Marvel owns the X-men, no profit is to be made by this.
"What the fu...dge is this?" Jubilee asked staring at it.
"Woodshop project." Laura remarked.
"Is that pine?" Megan inquired.
"Spruce." Laura noted, a single sniff letting her know the differences between wood easily.
"It should have been pine." Megan stated.
"They were out of pine." Laura explained.
Throughout it all Jubilee just kept staring at it and did her best not to freak out. A Vampire freaking out was bad, not quite as bad as Logan going apeshit, but still with a captial B for Bad.
"Why is it in my room." Jubilee asked.
"The students thought it would make you feel welcome." Laura explained.
Staring at the girl she considered her true best bud, never having known someone who just clicked with her the way she did aside from Logan, Jubilee did her best to keep her cool. Then again it was no surprise Laura clicked just like Logan, they were in essence fraternal twins, clones, subjected to the same horror. Laura was like a femme fatale Logan, so it just made it all the cooler that they were buds. She was Rule Sixty Three...and suddenly all the looks many of the student body were throwing them made sense. Flattered, but she didn't bat for that team, no pun intended.
"So they made me a pine coffin in woodshop?" Jubilee asked.
"They also made stakes for themselves." Laura added.
Horrible as it was Night of the Living Mutant had already happened and as it were she wasn't so much the Bride of Dracula as his granddaughter. Most of these kids had probably figured they were safe until that b to the capital itchy backside had gotten together with their f to the chocolate caramel fudge messiah to say two words that had them off the same list as panda's and polar bears. It was insult the injury really as far she saw it, at least it had taken three words to strip her of her powers but all of a sudden with two, bam, more mutants.
"Did you want to bunk with me?" Megan asked.
"Yes please." Jubilee replied.
Between a coffin and a student body ready to get their Buffy on, Jubilee remembered just why she liked Pixie. She was everything she used to be on her good days, happy and upbeat and bubbly, with a side order of kickass hidden under her pink hair and style sense. Turning to Laura she smiled to her and wrapped her up in a hug.
"Wanna rock a sleep-over in Pixie's room?" Jubilee asked.
"Will there be S'mores?" Laura inquired.
Grinning hugely, she was half way to replying when she caught a bit of Laura's deadpan humour. What was a sleep-over without S'mores, it was one of the things she had taught her in Paris even if they had to flush the smoke detector down the crapper. Somewhere she hoped wherever Ev and Angelo were, they were having a good laugh at her expense. Rest in Peace dudes, sorry to keep you waiting but that's life under the X.

Author's Note : Just a silly little drabble in anticipation of Jubilee joining the Jean Grey School in the relaunch of the X-men title.
