly said.
"It looks…what'd that word you all ways use…cool." X-23 stated.
"Yeah, cool. My turn." Lilly said as X-23 handed her the camera.
Lilly looked at the screen and sighed.
"Come on X smile." She lowered the camera.
X-23 tried to bring the ends of her lips up but it felt so…unnatural to her.
"Jus picture someth'en funny or happy." Lilly added and raised the camera back up to her eye.
A picture of all the Hydra bases around the world crashing down to the ground in flames came to mind.
"X dat smile's creep'en me out, could ya tink O someth'en else?" Lilly asked.
X-23 then thought of her and Lilly on their bikes going off jumps and doing flips and such. The world passing by, the adrenaline rush, pure haven. There was a flash of light and X-23 was snapped out of her daydream.
"Nice, what were you tink'en bout?" Lilly asked showing X-23 the picture.
She saw herself sitting at the desk just staring out the window.
"Nothing." X-23 answered.
"Whatevah, let's take more pictures." Lilly said excitedly as she ran out the door.
Lilly smiled as she spotted her brother and his chere.
"Dis is ta good ta be true." She said looking down at them.
Remy had set up a Cajun style picnic for the two of them, and Rogue had come outside to get away from everything. She had brought out her CD player and didn't spot Remy until it was too late. They ate and talked and then Remy asked to listen to her music. She handed him her CD player while she leaned up against a tree and watched him listen. As the minutes passed Rogue relaxed and started to get tired. Remy took off the headphones and lifted Rogue so she was resting on him. Eventually he fell asleep too and Rogue rolled over. Her head and hands lay on his chest while his hands rest her back. That was how Lilly found them. She smiled and brought the camera up to her eye. She pushed the button and the flash went off. Lilly looked over to X-23 and sighed.
"Dey really do make a sweet couple, ta bad bout da no touchy ting."
Rogue twitched and then opened her eyes.
"Uh, wha." Then she saw that she was on top of Remy.
"Gaa, get off meh ya swamp rat." She yelled as she started to smack his chest.
Remy woke up and looked around.
"Chere what Remy do?" He asked.
By now Lilly and X-23 had left, they might be young but they weren't stupid.
"Ya were touch'en meh, Ah could a killed you." She screamed at him.
"Remy not afraid." He said inching closer to her.
"When will it get through ya thick head,Ah can't touch." She went onto her tiptoes so she was closer to his eyes.
"Remy don care, he jus wanna be round you." He said leaning down so their faces were only inches apart.
"But Ah…Ah…" She started.
"Is da most beautiful, intelligent and strongest person I know." Remy said.
"Ya just said Ah."
"Uh I do dat sometimes, but only when I be real serous bout someth'en. Don tell anyone please, it'd ruin my image." Remy said moving his hand to the back of his neck.
"Ah won't." Rogue said.
"Tanks." Remy smiled.
Remy started packing up the picnic and then he noticed Rogue pick up her CD player.
"By da way, dat music was nice. Not like dat other depress'en punk rock stuff ya listen ta. Who was it?" Remy asked.
"Anna Nalick. And what's wrong with the othah stuff Ah listen to?" She crossed her arms over her chest.
"Noth'en. It jus sounds like a bunch O people whine'en bout dere lives, an how bad everyone treats'em. It makes Remy worried bout whoever listens ta it." He stood up with the picnic basket in his hands.
"What do ya mean?" She asked as they started walking towards the mansion.
"In some O dose songs da people say dat everyone be better off wit out dem. Or dat life ain't worth liv'en. It jus sad ta think dat any one could feel dat way. I mean life is so precious it shouldn't be wasted." Remy looked to the ground.
"Ah never really thought of it that way. That stuff just makes meh feel like others know how Ah feel." Rogue said also looking to the ground.
"Chere you say'en you tink dat everyone be better if you wasn't here?" Remy tried to look her in the eye but she turned away from him.
By now were on the deck and Remy opened the door for Rogue.
"You didn't answer my question Rogue." Remy said as he closed the door behind him.
"Sometimes…" Rogue started.
Then Scott spotted them.
"Hey Rogue could I talk to you for a sec?" He asked.
Rogue rolled her eyes then turned to Remy.
"Ah'll seeya later?" She asked.
"Most definitely." Remy smiled.
Rogue walked over to where Scott stood and watched Remy walk down the hall to the rec room.
"What is it Scott? "Rogue asked once Remy was out of sight.
"I don't like you hanging out with him." Scott said.
"What Ah do with him is none of ya business." Rogue glared at him.
"I just don't want you to get hurt."
"Hurt, you don't want me to get hurt! Ah am more then capable of taking car of myself. Not only that but I like him, he's not afraid of my powahs and treats meh lahke a normal person." Rogue said getting ticked off.
"Rogue no one's afraid of you." Scott said inching closer to her.
As Scott spoke Rogue had slipped off one of her gloves.
"Prove it." She yelled at him and she brought her hand up to slap him.
Scott flinched and Rogue's hand stopped not even an inch from of his face.
"That's what Ah thought." Rogue said then turned and put her glove back on.
Rogue walked into the rec room and gasped at the scene on the TV.
"What's that?" Rogue asked sitting down next to Remy.
"New Orleans, da aftermath O Hurricane Katrina." Remy replied.
"Whoa." Was all Rogue could think to say.
"Is ya family still down there?" She asked turning to Remy and just noticing Lilly.
"Na, de guilds may be stubborn but dey ain't stupid." Remy said.
"Mine either, but I have some friends dat couldn't have left if dey wanted ta." Lilly said mesmerized by the T.V.
"So what are ya gonna do?" Rogue asked looking at the siblings.
"Jus call Henri, ta check up on everyone." Remy answered.
"I don know." Lilly looked to Remy.
"Can we go down dere?" she asked.
"Um…chere?" Remy turned to Rogue.
"Ya gonna have to ask the professor first but Ah doubt he'll make ya stay." She answered
Rogue looked past Remy and saw that Lilly was gone.
"What?" Rogue asked a bit dumbfounded.
"Da kid's good." Remy said smirking at the empty seat next to him.
Lilly knocked on the professor's door.
"Come in." He said.
Lilly opened the door and peeked in.
"Can we talk?" She asked.
"Of course. Come, sit down." He said looking up from his paper work.
Lilly walked in and sat down.
"You probably know bout da hurricane ready, so I'm jus gonna get ta da point." Lilly looked up.
"That's a good quality in a person." He said noticing again how she twisted her fingers when she was nervous.
"Well I have a lot O friends down dere an I wanna help dem, an not jus by sending money. By go'en down there an really help'en." Lilly said.
"So you wan to leave and go back to New Orleans." He asked.
"Maybe wit a team if it wouldn't be ta much." Lilly twisted her fingers some more.
"That is a fine idea Lilly. You'll go down with a team tomorrow morning." Xavier smiled at her immediate change in attitude.
"Tank you, tank you so much. I gotta go pack." Lilly said as she stood, shook his hand and left.
