Hello all! Sorry it's been awhile…don't worry though, only two more weeks of school left! After that I'll be ready to take this thing and run with it.

Enjoy!

Sunlight peeked through the curtains, its light strands falling on Rahne's sleeping body.

It seemed like the perfect day, until…

SLAM

"Oh my God! I cannot believe it! Rahne, wake up! You are going to LOVE this news."

Amara, with no thought to her sleeping roomate burst into the room, pulled the covers off Rahne and started talking non-stop.

Rahne groaned, pulled the covers back up to her chin, and smashed a pillow over her head.

"Not now lassie," she growled "Can' ya see 'at a girl be needin' 'er rest!"

"That can wait," Amara sneered, "besides, while the rest of us were working our butts off in the danger room you, my dear, were in here sleeping. I think it's time for you to wake up."

"Iffen ya don' leave meh alone I'm gonna go wolf on yer arse!" The young girl practicaly screamed at her friend from under her pillow.

Amara shrugged it off, she was used to Rahne's temper. Besides, Amara always got her way, she knew Rahne would never hurt her.

"Fine, sorry, didn't know you were not ready to get up."

Rahne humph-ed loudly and tried to return to sleep.

Amara, not used to being ignored, however, couldn't contain her excitement.

"Come on, you know you won't be able to get back to sleep! And I'm sure you'll just adore this news!"

Curiosity peaked, Rahne pulled the pillow off her head.

She sat up and cocked her head in her usual fashion that told Amara to continue.

A very smug Amara did just that.

"Well, you see," she continued, "The professor seems to think that since he has cooped us up in the mansion for so long…

You have no idea.

"we should have a dance! Is that not awesome? We are gonna invite some of the kids from school and have a dance! Well, the professor called it a social engagement with mixed company and perhaps some extraneous activities, but I take is as a dance!"

Rahne grinned wolfishly and silently thanked the professor, if she couldn't go out, the party could come to her.

" oo's organizin' the thing?" she asked

"Well, duh, Jean and Scott are in charge of most of it. But I totally signed you, me, Roberto, Jubilee, Bobby, and Sam up for decorations."

"Ya did Wha'? Do they know tha' ya did that?"

"Well…" Amara twirled a long strand of her black hair around her finger with sheepish look on her face. "They will soon."

"Ye better go 'n tell 'em before they be findin' out from someone else." Rahne advised.

Amara rolled her eyes and got up, "I guess," she mumbled and walked out, closing the door roughly begind her.

"Oh," she said, sticking her head back in, "Logan said that you are expected to report to the danger room in half and hour to make up for your missed session last night."

Rahne expected her to smirk but Amara showed a bit of pity, which made Rahne nervous. Logan was going to go hard on her.

Rahne sighed, she didn't really mind the danger room, it was this new "project" Amara had signed her up for that she wasn't thrilled about.

As much as she wouldn't mind working with her friends, decorating was not her thing.

'Oh well,' she thought 'it'll give me something to do while I'm cooped up here. And it'll be fun working with everyone.'

A picture of Sam immediately popped up in her mind and she growled at herself in annoyance.

'We're jus' friends!" She felt the need to tell herself. "nuthin' more, nuthin' less."

"ah think."

Rahne shrugged off the thought, it was one for another day.

She hopped out of bed, quickly showered, and ran downstairs for a super-speed breakfast before her death-er-danger room session.

Only two people were in the kitchen when Rahne arrived. She grabbed her bran flakes out of the pantry and sat down beside those two, who happened to be Bobby and Jubilee.

They were acting weird though, shooting looks at her and wispering to each other.

"ye maght as well be tellin' meh what ye's talkin' about," she said rather loudly, "Ah'm sure I'll be findin' out soon anyways."

"Oh its nothing…" Jubilee quickly lied

"Yeah," Bobby contiued, " we were just dicussing you and Sun-"

"Tans!" Jubilee nearly screamed, giving Bobby a quick kick in the knee, for which he doubled over in pain. "Yeah, uh, how do you keep your skin so, um, hehe, dark. Its really amazing you know, is it just a Scottish thing or have you been to the tanning bed, I mean wow, its like, uh, perfect."

"Well lass, there is this little thing I be callen' summer." Rahne answered sarcasticly.

Something weird was going on here. She looked from Bobby, doubled over in pain, but trying not to show it. To Jubilee, obviously sweating and with a fake grin on her face.

She shook her head slowly, muttered something about "Americans.." and left for her session.

As soon as she left Bobby was rewarded for his idiocy with a swify kick in the other knee.

"Ow! Dammit Jubes! What did I do!" He whined.

"DUH!" She slapped her head as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"You were about to tell her about Roberto!"

"So," an obviously confused Bobby ventured, "What's wrong with that?"

"What's wrong with that?" She glowered, "What's wrong with that! Hello! Earth to Bobby, did you ever think that maybe Sunspot wouldn't want us to tell Rahne he's asking her to the dance!"

"Well why not?" Bobby asked.

Jubilee groaned, "you," she poked his chest, "are such a-a guy!"

"Something wrong with that?"

Jubilee rolled her eyes, "I'm so out of here," she informed him and started walking away.

"Wait!" Bobby called after her, "Will you go to the dance with me?"

He was answered with a loud "are you kidding me? Now?"

"Um, yeah," he called back.

The response was a door being slammed.

"Well, I guess that's a no," he mummbled, "on to Amara."

Oh dear, I love my Bobby.

Well, I know this chappie was a bit short but I've been busy.

Some Rahm in the next chap I promise, along with some wonderful danger room action.

Oh, and by the way, I've worked out all the pairings for this thing, here they are…

Rahm (obviously)

Jubilee/Bobby

Amara/Roberto (eventually)

Kitty/Lance

Bit of Romy

Tabby/Ray

As you have probably figured out, this is new recruit centered so not as many of the "tried and true" characters will show up. Don't worry they will have their own fics soon.

Thanks for all who reviewed, I'll get up some credits next time!

Till then, R&R please
