"Jean! Sara! Come on ladies we don't have all night now!" Mr. Grey yelled up to his daughters as he heard a car pull up. "They're here!!" He opened the door to let Kitty, Scott, Kurt, Evan, and Ororo Munroe in. "Hello, and you all are whom?"

"My name's Evan Daniels sir," Evan said giving his best kiss up return. "I will have the prividge of escorting your lovely daughter Sara."

"Uh huh," Mr. Grey said inspecting them, "and who are you?"

"Scott Summers sir."

"I'm Ororo Munroe, Mr. Grey. I'll be the kids' chaparone tonight. Here I've printed up the schedule for the night."

"Why thank you, that's a great idea. Jean! Sara! Let's go!" he yelled up the stairs.

"Come now they'll be down when they're ready," Mrs. Grey told her husband.

"We're coming!" Jean yelled back, and then footsteps ran down the stairs. "Hi Scott."

"Are we ready?" Ororo asked. "Okay I need pictures first. Okay Jean and Sara with your parents." Ororo took a picture, "now Scott and Evan get in there in couples so I have three. Good." Snap! "Now seperate couples. Good. Good. Good. Now singles!" Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! "Okay group picture!" Snap! "Okay let's go kids! In the car we go!" Ororo waited for each to file out the door as Scott started up the van. "Nice meeting you both."

"Nice meeting you Miss Munroe."

"Yes."

The six were driven to an Italian Resturant while Ororo sat in the car reading her paper. They were right on schedule, it was only 6:30pm and they didn't have to be at the dance until 7-8pm. Ororo was happy that she had brought the camara, at least the professor would be able to see all of them together and see Jean. She knew that he missed her, and he could see Jean with her family. Ororo had be thankful that the Greys had agreed to let both Jean and Sara attend the Bayville Sadie Hawkins Dance. Dances were big social events that the X-Men did not always get to attend.

At 7pm on the dot the children came back to the van. They had brought Ororo something and Scott agreed to drive while she ate. They soon arrived at their school and parked in the back lot. Ororo accompanied the kids up to the gym, she had to find out her duties for the night. The kids went on into the gym and Ororo met with other parents, guardians, and teachers.

The dance finally let out at 12am, midnight. Jean and Sara had to be home at 12:30am, so they had to go strait there after the dance. They arrived right on time, the kids said their goodnights and then the rest were driven back to the Xavier Institute.

"How'd it go Ororo?" Xavier asked her after the kids had gone upstairs.

"It was wonderful. Everyone had a good time. Jean and Sara looked absolutely beautiful and I have film that I'll develope tommorrow."

"Very good. Thank you Ororo."

"Your welcome. I miss her too. She'll be back for at least a week in about a day."

"I know, but it just seems..."

"So long?"

"Yes. Terribly long. Well goodnight Ororo."

"Goodnight Professor."
