This story came about because of a conversation I had with my sister. I was annoyed at Rogue's tiny little outfit in UXM #353 - 354 and Meghan and I started joking about all the reasons why that outfit wasn't the best possible choice for someone with Rogue's power. It's another silly one.

That's What Happens

Westchester
A warm, sunny, Storm-manipulated January day
The pond

"Oh my stars and garters! Rogue!"

Rogue trips and falls -- the large amount of bare skin exposed by her skimpy shorts coming into contact with Beast's furry, bathing suit clad body.

::Slurp!:::

"Ooops! Sorry 'bout that, sugah!"

Rogue continues on her way towards the pond, slightly bluer, furrier, and with bigger feet. Unfortunately, Rogue's enlarged feet run right into Storm's leg. Seeing as Rogue is wearing open toed sandals and Storm's bikini doesn't offer much covering, the usual skin to skin absorption is bound to occur.

"Goddess!"

::Slurp!::

"Sorry! Ah'll just shove yoah unconscious body outta the way an' you'll be up in no time!"

Rogue continues onward. Bobby is balancing a drink on his hand and moves back a step, straight into Rogue. He is only wearing his swim trunks, and Rogue has more than enough skin exposed.

::Slurp!::

"Ooops!"

Sam is tossing the frisbee to Jubilee, who runs to catch it. Unfortunately, Rogue's bare stomach is in the way of Jubilee's elbow. Following the pattern of the rest of the X-Men, Jubilee is momentarily absorbed.

::Slurp!::

"Sorry 'bout that, Jubilee!"

Sam, not being a fool, decides that it may be in his best interest to move to safer areas before Rogue and her tiny outfit come anywhere near him. He is in such a hurry to avoid being drained, that Sam runs right into Rogue's arm as she reaches out to snag a chip from the table.

::Slurp!::

Rogue moves Sam out of the way, but ends up tripping over his sprawled out body. Maggott, ever the lady's man, moves to help her. As expected, Maggott gets a handful of bare arm.

::Slurp!::

And then, the villain of the day arrives. Only Wolverine and (an insanely powered up) Rogue are still conscious and able to fight him. It's too bad that Wolverine was tossed right into Rogue, who hadn't had time to change into her uniform.

::Slurp!::

The villain, seeing the danger possessed by a Rogue wearing tiny little shorts and shirt, did the smart thing and ran off.

 

~The End~ (To the relief of all < g >)
