Author's Note: And now for chapter two, how are the boys doing? I know, the suspense was killing you. On another note, I will be gone this Labor Day weekend on a camping trip with my friends of college. So, if you email me don't expect a response until late Monday afternoon.

Scott paced back and forth in the foyer, wearing a path in the expensive carpet. Sitting on the couch, Hank and Kurt followed Scott's progress with their eyes. Logan leaned in a corner and the Professor waited by the door. The only one really nervous in the room was Scott, and noticeably so. He kept rubbing his palms on the pants of his tux and fiddling with his glasses. The Professor was quite amused and proud. He was sure that tonight would be one Scott would always remember.
"You've got to teach me to dance!" Scott said, whirling towards Logan who raised a single eyebrow at him.
"You don't know how to dance!" Kurt asked, laughing.
Scott glared at him, "I know how to dance, just…not like he can." Scott gestured towards Logan who was still leaning in the corner, arms crossed over his chest, watching.
"Dude, it's just prom, relax man," Kurt leaned back into the couch, "You don't need to dance like Logan."
"I just…just want…to impress Jean," Scott mumbled under his breath.
"Red'll be impressed whatever you do," Logan pointed towards the door, "Doc's on the other side, listening by the way." Scott groaned into his hands while Kurt laughed.
"I'll get it!" He said, bounding across the room and opened the door revealing Hope, with her ear pressed against the door.
"Hello," She said, blushing a bit, "Just checking to see if you're ready, and what not. Seems you are, so I'll just go get the girls, and…yeah…be right back!" She rambled while backing up towards the stairs.
"Well, why don't we wait at the bottom of the stairs? Kurt, the limo drive is bringing Amanda here, correct?" Charles said.
"Ja," Kurt said, glancing towards the window, "She'll be here any minute."
"It's more like two," Logan said, getting up from his corner.
"You know, my friend, it's a little unnerving when you do that," Hank commented, glancing at Logan with cold eye.
Logan ignored the look and shrugged, "Come on you two, let's get the formalities over with so I can get back to work on my bike." He pointed towards the open doors and Kurt bounded out, Scott followed looking like he was three steps away from a heart attack. Hank passed by Logan without a glance and Charles raised an eyebrow at Logan, who shook his head once. Charles let it go for now and followed after Hank, with Logan tagging along. There was still a dent in the carpet where Scott had been walking.
