James and the press arrived in the evening.
Evryone in the mansion was eager to see him.
Rogue, Remy, Kitty, Colossus, Logan (A/N: are you surprised that Logan is here too?), Ororo, Tabitha, Betsy, Warren, Bobby, Kurt and Hank (in a image-induced form like Kurt) were all present, along with Scott and Jean and Eva.
Eva had currently left her new invention, which was a sort of device that used up a lot of chemical substances and worked on the basis of chemical reactions. The little invention consisted of a box that gave out steam and made a lot of noise when it was working, and Eva thought that nightime would be the best time to get it to work, as everyone would be asleep. But everyone would get disturebed actually.
Somehow, Eva looked pretty mad about something when she saw the press arrive, although nobody seemed to notice why.
Jean was wearing one of her best dresses, and looked nervous when James arrives with the press. Scott seemed...uninterested.
Rogue generally did not get excited even when someone like James Marsden was arriving at their place, but somehow this seemed special.
"Ah'm wonderin' whah Jean's feelin' righh now," Rogue whispered.
"Well, like, she's gonna, like, go totally crazy. And maybe tomorrow we'll see Jean and him in the magazine or something!" Kitty said.
"Hmmm...I wonder," Ororo said, eyeing Jean and Scott.
"Well here he comes," Logan pointed out.
James came along with another person, possibly the magazine photographer and reporter. He seemed casual.
"Hi, Jean." James begun.
"H-h-hi," Jean stammered.
"These your friends?" He asked.
"Uh-hu-hu-huh." Jean replied.
He went right upto her. "Hi Jean, this is Ken, he's a photographer cum reporter,"
Ken smiled from behind him. So did Jean. She knew what James was going to do next.
"Can you pose for a photo, girl?" James asked flirtatiously.
Jean's smile almost faded. Time for some telepathy, she thought to herself.
"Or maybe we should just walk around." James suddenly said. While Jean was introducing him to everybody, Scott had slipped away and so had a very angry Eva.
Scott bumped into Ken, who was looking around their garden.
"Hello, sir, I'm Ken Washington, from Hello!" He said.
"Hi, uh, I'm Scott Summers,"
Now Ken was just a photographer and since James had come to the X-mansion, he naturally thought that all the residents there were pretty famous, so he tried to get some news for the magazine.
"So, can you tell me why James came here?" he took out a notebook and a pen.
"Uh, to see Jean,"
"Ah yes, Jean."

Meanwhile, Jean was looking for Scott.
"James, uh, why don't you get comfy while I get another friend of mine? He's really nice, too." Jean said politely.
"What, your boyfriend?"
"Um, I, uh..."
"Ah it's ok, darling, go get him here!" James laughed lightly.
"Ok then"

"Ok, so James met Jean at a party?" Ken asked, getting info into his notebook.
"Uh-huh." Scott sighed.
Ken put away his notebook, seeing Eva around the corner, so he could go ask her more.
"OK, thanks. Can I look around?" Ken asked.
"Sure."
Ken left him.
"Scott! Where were you?" Jean asked him from behind, running and panting.
"Uh...I thought I didn't want to...er...interrupt something." Scott sighed.
"What are you talking about?" Jean asked him, inching closer.
Ken noticed this. His attention changed to Scott and Jean.
"Well, he's you new boyf-" Scott started.
"My new WHAT?! Scott It's just that I'm excited of having a celebrity as a friend. Don't you want to see him too?" Jean asked, rather mad.
"Uh, no." Scott replied cooly.
Jean looked totally shocked. Then as if out of the blue, she grabbed his suit and kissed him on the lips. Hard.
He was shocked, but he kissed back.
//Whatever you're thinking, it's wrong.// Jean telepathically said.
//Oh yeah?// Scott shot back.
//What does the kiss tell you?//
//That your new -//
//That my new info about you and your silly thoughts are getting to me and I'm seriously going to do something about it now.//
As the kiss deepened, Ken took a lovely snapshot of that.
Then Ken came up to Eva, and took out his notebook.
"That Scott!" Eva thought to herslef, "He's such a big brat! He told to the papers about my invention and now the press has come to interview me about it! And he told me he'd keep it a secret! The nerve!"
"Hello, I'm from Hello! I'm Ken Washington, can you...er...tell me if something is going on with Scott and Jean? Something romantic perhaps? Are they getting married?"
"Uh! It was Scott who told ALL about it wasn't it?" Eva asked, without a hint of what Ken was talking about.
And poor Ken. He did not have an idea of what Eva was talking about. If only he knew she heard evrything wrong.
"Uh, no not exactly, but...tell me, is it a wedding?"
"That damn Scott! He told me it would be a secret, and he broke the promise and told you press people about it!" Eva said.
"Uh, I get it. But just between us, tell me all about it, has he asked her the question yet?" Ken insisted.
"Yes, I think so. It was supposed to be ready in May, but you know it. Always getting delayed." Eva sighed.
"I see. So tell me more,"
"Yes exaclty. Powered up by chemical reactions. You get me?"
"Perfectly. Go on." Ken said, hiding the smirk that he felt on hearing 'chemical reaction'.
"Yes, of course. A lot of chemistry is involved. Initially, I thought that biology wouldn't be involved but then again, nothing goes planned does it?"
"I understand. .Please go on, It's very nice to have some sweet romance these days," Ken stated, hiding his growing laughter.
"Yes you are right. So then it gets very steamy, and a lot of noise is caused, much to our displeasure.Everyone feels very irritated, specially because it happens at night" Eva explained.
Ken was now laughing.
"You think it's funny? Well it's not, and when it's finally over-"
"What, you mean the wedding?"
"yes, it does needs mending, but as I was saying, when it's over, the whole world would be so amazed that all day they'll be thinking about it, because it's one of a kind," Eva said.
"Thank you for all this, Miss Eva Miller," Ken stated, packing up his book and pen.
"Yes, but, now that the secrets' out, will you print it on the cover story and the cover page? Will you take a picture?"
"Yes, of course I will put it as the cover story, and yes, I have a picture already, do you have any nice ones?"
"No, no no I have plenty of pictures. There's one where it gets steamy, one in which the chemical reactions take place, and one in which all the biological phenomenon of it is explained. Which one would you like?" Eva asked.
Ken was slightly taken aback. He did not want to publish any 'steamy' or 'chemical reaction' or 'biological phenomenon' - realated pictures , so he simply stated, "No thank you , I think I have a nice photo of a kissing scene, thank you anyway,"
Then without a word, he left.
Unaware to anyone, not even Eva, or Jean and Scott, what the next day would bring, James and Ken left the X-mansion.
"I can't believe he left, like, so fast," Kitty said.
"Oh he needed a little nudging," Jean whispered.
"What?! Why ya do that sugah?" Rogue asked, surprised.
"Well, Scott seemed troubled, so I..."
"Oh Ah see it all..." Rogue tried to hide her smile.
"Rogue!" Jean protested.
"Ah just mean, sugah, Ah'm very happy foh ya," Rogue said sweetly.
"Oh, like as if we're any less happy for YOU," Kitty said, poiting to Remy.
"Ah! C'mon, girl!" Rogue protested.
"Am I missin' somethin', ladies?" Remy popped in.
"No, seems like you both are...missing the point, Remy," Kitty put in, gesturing Rogue and Jean to come with her. "Eva, come along, I bought you some of those, like, hearing ear-aids or something,"
