After two whole hours of non-stop dancing Brennan and Shalimar made their way over to the bar.
"This is a nice club Bren!"
"I knew you would like it!"
The bartender gave them their drinks.
"Come on, I wanna dance!" Shalimar took her drink and pulled Brennan to the middle of the dance floor.
At sanctuary Emma was sitting behind one of the computers when she sensed someone entering the room "I was wandering how long it would take you to come back" she said.
"I never left I was in the garage" Jesse said.
"Oh"
"Look Emma, I'm sorry I yelled at you... you know before"
"Yeah that was hard to miss" Emma turned around and saw Jesse with a very sad look on his face "You know Jess I still don't understand why you don't like Bren and Shal together! I mean don't you think their made for each other?"
"Yeah I do think they are made for each other but Shalimar is like my sister and I don't want to see her hurt"
"Why would she get hurt?"
"Well Brennan is a lady hunter and he never had a relationship that lasted longer for a week as far as I know..."
"So you're afraid he sees Shalimar as a one time girl"
"Well..."
"Jess I literally felt his feelings towards Shal and they're no one-time-thing! They are real!"
"OK, If you say so..."
"...Jess?"
"Yeah?"
"Why the sudden change?"
Jesse looked down for a minute and then looked back at Emma "when I was sitting in the garage I just realised that as a mutant it's hard to find...you know... the one. So I am glad that Shalimar and Brennan did find that in each other. I really am but I'm just worried"
"Well I'm glad you changed your mind"
"How so?"
"Because now you can finally ask me out on a date" Emma said with a grin.
Jesse looked shocked but then started laughing "OK, Emma would you like to go on a date with me?"
"Well let me think...What will we be doing?"
"Have dinner, go to the movies maybe?"
"Can I wear my new dress?"
"Are you kidding me you have to wear that dress!"
"OK, it's a date then" Emma smiled.
Now Jesse was fine with Brennan and Shalimar being together maybe he could set his attention on her for a change.
Brennan and Shalimar walked out of the club to the car.
"This really is a nice club Bren"
"I know maybe we could go here again" Brennan answered with a smile.
"I'll hold you to that"
"Good..."
When they got to the car they stood still.
Brennan turned to face Shalimar "So back to Sanctuary?"
"No"
"No?"
"No!"
"Ok then where do you want to go?" Brennan asked confused.
"I told you before we left that that was my secret"
"Oh right! So what? Are you gonna kidnap me now?" Brennan asked with a laugh.
"Yep... Get in the car Bren!"
"Oh but I am allowed to drive?"
"Well I would drive but with all the drinks I just had I don't think that's a good idea!"
"Right I really don't want you to drive my car into a tree!"
"Oh! You and your precious car!" Shalimar laughed.
Brennan started the car "Yeah but not as precious as you"
And they drove of.
