At Xavier's school for the gifted, most of the students were in their rooms or in the lounge, chilling out. It was 7 on a Friday night, the end of the week and all the students were looking forward to a few days of no lessons.

In the girl's wing, Rogue was playing Monopoly with Jubilee, Kitty and Siren. She was winning too. Just as she was about to knock Kitty out of the game, there was a knock at the door. Jubilee jumped up to answer it. Rogue counted her fake money and was just about to make Kitty an offer she couldn't refuse.

"Rogue?" Jubilee called from the door. "Bobby's here to see you."

She jumped up from the game and greeted her boyfriend with a warm smile. "Hey!"

"Bonsoir Madame." Bobby said charmingly, picking up her gloved hand and kissing it. She giggled. He dropped the posh act and went back to his usual teenage-boy persona. "You free tonight?"

"Um..." she looked behind her. Kitty was frantically scanning the board for a way to stay in the game while Jubilee and Siren were watching herself and Bobby.

"Well I spoke to Professor Xavier," he said. "He said that we can go into the city for one night, as long as we follow all the usual rules and be back before 10."

"Wow, really?" Rogue said in disbelief. They were barely allowed off campus during the day, but at night!?

"She'll go" Jubilee announced from behind her. Her and Kitty had their roommate's coat between them and put it over her shoulders.

"C'mon," Kitty urged. "You won't get another chance to get out of here for a while. Anyway, if you go we can take all your money and properties!"

Rogue laughed. "Ok, I'll go." She said, putting her arms inside her jacket and pulling her hair out from the back. "I'll see you guys later."

She closed the door behind her and Bobby and walked down the hall towards the stairs, linking her arm with his. "So where we going?"
