It had been about two weeks since I had been... initiated? I don't know, well, since I had become an X-Man... They stuck me in training sessions out the wazoo, and then gave me hours of homework a night. Me and the other people were getting along better than we had at first, but hey, that's not really saying much. I had appologized to Storm already, and she just said it was her fault, she should have thought her move through more, and she'd use that lesson in the future when it could mean her life, so I shouldn't be sorry, but I still felt bad. I appologized to Gambit, and he actually smiled and said I'd better watch my back, but the fact that he didn't look too serious was reassuring, to say the least. But I had yet to see this yellow-jacketed Jubilee girl. She had gone to visit her family the day after the session, and had only earlier today gotten back home. So, I would appologize to her today.
I approached her door and cleared my throat. I took a deep breath and began to knock on the door.
*knock knock*
Slowly the door creaked open.
"Uh, hi. Jubilee?"
"Yeah, that's me. Trent, is it?"
"Yeah. I uh, just wanted to appologize for, well, kicking your ass the other day. Forgiven?"
She grinned. "Of course! It was what you were supposed to do. No hard feelings here!"
I smiled back. "That's good." I hadn't really expected that reply. I expected more of a "I never want to see you again" response.
"So, you wanna do something sometime?" Could that *be* any more vague? I hoped she wouldn't notice.
"Yeah!" She blew a buuble with her gum, then popped it. "How about... um... the mall? Or ice skating? Or... BOWLING! I love bowling!"
"Yeah, same here. Bowling's pretty fun. Uh, when?"
"Tonight. Pick me up at 7!"
"Sure! See you then!" I smiled to myself as she closed the door. She was pretty dang hot. And I have a date with her! Alright, so it isn't really a date, but it is in my mind for now, and that's all that matters to me.
Crap! I just remembered a slight problem. I have no money. I have no car. I thought hard to myself. I have a license, but who would loan me their car and some money? I turned and ran to the Male dorm rooms at full speed.
