TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE! Jubilee exited the professors Rolls very warily; this was her first time at a nightclub after all. She was closely followed by Kitty, Jean, Rogue and Amara all of them just as stunningly dressed as Jubilee all of them turning heads as they walked up to the bouncer. Each one of them in turn handed the giant of a man their ticket. As they walked into club the sound of "The Dropkick Murphy's" echoed through the club. Jubilee was well aware that the rest of the crowd were in casual dress and she felt awkward because of it. Jubilee turned to Jean "You don't think we're a little over dressed for this place are we" Jean merely smiled and grabbed her by the hand leading her to the front of the crowd which was surrounded by a set of tables and chairs it was here they met up with Scott, Bobby, Jamie, Ray and of course Rogue just had to invite Remy, the were officially a couple now and Jubilee just couldn't turn down Rogue when it came down her relationship with the New Orleans thief. Rogue ran over to the Acolyte and flung her hands round his neck and started to dance to "The Dropkick Murphy's" cover of The Wild Rover.

All of a sudden the music was cut off by the D.J. "Good evening everyone and welcome to Kelly's rock club I'm Sean Kelly and happy St Paddy's day to you all" a cheer arose from the crowd "Probably all Irish" thought Jubilee. "And because its St Paddy's day we have a special band for ye" the D.J. continued "A regular band here at Kelly's please welcome SHAMROCK". It was at this point when the entirety of the population of the club went insane. Scott turned round to Jubilee, grinning like a tomcat "You're gonna want to marry me after this" he said Jubilee looked at him quizzically. The band came onstage one by one taking their places but when the lead singer/guitarist took his place Jubilee understood what Scott had meant as the front man raised his head who else could it be but Conner. He noticed Jubilee and flashed her a smile and a wink Jubilee could feel herself turning a bright crimson.

"Thanks everyone for comin and a happy St Paddy's to day all of ye" he announced as they proceeded to play the first number. Jubilee gave Scot an evil grin as he looked at her innocently "You knew didn't you", Scott was grinning madly right now "I have gym with the lead singer and I helped him when Duncan was beating on him one day, he asked how he could repay me I asked him for tickets to his next gig and he gave me tickets for today which was perfect".

"Why didn't you tell me you know Conner?" "Since when did you know his name?" "He might have given me a ride home today" Scott did not look happy at this latest announcement from Jubilee she was one of the younger students and should be looked after accordingly "Jubilee next time you get a ride home with me"

"You left without me today so what else was I supposed to do" she replied coldly

Scott knew he was beaten this time and went back to watching the band.

After a few songs were played Conner had drenched himself in water having been extremely hot from playing and jumping round on stage for half an hour, Jubilee did not mind one little bit. "Jesus when Summers said he wanted tickets for him and his friends I didn't know it was Jubilee who he had intended it for, Christ she looks fit" Thought Conner to himself as there cover of flower of Scotland ended, he awoke from his dreaming of Jubilee. Practically the whole of the gig Jubilee stood there assessing how hot Conner looked when he was wet, and Conner spent most of his time staring at Jubilee when she was not looking and assessing how hot she looked in red.

"Well ladies and Gentleman this is our last song but before we finish I would like to say happy St Paddy's day to ye all and also it's a certain young ladies birthday today and there she is" he said while pointing to Jubilee, She turned around to see everyone staring at her "That's right the cute one in the red dress, I'd like all of ye to scream for young Jubilee there" Jubilee turned crimson and saw all of her friends laughing uncontrollably all except Bobby Drake who didn't look impressed by the display of affection that Jubilee had been showing throughout the nights proceedings. They then went into their last song, which was a cover of Pearl Jams "Evenflow". When the song had finished Conner said his thankyous to the audience and then with the rest of the band walked backstage.

"Time to go Jubilee" said Jean

"Jean just give me half an hour I need to speak with Conner" Jubilee pleaded

"Jubilee Logan will kill us if we're not back on time and you know that"

"Wolvie will be ok he knows it's my birthday he'll be ok" Jubilee gave jean her trademark puppy dog look when she was really trying to get something. Jean could never say no to her when she put on that look "Fine, but only half an hour ok and you bite bullet if Logan goes medieval on us ok", Jubilee grinned from ear to ear and hugged Jean tightly.

"Thanks Jean you're the best"

"Save it Jubilee I've gotta stall Scott for Half an hour"

"I know I'll try to cut it shorter ok"

"Go on run along before I change my mind ok" Out of the new recruits Jean had a soft spot for Jubilee you could say that she was Jeans favourite but it was just the case that Jean felt like a big sister to the younger student. It was as Jubilee was approaching the stage when she started to day dream about him again, "Oh my god he was so cute on stage and I can't believe he mentioned me, I thought I was gonna loose my balance and fall over when he winked at me" it was at this point when she bumped into something or rather someone. And who else would it be but the lead singer of Shamrock himself, carrying a parcel.

"Well if it isn't the birthday girl herself" "And if it ain't the pain in the ass himself" Conner gave strange look, and he looked genuinely hurt by that remark.

"What in the name of Jesus, Mary and Joseph are ye talking about"

"Do you know how embarrassing it was when you said to the crowd it was my Birthday? The look from some of those people was frightening"

A look of understanding washed over Conner's face "Right I see well I'm sorry and I hope that this mere gift can make up for it" and handed her a yellow parcel.

"Conner you really shouldn't have"

"Well I wouldn't have felt right if I dey give ye a small present" Jubilee slowly unwrapped the box, Conner throughout this ceremony could never take his eyes of her admiring the way her hair drooped over her face, the way her hands carefully dissected the wrapping paper, and he loved the way her tongue stuck out of the corner of her mouth with the careful concentration of a small child. When Jubilee finished opening the package she found a bright yellow leather jacket and a pair of sunglasses just like Scott's. She couldn't hold back anymore she finally let the tears go. At this point Conner felt his heart breaking, Jesus have I offended her, nice one Finnegan first you embarrass her then you offend her 10 out of fucking 10" Jubilee noticed he was cutting himself up inside, and laid an assuring hand on his palm. "This is a really beautiful gift, than-you" and she kissed him on the cheek, she then got up to leave.

"Eighteen" Said Conner

"What"

"You wanted to know how old I was well I'm eighteen, and I come from Kilkenny in southern Ireland"

"Conner you don't have to."

"I left Ireland because I had to provide for my little sister and there was no work over there and so I brought her over here to live with our Aunt and Uncle" Conner interrupted.

"Conner you didn't have to tell me any of that I was only joking in the truck today" Conner merely smiled, looking at her straight in the eyes, "I said if you came to my next gig I'd tell you everything and I did it's a matter of keeping a promise". Jubilee understood fully and knew he had told purely through the fact he had felt that she was a good enough person trust and that he was really a very closed up individual much like Logan and Remy, but that was the way she liked him.

At the bar Bobby Drake stared at Conner with nothing but malice in his eyes, "I'm not gonna let anyone take away Lee from me not some singer not anyone, watch out Conner your gonna know what a cold heart really is soon". At this point Jean then walked over to Jubilee very warily not wanting to disturb the moment between Conner and Jubilee. "Jubilee it's time to go you've had half a hour and Scott's getting anxious"

"Aw Jean I don't wanna go"

"Go on luv I don't wanna get ya in trouble now"

"But Conner, for some reason I just feel like I have to stay"

"Now lass you'll be fine I'll see ya tomorrow, and will ye wear the jacket"

"Sure but I want to give you something first" she said with a sly smile on her face. Conner raised an eyebrow.

"What is ye wanna be giving me then eh Lee"

"This" Jubilee leaned in towards him and their lips met, and in one moment and Asian heart became one with an Irish voice and for a moment it was as if there was no one else there only the two of them. Conner was left stunned beyond all belief and he just couldn't understand why the hell this beautiful woman had decided to kiss him, "You aught to soak yourself on stage more often" Jubilee whispered in his ear. Suddenly he came back down to earth and jumped up to watch her leave. "Finnegan my boy ya finally got the bloody girl ya lucky sod" he thought to himself, and all of a sudden a grin creped it's way across his face.

"Well it looks like our Jubilee aint so young anymore" Jean teased her as they left. "Well ahm proud of ya for one" complimented Rogue, "Like Jubilee you make such a cute couple" kitty looked as though she was about to have a fit she was so excited. Amara had left earlier that evening saying she didn't feel very well and so Jamie took her home. Jubilee simply smiled and blushed "You've outdone yourself tonight Jubilee you look amazing you got yourself two great gifts from a great guy and you got the best gift of all a soaking wet Conner" Jubilee giggled to herself. "This a private joke or can we all know" said Kitty jokingly "I was just thinking that I got exactly what I wanted for my Birthday"

"She only got it coz I did her hair and makeup"
