LOGAN & TABITHA'S GUIDE TO SALVAGE A RELATIONSHIP!

!xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo!

"Okay rugrats…" Logan said into the microphone. The young mutants just continued to speak amongst each other and ignored him as he stood on the platform of the conference room. "Excuse me!" He said gruffly, taking a chance at being polite. He heard a giggle and saw Tabitha with a booklet trying to cover her mouth. He furrowed his brows at her but just got a mock kiss in return.

"SHADDUP!" he yelled into the microphone and the students quickly quieted down. He sighed heavily and decided that allowing Ororo to teach him to be more fragile with the students did nothing to keep them under control. He looked over at Tabby and waved her over.

Tabitha walked across the platform and looked over at the students. Rahne and Sam seated on either side of the group of new mutants with as much distance between them as possible. Rahne's hair was loose about her face but she had returned to her normal uniform of long sleeved green shirt and a pair of rugged jeans. Tabitha squashed the guilt knowing that she was going to soon solve the problem!

"Hey guys!"Tabby shouted and waved to the youth before her. They all waved back excitedly, except for Sam who gave it half-heartedly and Rahne who did not wave at all. "Well, the Prof said that he wanted us to get together and do a play for the older X Men and the teachers. Logan has offered himself as supervision!"

"A play?!" Bobby shouted. He looked about at the other guys for more offended support but noticed Roberto giving sexy looks to Tabitha and blowing her kisses. "Geez man, control your hormones! We're in a super crisis here!"

Jubilee looked at Bobby and cocked a brow. He looked at her with consternation and wondered what the heck was going on. When she leaned in and whispered in his ear, his eyes went from narrowed to huge circles. No one heard a word but Romeo and balcony scene and after he put on some cherry chapstick he calmed down.

"You may go on," Bobby shouted to Tabitha.

"Thank you," she said and rolled her eyes. "Now, Logan and I got together and created the perfect play for us to perform."

"Logan did what?!" Jamie shouted. Logan sent him a glare but the shock of Logan participating in something such as playwriting was too much to hold inside. "Is this some kind of new training session?!"

"No kid! Now relax, we are going to have FUN!" Logan growled and Jamie sat back quietly and grabbed Amara's hand. She looked down at it as if it was the most putrid thing but could not remove it from the boys vice like grip so she chose to pretend it wasn't happening.

"Okay guys; now let me tell you what the play is about. It's about two people who fall in love with each other because they are so unpopular that nobody else likes them…" she said seriously.

"That is so fruity!" Ray shouted in response and then pointed at Logan. "I thought you were man, dude! How could you let her write some fruity crap like that! And you helped? What's wrong with you?!"

Logan went over to Tabby and ripped the microphone from her hand.

"Listen ta me…I did not write this play. Tabitha did! Is that understood?! And if I here a peep out of any one of ya's, I'm gonna give you extra trainin' sessions. Now is that understood?!" the whole room responded in silence and quickly shifted their eyes to Tabitha. He was sure he would hear nothing else out of their mouths.

"Now…we already have the parts so I'ma give them out, k?" She waited for everyone to stop sighing in sadness and then proceeded to giving them their parts.

"Jubilee your character is Jubes and you are a popular student who can't read." Tabitha said. Jubilee stood up affronted but Tabitha held her hand out in front of her to let her know there was more. "Now Bobby, your name is Bob and your Jubes boyfriend and your gonna teach her how to read, or at least you try to be but she keeps seducing you and she ends up getting knocked up."

Logan was about to interrupt her, but the side of him that had been calmed down since he had last tried to help Sam pull the moves on Rahne rose up in him. At least this time he would not be blamed for these seemly amusing antics. He sat down in the chair to hear what other characters Tabitha had made up. He had told her to make whatever play she wanted, his job was only to ensure nobody got hurt.

"Now, Amara your name is Amari and you will be a nerdy student who get's made over by Robert who will be played by Roberto who is supposedly the hunk of the school but is really a closeted beanie baby collecter."

"No! No! and No! I am not going to be a beanie baby collecter!" yelled Roberto. Tabitha sighed heavily as Amara stood up, for some weird reason holding Jamie's hand, she also yelled until Tabitha shushed them down.

"Relax guys! It'll be fun! You guys have a love scene in the back of a dirty old tire shop," she adlibbed. It wasn't in the script but Roberto's dirty self would enjoy it and by the time the play was done he wouldn't even know what happened.

"Allright!" he shouted and sat beside Amara, wiggling his eyebrows up and down. She blushed fiercely but then figured that if she yelled any further that she would like a peasant and so decided that she would speak to Tabitha later.

"Allright, now Ray is going to be-," she got cut off by Ray who stood up and leaned onto his hands which were holding the seat in front of him.

"Let me guess my name is…uh, oh yeah, Ray!" he said and got a tiny snort from Logan who was also thinking of the lack of imagination regarding the names.

"Uh, no stupid. Your name is Raynana, and you're a transvestite who likes to dance to Ricky Martin's "Livin' La Vida Loca!" She said.

"WHAT!? I don't think so. I'm not gonna play some-," Ray began but Logan stood up and glared down at him. "Mr. Logan, come on man! You can't be serious!"

"I approved the play kid, and what I say goes…or else…" Logan said adamantly, the sound of his claws revealing themselves. Ray sat down in his chair and vowed vengeance on Tabitha. She would surely pay for this treason.

"Thank you…Mr. Logan…now Jamie will play James, the lovable but surely unethical cupid who causes all of these people to fall into haphazard love!" She said and gave them all a sweet smile…or at least the sweetest smile she could manage.

"What about Rahne and Sam?" Bobby shouted. They all looked on either side at the broken up couple and wondered what would be going on.

"Ah yes! The stars of our play. I present to you, the leading lady and gentleman who are also the title of our play," Tabitha coughed to get a dramatic effect. "THE HIGHLANDER AND THE HICK!"

"Tabitha Smith, you are to come to the office this instant!" Ms. Munroe said in a very loud yet dignified manner.

Tabitha sighed heavily and looked over at Logan who rolled his eyes. Tabitha followed Ororo out the door and promptly handed Logan the real copy of the play while pulling a modified version from underneath her shirt. Perhaps she should have stuck to Logan's concept of THE HIGHLANDER AND THE HILLBILLY! Hopefully, she'll make it out alive from there.

"Okay, a copy of the play is on the table. Ya each take one and go ta yer rooms ta practice. Tomorrow mornin' we're gonna get ready to cover our first scene."

Everyone left the room except for Rahne who stayed behind and marched over to Logan. But the closer she got the less her face looked determined and the sadder she became. She tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around quickly; his face going from hard to soft.

"Hey kid, what's up?" he asked kindly.

"I dinna think its such a good idea…ta have me an' Sam as a couple," Rahne said; her accent just a tad thicker due to the emotion in her voice. Logan put a hand on her shoulder and she looked up into his eyes.

"Don't worry, I promise…things are gonna be much better soon. I promise," and this quote, he meant sincerely.
