I'm so sorry my people (sobs)! October, hasn't been a good month for me, actually it's been terrible! First my computer crashed and I couldn't find anyone to fix it for days, then I sent it to Comp USA and it took then aweek and a day to fix it. I got to go online for two hours before I went to sleep, which isn't nearly enough to write a chapter.
That same day I got my computer back Hurricane Wilma struck my city real, real bad. I lost power for about a week (give or take a day). When I got power back the phone line didn't work. I didn't have a phone for three weeks. My mom and I had to make our calls from a pay phone in a gasoline station. Sad right?
Now here's a few words to my patient reviews.
slickboy444: Omg. Your reviews always put this stupid grin on my face, you're so nice! Read carefully, the 'other purposes' are mentioned in this chapter.
strayphoenix: I'm sorry I forgot you! This time I'm reading from my reviews page on so that I don't miss anyone. Thanks.
marvlix: That's a great story! I love Daniel Radcliff! He's so hot (dreamy sigh), but
Scott is hotter. If you go to see the movie on opening night then buy the tickets earlier that day 'cause every girl and some guys are going to be clawing their way to get a ticket. I advise you to wear long pants and long sleeves. Lol. I told my friend the same thing 'cause she's as obsessed with Harry Potter as I am with X-men. Lol.
Thanks to jacx, Telepathic Angel, Wen1, jenskott, and Deh Maia.
"Is that everyone on our list?" Jean asked.
"Yep." Scott took his pen and crossed off Brotherhood on the list.
"I can't wait to see the Brotherhood. Wow, I never thought I would say those words." They laughed.
"And we finally destroyed all the tapes," Scott said.
"All but one, for our other...special purposes," she said with a gleam in her eyes.
"Where did you hide that one, anyway?" Scott asked
"It's tucked safely underneath the place where only you may go," she answered.
After thinking for a while Scott guessed "Your mattress?"
"Good guess, but no. In my underwear drawer." Jean said along with a giggle.
"That was my second guess." Scott said with an eyebrow raised.
There was a long period of silence while the happy couple were watching the sun slowly go up from Scott's balcony. Even though they had had almost no sleep, Jean and Scott were dying to see their work on display for the whole school to see. It was true what they say about revenge being sweet.
It seemed as though this hurdle that was thrown their way helped them be more comfortable around their friends and mentors. This was their chance to start anew. Maybe not entirely but by taking one step at a time. After knowing what it's like to be the punch-line of all the sex jokes Scott Summers and Jean Grey were almost certain that there wasn't anything they couldn't handle as long as they had each other.
"We should head downstairs. We don't want to be late again," Jean jumped down from her perch on the railing and started walking to the doors.
Before she could reach the dor Scott spun her around and gave her a long, hard, passionate kiss. Jean was caught off-guard but then recuporated and matched his lips, kiss for kiss.
"What was that for?" Jean asked once the kiss died down
"For being here for me through everything everyone said about us," Scott whispered as their heads were still touching to keep some physical contact.
"Just returning the favor, Slym," Jean's voice barely above a whisper.
Jean knew she had a stupid grin on her face and then decided to chew on her lower lip instead. Even though they were dating for months all the emotions that surge through her mind always leave her breathless. Jean hoped that the rush she got whenever Scott kissed her, weither it was just a peck on the cheek or a passionate kiss, would never leave.
"I love you, Redd."
"I love you too, Slym."

The car ride to school was mostly uneventful, just another bunch of teens talking about everything in the back. In the front, Jean and Scott were anxious to see their works of art. Since they hadn't told anyone about their attack on the Brotherhood they hoped this was enough of a warning to the students.
"Okay guys, get out so I can park the car," Scott told them as he stopped in the front of the school.
"Jean, aren't you coming?" Kitty asked when she noticed that Jean hadn't left her seat.
"I'll catch up with you guys later. I got to finish something," Jean answered.
"Translation: She's gonna use her time wisely and make-out wit' Scott in the parkin' lot," Rogue said to Kurt and Kitty as Scott drove off. They all laughed.
--xoxo--
Jean and Scott were getting out of Scott's car when they were cornered by, no other than, the Brotherhood.
"What do you guys want?" Scott asked with a smirk on his face. Both Jean and Scott were trying hard not to laugh at the Brotherhood, that might anger them more.
"This isn't over, Summers and Grey," Lance growled.
"Actually, yes it is, if you deleted that website," Jean said.
"I did it first thing this morning! Please don't hurt me!" Toad screamed.
"What if we didn't delete the website?" Lance inched closer and stared straight into Scott's face.
"Then we would've blackmailed you with pictures of you sleeping with your stuffed...what was it?...stuffed hippo?" Jean smiled and led Scott in the school before he stomped on Lance. Before the door closed they heard loud bellows from everyone except Lance.

In the hallway before first period
(da nah nah nah nahnah electric guitar music)
The Brotherhood stepped in school with their usual stride towards the auditorium, with Lance in the front, leading the group. As they passed their fellow students, instead of them cowering in fear of being the next victim to their fights, they laughed and laughed and pointed. Soon, the once powerful stride turned into afast-walk as they passed by Scott and Jean.
This time the Brotherhood was the victims.
I'm sorry I took so long. This hasn't been a good hurricane season in Florida nor in Louisiana. I'll try to make up for the lost weeks but it'll be hard.
In the meantime, I hope you guys find it in your hearts to pity me enough to review. Please!
