Monday's Drabble Post

And now, Monday's drabble prompts:

Prompt: Friendship
“Hey Jubes, when’s your birthday?” Paige scribbled a few notes on her new calendar as Jubilee unloaded her bags from her stay at Xavier’s.
The other girl stopped what she was doing and looked confused. “No one’s ever asked me that before.”
Paige stared. “Never? Four years with the X-men and they never even asked?” Her eyes turned hard. “You’re on file; all they would have to do is look it up. That’s just…” She softened. “Well, you’re here with us now, and I’m going to be the first to say: Happy Belated Birthday.”
Jubilee looked a little embarrassed. “Thanks, Paige.” Laughing off whatever emotion she was hiding, she continued to throw clothes towards her dresser. “June 20th, I’m a Gemini.” A ghost of a smile made her more herself. “During Chinese New Year, before Grandma and Grandpa died, they use to bring me Horse stuff from China since I was born in the year of the horse. That’s the only time I think anyone has ever really said ‘hey, we’re glad you were born.’” She shrugged. “You get use to not celebrating it when no one else does.”
Paige was almost in tears, which really didn’t surprise Jubilee. Her friend was like that sometimes - must have been that time of the month. “That’s horrible, Jubes.”
The girl shrugged. “Don’t worry about it, Hayseed.”
But she did, as Jubilee later discovered, when she looked up hours later from her manga to find a candle topped cupcake staring her in the face.

Note: This one actually got me thinking about a theory on when Jubes was born, cause from what I could gather, no one's ever made a date canon. So, looking through all my astrology stuff, I gathered she's a Gemini-Horse, which REALLY fits her. I'm still a little iffy on a day, so I just threw the best one out there. Maybe I'll make a post about it. *shrug* I also made it where Jubes was with the X-men for four years since I sort of see GenX (and X-force I guess) as the "high school" level of X-men. So she would probably be 16 when she transfered...
I'm over analyzing. Sorry. *lol*
