I don't own any of the X men.

Sam had just exited the professor's office when he saw Rhane coming down the stairs from the dormitory. His body began to heat up in embarrassment as it often did when he saw the girl enter a room. He had gotten picked on by the other mutants because she was so small and he was at least a foot taller than she was. Many of them didn't think they were a good match since he was a bit shier than his abrasive counterpart. But her aggressiveness never had rubbed him in the wrong way, he found it quite liberating when he was with her, whether she knew it or not.
"Uh, hey Rhane." Rhane stopped running down the stairs and walked over to him touching his arm in greeting.
"Hi Sam, how ya doin'?" Sam's face broke out in a shy smile.
"Fine and you?"
"I'm doin' pretty well. Considerin'." Her face was forlorn.
"Considerin' what?"
"Well, ya see, I have a problem right now and I don't know how I'll be dealin' wit it." Sam nodded not pressing her with questions. "What are ya doin' in front of the Professors office?"
"My sister will be comin' ta visit in a week."
"Neat, how old is she?"
"She's about your age."
"Cool, ya send her right over to my room, she can stay with me, I wanna know all your dirty secrets." Rhane winked and laughed when a blush spread over his face.
"Sure, ah'll let her know." Rhane walked away intent on doing whatever she was going to do before he had interrupted her. After a few minutes his heart returned to its normal beating. He couldn't wait till the next week, if they got along well enough, he'd have more reason to be together with Rhane, not that he didn't want to see his sister as well. But this sure helped.

Ashley Guthrie ran over to her brother as soon as she saw his tall, lanky form in the crowd. She was almost an exact replica of her brother except she was petite. Logan sighed when he heard them begin talking a mile a minute. His sensitive hearing picked up something interesting and that was the only time that he eavesdropped in their conversation.
"So Sam, how're things goin' with that girl ya told me about?" Ashley whispered. Sam looked up but noticed Logan was busy glaring at the car in front of them.
"Nothin' at all. Ah'm kinda hopin' you would help out on that." Ashley smiled. She rubbed her hands together and Sam blushed sheepishly. He felt weird having to ask his little sister for help on his love life, but he knew he wouldn't be better off on his own.
"She's my age right?" Sam nodded his head and drifted off to his thoughts. Ashley rolled her eyes knowing he was thinking about Rhane and wouldn't come back for a long time, she moved to the front seat of the van where she spoke to Logan as Sam went to la la land. "Ah know you heard our conversation."
"No I didn't." Logan growled.
"Yes ya did, your ears seemed ta almost stand on end, but don't worry as long as ya don't say anything ah won't kill you." Logan saw the determined look on the blonde's face and almost fell off his seat. He couldn't believe that the girl had the audacity to speak to the Wolverine like that. He remained silent.

"Hey, ya must be Ashley?" Ashley smiled at Rhane. She knew who she was by the thorough descriptions Sam had given her in his weekly letters home.
"Ah know you're Rhane. Ah've been dyin' ta meet you." Rhane smiled at her warmly, feeling a connection between them.
"You'll be stayin' wit me, lass. We'll have a fun time. I have the room to meself since my roommate is at her parents." Ashley waved at her brother and he stood downstairs with a sappy smile on his face, still holding his sisters luggage.
Logan stopped walking and stood beside Sam who was still smiling. "Ya look stupid kid; girls aren't attracted to hill billys." Sam's smile left. He thought of his mullet hair and his dorky clothes. "Now if ya want I'll teach ya how to be a man, like me!"
"That would be nice, Mr. Logan." Sam's face beamed.
"We'll begin our lessons tomorrow." Logan left and Sam smiled, he couldn't wait till the next day.
