Mistletoe
It's been months since the dinner. And Thanksgiving had come and gone, and now it was Christmas. Snow covered the ground like a thick blanket. Some of the XMEN had decided to stay for the holidays. The Christmas food was read, drinks, mostly alcohol, and everyone was laughing and having a good time. That was until they heard Rogue screech into her phone.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YA MEAN "AH'M NOT COMIN'?" though the gifts had already been give out and Rogue had gotten a diamond necklace and matching earrings for Warren when she had awaken this morning, she still expected him to come to the Christmas party that the mansion through every year since more and more of the XMEN would stay for Christmas.
"Uh oh," The soft music that was playing in the background suddenly stooped and everyone's attention was now on Rogue. No one spoke as they looked at her as is she were a ferial tiger ready to pounce. And by the look she was giving, they might just be right.
"So let meh get this straight, ya ain't comin' cause ya decided ta stay at ya job's Christmas party instead of spending time with ya wife, is that right?" Her voice was so calm that some of them actually took a couple of steps back. Whenever Rogue would do her whole "calm voice," bad things were sure to follow. Such as yelling and fighting. Sometimes both. There was a pause.
"Ya know what, have fun at ya party, but note that ya sleepin on the couch till Ah decided otherwise." Rogue said, then hung up the phone before he could reply. Her phone went off and she looked at it for a brief second, the turned it off and throw it on the couch.
"Well, what are we all standin round for? Let's get this party started again." Rogue said cheerfully as she moved toward the spiked eggnog.
HOURS LATER
"Come on Rogue, you gotta do it!" A tipsy Ren said as she draped herself on her husband. I sighed. Ren was always the first to go; she never really could hold her liquor like the rest of them. And Cam would no doubt have to force her to got bed, or they'd end up have sex, either way, she was going to bed.
"Not gonna happen Ren." Though Rogue was drunker then all of them from, she was still stubborn as a mule. She had plopped herself next to Remy, who chuckled quietly at them. The rest of the XMEN had already gone to bed, and it was only Rogue, Remy, the Tigers, and Rogue's parents that were left still up.
"Come on Rogue, pleeeeeee-" Ren started to whine, and Rogue gave in just to make her stop.
"Alright, alright."
Suddenly, Damon had used his mutant powers to conger up a Grand Piano. Rogue sighed. Looks like there's no way Ah'm gettin out of this now, Rogue thought as she started to hum.
Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me
I've been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, an out-of-space convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be oh so good
If you'd check off my Christmas list
Boo doo bee doo
Santa honey, I wanna yacht and really that's
Not a lot
I've been an angel all year
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, there's one thing I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, I'm filling my stocking with a duplex, and checks
Sign your 'X' on the line
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me
Boo doo bee doo
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
I don't mean a phone
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Through the whole song, a drunk Rogue was draping herself shamelessly on Remy. The Tigers and Rogue's parents were grinning ear to ear.
"Told you it would work. " Ren snickered.
"Remy take Rogue to her old room for us please, while we clean up this mess." Remy frowned at them, but took Rogue to her room. When he stared to enter her room, she pushed him away.
"Nooooo, no Cajun in meh room," Rogue said as she swayed. Remy laughed.
"Just tryin ta make sure yo' okay Chere," Rogue teared up.
"Ah wish Ah had married ya instead Swamp Rat." Rogue said before she kissed him. Remy was so shocked by it that he didn't respond, and before could she pulled away. The she looked up.
Rogue giggled. "Mistletoe,"' she said before she closed the door softly.
