X-Mansion- 9:30 P.M

Rogue sat on the stool slightly slouched in the kitchen with one hand curled around a glass of water. She couldn't help but smile as she sipped her water. She had just gotten back with Remy only a short while ago. Remy's father had paid for their air plane trip, first class seats, back to New York, and even had a limo pick them up and drop them off at the mansion.

The whole plane ride they had talked to each other. Telling one another about some of their childhood experiences. The whole time, Rogue had taken off her glove on her left hand and held Remy's right hand.

She closed her eyes as she thought back to the experience. Ever since her powers had manifested she was unable to touch someone without harming them. Now she was able to touch the one person that she cared about the most in the world. To be able to feel his skin was the best thing that ever happened to her.

Sure for the other students around the mansion, they didn't know what it was like to not be able to touch. If they had lost the ability, she was sure they would feel the same as she did.

She sighed as she thought about him, not noticing that some of the other students had entered into the kitchen.

"Hey Rogue, when did you get back?" Rogue was startled when she heard Kitty's voice from behind her. She turned around to see Kitty and Jubilee all standing behind her.

"Just got back an hour ago." Rogue answered Kitty with a smile. 'Before Ah was isolated from everyone, but the teachers. No one would talk ta meh, and then he came and helped meh through it. Ah know Ah would of never been able to pull through without him.' She thought to herself as she thought back of the fight between Carol and herself.

"So how are things with you and Remy?" Jubilee asked as she took a seat next to her best friend. She gave her a small wink.

"Never better." Rogue told her friend.

"So is it like serious?" Kitty asked as she took a seat next to Rogue. "Jubilee filled me in on you two. I mean when I saw the two of you the other day, you both looked perfect for one another." Kitty told Rogue.

"Ah love him." Rogue replied, a smile still on her face. Jubilee hugged her friend.

"About time you found someone! I'm so excited for you, chica!" Jubilee said as she hugged her. She had been worried about Rogue when she was gone and knew it had to of been hard for her. She wanted to pound Bobby into the ground when she found out he had dumped her. Then later when she found out that Carol was behind everything, she was about ready to fly back and hurt the blonde mutant herself.

"Aw, I'm so happy for you too." Kitty said with a smile. She still felt terrible for how she had treated Rogue over the months. She knew she probably would feel guilty for the rest of her life. 'At least she has found someone to be happy with. Good for her.' Kitty thought to herself.

"Oh, by the way, are you going to the dance tonight?" Jubilee asked Rogue as she released her from the hug.

"Oh my God, I forgot it starts in a thirty minutes!" Kitty jumped out of her chair. "I can't believe I lost the track of time." Kitty started freaking out. "I got to go get ready, hope to see you there Rogue." She told the southern girl as she left the kitchen.

"So are you going to come?" Jubilee asked Rogue again.

"Nah, Ah don't think Ah am." Rogue replied. She hadn't been interested in going in the first place.

"How come? It will be fun, I promise! I can force Wolvie to do the Macarena." Jubilee joked.

Rogue chuckled at the thought. "Ah don't picture him doing that, but if ya do get him, bring a camera. Ah'll be wantin proof." Rogue told Jubilee, who grinned.

"Will do. So what will you be doing tonight then? You better not be saying staying in your room all night!" Jubilee told her. There was no way she was going to allow her best friend to sit by herself, again, while everyone else was having fun.

"Actually Ah was thinkin of spendin some time with Remy." Rogue replied to her.

"Ooh, some alone. I gotcha." Jubilee winked as she got up from her seat. She had loss time to get ready for the dance, but she wanted to make sure her friend would be okay. "See ya later." Jubilee said with a wave as she exited out of the kitchen.

Rogue smiled and shook her head. "Ah think Ah'ma go ta mah room right now." She said to herself as she got up from the stool and exited out fo the kitchen as well.

Gambit's Room

Remy had finally finished unpacking the thing he had brought to the mansion from New Orleans. He sighed and looked around the room. "Do I really want to stay at dis place my entire life? Never settled down anywhere before." He whispered to himself as he looked out the window to see a bunch of students playing baseball.

He smiled to himself. "Well dere is always room for change." Remy said to himself as he began thinking of Rogue. 'Should go see what de chere is up to.' He thought to himself.

Remy exited out of his room and was about to exit into the hallway when a pair of claws snapped out in front of him. He glared to his left and looked at the owner of the claws. Logan was standing there, obviously had been waiting to speak with him.

"Can Gambit help y' M'sieu?" Remy asked as he leaned against the opposite side the wall with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Yeah actually you can Gumbo." Logan said as he retracted his claws and began stepped forward and stood in front of the Cajun.

"And what would dat be, mon ami?" Remy asked raising an eyebrow at the Canadian.

"First off," Logan started as he pointed his finger at Remy, "where did you take Rogue? I know you two left the state." Logan glared at the younger man. He had been informed that Rogue had left with Remy by the Professor. When he question Jubilee about where they had went she shrugged and made him very suspicious of the two southerners.

"Gambit went back to his home in New Orleans to get his things." Remy said simply while he watched Wolverine's hands. He knew he had to watch what he was saying otherwise he knew that he would be in big trouble.

"Really, then why did you take Rogue with you?" Logan growled as he folded his arms over his chest as he waited for an answer from the younger man.

"Gambit didn' take Rogue with him. She followed moi and wouldn't leave until Gambit returned to de mansion." Remy tried to explain, but he didn't know if Logan was buying the answer he had given. It was the truth, so it wasn't like he was making all this up.

"Go on." Logan said with his eyes still fixed on Remy's. He had smelled the air when the young mutant had answered him. He couldn't smell any signs of being nervous so he knew Remy wasn't making anything up.

"Den went to my house and got my things and came back here. End of story." Remy answered to him with a shrug of his shoulders. He didn't know what else to say. What was this man looking for?

"I'll take your word for it, for now. If I hear any other story, you better hope it is the same as yours." Logan growled. 'I don't trust this guy, don't know why Rogue would.' Logan thought to himself as he glared at Remy.

"So y' done yet? Gambit can think of a million other places he rather be den be here." Remy said as he tried to move away from Wolverine, who raised his hand and shot it claws out.

"Not so fast Gumbo. There is still somethin I wanna know." Logan told him. When Remy moved back to the place he was before, Logan then retracted his claws into his hand. There was still one thing he wanted to know.

"Why are you chasing after Rogue? Is it because your able to touch her, where as no one else can?" Logan asked Remy. 'I swear to God if you are using her because of that, they won't find any remains of your body.' Logan thought to himself.

"If y'r thinkin I'm gonna hurt her, den y'r wrong." Remy stated feeling a bit insulted that he would just use Rogue. "I saw what de other kids here did to her. Originally didn' know dat I would fall for her, just wanted to make her see dat she is special. When I first met her, she was de most belle fille I've ever set my eyes on." Remy told Logan, and he meant every word he said.

"You love her?" Logan asked after being half convinced that Remy was telling the truth.

"Oui." Remy replied with a smile on his face for the first time since he talked to Logan.

"Listen you better not ever break her heart or else-"Logan began to threaten, when Remy cut him off.

"Shred moi into millions of little pieces, Gambit know dat. Y' also don' have to worry about moi hurting her, I'd never dream of it." Remy told Logan... This was the second time Logan had made that threat to him. "Can Gambit go now?" Remy asked.

"Yeah." Logan said as he backed away and let Remy go.

Remy started walking down the hallway. 'Mebbe I should pay ma chere a visit.' He thought to himself with a smile, when he heard Logan say something again.

"Cajun!" Logan shouted at him. Remy sighed and turned back around.

"Oh c'mon, next y' gonna bully moi for my lunch money!"(1) Gambit looked back at Logan. He was getting a bit annoyed with all the threats from the Canadian. He already told him he would never hurt Rogue, what did he want now?

"Take care of her, Gumbo." Logan said simply as he turned around and began walking the other way.

Remy looked surprised that Logan had actually said that and didn't threaten him. He smiled and nodded. "Y' can count on dat, mon ami." Remy whispered as he turned to walk to Rogue's room.

Rogue's Room

Rogue had entered into her bed room around five minutes ago and was relaxing on her bed. She could hear the other students in the halls rushing to go to the dance.

"Miss Rogue, are you going to be going to the dance?" Rogue heard a voice of a little girl and turned to the door to see Rahne standing there.

"Nah Ah'm not, sugah. Ah got some other plans for tonight. Are ya going?" Rogue asked Rahne with a smile as the little girl nodded.

"Yeah, they allowed me to go." Rahne said happily. When the announcements first came out, all the younger students were unable to go, but the teachers had decided to cancel their classes for the next day. This allowed the younger students to go to the dance as long as they acted on their best behavior.

"Well I hope you have a good time." Rogue told Rahne as the little girl nodded again and left the room.

Rogue, still smiling, looked up at the ceiling and closed her eyes. She did not hear someone else enter into her room.

Remy stood in the doorway and leaned his arm against the wall as he looked at Rogue. 'Still as beautiful as de day I first laid eyes on her.' He thought to himself with a smile as he moved into the room. He sat down on the side of her bed, which caused her to open her eyes.

"Nice ta see ya." Rogue said as she leaned up and kissed him. He returned the kiss. Both of them were smiling when they broke apart.

Remy leaned his back against the headboard of the bed as Rogue laid her head on his chest. She had her left arm spread across his stomach and closed her eyes again as she listened to his heart beat. He had his left arm around her waist, keeping her close to him.

"So y' gonna tell moi why y' didn' want to go to de dance with de others?" Remy asked her as he looked down at her. She raised her head to look at him. She sighed as she looked into his beautiful red on black eyes. She could stare at them for hours and never get tired.

"Ah had no interest in goin' there. Sure they asked meh ta come, but Ah'd rather spend mah night with ya instead." Rogue told him as she leaned her head back down on his chest.

"Y' sure y' don' wanna go? We could still make it down dere." Remy told her as he ran his hand through her hair.

"Nah, Ah'm much more happier where Ah am right now. Besides, Ah'd rather be with the one person who cared when no one else did. No one else has ever made meh feel loved like ya have; not Bobby, not David, and none of the boyfriends Ah had in mah past compared ta ya." She told him.

Remy smiled down at her. "Same here, mon amour. Never has any fille captured my heart as y' have." He said to her as he leaned down and kissed the top of her head.

Rogue smiled as she snuggled closer to his warm body. "Ah love ya, swamp rat." She told him.

"Je t'aime, my petit' river rat." He whispered in her ear.

"Ya promise ya will never leave meh?" She asked him as she opened her eyes.

"Where ever y' go, I'll be dere standin next to y'. No matter what happens in de future." He told her. "Dat's what a guardian devil is dere for." He told her as they both drifted off to sleep.

Unknowing to the two of them as they shut their eyes, Jean was standing in the corner of the room with a smile on her face. "Well done Remy." She said as she disappeared to leave the two by themselves.
