Captives

Graduation Day

I have 20 chapters planned for this story. The main couples are Remy & Rogue, Kurt & Tabitha and Kitty & Lance. It's Graduation Day and all seems perfect, but danger is looming in the shadows. 

Chapter One: Graduation Day

Kitty was the first one up that morning and she was excited, and why shouldn't she be. It was her and Kurt's graduation day. She was the Valedictorian and she had been working on her speech for a week now, and she couldn't wait to get up in front of the whole school and spout her words of wisdom. She shot out of bed and ran over to Rogue's bed.

"Hey, girlfriend, wake up," she said and tried to shake Rogue out of her sleep.

"Kitty, go away," Rogue said grumpily.

"Come on, Rogue," Kitty said and started to dance around the room. "It's graduation day, and you don't want to disappoint your little brother."

Rogue groaned and looked at her clock. It read 6:30am. "Kitty, ah'm gonna kill you!"

"Well, if you are you have to get up to do it," she said in a cheery voice. Rogue just groaned and rolled over in bed. "If you're so tired, it's your own fault for being out so late with Remy last night."

"Kitty, we had tickets to Phantom of the Opera," Rogue said, coming out from under the covers. "Ah just didn't want to see Remy wastin' money on tickets and us not usin' 'em."

"But you didn't get in until after one o'clock," Kitty teased. "So what were you two doing?"

"None a your business," Rogue said and threw her pillow at her."

She finally dragged herself out of bed and prepared to go take a shower. If Kitty was going to force her out of bed this early then she was going to be first for the bathroom.

Kitty just laughed as Rogue stomped out of their room. Rogue had known the girl for four years and still she was the perky pain in the butt she was when she first met her, but she never had a better friend than Kitty. The girl always had her back, especially when she started dating Gambit, and when everyone disapproved Kitty was the one who supported her. Rogue had done the same when she started seeing Lance and after two years of dating Kitty and Lance were still together, although they did have a fight every other day. She had to admit that they didn't fight any less than she and Remy, but at least they did it less often.

After her shower she took out her dark blue and black dress out of the closet. She bought it especially for her brother's graduation. She was very proud of him for sticking it out at Bayville High, especially when everyone found out what he really looked like.

He made the decision that he was going to show his real self at the graduation ceremony. He rarely wore his image inducer these days, only those times when it was better to be incognito. Of all the mutants at the Xavier Institute, Rogue felt that he was the bravest, especially when he made the decision that he was no longer going to hide.

He became an inspiration for other kids at the school, and it was a shock to learn that more than half the student body was mutants in one way or another. Kurt had actually given them the courage to come out. Bayville had over the last year had become more mutant friendly, and she was glad. Perhaps the next generation of kids would have it much easier than she did. All bad feelings were put aside for today. All she wanted to do was see her little brother graduate.

She was putting on her makeup when she felt a shadow in the doorway. She looked up to see a certain Cajun smirking at her. "Why are ya standin' there leerin' at me?"

"Ain't leerin', chere, jus' admirin'," he said and stepped into her room. He was wearing a black t-shirt and his leather jacket. "Remy like de way you look in dat dress."
