Author's Ramble:  Sorry for the delay (life's getting hectic) and for all the angst.  Don't worry, I'll progress the plot soon and the angst will be finished.  I appreciate your suggestions, but I've already finished the musical (last year) and just need to revise some songs and stuff before I post them. I also appreciate all your reviews.  It really makes me happy. :D  I don't know about you, but I could totally see Scott singing this song (the original, I mean).  It just fits him perfectly (he seems very "Herculean", in the hero sense), so it was perfect to revise as a song for him.  Oh and if you thought Scott was cheesy/corny before…just wait 'till you read this.  *laughs maniacally*

Act 4, Scene 2

Scott is in his room, looking through a photo album of his life at the X-mansion. He looks at pictures of when he was first there, when it was just him and Jean, and then at pictures of when Kurt, Kitty and Evan joined.)

Scott: I can't believe I've only been here a few years. And yet, it feels as though I've been here for a long time. It's great to know I am part of something, part of a group. I love being their big brother figure, the one they can look up to. It makes me feel like I can give back something to them; they've given me so much....

Scott's Promise (To the tune of "Go the Distance" from Hercules)

I have always dreamt

Of a happy home

Where a nice big fam'ly

Will be waiting for me

Where they will smile

When they see my face

And someone says to me

I am where I'm meant to be

I have found my home

It is with the X-men

They're my family

For them I'll be strong

We don't share a name

Our blood's not the same

But when I'm here with them all

I feel like I belong

(Scott flips through a photo album and reminisces about past times with the X-men.  Times when they've helped each other and good times they've shared.)

I'll be there for them

I'll protect my fam'ly

I don't care how far

They are all I have

Though we're not of kin

We're fam'ly within

I'll do what it takes to make

Them feel like they belong

Scott:  No matter what, I will protect them. I swear it.
