It is 2076. A time when mutants are more then accepted, they are everywhere and everyone. Where to be a normal human meant ridicule and unexceptance. A time when the oldest mutants were held in the highest respect for what they went through. The mutant whom we are talking about in particular is one named Jubilation Lee. She is, at this time, seventy-seven years old, has two children, and three grandchildren.
“Grandma?” Said her eldest grandchild, whom was fifteen years old at the time.
“Yes, Rachel?” She replied.
“Why don’t you ever talk about when you were younger anymore? I haven’t heard you tell us a story about the anti-mutant era.”
“Yeah, Grandma! Tell us a story, please.” Said her second eldest grandchild, age eleven.
“Well, Eric, only if Tanga wants to hear it to. Do you want to Tanga?”
The child, who was standing in his play pen, teleported himself in front of his grandmother. “YEAH!” He yelled in reply.
“All right then, what do you want to hear? The time I was in the X-Men? The X-Factor? Or when I was a revolutionists with my father, Logan?”
“Let’s hear about Great Grandpa Logan!” Said Eric.
“Yeah!” Said Rachel as she sat in the chair next to her grandmother.
“YEAH!” Yelled Tanga.
“Well, he was a good man, rough. He never took no for an answer...”

Jubilee sat in front of the TV, waiting for here favorite show to come on. She loved “Pokemon”. She thought it was about the X-Men, how there were creatures that were strange, and they beat all of the bad people.
As the infamous tune came on, she yelled out, “POKEMON!!!”
“Don’t be so loud!” Yelled Cyclops.
“Sorry. I can’t control myself.”
“Just don’t be so loud next time.”
“All right! I promise!” She said over the music. “Yeah...” She whispered as a joke.
“That’s better.” Said Cyclops seriously. As Jubilee sat there watching Pokemon, about two inches from the screen, she grew a huge grin as Ash Katchem beat another gym leader.
“YES!!” She yelled, throwing her arms up in glory, unable to control herself.
“Hey kid! Don’t forget that I have supersonic hearing too, and that doesn’t heal as fast as the rest of me.” Said Wolverine as he walked into the recreation room.
“Oh, hey Wolverine. Sorry.”
“You say sorry to him, but you don’t even listen to me?” Said Cyclops a little annoyed.
“That’s because you’re not her father.” Wolverine answered Jubilee.
“Nor are you.”
“If you weren’t the one in charge right now, so help me...”
“Quite! The show isn’t over yet!” Yelled Jubilee.
“Listen squirtle, I’m going into town to get some stuff. You wanna come with?” Asked Wolverine.
“Just give me five minutes, okay?”
“All right, but only five. I’ll wait for you in the jeep.”
Wolverine was listening to some Garth Brooks in the jeep when Jubilee came out. She was carrying a CD with her.
“It’s been ten minutes. What have you been doing?” Asked Wolverine.
“Nothing, I was looking for my CD.”
“What CD?”
“Brittany Spears.”
“WHAT! I would rather listen to Cyclops give a lecture on tooth decay then listen to anything LIKE that!”
“Just kidding! It’s Rancid.”
“Well, that’s better. Put it in.” Jubilee put the CD in and pressed play. Just as the song started to play, the jeep went screeching back, made a one-eighty power slide before actually starting down the driveway.
In town, Jubilee looked around. She saw someone she used to know from the mall.
“HEY! JASON!!” She yelled while standing up and waving. But she noticed all to late that he was wearing an ‘Friends Of Humanity’ wrist band and tee shirt. Unfortunately, Jason new about Jubilee’s power and that she was a mutant.
“MUTANT!!” Jason yelled. “Get the dirty mutant!!”
“Jubilee? Why did you do that.” Wolverine asked before punching the gas pedal forcing them both back into there seats. In the rear view mirror, the site of three cars chasing them was visible. And from the looks of it, they were gaining on them.
A car pulled up on the passenger side, there were three guys and a girl in the car.
“Go back to where you came from!” Said a guy Jubilee recognized.
“Don’t you remember me!?” She asked.
“I don’t give a rats ass who you are!” He said while swinging at the car with a baseball bat. But Jubilee counter acted with a blast of fireworks at the engine.
“What are you doing you God damn mutant!?” Yelled the girl in the car. But Wolverine swerved a left so Jubilee didn’t have the chance to blast another shot at them. Before the FOH members could catch up, they swerved into an alley.
“Now that we lost them, we need to go get some new clothes. I only have three more shirts that aren’t ripped.”
At the mall, Jubilee ran straight to the arcade without even asking if she could go.
“Jubilee...!” Yelled Wolverine, but she didn’t even answer.
In the arcade, Jubilee was playing a game when Wolverine ran in.
“Jubes? What the hell are you doing?!”
“Playing Virutua Fighter two. It sucks now, but it was the only one not being played yet. What are you doing? Where’s your stuff?”
“I didn’t even get to the store yet, the ‘Friends’ are here. They saw me. We gotta go!”
But he was cut of when a voice from the front yelled, “There’s the mutants!
Get ‘em!”
“Crap, and I was just about to beat the fifth level, too!”
“Forget the game! We gotta get out!” With that, the infamous SHINK could be heard. With his claws shining and Jubilee’s hands blazing. The fight to get out started. They split up, trying not to hurt anyone not trying to stop them, but everyone there seemed to be against them. Even the seven year old playing ‘Metal Slug.’
“She’s over there!” Yelled a familiar voice. “There’s Jubilee!” It was Jason, and he had a gun.
“Don’t make me hurt you!” Yelled Jubilee with her hands ready to fire.
“Oh, you don’t want to hurt old Jason? Do you? You don’t have to, I’ll just put you out of your misery, mutant!” And he shot at Jubilee.
She ran to the other side of the room, which was further from the front then she began. This time, she didn’t even hear anyone out, she didn’t like to be lied to. She shot in all directions behind her, hitting two people. But she was out numbered. She backed into a corner, and as an animal who feels threatened, she attacked. She shot one fire at who used to be her best girl-friend. But she missed. Then she just shot at the next person in sight, hit! Three down, ten to go. She fired all around, hitting only every once in a while. Only five were standing now. But they had completely surrounded her, and she was to tired to fight anymore.
“I thought you loved me?” Said Jason, “If you truly love me, then you’ll just give up and die.”
“Not today, bub!” Said a familiar voice.
“I thought you killed him!?” Jason yelled at another.
“I heal easily.” Wolverine said as he jumped on one, taking him down with a thud. “Who’s next!?” He yelled. Three of them ran in panic, but Jason stayed.
“I am...” He said before picking up an arcade machine and throwing it at Wolverine. Wolverine flew back and hit the wall making an indentation.
“You’re a mutant too?!” Yelled Jubilee in disbelief.
“No! I hate mutants! I’m just stronger then most people!” Jason yelled back. He looked angry, but strangest of all, his eyes glowed a bright red. “I hate you, you mutant!” His voice had become a growl. That’s when he went through his change. His mutant change.
First his skin became coarser, like sand paper. You could see bits of hair growing here and there like tufts if grass. Then he became more muscular, his skin seemed to stretch until it was going to break. But worst were his nails and teeth. They grew longer and sharper, he started to look like someone Jubilee knew. That’s when it hit, he looked almost exactly like Sabertooth.
That’s when Wolverine woke up. “Whoa, where’d he come from.”
“Jason?” Asked Jubilee.
“What’s... What’s happened!? I can’t be a mutant! I can’t be a mutant!!” He yelled before running out of the arcade, jumped down from the third floor to the first floor, and ran out into the parking lot.
“What was that all about?” Asked Wolverine.
“That was an enemy becoming a friend again.”
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
“Hey! That wasn’t about Great Grandpa Logan at all!” Said Rachel.
“YEAH!” Yelled Tanga.
“He was only in a little of the story, it was mostly about that Jason guy.”
Added Eric.
“Don’t talk about your Grandfather that way! He was a kind man!” Said the old Jubilee.
“Grandpa used to be an FOH member?” Asked Eric.
“Yes, he was.”
“But what about Great Grandpa Logan?” Asked Rachel.
“YEAH!” Added Tanga.
“Well, last I heard, he was in South America still having his journeys.”
“HE’S STILL ALIVE!?” They all asked in unison.
At the same time, a short, rugged, yet handsome looking man sat on a rock.
He looked up at the sky, then he looked down at the postcard he was writing.
He started.
“Hello Jubilee. Long time no see. It’s me, Logan.” He continued writing through the night talking about all the adventures he had, and how he missed his little girl.
