**sorry for such the short post, but I haven�t had the time to revise lately so I can only post this next part cause it didn�t need it. Please review� please!

The little alarm clock on the nightstand began to beep a soft two-tone pulse that woke her up. Kitty reached over and grabbed the clock staring at it through the haze of sleep. She found the off button and clicked it and set the clock back onto the nightstand. She lay flat on her back staring up at the ceiling just listening to her own breathing, just as she was lulling herself back into a light sleep she heard Poitr�s snore� it was almost cute to hear him snore. With such a large frame, he snored really quiet, almost like a girl would. With a soft chuckle she wrapped the top blanket around her small form and began to rummage around the room to find her clothes. She tired to keep as quiet as possible so as not to wake Piotr, but with him snoring softly, she figured that there was little chance of that. As she finally pulled together the last of her clothes, she dropped the sheet and started to dress chuckling a bit as she remember the preceding events and just how her clothes wound up everywhere. When she was done, she began to search through his desk for a pen and paper, finding what she needed she scribbled down a few words, folded the paper and left it on the nightstand where he could find it. She made her way to the door and very quietly pulled it open and stepped out shutting it just as quietly behind her. With a sigh of relief that she hadn�t woke him up she headed towards the stairs, she needed coffee.

Ororo had just sat down in the quiet of the kitchen looking out the window at the world outside. The world seemed so calm and peaceful this early in the morning. She never even heard Kitty enter the room until the girl stumbled and the items on the countertop were moved about in chaos. When she looked over at the girl she saw the frustrated yet slightly embarrassed look on her face.

"Are you alright Kitty?"

"Coffee, just need coffee" the girl stammered out as she reached for the pot before she noticed she hadn�t gotten a mug out yet. "Right need mug�"

"Are you sure you are all right?"

As she found the mug she wanted and poured her coffee she moved across the room and sat across the table from her friend. Kitty sipped her coffee and finally began to feel herself waking up. She smiled at Ororo as the two girls enjoyed the quiet of the morning, for soon the mansion would be bustling with people and the quiet would be gone.

"You look tired Ro" Kitty stated matter-of-factly.

"I have not been sleeping all that well" she sighed but then smiled at the girl "you on the other hand look like you slept rather well".

Kitty blushed as she thought about how little sleep she had gotten.

"Well I didn�t sleep much, but the little sleep I got was really good."

"Why did you not sleep well?"

"Oh I slept just fine, just not very much. Piotr kinda kept me� up and awake."

"Poitr?" she asked as her face lit up with the chance to catch up on gossip.

"Yeah" she chuckled as she sipped her coffee again, then looking up at Storm with a big smile she lowered her voice a bit. "Actually I�m surprised we didn�t wake anyone up." She blushed a bit at that one.

"And when did all this start to happen between you and him?"

"Well you know, these things just kinda happen on their own�" she began to trail off but decided not to finish her sentence as she saw Hank walk in the kitchen seeking out coffee as well. The two girls began to giggle as he turned to look at them.

"Am I interrupting anything?"

"Not at all Hank, merely girl talk" Kitty managed to get out through her giggles. "Well thanks for the coffee talk �Ro, but I should go wake Pete up now." Kitty smiled as she stood up and refilled her coffee before striding out of the kitchen. Hank looked confused as he sat down in the chair Kitty had just left.

"Did I miss something?"

"Not really Hank, just gossip"

"Well then what did Kitty mean exactly about needing to wake up Pete?"

"It�s none of your business Hank" She teased him playfully.

Hank sipped his coffee slowly as his brain began to process the words. Then an almost confused look crossed his face.

"Wait so Kitty and Pete are sleeping together?"

Ororo just smiled as she sipped her coffee and went back to looking out the window.

"Well, well, well, what next?" was all Hanks still sleepy mind could process out into spoken words.

Jean rolled over onto her side and felt Scott stir next to her before his arm wrapped around her waist. 3 a.m., she�d been awake for hours and all she could think about was Logan�s question of why. It bothered her to no end that she hadn�t told him, but what bothered her more was that she hadn�t told Scott. She�d known this was going to happen for a while, but was to blind to believe it. Scott didn�t seem to have time for her anymore, and when he did have time for her, he didn�t spend it with her. That�s why she�d strayed, she hadn�t meant to but these things can happen. That�s about the time the nightmares had started again. She kept having them and they got worse each night, but just recently she�d started to notice something� different. There was always a part of the nightmare that was black, shadowed almost, like it wasn�t her dreaming it. She lay there rolling this over in her mind for almost an hour before she even realized that Scott had thrown his arm around her waist. She hadn�t even noticed the slight pain it inflicted when she breathed with the weight of it there. Her eyes began to water as she kept thinking of the reason she couldn�t give to Logan. She should have told him, she should tell Scott too before things began to get to complicated. She felt a single tear roll down her face as the thoughts rolled through her head again. That was when she decided to decide. She had to know, she just had to know. She needed to know how Scott felt about her, if he even loved her still, and she needed to know how she felt about him, if she even loved him still. �This is the only way to know� is what she kept repeating in her head as she carefully slipped out from under Scott�s arm, and found herself leaving their room and walking softly down the short distance to Logan�s room. �This is the only way to know� she repeated in her head one more time before she turned the knob and stepped into his room, closing the door behind her. She looked over at him lying on the bed and saw that he was still wearing his traditional jeans and just staring at the ceiling.

"It�s 3 in the morning Jean, what the hell are you doing in here?"

"I have to know Logan, I have to know what it is that keeps bringing me back here, back to you." she whispered as she stood still leaning against the locked door.

"I don�t have time for this Jean it�s 3 in the morning, you should be sleeping" he said as he threw his legs over the edge of the bed and just sat there looking at her looking at him.

"I know I should, and that�s what�s bothering me Logan, I can�t stop thinking about what you asked me, and the reason I couldn�t give you."

"Jean please just go�" His voice was soft and calm which was hard for even him to believe as he held back every urge to go to her. For a moment he thought she was going to leave, he saw her hands move and was certain she was opening the door until he heard the click of the lock.

"No, Logan. This time I�m not going to" she breathed.

Alison lay in her bed enjoying that lul between sleeping and waking, happy in that nice relaxed state when she heard a soft knocking on her door. She had hoped that if she ignored it, eventually they�d give up and go away. When it stopped she smiled and just lay there. When she heard the knocking again, she knew that she wasn�t gonna be able to laze around.

"Alison, you up?" She heard Jubilee�s voice on the other side of her door

"No I�m not go away and come back later�" she mumbled in her half sleep.

"Come on, I wanna talk"

"So talk, I don�t want to get up"

"Will you at least open the door?"

"That would require me getting my lazy ass out of bed, which I�ve already stated that I don�t want to do!"

"Oh come on Daz!"

"Go Away!"

"All right your loss" Jubilee complained as she turned and walked back down the hallway seeking out someone else to try to talk to.

"Finally�" Alison sighed as she rolled back over onto her stomach and felt sleep begin to take her again. Just as she was falling into that deep abyss we know as sleep, she heard another knock on her door and was brought almost instantly back to reality. "not again�. GO AWAY! I just want to sleep in�" she complained as the knocking only grew louder.

"Come on Alison, I want to go swimming" Bobby�s voice echoed through the door.

"Bobby you don�t need me to go swimming" She mumbled into her pillow.

"I�m not going swimming alone, and you�re the only one not sleeping or� busy"

"I just want to sleep in�. what�s so wrong with that?" She mumbled again as she began to hear some strange noises on her door. It was only seconds before the door opened that she realized that he was picking the lock. As the door swung open, Bobby stepped into her room and just stood there staring at her lazing in bed.

"Well that�s one more feat to add to my list� natural lock picker." Alison gave a snort of a laugh at Bobby�s attempt at a joke.

"Come on, we�re going swimming"

"No� I don�t wanna� I wanna sleep�"

Then she felt Bobby�s weight leaning on her bed and just seconds later, she shrieked and curled into a little ball as Bobby began tickling her sides. She squirmed under his tickling assault, and finally with all her effort managed to pull his hands away from her sides.

"Well now that you�re up, we can go swimming!" He said standing triumphantly next to her bed.

"Jerk�. Why do I have to go swimming anyways?"

"Like I said, you�re the only one who�s not asleep or busy. Plus you�re the only one who enjoys water fights! And you look great in a bikini�" He blurted out in one long sentence.

"Well then, after that speech I guess I have no choice. I guess it won�t be so bad to kick your ass first thing in the morning anyways�"

"That�s the spirit! I�ll meet you down there!" He said as headed out of her room. "I�m gonna close this so you can change"

As she heard him walk down the hallway she gave a soft chuckle and stretched back out on her bed. "Sleep is good" was all she muttered before she fell back to sleep.
