Jason took his nieces for the day the next evening while Xavier and Lilly had some alone time. He was playing dress up with them in the living room, doing things most uncles probably would never do.

When Serenity finally woke up, she first called Lilly and apologized about 10 times for what had taken place, asking if there was any way she could make it up to her. After, she called Jason, intending to beg for forgiveness just as she had with Lilly. In truth, she'd known from the start having Steve around them was not a good idea. She was hoping he would be able to bite his tongue and be polite, apparently too much to ask of him. The night before, she had thrown all of his bags and belongings out of the front window of their 5th story apartment and onto her streets. The locksmith had come and changed the locks on the door, ensuring he had no way of getting in.

Lilly assured Serenity she was not at fault, and that she was forgiven if she'd stop begging for it, and that she would like to invite her, and her ALONE, over for dinner with the family the following evening. XAvier spoke with Serenity as well to assure her the same thing as Lilly. Jason picked up his phone. "Hello?" he answered in a girly voice- they were playing princesses at his home, so he had to sound like one.

"Ummm..?" Serenity said, unsure if she had dailed the right number. Maybe he'd gotten a new staff member, or maybe he'd had a girl spend the night. Cringing at the idea, she said, "May I speak to Jason please?"

"Oh! Princess Serenity! This is Princess jason-" His nieces broke into giggles and started to shout in the background, "HI SERENITY! HI PRINCESS SERENITY!" He excused himself from the room for a moment to speak with her, smiling and laughing. "Sorry about that," he said in a normal voice. "THey wanted to play princess, and said I had to be one too...You'd laugh if you saw me now."

Forcing a stifled laugh from her lips, Serenity said, "Look Jason, I'm really sorry about yesterday. I had no idea things were going to turn out this way. I never meant to offend anyone, especially not your family." she said, her tone tense in anticipation of his reaction.

"Don't worry about it Serenity. It wasn't your fault or anything, he chose to be a bastard. And the kids forgot it completely when you sent the chocolate over. Hey, are you going to dinner tomorrow? Lilly's the best chef in any place ever."

After a moment of silence, she responded, "Yes..... I would hate to offend Lilly by declining. She's such a sweetheart. What time is it?"

"Just make sure you're home around four tomorrow, and I'll come get you. Do you have to work?"

"No." she said, glancing over at the clock. "Is this a formal thing or what?" she asked, wondering if she should wear a dress or just jeans.

"Whatever you'd like to wear, it's not formal at their dinner. Lilly's just making something big tomorrow for fun- she'll do that every once and awhile."

"Thats nice of her." Serenity said, sincere in her words. "She's a wonderful person. I can understand why you love her so much." After a moment of silence, Serenity said, "So, I guess I'll see you tomorrow at 4."

"Yes- where's your apartment?" he asked, not knowing where it was.

"Its out west, on the corner of Greenbrooke and 23rd sreet." she said, giving him her adress. "You don't have to pick me up. I actually have a car. I can drive myself." she said,, not wanting to inconvenience him.

"No, let me come get you- please?" he asked, using a pleading note in his voice.
