Chapter 4

Journey Begins!

"Storm, does it bother you if I bunk with you for a little while." asked Jean after Storm opened up to her knocking. Storm was a little surprised at seeing her there, but she waved a hand, giving her an invitation in.

"Jean what's the matter?" Orora asked after Jean sat on the spare bed, in the dorm room. Jean started crying uncontrollably. She was sniffling when Storm sat beside her. "Tell me everything, my friend."

"Orora, I fear I've lost Allen forever." Jean cried out.

Storm was surprised. She was sure Allen would have stayed with Jean and Scott. "I'm terribly sorry, Jean."

"Storm the worst is his real parents are Magneto and Mystique." Storm gasped at this comment. No wonder Jean was so hurt. Allen just didn't leave them; he left to be with their enemy. Storm sensed that Jean had more to say, so she sat quietly beside her and waited.

"Storm, I know you don't understand why I'm here right now and why I'm so sad that Allen left, so I'll explain. See Eric and I agreed that Allen should go live with him and Mystique for a month and then he could come back if he wished or stay with them. Well I was ok with it" she trailed off.

Storm finished for Jean. "However, Scott wasn't okay with this plan."

Jean took in a deep and continued, were Storm had stopped. "Exactly. He was furious that I would make such a decision. He stormed in on us, no pun intended." Storm nodded. "So he tells Allen he has one choice. Live with them or us for the rest of his life. Allen chose to live with Eric and Mystique, because if he didn't he would never know them. I agree with him in some ways. It's just that why would Scott do that to us? He loves Allen as much as I do."

Storm gave her friend words of knowledge. "Jean this maybe hard to understand. However, in human nature we sometimes push away the ones we loved the most."

Jean began to cry again. "Orora" she sobbed, "The problem is†I left Scott as well."

Storm's eyes widened, in surprise. "My friend, I am so sorry. You can definitely stay here with me, for as long as you wish. Now I am off to bed" With that Storm closed the light and the two women went to bed.

"I swear

By the moon and the stars in the sky,

I'll be there.

And I swear,

Like the shadow that's by your side,

I'll be there.

For better or worse,

Till death do us part,

I'll love you with every beat of my heart.

I swear."

As Scott finished singing to Jean, she was wiping away tears in her eyes. "Scott, that was amazing. I love you so much."

Scott had a weird look on his face. He looked scared, but also majorly happy. "Scott what is it?" she asked, afraid of an answer.

Without a word he dug in his pocket for a box. Once he had it in his hands he got on one knee. Jean's eyes went wide, but they held much joy. He took her hand in his.

"Jean, I love you, like no one else. I can't imagine a life without you. Will you give me the joy of being my wife? Will you marry me, Jean Grey?"

Jean was crying with joy. "Of course I'll marry you, Scott."

Scott smiled and opened the box. It was a beautiful ring. After he put it on her finger, they kissed a never-ending kiss.

Jean woke up crying. She had just dreamed of Scott and her engagement. 'Why is this happening to me?' she asked herself. Just then Storm woke up screaming.

Jean turned up the light with her telepathy. She got up and walked up to Storm's bed. She sat on the edge and hugged her best friend. "Orora, what's the matter? You seem horrified. You're trembling. Did you have that nightmare again?"

Once Orora calmed down, she finally spoke. "Jean, it's horrible. It felt and seemed more real then ever. Jean what ever is going to happened it will happen soon."

Jean was quiet. Then she gasped and nearly collapsed.

Storm was now terrified. "Jean what is the matter?"

Jean turned to her and announced in raspy voice: "It has begun. I can't sense the professor anywhere. He's not on this earth. The only way that I could not sense him is if he was not on this earth." Jean panicking turned into hysterics.

Storm had an idea: "Jean why don't you us Cerebro to enhance your ability to find him?"

Jean looked at her in despair. "Orora you know I can't use cerebro yet."

While Jean and Orora tried to figure out what to do, the rest of the X-men were all waking up from the same horrible dream that was now a reality.
