…So yeah this one starts right where the last one left off. Sort of it back tracks a little and there will be some flashbacks but I’ll warn you about those.

Grow Some PokeBalls

Remy stepped away from Rogue’s door. He had to get back to his room. God knew, John was probably sleeping in his bead having waited up for him to see how his date went. Not that he was admitting it was a date. Which it totally was not…right? He counted off in his mind the moments that could considered date like. There were a lot of them. And wasn’t he walking back from asking her on a second date?

No. He wasn’t, because the mall had not been a date. It had been a casual meeting between two mutual acquaintances who had just so happened upon each other in their lifetime…Ok this was getting way too deep for Remy.

He had never been in it this deep with someone, with anyone. Not even Belle. He couldn’t wrap his mind around the fact that he felt he was in love…oh love is such a strong word…he was in a very mad like for the one dubbed Rogue. And boyfriend be damned he was going to have her one way or another.

The movie, he thought, I’ll tell her then.

He turned a corner and saw that damned boyfriend headed towards Rogue’s room. Their shoulders brushed and the two boys turned their heads and stared at each other. They both had looks of deep disgust and both knew why. It was the girl around the corner and down the hall.

Pietro ignored the Cajun as best he could. He had been coming from Rogue’s room. The blonde had no idea how he knew, he just did, and it bothered the hell out of him. He considered speeding down the hall, but knew Rogue would appreciate that.

…

What did he care? His girl had been with another guy and damn it he was going to find out the what, when, where, and most important of all why.

He ran the rest of the way to her room leaving a very confused and rather annoyed Kitty in his wake of speed and destruction. He knocked on the door rather rapidly and tapped his foot in an annoyed hurried manner.

What was taking her so long?

Inside her room Rogue tucked the journal away and rushed to the mirror to pat her hair down. She decided that she looked half decent and that it was better than not decent at all.

Wondering why he would be coming back when she already said yes, she opened the door.

Her smile fell slightly and she said with a sad sigh that was barley audible to the boy in front of her, “Oh, it’s you.”

Pietro’s foot ceased its tapping and his jaw dropped a few inches. She did not just say that. He walked into her room with no invitation and sat down on her bed his eyes staring at her.

“Is that anyway to greet your boyfriend?” he asked.

She rolled her eyes and thought “If he’s a lying, scheming, good for nothing, a-“

She stopped her thought and smiled a mock smile of love and joy, “Ah’m sorry, dear. Where are mah manners? Why don’t cha come in and take a seat?”

Pietro lay down on the bed spreading his arms over his head and said smugly, “That’s better.”

Rogue resisted her strong urge to kick him in the side before dragging him out of her bed and into the empty hallway…but only barely.

“What do ya want, Pietro?” she asked angrily.

Pietro sat up on the bed and found Rogue glaring at him. This was strange. Rogue had, at one time been the glaring type, but after a short stint with him she had softened into the Southern belle she was today. Pietro couldn’t wrap his mind around the change back.

“Gambit was coming from your room. Was he here,” he asked.

Rogue’s eyes narrowed. How dare he ask her such a question? Se didn’t ask where he had been all day. She didn’t want to know. She did not even care.

Maybe you should. Said a voice in her head she decided to label as her own for once. With a calming breath and a close of her eyes she cleared her mind, so she could give Pietro a piece of it with no effort.

“Why, yes, darlin’, Remy was here. And we’re goin’ to tha movies tomorrow,” she said.

Pietro stood up and went over to Rogue, “We had plans for tomorrow remember?”

Rogue let out a mock laugh, “We had plans fo’ today. Or did ya forget?”

It was Pietro’s turn to roll his eyes. He stared at Rogue intently. He had already told her why he couldn’t go. Why must he repeat himself to his girlfriend? She should be telling him why Remy had been here.

“I already told you, I had a family thing,” he said, but before he could question her about the Cajun she started to speak, and the tone her voice took was one Pietro hadn’t heard since he first started to date her. It had defiance.

“Las’ time Ah checked,” she said, “Wanda was a part o’ your family. An’ she said there was no ‘family thing’,” she paused to look Pietro in the eyes and then said, “Who were ya with?”

Pietro gulped, how did she know? How did she always know?

“No one.” He said trying to feint calm.

“You willin’ ta let meh see fo’ mahself?” she asked as she took off a glove and extended a hand to his face.

Pietro ducked under her hand and decided he should just tell her the truth. He didn’t, after all want to end up in the infirmary. He ended up near the door and said, “Ok, I was with Tabitha.”

Rogue put her hand inside her glove, “Yeah, that’s what Ah thought.”

Pietro stood up straighter, however it did not force Rogue to back down as he had hoped it would, “And what about you? Why are you…”

He did not get to finish his sentence since Kitty had just walked through the door. She took a look at the two angry persons in her room and made her way slowly back to the door, “Like, did I interrupt something?”

Rogue shook her head, “No, Kit, we were jus’ gonna finish this outside.”

She took a step around the small girl and opened the door. She walked at a hurried pace down the hall and down the stairs to the door with Pietro close behind her. She didn’t see Remy watching from the other end of the hall.

Remy had been sitting in the quiet room that belonged to him and Piotr listening to the other boys’ snores. He would get John back for falling asleep in his bed that was no lie. But he had more important things to think about. What movie should they see, should they go early? Not that it was a date. It was not, a date.

He decided to go see her again, using this movie not date as an excuse. He left the comfort of his room and went down the hall. What he saw did not do anything to ease his already racing heart.

He saw Rogue. She was walking at a fast pace with Pietro a few steps behind her. Remy sat down in the hallway. This is just like at the Masquerade. Why did she go back to him?

Flashback

“Pietro is mah boyfriend,” Rogue said.

Remy felt the smile on his face fade away faster than an old flame that was doused with water. She had a boyfriend. Why did that hurt more than anything had in a long time? He took in a deep breath and nodded at Pietro. She could do better. Not that he was better or anything, she could just have better.

He stalked back to his two friends.

“What’s wrong mate?” John asked.

Remy looked back at the couple, they were talking about something, he did, however, note the slight frown on Rogue’s delicate face.

“She ‘as a boyfrien’.”

The other two nodded and tried to fill his head with other things. Piotr sighed and said the old, ‘there are more fish in the sea’ line. However, Remy did not want to hear it. He didn’t want another fish. He wanted Rogue. He didn’t know why or how, but he wanted her.

And she had a boyfriend…

XXXXX

And she was with said boyfriend. He got up; he was going to go back to his room. But when he was halfway there he decided that the movies were too long a wait to tell Rogue how he felt. He was going to do it now. In sight of the boyfriend. Let Rogue choose.

Stitches tearing on my cape/Sweat loosening the tape/Grow some Pokeballs/ Don’t hesitate/I saw you at the Masquerade/In the costume that you made/Girl you looked so fine/Perfect Blue my mind/But there’s one more day/I saw you at the Masquerade/Here’s a rhyme for play n trade/Gonna go from zero to guitar hero/This serenade/Oh No it happened again/She walked away with her furry boyfriend/My kingdom heart is breaking/My Kingdom heart is breaking/Oh no it happened again/She walked away with her furry boyfriend/My kingdom Heart is breaking
