I read this early Friday morning before I left to go to Canada for the weekend, so I didn't get a chance to review after I first read it, but it just meant I got to come back and read it again. =)

I love how Marie finally lets it all out. Things aren't going to get fixed unless you say something. But Mom, sisters and Scott all are working things out, so thats good. Now they just have to go out and face all the party guests. Sounds like fun. Maybe Logan will show up and make life very interesting. ;-)

Looking forward to the next chapter.



Oh....the AU story I mentioned in my last review was Unconditional by sharonmjl47. It's pretty good, I think you'd enjoy it.

Author's Response: thanks for the review and ooh, am i jealous that you're in canada right now. business or pleasure? i've been 'planning' a trip to canada for the last 9 months. meaning, i want to go but the opportunity to get away hasn't presented itself yet. stupid work.
unconditional was an interesting one and i haven't read that one in a great while. probably since it was first posted. kudos to you for reminding me about it!

Great stuff, I'm also very glad to see Jean and Marie finally getting along. I've always been a fan of the Marie and Jean friendship, as long as Jean was perfectly distracted by Scott as far as men were concerned. Or at least not focused on Logan. *grins* I can't wit for more.

I was just about to give you a polite little nudge when I opened my mailbox and saw a happy little 'favorite story update' email. *grins*

And those pics are just wonderful. Absoutely the best... I think I probably made some of those inapropriate gestures and noises you were talking about earlier.

Author's Response: heh, those noises and gestures are purely instant physical reactions to his hotness factor. at least with me. they just couldn't be helped. ;) Thanks for the feedback on this chapter. I agree about J and M. *IF* Jean's character is written as a likeable one, I think she and Marie compliment each other in a way. but, for the most part, i still have jean issues. and these aren't based soley on the movie, either. these go way back to the early 90's, at least. oh well. if it wasn't her it would have been someone else for me to take my aggressions out on. =)

THANK YOU FOR UPDATING!!!!

So, first of all, sorry for all the work you had at your job. Why can't your boss see that this fic is way more important than all those papers he gave you? =P

Well, I'm just so jealous of you right now because of your new puppy. I'm thinking seriously of getting one too, even if my mother will kill me when she finds out!

So, to the story...
like everyone else, I wanted more Logan in this, but totally agree that you had to fix things between Marie and Jean first. I loved the scene in the three house. Very touching!

I think everyone who has a sister (or in my case, a brother) feels like those two. I'm a lot like Jean, actually, only I had to be perfect in everything because that was the only way of getting my parents atention. I bet my brother feels like I get all the atention because I'm the perfect one. Brother and sister relationships are always hard, no matter what! Anyway, this is not a terapy section! =P

Continuing with the story: I love the 'will they or won't they' with Jean and Scott. Although I don't like the Jean from the movies, I have no problem with this one. So it's ok if she gets a happy ending!

Now, the most important thing: please don't take another week to update again!!! Don't go to work, call in sick, just don't torture us again...hahahahaha

Oh, and please don't finish this story too soon. It's soo good I wouldn't mind reading another more 20 chapters!

MORE UPDATE PLEASE!!!!

Author's Response: well, my advice is to not show up at home one day with an unannounced 162 lb dane that's 36" at the shoulder. Most mom's aren't usualy real keen on their kids and their 'bright ideas' when that happens. =P
Thanks for the all great feedback. I was trying to make the discussion intimate so i didn't want it to happen in the middle of a party or in a big 'ole kitchen. i'm glad the treehouse worked. and hey-- if they had broken into a fight atleast there, where it's cramped, they couldn't have inflicted much damage on the other person. hm. unless one defenestrated another. huh. anyway, glad you liked it and it worked.
as for all the rest, in a nut shell-- you know the story must come to an end and that end will be soon. :( so sorry. and also, it is saturday morning, the sun is barely out, and i am already stuck behind my computer at the office, working on these papers. Stupid, stupid, real life. Grr.

Awww. Thats so sweet. No get Logan and Rogue back together!

Author's Response: lol. why do i get the feeling that this was not a request but a demand with a twist of Or Else thrown in? :\ but hey! tomorrow is saturday. so unless they have me working at the office to finish up these *gulp* 1200 *sob* papers, maybe i'll have time to work on the next chapter. who knows. it might actually be written and posted sooner rather than later. :D
maybe.

thanks for posting again I luv this very unique fic you've created. I just checked out those pics and wow, that's how I imagined him in this story. Can't wait to read the next chapter, and find out if Scott really can help Marie fix it. not that I'm expecting you to answer but your going for a Scott and Jean paring aren't you???

Author's Response: thank you for the compliment. and i know what you mean about those pictures. i was drooling over my keyboard like a saint bernard and probably looked about as sexy as a slug doing it. lol.
as for the J/S pairing I'm not sure how i'm going to work it. as i'm sure you've noticed i've slowly, and very discreetly, been playing with them and giving them an air of 'will they or won't they?'. so we'll see. ;)
