Authors Note: Okay kids, I'm fighting another writers block, but never fear, I'll beat the story out of somehow. Oh, and by the way, should I write a sequel for this story once it's done?

SCOTT:

I didn't mean it like that. We must prepare by singing a song!

LANCE:

How is that gonna help?

SCOTT:

Don't know, but we have to do it anyway.

*BRING ON TOMORROW (Fame)*

*ALL*

We have arrived at a moment in our lives

When the future passes into out hands

We can find out, are we really strong enough

To fulfill what the future demands

We can stand on the edge

And look out into space

And be awed

By the wonders we see

We can all make a pledge

That the whole mutant race

Will become what we want it to be

Bring on tomorrow

Let it shine

Like the sun coming up on a beautiful day

It's yours and mine

We can make a difference

It's not too late

Bring on tomorrow

We can't wait

Long, long ago in a world we never made

We were children who were making believe

Closing our eyes

We were travelers in air

To a land we would not want to leave

But the fairy tale land, fades away as we grow

And we all have to say our goodbyes

And we now understand, that this world that we know

Can be ours if we open our eyes

Bring on tomorrow

Let it shine

Like the sun coming up on a beautiful day

It's yours and mine

We can make a difference

It's not too late

Bring on tomorrow

We can't wait

Bring on tomorrow

We can't wait

Bring on tomorrow

It's not too late

Bring on tomorrow

We can't wait

Bring on tomorrow

We can't wait

Bring on tomorrow

Let it shine

Like the sun coming up on a beautiful day

It's yours and mine

We can make a difference

It's not too late

Bring on tomorrow

We can't wait

Bring on tomorrow

We can't wait

(Heroic posing ensues)

*~*~*~*~*

Later at Jean's room

JEAN:

What if something goes wrong Scott?

SCOTT:

Nothing'll go wrong. We're the heroes, we never lose.

JEAN:

But there's something about that Epstein, he creeps me out.

SCOTT:

We'll beat him. We allways beat everybody. That's what makes us heroes.

JEAN:

I thought that fighting for the good of all makes us heroes.

SCOTT:

That too. But the main thing is that we allways win. And I shall lead us into victory!

*MARTIN GUERRE/ SCOTT SUMMERS (Martin Guerre)*

*SCOTT*

All the insults and the names

The kicks, the tricks, the vicious games

To make a young man reach his prime

They say he's weak, they say he's snapped

A man who's scared, a man who's trapped

When all a young man needs is time

Let them try, with the thrill of the pack

Hold your breath till the day he gets back!

Enough, no more, I don't give a damn

Why stay, what for?

I know who I am

A man above the lie that they live

A man who'll love when he's ready to give

But I'll come back one day, after ten years away

And they'll stop and they'll say

Look! Look!

Look, it's Scott Summers

We need him here, no need to fear, never despair

Yes! It's Scott Summers

Back home at last, those from the past better beware

Strides through the town

Laughs, waves them away

They all think he must be the same

But by heaven they're sure to see there's more to Scott Summers

Than a name

(A/N: There is a part here in the original lyrics, but I wasn't able to revise it to suit the fic, so I cut it out, sorry about that. Now, on with the singing!)

Look! It's Scott Summers

Standing so brave, back from the grave, who else would dare

Yes! It's Scott Summers

Back from afar, not like before

Of this I swear

He's seen it all, he's travelled the land

And look! Look what he became

And by heaven they're sure to see there's more to Scott Summers

Just look, look at what he became

By heaven they're sure to see there's more to Scott Summers

Than a name!

JEAN:

At least you haven't got low self-esteem.

*SOMEWHERE (West Side Story)*

*SCOTT*

There's a place for us,

Somewhere a place for us.

Peace and quiet and open air

Wait for us

Somewhere.

*JEAN*

There's a time for us,

Some day a time for us.

Time together and time to spare,

Time to look, time to care

Some day!

Somewhere

We'll find a new way of living,

Will find there's a way of forgiving

Somewhere...

*BOTH*

There's a place for us,

A time and place for us.

Hold my hand and we're halfway there

Hold my hand and I'll take you there

Somehow...

Some day...

Somewhere...

*~*~*~*~*

Later still

(The couples share romantic moments. Is anyone getting sick of all the romance?)

*TRY NOT TO BE AFRAID (Whistle Down The Wind)*

*SCOTT*

Try not to be afraid, so many things can happen

Nothings ever quite as bad as it might appear

*LANCE*

I'll give you all I got, You know I can protect you

And try and stop you shedding even one more single tear

*SCOTT AND JEAN*

Shelter from the storms

*LANCE AND KITTY*

Refuge from the world outside

*SCOTT AND JEAN*

Safety from the dangers

*LANCE AND KITTY*

Escape from all the disappointments that time has passed

*KURT*

Healing of ze vounds, ze banishing of nightmares

An end to endless tortured nights untroubled sleep at last

*TODD*

This is the vow I've made, I'll see it all come true now

And all you have to do for me, Try not to be afraid

*KURT AND TODD*

I swear I'll be with you, this promise that I've made you

*JEAN*

You will always be with me

*SCOTT*

Think of every thing you've got, try not to be afraid

*JEAN*

Try not to be afraid

*ALL*

Try not to be afraid

(ROGUE runs around madly)

ROGUE:

My heel! He's coming! Oh my God! He's coming!

Author's Note: Yep, Epstein is coming. That means there's gonna be fighting next! We all love fighting don't we? I just had to put "Somewhere" in this fic, I love that song, it allways makes me cry.
