"Alrighty, X, this," Scott motioned to the large brick building they were about to enter, "Is a bowling alley." He opened the door, letting the sound of crashing pins assail their ears. Scott let X go in before him and walked with her towards a counter which and elderly gentleman was standing behind.
"Haven't seen you here in a while, Shades," the man greeted, "and looks like you've got yourself a new bowling partner."
"She's just a friend, Otto," Scott told him. "Let's do..." he thought for a moment, "two games and we're both going to need shoes."
"You know, with all the time you've spent here you'd be better off just buying a pair."
"Yeah, but where am I going to get some that are two-toned," Scott joked as Otto ducked behind the counter and presented him with a pair of blue and gold shoes..."you still remember my shoe size?" He shook his head before turning to X, "what size shoe do you have?"

"UUUUUUMMMMM seven......I like the colors red or black please nothing pink or gold," she said excitedly looking around the place it was all so new. "This is so cool.......wait do I smell nacho's?" she asked and nerly thanked god when she saw a food stand type of thing. 'So what is bowling?" she asked as she waited for her shoe's.

Otto laughed as he ducked behind the counter. "You don't really choose the shoe colors, X...they're ugly so no one'll steal them. And yes, you probably smell Nachos." Otto came back around producing a pair of red and gold. "Red it is, you're in lane 5" the man said.
"Thanks, Otto," Scott replied, handing the shoes to X. "So, basically what bowling involves is putting on clown shoes, " he gestured to his own, "taking one of those bowling balls," he pointed to a rack of neon balls, " and throwing it down a greased lane to knock down a bunch of pins." As if on cue someone in one of the other lanes knocked down all of their pins in a rumble. "You get points for knocking down pins, the one with the most points wins."

"This should be easier then a game of pool," she said as she smiled her past training did come in handy alot. "So I take the ball and roll slash throw it at those white things and knock them down?" she asked as she put on the bowling shoe's. "I think I found my lest fave part of bowling...the shoe's," she said laughing slightly. "After can I have Nacho's?" she asked ecitedly.

"Well, I'll show you what I mean, but that's the basic concept. Oh, and you gotta watch out for the gutters." Scott said tying a double knot in his left shoelace...like the shoelace was really going to come undone if he didn't do it. Scott laughed, "I'll admit, the shoes are pretty awful looking, but bowling's not the most glamorous sport anyways...and...sure, why not, nachos?"
Scott got up and walked over to one of the ball racks. He eyed the weights and fingerholes, trying out a couple. True to form, the first one that happened to be the right size and fingerwith also happened to be a stunning bright pink. I really gotta buy one of these someday, he thought.

"Scott that is so your color," she joked as she looked for a ball. She found one perfect for her black and blood red. "I love being me," she said as she looked around. "Scott.....are you worried about tabby?" she asked she had found out tabby was gon to hawie.

"About Tabby," Scott questioned, walking onto the wooden floor and taking a practice swing before looking at X. "Is there some reason I should be?" he asked, the leader in his mind coming to the forefront...even if Tabby had technically left the X-Men he still considered her a member of the team a couple steps removed. "What's she gotten herself into?"

"We all haven't seen her much since she went off to join the Brotherhood." Scott watched X's ball roll down the lane...and knock down all the pins. "Surprised it didn't go straight into the gutter," he remarked, marking the score in the box "I had to use bumpers back when I started bowling...of course I was seven at the time...the aim was not there."
He walked over to the ball return and picked up the pink bowling ball. A look of calm concentration washed over his features before he rolled the ball..."Aw, man, it's a split," he groaned, as two corner pins stood in defiance. He'd never been able to get the correct spin on the bowling ball to knock both down, so he aimed for the one on the left, figuring he'd catch up to X eventually. Pin knocked down he turned to look at X, "This next frame's gonna be important, whatever you knock down gets put down twice."

"This may be my first game but trust me my training helps me figure things out in a different prospective...ever wounder how I never get caught braking rules?" she said as she rolled perfect strike. "See I only have to consetraite on what I want think captan jack's compus," she said using a exsample.

"I have sometimes wondered..." he mused, thinking about his own wade into social deviancy with Ray...he once again mentally noted that such behavior was never to be repeated by himself ever again. "Y'know, X, sometimes I can't believe how far you've come from being that angry kid wanting to kill Logan," Scott responded, realizing she too had seen Pirates of the Carribbean 2. Seeing the pins come crashing down Scott shook his head, "One more and you've got yourself a turkey."

"Hey johnny's sexy," she said and smiled. "I just use my sinces and it's easy to get away with it...by the way I sold a pair of your boxers on ebay," she said as she rolled her ball and got a seven ten split.

"Hope you got a good price for it," Scott told her, thinking of the few pairs of underwear still flying on the flagpole...pieces of cloth some people didn't want to admit they owned. "I didn't realize my boxers were a precious commodity that everyone was dying to get their hands on..." He marked her split on the scorecard. When would Otto decide to switch to computerized scoring? Not that it bothered Scott much but it was probably only a matter of time.
