Why this must be read:

There are a lot of reasons to like this fic. For one thing, it's narrated by a Movieverse (post-X1) Jubilee that I really buy. I like that Movieverse characters don't have all of the history that the Comicverse characters do. So, you have a Jubilee who hasn't been through crucifixions and kidnappings and mind-fuckings a-go-go. It's kind of a What If Life At Xavier's Was Kinda Normal.

And that's nice.

So, quite simply, it’s cute. And it's fun. Funfic! What a concept. No dark. Very little angst. Just goofiness and fluff and amusing one-liners. Mama like.



I’m sitting under the big tree by the basketball court, listening to Christopher Lawrence spin and drawing a picture of a moose. Maybe she won’t come. Maybe this time he’ll be content to stay with her.

I fervently hope this time will be different.

The past three times Logan’s returned to the Mansion it’s been the same—Rogue’s overjoyed to see him, he’s glad to see her, they talk, and an hour later she’s in our room clutching his dog tags and sobbing that he doesn’t see her as anything but a kid. I mean, jeez! First off, it’s partly her fault for falling head over heels for a guy who’s positively ancient, but it doesn’t help that he’s denser than lead. The entire mansion knows she’s half crazy for him, but he’s either up to his eyeballs in denial or completely blind.

Or, I suppose, it could be the whole ancient thing. I mean, she is nineteen, but he’s…really old. Like, Ensure-old. Maybe he thinks it’d be nasty for them to get together. Which it would, kind of, but at least it would make her happier…maybe he really is all hung up on Dr Grey. Here I thought it was just a sex thing. But she’s with Mr Summers, anyway, and—

My head’s starting to hurt from thinking about it. I decide that Rogue should just get over Logan already and find herself someone who wasn’t alive during the Stone Age.
