I do not own any of the characters. Borrowed material from Stan Lee, Chris Claremont, and Bryan Singer.
Note (IMPORTANT):
I am so sorry that I have not updated in a long time. I got sick during spring break, then school started, then homework started pilling up, then my personal life at home got really screwed up. So as you can see life turned bad for me for awhile. But it did give me some time to write this chapter and a few more stories. I'll try and update again in a few days.
Thank you to all my reviewers!!!!!
Check out my other story in the Comics: X-Men, called 'True Secrets'. Thanks. Please read and review. ^_^

Chapter 3
[Jubilee's POV]
You've got me knocked out turn me inside out
It's you that makes my heart beat
You've got me knocked out
Baby there's no doubt
You swept me off my feet
"That's right. Left, right, left, right. Move your feet. That's it."
Have you ever listened to a song and couldn't help but sing along with it? Or dance to it? Well it happened to me. A song that I liked from Paula Abdul, 'Cold Hearted', came on the radio and I couldn't help but sing and dance to it. What I didn't know was I had an audience. Only after I was done did I notice most of the other students watching me. And now here I am teaching the female population of the school how to dance.
"Now side to side to side."
"Jubilee why don't you show us how you would dance to this song," Theresa Roake a.k.a. Siryn suggested.
"Why are you so eager on learning how to dance especially my kinds of dance." My kinds of dances aren't exotic or anything, but it will turn a few heads in my direction. "It's not because of Jamie is it?" I teased her, I knew she had a crush on Jamie Madrox, the only guy in the school that could actually keep up with her.
"No!!"
"Are you sure, Trace?"
"Yes, I just want to know how you move like you do, that's all. I find it very graceful and most beautiful."
Wow. I have never heard anybody call me graceful before. It must be because I took dance and gymnastics since I was three. After Tracy's compliment, I caved in. "Okay, all of you just watch me."
I turned up the radio that played 'Knocked Out' by Paula Abdul. I started to get the beat in my head and started moving to it. I made up my own steps, well borrowed some from Britney, J. Lo, and Christina actually, but it looked like they were my own moves.
You've got me knocked out turn me inside out
It's you that makes my heart beat
You've got me knocked out
Baby there's no doubt
You swept me off my feet
By this time, I noticed that all the students who were in the courtyard playing now stopped and watch me dance. One of these students was John. He sat down on a stone bench a few yards away with an amused look on his face.
I want us to be closer, boy I wanna be
Startin' somethin with you baby
My heart is steady knockin boy you've got my body rockin,
caught blow-by-blow, love T.K.O.
I was singing along with the song and moving my hips and stomach like a belly dancer, kind of like Shakira.
Knock me, Rock me
Knock me, Rock me
You've got me knocked out turn me inside out
It's you that makes my heart beat
You've got me knocked out
Baby there's no doubt
you swept me off my feet
When the song ended, so did my dance. I actually got an applause.
"Wow, Jubes that was cool," Kitty Pryde said.
"Yeah, Jubes. I have never seen any girl dance like that before," Jamie told me. Guess he has never seen a dance video before.
"Thanks guys, it was nothing."
I looked at all of their amazed, excited, shocked faces until I looked to where John was. His face was sort of like in admiration or something, then he gave me a wink and left to go inside.
I needed to talk to him, so I started to go after him until I heard a motorcycle. I stopped in my tracks and headed toward the noise. Then I saw him, the man that Rogue called Logan. I have never seen him this close or clear before. I mean I did see him when he and Rogue first came here a few months back, but not long enough to make his face stick in my mind.
Now that I look at him he ain't all that bad looking. He is actually kind of cute. I then noticed most of the students were all looking at him saying 'That's Logan' or 'Logan's back.' Then Logan got off his or should I say Cyke's bike and headed toward the door.
I went inside also, but I took another way. I hid in the corner by the door. I saw him hug Rogue and then I saw Bobby's face with a hint of jealousy. He shook Logan's hand, freezing it a bit. I guess to intimidate him or something.
"Right. Boyfriend?" Logan inquired innocently. "So, ah, how do you guys..."
I knew what he was talking about. How do Bobby and Rogue keep "in touch." One make-out session and we'll have IceRogue.
Bobby and Rogue both blush. "Well we're still working on that," Bobby said.
"Ohhh-okay. Lemme know how it turns out," Logan manages to say. Yeah like that will ever happen.
"Look who's come back. Just in time," I looked up to see Strom walking down the stairs to greet Logan.
"For what?" Logan asks.
"We need a baby-sitter."
"Baby-sitter?" My point exactly.
"Nice to see you again, Logan."
"Hi Logan," I see Jean on the stairs greet him with this smile, that I couldn't decipher.
"Hi Jean." He looked kind of nervous. Looks like someone has a crush.
"Uh I should go and get the jet ready," Storm announced kind of uncomfortable to be there.
Bobby says, pulling Rogue with him, "Yeah well it's good to meet you. Come on lets go."
"Bye Logan, I'll see you later." Rogue looked like she didn't want to leave the Wolverine's side. Poor Bobby.
"Okay."
"Storm and I are heading to Boston we won't be gone long. The Professor wants us to track down a mutant who attacked the president," Jean says right in front of him. I mean face-to-face. Only a few inches away from each other.
"So it was a mutant?"
"You'll be here when we get back – unless you plan on running off again."
I hear Logan inhale, "Well, I can probably think of a few reasons to stick around." Oh I am so sure.
"Find what you were looking for Logan," Scott's voice sounded a bit annoyed to see Logan talking to Jean. Well anybody would if a cute, hunk guy was hitting on their girl.
"More or less."
"See you boys later," Jean goes and gives her man a kiss.
"Be safe, okay?" Cyke says.
"You too." She says to Cyke and then turns to Logan and tells him good-bye.
"See ya." Still looking rather nervous.
"Aren't you gonna welcome me home? Your bike needs gas," and tosses his keys to him. Oh, man. The look on Cyke's face would make even Magneto tremble.
"Then fill her up," Cyke tosses back the keys. You know that look before? Forget it, this look is even more deadly.
Logan snickers a little and stands there for a few minutes. I wonder if he can sense me standing/hiding here. He looks my way and I quickly press myself to the wall. Holy crap!! I hear footsteps walking away from me. He's gone. Thank goodness. My heart was beating so hard I thought it would jump out of my chest.
"Well that was interesting," I looked towards the hall that he entered. "Very interesting."
