"Are you in there Rogue?" Asked Jubilee. "I need your shampoo, I'm out of mine." There was no answer. "Are you even in the bathroom?" Still no answer. No one had seen Rogue all night, so Jubilee thought that she was taking a bath. "I'm coming in..." She said as she opened the door. She saw Rogues knees, they looked a different color, paler. But that might have been because she had never worn anything besides pants. "Rogue?" She said as she started to open the door, "I'm just going to grab... Oh my God!!" The sight she saw was horrible. The water, which was now cold, was red. Red like blood. And her skin was paler then anything she had ever seen. But worst was her face, blank and emotionless. "ROGUE!! Somebody help!!" She sobbed. "Please," She fell to the floor, "Somebody help her!"
Scott ran into Rogues bedroom wearing nothing but boxers. "What is it? What's wrong..." That was when he saw Rogue for himself. "Dear God..."
Next came Jean and Storm, they had just gotten out of the danger room when they heard the screams. "What's the matter, Jubilee?" Jubilee just sat on Rouges bed sobbing. "Jubilee?"
Scott interupted, "It's Rogue." He said trying to surpress his tears, "She's... She's..."
"Dead?" Jean said hoping she was reading his mind wrong.
"Yes." He said, making Jubilee break out in uncontrollable crys.
Wolverine, who had been in the danger room untill now said, "What's going on?"
"Rogue's dead!" Cried Storm.
"What do you mean?!" He yelled
"It means she commited suicide, and didn't even say good bye!" Snapped Jubilee.
"I bet she would 'ave, if she new we would miss her." Remy said as he walked in the room, "Who we talking about any how? Where'd Rouge go off to?"
"Rogue," Said Scott, "Rogue's dead."
"She can't be! She just told me she was going on a long trip! She actually kissed me! I have the lip stick marks to prove it!" He said as he pointed to his lips.
"She can't have! She's right there!"
"But," He said as he looked into the bathroom, "I... I just saw... her!"

After Rogues funeral, Storm took a look around Rouges room, and noticed a envelope with the words 'READ THIS PLEASE!' on it. "What is this?" she said as she made her way towards it. She picked it up and looked at it for a second. "It's Rogues hand writing!!" She yelled.
In the recreation room, everyone sat to hear what Rouges letter said. Storm opened the letter.
"It's all hand written, I thought she didn't hand right!"
"That's only if she doesn't mean it so much." Remy said. He was dressed in all black, like everyone else, but all black.
"Are you all sure you want me to read it?"
"Yes!" everyone said in unision.
"Alright then." The writing was large and soft. Every letter seemed to mean somthing different. They were all looped just right, as if she cherished every second writing it.
"The letter?" Said Jean.
"Sorry, it is as follows."
"Dear everyone,
I am sorry, I had no other choice. No one can go through there entire life without touching someone. It was driving me crazy! I love everyone and life itself. But I cannot do what most of you take for grantite. Kissing, hugging, loving. I have not felt these things like you all have. I cannot. I wish I was never born like this. But how else would I meet such loving people? I love all of you. Especially you Remy! I swear, when I am dead! I will kiss you. You may not know it, but I will. That is my dying wish. I wish to kiss all of you. I know this is short, but you know what they say? Good things come in small packages!
Love always!
Rogue."
Everyone in the mansion was in tears. Some were holding each other, but none were without a tear. Even Wolverine, the toughest of them all was weeping like a baby.
"I miss her." Said Jubilee.
"We all do, hon. We all do." Said Jean.

Later that night, when everyone was asleep. Remy had a dream. He dreamt that he was walking in a garden with Rogue having a long talk. She was wearing a short and loose sun dress. They talked about the past between them, and the future they would have together. Before the dream was over, they gave each other a huge hug and kissed for what seemed like hours.
"J'adore vous!" Said Remy.
"I love you more!" Said Rogue back to him. "I will never forget you!"
"And I, you!" He said. And they gave each other one last kiss before going there seperate ways.

Remy woke up that morning in tears. He wished that he could dream like that forever. As a tear rolled down his cheek, He said "Ah will always love ya."
