Hi people! Sorry if it took longer than usual. I was working on a new fic on Van Helsing. It's called, "Van Helsing: Destroying Dratama, brother of Dracula," PLEASE read it if you're a Van Helsing fan. It's a Van Helsing/OC pairing. I know that most of you Van Helsing lovers out there like Van Helsing/Anna, but there are so many of those, so I decided to make up my own character of Van Helsing! Anyway, back to this story. Here's to all my reviewers:

White Wolverine: Thanks! I hope that there's enough fluff for you in this chappie!

Projecteve1: OK! But how much RoLo fluff should there be?

TigerStorm: there's not X34 in this chappie, but I'll add him in the next one if I can find a way to slip him in. wink, wink

Lightning Wolf1: OK! I would LOVE more RoLo fluff too, but I wasn't sure if the readers out there would want it. I'M SO GLAD YOU PEOPLE SAID YOU WANTED MORE ROLO FLUFF! J

Narcoleptic-Sheep: I know this is for chapter 1, but oh well. I know that they first chapter was kinda out of character, but that's because I was a naïve girl back then. The other chapters are better! Please read on!

NOW HERE'S THE NEXT CHAPTER!

Chapter 14

Ororo's Pov

"So whatcha thinking about, beautiful?" Logan asked, kissing me on the cheek. We were sitting on a bench outside the school because everybody was getting tired of us being so 'mushy,' as Aqua put it. I turned my head around on Logan's lap and smiled sadly.

"I was just thinking about Tidus," I sighed heavily, resting my head on his shoulder and leaning into his chest.

"Yah, I guess that the boy's story is really sad," Logan said thoughtfully, playing with strands of my hair, "I think that you should talk to him and stuff, since he's sitting there and everything."

"Where?" I asked. I looked around the garden frantically, but it was the sky was already getting really dark and I couldn't see past the shadows.

"Over there," Logan said, pointing to where Tidus was. I started to get off his lap, but Logan pulled back against him.

"Don't go," Logan begged, nuzzling my neck.

"But I have to…"

"No you don't," Logan said, "go later." I almost gave in as he gave me the cutest pout I've ever seen.

"I can't Logan, you know that. I want to talk to Tidus as soon as possible."

"Fine," Logan grumbled, letting go of me. Laughing, I gave him quick, but passionate kiss on the lips and he brightened.

"I'll be right back," I promised. Logan nodded and I walked to where he told me Tidus was. I found Tidus sitting all alone on the grass, leaning against the wall.

"Hi," I said as I sat down beside him, "So what's up?"

"Nothing," Tidus shrugged. For a moment, both of us said nothing.

"So, Aqua told me about what happened when you were little," I said softly, turning my head to look at him, "you want to talk about it?"

"You wouldn't understand," Tidus replied, looking at the ground.

"Yes I will," I said softly, "the same thing happened to me when I was younger." Tidus gave me a confused look as I leaned against the wall.

"Really. I'm not lying," I smiled, "I remember that I was five when it happened. My parents and I were at home. I was just sitting there, playing with my toys when we heard this huge rumbling sound. Before we could do anything, large boulders plummeted onto our house. The roof collapsed and--and my parents got trapped under the rocks." My voice cracked as I remembered the day my parents died.

"You don't have to continue if you don't want to," Tidus told me.

"No, I want to tell you. My mother ordered me to hide under the bed, and I did. I was all alone in the house. All I had was my doll. My mother talked to me for a while, comforting me as much as she could," I took a deep breath, "I remember I fell asleep and when I woke up, my mother wasn't talking to me anymore. I tried to get her to get up. I screamed her name, I shook her hand, I did everything I could think of, but she wouldn't get up. It was so dark, so dark in there. I was trapped in all the rubble for 3 days (A/N: I don't know exactly how long Ororo was trapped there. If you know, PLEASE tell me!). Three whole days in darkness and loneliness…" Tears trickled down my cheek as I remembered everything.

"I'm sorry," Tidus said.

"No, you shouldn't be. I was the one that wanted to tell you about this. Anyway, that's how I got claustrophobic. At first, I couldn't talk to anyone about it. I didn't talk to anyone and kept to myself. But then I met the professor and he made me talk about it to with him. At first, all I could feel was sadness, but then I felt all the pressure and sadness all leave me as I told someone about it," I said, looking into Tidus' eyes, "I want you to tell me about it. Trust me, I understand how you feel and I know that the only thing can help you know is to talk to someone about it." Tidus thought about it for a while, then he nodded and started to tell his story.

"I remember that me and my parents were walking down a dark street. We were going back to my aunt's house because we left Aqua there to go to a party. Aqua was only a baby back then and couldn't come with us. Then all of a sudden, we stopped walking. We heard loud footsteps coming my way and my day told me to hid behind a nearby car. My father told me to think of a big dog when I was hiding. My mother was crying when she said bye to me. I couldn't understand why she was crying back then, but now I do. She was crying because she knew that she would never see me again. I hid behind a car and thought of the dog, just like my dad told me too. I didn't know why back then, but I suddenly felt this strange feeling come over me and I was on all fours. I know why now. I had used my mutant ability and turned into a dog," Tidus took a deep breath and then continued talking.

"I heard all these voices and a rough voice told my parents to hand over the boy. My mother and father refused and told them that they would have to kill them to get the boy. They wanted me. I heard one of them start sniffing. He was looking for me, but he couldn't smell me because I changed my scent by turning into a dog. Another voice told my father that killing them would be easy. I chose that moment look back. I--I saw them kill my parents. They were killed because of me. They wouldn't have died if it weren't for me." His voice cracked and wiped his eyes with his hand.

"Tidus," I said softly, "it isn't your fault." I wrapped my arms around his body and hugged him. He started to cry even harder, his body shaking. I smoothed his hair like how my mother did when I was little and I whispered comforting things in his ear. After a while, Tidus stopped crying.

"I'm sorry for crying on you like that," Tidus said, wiping his tears with his sleeve.

"It's not your fault. I know how you feel," I replied.

"Thanks, Ororo. Telling you everything made me feel a lot better," Tidus gave me a smile that met his eyes.

"No problem, whenever you are sad, you can tell me about it. I can help you. Or you could talk to someone else about it. Everybody at the school cares about you, Tidus. Learn to trust them and you'll find yourself really happy," I said.

"I'll try," Tidus answered sincerely.

"Good, now go in and watch the movie with the rest of the kids," I said. Tidus nodded and gave me a smile before walking inside. I smiled happily. It felt so good to make someone else happy. I got up and was about to walk back towards the bench when I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist.

"Hey darlin', I missed you," Logan whispered into my ear. I shivered and Logan grinned. We sat back down onto the grass with me on Logan's lap.

"I never knew something like that ever happened to you, 'Ro," Logan said, turning me around so that I was looking in his eyes.

"You never asked," I replied, grinning.

"Ororo, I want to know these things about you," Logan said, holding my two hands with his own, "I really care about you and I want to know about everything that happened in your life. I want you to know that I can be the shoulder to cry on when you're sad, or the person to share your joy."

"You said the most poetic thing, Logan," I said softly.

"Well, what can I say? I'm a poetic person," Logan laughed, his eyes twinkling. Then he stopped, "I'm telling the truth, 'Ro. I really want to know more about your life. The happy and the sad.

"Fine, I'll tell you everything, but only if you promise that you would tell me all about your life when I'm finished," I said.

"There's not much to tell," Logan replied.

"It doesn't matter. I want to know all about the stuff you do remember."

"Fine," Logan grinned.

"So where should I start? Hm…I guess about when I was in Africa…" We spent the rest of the night talking to each other. We learned a lot about each other that night, more than we ever thought we would.

THE NEXT MORNING

"What put you in such a good mood this morning, Ororo?" Aqua asked while flicking the TV on.

"Nothing," I replied, trying to hide my smile.

"Oh come on, Miss. Munroe! Just tell us!" Rouge urged, sitting down next to me. Just as I was about to reply, Tidus walked in.

"Good morning everybody," he greeted, giving us a bright smile.

"Uh…good morning," Rouge said uncertainly.

"Hiya brother! So what put you in such a nice mood?" Aqua asked, clearly overjoyed that her brother was in such a good mood.

"None of your business, sis," Tidus replied, gulping down a glass of milk, "now if you'll excuse me, I have to go play soccer with Bobby and them."

"Tidus seems different," Rouge said when Tidus walked out of the kitchen.

"Yah, he seems WAY happier! He even called me SIS instead of Amy!" Aqua exclaimed, grinning ear to ear.

"You did something didn't you, Miss. Munroe!" Rouge asked as Aqua bounced up and down on the couch in happiness.

"Maybe."

"YOU DID!? YOU ROCK!" Aqua shouted, jumping over to me to give me a big hug.

"It was no problem, Aqua," I laughed.

"Good morning ladies," Logan said as he walked into the kitchen.

"Good morning, Logan!" Aqua shouted, jumping up to him and giving him a hug too.

"It seems like you're still your happy little self," Logan commented, then he turned to me, "Good morning, sweetie pie." He walked over to me and gave me a quick peck on the lips.

"Sweetie pie?!" Aqua and Rouge exclaimed.

"What's wrong with that?" Logan asked frowning. He sat down and pulled me onto his lap.

"OH MY GOSH! That is SOOOOOOOOO mushy!" Aqua said, "come on, Rouge, let's go outside and leave these two love birds alone." Rouge nodded and they walked out of the kitchen.

"Now that we're all alone…" Logan whispered huskily into my ear, "we can do anything we want…."

"Oh! I've always wanted to go to this restaurant by the lake!"

"Oh…uh…well I guess we could go there," Logan said, looking disappointed.

"Don't look so disappointed," I laughed as Logan pouted, "you like so cute when you do that."

"I know eh? But I'll never be as cute as you, darlin'," Logan said seriously.

"Oh Logan! Don't you ever get bored with flirting with me everyday?"

"Never, darlin'. Anyway, I'm not flirting with you, I'm just telling you the truth."

"You never get tired, do you?" I laughed.

"I'm serious, 'Ro. I think you're the smartest, kindest, and the most beautiful woman I've ever seen," Logan said softly. I didn't know what to say. I never knew that Logan could ever say something so sweet.

"I'm touched, Logan. You know what? I think that you're the smartest, kindest and the most handsome man I've ever met."

"How about hottest?" Logan asked, cocking his head to the side.

"Of course! How could I ever forget!" I laughed. Logan suddenly got up and scooped me up in his arms.

"What are you doing?" I yelped, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"I'm going to take you somewhere I found when I first came here," Logan replied, walking outside.

"Well, put me down, Logan! People are staring!" I said as a bunch of kids stared at us.

"I don't really care, 'Ro, and you shouldn't either," Logan replied, walking out onto the street.

"Are we going to walk there?"

"Yup. So if I were you, I would lean back and enjoy the ride."

I smiled and snuggled closer to his chest. I closed my eyes, enjoying the ride.

A FEW MINUTES LATER

I stirred in my sleep as I felt a rough, but warm hand rubbing my cheek.

"We're here, darlin'."

"I don't want to get up," I said sleepily, snuggling closer to Logan's chest.

"Get up, sweetie pie. The view is incredible," Logan urged. I opened my eyes to see Logan's face staring down at me.

"Where are we?" I yawned as Logan set me down on the floor.

"A place I found when I was in a bad mood," Logan replied, sitting down on the grass, his back leaning against the tree.

"Wow! The lake looks beautiful from here," I said, awed at the beauty of the sparkling, blue lake.

"I know. Whenever I'm mad or upset about something, I come here and just stare at this lake. It calms me somehow," Logan said thoughtfully.

"This place is wonderful."

"You can come whenever you want, 'Ro," Logan said, pulling me down onto his lap. I leaned against his chest and closed my eyes. I smiled happily as I felt the wind ruffled my hair. Logan buried his face into my hair and I felt him breath deeply.

"I love you, Ororo," Logan muttered.

"What!?" I said, turning around to face him, "what did you say?"

"Nothing," Logan replied, giving me a small smile.

"Tell me what you said, Logan. I know you said something," I urged.

"I--I said that I loved you," Logan muttered again. My eyes widened as he said this.

"It's nothing. Just pretend that I never said anything, 'Ro," Logan said, not looking into my eyes.

"No, Logan, look at me," I said softly, turning his head so that he was looking into my eyes.

"I got something to say to you , Logan. I love you too," I whispered.

"Really?" Logan said, a smile spreading across his face.

"Really."

Logan leaned forward and pressed his lips against mine. I poured all the love I felt for him into the kiss and I felt him to do the same. We finally separated to breath.

"I love you so much, Roro," Logan said, pressing his forehead against mine.

"Me too, Logan, me too."

And there's the end of another chappie. I know it's kinda short, but I wanted to update ASAP and stuff. Hope you liked this chappie and here's another poll:

How many chapters should I write without Jean and Scott:

1. One chappie would be good enough

2. Three of course!

3. SEVEN!

4. None of the above, I think that you should write (put how many chapters in the blank space)

Please email or tell me your answers on a review! Laterz!
