#36 – Market
"On the market" was such an objectionable term in her opinion; she rolled her eyes at Logan when he used it and her newly single status in the same sentence; she was not on display, and this was not the grocery store.

#37 – Technology
"Cease fire!" she yells at him; but she's taken too much damage; she drops; she was dead; "You killed me, Logan," she growls; "You'll be respawned!" he says; "You are not supposed to shoot your teammate. See if I ever play FEAR with you again!" she yells back at him from across the computer lab, banging her fist on the desk.; "You said if it moves, shoot it," he yells back; "I DID NOT mean me!" she argues; "Look," he starts, "sometimes there are gonna be causalities…"; she throws her wireless optical mouse at him, nailing him in the forehead, "Oops," she says dryly.

#38 – Gift
Logan always leaves his gifts where he knows that she'll find them, but she knows he doesn't like it when she gushes openly about them; she makes a special effort to find a shirt to match the turquoise hairpins he left her, even though she doesn't like them much.

#39 – Smile
He sometimes wondered what went on during their "girls' night out"; they'd stay out way too late, then hole themselves up in Ororo's room; now, he knew, and he thought he'd be horrified if it didn't make him smile; they were dancing around Ororo's room, "AND I… I must confess I still believe. STILL BELIEVE! When I'm not with you I lose my mind," they sang together in perfect disharmony, using a brush as a shared microphone, "give me a SIGN. HIT ME BABY ONE MORE TIME."

#40 – Innocence
Ororo can only smile at his mild surprise at how experience she actually was in the art of lovemaking; she believes that a common misconception that most men have about her is that she's an ice princess in her personal life, that she had never been sullied by another person's touch; but she was no ingénue.

Author's notes: #37 is based on a real-life experience that just fit when I thought technology. #39… you don't even want to know. It's too scary to repeat in public—ever again. Don't worry about not reading these in order. You can read these in any order that makes you happy. 40 down, 10 more to go.
