Let's Be Friends

.

"Good morning Ms. Louisa."

"Mornin sweetheart."

"Like have you seen Rogue anywhere?"

"I believe Anna spends most of her time making out with her boyfriend nowadays."

"Oh."

Rogue's mother raised her sunglasses on top of her head. It was obvious that the girl wanted to talk with her. She watched as Kitty bit her lip and twiddled her thumbs. Finally she sat on the lawn chair besides her.

"Ms. Louisa I haven't been a good friend."

"That's what I heard."

Kitty wanted to defend herself, but even she knew it was a losing battle, "I want my best friend back."

"Why? You said yourself that you're not a good friend."

"Everyone makes mistakes. I've tried to apologize to her."

"Were you sincere?"

Glaring quickly, "Of course."

"Look I've only known my Anna for a little while but even I know she doesn't like having her trust betrayed. You may regain your friendship, but it will be nothing like how it used to be."

"How do you know?"

"I'm older than you hun."

"Ms. Louisa I don't know what to do," Kitty said balling her small fist, "I know I need to do this. To patch things up. I screwed up first so I have the burden of making this work. I want to make it work, but how?"

"I suggest a hefty amount of sucking up."

"I figured as much." Kitty said getting up.

"Good luck kid."

Meanwhile Logan was pacing back and forth on the opposite side of Gambit's bedroom door. He had promised himself that he would be better not for himself, but for Rogue. But the sounds of those two making out was driving him crazy.

Kitty walked past the pacing Wolverine and knocked on the door where she was met with silence. She knocked again and again when she finally had enough and started yelling.

"Go away Kit!" Rogue shouted at her before going back to her ministrations.

"Anna we need to talk."

That did it. Rogue instantly jumped off Gambit and made her way to the door nearly ripping it off the hinges.

"No one calls me by that name!" Rogue growled out. No one minus her mother and boyfriend was to call her Anna ever.

"I … I just like wanted to talk."

"Ya got ten minutes."

(Gambit groans and swears in French)

"I meant five minutes."

Rouge followed Kitty to her room.

"So what ya want?" Rogue asked the moment they crossed the threshold.

"I like feel that we never finished things."

"Ya mean it didn't end te way ya wanted? Look Kit life aint a fairy tale, ya gotta get used ta not getting your way."

"I want us to be friends again Rogue. I'm sorry. I was so happy with Pete that when I saw you two together I saw you as the enemy."

"So if we're friends again will ya let a man come between us again?"

"Rogue it's not like were a couple gesh. I said I was sorry and I meant it. What more do you want?"

"It wasn't like you just said you hated me? Do you remember what you did to me Kit? Do you remember how you accused me of being a whore in front everyone? Do you remember that you attacked me? Do you remember how you let me serve our punishment alone even after you knew I was not cheating on you? Don't act like it didn't happen."

"I have not forgotten. I have to live with those consequences every day."

"You deserve too."

Kitty glared at Rogue from her bed. This was not how she envisioned it. Sure a small part of her thought that Rogue would forgive her, they'd share a hug, and the next moment they were going to Tarbucks together.

Instead she was met with hostility. It was apparent their time apart did nothing for their friendship. Rogue's gaze was still untrusting.

Looking at Kitty's clock, "I gotta go Kit. How about I tell you what I want and all tomorrow morning hmm?"

"Like sure, go run back to Gambit."

"Plan to."

Rogue Entry:

Remy had asked me to give him six months to prove himself to me. He told me that I was the judge and when time was up it was up to me if our relationship would continue or not. My mother thought that was very mature of him and he told her it was rather mature of her to have me when she was eighteen.

Of course that had the two in a tussy. But I think my mom actually likes Remy, which is good. I miss Destiny. I've had that feeling for a while that she has departed this world. I wish I knew where her grave was so that I could at least visit her once in a while …

Oh and things between Remy and I have been wonderful. When I kissed him I could almost see why Bella didn't want to share him. In fact I've been kissing him a lot lately. He says that I'm the aggressive one, but he is no matter what he might tell everyone and Kitty had the nerve to interrupt me!

I know that she wants us to be friends again and to be honest I've tired of the whole incident. But that doesn't mean I'll let Kitty get a since of security around me. What she did was wrong and I WILL make her regret that decision in a very nontraditional way of course.

I told Kit that I'd think about it. When I left I found Remy on the other side of the door. We went to my room and he held my hand for a while. He told me to give Kitty a chance, friends like the ones I have only come around once.

I sighed into him and he kissed my head amongst other things. It took a good two hours to get him out of my room. No we didn't have sex gutter minds! Anyway after he was gone I had an epiphany of sorts. I was definitely going to have an answer for Kitty tomorrow!

Kitty Entry:

Like OMG Rogue,

She makes me want to rip my hair out sometimes. What does she want? I try and try and try and she always pushes me away. Now I understand why Remy always calls her difficult. And now here I am I can't go to sleep because I'm worried about her answer tomorrow.

She probably wants me to toss and turn all night thinking about this or maybe I'm just dramatic. Ok Kitty lets be optimistic. She'll say yes and everything will go back to normal : ) …. Hopefully

The Next Morning

"Here ya go Kit." Rogue said sitting a piece of paper on the desk.

"Like what is this?"

"My answer. Read it."

"Like this is highway robbery!" Kitty complained.

"Those are the conditions." Rogue told her triumphantly.

"Suck (cough cough cough) up (cough)." Ms. Louisa told Kitty.

Kitty looked at Rogue and Rogue stared back. You could almost see the tumbleweed blow between them.

Kitty sighed before she yanked the paper and pulled a pen out of her hair and signed.

Muhahahahahaha
