Jean Grey was officially off the clock, which meant she had oodles of time on her hands to do whatever she pleased. Normally, whenever she had free-time, she'd spend time with her husband (when he wasn't so busy trying to avoid her) or she'd curl up somewhere with a good book and read. But, for this particular evening, Jean had other plans in minds and these plans came in the form of girl!time; something Jean rarely ever partook in anymore, due to various factors in her life. In fact, she really couldn't remember the last time she had spent quality time with Ororo and Lorna together.
As soon as she found out she didn't have to go back down to the lab, she left notes on each of their doors (cordially inviting them both for a little R&R in hers and Scott's bedroom around 8-ish). While she waited, Jean had busied herself gathering all of the junk food (which wasn't much, but she had managed to hide a few pints of ice cream in the back of the fridge - for a special occasion) and a few DVDs from the collective stash in the Rec Room. It might've been a simple plan but, to Jean, this was going to be absolute heaven compared to sitting around in the stuffy lab for hours on end. Something mindless and fun would probably do her some good.
Around 7:51, Jean had hurried back up to her bedroom to slip out of her doctor's attire and change into something more comfortable (a pair of green PJ shorts and a matching tank top). With several minutes to spare, she had clambered onto the bed and positioned herself cross-legged, while she waited for the girls to arrive. If, for whatever reason they couldn't make it, Jean was going to make the most of her night off.
