X-Force: Beyond Omega

After a humiliating basketball defeat (which Jubilee would never let him forget), Aron found himself being dragged toward the roller coaster line. The coaster loomed ahead, a twisting mass of steel, its tracks disappearing into the neon-lit night sky.

Jubilee practically vibrated with excitement. "Alright, no backing out, mister 'I've fought cosmic beings.' You're riding the front seat with me!"

Aron gave the coaster a dubious look. "You do realize this thing is basically just controlled chaos, right?"

Jubilee grinned. "Exactly. Now come on!"

The line moved fast, and soon they were strapped in, the overhead harness locking into place with a mechanical click.

"You scared?" Jubilee teased, glancing at him.

Aron smirked. "Of a metal death trap designed to fling us at terrifying speeds? Nah. You?"

She scoffed. "Please, I was born for this."

The ride lurched forward.

The climb to the peak was agonizingly slow, each clank of the chain pulling them higher and higher. Jubilee threw her hands in the air, grinning. Aron, however, kept his hands firmly on the harness, watching as the ground got farther and farther away.

At the very top, there was a brief moment of stillness.

Then—

WHOOSH!

They plunged.

Jubilee's laughter and delighted screams mixed with the cheers and shouts of other riders as the coaster twisted through loops, sudden drops, and dizzying turns. Aron found himself grinning despite everything, the rush of the wind, the pure adrenaline... it was kind of fun. 

Well, he was busy looking at her happy face nearly the entire ride.

As the ride slowed to a stop, Jubilee turned to him with a wide grin. "That was awesome! Did you like it?"

Aron rolled his shoulders. "Eh. It was alright."

Jubilee gasped. "Liar! You had fun!"

He smirked. "Maybe a little."

"Good. 'Cause we're not done yet."

Jubilee barely gave Aron a second to breathe before dragging him to the next ride—Top Spin.

"You love flinging me around, don't you?" Aron muttered as they sat down and the harnesses locked in place.

"Absolutely," Jubilee confirmed with a wicked grin.

The ride started.

Aron immediately regretted everything.

Top Spin was pure madness. The seats flipped. The entire platform flipped. They were upside-down, then sideways, then upside-down again. Of course, Jubilee laughed the entire time, arms thrown up like she had no care in the world. Aron was less enthusiastic, gripping the handles like his life depended on it.

When the ride finally ended, Jubilee hopped off like nothing happened. Aron, on the other hand, took a second to steady himself.

Jubilee smirked, patting his back. "You look a little green, champ."

"I'm fine," he said, ignoring the spinning world around him.

Jubilee nudged him. "One more ride."

"Please tell me it's something normal."

She grinned.

Aron groaned the second he realized where she was leading him.

"The drop tower, Jubilee? Really?"

Jubilee batted her lashes innocently. "You have to experience the gut-drop at least once!"

"This feels personal."

"Oh, it is."

There was no escape. Before Aron could even try to back out, they were strapped in, feet dangling.

"Any last words?" Jubilee teased.

Aron exhaled. "I'll remember this, Jubes."

The tower shot them up.

For a moment, there was peace. A breathtaking view of the entire theme park.

They plummeted.

Jubilee cackled as the ride dropped them at a horrifying speed, their stomachs left behind somewhere at the top. Aron definitely let out a startled noise, though he'd deny it later.

As soon as they hit the ground, Aron unbuckled and stood up, giving Jubilee an unimpressed look.

She wiped away a tear of laughter. "You okay there, tough guy?"

Aron crossed his arms. "You do realize I'm getting revenge for this, right?"

Jubilee smirked. "Bring it on."

After surviving Jubilee's need for chaos, Aron finally convinced her to do something calm... a boat ride.

The ride was slow and peaceful, the gentle ripples of water reflecting the soft glow of lanterns along the shore. Jubilee leaned back, stretching her arms behind her head.

"Alright, this is nice," she admitted.

Aron smiled. "Glad you approve."

A few minutes later...

Jubilee leaned her head on Aron's shoulder, her usual endless energy momentarily subdued. "Okay, fine," she murmured. "This was a good idea."

Aron smirked, tilting his head slightly to rest against hers. "Told you."

"You still screamed on the drop tower, though."

"I did not," he scoffed.

Jubilee snorted. "Oh, you absolutely did."

Aron rolled his eyes but didn't argue. He could still feel the phantom sensation of plummeting through open air. He wasn't about to admit that it was, in some twisted way, exhilarating.

For a while, they just sat in comfortable silence, the boat drifting lazily along the water. Jubilee traced patterns on the wooden railing, her fingers tapping lightly as if she was trying to hold onto the last bits of excitement from the night.

Then, softly, she said, "You know, you're kind of a good sport."

Aron raised a brow. "Kind of?"

"Yeah. You act all grumpy, but you still let me drag you onto every ridiculous ride."

Aron chuckled. "I figured if I didn't, you'd never let me live it down."

"Correct."

He glanced down at her, taking in the way her hair caught the glow of the lanterns, her usual teasing smirk softened into something gentler. There was something about the way she looked right now... content, happy... that made his heart beat just a little faster.

Jubilee turned her head slightly, meeting his gaze. "What?" she asked, her voice quieter now.

Aron hesitated for a split second before his hand moved instinctively, slipping around her waist. "Nothing," he murmured, his voice low. "Just... thinking."

"About?"

He smirked. "How much trouble you are."

Jubilee grinned. "You love it."

He didn't answer with words. Instead, he pulled her closer, closing the small space between them. Their lips met, slow and warm, a contrast to the chaos of their night. Jubilee's breath hitched slightly, but she melted into it, her fingers curling into his jacket.

The world around them seemed to fade away—the carnival, the neon lights, the memory of roller coasters and sudden drops. For a moment, it was just them, the gentle sway of the boat, and the quiet hum of the night.

When they finally pulled away, Jubilee smirked. "See? I knew you'd have fun tonight."

Aron chuckled, pressing his forehead lightly against hers. "Yeah, yeah. Don't let it go to your head."

"Too late."

The boat ride continued, but neither of them really paid attention anymore. Jubilee nestled closer, and Aron tightened his hold around her. Maybe the theme park wasn't the worst idea.

Maybe, just maybe, he'd let her drag him along on another adventure.

...

[Let's go to the other side...]

A short distance away, hidden among the crowds, two figures observed.

Kitty Pryde crossed her arms, eyes flicking between Aron and Jubilee. "Alright, I knew Jubilee wanted a normal date, but I still can't believe he's actually going along with it."

Emma Frost, standing beside her, smirked. "He promised her. And unlike most men, Aron actually keeps his promises."

Kitty sighed. "Yeah, but it's so weird seeing him act like a normal guy. No reality-breaking powers. No mind-reading. Just… bumper cars and roller coasters."

Emma arched a brow. "Isn't that the point?"

Kitty huffed. "Yeah, yeah, I get it. Let them have their moment. Still, you do realize that if he finds out we're spying, he's gonna be pissed, right?"

Emma gave a knowing smile. "Ah, but he won't find out. Without his powers, he's as oblivious as any other love-struck fool."

Kitty shook her head. "So, what? We're just gonna tail them all night?"

Emma smirked, eyes flicking toward the boat ride where Jubilee and Aron were laughing softly. "Absolutely. Consider it a... learning experience." She took out a small camera. "And something to tease the hell out of our man. Let's capture all his embarrassing moments."

Kitty sighed, watching as Jubilee playfully splashed Aron.

"Yeah, yeah," she muttered. "But if we get caught, I'm blaming you."

Emma simply smiled.

"Darling, we never get caught."
