I don't own X-Men or any of the characters in this story (Mainly because I suck at making up characters). This is one of my favourite pairings. And there aren't enough fanfics about them. I hope you enjoy. Oh and I get writers block easily so keep the reviews coming!
It was the first day of summer in Bayville. And that doesn't mean anything for the kids at the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters. At exactly 6:30, the time students normally got up, the loud speakers sang "Everyone report to the Danger Room for a new exercise. Get suited up and ready in 10 minutes." You could swear you heard everyone in the whole institute groan at the EXACT same time. It was quite odd. But everyone did what they were told to do.
One specific person who was less than eager to do this on the first day of summer vacation was Amara Aquilla. She stumbled to her dresser to get her suit and felt a strange difference in her today. She looked in the mirror, nothing jumped at her screaming DIFFERENT, but she still felt it. She was walking down the hallway when she saw her teammate, and friend Bobby Drake.
"Good morning, Bobby." She said in a sleepy tone.
"Hey Amara, what's up?" He asked while reaching his arms as high as possible to get the ache out of his back.
"I'm just tired. I mean it's the first day of summer and we're already doing Danger Room." She replied looking at him.
"I know, but maybe they're going to tell us we don't have to do anything for the rest of the summer." Bobby reassured her and himself.
"It's nice to dream." Amara said negatively.
"So," Bobby said trying to change the subject, "Do you have any plans this summer?"
"Other than hanging out with the people here, being harassed by the Acolytes and the Brotherhood, while withering to dust? Nope, nothing planned." Amara replied with complete seriousness. But, then again it was probably going to happen that way too.
"Come on, Amara, have some hope something exciting will happen. Like maybe us, the New Recruits will finally get a mission of our own." Bobby put some serious enthusiasm in his voice it almost hurt him.
"Yea, thanks Bobby." Amara said giving him a quick hug before going through the big metal doors to the Danger Room.
All of the older mutants (including the adults) were already in the DR when Bobby and Amara came in. The rest of the younger students came in within the next two minutes.
"Okay, I guess there was actually no reason for you to get suited up because this news doesn't involve any Danger Room, but it might later." Logan said when everyone was waiting around. Some groans were heard but were cut short by Logan continuing. "The Professor is going to many conferences with Beast and Storm. So you're stuck with me." When the three adults left the room requesting they be good for Logan he started talking again. "Actually I'm leaving too. So Scott, Jean you're in charge of the small fries." He said as he was walking towards the door.
As soon as he was gone all of the New Mutants were sending evil glares at Scott and Jean. The two were being cornered by all of the mutants, even the older ones.
"Umm... do any of you want to play video games?" Scott asked casually. Jamie ran out the door muttering something about Scott being a cheater. "Okay, that was weird, and I am not a cheater." He retorted.
"We're up for video games." Ray said with Bobby, Kurt, Roberto, Evan, and Sam standing next to or behind him.
"I call first player!" Scott yelled while running to the door. You could hear a very faint voice yell 'CHEATER'... Jamie.
When all the guys were gone the girls just stood there, silent. Until Rogue said "This is fun and all but I have something I got to do." Now Jean, Kitty, Amara, Jubes, and Rahne were left staring at each other. And by that I mean all of them staring at Jean. While Jean just looking like she was about to run, twiddled her thumbs and whistled a familiar tune that no one could put their finger on. Kitty jumped through a wall and never came back.
"Is anyone up for shopping?" Jean asked nervously. She saw two of the three eyes widen when she said that. Rahne and Jubes were close to jumping up and down they were so excited, "Okay," Jean started, "let's go." They followed her and Amara was left alone. She really did want to go shopping; she just wasn't in the mood.
Amara went up to her room and changed into her favourite jeans and tank-top. Grabbed the book she was reading (for fun) and headed towards the Rec. Room.
"No way had you scored that high!" Was the first thing she heard when she walked in the crowded room. Roberto was complaining to Ray about his Rock Band score. Really, we're starting this already? Amara asked herself. She sat on the only open seat left, next to Sam on the couch. Sam was just sitting there watching the fight between the two.
"Are you enjoying this, Sam?" Amara asked finally after he started laughing.
Sam just nodded his head. His face was red from laughing to hard and too frequently. He finally looked at her. He noticed she had a book. "You are aware you're on summer vacation, right?" he asked her still laughing. Bobby was trying to break up the fight that actually started getting more violent than yelling. Scott was just sitting watching.
"Yea, why do you ask that?" She returned with another question.
"You have a book." He stated simply.
"I'm aware, Sam. I like reading, it is fun to me." Amara answered. There was a sudden pause of the fighting. She noticed they were staring at her. "What?!" Amara asked kind of scared of the answer. She was afraid she got dressed wrong or something.
"You said you liked reading..." Ray said shocked.
"Yeah... your point is?" Amara questioned them.
"Here," Bobby said sitting on the arm of the couch, "we will help you come to your senses." He put his arm around Amara.
