Chapter 16: Alternate Ending

Remy was waiting in the foyer for Rogue; they were going out to the nicest restaurant in town and he was going to pop the question. He knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her the moment she woke up two weeks ago, one week after the battle with the Brotherhood.

Remy's head snapped towards the stairs as he heard the sound of her heels against the floor. She looked stunning in a tight green dress, with silver heels and her hair in a bun. She stopped right next to Remy and giggled at his slack-jawed expression. Remy quickly regained his composure, flung Rogue over his shoulder and raced up the stairs.

Rogue squealed in surprise as Remy raced towards their room "WHAT ARE YAH DOIN' SWAMP RAT?"

Remy flung the door open and deposited her on the bed before replying "Chere, Remy's not lettin' yo' outside dis room in dat outfit, all de hommes be wantin' yo'."

Rogue giggled as she began to slowly slide out of her new dress.

After hours of making love, Remy and Rogue dressed in bed sheets to go out to their balcony to watch the blue moon. Rogue looked up at the stars and paid no mind to the sound of Remy shuffling through his coat pockets. After a few minutes Rogue grew impatient waiting for Remy; she turned around to say something only to find him behind her on one knee.

"Chere, Remy loves yo' more den he can ever say. Remy had a speech prepared, mais yo' a very belle distraction. Veux-tu m'épouser? Will yo' marry dis ol' Cajun?"

Rogue felt as if she could barely breathe; she frantically nodded 'yes' as he slipped the most beautiful ring she had ever seen onto her finger. Remy rose to embrace his fiancé and the second full moon of the month hit its highest point.

The sky flashed a bright blue and the mansion began to tremble. Rogue began to feel as if her skin was sucking at Remy's soul and Remy's sheet began to glow a magenta colour.

Little did they know that not only were 'mutants' everywhere beginning to gain new powers, but the time of Apocalypse had begun.
