A/N: I realized just about a month ago that I hadn't posted anything in over a year, so I remedied that by posting a HP and a City of Ember fic, but I didn't have any ideas for this story, so, way too long after it should've been updated, here's the new chapter.
Disclaimer: And yet, even after a whole year, I still don't own the X-Men. More's the pity, 'cause if I did they would have another show.
"Jubilee, come on!" Her friend called up the stairs. "We have to go or we'll we late, again!"
"Okay, okay," Jubilee laughed. "I'm coming, already." She grabbed up her purse and hurried out the door, accidentally leaving her phone sitting on the corner of her desk in her haste.
A few minutes later, the phone began to ring - it's shrill voice calling out through the empty house. After seven rings, it went to voicemail.
"Hey, this is Jubilee! If you're Bobby, Ray, Sam, Rahne, Roberto, Amara, Tabby, Jamie, Dani, Kitty, Rogue, Laura, Kurt, Scott, Jean, Warren, or Alex, leave me a message and I'll call you back soon! If you're anyone else, buzz off!"
-beep-
"Hey Jubes." His voice was quiet, almost hard to hear, "This is Bobby. I just called to tell you, you're missing out by living in California." He gave a hoarse laugh. "I mean, our team is sort of stuck in an abandoned warehouse that's about to explode." There was a faint sigh. "And I just - I just wanted to call you to tell you, I love you Jubby. And I miss you..." There was a pause, and other, panicky voices could be heard in the background. "...good-bye."

In the car, already halfway to their destination, Jubilee started to rummage through her purse. "Emma, I've left my phone at home!"
Her friend glanced over at her. "Well, we can't turn around now, or we'll be late. I'm sure you won't miss anything important without it."
Jubilee nodded. "I suppose you're right." She grinned over at her friend. "Can't you go any faster? You're like, ten under the speed limit - I thought you didn't want to be late!"
