A/N: On eBay, the person who placed the item up for auction can read the names of the users who are bidding.

Dwatts1027: Thanks so much for adding this to your Story Alert and Favorites! :oD

Lucida Lownes: Come to think of it, they do share similarities, but I didn't do it purposely. I really don't think it will take too much for him to win her over, especially in light of what her friends are doing. ;)

Chica De Los Ojos Cafe: Yeah, he is. Hmm.....I will have to think on that a bit. We'll see what happens. XD

Chellerbelle: I understand. I was pretty tired myself, last night. Anyway, I appreciated that you enjoyed reading things from his perspective. :) Sounds you had quite a day, yesterday! Me too. Time for fun back at the Mansion.

Irual: So do I! The more the better, in my opinion. :) I agree with you on everything that you wrote. I really hope it does become one of your faves! So did I as I was writing it!

courtneykutie: Aah...so you've found me again! ;) Awesome that this is in your Favorites. Hehehe...I'm having a lot of fun with this one and you will definitely see more Remy.

xdreamernumbuhfour: Ooh, another one in Favorites and Story Alert! You know, I hadn't really thought of it, but perhaps there will be... As for Pyro, I'm not sure. I think as I write, so I'll say maybe, right now.;D

Team-JEdward2010: Yeah, I know it wasn't, but I was trying to follow Evo-verse (sort of). I'm glad you liked it anyway. :^D

Disclaimer: None of this is mine.

The posting is drawing quite a bit of attention among the single young men all around the area. The bids rise on a continual basis. Even the mansion's male residents aren't immune to imagining what this young woman looks like. Many of them have put in bids, also.

A shout of frustration is heard from upstairs. "Aw, I can't believe I've been outbid again!" Kitty hears Bobby shout.

She giggles and opens her laptop. Logging into eBay, she enters the My eBay page, which shows the items she is watching. She raises the bid on the necklace she wants and glances at Rogue's posting. Her eyes widen and she quickly logs off, running upstairs. On the way to her room, she summons Jean to bring Jubes and Amara.

Kitty logs back on and the other three girls join her around the computer.

"Wow!" Amara whispers in amazement.

"Who knew she would generate this kind of attention." Jean states, astounded at the amount she's already up to.

"Yeah, and there's still five days of the auction left." Jubes points out incredulously.

Kitty giggles and points to a name. "Like, look at this. Can you guess who placed that bid?"

"Hmm...icedude51. Very subtle, Bobby." Jean says drily as the other girls laugh, but Jubilee stops abruptly.

"Hey, wait a minute! He is so dead." Her eyes narrow angrily as she stalks out of the room to confront him. Jean telepathically stops her before she can get any further.

"Jubes, stop! You've only been out with him a couple of times, right?"

"Well...yeah. Why?"

"Because if you start getting all possessive on him now, you might scare him off. You don't really know him that well, yet. Besides, the way he spends his money on video games and fast-food, do you really think he has the money to raise his bid much higher?" Jean reasons, then continues: "You can't be confronting him now, anyway. It would tell him what we are doing and he would make sure that Rogue knew what we are doing, in his own way, of course."

"What do I do, then?"

"Well, you could watch him for any telling behaviors that he may or may not be interested in you. When you do go out, observe how he acts around you. Take what you learn and decide from there." Jean advises.

Jubes sighs. "Okay, but I still don't like the idea of him bidding on Rogue, even if he won't win."

"Just remember, he doesn't know that it's Rogue he's bidding on." Jean lays a comforting hand on her shoulder.

Meanwhile, at the Brotherhood house, Pietro checks out the new listings and snickers.

"Hey guys, you've gotta see this! This chick just posted herself in an auction. She calls herself 'beautiful', but what if it's one of those things that turns out to be the complete opposite?"

"But what if she actually is?" Toad chimes in. "Wouldn't we be missin' out, yo?"

"Whoever she is, she's really raking in the bucks." Lance whistles appreciatively.

"Yeah, I pity the man who wins that one." Pietro snorts contemptuously, unaware of who the unidentified girl is.

"Aw, the bid's too high!" Toad complains. Since John, or Pyro as he prefers to be called, started dating Wanda, he's been looking for that 'special someone'.

Coincidentally, the Australian firebug and Wanda return from their date and note the gathering around the computer.

"'Ello, what's this mates? Is it time for the Victoria's Secret fashion show already?" John queries, getting a scorching glare from Wanda, as blue energy streams from her hands, throwing him into the nearest wall.

"No need ta get jealous, luv! Ya know that you're the only one for me." He extracts himself from the rubble as Wanda rolls her eyes and joins the others at the computer. She reads through the posting, then reads it more carefully a second time. Without a word to anyone, she runs upstairs to make a call.

While all this is happening, Remy locks the door to his new apartment and heads to a familiar location. Parking his bike a short distance away, he walks to the grounds and smirks. "I see that they haven't updated their security yet." He thinks to himself and leaps over the ledge, with the assistance of his bo-staff. He looks toward the tree where Rogue likes to sit. She isn't there, so he ventures a guess that she's in her room. He remembers which window is hers and finds the nearest tree. Her window is open and he can hear her singing along to "Unbreakable". Grinning to himself, he settles in and gives her a lingering once-over. She has just returned from a DR session, so she's still in uniform. "Ooh, Roguey sure looks tres belle. She looks even better than when I left her. Her hair's longer and that body's only gotten better!" His eyes take on a glow as he observes the young woman.

Suddenly, the music is shut off and he can hear her cell phone. He listens in to the conversation and is aware of the concerned feeling he is getting from her. She disappears into her bathroom and he takes it as his cue to leave, for the time being. Before he does, he leaps over to her balcony doors, sliding a small object between them. He knows where she is going. Perhaps he would make an appearance.

Next installment: A meeting takes place. What will transpire?
