So here's another chapter, although this fic wasn't meant to be more than a oneshot, actually. ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­This is from a slightly different P.O.V. from everyone else at the mansion.

"Quick! She's coming!" Sam drew his head back from the doorway, where he could see Rogue coming down the hall. Jubilee, Ray, and Bobby were huddled together on the floor around a pile of cards.

"Wait! Who's got the queen of hearts?"

"I got it." Bobby pointed down at his hand. Sam quickly slid down beside him and picked up his own hand. A moment later, Rogue stood over them.

"What are you guys doing?" She bent over.

"We're playing big two." Jubilee explained.

Bobby, at this indication, slapped down a card. "Hah! Queen of hearts! Beat that!" Rouge looked up, seemingly startled, and then quickly exited without a word.

"Do you think that helped?" Jubilee asked. Sam shrugged.

"I dunno, but there are still Kitty, Jamie, and Kurt's plans to deal with."

Kitty peered out from her hiding spot in the kitchen. From her vantage point behind the garbage can, she could see Rogue's feet trek across the floor to the fridge, then to the table.

Perfect. Kitty thought gleefully. Sinking her head back down to join her body on the level beneath her, she walked around until she was underneath where she estimated Rogue's seat to be.

Kitty phased herself up, not two feet from where Rogue sat.

"Woah!" Rogue exclaimed.

"Gee! Like, sorry Rogue." Kitty gave a noncommittal shrug and walked over to the pantry. Spotting the Pringles she had carefully placed there just hours before, she grabbed the canister and took the seat across from Rogue. Undoing the lid, she grabbed some chips and proceeded to chew as loudly as she could.

Finally, this caught Rogue's attention and she looked up. Kitty held the canister out to her.

"Want some? They're my favorite flavor. Spicy Cajun." She put a very slight emphasis on Cajun.

Rogue then proceeded to choke. Kitty immediately rushed up to help her, while turning the canister so the words were facing her.

As Kitty pounded on Rogue's back, she could see her staring at the canister and grinned a little, then returned to 'worried friend' voice.

"Rogue! Rogue! Are you like, okay?" Rogue coughed in response.

"Yeah. I'm all right. I think I'll go now." She stood up quickly and left, leaving Kitty with a confused expression on her face that was wiped out the moment Rogue was gone.

Well. Kitty thought satisfactorily. If that doesn't get her thinking, Jamie and Kurt sure will.

She took a couple more chips and reclined in her chair, smirking victoriously.

"She's coming this way." Amara, like Sam, was playing lookout.

"Is the tape in?" Rahne asked, concerned.

"Yeah, I put it in and fast forwarded it to the right part. Who was the dork that taped National Geographic, anyways?"

"It doesn't matter; just make sure it works right!" Amara jumped in, and then slid into a chair. "Shh!" Rogue came in a second later. The TV had been turned to a kiddy cartoon, which she paid no mind to, just slid onto the sofa. A commercial break came on. Rogue closed her eyes, which Rahne noticed and nudged Jamie with her toe.

Jamie got to work with remote, switching to VCR and pressing play.

"And the South American swamp rat is a very intriguing species…" The TV blared. Rogue's eyes opened.

"S'cuse meh." Rogue excused herself and ran out. Jamie, Rahne, and Amara exchanged grins. "I think we're getting to her."

Rogue barely noticed Roberto standing around in the hallway as she made for her room and slammed the door.

Roberto went around the mansion, looking for Kurt until he found him in the library.

"Kurt! Rogue's in her room." Roberto reported. Kurt nodded. "Thanks, dude." He teleported himself away.

Rogue leapt up as he appeared in her room.

"Ahh! Kurt! Don' do that!"

"Sorry, Rogue. I vas just vondering if you could help me vith my French." He watched Rogue's eyes become the size of dinner plates. Then she pushed him out the door.

"Sometime later, fuzzy. I'm not so good at it anyway. Ask Ms. Perfect or someone." Kurt managed to hear, then the click of the door being locked. He grinned and leaned his ear against the door, barely managing to make out the sounds of a phone being dialed.

"Yes! Success!" He teleported away to the meeting room where everyone involved was waiting.

"So?" Kitty demanded right away. "What did she do?" Everyone clamored around to hear.

"I think she's calling him!" Kurt proclaimed. Everyone cheered.

"How do we know? What if it's not tonight? I mean, this was fun, but I don't want to do it everyday…" Jubilee added.

"I'll, like, sit in the front hall and, like, see if she goes out." Kitty volunteered.

"What about Wolverine?" Ray asked. "If he finds out, won't he try to prevent it?"

"Good thinking. We need a distraction. A long one that'll last for a whole date." Sam added.

Bobby immediately volunteered.

"Like, hey, Rogue. Where are you going?" Kitty looked up from the book she was pretending to read.

"Ah'm, uh, goin' out."

"On a date?" Kitty watched her roommate turn interesting shades of pink.

"Well…not exactly, ah mean, it's more of a…" Kitty triumphantly leapt up.

"You totally are going on a date! Like, with who?" PleasepleasepleaseletitbeGambitdon'tletitbesomeguyshepickedtogethermindoffhimhe'ssocute-

"Ah…ah…"

"It's Gambit, isn't it? He's like, the only guy you would go out with!" Kitty added on hopefully. Rogue blushed until she resembled a tomato.

"Ah ha!" Kitty jumped in glee, then stopped.

"What's Logan gonna do?" She wondered if Rogue thought about this as much as everyone else had, and that distraction was not needed. The doorbell rang.

"Ah guess we're gonna find out." Apparently not.

"You'd better, like, get to it before him." Rogue hurried to the door, but before she could open it, Logan somehow popped up and reached for the handle. Doooooooooom.

"No!" Rogue yelled, but it was too late; Wolverine and Gambit stood facing each other, Gambit with a bouquet of roses. Kitty internally squealed.

"This is gonna be, like, totally good." Kitty whispered as she stood behind Rogue, while mentally thinking, Bobby, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up…Rogue just bit her lip.

"Gambit." Logan snarled. "What are you doin' here, bub?" And he promptly unsheathed his claws and thrust them at his head. Kitty screamed. She didn't think Wolverine was going to try and kill him, for God's sake! Just hurt him a little, maybe. Probably.

"No!" Rogue yelled. Gambit flipped backwards, landing on his feet, making sure not to crush the flowers.

"I ain't here ta fight!" He said as he continually dodged Wolverine's attacks. "I'm-here-on-a-date-with-Rogue!" Logan immediately stopped and turned around very, very slowly.

"Rogue." He drew out very slowly.

"Um…Yes?" She squeaked.

"Is the king of idiots telling the truth?" Rouge turned even paler than usual, if that were possible.

"Um…YouknowwhatI'vegottahgoandIhopewecanfinishthisconversationlaterbutI'veREALLYgottahgosoBYE!" Rogue leapt through the doorway, grabbed Gambits arm, and before he knew what was happening, they were through the gate and around the corner.

"Why that sneaky, little-"

"Uh…Mr. Logan, I think Bobby blew up the game room!" Kitty lied quickly. Why is Bobby so late? Blow up the stupid game room already!

Logan, looking utterly unconvinced, looked back and forth between the gate and the mansion. Then there was a large explosion.

Kitty covered her mouth and sighed in relief. Just in time. She followed Logan as he proceeded to seal Bobby's fate.

Kitty swung her legs against the bedpost, waiting for Rogue to come back. She was just too excited. Rogue finally going out with Remy! The minute Rogue cracked the door open, Kitty bombarded her with questions.

"So like, how was it? Where did he take you? What didja guys do? Tell me like, everything!"

She kept her voice low.

"Ah'll tell ya tomorrow." Rogue muttered with her back to Kitty. "I'm beat raht now. Good night."

Disappointed, Kitty switched the light off. "Good night." She grumbled back.

Oh, well. I'll just get details tomorrow. She thought. And I guess so will Kurt, and Jubilee, Amara, Rahne, Jamie, Ray, Bobby, Roberto, and Sam…
