"Hey, SwitchBlade!" My eyes flew open to find Remy about half an inch from my face.
"Hey?! You asleep? This is Jubilee!" Crackled the intercom. I sighed and got up to answer it. "Yeah Jubilee?" Gambit waved with his fingertips and left the room.

"Damnit!" I swore under my breath. "Hey, how'd you like Gambit's face today when he saw you in that dress?" She laughed. I laughed halfheartedly. "Hey wanna come sleep over in my room?" She asked. "Um, sure!" I said. Not wanting to refuse my friend.

I packed my stuff and headed down the hall to her room. When I was safely inside her bedroom I told her about the almost kiss. "Oh man! He must like you a whole bunch!" I sighed and smiled dreamily. "He's so nice…" "And cute!" Jubilee added. We both laughed. I snuggled down on my side of the bed and told her how I had met him. I didn't tell her about Sinister though. I didn't trust anyone but Gambit with that. "Wow, Scott has to let you on the team! You're braver than Wolvie and Cyc put together!" I laughed. "Yeah right! No one as brave as Logan, or as mean as Cyclops!"
We fell asleep giggling and talking about all the guys at the school. I couldn't really remember when I'd ever had a friend like this. I loved it.







CHAPTER TEN
THE MARAUDERS MEETING PLACE, NOV 15, 1:34AM

Sabretooth pounded his fist on the wall as they were delayed another day by Sinister. "Why does he have to come anyway? I know I couldn't find the kid last time but that doesn't mean I won't this time. Can't he jus' stay in his lab while we go get that little girl? I could go alone and get a little girl! Come on, lets just go." He fumed.
"You are not going anywhere unless I say you are."
Without turning around Sabretooth knew who it was and paled slightly under his fur.
"Sabretooth, instead of you going I have decided to have someone else go. You never stop to think about the consequences of fighting Wolverine are. And you always fight him when we see the Xmen. So I will send everyone but you." Sinister's cool voice cut through the silence like a sharp knife.
Sabretooth snarled." I wan to go and kill that asshole that calls himself Wolverine. Not sending me is a stupid choice Sinister!"
Sinister smiled. "Well, I'll just have to stay and baby-sit you then. You and I will go up to my lab while the others bring me the girl."
Sabretooth shivered and shook his head.
"No, no. Please Sinister! Not the lab. I promise I won't kill Wolverine if I go! Jus' don't take me up there!"
Sinister smiled that smile that could never be mistaken as nice.
"Good."



The Gym, Nov 17, 3:45 PM

Wolverine almost smiled as he looked around at the students in the gym. All of them would be promising Xmen, if given the chance. SwitchBlade was one of the students he admired most. So, like a good teacher, he worked her the hardest of all the students.
SwitchBlade, get up that rope and get to the bars in less than thirty seconds and you can take a break." Wolverine growled.
SwitchBlade blinked. "I don't want to take a break, but thank you."
Wolverine narrowed his eyes, but underneath he was smiling. Most of his students would have scrambled up that rope right away. And never make it of course, but they would spring at the chance to get away from gym class.
But SwitchBlade had a yen to learn. To be on the Xmen like Jubilee.
She could climb the rope course faster than anyone in the class could. Maybe it was part of her mutant ability, like Gambit.
"I don't give a damn whether you want to or not Missy. Just get up there and climb those ropes in thirty seconds.
SwitchBlade gulped. She wished Jubilee were here. But she went to training with the rest of the Xmen. And no one trusted SwitchBlade in her class.
She breathed deeply and tightened her gloves.
"Well?" Wolverine barked.
She flung herself onto the ropes as she heard the timer beep. Sweat poured down her face as she hoisted herself up the ropes. The ropes burned into her hands, even when she had gloves on, and she wished Wolverine wouldn't act like she was immortal. *No.* She thought as she looked down at the space between the rope and the bars. *Not even close to immortal.* She closed her eyes and jumped.
