EDITED: For those of you who read the love rant, I'm cut some of it out because my sis made a fus about it.
"Troubles?"
Jean was walking in her pajamas. All her surroundings were black and blank, the darkness revealing nothing. She heard raised voices; Rogue's and… her own? Jean followed them to a road to which she saw the sources. It was in fact Rogue with a copy of Jean.
"Ah told ya; go back to Jean's head. Look; Ah even made ya a road to it."
"Why should I?" Jean's personality retorted.
"Because; yer too much to handle. Ya love ta destroy things and cause havoc here. Jean's been keeping hold of ya for a long time and Ah'm sure she'll be fahne."
"Oh; alright." Jean answered, prancing toward the bridge. The real Jean got a good look at her eyes; which were red.
"Phoenix." she breathed before running off into the depths of her mind; laying down a road to 'Phoenix's room. The Personality entered Jean's mind and turned into a fiery bird, following the path Jean had put down to her containment unit. Phoenix turned to glare at Jean; who was off to the side.
"I won't stay contained for long." she warned, then charged into her box, glaring as Jean closed the door and locked it. She leaned on the door, slid down it and sighed. She quickly opened her eyes.
"Wait, how did Rogue build a road? Only telepaths can do that." She stood up when Rogue's voice boomed in her head.
"You don't remember any of this. Phoenix somehow returned to your mind; you are not sure how."
"I don't remember…." and Jean collapsed.

Rogue was sitting up in her bed.
"That was too close." she muttered. Rogue looked at the balcony and walked to it, watching the clouds. She lifted herself to the railing and stood on the edge, staring down at the ground.
"Ah have to know if Ah can do this." she said to herself. Rogue closed her eyes and fell. She opened them to see herself gliding above the grass.
"So I can fly." she smiled to herself. Rogue flew for a while before reaching a lake. She landed on it, staying on the surface.
"Interesting." Rogue put her hand on her chin and rested her elbow in her other hand. "So by using Buckethead's power Ah can repel the metal in the water slightly, causing meh ta be able ta walk on it." She did a spin. "Cool."
Laura poked her head out of some trees. She watched Rogue toy with the powers she had for a bit when Laura smelt something. She sniffed twice and looked down to see a woman at the bottom of the tree. Wait, it was Mystique!
"My child is growing up." she sighed, a smiled was visible on her face. Laura was stunned by this sudden motherly act. She looked back to Rogue; then smiled herself. She knew how Logan felt as a father to this child, and knew that it would be so mean for her not to tell him; but Rogue needed to do that on her own. There was a noise on the other side of the tree, too small for Mystique to detect it. She looked down to see brown staring back at her.
"I'm never seen Rogue have dis much fun." a Cajun voice muttered. He chuckled. "'Sept when we were ice skatin'."
Rogue slipped; falling into the water.
"Rogue!" Remy cried out, diving into the lake. He came back out with a coughing Rogue a moment later. After she coughed up some water she turned to Remy.
"What are ya doin' here, Swamp Rah?"
Remy was stunned at her hostility, causing him not to answer.
"Where you followin' me?"
"I… uh… Rogue, listen, I –"
"Ah'm not weak! Ah wouldn't have drowned or something! Ah could have used any power Ah wished to save me; and you know it!"
"Rouge, please –"
"Just leave meh alone!" and she took off in Pietro's speed.
"Rogue, wait!" he called out, running after her.
Laura watched him go. "Why does he do that?"
Mystique looked up at her.
"Why does he run after her when she is mad at him? Why does he try to make it better when he eventually just makes it worse?"
Mystique blinked. "You do not know?"
Laura shook her head.
"He loves her." Mystique looked to where he had gone. "And he will do anything for her."
Laura was silent.
"I promised Logan I'd watch her when she went on her nightly outings."
"How do you know when she leaves?"
"I don't sleep." and she dashed through the trees, leaving Mystique to herself.

Jean awoke with a cry. She shook her head, trying to clear her mind. How did Phoenix get back in?
"Jean? You okay?"
Jean looked up to see Scott in her doorway.
"Yeah, Scott, I'm fine. Just a nightmare." she said, smiling weakly.
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
Scott walked up to her and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Hey, I'm here for you."
Jean put her hand on his. "I know you are."
Scott kissed her on the cheek and walked to the door.
"Goodnight."
"Goodnight, Scott."
He shut the door behind him. Jean looked down at her sheets, resting her chin on her fists and thinking hard, trying to probe her memory, but there was some kind of wall in the way.
"Only telepaths can put up walls." she muttered to herself. She searched to find the Professor, sleeping sound in his bed.
"Could there be… some one else?"

Rogue arrived back in her room and shut the door, locking it behind her. She walked out to the balcony.
"Here Ah am again." she muttered to herself. Rogue scanned for Remy, who was nearing the Institute. She went back into the room, shutting and locking the windows. Rogue got back into her pajamas and got into her bed, slipping into the fingers of sleep instantly.
A figure landed on a balcony. It picked the lock to the windows and opened them easily. It walked over to the bed in which Rogue was sleeping; two red circles flashed in the darkness. A bare hand touched Rogue's cheek and began stroking it.
"I'm sorry Rogue." a Cajun voice whispered, a face bent down and kissed Rogue on the forehead. The figure stepped into the moonlight, revealing none other than Remy Lebeau. He left a rose on the night stand and glanced at her make-up and smiled.
"But why should I came all de way in here and not have a little bit o' fun?"
- (' . ') -
Bobby woke up and exited his room to have a certain Cajun dodge him with a certain make-up less Southern gal hot on his heels.
"Give meh back mah make-up!" Rogue yelled after Remy
"Never!" He cried back. Looks like this was going to be an average day at Xavier's Institute for gifted youngsters.
