"Oh thank god you're here!" Jean exclaimed, actually giving Rogue a hug.
"Umm, okay..." Rogue said, stunned at this unusual reaction.
"Maybe you can straighten your friends out in the caf. They're been breaking those stupid kitchen rules Bobby came up with since dinner last night. Since before dinner. Their favourite lines this morning has been 'Good morning Jean', 'Jean is a four-letter word' and 'that's a directed violation of rule #46'."
Rogue raised her eyebrows.
"And they seem overly fond of the word 'French' too," Jean added.
"Ah see."
**********
"Rogue! You're here!"
"Good French morning Rogue!"
"Egads! That's a direct violation of rule #46."
"Yeah well, I think that use of the word 'violation' is a violation of rule #50."
"Well, if it is, you broke it too."
"So... what's going on, exactly?" Rogue asked. "Ah mean, the first thing that happens when Ah get is is that Jean is so thrilled to see me she gives me a hug -"
"Aww, poor Rogue. Jean germs."
"- and rambles on about y'all violatin' Bobby's kitchen rules and could Ah please straighten y'all out. Also, what kind of greetin' is 'Good French morning, Rogue'?"
"It's a violation of rule number #46, specifically #46b which says that we can't use the word French, not even referring to coffee. The first part of rule #46 is about not using four letter words in conjunction with 'good morning', nor should any reply to it have any either," Jubliee nodded.
"I think that you're both breaking rule #50 which says that there shouldn't be any talking about a seventh grade reading level before 11am," Lance nodded.
"Aww, you didn't say violating," Kitty giggled.
Rogue shook her head.
"Y'all very, very strange."
"You just figured that one out? Oh, also, we need to get Gambit in here to make some bad Cajun cooking, and we can all be so reluctant to wash the dishes and then we can recreate -"
"Recreate?" Lance questioned.
"Okay, create the Ghost of Elvis."
"Nope, sorry, that's not possible," Rogue shook her head.
"Aww, why not?"
"Ah don't think Remy understands what bad cookin' is," Rogue said, then reconsidered. "Actually, no, he does. He won't let me cook for him any more."
Tracy laughed.
"Now, if y'all wanted awesome Cajun cookin', then somethin' could be arranged."
"Nope," Jubilee shook her head. "The recipie specifically calls for 'bad, late night Cajun cooking'."
"Hmm, well, Ah think Ah could give it a shot. Y'know, after all the stuff Ah've absorbed from Gambit, Ah still don't seem ta have retained any of his culinary expertise."
"You're breaking rule #50 again, Rogue."
"Shush you."
"But shouldn't it really be Gambit who's responsible?" Kitty asked. "I mean, it does tell him to wash the bowl."
"Yeah, but he'll be breaking that rule without even trying because none of us are going to be washing the bowl. Ever," Jubilee nodded.
"This is true. Rogue, Gambit shows up way more on that list that I do. So not fair."
"Hey I'm outnumbered by Warren and he doesn't live here either. He's shows up once. Thats's more than I do," Tracy pointed out.
"Ah dunno, Tracy," Rogue said. "That just means you haven't caught Bobby's attention. Some could argue that's a good thing."
