Tress:Hey guys sorry it's late I've been really busy and we lost John and Jubbs freaked out so we had to hunt him down, but now they've settled down a little bit so on ward to the story!

Kitty: Tress owns nothing so no sue her she broke-

Tress:HEY! Kitty: Enjoy!^_^


Four months. That was how long it been since I first saw John since he first became my best friend and roommate. "Hey Bobby!" I glanced up to see Kitty's worried eyes staring into mine."Have you seen John? Jubilee's upset that she can't find him."

I shrugged softly not having the slightest clue where John could be well he could be lighting candy on fire and throwing it at people again. "Have you tried the danger room?" Another favorite spot of John's for obvious reasons. "Tried it. And your room me and Jubb's and every classroom." Where could he be?

"Try one of the rec rooms he's probably kicking Logan's ass at video games." Kicking butt at video games was a hobby John prided himself on and rubbed in everyone else's face whenever he could. "Good idea I didn't think of looking there and apparently neither did Jubilee."

Not even three minutes after Kitty left the door opened and revealed John standing there out of breath and looking as handsome as ever-WAIT! What the hell handsome? "Bobby you okay? You look pale,well paler then usual." I looked up at his dark eyes and I swear I nearly melted right there. John's eyes were a very soulful mix between chocolate and mocha that had a way of staring right into you.

"Yeah just nervous Christmas and all and I am going home so I'm just scared to see my parents." He smiled sympathetically in a way only John could pull off. "Do they know your a mutant?" Boy do they know. "Yeah there not as cool as they could be, but there better then most." He smiled again, but didn't seem to completely buy it. "Oh, that's good." I nodded, but found that my lungs refused to work thankfully he seemed to know that I didn't want to talk about this anymore.

I mean it's not like I'm ready to tell John about my home life, but he's still there telling of his parents and of good times, times Bobby wants to have with John. "So what you want for Christmas?" " I don't no. You?" John just shrugged and smiled before walking out.

"BOBBY!" My eyes flashed up from where John had been sitting previously to see Jubilee running at top speed towards him. "DID YOU FIND JOHN?" At the quick nod from me seemed to wash away her anger and replace it with fear.

"You're going to your parents for Christmas aren't you?" Bobby nodded his head wordlessly and refused to meet Jubilee's eyes for fear of seeing all that concern. "Yeah, but I'll be fine and I'll call you if something happens." She nodded as I left, but I could tell this wasn't the end of this talk.


"Okay do you have every thing? Underwear? Cellphone? CONDOMS!" "It's vacation not a sex fest and were thirteen!" John and Kitty snickered from there hiding corner as they had dubbed it.

"And yes we have every thing we'll be fine it's not like it's a warzone." Jubilee smiled in relief, but still seemed utterly terrified for them as always. She found herself always needing to know if he was okay and half the time he wasn't and that mad her worry more. "Yeah Bobby can look after himself Jubbs." John grinned at his sarcastic words, but maybe he was worried too?

"Okay call me if anything happens and I'll be there. Be good and have fun."Jubilee spoke with purpose and strength even though her arms shook when she hugged him."I'll be fine." Those were the last words he said before bording the bus with Kitty clutching his hand in a vice like grip that left a slight stinging in his palm. "Ready?" Bobby nodded despite the fear that was eating his gut. "Let's go."


~Ring~Ring~Rin- "Hello?" Jubilee was scared her phone had started ringing and the id had shown it was Bobby. What could have happened in three hours? "Jubbs is that you?" Bobby's soft voice filtered through the speaker, but it was to strained and tired to really be Bobby. "Yeah hunny it's me are you okay?" "Yeah fine just I hurt..." Bobby let out a soft whimper and a cracked sob showing he was crying and in pain...bad pain.

"I'll be there." She hung up after telling him to sit tight and hold on. "John can you hotwire a car we need to pick up Bobby and now." John nodded his head and trailed after her asking question after question, but she ignored his voice and led him to the garage and showing him which car to take. "Are you sure you can drive this?" John questioned queitly as he slid into the passenger seat and buckled in.

"Yeah I told him I'd be there and I will." Jubilee's voice was determind and John's eyes were worried and sad showing he did care at least a little and they were both determind to get Bobby back at all costs. "Hold on Bobby were coming."


Tress: Sorry it took so long, but I've been having family problems and writing was the last thing on my mind,but I'm back! Also a cookie to the first person who can figure out what's up with Bobby. Thank you to all the reviews which have inspired me to keep going even when I lose all feeling in my fingers. R+R Hope you enjoyed!
