Jean entered the rec room the next morning to find Ben, Bobby, Kurt, and Evan playing Mario Kart 64 with Scott and Rogue sitting on the couch waiting for their turns. Evan was playing as Wario, Bobby as Bowser, Kurt as Yoshi, and Ben as Mario.
Jean watched them play until her eyes fell on Ben himself. She found her heart beat going faster. *Just take a deep breath, Jean. It's only Ben.* She took a deep breath and sat down on the right end of the couch since Scott was on the left with Rogue beside him and his arm around her. Jean suddenly was jealous of Rogue, not because she had Scott, but because she had a boyfriend who loved her and treated her with respect.
Rogue noticed Jean was there. "Hey guys, Jean is here."
"She can be Peach," Bobby said.
"Or Princess Toadstool as she's also called," Ben informed.
"So who are is everyone playing as?" Jean asked.
"Bobby is playing as Bowser, the Turtle guy. Evan is Wario, the plumber in yellow. Kurt is Yoshi, the green dinosaur, Ben is Mario, Rogue is playing as Toad, and I'm playing as Luigi." Scott said. "The winner of each race forfeits their controller and the newest person in gets to choose the course."
Ben lost and Rogue took his place. She switch to Toad and then chose the course. As the race began Ben looked at Jean. He had wanted to ask Jean out but wasn't sure if she'd say yes or not. Also considering his track record with women it wasn't going to be easy. He had never been able to get the words out before, ever.
"Um, Jean can I talk to you out in the hall?" Ben was surprised he could get that out.
"Sure." *Oh my gosh. What could he want to tell me? Is he going to ask me out?* Jean got up and followed him out. Once there Ben stopped and looked nervous as heck. *He's as nervous as I am.* That made Jean relax a bit the same with Ben when he saw she was nervous too.
"Jean I was wondering if…um if….ifyou'dliketogoseeamovie?" He had asked it so quickly Jean had to think a moment.
"W-w-what did you say?"
Ben gulped and took a deep breath. "I asked if you wanted to go see a movie." He said it very slowly this time. His heartbeat was racing like Jean's.
*He just asked me out. He actually asked me out!* "Yes!" Jean said a bit to loudly.
"This afternoon ok?" Ben asked.
"Yes. I can't wait. See you then," Jean said. With that she turned and headed up to her room, a huge smile plastered on her face. Kitty noticed it as Jean paced her and also that Jean had a spring in her step.
*Whoa, what's got Jean so happy?* Kitty wondered.
Jean collapsed onto her bed and shouted out, "Yes!"
Meanwhile, Ben reentered the rec room with a huge grin on his face. "So she said yes, huh?" Rogue asked with a smirk. Ben turned bright red. "I knew it. You did go out there to ask her out."
"You are so lucky, man!" Kurt exclaimed.
"Way to go dude," Evan said, giving him a thumbs up.
"Guys, let it drop," Scott said shaking his head.
"What, Jean's a total babe. Ben is so lucky!" Evan said.
Kitty entered the rec room at that moment. "So that's why Jean had a huge plastered on her face. You are like so lucky, Ben."
"She did?" Ben asked. *Wow, she's as happy as I am about this.*
"Just don't break her heart kid and you and I will get along real well." Everyone jumped not even hearing Logan come into the rec room.
"I won't, Logan," Ben replied gulping heavily. He just hoped he never angered Logan. Scott had told him about Logan's temper. *Well nothing is going to keep me from being happy over this date with, Jean. I still can't believe I have a date with Jean Grey.*
