I'm so happy, but for now, I only have 4 reviews….so remember, REVIEW after you're done reading! Here's to all those reviewed my last 2 chapters:

White Wolverine: Thanks for the tips! They help me a lot. And thanks for telling me that Logan's eyes were hazel. I hope you like this new chapter, and if there's something wrong, remember to tell me.

Bluemist418: Opps! I guess I spelled her name wrong. Oh well, she's evil anyway, so who cares! But thanks for telling me anyway.

ToughSpirit: I know what you mean! I hate Jean, even though I don't really know why. (no offence to all those Jean lovers out there, just my opinion) Maybe it's the way she acts, but I LOVE jean bashing! Do you know any more fics with Jean bashing?

Rolofreak1990: Thanks! I love the reviews that say that they love my work and that I should keep going! Inspiration for me! THANKS!

So anyway, here's the next chapter! Now sit back and read!

Chapter 3

Ororo's Pov

I gasped as I felt Logan's lips suddenly on mine. His kiss wasn't rough like I had imagined it, it was soft and slow. His hands rested at my hips and, somehow, my hands were wrapped around his neck. For a moment, we just laid there, kissing. Then I realized that I shouldn't be doing this. I remembered my promise to myself, I remembered that I promised myself that I would never love another man again. Thinking of Forge, I suddenly felt really cold inside. His voice echoed in my mind, "You'll never find someone that loves you, ice queen." I pushed Logan off me and got up from the floor. I avoided his gaze and pretended to be busy brushing grass of my jeans.

"I got to go, bye," I said quickly, I turned around and walked, actually ran, out of the greenhouse leaving Logan sitting there looking dazed. Once I was outside, I headed for the school.

Third Person's Pov

"The kids would rather go to the amusement park," Scott argued.

"No, they would rather go to the museum, it education and fun," Jean argued back, her green eyes flashing with anger.

"Educational? It's a CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY! The kids want to relax on it, not learn!" Scott exclaimed. They were walking towards the greenhouse to ask Ororo where the kids should go on their Christmas Holiday, the amusement park or the museum. They entered the greenhouse and walked in.

"Ororo?" Scott yelled. They walked in more and saw a something that made both of them blaze with anger. Logan was lying on top of Ororo and they were KISSING! Scott almost rushed out and punched him, but then Ororo pushed Logan off her. They both heard her say to Logan that she had to go. Ororo was in such a hurry that she didn't notice them behind the bushes. Soon, Logan left too. When they saw that they were both gone, Jean said something that they both wanted to say when they first saw them.

"HOW DARE THEY DO THAT!?"

Scott's fists were clenched angrily and his face was red. Scott had loved Ororo ever since he laid his eyes on her. But back then, he felt that he wasn't good enough for her. She had control of most of her powers, while he had to wear a pair of geeky glasses in order not to blast anyone. She was a goddess while he was just a teenager who couldn't control his powers. So when Jean began to flirt with him, he decided that he should go with Jean, she was more like him. Jean, too, had troubles controlling her powers. It wasn't fair! Scott, who loved her all his life, had never even kissed her once, but Logan, who she only knew for 2 to 3 years, got to kiss her! Logan had taken Jean away from him already (even though Scott never really loved her) and he was NOT going to let him take HIS Ororo away from him too.

While Scott was thinking about all this, Jean was yelling angrily to thin air.

"HOW COULD THEY KISS? LOGAN'S MY MAN! HE'S MINE! ORORO! IT MUST HAVE BEEN ORORO! SHE'S THE ONE THAT STOLE MY LOGAN AWAY FROM ME! THAT STUPID, LITTLE…" But before Jean could continue, Scott suddenly looked angrily at her.

"IT WASN'T ORORO'S FAULT! IT WAS LOGAN, HE PROBABLY FORCED HER INTO IT!"

"NEVER! LOGAN WOULD NEVER DO THAT! IT WAS PROBABLY ORORO!"

"SHUT UP OR I'LL BLAST A HOLE THROUGH YOU!" Scott's hand was already on his sunglasses. Even though Jean had powerful physic powers, even she couldn't survive a huge hole through her.

"We shouldn't be fighting," she started nervously, her eyes looking at Scott's hand that was still on his red sunglasses, "I mean, you like Ororo and I like Logan, so shouldn't we work together to get them back?" Scott thought for a moment and then brought his hand back down.

"Yes, we should," Scott said.

"Good," Jean smiled, showing her perfect white teeth. Scott had seen many frightening things in his life, but seeing Jean smile right now made him shiver.

Ororo's Pov

I walked into the warm school, my mind buzzing with questions. Why did I kiss him back? Do I really like Logan? What if he betrays me? Is he like Forge? My legs somehow led me to a wooden rocking chair that was facing the window. I sat down and looked outside. It was snowing lightly, each snowflake landing slowly on the ground. Every snowflake was different, each snowflake special in their own way. Maybe it's the same with men, maybe they're all different in their own way. Not all of them would hurt you, some of them might really love you. But then, what if I'm wrong? They might be different patterns and shapes, but that doesn't mean on the inside, they're not all the same. A lock of white hair fell in my eyes. As I raised my hand to brush it away, I heard Professor Xavier's voice in my head.

"X-Men, I have detected 2 new mutants. Please meet at the meeting room." I got up and made my way to the meeting room downstairs where Cerebro was. My problems would just have to wait.

As I stepped in the room, I noticed that Scott, Jean and Logan were already there. Scott smiled at me and patted on the seat of the chair next to his. Logan was sitting next to Jean. I could see that Logan was watching me as I sat down next to Scott, but I avoided his gaze.

"So 'Roro, do you have any idea who the new mutants are?" Scott asked, giving me a grin.

"I don't know, Professor Xavier never told me," I answered, putting a lock of hair that had fallen onto my face behind my ear, "I think that he probably just found those mutants." For a moment, Scott just stared at me, then his hand raised up and caressed my cheek. I didn't move, confused by his actions. I gave him a questioning look. I waited for him to bring his hand back down, but when he didn't, I put my right hand on the hand that he had on my cheek. I slowly brought the hand down.

"What's the matter Scott?" I whispered, worried about him. He looked deep into my eyes.

"Nothing, I'm just wondering why you're so beautiful," he said sincerely, then he took my hand and kissed the fingers softly. My eyes widened in surprise and I froze. Why was Scott acting this way? Was he flirting with me? Didn't he love Jean? Suddenly, I heard a low growl from across the room. Logan was staring at us with a murderous expression on his face. I immediately pulled my hand from Scott's grasp. I could feel the blush rising up onto my cheeks. Pretending to ignore Logan, Scott tipped up my chin so I was looking at him. Then he put a lock of my hair that had fallen into my face again behind my ear.

"I was just wondering Roro, would you like to go to this new restaurant with me on this Saturday?" Scott asked, twirling a lock of my hair with his finger. Before I could answer, Logan got up from his chair and walked over to us.

"Sorry One-Eye, but 'Ro is already going out with me this Saturday," he said gruffly, "isn't that right, 'Ro?" Scott looked at me through his red sunglasses. Even though I couldn't see his eyes, I knew that Scott's eyes was blazing with anger at Logan. I bit my lip, I didn't know what to do. I looked past Logan and at Jean. Jean was looking sadly at Logan with confusion. She doesn't know why Logan asked me out, I realized. I knew that Jean was feeling really hurt right now. Even though I really wanted to go with Logan, I knew that I couldn't. For one thing, I couldn't hurt my best friend's feelings. I knew that Jean loved Logan more than anything. And for another, I was scared that if I did go with Logan, I might actually fall more in love with him. Anyways, I needed to talk to Scott about the way he was acting towards me right now.

"I'm sorry Logan, but Scott asked me first," I said, trying to sound calm. When I looked up to see Logan's reaction, I felt like a knife went through my heart. Logan looked so hurt and sad. He nodded and sat back down on his chair. Scott was smiling from ear to ear.

"I'll pick you up at 6 o'clock pm tomorrow," he said, kissing me quickly on the cheek. I nodded and gave him a small smile. Suddenly, Professor Xavier came into the room on his wheelchair.

"Good afternoon X-men," he greeted. He slowly wheeled behind the desk that was in front of the room.

"I have detected 2 mutants in So Cal. I have decided to send all of you to looked for them because they both posses a very strong mutant power," Professor Xavier said seriously, "I have decided that all of you should go this Monday so you can make it in time for Christmas."

"But shouldn't only 2 of us go? The other 2 can stay to take care of the students," Jean suggested, trying to get Logan's attention. I knew that Jean wanted to go with Logan alone so that they can spend some quality time together. However, Logan didn't seem to notice Jean. His dark grey eyes were still staring at me. When I turned to look at him, our eyes locked for a second. I recoiled slightly when I saw the sadness and hurt in his eyes.

"These two mutants posses very powerful mutant powers. In order for you to be able to bring them back to the institute, all of you most go," he replied, as I tore my gaze from Logan's. Jean looked disappointed as she slumped down lower on her chair.

After Professor explained some more about these mutants, we got up to leave.

"Wait Ororo, I must talk to you," Professor Xavier said. I nodded and stayed behind. Scott gave me another huge grin and winked at me as he left. Jean wrapped her arms around Logan's arm as they left together. I felt a small tug at my heart but I ignored it. Xavier wheeled in front of me as I sat down again.

"Ororo, is there something going on with you, Logan and Scott?" he asked, concern etched in his voice.

"Well, not exactly," I responded, biting my lip, "Why do you ask that?"

"Through the whole meeting, I kept seeing Logan stare at you and Scott. His mind kept swearing at Scott and thinking up ways to kill him," my mentor laughed, "but I also sensed a deep sorrow when he looked at you." I looked away, biting my lip.

"Ororo, you are like a daughter to me, and you know that you can tell me anything," he said, as he patted my hand softly with his.

"Well, Scott asked me to go out with him this Saturday and I guess that Logan got jealous…" I said quietly.

"I knew that Scott cared deeply for you for a long time, but I can also sense that Logan cares deeply for you too," he said, "don't take them for granted."

"Oh professor, I'm just not ready for this, after…" I trailed off, I didn't want to mention Forge.

"Oh Ororo, I know that Forge hurt you a lot, but you must move on" he said softly, holding my hands in his, "not all men are like Forge."

"But it's just so hard," I whispered, then I started to cry. Outside, I heard rain splatter on the roof.

"Oh, my dear, don't cry," he said. Then he reached forward and hugged me, rubbing my back soothingly like he use to when I was little.

"I want to forget about him, but it's just so hard," I sobbed, crying on his shoulder.

"I know, I know, my child, but sometimes, many sorrowful things happen in our lives," he explained, "we can not control these things when they happen, but when they past, we can leave them behind. What has happened has happened, but what is the past, is the past."

Slowly, my tears ceased and so did the rain outside. I sat up again and wiped the remaining tears off.

"You're right, what is the past is the past." I said, giving him a small smile to tell him that I was alright now.

"Give it a chance, Ororo, I know that both Logan and Scott care a lot about you," my mentor said, "I know that they would never hurt you on purpose." I nodded. Maybe he was right, they did deserve a chance. Both Logan and Scott are great men, and I should give them both a chance. I just hope that I wouldn't end up hurting one of them.
