Review...

Sadly soon enough the pair where outside The Waking Raven and with a sigh Rogue walked in just as the church bells tolled 2pm.

Chapter 5: Sneaking Out

If there was ever a good thing about living in Bayville, its that none of the shops open on Sunday, and for most works that means a day off, but not for Kurt and Rogue. No Raven was much to cruel for that to happen. Sunday's were chore days, from cleaning the house top to bottom to watering the garden to mowing the lawn and other such meaningless tasks.

The only thing that kept Rogue from going mad, was the fact that Sunday nights Raven went out and wouldn't come back until at least dawn. So when the church bells tolled 9 pm Rogue was up and climbing down the vines that grew just outside her window. She met Kurt by his motorcycle and climbed on behind him before Kurt shot off . Rouge felt free for the first time all week! She threw her arms out and inhaled the fresh forest air she yelled at the top of her lungs.

"Rogue! Shut up." Kurt reprimanded her, "We don't need people finding us."

"Sorry Ah'm just reahlly glad tah beh free of dat bitch." Rogue laughed.

Soon enough they were turning onto a dirt path and pulling up to an old, rundown, stone house. It was two floors, the second had clear signs of having a roof, but it had long ago rotted away. The forest had taken it over by now to the point that there was even a tree growing out of the fireplace. Kurt pulled his motorcycle up between a jeep and another bright red and orange motorcycle.

Rogue jumped off and smiling on the inside made her way into the house where Wanda and John sat closest to the fire pit that was a blaze with light. Tabitha, Lexa, Jubilee and Kitty danced to Tabitha's wireless boom box, that Forge had made her back when they had all been in 8th grade. Forge, Fred, Todd, and Lance where busy either watching the dancing girls or eating whatever Fred had brought them tonight.

"Hey." Wanda called finally looking up from her book and seeing Rouge.

"Hey. Good book?" she asked sitting down beside Wanda.

"Yeah, romance-adventure, werewolves, walkers, fea, vampires, and so on." she explained as she booked marked her page.

"OMG like guys listen up!" Kitty gasped before running and turning off the music and sitting down around the fire, they all soon joined listening to the small valley girl.

"So you won't believe what I heard like in the bathroom today." Kitty said smiling deviously

"Clearly you have to tell us for us to not believe it." Lance joked causing everyone to laugh and Kitty to huff and shoot a glare at him.

"Well like apparently Scott proposed to Jean last night, I even saw the gold ring with like this huge diamond in the center and two ruby's on either side of it."

"Sooo the point?" Wanda asked not seeing why Jean's life was so interesting.

"SOOO like Jean is still sleeping with Duncan every night."

John laughed his butt off and rolled onto his back before jumping up and turning the radio back on. Wanda and the others began laughing as the song began, knowing full well the routine that was about to happen for John had begun Panic! At The Disco's "I Write Sins Not Tragedies".

Oh,
Well imagine,
As I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor,
And I can't help but to hear,
No, I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words:
"What a beautiful wedding! What a beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to a waiter.
"And yes, but what a shame, what a shame the poor groom's bride is a whore."

John held a hand to his face and they all began to sing with him. Kitty and Jubilee danced about the fire and Rogue chanted along with Wanda, while the guys pretended to play on instruments.

I'd chime in with a
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in,
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of...

Rouge was really getting into it and for the first time she felt free to be herself. She was yelling along with the others and she was dancing in Kitty's strange chain dance and twirling like a witch around the dimly glowing fire. Kurt smiled as he watched his sister letting loose. John continued to mime the music video while singing the song.

Well in fact,
Well I'll look at it this way,
I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for a toast
So pour the champagne
Oh! Well in fact,
Well I'll look at it this way,
I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for a toast,
So pour the champagne, pour the champagne

Out of no where Todd came out with a liter of soda and Forge pulled cups out of Lance's jeep. They all started pouring drinks as they danced, which caused a lot of the soda to spill onto the ground, but no one really cared.

I'd chime in with a
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in,
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality.
Again...

I'd chime in,
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"

With a sense of poise and rationality.

As the song faded out Rogue sighed and fell back against the wall taking a large gulp of her soda, which turned out to be Mountain Dew. Wanda and Jubilee finished their twirls and nearly fell into the fire causing Rogue to laugh a little at the looks on their faces after Lance and John pulled them back.

"Its good to hear you laughing again Rogue." Wanda said smiling over at her.

Before Rouge could respond the next song began and she smiled wider stood and looked at Kurt. She winked and began to sing. The other girls joined in with her softly singing background with the boom box.

Sometimes I get my head in a dilly
Feeling so lost, ticking you off
Now boy, you know me well
Said, I'm that kind of feeling
That kind of soft, that kind of silly
But when I'm in doubt, I open my mouth
And words come out, words come out like

Baby, there's a shark in the water
There's something underneath my bed
Oh, please believe I said
Baby, there's a shark in the water
I caught them barking at the moon
Better be soon

Rouge laughed and danced around with the now humming circle of girls, remembering herself as a little girl when she use to sing for everyone. Needless to say this just proved just how much fun she was having for the first time in a long, long time. Wanda, Kurt and the others where sure not gonna spoil it for her.

High in the sky, the song that I'm singing
A sweet little lie, I cry wolf, cry
Rabbit in the hat yeah, so that's why I'm bringing
Some tricks up my sleeve, for noticing me
I wouldn't cause you any harm, I just want you in my arms
I can't help, I can't myself

Baby, there's a shark in the water
There's something underneath my bed
Oh, please believe I said
Baby, there's a shark in the water
I caught them barking at the moon
Better be soon

(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do ,do)
(Better be soon)
(Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do x2)

As Rogue got louder and louder the guys add in sound effects as the girls sang the do dos. None of them noticed a pair of ruby red eyes that watched them from the woods. They burned with an emotion that was hazy and bright at the same time. They stayed locked on Rogue's dancing and singing form unwilling to miss this special moment that was happening.

Right is right
Rules are rules
This is more like april fools
I'm just winding you up, oh
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Please don't make too much of it
It ain't that serious

Baby, there's a shark in the water
There's something underneath my bed
Oh, please believe I said
Baby, there's a shark in the water
I caught them barking at the moon
You better get here soon

She was now singing to the moon, arms up high as if asking to fly. Her hips swayed even as she sang in a hypnotizing way that called the others to dance with her. So they all stood and joined in with her final verse.

Baby, there's a shark in the water
Baby, there's a shark in the water
Baby, there's a shark in the water
I caught them barking at the moon
Better be soon

They all began to laugh when Kurt's watch chimed 2 am. Rogue's smile faded as she calmed down and watched as the others cleaned up the soda, cups, and John put out the fire. They all climbed onto their motorcycles or into Lance's jeep. They said their good byes before heading back to the road. The red eyes however watched until the striped haired girl had disappeared around the bend before closing and disappearing into the night.
