Adventures in Betting and Snooping, or: how Jubilee & Kurt played chess and got more than they bargained for
Ororo chooses that moment to poke her head in, telling them it's time to eat. "Find what?" she asks, as they make their way to the dining room.
"Find the Professor a date," says Kurt. "Jubilee thinks he was on one yesterday, but since we all know that's not true - "
"It is! You know what? Fine," says Jubilee. "I'll bet you ten dollars that he was on a date."
Kurt stops walking and studies her. Bets mean things are serious. "Fine. If he was on a date, you win. If he was with Magneto, you pay up."
Jubilee sticks out her hand, and Kurt shakes it. "Deal."
(Ororo spends a few seconds wondering if she should say something, and then wisely keeps her mouth shut.)
