Valentine's Day
Like Dear Diary,
My birthday is on Valentine's Day and I was like planning on Pete and I having a good time, but lately he has like always been around Rogue. I mean it's not like she stopped seeing Gambit or anything ,but it's like the other day I like saw them secretly meeting outside and like Pete gave her a package. And I like thought after Rogue and I like had our talk that she understood how much I love Pete and like you know what I'm like going to deal with this!
Rogue and Pete's Secret Meeting
"So did ya get it?"
"Vyes, I think that she'll like it."
"Yeah ya know how Kitty gets bout tis romantic stuff."
"Vyou know that Gambit is planning to do something for you as well."
"Damn."
"Hahaha, now vwat color are vyou going to wrap it in?"
"Pink what else. So do ya want me ta put te locket in er room before or after ya take er out on yall date?"
"Before please oh and do attach this card for me."
"Alright I got it."
"Thanks for vyour help comrade."
"Tat's wat best friends are for."
"Kitty is lucky to have vyou. I have Gambit and I am not sure how vwell that will work out."
February the 12
"Like thanks guys for joining me in an outside picnic and I'm sure that we will like all have a good time and like we won't forget this day anytime soon and like my birthday is in two days so like don't be shy about it. Thanks!" Kitty smiled, she planned on revealing Rogue's secret to all the Xmen residents outside the mansion at the picnic she planned and before you ask no she didn't cook the food.
Rogue noticed that Kitty was acting strangely around her all day so she went to see what was wrong hopping that Kitty didn't know about the gift Pete got her.
"Hey Kit are ya alright?"
"No!" Kitty said far too loudly.
"Wats wrong then?"
"I like thought we were friends Rogue!"
"Te las time I checked we are."
"Like I know about you and Pete."
"How'd ya find tat out?" Rogue couldn't believe Kitty knew about the gift Pete got her.
"Like I saw you two together!"
"Tagether?"
"That night outside the mansion …"
"Yeah we were tagether, but we were jus …"
"I know what you two were doing you whore!"
"Excuse me!" Rogue leered at her.
"It is not like that Katya." Colossus interjected. Gambit ran to Rogue's side. He knew her temper was very short and Kitty was pushing it. The rest of the occupants had quieted and were listening to the girls arguing.
"Hey 20 on Kitty winning." Bobby whispered to Tabatha.
"I raise you 50 on Rogue."
"Deal."
"Now now half pint I think that's enough." Logan interjected.
"I am like so glad you stepped up Logan!"
"Don't do it Kitty."
"Do what Rogue? Tell everyone your secret?"
"What secret?" Logan couldn't help but ask.
"I am like so glad you asked Logan. Did you know that Rogue actually hated that van you got her? In fact she hated it so much she kept trying to bribe all of us into helping her get rid of it."
"Is this true Rogue?" he asked her noticing all the guilty looks amongst the crowd.
"Yeah, it's true."
"And Logan did you like know that when you like caught Gambit and Rogue in the van that Rogue initiated it so that you would be the one to get rid of her van for her and Gambit would take the fall. Like could you believe Gambit actually was innocent for once !"
"What happened in the van?" Bobby couldn't help but ask.
"Only some really sensual, sexual, R rated stuff. Logan knew but just didn't won't Rogue to get kicked out. But how do you feel now Logan that you know she used you just to get what she wanted? I thought she at least cared about you like family!"
Rogue was quaking in anger. Logan was really crushed. Why didn't she just say she didn't like it? How come Gambit didn't tell the truth? The rest of the occupants were silent.
"I asked ya Kit not ta say anythang!"
"Well next time you'll think about taking someone else's man!" Kitty pointed an accusing finger at her as Rogue reached into her pocket and threw something at her. Kitty bent down and picked up the gold locket with a pink heart on the end of it. It was beautiful.
"Are ya happy now ya stupid bitch, Pete an I was meetin in secret ta buy ya tis nice birthday gift fer yall secret date this Friday. Maybe ya shoulda got ya facts straight before ya went all crazy in front of everyone."
"Rogue I'm sorry …"
"I don want ta hear it! Ya set this whole thang up ta tell everyone my business, if ya were really my friend ya would had discussed tis wit me at first. Instead ya jus had ta get all worked up fer notin!"
"I like didn't know…"
"I like didn't blah blah blah … oh go ta hell Kitty!"
"Rogue apologize!" Logan had refound his voice. Rogue turned around slowly to face him. Behind her Gambit was giving 'don't do it' signs to Logan.
"No I aint gonna apologize ta her! But I will say tat I'm sorry Logan. I knew if I told ya I hated it it woulda hurt ya feelings, but te truth is how could ya expect me ta like it? If I gave ya a car tat goes 10mph on te highway ya wouldn't be happy 'bout it either."
"But like Rogue you did kind of go overboard."
"No one was talkin to ya."
"That's it!" Kitty got upset and smacked Rogue across the face. The sound echoed across the huge lawn.
Rogue glared at Kitty violently before swinging out. Rogue knew Kitty could phase. That was the point. Kitty always gets tiered quickly. Finally one of Rogue's punches made contact with Kitty's nose. The crack and spit and blood that came from her face as the blow landed definitely got the kids interested.
Kitty fell to the ground in pain and Rogue went with her. The first punch once again hit her nose, the second hit her lip, and the third her left eye. Kitty was unconscious after the first heavy blow and after the third Gambit had finally managed to pull Rogue off still holding some of her brown hair between her fingers.
Logan cut Kitty lose, picked her up, and walked past Rogue with a look of utter disgust on his face. Bobby was handing over the money. The Professor was obviously not happy. Scott and Jean in their near twenty years with the Professor had never seen him so angry.
"Rogue …"
"I know Remy I got carried away."
"Ya did but …"
"But?"
"In a way tat was kind of a turn on."
"Is that all ya think about?"
"It's what you think about!" Logan yelled at her with his back turned as he opened the doors and took Kitty to the hospital wing.
"Tat's not helping Logan!" Gambit yelled back at him.
"It'll be ok Cherie, ya family always looks out fer ya."
"I'm not so sure tis time Rems."
Professors Office
A recently awoken Kitty and an angry Rogue sat in front of the Professor.
"In light of recent events Kitty three weeks punishment and Rogue five."
"Wat tat aint fair!" Rogue shouted.
"Well it's like not fair that you hurt me!" Kitty countered.
"Well excuse me Kitty. When I told ya tat I recall sayin sometin bout ya gonna regret it if ya told someone an ya told everyone!"
"Everyone deserved to know!" Kitty shot back.
"An who died round here an made you King!"
"That's enough Rogue." Logan told her. She couldn't believe that Logan would completely turn his back on her because she lied to him once in their time together. And Kitty had used up all her patience outside leaving Rogue more than willing to speak her mind.
"Oh now yer on Kit's side cause I hated tat van."
"I'm not on anyone's side." Logan told her gently.
"Ya know Logan … lying doesn't suit ya."
"Rogue that is enough." The Professor stopped them.
"Fine then, so why my punishment longer than Kit's?"
"Rogue this is a school and certain behaviors are intolerable. You should be thankful that I have not expelled you."
"Oh cut te crap ya probably already knew wit ya telepathic supah brain powers. Te only reason ya aint kicked me out was cause it would hurt Logan's feelings, but since Logan don't seem ta mind me leavin now …"
"Watch your mouth Rogue!" Logan warned her again.
"Rogue like are you crazy? You don't like just go and talk to him like that!" Kitty agreed pointing at the Professor.
"Hmpf." Was Rogue's only response.
"You both should know better than that. Kitty if you have relationship problems in the future then I suggests you work them out with Pitor before you accuse someone. And Rogue your behavior today was quite atrocious."
"Charles if I may?" Storm asked before talking, "The current situation should only apply to today's events. Not the one's that occurred in the past. Also I do hope that you're taking into account that Kitty provoked Rogue."
"Any other student would get the same punishment." The Professor reminded her.
"And may I once again reiterate Kitty provoked Rogue, the once Brotherhood and raised by Mystique member. It is like a mouse trying to wrestle a hawk. Kitty knew that it wouldn't work out. And to Rogue's other actions you are being slightly judgmental. If you are going to punish her than punish Logan and I we both know that we have had plenty of time in each other's bed rooms."
"But Storm, we are adults!" Logan noted not at all happy she told the Professor that.
"But we all live under the same roof…" Storm countered.
"That still doesn't mean …" Logan started.
"Logan may I speak frankly," Storm asked not really waiting for a response, "The only reason you are so hurt is because she did that with Gambit, if it were someone else like … Pete for instance you would not be so angry now."
"Grr!"
The Professor calmed the elder two before continuing on, "Rogue you cannot just injure another member of the team because you were angry. And if you wanted to simply subdue her then maybe you should had simply touched her."
"Like yeah Rogue!" Kitty agreed.
"I don wan my hands nowhere near 'er flesh!" Rogue said meeting Kitty's eyes.
"My flesh is far more pure than yours!" Kitty whined.
"Tat aint wat Lance told me!" Rogue replied rolling her eyes.
"I like so totally hate you now Rogue!"
"I second tat!"
"Girls get along or else." Logan interjected.
"Or else wat?" Rogue challenged.
"That's it Stripes your off the team."
"Wat ya cant do tat!"
"Watch me!"
"Jus cause I don like Kitty don mean I'm gonna treat 'er bad when we go on missions!"
"Like I wouldn't believe her. Like you all saw how bad her temper was today!"
"Well ya know Kit sometin bout betrayal jus doesn't set right wit me!"
"Oh not the 'Mystique was mean to me again' story!"
"Oh not te, 'Look at my innocent face how can ya accuse me' routine!"
"I am not trying to trick them!"
"Come on Kit ya been holdin ya face fer te las ten minutes an if I have ta see ya wit tat Elizabeth Swan 'oh te heat' look on ya face again I'm gonna puke!"
Then there was a knock on the other side of the door.
"Come in." the Professor spoke aloud. Inside both Scott and Jean came in.
"What are you doing here?" Logan asked them.
"We just want a quick word Logan." Scott answered pulling Jean closer to him.
"Fine you got ten seconds." Logan said motioning for them to start.
"Professor," Jean started, "We were listening the whole time and we were thinking the easiest solution would be to give them an equal punishment length. We completely understand that both of their actions were uncalled for but the rest of us would rather not have a divided house, if you understand my meaning."
"Also Professor," Scott started, "You told me that the difference between being a boy and being a man was the decisions you make in life. You also told me that someday you want me to take over for you and well I think that both you and Logan are emotionally compromised."
"Emotionally compromised?" The Professor asked.
"Yes, you see Logan is way too close to the issue to be an official judge on the matter. In your case, and I don't mean any respect by it, I believe that you feel challenged. Like you know when people question your authority. By these two misbehaving you are left to make a critical decision. If you punish them lightly others may do the same thing they did and if you punish them harshly then you'll lose the respect of your students. In either case I agree with Jean, make it two months for the pair and give them both equally grueling tasks. Don't take either of them off the team. They are both critical and we still are family granted a strange one, but a family none the less." Scott finished.
"I understand what you are trying to say Scott, but you don't have my years of experience. My verdict still stands and yes Rogue you are still off the team and I don't want either of you around your boyfriends Logan will make sure of that."
Two weeks later
Hey it's me again,
Logan's been a real bastard lately. He doesn't even patrol Kitty and her whole first week in bed he made me tend to her an make sure she was ok. Tat is some b.s. Kitty doesn't deserves ta get treated better than I do! She played wit fire an got burnt. Tat happens sometimes. An Logan even let's Kitty train, I'm 100% forbidden from entering the danger room and he scraped te car Remy bought me. Speaking of him he's in te med bay again. He refuses ta let Logan be mean ta me an so he keeps comin round and Logan keeps hurtin him. Te boy'll lose a limb or two if I don do sometin soon.
An can ya believe tat Logan swept my room an took out te tv, my music, my I-Pod, an any other source of entertainment. I can't even use my laptop unless I have a slip from te teacher sayin tat I'll need it fer my project! Then at school he always picks me up and drops me off. Sometimes he tries ta talk ta me. I aint stupid. I know I hurt his feelings an he shouldn't had fount out te way he did. But he aint gotta get back at me tis way.
Then if he see's me havin any free time he drags me ta te jet ta clean it even if I jus left te damn thang an las Tuesday we walked right pass Kitty talkin ta Pete. Te only positive thang bout tat is tat Pete was so upset wit 'er behavior tat he dumped 'er.

Graduation
Since even after her punishment was officially over Logan had still been up her butt and refused to put her back on the team, thus she made valedictorian, "Thank ya very much fer te award even though I know ya aint want ta give it ta me. I jus wanted ta say tat when we all go out inta te world tat we remember all te experiences tat bought us here wither they be good or bad and apply them ta te real world 'cause now's te time ta make our own path an stand on our own two feet. But tat doesn't mean we can't get help every once in a while. I wouldn't be here taday if it weren't fer a sweet blind lady down south named Destiny an my … mother Irene, my brotah Kurt, my friends, and Remy. So wit tat said I'd like ta present te class of 2010!"
Everyone threw up their caps as Rogue walked off the stage. Kurt was so happy he got mentioned and surprised that she mentioned Mystique. Although unbeknownst to her both Destiny and she were present.
"Congratulations Anna." Gambit told her before reaching into a hug.
"Back off Gumbo," Logan growled, "And you did good kid."
"Thanks Remy." Rogue chose to ignore Logan.
"Congrats Rogue." Kitty said a safe distance away. They were finally back on speaking terms, but they have nowhere near reconciled with each other.
Rogue muttered a thank you to her when she noticed Wanda plus the rest of the Acolytes present.
"I got you a gift Rogue! Open it!" Wanda chanted flinging herself at Rogue.
"Te new Poison Ivy CD ye rte best!" she thanked Wanda as Logan ripped it from her hands.
"No music kid, remember?" Logan simply stated. Before Rogue could give him a rather rude response Magneto spoke up.
"I have noticed young one that your … talents are going to waste sitting at home doing nothing in the mansion. Why not join me? If you like I'll make you team leader. You will never have to worry about this humiliation (he pointed to Logan) ever again."
"Gee ya offer almost sounds temptin, but I got my own plans."
"Your own plans?" Logan asked.
"I'm movin out, are ya comin Swamp rat?"
"Oui."
