A/N Okay so there's an extended scene in this chapter between scott and alison that had to be cut for rating reasons.... sorry folks, it's up in the director's cut on the other site!!

Storm awoke that morning feeling oddly refreshed. She hadn't had a nightmare in two days, making her wonder at what stopped them. She sat up in her bed with a yawn and looked out the window at the beautiful day that was already started. The birds had even taken to singing outside her window. As she tossed the covers aside and stood up to stretch, she heard footsteps climbing the stairs to her room. She was suddenly very glad she'd worn pajamas to bed and didn't have to worry about scurrying for a robe. As she pulled a hairband off the doorknob to her closet she pulled her long white hair up into a ponytail just as the knock sounded on the door.

"Storm?" Jubilee's voice called out from on the other side of the door.

"Come on in" Storm called back and heard her open the door and step inside. "How can I help you Jubilee?"

"I was just wondering if maybe you wanted to go into to town and go shopping with me?"

"I would like to Jubilee but I am afraid that I cannot. I told Hank that I would help him fix the controls for the danger room today."

"Really… oh okay." Jubilee replied with a slight sigh as she turned to leave.

"Jubilee, are you all right, you look very tired" Storm questioned as she walked towards the girl.

"I just didn't sleep very well last… it was the weirdest thing, I kept feeling like I was being watched. But it's nothing big, I mean if I was being watched, it could only be by one of the xmen, the sensors would have tripped off if anyone else was on the property… right?" She asked as she gave Storm a concerned look.

"Yes Jubilee, Hank just did a complete check on the alarm system last Tuesday, so you have no need to worry, no if you'll excuse me, I am in great need of a bath before I begin the day."

"Okay well I'll see you later I guess" she said as she closed the door and headed back down the stairs to the dormitory level. "I guess I'll just go out shopping by myself seeing as how no one will go with me…" she mumbled as she took the elevator down to the garage.

Bobby stood in front of the mirror examining his eye, he couldn't believe how bruised it had gotten overnight. "Dammit, I'll never hear the end of this one…" he muttered as he sighed and moved across his room to his bed. As he flopped down on the on the bed he could swear he heard yelling across the hallway, probably just Alison giving someone else a black eye for nothing. He was just about to flick on the TV when someone knocked on his door.

"Who are you and what do you want?"

"Bobby? It's Jean, the professor wants to see you right away. Bobby?"

"Yeah I heard ya."

He waited a moment and heard her footsteps recede, then noted the tone of her voice when she spoke, she seemed… worried. Shrugging it off he got up and rummaged around in his drawers for a minute before finding his pants, which he pulled over his boxers. As he was heading to the door, he figured he'd best put on a shirt if the professor wants to see him. "Wonder what it's about… not like I beat up the girls… hell they beat me up! Maybe I can file a complaint or something" he muttered as he walked out of his room.

A few moments later Bobby was knocking on the door to Charles' office.

"Come in Robert." He heard the professor call through the door, but when he opened it, he hadn't expected to find Jubilee sitting there.

"You wanted to see me?" he asked questioningly as he moved to the professors' desk.

"Yes Robert I did want to see you. Jubilee here was caught trying to hot-wire one of the school's cars to go shopping."

"Okay" Bobby tried to process the information without sounding guilty for having taught her how.

"When I discovered her actions and questioned her, she informed me that you were the one to speak to on the matter of how she learned to do such a thing."

Bobby gulped hard trying to keep himself calm. "I can explain" He said trying to cover as fast as he could think.

"You had best explain fast Mr. Drake, it was my vehicle she was trying to steal" came Hank's voice from the back of the room. Bobby hadn't even noticed him there, which is kinda hard to do, considering he's a huge blue furry guy.

"I wasn't stealing it! I just needed a way to get to the mall… no one would drive me…" Jubilee had to get her statement in before everyone turned on her.

"I taught her how to do it yes, but I taught her how in order to use it in emergency situations… like if she ever got kidnapped or something like that which would only happen if she were out wandering by herself or anything…" he started to ramble on nervous about the consequences.

"I see" was all the professor said, which made Bobby worry even more. Charles was not a man of few words. "Well seeing as how we have no real capital punishment system here at the school, I guess the best way to deal with this, is to have you teach a class on emergency escape procedures. In which you will teach all the techniques you have developed in escape maneuvers, and you will help Hank and Ororo do the maintenance on the danger room controls." Bobby groaned, not what he had wanted to do. "And seeing as how Miss Lee was so eager to go shopping, I feel that you should be the one to take her."

"WHAT? NO!" was all that Bobby could come up with. "You mean to tell me, that I get punished and she's getting away scott free with shopping included?!"

"I never said that Robert, Jubilee has her own punishments to work on, but I feel that this will help both of you in the long run. Now I don't want to hear anymore comments on my decision. Now you two should be off." Was all Charles said before returning to the paperwork on his desk. Bobby stood dumbfounded as Jubilee stood and smiling at him bigger than ever walked past him and out the door followed by Hank McCoy.

After a moment, Bobby turned and walked out as well following Jubilee down to the garage. "I truly can't believe what just happened…"

"Yeah neither can I!" exclaimed Jubilee as climbed into the passenger seat of Bobby's Jeep. "Cause I still get to go shopping, and now I don't even have to carry my bags!!"

"Oh you are so carrying your bags… I'm not you're manservant… just your chauffeur, and only for an hour!"
