Disclaimer: I don't own these characters. Notta one. This is in responce to the Lyric Challenge. The poem is mine. Totally mine. Gomen for taking forever. Bubba had a idea for X-Men : Evolution. And so I've been stuck on it. And can I get a Pietro plushie? If I got one, I'd work faster.

Disclaimer: Thanks to Amy Winner Barton.....I am able to write more. She is letting me borrow a Scott, and a Trowa plushie.... ::huggles both plushie:: I don't own these characters, or the plushies I'm huggling. And for now....on with the show while I look for VBabe's Quatre.

 

Part 1:

Scott watched Rogue has she read her poem. No one would have expected such a beautiful woman was so good at Poetry.

We met under a tree
But now the tree is dead
Dead like our love
And we can't bring back that magic
And magic has broken our hearts
We thought it was forever
But it was just an instant
The instant is gone
Now we are left with the pieces
For that I cry
But not for the instant
Crying for the instant would be like wishing it never happened
And that I could never do
So let us leave it as an instant
And nothing more

Rogue looked up with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to depress anyone. I just thought it was the only poem worth reading." Then she noticed that Jubes and Kitty were crying. Mr. Summers just nodded. As she walked back to her seat, she smacked Bobby upside the head. Which woke him up.

"Huh? What's going on?" Bobby blinked trying to figure out why his nap was interrupted. Then he saw the evil red glare of Mr. Summer's sunglasses. "Oops?!" Bobby shrugged and looked sheepish.

"Oops is right, Bobby. If you can't stay awake during class I think you should go to bed earlier. And with that, I think you owe our class, your poem." Scott knew that Bobby didn't have it. This was a great punishment.....at least to Scott it was.

 Bobby looked around, and go up infront of the class. He gave Rogue a devil may care grin and started.

There once was a frog named Bubba
Who's life was a little bit dulla
He lived in the Ghetto
And boy was he a fellow
He believe he was an elf....

With that Bobby smiled. "The End!" Then quickly raced to his seat.

Scott just raised an eyebrow. But he let it pass, with a D.

Later after class

"Rogue, I wanted to ask you about your poem," Scott sat on the edge of his desk.

"It was just a poem...." Rogue looked down trying to hide the pain.

"It was about Logan wasn't it." Scott's face softened.

"Yea, I guess everyone can figure that out." Rogue blushed.

"Naw, I bet everyone is wonder if you meant Bobby. Cause the way you hit him, it could have been. But I know you," Scott blushed at being so straight forward.

Rogue nodded, her hair hiding her blushing face. "Yeah, it was about Logan."

"Well, I want you to come to a meeting between Professor X and a couple others. We'll be discussing poetry." Scott nodded. And with that Rogue ran out quickly.

 

Part 2:

 Scott watched Rogue run out. And admired her lithe body. Then shook it off. After the messy break-up with Jean a year ago had him looking at some of his fellow mutants in a new light.

 Like with Rogue, a year ago he would just think of her as a collegue, and nothing more. Now she was a hot young woman. Her smile seemed to light a room, Scott with a soft smile. Then shook it off. Rogue would kill him if she saw him now.

 

He picked up the rest of his books, and papers for grading. He pciked up a short story by Rogue. It spoke of a lonely woman, who thanks to a walk and a light, found happiness, and love.

 

 He sighed, and turned off the lights of the room. And with one last look, closed and locked the door.

 

 Rogue, on the other hand, couldn't stop thinking of Scott and her conversation. "How did he know bout the poem? Is it that plain? Am I that lost, and hopeless?"

 

 As she pondered this, she also thought of Scott. "Maybe he sees it because he knows what it feels like....." Then she realized he was single again. Then blushed as she thought he looked really sexy in class today.

 

 "Bad Marie!" Rogue scolded herself for such thoughts. He was just a friend. Then looked at the time. "Oh great! I only have 10 more minutes before my next class, and I want to get one of my poems done!" She quickly threw down a poem, and ran to her next class.

 

 Thankfully the rest of the day was uneventful. And soon Rogue threw her books on the bed. And looked at the poem she had wrote.

 

Eyes of sadness
You think I can't see
The heart of glass
That was shattered
Not by me
But I want the pieces of the glass
And maybe you'll see
That it's put back together
Thanks to me

 

 Then quickly placed it back into the backpack, and looked busy, as Kitty walked in.

 

 "What's up?!" Kitty bounced over to Rogue's bed.

 

 "Nothing much. Why? What's up with you?" Rogue tried to look intrested as Kitty explained the idea of her new date.

 

 "Well, Kitty, I gotta go. I forgot to ask Scott when the poetry thing is...." Rogue said as she ran out. Leaving a pouting Kitty behind.

 

Part 3:

Scott watched as Rogue rushed into his office. "Can I help you with anything? Or are you praticing for a marthon?" Scott teased.

 "I need to know when the poetry thing is......I kinda forgot to ask....." Rogue looked sheepishly at the floor.

 "It's no trouble. They are in the library after school, and it's every Wensday, and Thursday. It was also Friday, but we all decided that most of the participents in this had dates on Fridays. So we are now only met Wensday and Thursday." Scott explained the whole schedule out to her.

 "I can deal with that. And you mentioned most of the people have dates.....like you aren't apart of that group." Rogue raised one eyebrow, one of the little things she got from Logan.

 "I don't get dates very often. Woman like guys they can look in the eye. And most don't like a mutant with non-indoor friendly powers. Actually woman don't like mutant boyfriend, unless they are mutants themselves." Scott laughed at the indoor joke. Rogue stroked his cheek, and he leaned into it. Then both realized what was going on, and jumped apart.

 "Sorry, Mr. Summers," and "Sorry, Rogue," were simlutantous. And both looked down.

 "I thought we more friends enough for you to call me Scott." Scott grimised in pain, the Mr. Summers caused, and bowed his head.

 "We are, it's just a habit. I can't call you Scott in class. So it's a natural reaction....." She teared up. "Scott, look at me." He quickly jerked his head up. "I would be honored if you were my boyfriend...." Scott blushed as she ran away. Then he realized what had happened, and quickly ran after her.

Venusgreen: Ha ha! For a girl that lost all of the story, not bad timing!
Scott pouts at Venusgreen :You're mean, doing that to Maire.
Rogue blushs.
VG: Scott, what's that red mark on your neck??
Scott: Ummm....Nothing.....just a...just a rash....
Rogue hides her face in her hands.
VG rolls her eyes :Perverts!!
Scott just smiles :Get to work on the next part, Woman!
VG: Stop sounding like Wufei! And I will!

Part 4:

Rogue cried as she ran down the stairs. "I'm so stupid believing he'd want to be with me!" She cried to herself.

 

 "ROGUE!!!! MARIE!!!" Scott ran after and looked around. He knew she had to be down here somewhere. "Why me, and my big mouth!" He mentally screamed at himself.

 

 Rogue hide behind a door. Then she realized with a groan where she was.....and he walked into the room from the bathroom. "Kid, what are doing here?" Logan looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

 

 "Shhh!!!" Rogue looked at the door, as Scott was hear walking past it calling her name. When he walked out of hearing range, she turned to her friend.

 

 "Logan, I gotta a problem......" He could still see the tears in her eyes. "I made a big mistake."

 

 Logan quickly gathered her into his arms as he saw tears. "What happened Darling? And why was Scooter looking for you?" He sounded confused.

 

 "I said something to him I shouldn't have." She looked up at him. "I told him I would love to date him. I feel like such a dork!" She buried her head into his chest.

 

 "Did he hurt you?" Logan growled. He was now like a big brother to her, and like all big brothers, he wanted to protect her.

 

 "No, I didn't let him answer. But I know he couldn't like me like that...." She cried harder into his embrace.

 

 "What?! You didn't even let him answer?! Marie, I thought I taught you better!" Logan at her like she was crazy.

 

 "Logan, I know his answer would have been something like, I'm sorry Rogue, but I can't get involved right now...." Rogue stepped out of Logan's embrace. "Sorry Logan, but I have to get going."

 

 Logan nodded. "Just come over and tell me how it went." Logan kisses her head, and pushed her out of his room.

VG: Another fine chapter....
Logan: Too damn short, you made me a wuss, and you're a brat
VG: Love ya too, Wolvie!
Scott: I see I got my way
VG: And some got theirs, I got a bunch wanted Logan to show up....Well kids, here he is.....
Logan: Stop talking and write more!
VG: I love muses!!! ::Runs after them with her trusty mallet.::

 Part 5:

Logan walked up to Scott, and looked at him really hard. "What are you looking at Logan?" Scott was baffled by Logan's look.

 "Trying to see if you are good enough for Marie....." Logan huffed out, then went to the study.

 Scott followed, and sat down next to the man known as Wolverine. "So, am I?" Scott looked interested.

 "Yea, I guess. But if you hurt her, you're toast." Logan growled out, not wanting to seem like he liked Scott. But in reality, Logan had found Scott to be a good friend, and would back him up if ever needed.

 "Well know that I've gotten that obstacle out of the way......now how do I cross the biggest one....Marie herself?" Scott looked defeated.

 "Since I know you will treat her right. Unlike some of the guys I have seen circling her like buzzards......I'll help." Logan growled softly. Scott almost missed it, but smiled when he heard it. And knew that it was a secret pact between the two. No one was ever to know that Logan helped Scott out willingly.

 "I understand. Well, I gotta go. I have a night class. And I can't miss it." Scott got up, and walked away. Logan, on the other hand, was pondering how to get the two star-crossed lovers together.

 

In another part of the mansion.....

 Rogue laid on the bed, picking at the dinner Kitty had brought her. "What to do....what to do...."

 Logan knocked on the door. And was surprised to see Rogue in a pair of pajamas. "Umm, Marie, I need to talk to you....."

 Rogue rolled her eyes at him. "Logan, I'm not showing anything. So stop your babbling!"

 Logan gulped and sat down. "First thing is, eat. Second thing....I want you to get Scott a chance......" Then looks down.

 "I'm not hungry...and what did you say about Scott?" Rogue looked confused. "I thought you hated him!"

 "Hate is a strong word, Marie. We just don't see eye to eye on certain aspects of the X-Men. That's all." Logan cleared his throat. "Nevermind. I gotta go....bye" as soon as the words left his lips, he was out the door.

Part 6

 

Scott was lighting the last candle in the living room, as Logan came storming in. "What happened?" Scott said worried.

 

 "I froze!" Logan growled at Scott. In which Scott started to laugh.

 

 "Big bad Wolverine was scared of little Marie?" Scott stopped laughing, as Logan glared. But the smirk remained.

 

 "She's not little, and she was in her pajamas." Logan gruffed out.

 

 "Well, how am I supposed to convince her that I love her if she's still upstairs?" Scott reminded the grouchy Logan.

 

 "You get her! I'll finish up down here. I can't deal with her before she goes to bed!" Logan pushed Scott towards the steps.

 

 "Hey, how do I get her down here?!" Scott's eyebrows were raising to his hair, and Logan could swear he saw Scott's eye get wide.

 

 "Improvise!" Logan called back before going to the kitchen to get a beer. "It was going to be a long night," Logan thought as he sat down in on the sofa.

 

 As Scott knocked on Rogue's door, he could hear a few strains of Bruce Springsteen's 'Secret Garden' playing in the background.

 

 Rogue opened the door, wide eyed as soon as she saw who it was. As she tried to shut the door, in embarrassment, Scott stopped her.

 

 "Please don't shut me out. Let me at least show you what I feel," Scott pleaded, letting go of the door, and held out his hand.

 

 The few minutes between that and Rogue actually taking his hand felt like an eternity to Scott. Then her smile lit up her face, and Scott felt boneless.

 

 "Show me what?" came her sweet, southern drawl.

 

 Scott walked her to the living room, thankfully Logan had left in time, where the romantic atmosphere was almost stifling.

 

 Rogue's eyes became saucers, and teared up, at the sight of it all. "This is all for me?" Her voice held a hint of wonder.

 

 "Yes, Marie. This is all for you to show you that I have fallen in love with you." Scott stroked her cheek, with such tenderness, it almost felt like a ghost whisper.

 

 "Oh Scott! I've fallen in love with you as well!" Rogue leaned up, and caught Scott's lips in hers embrace. And began the first kiss of many.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

VG: Finally!! I'm done!!!
Scott: I like that.
Marie: I love you Scott! ::Scott and Marie end up kissing. As VG pulls a shade to cover it up from the viewers.::
VG: Nothing to look at. Keep moving, Keep moving.
Logan: Thank god they are finally together. Now I don't have to look at Scott making cow eyes at Marie! Yuck!
VG: I'm just going to end this with a thank you to all the readers.
Scott, Marie, and Logan: Thank you! ::Everyone waves::
