Anne walked to the kitchen after an unsuccessful visit to Jubilee's
room. She stopped when she heard Jono and Bobby talking.
"So you're really tying the knot?" Bobby's
voice.
*Yup* Jono.
"Nervous?" Boy this is a boring
conversation! It's not even worth eavesdropping. Anne tuned out
until she heard Bobby ask,
"Jono, how did you know Paige was it? The
One? Miss Perfect?"
*Dunno mate. I kind of always knew that Sunshine was
the gel for me. Why? You got a gel you want to get serious
about?* Whoa! Wonder what Bobby'll say?..
"Not really." Yawn.
"It's just, when this girl came, I kinda felt my insides flip
flop." Uh oh...Bobby has a crush!
*Sounds serious. Do I know her?* Do I know
her?
"Yup." Who? Who? Who? Who?
Who? Who?
*Who mate?" Yeah WHO?
"Not saying." Crap. "You'll
find out if anything happens. Promise." This would be a good
time to enter. It'd make them nervous.
Anne walked into the kitchen, and yawned
dramatically.
"Hey guys. Talking about anything
interesting?" Bobby managed to hide his blush incredibly well and
answered.
"The usual. Bills, villains, taxes."
This brought a psionic chuckle from Jono.
*Wonder what Magneto would think if he knew you grouped him
with taxes?*
"Lets not tell him." Bobby winked at Anne,
"What about you Squirt, you gonna keep our secret?" Anne
giggled, having temporarily forgotten about the overheard conversation.
"Sure...But, I don't quite understand. Is Sinister
also grouped with taxes?"
"Yup. See Anne, its quite simple actually...Jono
explain to her." Jono would have opened his mouth in protest had he
had a mouth, instead, Bobby got a rather loud psychic outburst.
*Me! Umm, well... See gel, it goes like
this... If you don't pay your taxes, the CIA takes your house. If we
don't fight Sinister, he'll take Scott and Jean.* Bobby wrinkled his brow
in thought,
"And his taking Scott would be bad because...?"
*You'd spend all day eating and not training, and rival the
Blob in body mass mate.* Anne laughed. Life with the X-Men was
good...

Jubilee, Rogue, and Elisa walked out of the Gap just as quick
as they possibly could, leaving behind a very indignant Paige.
"All I'm saying is that I think Jono would look good in
those cargo overalls I saw! You don't have to react so awfully about
it." Paige's face tinged red at Rogue's next comment.
"Paige, Sugah, we're all aware of the fact that you and
Jono cannot keep yoah thoughts off one another, but this is a shopping trip for
us gals. Now, if yoah really good, perhaps we'll let you buy something at
Victoria's Secret for the honeymoon." Jubilee snickered,
"Paige...Jono prefers black and studded..."
This brought a laugh out of Elisa who added her two cents,
"Maybe you could also get a whip, handcuffs, cherries
-" Rogue cut her off,
"Sugah, Paige doesn't need to know yoah love life."
"WHAT!" Much to her chagrin, Elisa's face
took a bright crimson shade. She was so embarrassed that she didn't see
Jubilee stop in front of her,
"Sho-oof!" Jubilee turned to see a sheepish
looking Elisa. Rolling her eyes, all in fun though, Jubilee uttered the
age old war cry of the female, "SHOES!"

The girls emerged from the car carrying bags of clothing,
shoes and whatnot. Jubilee also had bags from Pier 1 Imports, Natural
Wonders, and Posters N' Frames. She offered the male X-Men a muffled,
"Hi," as she trudged to her room. After dumping the stuff on her
bed, she headed downstairs.
In the kitchen she found Wolverine eating a...well it was
already 9/10 of the way devoured, and she was unsure as to what it had
been. She sat in the chair next to Logan and smiled.
"Hey Wolvie!" A grunt was her only answer.
"Food good?" Another grunt. Jubilee
looked at Logan's beer on the table.
"Can I have a sip?" A growl signified the
negative answer.
"Sheesh. I'm twenty- three Wolvie. Ain't a
kid anymore." Wolverine sighed as he swallowed.
"Sorry Kid. You may be old enough to do some
things, but when beer is concerned, you're still a kid to me." She
smiled,
"Parental instinct hunh?"
"Yup." Wolverine looked at her. She
wanted something...what? "What do ya want Kid?" Jubilee
flashed him one of her trademark grins,
"A hammer...and some nails."
