The sun was out and there wasn't a cloud in the sky, it would have been baking hot except for a cool breeze which made the weather perfect. Scott was taking advantage of it to lay on the grass. It was after lessons about 17:30 but the sun seemed to not want to leave the sky and that was all good for the young mutant.
He had decided to come here instead of hanging out in the Rec Room for a bit, food would be soon though so he'd have to have a look in to the time, though he was sure one of the telepaths would give him a quick reminder depending on who was around. Scott was wearing a plain white T-shirt with a pair of jeans, held up with a belt that had the X logo on it. He wasn't sure why he had the school's X on a lot of the time, probably because it made him feel apart of something, like the member of a wider community. His glasses were resting on his chest because his eyes were closed and it was a relief to feel the sun on all of his face.

"So...what are you up to right now, Mr. Summers?" Jean smiled levitating over Cyclops who decided to take a little break in the grass. She couldn't help but smile and awe at how peaceful her looked...especially with his glasses off, which was a rare sight. Jean herself was dressed in a light green T-shirt, a black jean skirt and black flip flops. She was about to head out to grab a bite to eat when she noticed her fellow X-man lounging out here in the open lawn and of course as always, she had to bring herself over to keep him company. She levitated herself to lay in the grass next to Scott and turned on her side to face him. Lifting a hand, she gently tapped him on the nose to secure his attention.
"You can wake up now, Sleeping Handsome. Or should I just leave you here in peace? she smirked.

Scott heard the soft voice over head and he kept his eyes closed as he moved the red shades from his chest, over his eye sbefore opening them. He felt the slight odd vibrating feeling as the optic blast hit the glasses and rebounded it in a loop back in to his eye. This is when he saw Jean levitating over him and he smiled at her. He wandered if levitating whilst wearing a skirt was a good idea. He decided if he could lie on the floor and not get an eyeful she was probably safe.
As she lay next to him he shifted on to his side, arranging his glasses so they wouldn't fall off he said "Hey Jean..." he put the fact she called him handsome out of mind so not to get flustered or mix his words. He had been meaning to talk to her actually. His mouth went a little dry his heart started beating faster and blood was pumping in his ears as he realised what he was about to do. "I was actually going to find you...bit of a shame I'm not a telepath, bet that makes it easy to track people don't when you want them...heh.."

The red head arched an eyebrow at Scott's words, but she couldn't help but smile when she heard that he was looking for her. Oh, he probably just wanted to go over new training strategies for the newbies or something along those lines. Ah well, it's what she'd come to expect with him.
"Well Scott, having telepathy has it's perks. Like say for example if you ever did need me, all you'd have to do is call for me mentally and I'd hear you, that is, if I'm not too far away. I'm not like the Professor where I can pick up your thoughts from the other side of the globe." she shrugged. "Anyways, I'm hear now, whats on your mind or do I have to take a peak for myself?"

Well that was an interesting fact, all he had to do was think about her...loudly he guessed and she would hear the call. It was one thing he'd have to bare in mind when he needed to discuss things with her. He had decided that he didn't want her poking around in side his mind...at least not right now so he answered that question first.
"Oh, no...you don't need to look inside my mind. Ok....any time now, he needed to ask...she was expecting a question. He could back out of course, start asking about team rotations and tactics for battling Pyrokinetics in unstable enviroments...but he'd come here for a reason. He couldn't back out now...so taking a breath he said "Okay, well...um...right. Thing is...how to put this...we've known each other for like...two years or something...right? He paused for a moment before continuing "Well I've been thinking for like...ages on it and was wondering if maybe...you'd might want to, do something sometime....y'know. Just the two of us, like...go...out...somewhere...together...if you know what I'm rambling about?" he gave a hopeful smile, preying to whatever Mutant loving God she knew what the hell he was talking about.

Jean looked back at him waiting for his response. Naturally she expected something about battle simulations for the danger room or anything similar along those lines because it seemed that was all Scott ever wanted to speak to her about. He was always so...stiff and she really wished he'd just unwind and let loose. Okay, he was field leader of the X-men, he had to be serious but they weren't on the field 24/7.
He brought up the fact that they had known each other for two years. That was correct. Scott was actually the first person she had become acquainted with when she first arrived. Over those two years she had developed a serious attraction to him and she always hoped that he would ask her out, but it never happened. At least until now. The question wasn't as smooth as it could have been, which was expected. He wasn't exactly as smooth as James Bond, none the less, Jean still found him to be just as dashingly handsome and he had his own charm about him she liked.
"I don't need to be a psychic to know what you're talking about. The two of us alone, huh? You mean doing something besides battle schematics and the what not? If you mean going out on a date, then yes Scott Summers, I would love to go out with you." she smiled and hugged him. "Seriously, you have no idea how long I've been waiting for you to ask me."

Scott stared at Jean when she knew she didn't need to be a psychic to know what he was talking about. His heart continued to beat so fast it was hard to tell when one beat started and another begun. He almost thought she'd say no...almost, right when she spoke about only talking about schematcs he thought he'd left it too long and she was going to say no. Then she said yes and the only words running through his head were She's hugging me, She's hugging me...oh god she's hugging me After a second he remembered to place his arms around her and hug her back. He stayed there for a minute or so wondering how long it took before a hug became weirdly long before registering that she said she'd been waiting for him to ask. Beamed at her and said "Really? I just thought...I don't know what really...so...right, when are you free? you're not free now are you? it'd be awesome if you were...I'm coming off a bit strong arn't I? heh...sorry, I'm a bit excited"

"Well...I was actually about to go get something to eat...maybe see a movie..." Jean said looking back into his shades with a gentle smile.
"And you know, two is always better than one. I'd love your company. And no you're not coming on too strong. I've waited nearly the two years we've known each other for this. I'm excited myself." and that she really was. This is what she's wanted for the longest. To see if Jean and Scott were compatible....even though something told her they were. Over 40 years of comics, cartoons, graphic novels and movies couldn't be wrong. Not that she knew any of that stuff cataloging her life in multiple universes existed.

Scott stood up and wiped his slightly sweaty hands on his jeans before offering his hand to help Jean up. His heart had slowly returned to a more regular beat, despite the fact that he was still jittery with nerves. Food sounded good, but he had the feeling he might need to think of something more...daring if they were to go out a second time. He did have something in mind...but it made him uneasy because it meant breaking some rules...granted only technical rules...but rules none the less, he was sure she'd love it though...so it was worth it. MAybe they could skip the movie after food and do his idea instead...hmm...well it wouldn't hurt to ask "Well...the food sounds good, but instead of the movie...heh...well we could get in trouble with the professor...but I could get us in to the Hanger under the premise of a 'test flight' ....and we could take a ride in the X-jet."

Hm...a ride in the X-jet? The thought of that never crossed her mind and to tell you the truth, she was very surprised that Scott came up with it. There was hope for him after all.
"That sounds...like a great idea. Could we fly over the Atlantic..." she said tapping a finger to her chin as she thought about something else. "Why don't we take dinner with us? Pack a picnic or something? Maybe we can land on an island out there where we can have it..." she suggested.

A Picnic in the X-jet? normally he'd say something about the effect of possible crum spillage effecting the delicate equipment inside the vehicle...but today he felt differently, could it be that he was just feeling giddy about his social life taking a huge step up and the prospect of picnicing on a desert island with Jean.
He just needed to let the professor know that he was taking the jet out for a test flight. He shut his eyes and focused, thinking loudly so that the professor could hear him "Proffessor Xavier...I'm just going to take the X-jet out for a test flight to see if systems are still at optimal...I'll be back soon." He then looked back at Jean and smiled "Right...okay...we're gonna get so busted for this...but Xavier will know I'm taking the jet out and until he checks the cameras we won't get an angry call back to base...At least I hope that's what we get instead of Mr. Leshnerr dragging the jet back in with us in it...but anyhow, shall we grab some food to take with us? then to the Hanger"

Jean couldn't help but grin as the plot had began to unfold. Lying and sneaking the X-jet out for a date and here they were supposed to be the responsible ones of the X-men. She chuckled at the thought of Mr. Lehnsherr actually pulling the X-jet all the way back to the mansion with them inside. Granted the consequences probably wouldn't be that great, but at least it'd make an amusing story to look back on.
"Sounds like a plan, brotha man" Jean smiled getting back to her feet and levitating back into the air. "Meet you in the hangar in oh, 20 minutes? When you're ready, just give me a call...or thought."

Cyclops nodded to Jean as she got up and started to levitate. He often wandered about her ability to float...or fly in some cases, he'd never really known how fast or long she could do it for...it would be some really cheap vacation if you could fly abroad yourself.
He thought he'd make sure that he got the idea right of what was going on...after all he wouldn't want to get to the jet to find out that it was his job to bring the food. Smiling up at her he said "Alright...so I'll go and prep the jet, you'll go get the food and we meet in the hanger? right?" he thought he might as well get the question there, couldn't hurt to find out for sure.
((OOC: Are we fading to a new thread in the hanger or continuing on here?))

"That's right. I'll meet you there. See you in a few" Jean waved floating off towards the mansion. Along the way she created a list of things in her mind to gather. Plates, cups, silverware, napkins, what they would eat. Ah well, he'd just have to wait while she gathered what she could. She would hurry though, she did not want to waste anymore time to stall this date.
((OOC: Yeah, we could start a new thread))
