*Still In Flash Back*
The next day Logan woke up at 6 am and started packing or throwing his clothes haphazardly into his green duffelbag might be a better description of it. By the time Logan had had his shower and packed it was 7 am, ::Time to go wake the kid::
Logan walked down to Marie’s bedroom; he knocked on the door and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited. Logan became annoyed and opened her door. “Marie?” Logan called out, as he looked around the room; he saw her cupboards and drawers open, but nothing was in them. ::Maybe she has already gone down::
So with that Logan walked down into the kitchen, and he was right. Marie’s head was hiding in the refrigerator singing along to the radio she had on and shaking that fine ass of hers.
“You sure know how to shake it.” Logan said giving Marie a smirk, but Marie was not smirking back as she hit her head on the refrigerator.
“FUCK!!” Marie cried as she rubbed her head. As she emerged from the refrigerator she could hear laughing and turned around to see Logan staying in the doorway laughing his head off.
“It’s not funny, it fucking hurt. So are you ready to go?” Marie asked trying to change the subject.
Logan just looked at her for a few moments then spoke, “Yeah I’m all packed, and from the looks of your room you are too, but we still need to tell Chuck and old One Eye.”
“His name is Scott.” Marie said looking at him, Logan only raised an eyebrow at her. “I know, doesn’t mean I have to call him that.” Logan smirked at Marie.
“Do you think they’re going to let us go, I mean it is on short notice, and what if there’s trouble?” Marie started to ask.
“Well they can’t really say no, ‘cause Chuck knows I’ll go with or without his permission,” Logan moved over to Marie and placed his hands on her shoulders and made her look him in the eyes, “Plus you’re on summer break so you won’t miss any work, and there’s plenty of people round here that can help fight if there is an attack, so stop worrying.” With that Logan gave Marie shoulders a quick squeezes and headed for the door.
“Where you going?”
“I’m going to go see a man about some wheels, c’yah out front in awhile ‘kay ”
“’Kay” and with that Logan went in search of the professor. The professor was in his office looking over some information about a new mutant that had been spotted on the west coast.
“Come in Logan” the professor said with out looking up at the door.
“I need to ask a favour. I am taking off for awhile and I need to use one of your SUV.” Logan said walking over and sitting in the chair in front of the professor’s desk.
“Is there a reason for the SUV, you usually take off on Scott’s bike.” The professor said, making both him and Logan smirk.
“Well yeah I do, but I’m not going alone this time.” The professor gave Logan a look, which could be described as shock and surprise.
“Oh, and whom may I ask are you taking?”
Logan only answered with one word, “Rogue.”
“I see. Logan, do you think it’s wise for you to take Rogue along with you on your trip?” The professor asked in a fatherly way.
“Look, both me and Rogue could do with a break from this place, she wont miss work and if anyone attacks you got enough mutants round here to sink a battle ship, literally. So what’s the harm if two little mutants get away for awhile?” Logan asked.
“There is no harm in it at all, in fact I think it’s a good idea for both off you to get away. When do you plan to leave?” The professor asked with a kind smile upon his face .
“We were thinking of leaving in a few hours, the sooner the better right?”
“Right. Well Logan, I hope both you and Rogue will enjoy your trip, and yes you may use one of the SUV. I shall inform the others of your departure a soon as possible.”
“Well, I was hoping you’d wait till we’ve actually left, I don’t want One Eye giving us an earful before we leave.” Logan said getting out of the chair.
“Okay, but you might want to think about leaving before Scott wakes up, which will be pretty soon.” The professor said looking back at his notes.
“Yeah we will. Hey Charles?” The professor looked up at Logan. “Thanks.” With that Logan walked out of the professor office and headed for the kitchen to tell Rogue that they were leaving, now.
*One Hour Later*
“How many bags do you have kid?” Logan called after putting Marie’s 5th bag into the SUV.
“This is the last one, and why are you complaining for you know that I only pack light if I’m running and I ain’t running so I have a right as a women to pack every little thing I will need.” Marie said as she handed Logan her last bag.
“I will never understand women.” Logan tried to say under his breath but was heard by Marie.
“And we will never understand you!” With that said Marie hopped into the SUV waiting for Logan. A few minutes later Logan joined her in the driver’s seat.
“So are we all ready to go?” Logan asked starting up the SUV.
“Yeah I guess.” Was all Marie said looking back at the mansion.
“What is it?” Logan asked looking at her.
“Nothing. Let’s go.” Marie said looking back at Logan.
“Nope sorry this thing doesn’t move until you tell me what’s going on in that pretty little head of yours!” With that Logan killed the engine waiting for Marie to talk.
“It’s just, where are we going to go? North, south, east, west, where?” Marie said turning in her seat to look Logan in the face.
“Well how about this, we go all over the states then head up to Canada. How does that sound?” Logan said turning round in his seat to look at Marie.
“That sounds like a plan, but what about money, do we have enough?” Marie asked with that worried tone of hers.
“I still got a couple of thousand from the fight circuit so I got us covered, okay?”
“Okay.” With that Marie turned round in her seat again facing the right way.
“Well then, lets hit the road before One Eye wakes up and stops us.” With that said Logan started up the SUV and drove out of the gates.
~Rogue P.O.V.~
Logan and I have been on the road for a few weeks now, and I’ve loved every minute of it. We’ve been to so many places such as Washington DC, yes I know we’ve been there before but this time it wasn’t for work. We’ve also been to Tennessee, through Mississippi, which I wasn’t quit happy with, but we only drove through and didn’t stay there, even saw my old house, still looks the same. We carried on through to New Orleans, which I have to say I loved. If I ever leave the manor, that’s the state I’m going to live in.
Anyway then we carried on through Texas, where I couldn’t help but buy Logan a new belt with a very big belt buckle, he couldn’t help but laugh at it. We continued through to Oklahoma, where I just couldn’t stop singing that song from Oklahoma. In the end Logan said if I wouldn’t shut up he would dump my sorry ass on the side of the road and I would have to walk back to New York. But I saw the truth in Logan’s eyes; he liked that song just as much as me. (A/N hehehe sorry I couldn’t help it.)
After that we spent a few extra days in California so that I could just spend a few days on the beach without worrying that I’m going to kill somebody whilst catching a few rays. Also whilst we were there I showed Logan that us southern girls do know how to surf, I proved it to him several times, and got a free beer out of it.
Now we are heading for Nevada, or should I say Las Vegas. Logan said he wanted to get a bit more money for something, but wouldn’t tell me what. There is one good thing about Las Vegas, and that is I’m going to be spending my 23rd birthday there, I couldn’t think of a better place to spend it, and a better person to spend it with.
~Logan P.O.V.~
THANK GOD we got out of Oklahoma as fast as we did, I don’t think I could have taken that song any longer. We spent a few more days than planed in California, but it was worth it. The look on Marie’s face when she saw the beach was un-describable; I would live in California just to see that look on her face everyday. Whilst we were there I checked in at Xavier’s, turns out Scott was not happy with our departure as he so clearly said to me when he answered the phone.
Then I got an earfull from that kid that’s friends with Marie, you know the one that’s always in yellow, Jubilee I think it is. Anyway she was yelling at me for ruining the surprise party that she and that other friend were planning for Marie’s birthday. I didn’t even know her birthday was coming up, that’s when Jubilee informed me that I was never there when it was her birthday. I really felt like kicking myself then, Jubilee also informed me that it wasn’t for a few days and that it was her 23rd birthday. This was good, it gave me time to think and get a birthday present for her.
So after that phonecall I spent days thinking of the perfect gift for Marie. Then the day before we were due to leave Marie and I were walking down this quite little road when I saw a sign in a jewellery shop, Engraved jewellery for just $10 that was it, I’ll get her something to replace my dog tags, something that she can keep with her at all times and think of me, but how am I going to get rid of her so that I can go pay for it.
“Hey Marie why don’t we split up and do our own shopping before we leave, I know you want to get something for those friends of yours back home.” I said to her. At first she just looked at me trying to find out what I was up to, guess my poker face threw her off.
“You’re right I do have to get something for them, if I don’t I know Jubes will kill me, alright how about we meet back at the hotel at about 5 and go to dinner?” Marie said looking over at me.
“Sounds like a date, see you then.” With that Marie went one way and I went another, after about 5 minutes I went back to the jewellery shop.
“Good afternoon sir how may I help you?” an elderly man behide the counter said to me.
“Yeah, its my girls 23rd birthday coming up and I want to get something engraved for her, but it has to be done within the hour, can it be done?” I asked the old man.
“Of course it can young man,” Logan raised his eye brow when he heard the term ‘young man’ ::Yeah right, compared to me you’re the young man::
“What kind of jewellery were you thinking of having engraved?” The old said as started to pull out rings, pendants, and bracelets.
“I don’t know, something small, do you sell dog tags?” I asked hoping that I could just replace the ones from before.
“No I’m afraid we don’t, and beside dog tags are not a nice present for young ladies birthday. How about these, two for one, that way she has a piece of you, and you have a piece off her.” The man pulled out two small white gold rings, plain and not much to them.
“Yeah there’ll do, how much for both of them to be graved?” I asked pulling out my wallet.
“Well let me see here, two graved objects would be $20, plus the price of the rings, that would be $120.” With that said I pulled out two $50 and a $20 bill.
“What would you like the inscription to say?” The old man asked, it me a few moments to think of what I wanted, then it hit me.
“I want it to say L + M forever.”
“As you wish sir, I’ll do it now.” The old man said heading for the back room to start the engraving. Logan just stood in the shop with a big grin on his face.
::Marie if you and me are not together by the end of the trip, then I’ll leave the mansion, ‘cause there is no way I’m going to live my life without you as my girl::
The next part of Marie’s present is to take her to Vegas; I don’t know why I just have this feeling that she’ll like the lights and the gambling, well I hope she does, I know I will.

Author's Chapter Notes:
The next two chapters is still in the flash back stage, and will go up to where they wake up in the hotel room, I think this story is only going to be about 5 or 6 chapters, but I’ll see what I can do. I though I would be kind to everyone and split chapter 3 and 4, because it was ending being 12 pages long and I though it was kind off long for people to read.
