Here in the open. She felt more relaxed. Not sharing a house with so many people. Making her feel more cramped. She could breath here. Be herself. She was like an untamed animal. Who was trapped in a cage and finally was released into the wilderness.
She was away from noise and agony. She flew like a graceful creature. She was happy here. Sometimes she wished she didn't have to go back to the mansion so she could feel this tranquillity forever.
This was a perfect remedy for mental and physical pain. Scott and Jean used to think that it was OK that she flew in the breeze like she was doing now. But the minute she started flying in the rain, they started to get worried. Ororo would laugh when her friends told her that they were worried that she flew in the cold wet rain. However she'd tell them it was like taking a great shower. Then they'd leave her.
Oh but it was better than a shower.
What Ororo didn't know was she was being watched by her fellow team mate.
Logan watched Ororo fly. He was getting worried seeing her so high. Though he was fascinated by the skills she used when she was flying.
They both did this to eachother. Logan would watch Ororo wind ride or dance and Ororo would watch Logan in the danger room at night or in the wilderness.
In a way they have grown to trust eachother
Logan watched Ororo lower to the ground until he could see her no more. He enjoyed watching her wind ride. Now that she had stopped he was a little disappointed. Then he looked at the sky again waiting for the sun set.
"Logan, what are you doing up there?" Ororo asked. 'How did she get her so quick' he thought. He was sitting on a tree. "I should ask you the same thing. What were you doing up there?" he said with a half smile. "Can I join you/" Ororo asked. "Yah. Sure". He expected her to fly up the tree but she didn't.
She climbed up the tree. She did it gracefully and simply as if it was plain and simple. It was a struggle for him to get up there himself. She climbed up like a cat.
"So what was so special that made you sit on a tree ?" . 'You' he thought. "I came to watch the sunset" he told her. "I never thought you'd like those type of things" Ororo said, surprised. "Yeah I know. That's why this is for your ears only" Logan whispered quickly. Ororo laughed.
"Look at the horizon Ro. The colour the shape" he said. Ororo was fascinated. "Wow it's really beautiful. I usually just notice the sunset but both of them together is so...perfect" she realised. "Logan why do you pull the tough guy act in the mansion?" she wondered out loud. He shrugged. "Don' know. I really don'". "You're a really sensitive man, aren't you". "No!" he snapped, ashamed. "It's OK Logan. I won't tell anyone" she assured him. She then looked into his eyes. "Your eyes. I thought they were brown". "I wear brown contact lenses. I hate my eyes. They are so weird.Since I can't hide my hair. I hide my eyes" she told him sadly.
"But your eyes they are beautiful. No, really they are. They are like the sky or two precious jewels. It ain't like normal eye blue. It's cerulean. It's different but beautiful" he told her truthfully. "Thankyou Logan. You've made me feel much better" she smiled.
They had continued talking that they didn't notice that it was dark. Logan loved talking to Ororo, she was a good listener. She didn't butt in and she gave her opinion at the right time.
"Logan you should really become an art teacher" she giggled. "Nah standing in front of rugrats for an hour. Not my style" Logan sighed. Ororo playfully punched him. "Hey they are not rugrats, they are young adults" she said still laughing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Storm and Wolverine sitting in the tree K.I.S-" Kitty was stopped. "Kitty" Jubilee and Rogue moaned. "No REALLY! Look out the window" Kitty exclaimed pointing out her bedroom window. "OK. This will be much be better thahn a movie" Marie said staring out the window.

"Ro I don't see you hitched up with anyone. Why?" he asked curiously. "Well. I've had my heart broken too many times. And there was one man who really hurt me" Ororo remembered. "What's his name?" Logan asked. "Forge. Why?". "Forge OK. Remind me to write that name somewhere so I can find him and slice him later". Ororo giggled again. "So what did he do?" Logan asked again. "Well we went out for some time. Then he asked me to marry him. I told him I'd think about it. Then he came back and told me that he didn't want to marry me anymore and left" Ororo told him. Then a tear slid down her face. Logan wiped the tear from her face. "I'm sorry Ro" . "It's OK" she said smiling after wiping tears from her face. "It's better of anyway" she said. Logan was secretly happy it didn't happen, he couldn't imagine another man owning Ororo.
"I wouldn't do what Forge did to you Ro" he assured. "What?". "You don't have to but would you go out with me?" Logan asked. Her answer shocked him. "Yes Logan of course" she answered. Then they just started kissing.
"We should get back" Ororo said. "Don't you wanna watch the sunrise?" he asked playfully.
"Oh yes" Ororo said wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him for another long passionate kiss.
