Jubilee tugged on the woman's chair, "Come on, X. This is getting too weird. Let's go take a walk." She didn't really give the other girl a chance to argue with her, and they left the hot man in bandages with the short hairy dude who was like her best man buddy or something. Because apparently The Hotness had short hairy dudes for buddies.
They walked in silence. Jubilee could hear the woman's heart beat. Their feet seemed to take them to the Eiffel Tower, and with little effort they scaled the monument, sitting on the edge of some scaffolding.
Jubilee finally broke the silence, "Crazy night. You okay?"
"Yes."
"You sure?"
"Yes. Are you... okay?"
She flashed the green eyed woman a grin, "I'm like a rock star dude. I'm fantastic." She glanced at the other girl. If her heart still beat it would be flip flopping. Maybe it still was, "But...you know. If you ever want to talk about anything..anything at all. I'll be there for you. We're friends now. You get that, right? Friends take care of each other. Like family. You have family, X. You have us."
The girl seemed to gaze out over the city without seeing anything, "What if there are some things I cannot put into words."
Jubilee's smile faded, "Words are overrated. You can pick up the phone and we'll be quiet together."
Something pricked at her eyes. Vampires weren't supposed to cry that didn't stop the urge, "I just want you to know you can count on me..in case you ever need...in case you ever feel like you're.."
"I do not want to die."
"Oh well." Jubilee was relieved, "Neither do I."
"You are a vampire. You are already dead."
"Lets not get personal." Her lips curled up into a grin and she started to stand, "Besides, being alive is a state of mind. You have to..embrace the world. All the good and bad...and make it yours. You just have to go for it, X."
"Go for it?"
"Yeah." She threw her hands up like she could touch the sky, "Life is beautiful. It's beautiful and ugly. And crazy...but it's mostly just beautiful. Because it's ours. My time. Your time."
It was as much for herself as Laura. She felt suddenly alive again, next to her, "We can do anything. We can be anyone. That's the definition of being alive. That's magic!"
She glanced at Laura, her grin wider than ever as she fell forward, off the tower, "Race you to the bottom!" Her shout of joy echoed off the steel.
Above and behind her, she could hear the rustle of the wind as Laura leapt into the air to join her.
