OMG, bliss. Pure unadulterated bliss.
That party was a stroke of genius. I love you for throwing that party.
I’d say we need to talk but I’d be incoherent with joy.
You know why.

About fuckin time, girl - the sexul tension arond here was getting to be a bit much -you owe me details. didja bang him yet?
To:Jubilee@xnet.org
Jujubee so eloquently stated:
>>didja bang him yet?
No. But in the next week or so, when the mansion’s rockin’, don’t bother knockin‘!
To: Rogue@xnet.org
LOL!
Roguey’s gonna get some for her birthday! WOOt!
To: Wolverine@xnet.org
... is Rogue’s birthday and I thought in light of recent developments you might want to help me plan her a surprise party.
You up for it?
Jubes
To: Jubilee@xnet.org
Sure. What did ya have in mind?

>>What did ya have in mind?
Well, I was thinking of getting the professor in on this - if he can call us for a fake mission, and have us show up to the place where the party is, that might be fun. But it can’t be too obvius or she’ll know, like if we were called on a mysterious mission to Lous on a Saturday night. Or maybe we could be called out on a "mission" and have the situation or whatever already resolved, or get called back for some reason. I’ll Cc X on this.
What do you thik? I can hadnle the guest list cause I know pretty much all Rogue’s college friends. Maybe you can handle logistics?
Jubes
To: Wolverine@xnet.org
Logan,
All she said was tht she was deleriously happy or something to that effect, and I’d know why. I am presuming it’s ebcause you finally got off your hairy ass and told her how you feel! *g*
Jubes
To: Wolverine@xnet.org
Logan and Jubilee:
I think using the ruse of a mission is a splendid idea. The easiest way to do this would be to deploy a Blackbird and have me "cancel" the mission shortly after they are underway, calling them back.
I am assuming that you want to have the party somewhere here? Of course you are welcome to do so. Jubilee, are you planning on inviting a lot of Rogue’s college friends? If so it might be better to have the party outdoors, to keep the noise inside to a minimum. Either way, let me know your plans and we will go from there.

>>it might be better to have the party outdoors
To: Wolverine@xnet.org, Jubilee@xnet.org
Logan, that plan sounds great to me. I have no qualms with giving everyone that Friday afternoon off.
Why don’t you two get a few more people together and we can meet to plan logistics? I’m free all day on Saturday.
Charles
P.S. It might be a good idea to tell as few people as possible until the day before. These things have a way of getting around and we don’t want to spoil the surprise.
To: Wolverine@xnet.org, ProfX@xnet.org
How about Saturday at two? I’ll round up a few folks.

Hey sugar. Was surprised to see you on line. Didn’t know you did the email thing.
Last night was amazing. When can I see you again?
I want to kiss you, like, right now.
Marie
To: Rogue@xnet.org
Hey. :) Yes, I do the email thing.
To: Wolverine@nxet.org
>>You can see me any time you want. I’m in my room.
>>>>I want to kiss you, like, right now.
Oh my god, Logan, you’ve made me just stupidly happy, you know that? And it makes me happy to know that you’re happy. You deserve it.
>>Maybe we can have dinner tonight, just us?
I am now on the phone with perhaps the most boring man in the history of humanity. I’m trying to type quietly so he can’t tell I’m only half listening to him. I want so much to tell him I have to go and come up there and kiss you senseless. ;)
Marie
To: Rogue@xnet.org
Scott and Jeannie are gonna watch Maggie tonight. Do you like sushi?
>>>>>>I want to kiss you, like, right now.
To: Wolverine@nxet.org
>>Are wolverines supposed to whimper?
Oh my god. With that bit of imagery you have just ensured that I am a useless, babbling, moron. (Good thing Boring Guy can’t tell the difference.) This whimpering thing I have to hear. I have just rearranged my to-do list so that "find out what makes Logan whimper" is near the top.
Did you really whimper?
>>I’ll pick you up at seven.

To: Rogue@xnet.org
Rogue,
Scott informs me that Logan has asked him to sit for you tonight. We’d be happy to. I assume that the reason Logan asked and not you is because you’re going out together? I’m nosey, Rogue, what gives. Give me some girl talk!!!!!
Jeannie
To: JGrey@xnet.org
Hey Jeannie. Thanx for watching Mags! Yes, L and I are going out tonight. I actually asked him to ask around because I’m up to my eyeballs in work. Hence, I am unable to dish girl talk right this second.
But I assure you there’s plenty o’ dish headin’ you way sometime soon. Coming to a theatre near you.
Come over around seven.
Rogue

Jubilee--
What’s going on with them? He looks like he’s died and gone to heaven! Oh, I hope they finally hook up!
Jeannie
To: Wolverine@nxet.org
>>>>Did you really whimper?
Now this I have to see! Oh, and I forgot to answer your question because you distracted me with all the whimpering.
I loooooooovvve sushi! What should I wear?
See ya at 7, Sug!

Actually I think Marie would like this better. Let’s have this "mission" on Friday the 23rd at noon and then we can have a barbecue. Cyclops and I can grill. She won’t expect it because it’s the day before her birthday.
What do you guys think?

Oh my god, woman, do you have any idea what you do to me?
Last night was amazing. I didn’t know if you’d ever really want to go there with me. I guess this means you trust me.
I can’t tell you how happy that makes me.
I can’t remember ever ever ever feeling so happy. Ever.
To use your own words I want to give you everything. I’m serious.
Maybe we can have dinner tonight, just us?

Wish I could at the moment, sugar. I’m eyeballs deep in this PR database we’re trying to create. I plan to work until at least four thirty. But after...
>>Oh my god, woman, do you have any idea what you do to me?
No. Perhaps you should tell me. ;)
Absolutely. If I can find a sitter, that is. Can you do me a favor and ask around? You can try Storm, Jeannie, Scott, or X. Oh, or Jubie, I’m not sure what she’s up to. Or Essie. She’s my regular sitter, her extension is 1460, but she might be sick of sitting. Sorry to dump this on you but I have nonstop phone calls.

I’m not the most eloquent guy so suffice it to say that my heartbeat is all over the place and I think at one point my hands were shaking. The rest I can show you in person. :)

I’d be happy to help! Scott says that he will be too. We love your idea of the fake mission but scott’s not too thrilled about using Blackbird fuel, no matter how short the "mission". Told him to stop being such a tight ass. ;)
