*~*~*~*~*

The sun beamed down as two eleven year olds dashed across the lawn, their laughter echoing round, brightening the day for their surrogate father as he watched from a window above. They had only been together a matter of months but any fool could see how important they were to each other. He watched with pride as the next generation, so important in this world discovered it's full potential.

"Stop it Scott!"

Jean screamed as he turned the hose on full blast catching her unawares as she ran. She picked up the watering can, full to the brim, emptying it over her best friend, and the two soaking pre-teens stumbled and lay next to each other on the lawn, laughing until their sides ached.

*~*~*~*~*

Seven years later

Jean tugged her hand out of Scott's grasp and ran across the grass kicking off her shoes and laughing as the blades tickled the bare soles of her feet. The more conservative boy looked at her with amusement shining in his eyes, hidden by the sunglasses, as she raced across the grounds.

"Come on." She called over her shoulder and he felt a telekinetic shove on his back until he was near enough for her to grab his hand and tug him with her. When they reached the hedge they were both laughing until Scott stopped suddenly and addressed her.

"Did I ever thank you?"

"For what?" Her eyes showed puzzlement and curiosity.

"For giving me back my childhood, for making me let loose and do crazy stuff. For being you."

"You never had too. Just being there for me was thanks enough." She disappeared into the hedge, flashing him one last grin before all he could see was the back of a red head. He grinned before following her into the darkness.

*~*~*~*~*

The professor looked out from the window at his two oldest students and watched as they disappeared from view. He suspected he had always known that at some point in the future their relationship would evolve and he was glad that finally they had discovered just how important they were to each other.

He sighed and left the window, it seemed just like yesterday they were meeting for the first time. Scott and Jean would always hold a special place in his heart, as the first of his students; they represented his dream coming true. Now they had found each other he doubted anything would ever come between them, and that after all was how it was meant to be.

Smiling the professor rolled out of the room and went to bed.

*~*~*~*~*

"I swear that hedge gets smaller every time," Jean complained as she shook dirt off her skirt.

"You can talk, Miss I can hold off the branches with my powers." Scott grumbled brushing leaves out of his hair.

Jean giggled, as Scott's normally pristine hair sat dishevelled and covered with dirt and leaves.

"Here let me." She stretched up on her tiptoes and brushed all the leaves out, showering Scott in the process.

"Ugh, Jean, you'll pay for that." Catching her completely unawares, Scott lifted her off her feet and swung her round and round.

"Stop it." She screeched and gave him a telekinetic push as her surroundings flew round her. With a startled oomph the dizzy Scott lost his balance and fell onto the floor, Jean landing neatly in his lap.

Staggering he stood up and set her down lightly.

"That was a nasty trick Redd."

Jean raised her eyebrows and found his eyes through the reflective quartz of the sunglasses.

"You were spinning me round in your arms Slim!"

"Point taken," Scott looked down at her pouting mouth. He smiled a little at her expression before suddenly bending down and capturing her lips with his. Unconsciously Jean leant forward and deepened to kiss. Scott's arms wrapped around her holding her close to him and he slipped his tongue into her mouth shyly. She responded with passion and soon they were too lost in each other to notice anything about the surroundings around them or indeed what they themselves were doing.

Slowly but surely, as Jean lost any control she might have had over her emotions, the couple, entwined in each other's arms, rose off the ground and into the night's sky. Eyes closed, both had no idea of anything but the other and as they span softly, neither stopped the kiss.

*~*~*~*~*

Kitty sat on the sofa, her head resting on Kurt's shoulder as she poured over her book. The young boy beside her, however, was far less concentrated. He was trying to work out how to ask her out without appearing rude. The last thing he wanted was to spoil any friend ship they might have, but he was not sure he could stand another moment without knowing how she felt. He broke from his thoughts at Kitty's soft intake of breath.

"Kätzchen?" He looked down at her, but her eyes were fixed on the window.

He could not help but also be entranced with the sight that met his eyes. Spinning slowly in the moonlight, several feet above the ground, were Scott and Jean, completely lost in each other. Stars shone around them but the love that the two shared eclipsed them all.

Beside him Kitty sighed,

"They are so right for each other."

Kurt took a big breath; he knew this was the right time to ask.

"Vill you go out vith me?"

"Of course." Kitty said it matter-of-factly as if it wasn't important, but Kurt knew she was just as excited as him.

He put his arm around her and together they watched the soul mates spin slowly above the lawn.

*~*~*~*~*

Scott rested his head against Jean's.

"I love you." He whispered into her hair.

"I love you too." She looked at where they were before laughing softly.

"I think I got a bit carried away."

"I'm not complaining." Scott smiled.

Jean gently brought them down to earth and together, hand in hand, they walked off to start a new future together.
