Author's note: I know, I know, haven't updated in forever! I have been SUPER busy. And with the up coming week of band camp and school just around the corner... I'll do what I can.

It had barely felt like a month had passed. It had flown by so fast, so much had happened. Shannon and Scott seemed to grow closer with every passing day. Her 4th period english class talked and chattered at the news they had received last period.
"Guys, guys." Shannon said, stepping to the front of her class room. "I know this is a lot to handle, but do you think you can focus just long enough for me to collect the homework?" The class quieted down as they passed their homework up the rows, and Shannon took each small pile, and put it onto her larger pile.
"Okay, the deliberation is in an hour, so this'll be your last class of the day. Who's got questions?" Every hand in the room went up. "Yah, Katie." She said.
"What happens if the Registration Act is passed this time? What happens to all of us?" Shannon lowered her voice.
"I don't know."

All of the X-Men were gathered in the Professor's office in front of the T.V. awaiting the Senate's decision of wether or not to pass the Registration Act. This one wasn't the same as it had been back in 2001.
This one was more improved. Better for humans. Bad for Mutants.
"All of my kid's were freaking out." Shannon told Scott as he sat down next to her on the couch.
"They all wanted to know what was going to happen if this bull shit gets passed."
A member of the Senate appeared on the screen. All of the student's sat, dead silent, their eye's fixed on the T.V. in the main living room.
Shannon squeezed Scott's hand harder.
"After reviewing all the facts and issues and after much deliberation." He paused, like he was drawing it out for dramatic effect.
"We, the Senate, have voted to pass the Registration Act."
