Summary: Completely AU fic about how Scott and Jean get their powers.
Chapter 1
Scott rubbed his head as it began to pound 'Damn- not again' he thought. Over the past month or so his head had begun to hurt more and more frequently.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw his best friend Jean was also rubbing her head. In her seat across the room she was talking to her friend Taryn, though Scott could tell her heart was not really in it. He caught her eye and winked; she fought back a giggle and turned away.
Scott and Jean had been best friends since kindergarten, when he had comforted her on their first day and ended up being more upset himself!
She was worried because her older sister had told her how horrible kindergarten was, she told Scott what she had said and Scott began to get worried too. They decided to protect each other. It turned out that kindergarten was not so scary after all, but at the end of the first day Jean had said to Scott
"Are you going to protect me for the rest of my life?"
He had replied, "Only if you protect me."
She had answered simply.
"Sure."
They had been friends ever since.
They lived round the block from each other and were fairly similar in character, if not in looks. They were fairly quiet at school, and although they were not in the 'in' crowd, they were universally liked.
Of the two Jean was the more noticeable, with her flaming red hair, she stood out easily from the other students. She found it easier to make friends than Scott, and he knew that secretly she would quite like to be popular. Her good grades came naturally compared to Scott's hard work.
Scott's more average looks often put him at the back of people's minds, and he was sure many people in his year didn't even know he existed.
The withdrawn Scott many people knew became completely different when he was with Jean. His parents had died a few years ago and he and his little brother Alex lived with foster parents. Scott forced himself to be quiet and well behaved at all times, he didn't want to be to blame for both his and Alex's loss of a home.
Jean was the only person with whom he could totally let loose and just be himself, without worrying what people were thinking about him.
It was in anticipation then that he waited after school for Jean to walk home together. 3:30 passed, and then 4:00. (A/N I hope this is around the right time for schools in the US) Scott began to get worried. As he wondered whether to go home or not he noticed Taryn coming out of school. Quickly he jogged up to her,
"Hey, Taryn, have you seen Jean, we were meant to be walking home together."
Taryn looked at him like he was a slightly annoying bug (A/N Sorry any Taryn fans but I don't like her, or Duncan either for that fact! Thinking about it does any one like them?), "Last time I saw her she was talking to Duncan outside class." Her eyes went misty as she said the name Duncan.
Scott sighed, Matthews, or Duncan was a big hit with the girls recently. His brow creased, and a worried look came into his brown eyes- Jean didn't like him, did she? He walked in to school determined to find Jean. Taryn had already left!
Short but hopefully sweet, I'm sorry for the lack of action, but much more will happen in the next chapter, this was more of a scene setting! (By the way I think Scott and Jean are probably about 12/13 in this fic.) I'm all for constructive criticism, but please don't flame my fic cos you don't like Scott and Jean.
