Disclaimer: I do not own the X-men, Marvel does. I don't make money off this. So don't sue. Unless your bored.

Authors note: This is a romance/drama (of sorts) between Wolverine and Jubilee. It features mostly them, but other X-men are present. I wrote this because I am sick and tired of Marvel having Logan pine over Jean, and I was a little pissed off that they just kinda dropped the entire Wolverine/Jubilee relationship. Plus I want them together. If Jubes/Wolvie romances ain't your thing, I suggest you click "back" on your web server. This is the first chapter of the story, and I actually have idea's rolling around my fat head for two more stories, If ya guys like this one. So please let me know what you think! Just please keep in mind this is my first fan fiction. Well, enjoy!

Chapter 1

            Jubilee sighed. With a duffel bag full of clothing slung over her right shoulder, she gazed up at the large mansion. *Four years* she thought. *Four years since I've been home*. She sighed again and started to walk up the steps to the door. She slowly raised her hand to knock the stopped. *What are you doing Lee? You're living here again. You don't need to knock*. Even though, while at college, she rarely visited, this was her home. Her only home. After she graduated, she told Professor Xavier that she wanted to move back in the mansion, and join the X-men again. Xavier, of course, had no qualms about this idea and said she could come home whenever she was ready.

            So here she was, standing in front of the door to the mansion. *In front of her home* she thought. She nervously put her hand on the doorknob. *Nervous. Why the hell am I so nervous? Maybe because you haven't seem everyone in a long time, doofus. One person in particular*. Jubilee took a deep breath and opened the door.

            "Hello?" She asked, to no one in particular.

            "Who dat?" A man with a thick Cajun accent said, walking out of the kitchen.

            "Gambit!" Jubilee squealed, all her nervousness melting away as she ran to hug the Cajun.

            "Jubilee," Gambit said, hugging her back "Chere, Gambit so happy te see ya. Wa'cha' been doin' wit' yo'self?"

            "Oh nothing. Just ya know, graduating from college, moving back in here, joining the X-men again, you know, usual, everyday stuff."

            "Gambit know all dat' petite, I jus'...."

            "Hey sugah!" A vibrant female voice exclaimed.

            "Rogue!" Jubilee said, turning away from Gambit.

            "Mah sugah, look how you grown! Yah jus' look beautiful! Ain't dat' right Gambit?"

            "Gambit be noticin' de petite grown up to a beautiful young woman, but Gambit want ta say dat' to de petite in private." Gambit replied sheepishly.

            "I swear Remy LeBeau, yah goin' tah regret saying dat'" Rogue said, very annoyed. Jubilee giggled. For as long as she has known Gambit and Rogue, they always seem to fight over EVERYTHING. However, as anyone can plainly see, they were very much in love.

            "Listen sugah, me an' Remy here are goin' tah go tell everyone that yah home."

            "Alright Rogue. Just let me got to my room and unpack a few things." Jubilee flashed a brilliant smile towards Rogue and Gambit, and went upstairs to her room. She smiled to herself. Her room was exactly the way she had left it. She smiled and threw her duffel bag on the bed and began to unpack some clothing. She walked over to the closet to put her clothes away, when she saw her yellow rain coat and sunglasses hanging on the closet door. She picked up the raincoat and examined it. "Ug. What exactly were you thinking Lee. Why would anyone ever wear this? It's hideous." She continued to look and it, and then burst out laughing. "I guess its true. College really can change a person. Scary thing is, this thing probably still fits. Well maybe not is some areas." She said looking at her chest. Although Jubilee was now a young woman aged 23, she was still very small and short. She was only 5'2", and weighed maybe 100 lbs. But, as she got older, she really filled out. Her breasts, while not large, fit her body perfectly, and were very round and supple. She looked behind her at her butt. It was nice, round and firm, *all those hours of gymnastics really paid off* she thought. Her hair, once short and cropped, now flowed vibrantly down to her shoulders. Her eyes were still large and almond colored, and she had beautiful full lips.

            Jubilee tossed the raincoat on the floor and decided to change clothes. She pulled off the clothes she was wearing and put on a pair of short, tight cut-off jean shorts, and a baby blue tank top. She then put her hair in a ponytail and walked over to the mirror. *You ain't a kid anymore Jubilation Lee.* she thought looking at her reflection in the mirror. She was so glad to be back, and glad that Remy and Rogue haven't changed much, unlike her. She was no longer the mall rat, spunky kid everyone mothered. Although she still had a little bit of spunkiness to her, and was still a little bit of a smart-alec. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

            "Hey, Jubilee, yah coming down?" Rogue said, peaking her head in the doorway.

            "Yeah Rogue, I'm coming right now."

+++++++++++++++++++

            All the resident X-men greeted jubilee down stairs. Jean, Storm, Cyclops, Beast, Iceman, Pyslocke, Professor X, and of course, Gambit Rogue. She happily talked to all of them, answering their questions of "how was college", "what made you decide to be an X-man again", "how have you been" and the like. Jubilee suddenly realized someone was missing.

            "Where's Wolvie?" She asked

            "Oh, he is in the danger room, working out some 'frustrations', you know Logan." Cyclops, leader of the X-men, said sarcastically.

            "And you guys didn't get him? I would think you people knew me a little better than that to know I want to see him."

            "Oh don't worry petite, we know how much ya want te see 'im." Gambit replied, with an odd tone in his voice.

            "Just what do you mean by that Gambit?"

            "Nutin' chere, nutin'."

            "Well I'm gonna go see him." Jubilee turned and began walking away.

            "I don't think that's a great idea Jubilation." Jean said after her.

            "Why not?"

            "Well, he's been in a mood lately."

            "And that's different how? Look, I haven't seen Wolvie in almost three years, so I'm sure he will be glad to see me." She said, heading towards the danger room.

+++++++++++++++++++

            Jubilee stood outside the door of the danger room, and heard Logan in there tearing it apart. *What else is new?* she thought. *Well I guess I could go watch him up in the control room until he is done* . She heading into the control room, sat down on one of the chairs and peered out the glass window down at Logan. He was ripping apart anything that came near him, and doing a pretty good job of it. Occasionally, he would get cut, but his healing factor fixed that up mighty quick. Jubilee continued to study him. His clothes were torn to shreds, and he was sweating like crazy. His hair was disheveled, and his large muscles, flex with every movement. *Damn Wolvie looks good. I wonder what it would be like to have him.... * "Knock it off Lee" Jubilee said aloud. "Wolvie would never see you like that". *Everyone pretty much knew how I feel about Wolvie* She thought. *That he's my best friend, my mentor, and my hero. *  What they didn't know, was that after going to college, every guy she every dated she compared to Wolvie, and they all failed. That, coupled with how she longed to be with him, made her realize that she loves him. She wants to be with him. *No, I need to be with him. *

            "Simulation off" Wolverine grunted, startling Jubilee out of her train of thought.

            "Finally!" Jubilee said, as she ran out of the control room to see Wolverine. Her Wolverine.
