Being bullied? dang

"Marco?" called a timid young boy walking around arms out infront of him, his eyes blind folded "Marco?" he tried again. He was starting to worry he'd not heard a polo in sometime. The boy he'd been playing with, a nice boy by the name of Scottie had said this would be a fun game. He'd yet to decide how this was fun. He was scared, blinded by the blindfold, and had no idea where his new friend was. "Marco?" he tried again. Unaware Scottie was soundly asleep in a room at the lunatic cafe having lost the boy in the cantina. "Marco?" he said lip trembling. "Mar.....mar....Marco?"

She fell silent, then finally picked him up again and gave him a big hug.

"That doesn't mean you won't be," she said softly, stroking his hair.

He returned her hug, snuggling against her. "I hope so"

She smiled, then looked up as Hank gave her a curious look.

"I want one," she mouthed to him.

Hank's eyes rolled in the back of his head, and he collapsed with a tremendous thud, which made Jubilee giggle.

The sound of a thud made him jump spin around, see a blue man and scream.

Jubilee started, then hugged him tighter.

"Easy! Easy, Spence, it's ok! It Hank McCoy, the Beast. He's just my boyfiend," she said quickly, holding him. "Shh, it's ok Spence, he's a teddy bear!"

"THAT'S GONNA EAT ME!!!!!!!!!!!"

[heartandfire.livejournal.com]

"No no no!" she couldn't help but laugh, carrying him over and rolling Hank over, making the boy moan and slowly look up. Then he started awake with a cry at the boy's scream.

"He's just a guy, a normal guy, covered in blue fur!" Jubilee said, showing him.

"What?" Hank looked helpless and afraid.

[under16s.livejournal.com]

Spence screamed again trying to squirm free and away "HE'LL EAT ME! ARGH!" he screamed.

[heartandfire.livejournal.com]

"Hank, help," the girl grunted.

Hank looked scared, but slowly came forward.

"I don't eat little kids," he said, then blinked and hit a button on his watch, suddenly loosing all fur and looking like a normal, redheaded teenager who was scared to death.

"See?" Jubilee grunted, working very hard to not drop the kid.

[under16s.livejournal.com]

Spence paused for a moment before continuing squirming and screaming "He's gonna hide and eat me when I'm a BIG kid instead?!!" he screamed

[heartandfire.livejournal.com]

Jubilee sighed and lifted him up in the air.

"NOBODY is going to eat you, Spence," she said loudly and gruffly. "He's a NORMAL guy, just like you and me. CALM DOWN."

[under16s.livejournal.com]

"I'm not normal" He muttered looking at her but calming. Although he still kept flicking suspecious eyes at Hank.

[heartandfire.livejournal.com]

"Please don't be afraid of me," the young man begged, then hung his head and turned to leave. "I don't eat people at all. I'm just a mutant."

"Apologize to him," Jubilee said in a low voice, worried about the look on his face. "You've hurt his feelings, he's not a monster."

[under16s.livejournal.com]

"Sorry" Spence tried, but he still looked scared out of his brain. "Just........ don't hide, it's scarier......." he murmered.

[heartandfire.livejournal.com]

Hank's eyes went blank, and he turned, walking away.

Jubilee sighed and put Spencer down on the booth, knowing Hank would want some time alone before he'd let her cuddle with him.

"You know, not everybody who looks different is scarey," she said softly, looking at the boy sadly.

[under16s.livejournal.com]

"but he was big and........scary" he said looking guilty. "And hiding's worst, I should make an apology card?"

[heartandfire.livejournal.com]

"He doesn't hide," she said gently. "And he's different looking, yes, but really he's just a guy with blue fur. He wouldn't hurt a fly. But you don't have to apologize... he's kind of used to that reaction. Just please don't do it again."

[under16s.livejournal.com]

"He was hiding the blue face behind a not blue face" he said. He looked thoughtful for amoment "Like Chewbacca?"

[heartandfire.livejournal.com]

"No, Chewbacca was a wookie. Hank's just a human with fur. He put on the image inducer so he wouldn't scare you anymore," she said gently.

[under16s.livejournal.com]

"It's scarier like that" he said softly. "He was? I thought he was a person........." he said "So he's not a wookie?" he looked thoughtful for along moment. "Does he watch star wars?"

[heartandfire.livejournal.com]

"He loves Star Wars," she smiled. "You know, he's a real nerd. And he's a genius, in medicine and stuff. I think you'd like him a lot if you gave him a chance."

[under16s.livejournal.com]

"I could invite him to see star wars with me? As an apology?" he suggested.

[heartandfire.livejournal.com]

"I think that would be a wonderful idea," Jubilee smiled, rubbing his shoulder. "Do you like twinkies?"

[under16s.livejournal.com]

He shook his head "Not really. I like Bananas they're high in fibre"

[heartandfire.livejournal.com]

She smiled.

"Do you like any kind of junk food?" she asked.
