Author Notes: (Lonnie Lanai) Hello everyone, this is my first attempt at
posting a fanfic, flames are welcomed but keep them in an orderly manner
such as explaining where I went wrong or perhaps giving me tips and
pointers, other wise the flames will be simply used for Marsh mellow
Roasting ^_^ But honestly, tips are always helpful and welcomed,
considering I don't have must self esteem and I'm posting this only as a
dare from my dear friend Mona.
Pairings: Its Scott and Marie for now. who knows where this story my lead.
Disclaimers: I do not own any of the X-men, although I did steal Rogue's
hair style for a while! And if the truth be told *looks over her shoulder
to make sure no one else is listening* I have Scott, Logan and Bobby locked
in my basement... MAUAHAHAHAH Ahh I'm just teasing, I don't even have a
basement. but if I did... You can bet what or who would be in there!
Honestly I'm making no money here what so ever, the only few pennies I pull
in are from my job which I don't even like.
Rating: Umm perhaps Pg-13 to start off, however... I would like to near a R
rated chapter or two later on. there isn't going to be any slash that I can
think of, but if there is I'll make sure to give warnings.
When one door of Happiness closes, we often stand there starring at the
closed door that we do not realize another one has been opened for us.
You are like the fast wind
That sweeps across the surface of the ocean
And all the dreams you have
Are always taken care of by the rays of the infinite sun
And now as I see you
Your back is turned to me but you are reaching
Pointing towards the future
Both your wings are broken
So why do you hide all your pain?
Softly let me wipe away your tears
Softly let me hold you in my arms
Softly let me comfort you
Because I want to see you in your GLORY
I'll give you. I'll give you..
If you choose to lay your head down
All the dreams that you dream will live on
I'll give you I'll give you
If you hold a heart that's true now
Then your love will return back to you.
I'll give you. my love.. Lullaby !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Prologue~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scott sat in the darkness of his bedroom, the light from the moon outside
flooding through the window. He had always been afraid of the darkness, of
being alone. Only Jean had known of his fears and her presence had helped
tap into his fear and erase it. In return, he had been her protector, the
strong hold in her life. No matter what happened, he was always strong for
her. But now, his nightmares had returned, each filled with visions of Jean
drowning under the enormous pressure of the water. These nightmares filled
his nights, leaving him unable to sleep and his life in tatters. He just
couldn't get over her. But he HAD to get over her. He wasn't good to the
team when he was like this.
It had been a few months since Jean's death. The school had took the news
hard, and just now it seemed like the students had come to terms with her
death, and putting smiles back on their faces. The staff seemed to come to
grasps with what happened. The biggest surprise was how Scott was handling
it... It was like he put a mask on everyday. Anytime someone would stare to
long at him, he would quickly offer them a smile, a smile that Marie could
see was clearly made of ashes, for there was a fire still burning within,
hot coals that would take a while to burn out, if they ever did. Her heart
reached out to him, wanting to comfort him. He lost his companion after
all, fighting the good fight. It seemed unfair and unjust. Her first
boyfriend died because she kissed him. His girlfriend died, trying to save
them.
