Evan Daniels slid down the banister of the mansion the happiest he'd been in a while. It was finally summer and he could kiss Bayville goodbye and head on home to sweet New York City. The house was fairly quiet, but that was because almost everyone had left already. He and Bobby would be leaving tomorrow. That only left Kurt, Rogue, and the professor. Evan felt bad for them, Rogue and Kurt, that is. Kurt couldn't go home because his parents couldn't be located. And Rogue simply didn't have any family to go home to. Okay, now Evan felt really bad.

Strolling into the kitchen, he found Bobby sitting in front of a huge sundae. He walked over to the refrigerator and poured himself a glass of milk. Evan drank milk like most teenagers drank soda. Putting the milk away, he walked over to sit across from Bobby. He sighed, and Bobby looked up. "What's wrong?" he asked. "Nothing," Evan replied, taking a sip from his glass, "It's just that I was thinking about Rogue and Kurt. They don't have anywhere to go for the summer. It ain't right man." Bobby put down his spoon. "I mean, what's up with Kurt's 'rents? Isn't it summer over there too? And Rogue, poor girl ain't even got anywhere to go. Must suck not having any family. Scott is lucky. He may be an orphan, but at least he's got Alex. And he's gettn' the best vacation of all of us; chillin' in Hawaii." Evan finished the rest of his glass in one gulp. Bobby looked at his sundae, suddenly not so hungry, or happy, anymore. He frowned, which wasn't a good look for him; and stabbed the ice cream with his spoon.

He didn't like the feeling of Rogue not having any family. Family was important to him, and damn it Rogue did have family, her family was the X-men. They couldn't just abandon her. "Rogue has a family," Bobby said, somewhat bitterly, "We're her family." "Yeah, but its not the same." They both looked down at the table. "Or is it?" Evan cried, looking up, "That's it, I got it!" "What?" "Just wait here. I'll be right back!" "Evan…" "Just wait." Evan ran out of the kitchen. "Oh man this is gonna be great!" he cried. Bobby looked back at his sundae. Picking up the spoon, he shoveled some of it into his mouth. Whatever Evan's idea was, he hopped it worked.
