My husband and my best friend


Over the next couple of weeks, Scott and Marie prepared for their last minute wedding. The whole mansion had been stunned when they had learned what was going on. Ororo had been incredulous, but had happily agreed to stand up as Marie’s maid of honour, whilst Jubilee and Kitty had agreed to along with Rini to be Marie’s bridesmaids. Alex was going to be Scott’s best man.

Jubilee being Jubilee, just had to comment on, how at least Scott was gorgeous, and was her best friend. That at least she knew and was comfortable with her husband to be. But Kitty being the more reasonable and less out going of the two, commented on how Marie and Scott most likely never planned on having a relationship that involved becoming intimate.

Marie and Scott both silently agreed with kitty, they had not planned on ever becoming more then friends. Not due to the fact they were un-attracted to each other, no rather quite the opposite in fact. The fact of the matter is, both were afraid to be hurt again, after what Jean and Logan had done to them.

Both agreed that it would be awkward at first, but they would soon become accustomed to being more intimate with each other. They supposed it helped that the other was very much attracted to each other even if they hadn’t planned on acting upon that attraction until that document reared its ugly head turning the whole situation upside down.

And much to both Scott’s and Alex’s surprise, both brothers had gained new forms of mutation each. Neither had realised they both had other mutations that were just late manifesting them self.

Scott discovered he was invulnerable, that his skin could not be penetrated. They discovered the only way Hank could take any blood from Scott, was if Scott turned off his mutation and allowed Hank access.

Scott also discovered that his hands were also as deadly as his eyes. He discovered that he could badly burn or turn someone into a cinder with a mere touch. Not that he had tested that theory.

The damage to his brain had been healed by Marie, seeing as she also had Logan’s healing factor, even if it wasn’t as potent as Logan’s ability, it was still strong enough to heal Scott’s damaged brain, which in return allowed him to control all of his powers without the aid of a watch with a special chip in it.

Alex on the other hand discovered he had empathy, telepathy and telekinesis. He was learning to control his power that enabled him to moved things with his mind. He was also learning how to switch on and off his telepathy and empathy so he wasn’t always picking up on others emotions and their thoughts.

Marie and Rini had met up a few times. Both were still working on their relationship. They had a lot to talk about and discuss after not having any form of contact with each other for six years.

Rini had been in tears as she apologised to her older sister for all the cruel things she had said to her when their parents had been alive, and when Marie’s mutation first manifested it self.

Rini, she had also explained how and when she had discovered she was also a mutant and shared the same mutation as her sister, except she didn’t have the ability of super strength like Marie, nor did she have Logan’s heightened sense of hearing, touch, taste and sight and reflexes and a minor version of Logan’s healing ability.

She could never imagine what it was like to have Magneto’s knowledge inside of your head or Carol’s memories and ability to fly. Rini had been in awe of her older sister super strength and ability to fly.

She did have the ability to see in the dark like a cat and had the senses and reflexes of a feline, whose eyes would glow golden like cats in the dark when she lost her temper and could produce claws.

She also had the ability of a shape shifter like Mystique. She had ended up in a fight with two female mutants, a shape shifter and a mutant whose eyes were golden like a cat, who had the senses and reflexes of a cat and who could produce claws as a defensive weapon.

She had accidentally gained these extra mutations whist in college when she was nineteen. In self defence she had ended up draining both girls, killing them in the process. Rini had been traumatized and had to seek counselling from someone else who was also a mutant and had done something similar in the past due to self defence.

Currently Marie and the other women were out at the mall with Charles’s credit card. They were inside the third bridal shop that day. It seemed that this shop had a better selection then the previous other two had.

Marie had decided that she wanted the bridesmaids to wear the colour crème. They went though four different styles of dresses, before everyone managed to agree upon a long flowing, floor length strapless dress, made of crème silk.

It zipped up in the back and was tight around the breast and at the waist, and flowed down to the floor. There was no lacy, but there was a hint of golden embroidery on the bodice of the dress and on the hem. The women also picked matching crème high heeled sandals with a crisscross strap. Also they had matching silk elbow gloves.

Rini had asked her sister what colour and type of flower would go with the colour crème. Marie had replied “I want pale peach roses to go with the colour of your dresses.” The women all agreed that it sounded pretty, and that there would be no complaints from them.

Finally it was Marie’s turn to choose a gown, while others had dresses, this would be a gown. Marie was going for an ivory white. She couldn’t go with pure white seeing as she had lost her virginity to Logan when she had turned eighteen.

She was not religious. But even she believed it was a little scandalous to marry wearing a colour as pure as white, when they weren’t completely pure.

In the end after trying on four different gowns, Marie found the perfect gown for her. It was ivory white silk. It was made up of a tight strapless bodice that buttoned up in the back, consisting of six pearl buttons.

The skirt was tight at the waist, but flowed down to the floor and flared out at the sides and flared out slightly from behind. There was also silver embroidery of tiny roses and vines on the bodice and around the hem of the gown. The silver against the ivory white was a stunning combination.

Marie had been delighted when Ororo had found a flowing knee cap length vale that had a small circle of small blood red roses attached to it. It would work nicely when it framed a bun at back of your head. Lastly Marie found a pair of high heeled sandals, very much like what the others had chosen, only in ivory white instead of crème.

When Marie had come out of the changing room dressed in the gown and vale, all the women were stunned. Ororo and Rini actually tears in their eyes as they beamed at the vision Marie made. Kitty and Jubilee were beaming and squealing in delight, claiming Marie had found her prefect dream gown.

As the women chatted away, Marie stared at her reflection in the large triple full length mirror that surrounded the full area of one large wall. She stared and thought about whether Jean had been standing in her position over the last four years. Knowing if she had, it would have been Logan who was her groom to be and future husband.

She wondered if Jean had worn white, if her gown had been covered in lace or other fancy decoration. Had she looked as stunning as she did on an every day daily basis? And had she managed to persuade Logan to actually where a suit and shirt?

She wondered what hers and Logan’s wedding would have been like, or what Scott’s and Jeans would have been like in return. But as it were, it was not hers and Logan’s wedding, or Scott’s and Jean’s, no it was to be hers and Scott’s.

Marie had to fight back the tears that threatened to over flow and overwhelm her. She hated Jean for stealing Logan, and for hurting such a wonderful and loving man like Scott was. She hated Logan for loving Jean and stealing Scott’s love and fiancée. Overall she hated them both for breaking her and Scott’s hearts.

She loved Scott even though she wasn’t in love with Scott, she would marry him and remain faithful to him, no matter what. She believed in being faithful to ones spouse. She was most certainty not Jean, nor was Scott Logan.

Marie sighed and quickly pushed a side the painful thoughts and memories before smiling at the girls, then heading back into the changing room to remove the gown and vale, before going to the checkout to pay.
