ааа It's midnight and pouring rain outside the Xavier School for gifted

youngsters in Westchester, New York. On a night like tonight, it's hard for

anyone to sleep, especially a young southern girl, whose heart is the cause

of her distress.

ааа Thinking to herself she analyzes the situation, " Ah'm happy with Joe

'n' all, there's just one problem, Ah cain't stop thinkin' about Remy!а The

dang Swamp Rat!а Ah'm not gonna get any sleep with the weddin' comin' up!

Ah need somthin' ta drink."

ааа She emerges from her bedroom in a fuzzy, pink bathrobe.а The distinct

sounds of her bare feet on the hardwood floor are the only things that can

be heard over the rain. She approaches the fridge, opens it and pulls out a

cold bottle of water, and without even turning on the lights she sits down

at the table and starts to drink.а From behind her she hears a voice that

makes her jump.

ааа "Couldn't sleep either, eh, kid?"

ааа "Oh. Hey, Logan. No Ah cain't get ta sleep, weddin' an' all."

ааа "You sure about your choice, I'll help you get out if you want me to."

ааа "Nah, Sugah, Ah'm all right, Ah can handle it."

ааа " Kay. Then I'm goin' back to bed, you don't need me but I need sleep.

Night kid."

ааа "Night Logan."

The next day was more beautiful than anyone would've hoped for.а It was

April 15th, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and Rogue was

getting married!а In her room Jean, Betsy, Carly, Hayley and Ororo were

bustling about her getting her ready for the big day.

ааа "Look at the gorgeous veil!",exclaimed Carly.

ааа Ororo stated matter of factly,"Pearl head piece."

ааа "Back off! Move it! Comin' through! Best friend here!"а A woman about

5'2'' pushed through all the girls and made her way over to the bride.а All

you can see of her is her 6'1'' wings that seem to cut and dodge between the

noisy women and bridal apparel.

ааа "Hon! What's wrong it's your wedding day, SMILE!"

ааа "Gal, as mah maid o' honor will ya do me a favor?"

ааа "Sure sweetie what?"

ааа "Hayley leave this where Remy can find it. Please!"

ааа "Yeah, sure, I'll go give it to him now and follow you to the church

with Logan."

ааа "Thanks Sugah."

ааа She quickly and tightly embraced Hayley as her bridesmaids and friends

got her out of the house and into the limo.а The speed off to the church

just as a familiar motor bike pulls up the drive.

ааа "Cajun, she wanted me to give this to you, better read it or she'll have

my head.а Wait, Logan, I'm comin' with you!а I'll see ya at the wedding if

you're comin'. I know she wants you to."

ааа "Yeah, Ange. Ah might show, but dat ain't likely."

ааа Gambit wasted no time in opening the letter that was written in an all

to familiar writing. It even smelled as sweet as his beloved southern belle.

 

ааааааааааа Remy,

аааааааааааааааа I know I'm supposed to be gettin' married today.а There's

just one problem,I think I still love you.а If you come today before the

wedding and say what I'd love to hear I'll leave him and run away with you

until we can return.а If you don't come I'll know you don't love me and that

I'm makin' the right choice.

ааааааааааа ааааааааааааааааааааааааSee you soon?

ааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааааа Chere

ааа The note gave him a burning sensation behind the eyes.а He didn't know

whether it was anger or what.а He loved her but she left him for Joseph

and.........

ааа He entered the Xavier mansion through down his pack by the doorway and

entered the kitchen.а He sat and stared at the envelope, a true mark of

confusion: his eyes looked hollowed out, he kept licking his lips bitterly,

and his expression didn't show happiness or hatred; he slumped in his chair,

he ran the note between his fingers, and his feet rested playfully on the

table; he still loved her, but he didn't know how to tell her without being

hated by everyone, for once, Remy LeBeau was speechless.

ааа 11:55.а They getting married at noon and the chapel's about seven

minutes away.а As if he'd had an epiphany his eyes flashed and he jumped

from his seat, bolted to the door, hopped on his bike and was gone!

ааа "Baby, the wedding was supposed to start ten minutes ago, if we don't

start soon people will be angry!", Hayley called through the dressing room

door.

ааа "Ah know that.а Just five more minutes okay."

ааа Rogue sat alone on the dressing room floor. (Jean and Hayley would have

her head if the saw her.а She's ruining her dress.)а Tears welled up in her

sparkling green eyes and she stared at her skirt as a couple drops hit the

silky, white fabric. Suddenly a familiar voice rang out and a gloved finger

picks up her chin.

ааа "Chere, ya look great."

ааа Startled, she jumped at the sight and sound of him, "Remy? Ah thought ya

weren't gonna come.а Did ya get my letter?"

ааа "Yeah chere, Ah got it."

ааа "Well. Do ya hate me now for bringin' it up?"

ааа "It's hard ta hate da woman ya love right after she tells ya she may

still loves ya. After all dat's happened."

ааа "Ya still love me, sugah."

ааа "Why else would Ah have come chere? Ya know Remy ain't too fond o' Joe."

 

ааа With that said he helped her to her feet.а They stared at each other for

a few seconds in silence, then finally, Rogue spoke.

ааа "Ah heard that with ya new powers ya can---"

ааа She didn't have time to finish for he swept her up into his arms and

kissed her.

ааа " Ya, chere, Ah can."

ааа Suddenly a gruff voice penetrated the bubble the two had been in."Kid,

you comin out soon. It's been 15 minutes now.а Unless you're havin' second

thoughts."а Logan yelled through the door, which was followed by angry

whispers telling him not to say such things.

ааа "Sugah, one question, what about them?"

ааа "Mah bike's parked outside the window."

ааа "Cajun, you're crazy, Ah'm in mah weddin' dress."

ааа "Look chere, ya wanna get outta here or not?"

ааа More pounding and yelling came from the opposite side of the door.

ааа "Let Logan in chere, he's like ya Dad, he'll help."

ааа So, she poked her head out and asked Logan to kindly enter, ALONE!

ааа "Look, Sugah, Ah still love Remy 'n' Ah cain't marry Joe.а Ah hope ya

understand 'n' the fact is Ah don' know how to face the others."

ааа "Leave it to me kid.а I had a gut feelin' something like this would

happen."

ааа And with an emotional hug Logan went out to lie to the world about why

the bride wouldn't be getting married.

ааа Remy opened the window and helped her out, though it helped that they

were on the first story. He then climbed out the window that he entered

through.а The two hopped on the bike and were gone. And of all her days on

this earth, Rogue knew she was her happiest.а Right where she belonged, on

the back of Remy's bike, with her arms around him, wedding dress or not.

 

The End?
