Rain On Your Parade

<sub>The warm sun beams felt good on her skin. Shifting the hat on her head sitting on the laid out towel she leaned back. Closing her eyes she let the wind lightly caress her skin the cross of the warmth from the sun and the cool of the wind kept you at just the perfect temperature.

"Room for one more 'Ro." A rugged voice spoke as shadow fell over her.

"Why Logan, I was not completely sure that would be joining us today." Turning a soft smile toward the man behind her. "What changed your mind?"

Heaving his broad shoulders in a shrug he sat down behind the white haired weather witch. Striking blue eyes hidden beneath the shadow of her hat, watching him as an amused smile lit her face.

"What? No answer. That is odd."

"Not odd to be out side. I ain't no shut in." He retorted. A light chuckle escaped her lips shaking her head.

"All right. Fair enough. Care for something to drink?" Reaching her hand in to the cooler she pulled out a bottle of soda. Seeing the raised brow and the unamused scowl on his face. "Sorry Logan, this is all that we've got. That or water."

A deep chuckle rumbled out of his throat, running a hand down his face considering his options.

" 'ey mon ami! So 'ou do decide to join eh?" Both of them turning to see a soaked Gambit running toward them a huge grin on his tanned face. Rolling his eyes he grabbed the bottle from Storm's hand.

Stopping just short if Logan, " Wha' 'appen to da 'I'm busy Gumbo.' 'ou t'ought 'bou' i' an' decide i's a good idea t'get out non?"

"Yeah I did decide it was a good idea, but only to make sure that you keep your slimy hands you yer self boy. It ain't cause I thought it was a good idea...or whatever the hell you said."

"Yeah....sure it ain't." that irritating coy smile crossed his lips at raised his brows at him, subtly jutting his chin Storms direction. Raising his brows again Logan glanced at Storm and then turned a hot glare back at the man.

"If ya want to keep your head on your shoulders Gumbo, you should take off."

Shrugging his shoulders he sauntered over to Storm. "Don' 'ou look gorgeous today Stormie." He took her hand and kissed it.

"Best to watch those moves Gambit, lest you spend the rest of the day unconscious." She said with a slight giggle. Glancing over his should her spotted Rogue lounging on a beach chair under an umbrella.

Another giggle, "I was not talking about Rogue." She eyed him and thumbed over her shoulder. Remy could see the "I'm gonna kill you look" he shot back with an "I knew it" look.

"Bes' wa'ch da comp'ny ya keep chere. Dey migh' bring ya down."

"I am sure I will be fine. Go enjoy your self."

"Don' I always." He said with a huge grin and ran off to find Rogue who had walked off a whole ago.

Turing back toward the man behind her she saw that he chugged the drink she had given him, and had started on another.

"I am pretty sure that soda mixed with water does not have the same affect as the beer you drink."

"Yeah, well doesn't the professor talk about the power of the mind and all that junk."

"Oh, Gambit is not that bad. He is just young and rambunctious. He does not mean any harm."

"Over sexed and idiotic. I don't know how you put up with him 'ro."

"You do not know how many times I have heard that about you as well." She said with a smile, a smile tugged at his lips, what is it with this woman. He couldn't stay angry for to long, just as smoothly as she could calm the weather, she could calm him as well.

Looking back away from her looked out at the scattered x-men. Scott and Jean cuddling under an umbrella, Gambit was chasing Rogue out among the waves. Beast was sitting up by the professor underneath the shade of a palm tree.

A few others were out swimming or playing chicken in the ocean. They had had a hard couple of months lately so being out relaxing at the beach was a good idea. He turned back to look at Storm who had reached up to adjust her hat. Glancing back at him with a coy smile on her face.

A small shadow appeared above his head,"Hey 'ro that's not what I think it is..is...?"

Before he could finish, he felt a slight sprinkling on him. Closing his eyes, he let a low chuckle escape his lips as a light one fell through hers.

"Oh 'ro not you too."

"Not me too what Logan. I think that it suits you seeing as how you are being a Johnny Raincloud today."

"Gambit put you up to this didn't he?"

"Gambit did not put up to anything."

"So all you then?"

"It is all me. Why? Is the big bad Wolverine going to get me?" She said as a smirk pass over her cocky expression.

A smile pulled on his mouth as he stood, hearing her stand too. The rain still pouring on his head slowly dissipated as she started running away him chasing after her.

Gambit pulled him self from the wave that crashed him down. Flipping his hair back, he heaved him self to his feet. Glancing over as he heard squealing and laughing coming from the beach. A smile pulled at his lips as he watched Ororo blow Logan back with a small gust of wind to get a better head start.

"Ah yah all righ' sugah?" A laughing Rogue came up beside him.

"Yup. I'm jus' fine mon couer. Jus' fine."</sub>

ANYWHO! This is my continuation of my practice on moar X-Men couples! It's Ororo and Logan's debut! I know it's kind of light.
