Chapter 6
It was the third day of the big fight they all had between each other. Scott still hadn't proclaimed his feelings towards Jean because he didn't know when the right time was. When was the time right? She wouldn't even give him a chance to explain.
"Why did you call us down here Logan?" Rogue asked with her southern accent.
"Well kids, I want to play a little game. It's called express your anger," Logan retorted seriously.
"Ve shouldn't even be out here in this weather," Kurt said looking up at the dark, cloudy sky. Logan gave him a hard stare, "Vhat exactly do ve have to do?" Kurt asked changing his mind about protesting.
"Well, the point of the game is to pass the ball to a person and express your feelings towards everyone here," Logan explained. "The only person who can talk is the one holding the ball. That way, we won't make a riot with our feelings."
"Dude! That's not fair. If you don't have to express your feelings Wolverine then why do we have to," Evan proclaimed as Logan scrunched his nose up.
"I'm the teacher here, so you do what I tell ya Porcupine, got it?" Logan said as he told them to form a circle. He sat in the empty space of the circle. "Ready?" he asked as they all made an aggravated face. "Let's start with you Half-pint."
"Fine," Kitty said. "I hate how Scott like never gives anyone a chance. I hate how everyone like blames the whole situation like on one person when half of the idea was like theirs." Kitty said as she passed the ball to Kurt who caught it as it hit him in the stomach.
"Ouch," he said as he held the ball tightly. "I hate how everyone alvays thinks that all I am is a goofball. Vell, I am, but vhen there's a serious situation, everyone alvays thinks I'm joking," he screeched as he passed the ball to Rogue.
"Ah hate how y'all guys always drag everyone into a situation even when they don't want to be a part of it. Y'all should be considerate of other people's feelin's," Rogue said as she creased her eyebrows and rubbed her purple lips together. She passed the ball to Scott.
"I hate how everyone is unappreciative of me wanting everything to work out. I'm just trying to look out for you. And I hate how some people never really give other's the chance to explain," Scott said looking at Jean who was rolling her eyes. He passed the ball to Evan.
"I hate how everyone doesn't listen to someone's beliefs and opinions and goes on and does what they want to do. I want to be heard," Evan said as everyone listened to everyone else intently. Logan smiled and knew his plan was working. He knew he could not stand one more day with them fighting like this. He knew that they had a lesson to learn and he had to teach it to them. Evan passed the ball to Jean.
"If anyone is supposed to be mad here, it should be me," Jean said angrily.
"It's ok Jean, let it out," Logan said as he listened intently.
"Fine Logan, you want me to let it out? I'll let it out alright," Jean screamed as she twirled the ball in her hands. "I hate how everyone's always in everyone else's business. I know we live together, but that doesn't mean we have to be attached at the hip every minute. I hate how everyone wants to try to be normal when you should be proud of who you are. I want to be normal sometimes, but inside I know I'm not. And that's why we are here, to appreciate our powers." Rogue looked at her understandingly. It got on her nerves that Jean was so perfect, but today she's appreciating it.
"I hate how people don't express their feelings when they have the chance. They make others think that they have no feelings for them," Jean said looking over at Scott. She couldn't see his eyes but knew they were wide with love. She loved him so much. She just wanted to hear the words from his mouth. Jean and Scott had a special bond that they couldn't explain. It was just between the two. Right now she felt hurt and love coming from his heart. Maybe he did love her?
Jean tilted her head in concern. She knew he loved her the whole time, she just needed to hear it. Some couples were different, but Jean believed that it helps them become more open with each other. She passed the ball back to Logan. "Now, we are going to say what we like about each other," Logan said smiling as he passed the ball to Kitty.
Kitty caught the ball and stood quiet. She knew she loved everyone so much, she just didn't know how to say it. It was kind of hard to express what you like about a person when you are having a fight with them. She felt bad about the fight and she hated it. It made her feel lonely and unloved. She loved her friends and knew they loved her. They were her family. Kitty giggled and smiled. "I love Kurt's goofiness. I like love Evan's enjoyment of life and I like to hear his opinions. I love Rogue's appreciation for others and her like rebellious attitude. I love Scott's bossiness. It's like annoying, but it keeps the group together. I love Ms. Goody Goody. It helps me want to do better." She passed the ball to Kurt.
"Kitty you're so caring. You're nosy, but so am I. You're so fun," Kurt said laughing. He teleported over to her and gave her a hug. Then he teleported back. Everyone broke out in laughter. "Sorry Jean for vhat ve did, it's just that you two make the cutest couple. Evan, ve should've listened to you. You're opinions matter to me. Jean, you're so nice and sweet. Rogue, sis, you're just like a real big sister; caring and appreciative. Scott, sorry too. You're just the opposite of me and that's vhy ve make such a good couple." Everyone laughed as Kurt passed the ball to Rogue.
"I love y'all. One word for each of you: Perfect, cool, funny, fun, and crazy," Rogue said smiling as she passed the ball towards Evan.
"Man this is so cool. You guys are my family. Well, Anti O. is my real family, but," Evan said as they laughed. "I agree with Rogue, Kurt, and Kitty on what I love about everyone. We all make up one team, one family." Evan smiled and passed the ball onto Scott.
"I try to look out for all of you because I care about you and I wouldn't do anything to hurt you guys. Rogue, you're so dependable. And Kurt and Kitty, you two squirts make this group fun. Evan you like to live it up and you give me a vacation from myself sometimes," Scott said as they all nodded. Scott knew he was a little bossy, but someone had to be. "And I love you Jean Grey." Everyone gasped and sighed. He knew he didn't want to say it in front of everyone but he was proud of his woman.
"It's abou' time," Rogue said as Kurt whistled and Kitty screamed in happiness. Evan and Rogue clapped and Logan smiled. He passed the ball to Jean.
Jean smiled the biggest smile ever. "I love you too," Jean said. "Actually, I love everything about you. It just upset me that everyone was in our business and I thought you didn't feel the same way. I'm kind of glad everyone did we could have this heart-filling moment," Jean picked Scott up with her powers and brought him over to her. Scott smiled they kissed.
"Ewww," Evan said as the kiss ended and Scott took a seat on the grass next to Jean in the circle. "What about you Logan?"
"Me?" Logan asked.
"Well you were like with us when the problem happened. You're like part of this. Anyways you're part of the family too," Kitty said.
"Thanks Half-pint. Listen, I'm not going to get all mushy, but get over hear Squirts and give me a hug," Logan said smiling as they all ran towards him. "Oh no!" He was laying on the floor now with everybody on top of him. "TOO MUCH LOVE!" he said as they laughed and he tried to find a way through. Logan smiled at his family.
Everyone smiled as the sun came out from behind the clouds.

"More popcorn for everybody," Kurt said putting the huge popcorn bowl in the middle next to the fire. The night sky was clear and the stars were out.
"Like you wouldn't even have to get up again if you hadn't dropped the popcorn the first time," Kitty said giggling as Kurt took a seat next to her and she popped a popcorn into her mouth. They were all camping out in the backyard tonight. Even Storm, Beast, and the Professor.
"Sorry. I volunteered to get more popcorn. Ve vouldn't vant you to make them," Kurt said as Kitty nudged him playfully. "I learned that lesson when I first tasted your muffins!"
"Kurt, have you ever tried to teach Kitty how to drive?" Scott said with a chuckle. "I advise you to never get in a car with her."
Rogue laughed. "I haven't had this much fun ever since we girls made that group, the Bayville Sirens," Rogue said as the girls laughed.
"Sometimes you have to take a break from guys," Jean said. "But you can't live without them."
"You got that right sister!" Kitty said giving Jean a high five.
"I hope that all of you learned a valuable lesson today," Professor X said.
"Yeah, we should fight more often. More popcorn!" Kurt said as everyone laughed.
"Yeah Professor, we did learn a lot of lessons today," Scott said as he smiled at Jean who was looking care-free and extra beautiful. "Never hesitate to tell someone that you love them." Scott put his hand in Jean's and she squeezed it tight.
"Friends are always there for you when you need them, so be there for them," Jean said looking at her family.
"Friends are the family you choose," Kurt said looking at Kitty.
"Never give up on friends and never say never," Kitty said.
"Friends will except you the way you are," Rogue said flicking her hair back.
"Friends will respect you and help you up when you are down," Evan said whole-heartedly.
"Most importantly, remember, X-men need to accept themselves and others and know that friends will be there for you always," Charles said looking around knowing who his family was and where everyone belonged.
"Let's never stop being friends," Scott said as they all nodded and smiled.
"WE ARE THE X-MEN!" everyone shouted as they put their hands together in the middle and threw them up in the air.
