A/N: Thank you KatLeBeau for your continuous reviews! I'll have to add more Rogue/Remy-ness for you next chapter if I can, since there's none in this one. I hope you still like it though. Not as lighthearted as the last chap, but entertaining nontheless! I hope. Heh.

X-Men: Black and White
---------------
By the time Ororo and Scott returned from their date, it was already the early hours of the morning. Scott had his arm around Ororo's waist as they walked, and she leaned her head against his shoulder.
"That was a very lovely evening Scott." Ororo smiled genuinely as they made their way up the steps to the front door of the mansion.
Scott could only grin. "Yeah, I had a nice time too."
Ororo furrowed her brows, stepping inside as Scott opened the door. "You sound surprised."
His eyes opened wide and he immediately began apologizing. "Oh no, Ororo, I'm sorry, I didn't mean-"
She leaned forward, silencing him with a kiss. Ororo pulled away slowly, leaving Scott with a shocked expression on his face. She started up the stairs, glancing back at him and laughing slightly at his dazed look. "See you in the morning."
Scott closed his mouth, watching the beautiful Goddess ascend the stairway. "G-Good night Ororo." he stuttered as she disappeared. He really enjoyed his date with Ororo, and was even hoping she'd let him take her on more. From that kiss she left him with, he thought it was very possible. Scott smiled to himself, satisfied, then walked to his room to sleep peacefully and dream of his weather Goddess. 'His' weather Goddess, he mused. Scott liked the sound of that. He could still smell her fine earthy scent in the air that lingered all the way up the stairs. It made him glad to know her, and even more glad that he had seemed to have found someone that loved him just as much back.

Jubilee stumbled into the kitchen after having walked into a few things on her way through the dark halls of the mansion. Sure there were a few dim lights along the way, but she still managed to stub her toe atleast four to five times. She was about to flick the lights on, when she thought she saw a shadow pass by the door. Jubilee's eyes were wide with curiosity and a little bit of fear as she crept towards the door. She walked down the hall on her tip-toes, stopping just before the foyer and poking her head in. There was someone by the door. She crouched down to her knees, careful not to make a sound as she watched. They opened the door after a second's hesitation and walked out. "Who the heck was that?!" she whispered once the person was already out the door. "Is Gambit sneaking out to a club or something? No wait...by this time he'd be sneaking back *in*." Jubilee decided to follow the person to learn more and quickly followed out the door, being as quiet as a mouse, which was normally pretty hard for the teenager.
---------------
Jubilee stalked the mysterious figure all the way to the mansion's gates before she realized who it was. As the person walked under the streetlight, the girl supressed as short gasp when she finally recognized the face. It was Logan, the new guy. 'What is he doing?' she thought to herself. Jubilee caught sight of an old backpack (probably 'borrowed' since he was brought to the mansion with the clothes on his back) on his shoulder as he began walking down the street after lighting a cigar and sticking it in his mouth. 'Is he leaving?' she thought sadly, keeping in the shadows. Jubilee decided to follow him further and see where he was going.
---------------
Logan had smelled his little stalker a long while back, before he even walked passed the kitchen at the mansion. He had kept his mouth shut only because he was somewhat curious what the girl planned on doing and how far she was going to follow him. Now that he was getting further and further from the mansion, Logan was starting to think it wasn't such a good idea to ignore the fact that Jubilee was following him. He ducked into an alley quickly and positioned himself with his back against the wall of a building.
Logan watched Jubilee curiously round the corner, and he caught her by surprise, jumping out and grabbing her by the collar of her shirt. "Got'cha."
Jubilee's blue eyes were wide as she stared back at Logan's cold gaze. She smiled timidly, coughing as a puff of smoke from his cigar blew into her face. "Second hand smoke's a killer ya know dude."
Logan growled, letting the teenager go. He watched as she adjusted the wrinkles in her pajama shirt and stared at him defiantly. "What're ya doin' followin' me kid?" he rumbled, somewhat angrily.
Jubilee just pointed a finger at his chest. "First you tell me how ya knew I was following you."
Logan sighed, quickly replying, "Enhanced senses. I could smell ya, and hear you a block away."
Jubilee was about to retort and say she was being quiet but decided against it, leaving her mouth hanging open for a second.
He growled. "Now answer my question."
The teen just shrugged. "I dunno, I wasn't sure who it was...so I followed you. Then when I saw you under the street light, I saw your backpack and well..." she stared at him with a questioning look, almost sad. "Are you leaving?"
Logan frowned, looking down at the street. Then, before he could answer the kid's question, a scent caught in his nostrils and his head shot up, alert and also a little scared. "Go hide in that doorway over there!" he yelled, pointing to a well-shadowed doorway in the alley near a dumpster.
Jubilee was taken aback slightly. "Wha-?!" she just stared at Logan like he was crazy.
"Now!" he barked.
She did as she was told, quickly jumping into the shadows. Jubilee peered out slightly, curious as to what was going on. She looked down at her feet with a sigh, thankful that she had worn slippers and wasn't barefoot.
Logan stood in the alley, his eyes darting around in the dark until they fixed themselves on a group of men coming from the street. He unsheathed his claws with a loud *SNIKT!*
Jubilee held her gasp of surprise, having never seen Logan with his claws before. She didn't even know that he *had* claws. She covered her mouth, still looking on from the shadows.
"Why don't you people just leave me the hell alone!" Logan snarled at the men who were wearing armor and seemed to be heavily armed.
"Just orders Wolverine. It isn't personal." One of the soldiers said with a smirk, the others just laughed.
"Well it is ta me." he growled back at them, crouched low and ready to strike.
Another soldier grinned, quickly pointing his weapon at Logan and pulling the trigger.
Jubilee closed her eyes as she watched the man pull the trigger, pointed right at Logan. She forced herself to open her eyes again when she heard a growl from him. It only looked to be a tranquilizer dart, and Logan seemed to be alright, but swaying a little on his feet.
The first soldier that had spoken turned to the others. "Hit him a few more times to knock him out, then load him in the van."
Jubilee's eyes widened, and she couldn't hide and do nothing any longer. She jumped out of the shadows, using her 'pafs' to blind the soldiers as they looked up in surprise. She grabbed Logan by the arm and started running. "Let's get out of here!!"
Logan took another hit from a dart in the back of his shoulder from the blindly shooting soldiers as Jubilee dragged him down the alley. "What the hell're...you doing?!" he slurred, trying to shake off the effects of the tranquilizers as his healing factor was getting a chance to deal with them.
"Running back to the mansion! I bet the Prof. can help!" Jubilee squeeled as she fearfully kept running. "C'mon, I know a short cut!" she told him, ducking into a side street and into some back yards.
Logan was too busy fighting the sedatives to argue, so he just let the ambitious teenager lead him on.
