"Jubilee? You there?" asked Jean as she stood outside of the asian girl's room.

"Come in!" came the voiced over reply.

Jean opened the door and Scout walked in. Jubille looked at Jean confused, and then went to speak.

"Whats up Jean? Anything I can help with?" she asked nervously.

"Jubes, this is Scout. Shes going to be staying with us for a little while, and the proffessor wanted to know if you could..you know. Show her around and let her room with her for a while until we can get a room ready for her."

Jubilee looked at Scout, who was frowning the whole time, and smiled at her.

"Sure. I'll room with Scout here, that is if she wants to room with me." she said. She held out her hand for Scout to shake it.

Scout looked at Jubilee's hand, and then looked down.

"Whats wrong? You dont know how to return a nice gesture?" Jubilee asked, frowning.

Scout looked up at her, smiled, and replied. "No. I just dont know you. Therefore, I dont trust you. Kapish?"

"Uh....sure..?" said Jubilee, and she sat down on her bed.

"I'll leave you two alone to get to know each other better." said Jean unassuringly.

After Jean walked out and shut the door, Jubilee went over to her daybed/fouton and started taking off her stuffed animals and putting them on her bed.

"What are you doin'?" asked Scout, offended.

"Clearing off my stuff so you can sleep here until we can get you a real bed." she said.

"Oh.." said Scout, as she looked at the floor again.

Jubilee went to a closet and pulled out 4 pillows and a comforter, and started to make the bed for Scout. Scout went over and took the pillows from her and started to help her make the bed.

"Why the sudden change of heart?" asked Jubilee, who was thrown off by the girl's former attitude.

"No change. Just guilt." Scout said flatly.

"Ah. I see." Jubilee replied.

After they made the bed, Scout Jumped in it and laid on her back looking at the ceiling, while Jubilee pulled out a magazine and started reading. Scout, not liking the silence, began to start a conversation.

"So..how long have you been here?" she asked.

Jubilee looked up from her magazine.

"About 2 years." she said.

"Ohh. I see." said Scout.

"Yep."

"So who else lives here?" Scout said, again not liking the growing silence. Scout hated silences, so she always had to either start conversation, or make noise.

"Well, Theres me, the prof, Kurt, hes from germany, he can teleport, Jean, you saw her, shes telekinetic, theres Scott, he can shoot lazer beems from his eyes, Rogue, who can absorb people's powers, theres Evan, aka Spike, Bobby." she paused at she mentioned Bobby's name.

"Go on." said Scout, wanting to get to know everyone before she met them.

"Well, Bobby is Ice-man, he can turn the moisture in the air into Ice, Amara, who can project flames and magma from her body-"

"Not as good as me, but go on." Scout interupted.

"Ok, Tabitha, she left for the brotherhood, ill tell you about them in a minute, Sam, aka Cannonball, Roberto, aka Sunspot, Rhane aka Wolfsbane, she can shape-shift into a wolf, and then theres Ray. He can electrocute things."

Scout perked up at the mention of the words 'Ray' and 'Electrocute'

"Whats Ray's last name?" she asked, now very interested.

"Crisp." said Jubilee. "Why? Familiar?"

"Wow...you know it.." Scout said, astonished. 'So this is where Ray ended up after all those years of living with the morlocks..atleast hes been doing good...wow...' she said to herself.

"How do you know him?" asked Jubilee.

"Me and Ray? We go WAY back. Long story. Maybe later i'll tell ya." she said.

"Ehhhhh okay." Jubilee said, satisfied. "Well, do you wanna go see them now?" she asked.

Scout looked up from her pillow.

"Uh...Sure why not?" she said, unsure.

"Ok, come on. I'll bet they're in Bobby's Room." Jubilee said, and she led Scout out of the room

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Come on! Dont die on me now!" said Sam, as he nervously held the controller of the video game that he had been playing with Ray, Bobby, and Roberto for the past half hour, while Jaime, Rhane and Amara sat on Bobby's bed and watched.

"Not..this...time...Crisp..." said Sam as he clutched the joystick of the controller.

"You guys prepared to be-" Bobby was cut off by the door opening.

"Hey guys! Whatcha up to?"

"YES!" said Bobby. "Score 4 for the Ice-Man!"

"A-hem. You've had your glory ice-cube. Now I want you guys to meet the newest addition to the family. Guys, this is Scout. Shes gonna be here for a while." said Jubilee.

Scout looked up at everyone who was now staring at her.

"Ugh...Hi I guess." she said, looking over at Ray.

'Wow..hes so different now...he got so big...' she thought to herself.

"Well, long time no see Scout-Girl." said Ray, smiling, walking over to Scout.

"Yeah, I guess so..Your so different now..." she said.

"Nice to know your alive." he said hugging her.

Scout didnt go to hug him back, but just simply replied

"Yeah...The same with you." she said. She could tell Ray was offended when he pulled back suddenly after she didnt return the favor.

"You didnt even look for me." she said.

"But I didn-" Ray was cut off by Amara.

"How do you guys know each other?" she asked.

"Long story." said Jubilee, repeating what Scout had told her before.

"Oh." said Amara.

"Well, everyone who doesnt know her, this is Scout Turro. Scout Turro, thats Jamie, Rhane, Bobby, Amara, Sam, and Roberto." said Jubilee.

Scout got a whole bunch of "Nice to meet ya"s and "Welcome"s from everyone, and returned everyone's favors by nodding.

"Well, its almost time to eat. Scout, I'll show you around the house for now." said Jubilee, but was cut off by Ray.

"No...I want to show her around. Please Jubes?" he asked with pleading eyes.

"Is that okay with you, Scout?" asked Jubilee.

"Uh.......sure..." said Scout, nervously.

"NO RAY! Your not. We didnt finish the gaame!" said Bobby.

"I'll fill in." said Jubilee.

"Ehhhhh fine." said Bobby, satisfied.

"Come on, I'll give you the tour." Ray said as he led Scout out of the room.
