Thanks to everyone who reviewed. This is probably not the format I'm going to write the whole story in, by the way.

This chappie is dedicated to Pomegranate Queen! Your kind words keep me writing!

"Jubilee!" Bobby exclaimed, his eyes going wide.

"You said anything..." she replied in an innocent tone.

"Forget it!" he stated. "I am NOT doing that."

-

"Somevon's here to see you." Kurt announced, BAMFing into Sam's room.

"Who?" he asked. But Kurt was already gone.

Shrugging, he wandered down the stairs.

"Amanda!" he exclaimed, catching sight of the girl.

"Hi, Sam." She smiled.

-

"I can't believe I'm doing this..." Bobby muttered, coming out of his room, dressed in a purple gorilla suit. Jubilee laughed as he stepped into the hall. "I hate you."

She smiled. "Here." She put a sign around his neck that said I'm a member of the Jubilee fan club.

Iceman glared at his best friend. "Why must you torture me so?"

Jubilee shrugged happily and took his hand, leading him out to the balcony. "Okay, go."

"Ugh." He sighed. Then, louder, "Jubilee is the best... No one can beat her... No one could replace her... Jubilee is the best..."

"With a little more feeling this time." Jubilee urged.

"Jubilee is the best. No one can beat her. No one could replace her. Jubilee is the best."

"Come on! Louder!"

"Jubilee is the best! No one can beat her! No one could replace her! Jubilee is the best!" He yelled. "Better?"

She looked over the balcony and saw several people staring up at him. "Perfect."

-

"Oh, really?" Amara asked. "What kind of summer business?"

"Oh, I really can't tell you until Alex is with me..." Ray replied. "We're not even sure we want to do it yet."

"Ray..." Amara whined, giving him sad puppy dog eyes. "I wanna know..."

"Well... I'll give you a clue." He replied, starting to walk down the stairs with her. "It has to do with animals..."

-

Rogue walked out of her room, closing the door behind her. She turned toward the stairs and immediately bumped into something, knocking her to the ground.

"Whoa, careful there, Cher." Looking up, she saw that it was Remy. He held out a hand for her. She placed her own in it and he pulled her up.

"Sorry." She muttered, brushing herself off.

"Where are you off to in such a hurry?" he asked.

"Nowhere. Just tired of hanging out in my room." Rogue answered.

"Well, dat's perfect. Gambit's been meanin' to talk to you." He replied.

"Alright. Start talkin'." She requested.

"Let's go somewhere a little more... private, shall we?" He said, leading her into his room.

-

"We're here!" Tabby yelled, sliding in the back door of the mansion.

"Who's here?" Amara asked, coming into the kitchen with Ray.

"All of us!" the blonde exclaimed happily. "We're gonna crash here for a couple of weeks!" Pietro, Todd, Wanda, Lance, and Fred came in behind her.

"Great!" Amara responded.

Ray looked a little more concerned. "I'm not sure if Scott will let you stay, Tabitha..."

-

"There!" Rahne started. "All done!"

"Yeay!" Jamie cheered.

"Now there's just one more thing..." she added.

"I'm tired. What is it?" he asked, dejected sounding.

"This..." she pressed her lips on his for a short kiss.

"Oh, I think I have enough energy for that..."

-

"Alex, did you hear that?" X23 asked, sitting up.

"Hear what?" he asked, giving her some room.

"It sounded like... the back door opening and something really big coming through..."

"Wanna go check it out?" he asked, knowing she did.

She nodded and went out of the room with him following.

-

"Have you two seen Kitty?" Kurt asked, coming into the common room. Jean and Scott were sitting on the couch, Jean's head on his shoulder and his arm around her shoulders.

"Nope."

"Sorry."

"Flusch." He muttered. "Zhe only time I've seen her all day, she ran into her room! I zink she's avoiding me."

"She probably is." Scott stated.

"I would." Jean added.

"Vhy? None of zhe other girls are avoiding the guys!"

"Well, this is a little different." Jean explained. "She had a crush on you when you were both seeing other people. It's embarrassing."

"So?" Kurt replied. "Scott had a crush on you vhen you vere both seeing other people!" he added, frustrated.

"I don't know, Kurt." Scott said, a little embarrassed at that being brought up. "Why don't you check her room?"

"Fine." He replied, porting away.

Will Scott let the BoM stay? What does Amanda want? What does Remy want? Will there ever be a time when no one is making out? The answers to all of these and more, next time!

Next time on Of Second Shots and Summer Plots:

"Tabitha! That's mine!" Ray yelled. "Wait! Don't touch that!"

"Oh, don't be such a baby, Ray!" the blonde responded. "It's not every day you get to ride a live giraffe!"

"Yes, but this is my BEDROOM!"
