I hope all of you review. I really need to know how I'm doing.
Jubilee wandered around aimlessly through the mansion, looking this way and that. She was hoping to "accidentally" bump into that devious Betsy but so far failed to see anyone, period. Making her way down one of the hallways she saw a slightly open bedroom door. She strolled in to find Rogue laying on her bed, seemingly fuming, or something close to it.
"What's eating you?" She asked through almost half a laugh. Rogue jumped, she didn't hear Jubilee enter.
"Nothin'."
"Okay, that was SO unconvincing." Rogue was annoyed by how cheerful Jubes was when she was feeling so, even she wasn't sure what or why she was feeling.
"Lets jus' say Ah had a little heart to heart with Betsy over there."
"Betsy?" Jubilee perked up at the name, her insides still boiling with the need for revenge. "Where is she?" Rogue eyeballed her curiously at Jubilee's failed attempt to sound innocent.
"Who wants tuh know?" Jubilee opened her mouth to answer but nothing came out. "That's what Ah thought. Ah'm not gonna tell you when the only thing on your mind is revenge. Jus' deal with it." Now that Rogue had passed her livid emotions onto her, Jubilee left.
"I'm thinking Shiro had the right idea." She thought aloud to herself. "Maybe I should skip the Logan session. I don't have enough energy today anyway." Jubilee smiled to herself about her idea and quickly left on a thorough search to find the other recruits. She knew Betsy would never skip and Heather would tattle or something, even though she got off because she was Logan's "favorite". Looks like I'll need to find company in everyone else. Even though Roberto and Theresa got off they might want to come. I'm not gonna ask Jamie, he'll just be a nuisance. After a bit of moseying she found Roberto and Shiro outside soaking up some sun, literally.
"Hey, Shiro! I got to thinking and skipping today doesn't sound like a bad idea."
"I knew you'd see it my way soon enough." He said with a smile.
"Maybe if you guys had won you wouldn't be worrying 'bout this." Roberto said to them. "Like I did."
"Sure, yeah you're SO great, Roberto. The "Incredible Sunspot", stand back as he works his magic." Jubilee said sarcastically as she mocked him. Roberto threw her a look but then smiled. She couldn't help but giggle at his reaction. "Well anyway, I was thinking that we get outta here and do something really fun and wild."
"Hmmm…" Shiro thought aloud. "Go to extra Logan sessions and have the time of my life. Such a difficult choice." He said sarcastically. "I'm with you all the way."
"Good." She turned to Roberto. "How about you?"
"Sorry, I don't have any sessions to skip." He said smiling. "Well," He started. "As long as it's fun in the sun, I'm in."
"Alright, let me round up the others. You guys can… choose our transportation." She said with a wink. Then she ran off to the tennis courts where Sam and Theresa were playing. Nearby Jamie was reading some comic books under the tree. "Hey, guys!" She called to them and Sam looked over in her direction just as Theresa served.
"HA, I aced you! Game, set, match, I win!" Theresa shouted.
"That ain't fair! Jubilee distracted me."
"Well, it's your fault that you looked, so I still win!"
"Hey, Theresa, great job!" Jamie came forward, comic book in hand as he congratulated her.
"Thanks Jamie." She was a little calmer around him it seemed. Usually she was a very hyperactive person but whenever she was around Jamie she seemed saner. Her cheeks flushed at his compliment but he assumed it was because she had just been playing a whole tennis match. They were the two youngest in the entire institute; Theresa was one year older.
"So… what do you think?" Jubilee whispered to Sam. She had just been telling him about her idea of getting out of there during their supposed session. "Come on… Shiro and Roberto are coming. There are tons of things better than staying here and getting a beating." His eyes darted over to Theresa who was talking with Jamie enthusiastically. I thought he would jump for this, Jubilee wondered to herself.
"Maybe… I'm not sure. Who--who else are you going to ask?"
"Well, NOT Heather. If she finds out she'll tattle to Logan and then we'll be in trouble. She's like his little puppet. Definitely not Betsy, she might not tell, but I can't be too sure. Besides she loves those sessions for some crazy reason." Jubilee paused as she noticed Logan stumble into the mansion with a frozen foot and she couldn't help but laugh. I guess Bobby got the better of him, she thought to herself, remembering the little chase around the yard.
"Who are you going to ask?!" Sam asked, impatiently.
"Oh, sorry. Well, I was going to ask Theresa, but I gotta wait till she's done talking with Jamie. I don't want him hanging around; sometimes he just gets too annoying and in the way."
"Yeah…" Sam agreed, his eyes still on the two talking, "Sure, why not, but we better leave soon. The session starts in less than half an hour." Jubilee and Sam both watched the two youngest conversing and finally they heard Jamie say see you later and he left for the mansion.
"Hey, Guthrie! Wanna do some volleys?!?" Theresa was barely speaking but it became a yell because of her hard to control powers.
"Hold on!" Jubilee interrupted. "I was wondering, Theresa, if you'd like to come with us for some… fun."
"But YOU guys have LOGAN sessions!!!" Both Sam and Jubi covered their ears.
"Could ya TRY to keep it down?!?" Jubilee asked, exasperated.
"Ohhh…" She finally realized what Jubilee was doing. "You're going to skip."
"Yeah 'genius'. Glad you figured it out." Jubilee rolled her eyes while stating her sarcastic remark.
"Sure I'll come. You guys really want me?" She walked to the side of the court they were on.
"Wel--"
"--Of course we do." Sam interrupted Jubilee, cheerfully. He knew that Siryn was not one of Jubilee's favorite people, but at times they got along well.
"So lets get going!" Jubilee shouted excitedly. Time for some fun, she thought to herself.
"Wait… what about Jamie?" Jubi winced at that question but Sam took care of it.
"Come on Theresa! Do you really need to do everything with him? Or do you need him around just to have some fun?" Wanting to prove Sam wrong and that she was capable of having fun without the Multiple Man around she dropped the subject.
"Shiro and Roberto should already be in the garage." Jubilee said as she turned to enter the institute.
"Hey!" Sam called.
"Yeah! Where do you think you're going?!?" Theresa asked the question they both wondered.
"Hey, to have fun we need to the king of fun himself to do that! Anyway, we need a driver, none of us can do that legally!" She continued on through the door as they ran towards the garage. Both gave each other puzzled looks as to who she could be talking about.
"She's right." Theresa said.
"Yeah, fun does not involve getting caught driving without a license. Bad enough that we're gonna get killed by Logan for this, we don't need the police on our backs too." Sam pointed out. They quickly entered the garage and joined Sunfire and Sunspot in the X-van. Roberto was sitting in the driver's seat
"Where's Jubilee?" Shiro asked.
"I'm right here." She said, clambering into the back seat, next to Shiro who was playing with a fireball in his hand.
"Lets hit the road!" shouted Roberto as he opened the garage door.
"Not so fast, a voice said." He opened the driver's door. "Move over Sunspot, Iceman's in the house!" Bobby yelled as Roberto slid over to the passenger side and he climbed into the driver's seat. "Sooo… Where to? He asked as he stepped on the gas and the vehicle went screeching down the driveway.
"What about the gate?!?" Theresa yelled, full of panic.
"No sweat!" Yelled Bobby over the wind whistling through the open windows. "I opened that before the key was in the ignition!" Roberto looked back at Jubilee who had a devious look on her face. Roberto poked Bobby to get his attention and motioned towards Jubilee. "I'm guessing you have something in mind Jubes?" Bobby asked with a similar smile on his face.
"Yeah, take a right!" She yelled. "We're going to cook up a little something of our own."
Little did Bobby or any of the passengers notice a motorcycle was parked outside of the gate. A small figure sat upon the bike, hands gripping it with one foot on the ground. Right when the van turned a sharp right, the biker revved up and followed them. The color of the designs matching that of its rider's hair.
NOTE: Okay I'll get the next chapter up soon! Please review! I want to know how I'm doing. Do like it? Do you hate it? Is there something you'd like to see happen?
