So I lied

Are you the now or never kind

In a day

And a day love

I'm gonna be gone for good again

Are you willing

To be had

Are you cool

With just tonight

Here's a toast

To all those who hear me all too well

Here's to the nights

We felt alive

Here's to the tears

You knew you'd cry

Here's to goodbye

Tomorrow's gonna come too soon

~~~Here's to the Night, by Eve 6

"Just put on the fricking dress Rogue!" Marie said to herself angrily as she paced back and forth in front of her bed. The plum evening gown lay faultlessly out in front of her, it's silken edges caressing her comforter.

Marie looked at herself shamefully in her mirror. Her hair was done, her makeup was done, all that remained was that dress. That dress that she just couldn't steel herself to put on!

"Why can't you just put in on Rogue? Huh?" Marie berated herself, "Is there any reason that you feel this bad about a stupid dress?"

Logan.

A small voice edged into the back of her mind.

Oh damnit, why did I tell him? Marie thought in dejection as she sat down hard on her wooden floor.

It was a stupid thing to do really .. She had just been so overcome with nervousness that afternoon; she had tried so hard to cover it up for Logan.

Well that backfired! Marie thought sullenly, he didn't know I was nervous, but he defiantly found out about tonight!

Marie just couldn't understand herself sometimes, she hadn't wanted Logan to know about Bobby's plans for that night, but she still felt upset that he hadn't even reacted. He didn't even seem too upset.

"Just put the dress on and don't worry about anything," She whispered to herself as she stood up, "Just because he didn't show he was jealous doesn't mean that he wasn't fuming inside."

Yea! That's it! Rogue thought to herself as she grabbed the dress off the bed, he was probably really angry, he just didn't show it.

"Besides," she said to herself as she began to step into the dress, "It doesn't matter what he thinks, Bobby and I are going to have a great night, and that's that!"

***************************************************************

"This night is going to be terrible!" Logan growled to Scott as he fruitlessly attempted to tie his borrowed bow tie, "And there's no way and hell I'm wearing this!" he said angrily as he threw the tie down on the floor.

Scott laughed appreciatively from across the room.

"OK Logan, you don't have to wear the tie if you don't want to," Scott said, pulling on his own jacket, "But at least wear the pants and the dress shirt, you look great!"

Logan looked at himself in the mirror sullenly. He was wearing a pair of black dress pants and a white dress shirt. Logan had already opened the top three buttons of his shirt but he still shrugged uncomfortably under the stiff fabric.

"Fine!" He said bitterly, "But I'm rolling up the sleeves!"

************************************************************

Days swiftly come and go.

I'm dreaming of her

She's seeing other guys

Emotions they stir

The sun is gone.

The nights are long

And I am left while the tears fall.

Did you think that I would cry,

on the phone?

Do you know what it feels like,

being alone?

I'll find someone new

Swing, Swing, Swing from the tangles of

My heart is crushed by a former love

Can you help me find a way

To carry on again.

~Swing, Swing, by the All American Rejects

***************************************************

Rogue walked into the dance hall tentatively, he eyes searching the crowd for a familiar face. Ever since the school had been fixed up, the students were still a little jumpy, this party was supposed to celebrate the fact that they had survived the attack. Clumps of all aged students mingled around the hall, some dancing uncertainly to the Christina Aguilera song that was playing over the sound system.

"Rogue!" A voice called out over the noise.

Rogue smiled and turned to face Bobby. He was wearing a nice black suit and looked very nice, his blonde hair still spiked up like always.

"Man!" he said, looking her up and down, "You look great!"

"Thanks!" Marie said, twirling the white ringlet that dangled out of her up-do, "You do too!"

Bobby opened his mouth to speak but was cut off when a yellow clad Jubilee came up to them.

"Hey!" she said enthusiastically, giving Rogue a quick hug, "You have got to check out your Wolvie ..."

"What do you mean?" Rogue asked, visibly confused as Jubilee pointed to the front of the hall. There stood Logan, looking very powerful with his white shirt stretched nicely across his broad chest. He looked a little uncomfortable in his formal wear, but he leaned up against the wall leisurely all the same, his piercing eyes sweeping across the room.

"Wow," Marie murmured silently, seemingly unaware of anything else.

"Rogue!" Bobby said, annoyance in his voice, "Why don't we dance?"

"Umm..ok, just a second Bobby," Marie said distractedly, still staring at the Wolverine.

"How about now?" Bobby said pulling forcibly on her gloved arm.

Marie dolefully complied as Bobby pulled her out on the dance floor. The music began pumping out a No Doubt song and Bobby was soon moving to the beat.

Suddenly Marie felt a slight tap on her shoulder; she whipped around a little to fast and slammed straight into the shoulder of a sexy Logan.

"Whoa!" Logan said gently, steadying her gently, his hand on the small of her back, "You ok there?"

"Jesus Rogue!" Bobby said, looking over at her in horror.

"What?" Marie said, perplexed. She slowly reached her hand up to touch her nose, it was still stinging a little from its impact with Logan's body. She pulled it down slowly and let out a little gasp as she saw her fingers covered on crimson blood. Another small patch marked Logan's white dress shirt.

"Owww.." She said softly, the full impact of the pain hitting her, "Logan, um, I tink I broke by nose."

"Fuck!" Logan swore loudly, causing other students to stare blatantly at him, "I am so sorry Marie, here, use this."

Logan effortlessly pulled off his nice shirt and held it under her nose, stopping the blood that was coursing down her face.

"Maybe you didn't break it .." Bobby said hopefully, "Maybe it's just a bloody nose."

"I 'ope!" Marie said, her voice muffled by Logan's shirt, "Tank you for your shirt Logan,"

"No problem kid," Logan said kindly, and began to lead her over to the side of the dance floor, seemingly unperturbed about his lack of a shirt.

"Oh my god Rogue, your dress!" Jubilee said anxiously, "Don't let any blood drip on it!"

"I'll try Lee!" Rogue said exasperatedly as Logan led her over to a chair at the edge of the dance floor.

"Shh... ... . Try not to talk," Logan murmured gruffly as he kneeled down in front of her, "You two," He said, focusing his gaze on Jubilee and Bobby, "Why don't you just go back and dance?"

Bobby and Jubilee trailed reluctantly back to the dance floor, Jubilee shouting encouragements back at Rogue as they left.

"You need a new shirt Logan," Marie said nonchalantly as Logan pulled the shirt away.

"Ah, it's nothing," Logan scoffed lightly, placing his hands on her knees, "I didn't like it anyways."

Marie winced slightly as Logan tipped her chin up with his shirt covered hand.

"Marie?" Logan asked softly, his dark eyes boring into hers, "Would you mind if I touched you? I mean, to check your nose?"

Marie nodded softly; it seemed as if her vocal cords had frozen up on her, all she could concentrate on was Logan's softly serious eyes.

Logan slowly reached his hands up to her face, pressing his fingers softly along the ridge of her nose. Her skin was so soft! He wanted to keep his hands on her forever, to never stop touching her.

"Marie?" He said hoarsely, his eyes still trained on her, "I- I-Just want you to know that-"

"Is she ok?" Jubilee chimed suddenly, the song had ended and she and Bobby waited eagerly behind Logan.

"Yea," Logan said briskly, standing up with a sigh, "Now I'm going to go get a new shirt."
