Jubilee was dancing around the dimly lit streets, wearing her yellow jacket. It had been in her closet, like it had always belonged there, and she was stoked. It was a little piece of home and had come at a time when she’d been really lonely and reminiscent.

So she bounce bounce bounced down the street at speeds faster than a girl should be able to go, on her way to Rahne’s house.

Rahne had had another dream about the boy called Josh. Only he hadn’t been gold to start with in this one, but she at least knew why she’d felt like she’d owed him something in the other dreams. Shredding someone would...definitely do that.

Jubilee paused in front of Rahne's house, and stared at it. She wanted to just burst in and say hi, but Rahne was probably still asleep. That, and she had the distinct impression she couldn't enter the building. She needed permission.

"Suck."

She bounced her way up to the door and knocked.

Rahne blinked at the knock. Who would be visiting at this hour? She pulled on some sweatpants and a bathrobe and made her way to the door. Looking through the peephole, she saw Jubilee. Rahne wasn’t completely sure how much she felt like company, but after that dream...she could do with practice in getting used to the ned Jubilee.

She opened the door and smiled faintly. “Hello.”

"Hey, can I come in? You need to invite me in, or I can't come in. I'll be stuck out here. In the cold. And hey check it OUT!" She fanned out her coat and spun around, "I GOT MY COAT YO! I'm BIG BIRD AGAIN!"

Jubilee bounced on her heels, then hopped around some more.

She might have eaten an entire bag of halloween candy earlier. While she could still eat candy.

Rahne laughed at the spinning. “Aye, you can come in, Jubilee. Have you eaten lately?” It was better to check, she figured. Just in case. “And that coat looks good on you.”

"Uhm. Candy. And I nommed a bit on Ollie but I'm still a bit hungry but not too hungry I promise I won't bite you 'less you want me to, 'cause you're hot." She danced inside. It felt like walking through a veil of sorts. Then it broke, and she realized she could enter whenever she wanted now. She probably shouldn't abuse that.

"I'm moving in with him!"

“Oh. Well, that’s good, yes?” Rahne certainly hoped the...nomming would be okay with Ollie. And that he and Jubilee could make things continue to work now that she was apparently a full-fledged vampire.

"It's great! I'm like blown away! Hey, I didn't like wake you up, did I? I'm totes sorry if I did."

Rahne shook her head. “I was awake. Had a...dream. Didn’t think I’d be able to get make to sleep too soon.”

"I'm sorry. Bad one? I've had some weird ones. Like I had this power suit and I was with New Warriors and shit." Jubilee paused in her bouncing to look closely at Rahne, "What was it about?"

“I’d...apparently lost my powers at some time. There was...a boy with a healing power. We kissed.” Rahne glanced down at the floor and took a deep breath. “He made my power come back...and I...shredded his back. Really bad...”

"Oh. I'm so sorry, Rahney. Was he okay? Did he heal?" Jubilee glomped onto Rahne and hugged her tight enough to hurt, "It was an accident, chica!"

Rahne tensed for an instant, then leaned into the hug. “He healed, aye. Turned golden-skinned after that. Some kind of...side effect or something.”

"That's kinda cool," Jubilee said, nodding her head thoughtfully. "Kinda like you were such a good kisser you boosted his abilities and shiz! Or maybe you lost your power to an injury or something... I guess that happens, right?"

Rahne rolled her eyes. “I don’t know. But I don’t think it was that I was that great a kisser.”

"Wanna prove it?" Jubilee asked, feigning innocence.

“...I have less kissing practice here than in the dream world,” Rahne said incredulously.

"Combine the two and you're totes good to go," Jubilee teased, leaning in and making smootching sounds. She let go and spun around, "We need to find you like a boyfriend. Or a girlfriend. You got the hair for it."

Rahne chuckled softly. “You don’t need to feel obligated about that,” she said. “I don’t really know if dating while dealing with these dreams is a great thing.”

"It's not an obligation. It's fun." Some part of Jubilee, awakened with her slow descent into vampirism, would have jumped at the chance to have one of her best friends. She could probably even charm her but that was dishonest, and she wouldn't cheat on Ollie, besides.

"And trust me having someone to hold onto helps."

“...you’ve probably got a point. About the holding onto part.” Rahne sighed. She ran a hand through her hair. If the other person had dreams, too, it might work okay. She wasn’t sure how anyone who wasn’t having dreams would react, though.

"Though I guess not everyone is that lucky," Jubilee mused. She walked deeper into Rahne's house and plopped onto her couch, crossing her legs.

“Hey, lets watch a movie or something, you’re kinda wound up and need to looooosen up!”

Rahne took a deep breath. “Aye, a movie sounds like a good idea. Something...happy.”
