Jean ran around her room, frantic to find her favorite lavender dress. "Oh, where is that stupid thing?!" she muttered to herself in frustration. She had a date with Danny tonight. After he had called her, they went out for coffee. She found him a really nice and sweet guy, a real gentleman. Almost exactly like Scott. //Scott...// Her heart skipped a painful beat at the thought of him. She still missed him. Jean knew that the others expected her to get on with her life, but when you lose the most important person in the world to you, there is never enough time to heal.

"Kitty! Have you been borrowing my lavender dress again?" She yelled to the younger girl whose room lay across the hall.

"Yeah! What, did you, like, need it or something?" Kitty yelled back.

"Yes! I have a date with Danny tonight!" A minute later, Kitty came running through the wall, dress in hand. "Thanks," Jean said, accepting the dress gratefully.

"So, this is, like, an actual date? We are up to using the D-word now?" Jean rolled her eyes, but nodded. "Cool! Well, I'll leave you to get ready." With that, Kitty went back to her room, smiling to herself.

After the coffee date, she and Danny had talked a lot. And when school started again, Jean noticed that Danny was in almost all of her classes. So that made it easier to get to know him.

"I hope Logan didn't give you a hard time while you were waiting." She smiled up at the tall man beside her as they entered the Italian restaurant where they would be spending the evening.

"Nope. Didn't bother me a bit. I get my life threatened all the time." Jean laughed at his dry humor, and he smiled back.

They ate dinner and talked about everything under the sun, especially about Danny's background. "Well, I grew up in Colorado, and I wanted to get out of there by the time I was 18. So, I accepted a scholarship to the school that was farthest away from my town, and that college happened to be NYU."

"Cool. What about your family? Any brothers or sisters?"

"Yeah. Two little brothers and a little sister. And my parents are still happily married, even after over 25 years. How about you?"

"Hmmm... I just have a little sister and two parents."

The rest of the date progressed smoothly, and Jean began to feel like the world was all right. No one hated mutants, she didn't have to worry about the fate of the world. She was just a normal college sophomore, enjoying the company of a cute guy. And she liked that feeling.
