She looked down at the little courtyard from the window where she stood. She smiled with joyous tars as she gazed at the scene spread out before her. Guests were seated with smiles plastered on their faces, all dressed some shadow of navy blue with what they were going to wear in the first place. Navy blue. The theme color for the day. She laughed at the Morlocks looking all too uncomfortable being dressed up and clean in their ceremonial attire. She turned around and looked at what had been unfolding behind her. Kitty was trying to get Rahne to get rid of her pigtails, saying it wasn't formal enough. Of course, Rahne felt different. Rogue sat in the corner by herself, reading "It" by Stephen King and trying to ignore the fact she was in a dress, though it was the bridesmaid dress Kitty also wore. It was light blue with spaghetti strapped with a navy blue sash. Rogue had also dressed up with white arm length gloves. Amara and Tabitha chatted excitedly about what to do to each other's hair. Jubilee had just walked in, no doubt had just come back from…wherever the boys were.

Jean started with Rahne and Kitty first, "Let her keep her pigtails Kitty. It's how she likes it."

"But Jean," Kitty whined. "It won't look as nice."

Jean turned to Rahne, "Would you let Kitty put some small flowers around your pigtails?"

"Oh, sure!" Rahne said with her bubbly enthusiasm she was famous for.

"Great!" Now that those two were fine she moved on to Tabitha and Amara. "Decided on anything yet?"

"Amara is going to wear a French braid with little flowers entwined and I'm putting my hair in a vertical ponytail with a MASSIVE flower," Tabitha explained as she pulled out a fake flower that was indeed massive…and lime green.

"Okay then," Jean said shaking her head. Tabitha will be Tabitha.

She turned around to talk to Rogue, who had become one of her closest friends here, and was promptly run into by Jubilation, "Hey! Steady girl! No need to run into people!"

"Sorry. Just an update on the boys. Sam and Roberto are playing pool, Ray is walking around zapping people and laughing hysterically, three Jamie's are ushering people, Bobby's keeping the drinks cool for the reception due to the abnormal heat today. You'd think in October you wouldn't have to worry about 90 degree weather," Jubilation complained.

"And how's Scott?" Jean waved her hand impatiently, knowing Jubilee had left him for last to get to her.

Jubilee laughed, "Alex is trying to calm Scott down."

Jean shook her head and grinned, "How's that working out?"

"Logan's already threatened to throw him in a Level 10 danger room session twice now if he doesn't stop freaking out."

She giggled, "Sounds just like Logan."

"Yep. Well, I'm gonna go talk to Rahne. See ya later."

Jean walked over and sat near Rogue. In two years, some lives had changed and some had stayed the same. When Rogue left the X-men for a while to get a hold of herself she had joined the Brotherhood. When she had, she had…conflicted with Ms. Marvel. By Mystique refusing to allow Rogue to let go, and Rogue following orders, Ms. Marvel has no brain activity and Rogue now has super strength and flight with her absorption abilities. The poor girl can't win. Nonetheless, she acted like nothing can get to her. When she came back, she was surprised to find we had gained a few more people and that Professor Xavier accepted her back with open arms. At this moment she was so engrossed in her book it looked as if it may need to be surgically removed from her nose, "Is that another one to add to my reading list?"

Rogue smiled as she looked up at the redhead. No surgery for her, "Definitely. How long is dat list?"

"Too long," Jean grinned, shaking her head again. "I haven't exactly had much time for reading lately, with the wedding plans, college, never ending battles, and more power surges."

"I know what you mean, at least with da battles an' power surges. Though droppin' out of high school may have been my smartest move. No college for me. As for da wedding plans, sometimes I'm glad I can' touch anyone. Too much drama involved with love," she sighed as she put her book down.

"Yeah," Jean sighed dreamily. "But Scott's worth all of the drama love can throw at me."

Rogue laughed, "I'm glad I don' have him. Try to soften 'im up a li'l while you guys are on your honeymoon. He may be hot, but he's way too strict of a leader. I'd rather follow Logan's orders than his."

An involuntary pang of jealousy hit Jean, but she waved it away as fast as it would come. Of course people would think he was hot. He was wasn't he. She groaned, "Why? Why give me the world's hardest mission on my wedding day?"

"So you can start early," Rogue winked.

"Wha' bett'r way to star' early than whil' on yer honeymoon," Remy LeBeau said walking into the room like he owned the place and nothing could touch him.

Kitty walked up to him and shoved him in the chest, "Get out! You, like, don't belong in here!"

Remy glanced at Jean, "She no' my bride."

Jean laughed at Rogue's clenched fists and Remy's sardonic grin, "Kitty, can you make sure that our guests are alright? Oh, and if you can, make sure that the chef's have everything they need? And then check on the boys? It would be such a help."

Kitty perked up, "Sure Jean. I would totally like to, like, help. I'll make sure everything is totally awesome for later."

She left and Remy walked over to Rogue. Rogue swatted his hand away as it reached for her, "Watch it Swamp Breath or you'll be in de infirmary in a coma!"

He shrugged, "I'm sure worse t'ings have happened."

"Tell me about it," Rogue uttered.

Jean laughed and looked at Tabitha who was fighting with Amara's brown hair, "Hey Tabitha! It's a head of hair, not the reins on a horse!"

"Too bad. Those might be easier to work with," Tabitha said through teeth clenched in frustration.

She figured it would take them a while to finish up. Glancing back at Rogue and Remy, she found them already teasing each other and smiling. She wouldn't mess with Rogue, "Hey Jubilee. Can you do my hair?"

"Yeah! Rahne can help too?" Jubilee piped up from a little sofa in the corner.

"Sure. I want you to take a piece of hair from each side of my face, probably my bangs, and braid them around to meet at the middle of the back of my head, with those little white rose buds and daisies entwined in the hair please. Then do it again so there's two rows of flowery braids. My veil…well…we'll work on that later," she said sitting down in a chair so they could have access to her fiery red locks.

Her back was to the door so she could hear someone come in. A quick telepathic sweep of identity told her who it was. Ororo set a large bouquet of flowers in Jean's lap, "Are these flowers good enough?"

"They're perfect Storm. Thank you," Jean said as she sniffed the fragrance of the flowers as the two teenagers ran a brush through her hair.

"You are very welcome Jean. I am going to go and find Logan. I heard he wants to throw Scott in the Danger Room?"

"Yeah, that might be a good idea," Jean smiled as Ororo left to join a room filled with boys of all ages.
