Eternal Happiness

Prologue

In the year 700 B.C. a very powerful mutant existed. He lived very far, in an unknown land. In a land where no one returned from. The legend only lives because of a message sent by the ruler of this land. This mutant is said to still be living until this day because of the eternal happiness this land brings. No death, no stress, no worries.

This mutant has an unknown power. No one knows what his name is or what he can do or is capable of doing. People continue living their daily lives oblivious of this place that is said to be the place where eternal happiness lives. It was said that it lies light-years away from Earth. Far away……………

*********************************************************************

"……and that's the story of the all powerful mutant that will lead us to eternal happiness," Scott said brushing his chestnut colored hair away from his cream-colored face. Jean looked at him intently. She tried to see if he was making it up by looking at his eyes, but that was impossible. For he wore red sunglasses everyday because of his mutant power.

"Yeah, who made that up? The Loserhood?" Evan asked as he put his hand on his golden head and held up a loser sign with his fingers. He gave Kurt a high five. Evan's ebony skin glistened in the warm sun outside of the school building on the picnic table where they always sat to eat lunch.

"Hey, ah spent some tahm with the Brotherhood before ah joined the X-men and ah know they're not smart enough to make up something like that," Rogue said as she put her chin in her gloved hands. Kitty started giggling even though she had a thing for one of them. Rogue rolled her eyes at Kitty's perkiness. She acted like she didn't like it but beneath that rebellious exterior she knew she couldn't live without her or any of the other X-men. They were each other's family. "Kitty!" Rogue shrieked as she flicked Kitty's light brown hair that was in a high ponytail away. She tried to get a piece of white hair from the front of her head out of her mouth. Rogue smiled.

Jean rolled her eyes at the story. She was the only logical one here. "Guys, these stories are just made up to creep people out and make them feel like the world we live in now is not enough," Jean said pulling her long red hair back. She looked at Scott with her glittering green eyes as a sign to quit making the younger kids believe something that isn't true.

"Jeez Jean! You don't have to be like so logical," Kitty said as she chewed down on her bologna sandwich. "Sometimes it's nice to believe in the unbelievable. Right Kurt?"

"Huh? Oh, ja Kitty," Kurt said.

"Kurt!" Kitty said slapping his hand because it was in her chips. That was the reason he wasn't paying any attention to her. Everyone laughed as Kurt shrugged. "You're like not even listening to me!"

"I heard you Kitty. I mean ve are mutants and nobody knovs about us, ja," Kurt said as Scott nodded to Jean.

Jean smiled and rolled her eyes. "Anyways, what are you going to do for Mr. Jacobson's report, it is for every grade. For everyone who has him, which is all of us," she said looking at everyone's dreadful faces. Was she the only one who enjoyed school?

"Jean, or Mrs. Perfect, no one but you cares about Mr. Jacobson's report on what our favorite thing in the world is," Rogue said annoyed.

"Yeah like that is so second grade!" Kitty said with a giggle.

"Ah, my favorite thing in the vorld is you guys, the X-men, my family," Kurt said giving Kitty a little hug as she playfully pushed him away.

"Thanks Kurt. But it has to be a thing, not people. And we have to make a whole report about it," Scott said.

"Oh," Kurt said as he suddenly turned to his black hair pale skin to his normal blue, furry self. "Oops…"

"Kurt! You can't keep doing this!" Scott exclaimed as he touched Kurt's watch back to normal. "This is school. If someone saw you…"

"I knov, I knov," Kurt said. "They'll treat me like a freak. I just vish that it didn't have to be like that sometimes."

"I know," Scott said as the bell rang. Everyone got up and walked with the crowd of high school students to class. "Jean, wait up!" Scott exclaimed as he caught up with the tall, red headed, care-free girl he's known all his life. "What are you doing after school today?"

"Oh, Duncan was going to take me to……" Jean said as Scott stopped in his tracks at the mention of Duncan. "I'm not doing anything this afternoon. What did you have in mind?"

Scott smiled when he knew Jean changed her mind about hanging out with Duncan and decided to go with him. Her best buddy. That's all they were. "I was thinking, since we don't have training sessions with Logan right after school, we could go to this place," Scott said, a little bashful.

"It's a surprise," Scott said as they headed for class. Class went by quickly and so did the rest of the school day. When the last bell rang everyone raced out of their classes and Scott waited for Jean beside his red convertible in the school parking lot. Everyone else had to get their own ride today because him and Jean were going to spend the day alone, together.

"Hi," Jean said as she got in the passenger seat and put her seat belt on. "So where are we going on this beautiful sunny day?"

"How would you like to go to the carnival across town?" Scott asked as Jean smiled and they drove off with the wind blowing in the right direction.

*****************************

"Like they completely ditched us!" Kitty said to Kurt who was inches from her face.

"Ja Kitty. That is vhy ve are following them and hiding in ze back seat of their car," Kurt said as he moved his foot off of Kitty's leg. When they saw Jean and Scott get in the car and drive off without them they knew that they were up to something. So they teleported to the back seat of the car to follow them and see what they were up to.

The car came to a stop and Kitty and Kurt looked at each other excitedly. "I smell popcorn," Kurt said as they teleported out of the back seat.

"Kurt!" Kitty yelled as they teleported right outside of the car.

"Sorry, I vas so excited about popcorn zat I forgot vhere I vas teleporting to," Kurt said as Jean and Scott glared at them. "Eh…hello."

"Kurt! Kitty!" Scott exclaimed as he got out of the car.

"Why did you follow us?" Jean asked as they looked dumbfounded. "Why can't you just mind your own business?"

"Well, who comes to a carnival and doesn't like tell their friends?!" Kitty asked firing back.

Scott and Jean looked at each other with guilt. Scott knew he just wanted to spend some alone time with Jean but it would be fun to have the gang along. "What about Evan and Rogue?"

"I'll go get them," Kurt said as he teleported out of the carnival's parking lot.

"Thanks you guys," Kitty said smiling. "I'll wait for Kurt right here. You two can go ahead."

Scott smiled knowing that maybe they could be alone. They walked and stopped at what looked like an interesting game.

"Step up and play 'guess the place'," the man with a face that was painted with stars said. He was looking directly at Jean and Scott. The man pointed his finger to Jean and Scott to step up. Scott looked at Jean and signaled for them to go. Jean nodded and walked up with him.

"So what do we have to do?" Scott asked as the man smiled. He never lost his wide smile on his painted face. His hair didn't show because he wore a moon hat that covered the top of his whole head. He wore a shirt that said dreams and his pants were dotted with stars. He stared at Jean and Scott as if he knows who and what they were. It looked as if he felt it.

"All you have to do is tell me what one of your favorite thing is and I ask you a question about it," the man said containing his smile. "The question will be the same for everyone."

"Alright," Jean said smiling at the man's friendliness. "My favorite thing is chocolate."

"Mine is cars," Scott said looking at Jean who let out a giggle.

"Ok, where did chocolate come from?" asked the man looking at her intently.

"Uh, Belgian," Jean said pretty confident in her answer.

The man remained quiet and didn't tell her if her answer was right or wrong. "You, where was the first car made?"

"I'm pretty sure they were made in America," Scott said as the man looked at them.

"I'm sorry but both of you are wrong," the man said with a smile as they looked at him strangely. Jean knitted her eyebrows and looked off into space. What had she heard from his mind?

"What is the answer?" Scott asked eyeing Jean who was acting normal now.

"The correct answer is Empyrean," the man said as Jean took his hand and they walked away.

"Jean, were you okay back there?" Scott asked with concern.

"I saw the place he was talking about. It's beautiful," Jean said. "Do you know where this place is? I'd like to visit it somewhere."

"No. You know what it means? It's another word for Heaven," Scott said as they looked at each other differently. They ignored it and decided to ask the professor where it was located later on today. For now they were going to have fun.

"Logan?" Jean asked as she went over to Logan. "Storm?"

Scott looked at Logan and Storm playing a carnival game. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh hello," Storm said politely with her African accent as Logan turned to look at them.

"What do you mean what are we doing here?" Logan asked gruffly. "We can't have fun?" Scott and Jean let out a laugh and were so glad Logan was feeling good today. So the training sessions wouldn't be hard.

"Hey Mr. tough guy," an annoying voice called from behind. "Why don't you try to dunk me, if you think you're strong enough. I bet the two girls with you can dunk me faster than you. What, you scared?"

"Logan turned around and looked at the annoying clown. He paid and took the ball and missed the circle.

"You're so weak!" the clown spat in annoyance.

Logan swung his hands and aimed for the circle. It almost missed when Jean steadied the ball with her powers and it hit the circle and dunked the clown. Logan didn't realize she had done that and made a satisfied face. "At least I'm not the one who's wet," he said as they all laughed.

*******************************

"Like what's up with people asking us what we like most?" Kitty asked everyone who was sitting in the living room.

"Yeah, there was this person at the carnival who asked us what we liked and just started handing things out. She said that you can never find things like this here. She said they were from this place called Empyrean. It was good candy though," Evan said all at once as Beast said to slow down and the professor held up his hands calmly.

"Creepy," Rogue said as she shivered. "He was really friendly though."

"I've never heard of this place," Professor Xavier said as he strolled up on his wheelchair.

"That's weird because the man we were telling you about said that chocolate and cars came from the same place," Scott said looking at Jean who nodded.

"I even saw it in my head," Jean said. "It's beautiful."

"Like how cool," Kitty said as her eyes turned into stars.

"Hey, vhy don't ve go vacation there?" Kurt asked as they all laughed.

"I'll do some research on the computer and see where this place is located," Professor X said as they all were reassured. "I'm sure it's somewhere far away. Perfect place for Spring break."

Everyone cheered and exchanged high fives. They would be vacationing in a perfect place with everyone they loved. No worries, no stress. That would be the perfect vacation.
