"Oh, so you're the new guy-?"

"The name's Gambit. But y'can call me Remy, chere."

"Yeah yeah save it for later. You're late for the Danger Room's session so hurry up!"

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Gambit can't help but notice you saved him chère an' not Wolverine, must be my way with women."
"Don't flatter yourself swamp boy!"

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Don't you ever get tired of listening to yourself?"

"Not when I'm talkin' about you Chere."

"Remy, what the heck are you doing?"

"Well, chere, they call it skii-eeeeeeeeeeeeeen!"

"You Slipped again Cajun!"

"OK, so we don't ski much on the bayou!"

"*Laughs* You sure you don't want help? "
"Course not, Gambit's a natural athlete. WHOOOOOOAAAA!"

"REMY!"

"I'm ok! I'm ok!"

"Are you sure, sugah? You just went down the whole hill on your back!"

"Well chere, you're really concerned. You care for Gambit eh?"

She smirked as she said : "& What if I do Swamp Rat?"

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Get outta here, Remy! While you can! Don't throw your life away."

"Girl, don' you ever listen? Wit'out you...I don't have much of a life!"

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Wow, it's really beautiful from here."

"Not as beautiful as you chere."

"Haha Looks like Bobby's freezed Logan. Again."

"Yeah, I bet he'll get his revenge really soon.

I love you Rogue."

"…Ah love you too, Remy."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"But I love y'Rogue."

"Ah love you too…Remy…An' Ah always…will…"

"Rogue? Chere? Mon Dieu please don't go please please…don't you let go…NOOOOOOO!"

With a jerk, Remy straightened up in bed.

It had been almost 3 weeks since Rogue died. Every time he closed his eyes he could see her. All the little things reminded him of her. Her voice echoed in his ear endlessly. He knew it was impossible for him to let her go. He took the ring out of his pocket. What if they found her in time? What if that bomb didn't go off? What if she got back? What if she said yes?

All these questions were left unanswered. They'll never be.

"I miss you chere. More than ever."

A silent tear rolled down his cheek.

In the small town of Grandview, Melinda Gordon seemed to lead a pretty much normal life; she lived with her husband Jim, who worked as a paramedic, & owned an antique shop "Same as it never was." In short, she seemed like a normal person. But not all things are what they seem to be, as her life was far from Normal. In her own words "All I know, is that I can speak to the dead. "

She encountered ghosts, or spirits of the dead, all the time, helping them to "cross over."

One day, she was going to work, when she saw her; a girl in her 20's, with a white streak in her auburn hair, wearing a green-&-Yellow costume, sitting on a bench, looking sad. No one seemed to notice her. Melinda passed by her & said: "Cool costume!"

The girl replied: "Umm, thanks. WHOA! wait a second, you can see me?" "Yes"

"But how? Ah'm a ghost. Ah'm dead."

"I have a gift. I can speak to the dead & see them. I can help you. What's your name?"

"Rogue"

"I'm Melinda."

"can you help meh? Ah've been stuck around since Ah died..& Ah can't really control where Ah'm goin'. Ah'm so confused..."

"I will help you to cross over. Tell me what you need. What happened?" "Have you ever heard about the X-Men?"

"New York? Really?" Jim stared at his wife Melinda with his eyes wide open. "You're going all the way to New York for a ghost?"

"I have to help her, Jim. She sacrificed herself to save her friends, & she died in pain. Her boyfriend's really crushed. She just wants to say goodbye one last time."

"& she's one of the 'X-Men'? The ones we hear about in the news?"

"Yup. I've looked them up, they live in a mansion in New York, & that's where I'll have to go."

Jim sighed, & said: "Well, we could really use a change of scenery, after everything's that happened lately."

"We? But what about your job?"

"I've already got a week off! & besides, I've wanted to go to New York for a long time!"

Jim chuckled excitedly as Melinda began to laugh.

"New York, here we come!"

Meanwhile, back in New York, it was early morning & Rogue was sitting on a bench, watching Remy on the other side of the street. She saw him leaning on his motorcycle, which was parked against the wall, simply looking at the world around him. He never seemed so sad. She moved closer to him, & kissed him on the cheek. "Ah…Ah'll go check on Melinda n' see if she got here yet. Ah love you."

She arrived at the hotel where Melinda was supposed to be. She stood in the lobby, wondering how she would know if Melinda was there yet.

A man called another one: "Hey Green! Take some Clean towels to The Gordon's room!"

"Right away."

She followed him to a room, waited till the man was gone, & peeked in.

"Morning Rogue!"

"Hey Melinda!"

"Oh she's here?" asked Jim.

"Rogue, that's my husband, Jim."

"Hi Jim."

"She says hi."

"Oh. Hello Rogue."

"So, Rogue, should we get going?"

"Yeah. Ok. Let's go."

Rogue & Melinda went back to the park where Remy had been, & he was still there.

"Hey Melinda, Do you see that guy over there? The one on a motorcycle."

"Yeah."

"That's Remy."

Melinda immediately walked to him, & asked: "Excuse me, Remy LeBeau?"

"Oui?"

"He talks French most of the time." Said Rogue.

"My name is Melinda Gordon, & I need to talk to you about something."

"Well, go ahead. What's dat "somt'ing" you wan' t'talk 'bout?"

"Rogue."

He freezed, staring at her in shock.

"Y'won't talk 'bout her."

"Mr. LeBeau..."

"NON!"

" Rogue is here. She needs you."

"Wha' you mean she's here? She's dead! She's gone! I'm all alone.."

"Her spirit is still here. She needs to crossover, & she needs your help to do that."

"Why can't I see her?"

"I have this...gift. I can see, & talk to spirits who still hadn't crossed over, & help them to do it. Rogue is here with me right now, & she needs to talk to you."

"Y're lying." He just said that before he stormed away.

"Well…Ah guess Ah didn't think he'd react like that. Not really."

"Everyone find a fact like that hard to believe."

"Y'know what, Ah got an idea, let's head t'the mansion."

Chapter 4: Moving On….? will be the last one!
