Remy scowled over at Amara briefly and noticed her staring at his buddy, well that was interesting, but it didn't change the fact that she hadn't even noticed Rogue's absence. That slightly ticked him off. Actually it really pissed him off. Rogue had the habit of acting so 'alone' and people not noticing she'd been kidnapped seemed to prove her point.

Tabby watched him threaten the kid making his pretzel and then flirt with one of the girls that also worked there. Highly annoyed, a brilliant idea popped into her head.
"Forced vacation my foot..." She muttered under her breath as she pulled a cell phone out of her pocket and dialed the number to the mansion. "Let's make things interesting, shall we?" She waited while it rang, hoping that Rogue would pick up; she didn't really want to deal with Cyke right now.
"Rogue! Great, I was hoping you'd answer." She paused while Rogue said something. "Hey, you'll never guess who Amara and I just ran into at the mall." Another pause. "No. Listen, you should get over her asap. Trust me on this." Tabby then hung up the phone and turned back around to look at the others, a huge smile on her face while she secretely hoped that Rogue would show up. 'That'd show that dirty, low-down, good for nothing...'
Once again, she was distracted from her thoughts when she saw Remy look over at them. Or rather, glaring at Amara. Biting her tongue, she gave him a sweet smile and a little wave, noticing the drink he'd yet to pick up and making a mental note to slide one of her bombs into it.

Rogue looked around the mall with a frown. She hated this place--it was the one place she usually liked to stay away from...except for today. Rogue was trying to hide from Kurt and Kitty--both of which were bugging her to talk. Luckily Tabs had called, giving her an excuse to leave the mansion.
With a sigh Rogue turned around in a circle, keeping her eyes peeled for a shop that would catch her interest--or Tabitha. What she found was the one thing--or person--she didn't want to see.
Now to leave without him noticing her.

"Remy thanks yah mon ami, and perhaps you can keep yoh job." He nodded his head at the highly irritated teen behind the register and walked back to the small group of people. "See somethin' yah like?" He teased Amara, and figured no one else would get the joke. They were after all in a mall.
"Whatcha smilin' 'bout petit diable?" Remy questioned Tabby and began to drain his slushy, and make sure the blonde couldn't reach his beloved twisty pretzel.

Tabby just continued to grin at him while eyeing his slushy and trying to see if she could somehow "accidently" slip a bomb into it without him noticing.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" She replied while spotting something out of the corner of her eye. 'Is that Rogue?' She wondered, trying to check without making it too obvious as to what she was doing.
Bringing her attention back to the guy in front of her, she eyed his slushy again. "Say Rems, can I have a sip?"

"Deh names Remy. Go ahead." He handed her the drink and shoved his hands in his pockets while scanning the mall. His eyebrows shot up and a little smirk played on his face at what he saw. Rogue at a mall? A little strange, but still very welcome. He would have waved, but she'd probably take off.
Gambit wasn't entirely sure how to say 'hello' without ticking her off. He had kidnapped her, but she'd had that whole 'wrong thing right reasons' and it seemed to get him off the hook before. Though he was an 'enemy' so to speak and typically one did not take kindly to such people.

Rogue took a deep breath. She had two options now. One, walk up to Tabitha and...him; or Two, turn and run.
Number two seemed ideal--so long as Tabitha didn't call her over.

Tabby gladly took the drink from him and took a small sip. She noticed that his attention was now elsewhere and took the opportunity to slip a small bomb into his drink. Handing it back to him, Tabby began to back away slowly until she was sure she was out of the danger zone.
However, too late did she realize that Amara wasn't...
'Oh crap.' She thought, noticing her friend wasn't paying the least bit of attention. Tabby turned and saw Rogue again, this time she waved her over.

"Ah!" Gambit dropped the drink and scowled. He hadn't thought he'd been that distracted. "Uh sorry..." He glanced up at Pyro and Amara, but then noticed the fragments of the cup on the ground. "Wait one minute, Remy didn' do that." The Cajun leaned down and picked up the cup. "Remy don' leave stuff behind, dis would be history, and it looks like somet'ing popped it from deh inside out."
Gambit scowled again and tried to shake slushy off his hands. "Well dis is jus' great."

Rogue broke into a small smile at the sight of the Cajun trying to get slushy off his hand. It served him right. She sighed. She might as well join them, seeing as how Tabitha had gone to all the trouble of calling her.
She pressed her lips together as she headed in Tabitha's direction. Rogue refused to let a slimy Swamp Rat scare her away.

Amara blinked and then loked down at her shoes. She gave and annoyed smile and let a very tiny little jet of flame weave in and out from between her fingers. "Tabz..."
She slowly looked over at her friend. "You are going to pay for another slushy arn't you?" That was about all she could say besides completely blowing up in swears. Besides... she liked these shoes...

With a roll of her eyes Rogue joined Amara and Tabitha. Go figure the blonde would destroy a perfectly good slushy to prove herself to an Acolyte.
"Havin' fun?" she asked crossing her arms in front of her chest, gaining the group's attention.

"Bonjour." Remy smiled over at Rogue and shrugged sheepishly. "Yah like, Chere? Remy call it, tornado in a slushy. Newest look." His red eyes darted over to Amara, who looked like she might pop at any moment. This was a new shirt, but then again she had probably paid for her clothes.

"You look more like a drowned rat ta meh," retorted Rogue. She edged a step away from the Cajun so as not to get any of the spilled slushy remnants on her. Rogue then glanced over at Amara. Hiding a smirk, Rogue searched around for a napkin and handed it to the brunette.
"Someone got a little carried away," she said to Tabitha.

Tabby smiled guiltily. "Sorry, Amara." She then turned to Rogue. "Every minute is fun with me around! Right, Rems?" She nudged him and laughed.
"And trust me, he deserved it!" She told Rogue, sending a glare the Cajun's way.
