Kitty didn't take my advice and she and Lance left the night I tried talking to them. Anyway Spring Break has only just begun and we here at the institute have been having fun. Jean and Scott have been sen together a lot (from my sources) and going out.

I guess the potion worked. Duncan has not been mentioned or seen since. Bonnie and Sara came over and we were hanging out by the pool, when Kurt came over to us.

"So anyway I was thinking that we could plan calling the corners Froday night?" Sara asked

"Sure, but let's make sure we have all the nessary things." I said

"Hey Jade, your Aunt is here." he said

"Sorry girls, but I'll have to let you go early. My Aunt is here and I haven't seen her in god knows how long." I said getting up of the lounge chair

"It's no problem Jubalation." Sara said getting up and walking with me toward the house.

As we all came in I saw my Aunt satnding in the door way. She seemed happy and held out her arms to me. I ran and hugged her, but then had to introduce my friends.

"Sweetie it has been so long, but whp are your friends?" she asked smiling

"These are my friends Rogue, Sara, and Bonnie. Sra and Bonnie live further down the street, but Rogue goes here to." I said

"Later Jubalation." Bonnie said walking out of the house

"Bye." I waved and turning to my Aunt.

"So I see you've been having some great times here." she continued

"What's the matter?" I asked looking concerned

"Did your powers evolve?" she asked

"Umm, yeah." I said feeling uneasy

"I had a dream about your powers evolving and you seemed so hurt." she said

"I'm fine." I smiled reassuring her

"That's good, but you know it's just a dream." she replied

Suddenly Kitty came into the house with Lance and Kirt with them. Kitty seemed so sad and Lance was just holding her. Kirt just ran to get the Prof., since I noticed he went into his office.

"I think you'd better go." I said to my Aunt hugging her

"Can I come back tomorrow? I'm staying at a hotel not far from here." she asked walking out the door

"Yea, but call me on my cell phone ok?" I asked waving

"Sure Jade." she said getting into her car

She drove off and the Prof. came out with Kirt. He looked concerned as Kitty and Lance walked over to him.

"Kitty, Lance, and Jade, please come with me." he said wheeling into his office.

We all followed him and sat down infront of his desk.

"Now, Kitty and Lance I've already heard about you situation that occured. And Kitty I know about you too." he said

"Professor, I can explain." Lance said

"Please do." he said and waited for Lance

"Kitty and I only did what we did was because we love each other. THough I didn't know that she'd end up where she is now, but it is my fault." he sighed

"It's not your fault, but we must try to figure a way to help you both. Though why didn't you come to me earlier like Jade said to?" he paused and looked at me

"I told them, but..." I paused

"We weren't sure of like what would happen if you found out." Kitty said.

"You two stay here, Jade you may go." the Professor said.

I left the room and Kitty and Lance were left to talk with the Prof. As I went up stairs I saw Rogue was listening to her Cd player.

"What are you listening to?" I asked sitting on my bed

"Linkin Park who else?" she laughed

"I had to ask didn't I." I smiled.

Suddenly my cell phone rang and I picked up...

"Jade, hey." Nick said

"Nick what's up?" I asked

"Nothing much, but Mike is here and needs to talk to Rogue." he said

"Oh, hold on." I said handing my phone to Rogue

"Hello?" Rogue said removing her headphones

"Hey beautiful." Mike said

"Hi, what's up?" she asked

"Nothing, but I was wondering if maybe you would come out wit hme on Friday for a movie and dinner to celebrate." he paused

"You did remember." she began to smile

"Yeah and I wanted to do something special." he said

"Sure, I'll be by your house ok?" she asked

"Great see you then." he hung up and Rogue handed me my phone.
