It was now the month of December and Ember's prediction of Bobby's feelings came true. Once Jubilee moved into the mansion Bobby started hanging around her more, and Ember and Bobby relationship stayed as friends.


Ember, Rogue, Jubilee, Bobby, Kurt and Kitty were out sledding and building snowmen. They wanted to have a huge snowfight throughout the whole school like they sometimes did but Jean and Scott had to go pick Scott's brother Alex up from the airport.


The group was getting ready to go in and they were heading up to the mansion when Ember saw Logan walking around out in the woods. Using her slight telepathic powers she threw a huge snowball at Logan. Bobby was laughing hard when Logan looked to see who did it.


"Ya think that was funny bub," Logan growled as he started to chase Bobby. Bobby took off running trying to hide from Logan. When the group got closer to the mansion they saw Bobby walking out from a patch of trees. He was covered in snow from head to foot.


"What Bobby, did you like turn into a snowman to hide from like Logan?" Kitty asked as her and everyone was snickering.


"No," Bobby muttered. "Logan caught up with me and shoved snow into my shirt and buried me in it."


At this everyone started bursting into laughter. Ember was laughing the hardest because she knew that Bobby didn't even do anything to Logan. When Bobby saw this Bobby threatened to freeze her. Ember started running from Bobby and had to keep looking back to concentrate on melting the ice attempts when she ran smack into something hard.


The two fell over into the snow. Ember started getting up after her face was in the snow when she saw the blonde boy sitting next to her.


"Um, Ah'm sawry. Ah shoul 'ave watched where Ah was going," Ember stated as she got up out fo the snow and started brushing it off her jacket.


"Ember," Scott as he leneded a hand to Alex and Jean started picking up the two suitcases that fell. "Ember this is my brother Alex. He's staying here for Christmas break... I'm hoping to get him to stay longer," Scott nudged and winked at Alex at this.


"Come on you two, it's cold out here," Jean stated as she opened the door with her powers and carried the two suitcases in. Scott quickly followed her inside leaving Alex outside with the rest of the group.


"Hi everyone," Alex said. Everyone could sense his discomfort.


"Hey," Ember replied and took a step up to Alex. "This is Rogue, Bobby, Kitty, Kurt, and Jubilee." Ember pointed to each person as she introduced them to Alex.


"Hi, like we were about to lik e go in and watch some movies and have some like hot chocolate. Would you like to go with us?" asked Kitty.


"Sure, that'ld be great," replied Alex who stepped into the group next to Ember as they all walked into the mansion.

(Christmas)


Christmas was a great day in the mansion. Jube was excited with her bright yellow butterfly chair and Kitty was ecstatic with a pair of pajamas that had "Princess" written all over them.


Ember and Scott recieved one of the best presents of all though. They found out that Alex had decided tostay at the mansion. Even though he told them he would miss the surfing he had family and close friends now in New York.

Sorry it took me so long to write another chapter. School doesn't leave me anytime... that's why I love Christmas break. I have a question about something though. In the old cartoon and in the comics the room that the X-Men had their meetings was called the "War Room" wasn't it? Not sure. Thanks for the help.

Please review!
