A/N: I have some stuff I gotta say. First, the title is a bit inaccurate, because this fic takes place somewhere between the end of spring and the beginning of summer, like I hinted in the first chapter. Second, I need some ideas fer what Kitty, Rogue, Kurt, n Evan plan fer Jean n Scott. Third, I'm making Scott n Jean the same age, even if Jean may be older (I'm not sure if that's true in Xmen evo.) and they're both in their senior year in high school. Now, on to the third chapter..

Rogue was the first one to get up, always having been an early riser. She yawned, then stepped into the kitchen. The first thing she saw was Scott Summers crumpled on the kitchen table with an ice cream carton in front of his head, and a spoon not too far from his right hand. (A/N: he's right handed, right? Oh well ()

*OMG! Did something happen to him!? * was the first thing that ran through her mind. She rushed over to him and felt for his pulse. Finding it still beating healthily, she let out a breath of relief as she realized that he had probably just fallen asleep while eating his ice cream.

"Scott! Get up!" she raised her voice a little, slapping him lightly on the head. It didn't do the trick.

"MMPH!" he let out a muffled protest.

"Scott Summers! You're sitting in the kitchen with an ice cream carton filled with melted ice cream in front of you!" she cried out. "Get your lazy ass up!"

When that didn't work, she said, "We have a danger room session in 5!"

"I'm up!" he sat straight up and shook his bangs out of his eyes, and was surprised to see the carton in front of him. "Wow, have I been here the whole time?"

Rogue nodded at him, then set about making her breakfast. "By the way, our Danger Room workout's in an hour."

* * * Jean's point of view * * * Scott leaned closer, closer, closer..their lips were only millimeters apart.

Suddenly, Jean heard a ::BAMF::, and she found herself back in her room, sheets wrapped tightly around her. Confused, she opened her eyes and saw Kurt and Kitty watching her. Without saying a word, Kurt bamfed back out of her room, and Kitty sat down at the edge of her bed.

"So, did you guys, like, enjoy the movie last night?" Kitty asked with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"Uh..It was fine.?" came the mumbled response.

"Come on Jean! It's about time that you told Scott that you like him!" Kitty squealed, unable to contain herself. "I mean, like, last night you spent, like, the whole movie staring at him! And then, like, at the end of the movie, you guys were, like, all over each other! Like, don't think we didn't notice!"

"What are you talking about!?" Jean protested, now wide awake and sitting up in her bed. "I don't like Scott in that way!" *You're a liar Jean, and you know it. * She blushed, in spite of herself.

"C"mon Jean. Everyone in, like, the whole mansion knows that you and Mr. Stick-up-his-ass belong together." Kitty persisted.

"Don't call him that, it's just part of his nature!" Jean blurted, blushing even redder.

"See!? I knew it!" Kitty burst out excitedly. "Look at how fast you stuck up for him!"

"Leave me in peace, Kitty," Jean groaned. "I just got up,"

"'K, 'K, but, like, don't think this conversation's over!" Kitty got up and phased through the wall to her own room. Jean sighed and flopped back down on her pillow. *Why is life always so complicated? Just when I think my life's getting better, it gets worse *

Late afternoon, in the backyard of the mansion
The X-men and new recruits were having a water fight, boys against girls, while Professor Xavier, Hank, Ororo, and Logan watched from a balcony high over the backyard. They had gotten out water balloons, hoses, water guns, and various other items. Scott blasted through two water balloons high over his head, courtesy of Jean. He smirked at her.
he sent to her. From across the field they were in, she shrugged. A second later, Scott felt the full blast of the hose in his back. He saw Jean smirk back at him. Before he moved out of the way, Kurt saw him and bamfed him out of the way, and used his water gun on Kitty, who had sneaked up behind him. She coolly phased through it, and while Scott and Jean turned back to each other, grabbed Kurt, Evan, and Rogue to a small corner where Scott and Jean couldn't see them.

"OK. I, like, have a plan." She announced.

"Would this include one of us pushing Jean or Scott so they land on top of each other?" Rogue sighed.

"Like, shut up Rogue." Kitty stuck her tongue out at her. "Anyways, as I was saying, I have a plan. Kurt, you bamf Evan in between them so he can kill the water balloons they throw, then, Rogue, you, like, somehow get Scott closer to Jean. And then I'm gonna push Jean onto him. When all that's finished, Kurt, you get us all outta there. Got it?"

"See? What'd I tell you?" Rogue rolled her eyes. "It always involves pushing."

"Well, I'd like to see you, like, think of something better!"

"'K, 'K. Let's go!" the two boys looked at each other, then shrugged. It told them plain and simple that girls were weird. Kurt put a hand on Evan's shoulder, and in a puff of smoke they were between Scott and Jean. Evan shot his spikes in perfect accuracy, and hit every single one of the balloons. They fell to the ground, and since both Jean and Scott had ran out of water balloons, they took advantage of the hoses that had been left on the ground by Evan and Rogue. While Kurt and Evan did this, Rogue ran behind Scott and 'accidentally' plowed into him, making him stumble towards Jean, hose still in hand. Kitty timed her push flawlessly, and they collided and fell, Jean on top of Scott. The four of them regrouped immediately and with a ::BAMF:: they were back to the corner they were in.

Immediately, his feelings for Jean flared up, and the thoughts that flashed in his mind were along the lines of: she's beautiful, even if she's all wet, her lips are perfectly shaped, etc. A furious blush crept up his cheeks, and he started feeling hot all over.

*OMG! He's right beneath me! His face is so close! * She hear the loud pounding of her heart, and was pretty sure Scott could also. A blush also covered her embarrassed face. Barely acknowledging what she was doing, Jean leaned her head closer, closer, closer..
