EXT. MANSION GROUNDS-NIGHT

Outside the mansion grounds, Rogue was sitting on a bench in front of a massive fountain as she watched the night sky. Bobby slowly approaches her from behind.

BOBBY:
Hey.

Rogue looked over her shoulder.

ROGUE:
Hey.

Bobby sits down next to her.

BOBBY:
What are you doing out here?

ROGUE:
I was just wondering why it's not snowing yet. That's the only thing I didn't like about Mississippi. Hardly ever snowed.

BOBBY:
We can fix that, you know.

ROGUE:
Oh really? An' when did you get the power burst, Mr. Drake?

Bobby laughed.

BOBBY:
Just watch.

Bobby got up and put his hand on the fountain, covering it in ice.

BOBBY:
Give me your feet.

Rogue laughed.

ROGUE:
What?

BOBBY:
Come on, give me your feet.

She sits on the edge of the fountain, and Bobby makes ice skates for her. He does the same to himself, and they begin skating. After skating around in a complete circle, Bobby spoke;

BOBBY:
Thinking about the cure?

ROGUE:
I think we all are.

BOBBY:
But you're not actually thinking about taking it are you?

Rogue took a deep breath.

ROGUE:
Do you know what it's like to kiss a boy-

BOBBY:
I don't actually.

They both laugh, but the moment doesn't last long.

ROGUE:
I'm serious Bobby. I want to be able to touch people without worrying about killing them. A hug...a handshake...a kiss.

BOBBY:
This isn't about me, is it?

ROGUE:
No. It wouldn't be for you...it'd be for me.

They both look at each other silence for a moment before Rogue nearly trips but Bobby catches her and they both laugh. They then skate over to the fountain's edge and sat down. Rogue leans forward and kisses him lightly on the cheek.

ROGUE:
This was nice.

BOBBY:
I thought it could take our mind off things.

ROGUE:
Good night, Bobby.

Bobby smiles.

BOBBY:
Good night.
