One-Shot
Rahne & Jubilee
Debbie Based on X-Men Evolution (Which I do no own), the
main characters in this one-shot are Rahne and Jubilee, my two
favourite X-Girls and yes I do not own them either. I hope you read
and enjoy 'Confidence Boost' It was just a quick piece I
wrote in an hour so the grammar and spelling will be way off so
please bare with me I shall get around to sending it to my editor!
Turning on her side, whilst laying on her bed, the
Scottish lass: Rahne Sinclair; codename Wolfsbane sighed. Dragging
the light green sheets that covered her body over her head of red
hair she sobbed quietly. Gladly her emerald eyes had found her two
roommates to be out at that moment; her roommates were the beautiful
Brazilian Amara Aquilla; codename Magma and the quirky
Chinese-American Jubilation Lee; codename and mostly known by
Jubilee. They were so popular and had so many people wanting to talk
to them it made Rahne sick. Why was she ignored so much? Was the
redhead doomed to spend the rest of her life going around with only
American Jamie Madrox; codename Multiple? She got along with Jamie
because of links with her foster-mother Moira MacTaggart. She found
his antics of clumsiness funny though: as he would fall only once to
cause at least four other copies of himself to appear. Though at
least she felt comfortable around him.
Yet there was one
person she would have liked to spend some time with and that was
Jubilee. They were partners in battle simulations and Jubilee had
that attitude that made everyone want to be friends so why couldn't
they be friends? Yes could it be because she was shy that she didn't
want to open up to others? Rahne pushed the heavy covers back and
spun so her feet hit the ground and she could sit properly; again she
harboured a sigh.
"Maybe this time, ah'll give it ah try."
Rahne spoke as she looked around towards the window. If there was
some way that she could manage to do this; then she was going to act
upon it and become friends and interact with the others more. If
Jubilee, Jamie, Bobby Drake: codename Iceman and Sam Guthrie;
codename Cannonball – oh who could forget Sam – could go on
joyrides together then why couldn't she attend to? Now we just
spoke of Sam… yes Rahne was now standing in front of the window;
dressed in her yellow and white stripped nightwear.
The blond
haired member of the New Mutants was passing the ball towards Bobby;
yet he was using his powers of flying at an increased speed whilst
being encased in a force field to win against Bobby. Rahne sighed
once more; he would never be interested in her; she had found a deep
crush on him from the day she had met him and the only one who she
had gotten on with – in the means of flirting – was Roberto da
Costa; codename Sunspot. Although it was obvious that he was
harbouring a crush on Amara, who wouldn't? To be honest Rahne was
feeling very down and self-depressing herself but putting herself
down wondering who would like her short red hair with its fur-like
texture? If only she was strong enough to do it. There, her eyes
blinked as she saw Jubilee fire one of her fireworks at Tabitha
Smith; codename Boom Boom. A smile finally appeared on the Scot's
lips:
"Ah'm gonna dae this." She assured herself after
getting dressed into a different outfit than usual, this outfit was
yellow and a green stripped t-shirt, blue jeans and a pair of
sandals. She started to then make her way through the Xavier mansion
and down to where the others were practising – okay so they say
that they are practising but we all know that they are
playing.
Rahne tenderly walked upon the grassy area where all
her soon to be 'friends' were playing although she only caught
the eye of the one she was hoping to speak to.
"Rahne! Come and
practise with us!" Jubilee smiled waving towards her; her long
black hair flailing behind her back as she swayed. Rahne smiled as
that sounded tempting although she couldn't possibly; what if she
made a fool of herself in front of them all? Her shadow almost merged
with Jubilee's as the fifteen year old walked closer to her. "Hey,
Rahne…what's up?"
"Ah dinnae want ta join in, but ah would
like ta talk ta ye." Rahne smiled as she rubbed her arm nervously,
yes she had noticed that her body lanuage was atrocious. Jubilee
agreed almost instantly as she dimissed herself to Bobby and walked
across the playfield with the wolf-girl following her.
"So are
you going to tell me what's up?" Yes, her friend seemed to be a
little concerned about her? Rahne considered it enough to call her a
friend as Jubilee had agreed to walk and talk with her.
"Ah've
been feeling a wee bit left oot." She spoke honestly in her strong
scottish accent.
"Aw, Rahne. You should have told me." Jubilee
said as she now knew who her friends were. "We didn't mean it…
now if I think about it I haven't talked to you in a while."
Jubilee placed her arm around Rahne's shoulder and her fingers felt
her friend's hair. "I wish I had your hair. Its really
unique."
"Ah wish ah had yer hair, mine is horrible."
Rahne spoke again putting herself down although this only earned a
laugh from Jubilee.
"Trade you for one day. Hey I'd be
Wolfsbane and you be Jubilee." Jubilee offered and that caused
Rahne to smile, her eyes creasing up at the corners so it was a
proper smile.
"No thank you, Jubilee. Ah think ah'd rather be
me." She told her with a smile.
"Come on, Storm was getting
lunch ready, you can sit next to me." Rahne would like that; this
meant she could talk to Jubilee as they ate to; at least she'd get
along with Jubilee – if she got along with Jubilee then Jubilee
could introduce her to the likes of Sam and Roberto. She knew she'd
get along with them; maybe this was the start of a beautiful
friendship…
And a confidence boost.
