AN: Hey everybody! Slickboy444 here, and here is the next part to my Scott/Jean saga. Just to remind you all, this is my big Scott/Jean fic of my X-men saga. I apreciate all the reviews that have been submitted thus far and I thank you all. Remember to send all your thoughts on my stories to slickboy444@aol.com. Remember, I don't own X-men Evolution or Zelda and I also don't own any of the music I may mention later in the story. That being said I hope you all enjoy my fic and best wishes to you all!
All my x-men evolution fics are dedicated to Jen (aka: littlesortaredheadedgirl) the author of the x-men evolution fic "Snow." I highly recommend you all read it. Because of that fic I intend to add Scott/Jean material later on in this series.
AN: 'These mean character thoughts.'
It had been a full day since Scott had a little talk with Jack about Jean Grey. Today was the day he was to ask her out like Jack had told him. Scott was wandering through the corridors throughout the mansion searching for her. His search ended in front of Jean's room. He stood in front of it, paralyzed.
Scott just kept thinking 'I don't think I can do this.'
But then he remembered the words of wisdom Jack had told him. "The heart knows what's truly right and when the mind won't listen, one is truly a weak soul." Upon remembering those words he knocked on her door. Jean was currently reading a book for school. She used her telekinesis to let her visitor in.
Jean looked up to greet her best friend "Hey Scott! What's up?"
Scott took a deep breath. He didn't plan to just straight up and ask her, so he planned to improvise a bit.
Scott started, "Hey, I just came by to talk about Jack."
Jean closed her book and sat up, "Well, what about him?"
"You think his first day at Bayville went okay?"
"Well, he seemed to like it."
"Do you think the rest of the school will accept him?" Scott asked.
Jean quickly reassured him "I wouldn't worry about that. Some girlfriends of mine are already pining over him."
Scott laughed slightly at that. He knew that was a good sign.
Jean looked at him curiously, "Why are you so concerned?"
"Well, it's just that we all had a little problem gaining acceptance early on when we started. I knew I wasn't looked upon very friendly when I first came," Scott spoke to her in a serious manner.
"Come on Scott, don't say that. At least we had each other for support."
Scott felt a bit better after hearing that, "Yeah...We did."
Just then Scott took a brief moment and looked deeply in to her eyes. He looked deeply in to her soft gaze. He felt an odd feeling. He began to feel butterflies in his stomach, but he saw something. He saw something in her eyes he hadn't seen before. It was...Comforting. He sensed she was feeling something like it too while he looked in to her eyes. He could see it in her warm smile towards him. He then felt that maybe she was the only one truly meant for him. He just couldn't see himself whole without her. He had to face it, she was his other half that completed his soul. There was a prolonged silence between them, but for some reason neither of them noticed or cared. However, Scott noticed it before Jean could.
"Well, thanks Jean. I'll let you finish reading," Scott said with a smile.
Jean snapped back to reality after that. She almost forgot she was reading in the first place.
Jean smiled back at him "Anytime Scott...Anytime."
Scott was getting up and starting to leave, but all of the sudden he stopped and turned around. He never felt so nervous in his whole life. Jean heard some of his thoughts, but it was a jumbled mess for some reason.
Scott felt that it was now or never "Jean..."
"Yeah?"
Scott took a deep breath, "Will you go out with me? On a date?"
Jean felt as if she was just hit by lightning. She was paralyzed.
She looked back up at Scott in a dazed manner, "What?" Jean just couldn't believe what she had just heard.
Scott responded as calmly as he could, "On a date...A real one. This Friday at 8."
Jean couldn't believe what she was hearing.
'This is a dream....It has to be,' she kept thinking that over and over again.
Jean was paralyzed again. She didn't know what to say. She wasn't expecting this at all. Suddenly she blurted out her answer.
"Okay." It was all she could manage.
"Great, I'll let you get some sleep now. Good night." Scott began to leave the room.
Jean looked right back at him, "G...Good night, Scott."
After that he left. He still felt queasy from the whole experience. He didn't know if this was real. He didn't expect her to say yes even after he looked her in the eye and saw her true spirit.
'Wow, she said yes. She said...Yes.' Scott just couldn't believe it.
Those words kept going through his mind over and over again as he made his way to his room with a big smile on his face. Jean on the other hand was still dazed. Scott Summers, her best and most trusted friend, asked her out on a date. And she said yes. She had always had a special bond with Scott; they had known each other for years. There was nobody she had more love for in the world. She had thought about dating Scott before, but she thought he wasn't interested. After Duncan, she felt that was confirmed when he started seeing Taryn. She knew she was jealous, but when he broke up with her for reasons unknown she felt very relieved. Dating Scott had always occupied her mind because she knew they had so much in common. They both were comfortable talking to each other and they both trusted one another with their lives. Suddenly, she realized something. Maybe this was the way it was meant to be. When she thought about it, she couldn't see herself with anybody else other than Scott. She really couldn't.
The next morning Jean went to find Jack for some advice on the previous night. She hadn't gotten a single minute of sleep the previous night. She just kept playing what happened over and over again in her head. Her search lead her to the main gym area where she found Jack practicing fighting moves. She approached him, hoping he had some useful advice.
"Hey Jean, What's up?" said Jack acknowledging her presence.
Jack looked over at her and noticed that she seemed a bit stressed. He smiled to himself knowing what probably caused it. Still, he didn't want to let her know he had influenced Scott.
"You look like you didn't sleep much last night. Anything troubling you?" asked Jack.
Jean walked up to him, she was still so uneasy after the events of the last 12 hours. "Yeah, I had an interesting night."
"What do you mean by that?" even though Jack knew what she probably meant.
Jean took a deep breath, "Last night, out of nowhere, Scott came up to me."
"Well, that's nothing new," said Jack.
"It wasn't at first, but then something...Strange happened before he left." She paused briefly, she still couldn't really believe it. "He just up and said, 'Will you go out with me.'"
Jack looked concerned on the outside, but on the inside he was saying to himself 'Way to go Scott.' "Well, what did you say?"
"I said okay," said Jean.
Jack let out a slight laugh.
Jean felt angered towards this, for she felt he didn't understand the gravity of the situation. "Hey! What's so funny?"
Jack calmed down, but still had a smirk on his face. "Scott asked you out...And you said yes. Where's the problem?"
Jean shot Jack a strange look. "Where's the problem?!" She then started to get a tad bit eccentric. "What do you mean?! Scott, out of nowhere, just walks up to me and asks me out on date!"
Jack remained adamant, "I'm still waiting to be shocked."
Jean took a deep breath in frustration. "Look, I know you're new here and maybe you don't get it, but Scott and I are best friends. Dating has never come up."
Jack still spoke in a humored tone, knowing Jean was still a befuddled he tried to ease her concerns. "So...You don't want to date Scott?"
"Yes...I mean NO! I mean..." She just stopped there. Jean couldn't continue her train of thought. Once again she sighed. "I don't know. I really don't. I've always felt a close bond to Scott. He's always been there for me, but I had no idea he was interested in me...You know, romantically."
Jack lost it there. He started laughing uncontrollably, much to Jean's confusion. He looked like he was going to bust a gut, but he calmed down enough to make his point. "Jean, I know I'm new here and I haven't gotten to know the entire institute. But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to notice something between you two. If you say you didn't know, then you're probably the only one in this whole institute. Have you honestly thought about it? Have you actually listened to yourself? Just answer me this, do you really like Scott more than a friend?"
She was about to answer, but then Jack looked at her skeptically. It looked to her like he wouldn't let her lie. "Okay, yes maybe I do like him a lot more than just a friend. But you better not tell him!"
Jack quickly reassured her, "Calm down Jean, if there's one thing mutants know how to do, it's keep a secret."
Jean couldn't help but laugh at that. Jack could tell she felt a little better after this conversation. But then she spoke nervously once again, "It's just that...I don't know how to...You know...Make it work. Because I really want it to."
Jean felt saddened after saying that. Jack then switched to a more serious tone, "Look Jean, maybe I'm not the one you should be talking to this about. But I do know one thing though; Scott cares about you more than anything in this entire universe. Don't you think he should know you care for him the same way?"
Jean felt a little better when he put it that way. He really knew how to sum up her feelings in a nutshell. It was pretty impressive for a new guy. "Thanks Jack. I really appreciate it." She began to walk off after that, but there was still one last question troubling Jack.
"Just answer me one last question," asked Jack.
"Sure, what?"
"Of all the other people in this mansion...Why on earth did you come to me?"
Jean showed a subtle smile. "Maybe because, everybody else would have teased me about it and you would have been the most up front about it."
Jack responded, "What makes you say that?"
"Have you forgotten you're talking to a psychic?" After that she left leaving Jack slightly dumbfounded.
Scott was outside washing his car, he still felt amazed after what happened last night. It wasn't just that Jean said yes, it was that he actually asked her in the first place. Just then he noticed Jean coming up to him. He panicked slightly, but he tired to stay calm. However, this was easier said then done.
He took a deep breath, "Hey Jean, look about last night, I..."
Jean didn't let him finish. "Wait Scott, I have a feeling I know what you're gonna say, so let me speak first."
Scott stopped and listened intently. He began to feel that queasy feeling again, not knowing what she was going to say.
Jean walked up to him to calm him down. "I know you may feel regret for asking me out, but I want you to know that I think this is right."
Scott felt a bit surprised, but he was more relieved than anything else. Jean continued, "I think we should see where this goes. I think it could truly be for the best. You know I've always cared for you and now I know you've always felt the same."
Scott felt better after hearing those words. He gently put his hand on her shoulder, "It's just that, I don't want to make things complicated between us."
Jean smiled back at Scott, thanking him for his sweet concerns. It got him to smile back. "Well then, we'll just have to keep it simple."
It was so easy, yet so hard, but each of them knew they were worth it. As Jean left to let Scott finish what he was doing they both kept thinking the same thought.
'This is truly the way it was meant to be between us. It truly is.'
