A/N: this chapter has a bit of Loro in it-just a lil
Frankly, Ororo was surprised that it took this long for Jean Grey to realize that she harbored feelings for Scott. From living with the girl for about 10 years (A/N: is that true?), she could tell that Jean had had a crush on Scott for a pretty long time now, and Scott's feelings for her even longer. She hoped that they two of them would get together soon, because they would be perfect for each other, and also, she thought that maybe, if Jean broke up with Duncan, she would never see or hear from the stupid ogre again. The idea of never seeing Duncan again brightened her up, so she decided to do some thinking..
A little later on.
Logan was sitting on the couch in the living room watching a wrestling match on TV. IN his hands he held a beer can and a hot dog. Suddenly, his sharp nose and ears picked up another presence in the room. He took a sniff, then relaxed. It was only Ororo. He turned around and watched while she walked to the couch and sat down next to him.
"Logan, I think Jean realizes that she likes Scott as more than a friend, " Ororo stated, getting to the point. Logan raised an amused eyebrow, but kept his eyes glued to the TV.
"Eh? It's a bout time. I hope she dumps that ol' oaf," he muttered. At the sound of Ororo's free-spirited laugh, he turned his head to face her. *God I never realized that she was this beautiful * He snapped out of his little daydream when Ororo spoke again.
"But she needs some, er.. Let's just say some encouraging," Ororo said with a small smirk. "I need your help."
Now Logan laughed. "Jeannie already has him wrapped around 'er finger. Why would she need help?"
"That's why you're a man, Logan. Only women know things like this. Just trust me on this one, " her smirk grew.
"Well how'm I supposed to help?" Logan asked curiously. "I ain't good at all this relationship junk, go ask half-pint er someone, "
"You'll find out soon. I'll come get you when I need you Logan," and with that, Ororo stood up and walked out of the living room. Logan watched the sway of her hips as she walked out. *She's a hot one, Logan * a voice inside him said.
"Agh, shutup already!" Logan cursed under his breath. (A/N: ::evil cackle::)
In Jean's bedroom.
Jean still couldn't figure out why she gave Scott that kiss. She now admitted to the fact that she liked him, but still couldn't quite face it. *Face it, Jean. You're afraid of getting rejected. * Jean sighed. A knock at her door drew Jean from her thoughts.
"Who is it?" she called out.
"Uhh, its me," Scott's voice answered.
Jean tensed. "Umm.Scott, can I talk to you later? I'm sorry, but I can't talk to you right now. I promise I'll come talk to you when I'm ready,"
Silence.
"Sure, Jean," she heard his footsteps fade as he walked away. *Well, at least you weren't lying * she sighed. It was true. She wasn't ready to talk to him, and she didn't know when, but that it would be soon.
Monday, at school.
Jean had casually avoided Scott for the rest of the weekend, and at school so far. However, she didn't realize that two people had been watching her as she avoided Scott. Kitty had been watching her carefully, noticing that she was a lot quieter since the kiss, and that she had been avoiding Scott. Ororo had also been watching her, and she could understand why. The two of them had been surprised to find that the other was planning to help 'push' Jean along in the right direction, especially Kitty, who didn't think of Ororo as the match-making type. So Kitty, Rogue, Evan, Logan, Kurt, and Ororo joined forces, and already had a new plan underway. All of them confidently thought that Jean and Scott didn't stand a chance against the rest of the X-men.
That morning, Jean accepted the ride Duncan had offered to her, like usual. Obviously, her decision was frowned upon from more than one person. The rest of the teenagers piled into the X-van and Scott pulled out of the garage soon after Duncan and Jean. The car ride was filled with banter between the Scott and the new recruits, offering Kitty, Kurt, Rogue, and Evan plenty of cover for them to go over their plan one more time before school started.
After school.
Their plan didn't work. The grand plan that the six of them planned didn't work. Scott was still single, and Jean was still with Duncan. Coincidentally, it was Duncan Matthews that ruined it. He got in the way of everything, it seemed, including their plan and Scott and Jean as a couple. Obviously, everyone involved in the plan, save Scott and Jean, were ready to kill him, especially Logan when he heard what had happened. Luckily for Duncan, he decided to take his need to kill out on the punching bag in the mansion's gym.
Kurt groaned internally. Kitty had dragged him and Evan to another 'plan planning' session with the rest of them. He hadn't been able to resist, especially when Kitty gave him the watery puppy eyes that she'd perfected, and knew that he wouldn't be able to resist. But he was the lucky one. Kitty had sent Rogue ("C'mon, Kitty, why can't we just leave them ahlone?") to get Evan, and deciding to play smart, Evan came docilely. How Ororo got Logan to come, he would never be able to figure out.
"So, Fuzzball, y'know yer part right?" Logan's gruff voice sliced through his thoughts.
"Of course not. Can't you guys see that he's just zoning out again?" Rogue rolled her eyes good-naturedly, having a soft spot for her adoptive brother. Kurt grinned apologetically.
"Kurt! We, like, spent a whole hour talking about it!" Kitty exclaimed. She sighed, and they started to explain his part to him again while Evan snickered behind their backs.
After the 'plan planning'..
"C'mon Evan, let's go get Bobby and play some pranks on people!" he said, feeling mischievous, putting his hand on Evan's shoulder and bamfing to Bobby's room.
"Yo Iceman! Wanna go play some pranks?" Evan called.
Bobby looked up from the book he was reading, an evil grin on his face. "Anytime, man! Let's go!" he hopped off his bed and went off with Kurt and Evan.
2 hours later.
Two hours later, Scott was drenched head to toe in chocolate syrup, Kitty was in a hot shower thinking murder after being practically frozen in the pool in only a bikini, Logan was busy chasing Kurt (claws out), Ororo was hunting Evan down while a storm thundered outside, poor Jean was duct taped to her chair, and all the new girl mutants were dunking Bobby's head in a toilet repeatedly while the new guy mutants watched and cheered them on, as Professor Charles Xavier watched amusedly, a small lopsided grin on his face.
