Here's the deal:  I finally took the leap and registered to be able to submit stories.  Now I have a bad case of writers block.  I really didn't want my first fic to have an oc but I thought it might make it easier to write and help keep me from messin' up the other characters too badly.  After reading what I have so far you'll see that my story bounces around and the character seems to have too many possible love interest.  My goal was to have her end up with Sam, but I got lost along the way.  It would have been easier to just write it as if they were already together or something, but I was trying to kind of introduce her to the readers.  I need some direction and would very much appreciate y'all's help.  Please read the following and review with pointers.  If you think I should trash it and start from the beginning, I'd understand.  (Any hope of becoming a writer is flyin' out the window ;_;)

Disclaimer:   Sadly I don't own the X-Men.  It would be great if I did, but unfortunately life didn't work out that way.  (Oh, I do own Star though.)

The workout room was empty with the exception of one girl.  She was about 5' 5" and very curvy, broad hips and shoulders and very filled out in the front.  Her hair was long and dark, naturally mixed shades of brown and black.  She had a tinted complexion from various nationalities in her background.  She had wide dark brown almonds shaped eyes and full almost red lips.  Her name was Star and she had been living at the institute for a few months now.  It took a little while but she has warmed up to just about everyone.

"Usually no ones in here at this time of day," Logan said as he walked in and joined her.

"Too self-conscious to work out in front of a lot of people," Star replied as she threw a few more punches at the punching bag before stopping.

"Don't go on my account,"

"I should really go get cleaned up.   I'm supposed to be going to the movies with some of the others in an hour."

"Too bad company would have been nice for a change,"

"How 'bout tomorrow?  Around this time?"

"Sounds fine," he smiled at her.

"Okay," she waved bye and left to go get ready.

Logan's really more of a loner, but Star's a nice girl and a good fighter and he doesn't mind having her around.  She gets along well with him and prefers his company over a lot of the others.

Bobby, Jubilee, Sam, Ray, Tabitha, Jamie, and Star walked into the theater after buying their tickets and visiting the concession stand.  They were all going to see some action/comedy show that was supposed to be good.

"Hey guys!" a voice came from the row of seats they were passing.  It was Kitty.  She and Lance were on a date.  "I didn't know you were like coming to this movie."

"Well the guy's here threw a fit about not wanting to see a chick flick," Jubilee said pointing her thumb at the boys beside her.

"There was no way we were going to sit through some boring movie, where the only thing you see is some lady crying over some guy that she ends up with him in the end." Bobby said rolling his eyes at the thought.

"I wasn't 'bout to sit through that either," Star added happy with the movie everyone had agreed upon.  "Lance would have probably loved it though."  She was friends with pretty much the whole Brotherhood, especially Lance.

"Kitty couldn't drag me into one!" he replied.  "But I bet you could get Pietro to see one,"

"Please!  And torture myself, I don't think so!"

"Let's snag those seats before someone else does!" Tabby said pointing a few rolls up.

"See ya!"  They left the happy couple and got the seats.

Bobby and Jubes were next to each other as well as Tabby and Ray.  Star somehow got stuck between Jamie and Sam.  She usually had at least one seat next to her empty, because she's a bit nervous around people and it can cause her to feel like she's having an anxiety attack.

"So what's the deal with you and Speedy?" Tabby asked leaning forward so she could see past Bobby and Sam.

"We're just friends.  That egomaniac is in no way a good boyfriend."

"Speaking from experience?" Tabby asked as the lights dimmed.

Star just smiled then turned her attention to the screen as the previews started.

A/N:  See I told ya it was bad.  (If I didn't I meant to.)  I wanted her to have had past relationships with some of the guys, like Pietro.  (John, Alex, Warren, and Remy too, but…)  I didn't know how to say or show all of this with out completely focusing the story on her.  If I knew someone would read it, I'd make something that explains her better.  PLEASE HELP!!  I don't want to give up on writing, I enjoy it, but for some reason I've started to lose what little ability I had to write something someone would want to read.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope it didn't waste too much of your time.

Thanks again.  And please review.
