(next day)
Lyric awoke to the sound of someone running down the hall. She felt warm flesh agaist her cheek. She pulled away looking at Scott. Her eyes scanned the room seeing clothes everywhere. Dark lenses blocked her view of his eyes. Her hand went up to touch his goggles but a pair of hands stopped her. "How long have you been awake?" she asked.
"Long enough to watch you sleep," he kissed her forehead.
"Really?"
"Yeah, you're beutiful when you sleep," she bit her lip holding in a laugh.
She ran a line with her finger up and down his chest. "I've been meaning to ask you something."
"What is it?"
"The guys were talking about training for the X-Men. Rogue told me I should apply for it,"
"There's a big training session this afternoon. You can join if you want,"
"I think I will," she snuggled closer to him.
"You fell asleep like that,"
"Huh?"
"Last night. You were like that. Curled up next to me, head on my chest. I liked it," she smiled and lightly kissed his lips
"What time is it?"
"Eleven,"
"That late huh? I should go,"
"Do you have to?" he protested stroking her arm.
"I have to. Jean will probably be back soon. How do you think she'd react finding you in HER bed with another girl?" he groaned knowing she was right. "Maybe you should break it to her first."
"Okay,"
"Good," she crawled out of the warm bed gathering her scattered clothes and putting them on. She looked back at Scott. "You watching me?"
"Better believe it," she grinned giving him one more kiss before heading to the door. "Lyric," she stopped. "I love you."
"I love you too," and she left

"We have to go in through the back," John stated showing a map of the school.
"Why?" Toad hissed.
"Do you want to get caught? The Professor thinks you are dead. And as for Mystique well she has her ways,"
"And what about you?" Toad demanded.
"If he detects my brain waves he'll just think I'm here to see Sarah,"
"Who's Sarah?"
"An old girlfriend. This afternoon the trainees have a session. That's when we get them,"

Lyric walked into her room where Rogue was waiting cross armed. "What?" she asked heading for the dresser.
"Where were you last night young lady?"
"Why?"
" 'Cause you left at 12 and didn't come back till know,"
"I, uh, crashed on the couch?" Rogue looked at her with a 'yeah right' look plastered on her face. "Okay, I'll tell you but you have to promise not to tell anyone. You promise?"
"I swear,"
"You can't tell anyone. Not Bobby, not Jubilee, Kitty, Kurt, or Remy,"
"I won't. Girl's scouts honor," she put up the little sign.
"I was with...Scott,"
"Summers?"
"Yeah..."
"All night?"
"Yesss..."
"And I'm assuming you didn't just talk?"
"We did some talking but..Okay I know you probably think I'm some sort of whore or something-"
"No. I sensed something between you two," she grinned. "So what does Jean say?"
"She doesn't know yet. Scott's gonna tell her today,"
"So what's he like?"
"Rogue!" she laughed throughing a pillow at her. "Well I'm gonna get dressed. I've decided to go to the big session."
"That's great. I'll let you changed. Jubilee and Remy are back and we're meeting in the TV room,"
"Kay, I'll be out in a few,"

"Hey," Lyric took a seat next to Rogue who was next to Bobby.
"Good 'cause we have one more announcement," Jubilee said. "We're not having a baby. We're having twins." as before there was the responses as 'congrats' 'wonderful' and 'great'.
"Boy or girl?" Rogue asked once again.
"Both,"
"Do you have names?" Lyric asked.
"Yeah,"
"The boy is Hunter Alexander and the girl will be Delia-Lee Chase," Remy stated proudly.
"Wow," Bobby awed.
"Can you still do the training session?" Kitty questioned very concerened,
"Yeah, but in a few monthes I have to take it easy,"
"Okay guys," all turned to Scott standing behind the couch. "You ready for the test?"
