“I’m very proud to present our next performance…our lovely Rouge!” announced Cyclopes as everyone in the Mansion started to clap.

The curtains came up as Marie could feel the butterflies fluttering away in her stomach. She gave a small smile to the audience, seeing the reassuring familiar faces. For once, she was wearing a short red dress and a long sleeved silk shirt with white gloves over her hands.

Kitty had helped styled her hair so that it was in a sophisticated twist bound by sticks. Her white streaks were styled so that it framed her right side of the face.      

Despite her nervousness, Marie made a stunning vision that left more then a few men in the mansion, drooling…

Within the corner of the room stood a man. His eyes widen at how much skin she was showing, but an appreciative smile came on his face.  

Marie cleared her throat as she said quietly, “Tonight, I shall sing Celine Dion’s song entitled, The Reason…For the person this is the dedicated to…know my reason…”

Everyone started to hoot and clap as the music came on over the makeshift stage and Marie opened her mouth and sang in a haunting voice…

I figured it out
I was high and low and everything in between


Sashaying off to where the man was standing in the corner. She moved closer and everyone suddenly figured out who the song was dedicated to….

I was wicked and wild, baby, you know what I mean
Till there was you, yeah, you


Pointing a gloved finger on the chest of the man, Marie smiled and continued to sing…

Something went wrong
I made a deal with the devil for an empty I.O.U.


Marie backed off and moved back as the man, dazed at what this could mean stalked forward.

Been to hell and back, but an angel was looking through
It was you, yeah, you
It's all because of you


Scott had at the beginning when realizing what this song was meant as a love confession, had walked over to the lights and was about to hit the lights when Kitty, Jubilee and Jean all tackled him quietly from behind…

You are the reason
You are the reason I wake up every day
And sleep through the night
You are the reason, the reason

In the middle of the night
I'm going down 'cause I adore you
I want to floor you


The scuffling that ensued distracted some of the people…but it didn’t distract the singer or her interest as he slowly followed her up on the stage…  

I'm giving it up
No more running around spinning my wheel
You came out of my dream and made it real
I know what I feel
It's you
It's all because of you


Seeing Scott trussed up like an Easter egg, quickly discouraged the ideas of Bobby and Remy to even stop what was happening.  

You are the reason
You are the reason I wake up every day
And sleep through the night
You are the reason, the reason

In the middle of the night
I'm going down 'cause I want you
I want to touch you
I want to floor you
You are the reason, baby


Marie slowly pulled off one of her gloves and dropped it to the ground as she with her hand, she slowly touch the man’s face.

You are the reason
You are the reason I wake up every day
And sleep through the night
You are the reason, the reason


Nearly everyone in the room had turned speechless as more then one’s mouth had dropped opened.

Seeing that he wasn’t hurt by her touch…Marie started to laugh as Logan’s shock suddenly passed and he grabbed her, trapping her within his arms. He leaned down and started to kiss her hungrily on the lips as the curtains came down…
