What: Jubilee and Bobby create a special unauthorized party for the kids to celebrate the arrival of summer!

There was laughter, there was shouting, there was music, and there were fireworks, courtesy the young Firecracker and first year student Jubilation Lee, who was using her powers to add some flare as the summer day moved on. Heat shimmered in the air, and the mist that raised off the almost art nouveau ice shapes that littered the lawn gave the area a neat atmosphere... you could feel the heat of the sun on you, and then a chill from the cold.... the pool was frozen over, per Jubilee's request, and only needed a touch up about once an hour, according to Bobby, who was quite popular, as Jubilee knew he'd be. Everyone save for a few was in swimsuits... ice skaters raced the length of the pool or leisurely moved in concentric circles. There was iced tea and cola, as well as snack food, taken from the school's storage innocently, and it was all going as planned. For the most part.
A few students were on her watch list. Not so friendly kids who you'd think would be more sensitive to the social pariahs of the school... people whose presence made a few of Jubilee's charges less likely to show. She'd have to make sure they didn't start any bullshit.
The music playing was a mix CD that was random, retro, new and hip, appealing to different times. It was deliberate on Jubilee's part... she'd secretly found out what kind of music the teachers liked when they were teenagers, and made sure to include it, in case they decided to come down and try to break it up. She would lure them to the dark side yet!
Jubilee was happy to see a lot of the students arrive, hoping that some of the quieter ones and other 'outsiders' might stop by to see what the commotion was about. Most of the kids at the school were afraid to make a party happen at the school without 'proper authorization', especially right on campus grounds, but those formals that usually got approved bored her stiff.
And really, all she needed to make this happen was one willing X-Man and school staffer named Bobby Drake. He was living it up, and she sprinted on over to him and hugged him from behind. "Thank you, B-Man! How long before you think someone tries to shut us down?"
Her guess was about a half hour. But she could turn up the charm, and so could Bobby.
