AN: This chapter takes place 4 months after the last one

"Come on Gray!" Anna shouted banging on his apartment door.

"You're crazy you know that?" He said pulling the door open. "Its five o'clock in the morning on a Saturday, and you want to go running."

"Oh come on yah big baby its just a little jog." She said as she took off running down the stairs.

Later that morning

"I hate you." Graydon said as he collapsed on the park bench. Anna rolled her eyes at him. "No seriously, I regret the day I ever befriended you. You're evil. You know before we met I SLEPT on Saturday mornings. But no, you just had to wake me up at five o'clock in the morning to go run four miles."

"Yah do realize we do this every Saturday and every Saturday yah whine lahke a baby." He groaned in response. "And tah think Ah thought yah would get used to it. Come on Sugah let go get breakfast. It's on me."

At the Diner

"Did yah lahke your breakfast sugah?" Anna Asked

"It still doesn't make up for the fact that you're evil. I haven't been up that early on a Saturday in… I don't know how long."

"Yah were up at five last Saturday, and the Saturday before that. And yah bettah get used to it because yah are mah jogging partner."

"Anna, you need to get a boyfriend and take him with you."

"Why would Ah want tah get a boyfriend when Ah got yah, Gray?"

"That is just sad. It's officially time to get you a boyfriend. Are there any cute guys at school?"

"No thanks." Anna said. "Ah swear, if one more sleazy Cajun hits on meh Ah'm gonna kill myself."

"Cajun huh? So tell me about them?"

"No thanks they're not worth mentioning." She rolled her eyes. "Oh mah Gawd,

Ah gottah go. I work in an hour." She said getting up and leaving him at the diner.

"Hey Mercy" Anna said as she walked into the restaurant she worked in.

"Hey Anna!" The blonde girl said cheerfully as she ran up and hugged Anna.

"Wow what got into yah Mercy." Anna said shocked at the girls greeting.

"Henri purposed!" she said showing her the ring.

"What?" Anna said shocked. "Are yah serious? Henri purposed? Gawd the ring is gorgeous!"

"I know. Can y' believe it?"

"Yeah. It's about tahme he purposed. So when am Ah finally gonna meet this guy?"

"Well I am goin' t' dinner wit' him and his brother in two weeks come wit."

"Are yah trying tah set meh up?" Anna raised an eyebrow at Mercy.

"Of course not," she said slyly. "But it is de bride's responsibility to make sure de maid of honor gets together wit de extremely sexy best man."

"Ah ain't getting together… did yah say maid of honor?"

"Would y'?" Mercy smiled at her.

"Ah'd love tah?" She hugged the woman standing next to her. "But Ah ain't getting together with Henri's brother."

"Why not, girl? Y' haven't been out on a date since I met y'. All yah ever do is work out or hang out wit dat roommate of y'rs. Its not healthy. Unless dere's something going on between y' two?"

"There's nothing going on between meh and Gray. Yah know that."

"Ok den what's wrong wit me setting y' up wit Henri's brother? Y' need t' get laid. And from what I hear this guy is great in bed."

"Ah'm gonnah pretend Ah didn't hear that."

"Oh come on petit. I won let y' meet Henri if y' don't. y' need t' cut loose. Y' are always going t' school, working, or exercising. Y' never do anything fun."

"Yeah Ah do. Why do yah think I exercise all of the tahme?"

"So y' mean t' tell me dat when y' lived up in New York y' exercised all of de time?"

"Yeah Ah did. Meh and Logan used tah work out together every morning."

"More about dis infamous Logan," Mercy rolled her eyes, "Chere he's not here and y' need to get out and have fun. What y' do isn't fun, its torture. Y' are going on dis double date wit me."

"Fahne."

They Call Me Orange: Graydon is more of a best friend then a Logan. He isn't going to have the over protectiveness. To answer your other question, yes other members of the X-men will appear. Most wont appear untill much later on but you will definatley be seeing kitty soon, and a surprise guest.

Bored247: I know how that sulk goes. it took me three years o convince my mom to let me do my room like that. But I'm so happy i did. Even if I did have to paint it my self, and buy my James Dean and Audrey Hepburn posters. But, trust me its well worth it.

Authors Note: I hope you guys like this new chapter. No Romy but as you can see Anna is settling into her life in New Orleans. I used this chapter to give an idea of what Anna's life was like and I told you a little about her past, but not much. Anyways please review!

URGENT: I am having massive writers block with my other story undecided. I'd really like you guys to help if you can. Please read it and give me any suggestions you can. I really need a new chapter to get me into writing it again. Please help. It would be very much appreciated.
