By the time 6:00 rolled around, two things had happened. One, Jean had brought a table into her room and filled it with snacks, and two, all of the boys had heard about their little "lockdown".
In fact, they were in their own meeting right now.
"It's just not right!" Bobby exclaimed.
"Vhy do zey need a break from us, anyvay?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah. And we can't do ANYTHING without them here because if we do, tomorrow they'll complain that we never do anything fun with them."
"Yeah!" There was various shouts of agreement from around the room.
"Guys!" Scott yelled. He was ignored, though. "GUYS!!!" They calmed down that time. "Guys, I understand you're all a little hurt that the girls didn't include us. Trust me, I am, too. Jean and I hardly ever do anything without each other. But this isn't the way to handle it." The leader of the X-Men spoke calmly.
The room was quiet for a moment while they let the information sink in.
"Your right..." Bobby sighed and paused. "We should handle it by spying on them!!!" There was a loud roar of agreement from the guys.
"Guys that's n-" Scott started.
"You and Jeannie share a bathroom, right, Fearless Leader?" Gambit interrupted.
"Well, yes, but-"
"Then it's settled!" Ray announced.
"To Scott's room!"
Cyclops just stood there, staring at the empty space that once held most of the male population of the Institute. He sighed and shook his head before heading up the stairs to make sure the others didn't ruin his room.
-
Jean looked at the transformation her once clean room had undergone in less than 7 minutes. The girls had spread out their sleeping bags, Kitty and Jubilee deciding they were small enough to fit in Jean's queen sized bed with her and Rogue and X23 claiming her small fold-out bed that was normally inside her couch. She sighed, not really believing that her, Kitty, and Jubilee would fit comfortably, but not having the heart to say so.
"Okay. What should we do first, ladies?" She asked.
"How about Group Truths?" Rahne suggested.
Rogue squinted. "What's that?"
"It's where one girls asks a question, and we all take turns having to answer it. No passing." She explained. "Wanna play?" Everyone nodded or muttered an okay.
"Let's go oldest to youngest with the people asking the questions and around the room with people answering." Amara proposed.
"Okay," Jean said. "That means I'm first."
-
When Scott got to his room, he found the other boys messing with the air vents in his room and the bathroom that separated his and Jean's rooms.
"What are you doing?!" Scott demanded.
"Shh..." Gambit shushed him. "Not so loud, mon ami!"
"Yeah, you want the girls to hear us?" Ray asked, pulling the vent screen out.
As soon as the screen to his bed room vent came off, they could clearly hear the girls.
"Hey, how did you do that...?" Scott asked, now curious.
"Piece of cake." Bobby answered. "We put Jamie into the vent in the bathroom. He put a super sonic ear thingy up to the vent in Jean's room. He came back out. We put a concrete slab in front of the air vent in your bathroom so it would echo to here, opened your vent, and yeah..."
"Well, that's pretty sm-" Scott started, before catching himself. "I mean, you can't spy on the girls!"
"Vhy not?" Kurt asked.
"Because... Because it's not right! That's why."
"Oh, let us have some fun, bro!" Alex argued.
Scott opened his mouth to speak, but whatever he was about to say was lost when he heard his girlfriend's voice through the vent in her room.
-
"Okay... Hmmm..." Jean started. "Oh I know. What does everyone think of love?"
"I think it's a wonderful feeling, falling head over heals, not being about to tell up from down or if you're coming or going. Very confusing, but wonderful." Jubilee responded first.
Kitty, who was sitting to her left, answered next. "Right now, I think loves stinks! Stupid Lance..."
"Aww... Come off it, Kit." Rogue replied. "When yer in love ya like it just as much as the next girl. You just got your heart broken, that's all." Kitty stuck out her tongue at her room mate, but smiled despite herself. Rogue returned the smile. "Love's okay. It's the guys that are annoying." Rogue finished with a laugh.
-
The guys all glared at Remy.
"What? Gambit has no control over what dat woman says, once so ever. Trust me."
-
"I haven't been around it long enough to have a real opinion," X23 answered.
"Aw, come one, Three! Give it your best shot!" Tabby encouraged.
Logan's clone sighed. "Well, I hear real love is better than family love and I'm starting to really like family love, so I supposed I'd like it."
"That's a good enough answer," Jean said, sensing that Tabby wanted to press the younger girl more, but knowing she shouldn't.
Amara was next. She smiled. "I've never been in love, but it sounds so great. I can't wait until I find the right guy."
Then it was Tabby's turn to answer. "Love's a great game!" The blonde laughed. Jean, Rahne, and Kitty, who had all been or currently were in love, glared at her. "Hey, I'm just kidding! No need to tar and feather me!" They all either rolled their eyes or smiled back, reminding themselves that this WAS Tabitha they were talking to.
"Love's the best thing in the world! Next to Jamie, my record collection, and Elvis, of course." Rahne ginned playfully. "It's makes you feel special."
-
They guys laughed and patted their youngest member on the back. Jamie just blushed.
-
Then Amanda. "Well... I think that if you find the right person, it's great." She had a sad, faraway look in her eyes, so no one wanted to push her.
Wanda was to her left. "Love? Never been in love. Don't know."
Tabby rolled her eyes at her housemate. "Wanda. Come on! That's not an answer! You know what love feels like or at the very least have an opinion! You just HAVE to with the way Todd's always after you!"
Wanda sighed. "I guess... I guess it's not so bad..." she said quietly. The other girls secretly wondered if she would say that had she had her old memories back.
They had made a complete circle back to Jean. I was her turn to answer before Rogue asked her question. Jean bit her lip before answering. "I think that while it IS important, you can fall in love at first sight and you can fall out of love just as quickly. But it takes time and work to build the trust and faith that make it worth while. That's why I think people always say the best couples started out as friends: The trust was already there."
-
"Dude, you're girl's deep." Alex commented.
Scott smiled. He had already known that particular opinion of Jean's.
-
The other girls blinked a few times and let that sink in.
"Wow, Jean. That was pretty powerful." Amara commented.
"Yeah. You must've thought about that a lot!" Tabby laughed playfully.
Jean smiled. "I suppose I have. I came across that answer when I was sorting out my feelings for Scott."
"You two are so lucky." Jubilee said wistfully. The girls all sighed dreamily to accent that point.
"You guys are being silly. You all will have something like what Scott and I have eventually. Just you wait." Jean replied. "You're turn, Rogue."
"Okay." Rogue answered. "If ya had ta pick a guys right now to be with fer the rest of yer life, who would ya pick? Let's go the other way this time."
That put Kitty first. She blushed. "Well, Amanda, please, please don't be mad or offended, but if I had to pick like one guy, right now, I'd hafta pick Kurt..." She answered nervously.
Amanda sighed. "Can I tell you guys something?" Everyone nodded. "You guys can't tell ANYONE, okay?" They nodded again. "Kurt and I's relationship is officially over as of Sunday. We decided to finish out the week as girlfriend/boyfriend but after that, it's over." She got tears in her eyes as she spoke.
Kitty went and sat next to Amanda, patting the older girl's back. "It's okay, Amanda. You'll find someone else, I promise. He's like totally not worth crying over. It just wasn't meant to be. I'm sorry I brought him up." Kitty cooed.
Rogue smirked at her friend. She had just given Kitty that same advice about Lance earlier that day.
Amanda wiped her eyes. "No, it's okay. Really. I shouldn't have reacted like that. You have a right to like whoever you want. Especially now that Kurt and I aren't together." She smiled and hugged Kitty. When Kitty left the embrace she went back and sat down at her old spot.
-
"Hey, are you okay, man?" Evan asked his room mate.
"Ja." Kurt answered sadly. Then he grinned. "A lot better after hearing Kitty say that, actually." He added good-humoredly. The other guys relaxed, glad that their friend was gonna be okay.
-
"My turn, huh?" Jubilee thought aloud. "Bobby."
"Really?" Amara asked.
"Yeah."
-
The guys all whistled and smirked at the blushing Iceman.
-
"Is it really necessary to ask me?" Jean mused. "I think I've made it painfully obvious that I plan on being with Scott for the rest of my life."
"Well... I don't like this question, mind you, but if I had to pick... and don't laugh... I guess... maybe... Todd," Wanda answered. Everyone stared at her in disbelief and Tabby, despite her best efforts, let a giggle or two slip out. "Well, you have to understand, he's the only boy that's ever really cared about me. And if he'd shower every once in a while, the little slime-ball might not be so bad, you know?"
Tabby all out laughed and narrowly dodged a hex-bolt, something she had gotten used to doing when she moved back in with the Brotherhood. "Wait until Toad hears you said that! He'll be on cloud nine for weeks!"
"You tell him and I'll kill you, Boom-Boom." Wanda said. It wasn't a threat. It was merely a statement and that was how Tabby took it. She just grinned widely at Scarlet Witch and that was the end of it.
Amanda was next. "Well... that blonde haired boy's really nice and cute. His name's Sam, right? Can I pick him?" she asked. The other girls giggled.
"Of course you can!" Amara replied.
"Alright then, I pick Sam." Amanda finished.
-
Sam smiled goofily.
Ray and Roberto shook their heads at him.
-
Rahne's turn. "Jamie, of course. Wouldn't it be just horrible if I didn't pick my boyfriend?" She laughed.
"Well, we wouldn't judge you, anyway," Tabby answered. "I think... hmm... you think I should pick Speedy?" She asked, though she wasn't actually looking for a reply.
"My brother?!" Wanda asked her housemate.
"Hmmm... yeah... I pick Pietro." She finished.
"And I'm gonna pick Ray. I LOVE his hair!" Amara said. The other girls laughed. "What? It's really nice." She giggled.
X23 was quiet for a moment. ~Jean?~
~Yes?~
~Do you think it would be okay for me to like Alex?~
~Of course! In fact, if you really wanna know, Scott said he likes you, too.~
X23 smiled. "I would pick Alex." She said quietly.
Rahne grinned broadly. "That a girl. Never settle." She laughed.
"Yeah, he's pretty cute!" Amara agreed.
"Good pick!" Tabby and Jubilee said at once. Jubilee ginxed Tabby and the blonde girl sighed.
"Don't you just love his tan?" Kitty asked.
"And those eyes? Dreamy."
"Guys!" Jean said, blushing. "He's like my little brother."
-
"Geez. What was that?"
"My little brother, babe magnet. Who knew?" Scott commented.
Alex grinned. "Aw, they were just talkin'. It didn't mean anything."
-
Rogue said, "Well, Ah'd choose Remy."
"Another nice choice." Jubilee sighed.
"Yeah. And he so obviously likes you." Kitty agreed.
"Yer just saying that. Why would he like me?" Rogue blushed.
"Trust me. He's crazy about you." Jean replied. "Tabby." She said, getting tired of the girl's mental pleas for help.
"Finally!" Tabby yelled. The others laughed.
