Secret Marriage

Okay, people, this is one of my older stories. It is set in X-Men Evo, and it centers around Gambit and Rogue. It's been a year since the last battle with Apocalypse and Remy, Pyro, and Colossus have joined the X-Men. As of a month ago Rogue has gained control of her powers. She and Remy have been officially dating for six months. Upon returning from their last mission Rogue seems a little burned out on this whole superhero thing. Remy suggests that they could use a vacation and talks her into spending the weekend with him in Vegas. So are story begins.

Extra note: This story was inspired by the Movie Vivacious Lady, which was made in 1937 starring Jimmy Steward and Ginger Rogers. Although not an exact parody the movie gave me the idea for the story.

Chapter One: I Got a Great Idea

"Ah just don't think it's a good idea is all," Rogue said as she paced across her room. She was just about to open the bathroom door when Remy grabbed her around the waist.

"Come on, chere," he said into her ear. "It's only two days. We'll be back before dey even know we're gone."

"Ah don't know," Rogue said, turning around in his arms. "You remember the last time you whisked me off. New Orleans ah believe it was. Everyone, especially Logan had a fit."

"Not everyone," he said, stroking her hair. "Sure de Wolverine was a little miffed but…"

"A little!" she shot back at him. She pulled herself out of his grasp and walked over to her bed. "He was about to cut your dick off… if ah hadn't stopped him."

"Well, t'ank you for savin' little Remy's life," he said, coming over to sit next to her. "He forever grateful." He looked deep into her eyes and kissed her tenderly on the lips. "Jus' t'ink about it, Chere." He left a trail of kisses down her neck which in turn released small moans from deep in her throat. "You an' me, all alone. No interruptions." With his hands on either side of her face, he forced her to look him in the eye. "What you say?"

"Why is it ah can never say no to you?" she asked giving him a small smile.

"Just my natural charm," he said. "So dat a yes?"

"Okay," she said with a frustrated sigh. "Ah'll go with you, on one condition…"

"What's dat?" he asked, giving her a worried look.

"Promise me we ain't traveling by boxcar this time," she said, her voice demanding.

He gave her a sly laugh while gently lowering her onto the bed. He stroked her cheek gently. "Now, Remy wouldn't do dat to you. We go first class all de way."

"Promise?" she asked.

He answered her by kissing hers lips. She wrapped her arms around his neck as she opened her month. She moaned slightly as he slowly started to roll on top of her. They were so caught up in each other that they barely heard Kitty walk in.

"Hey, Rogue," Kitty said casually. Then there was a short pause followed by a gasp. Rogue looked up to see her best friend and roommate with a look of shock on her face. "Sorry, like I didn't mean to like interrupt."

Rogue shot up out of the bed and straightened her clothes. She looked over at Remy who only smirked. It was like he got off on getting caught.

"Kitty, we didn't hear ya come in," Rogue said, her face turning beet red.

"Obviously," Kitty said as if she knew exactly what they were about to do. "I just thought I'd tell you that dinner's going to be a little early tonight, seeing as some of the kids are going home for the weekend."

"Oh, sure, Kitty, we'll be right down," Rogue said still embarrassed about getting caught.

Kitty left the room her usual way, by fazing through the door. "Oh, my god," Rogue said walking over to the dresser and picking up her brush. "I can't believe she almost caught us."

Remy came up behind her. "Dat's why we need dis vacation. We got no privacy."

"Ah already said ah'd go," she said in frustration. "So when we gonna leave?"

"Tonight," he said. "Flight leaves at 9:45."

"What?" She shouted at him in shock. "Are you tellin' me you already planned this?"

"'Course I did," Remy said. "Dese kind a t'ings need some plannin'."

"And what if ah said no?" she asked.

"Like you said, Chere, can't so no ta Remy," he said, leaning in and kissing her.

"No fair usin' my own words against me," she said, but wrapped her arms around him. "Remember, you promise first class all the way."

"Not'in's too good my Cherie," he said holding her tight.

They walked down to the dining room, where they were met by a slew of kids, running back and forth, yelling and laughing, conversing like any normal teenagers.

Remy led Rogue to their regular seats, and pulled out a chair for her. Rogue sat next to Kitty with Remy on the other side. Kitty looked over at Rogue. "I wish you would change your mind and come home with me this weekend."

"Sorry, Kitty," Rogue said, as Remy passed her some mashed potatoes. "This weekend is out. Any other time would be alright."

"You always say that," Kitty said. "I told my parents all about you, but they're starting to think you're my imaginary friend."

"With all the times we've been on the news the past year. Why would they think that?"

"Because my parents don't believe anything until they see it up close with their own two eyes. Do you know how long it took for them to actually believe I'm a mutant?"

"Not so in my family," Rogue said. "Right, Kurt?" she called out to her brother, who had just ported to his chair on the other side of the table.

"Like yeah, everyone in your family are mutants. I'm the first one in mine."

"And that's a bad thing?" Rogue said, taking a bite of her chicken fillet.

"Well, no, but I'm anxious for them to meet you, besides Lance is coming this weekend, and I'm like so nervous about it."

"Kitty, you'll be fine," Rogue said, trying to reassure her.

"I guess you're right, besides I guess you and Remy have plans this weekend anyway. Right?"

"No," they both said quickly and at the same time.

They both looked at each other, and then around the room hoping no one caught on to their little scheme. Everyone seemed to be in their own little world not even knowing they existed.

Neither Rogue nor Remy spoke another word throughout the rest of dinner. Most of the kids headed out for home by seven. Kitty took off in Lance's jeep at about 8 o'clock. That was Rogue's cue to hurry and pack a bag. At about 8:30 she heard a knock on the door.

"Coming," she said and hid her bag under her bed. She answered the door to her boyfriend's smiling face.

"You ain't ready yet?" he asked.

"Yeah, ah am. Didn't know who was at the door so ah hid my bag under the bed."

"Don' worry, most everyone is gone, so let's sneak out while we got de chance."

"Okay," Rogue said and squatted down to get her bag from under the bed. She looked up to see the smirk on Remy's face. "What?" she asked, as if she had to ask.

"Oh, not'ing, jus' like seeing you bent over is all," he said and wrapped his arm around her.

"God, you're such a perv," she scolded.

"Lucky for you," he said as they headed out the door.

So I hope you like this first chapter. It was fun to write. This story is about nine chapters and I have no plans for a sequel.
