Rogue was singing deck the halls as she decorated Xavier's school for the gifted.She'd just put the finishing touch on a desk out in the hall when Logan interrupted her christmas medley.

"I don't remember seeing santa's little helper on the to do list."

"I'm just trying to make this place look cheerier."

Logan rolled his eyes then went off into the study.He stared at Scott and Jean as they were trying to decide where to put the christmas tree.Same thing every year Logan thought.Xavier would always pick a different room for the tree.

"I don't see why we bother with a tree every year anyways.It's just a lot of work putting up a dead tree."

"Talk about a Scrooge." Scott whispered to Jean after Logan left the room.

Jean hit him playfully on the back."You know he has a hard time at christmas."

"What we don't know is why."

"You know the way Logan is."

That night Logan woke up for one of his nightmares. Looking towards the clock he saw that it was only midnight.

"Might as well get up." He said to himself.As he walked down the halls,he felt a cold wind blowing from the window.

He went to close it.When he reached the window and started to place his hands on it he saw a blinding light so blinding he had to cover his eyes.

All of a sudden,Storm was standing by his side.

"Storm?!..What's going on?"

"I'm not Storm.I'm the ghost of christmas past."

"You guys are loony if you think I'm going to fall for that!"

"This is not a game,Logan!"Storm knocked him over with another big wind.

"Ha,ha,You guys had your fun.Go back to bed!"

He softly pushed Storm over to the side.When he tried to let go he couldn't.

"I warned you!"Storm flew up in the air with Logan hanging on.

"Get me down from here!"

They raced across the sky and before he knew it Logan found himself in the middle of a snow bank.Kids were playing everywhere.

"W-Where are we?"

"You should know."

Logan stared closer shock came across his face.

"Th-That's me!Where are we?" Logan couldn't beleive his eyes.

"Do you not remember this christmas?"

"No!" Logan lied still looking a the teenage boy.

"It's when you ran away from home."

"Home?!That place was never home!"

"But you did grow up there?"

"What do you care!?"

"Watch." The ghost answered paying no mind to his question.

Logan let out a sigh but turned back to watch.

Another boy soon joined him in the snow.

Logan knew that face all to well.He cringed watching his once so called best freind Creed.

"What's this prove?"

"Your Christmas spirit."

"All youth has that!" Logan answered almost frowning."Get me out of here!"

The ghost took him to a log cabin.Looking inside the window Logan saw himself with his first love.

"You know this girl?"

"Of course I know her.She was going to..." He stopped himself shaking his head.

"Going to what?"

Logan shook his."It's all over and done with!"

"Going to have a baby?"

Logan's eyes softed."My baby."

He shook his head as if to clear the thought.

"Come there's one more stop." The ghost called.

"I don't want to see anymore."

The next thing he knew Logan was standing in the middle of the mansion a christmas party was going on.

"Logan,I want you to meet somebody!" Xavier called to him.

Rogue came into the room smiling."Hello"

"Logan catch!" Scott threw him a box wrapped up in christmas paper.

"Nice throw one eye!"

Logan watched then turned back to the ghost."Are we done now?"

Storm said nothing just touched his arm.Logan looked around the halls of the masion.Storm wasn't there and everthing looked normal.

"It was a dream,It had to be."

Logan smiled shaking his head.Just then another wind came from the window.

"No,Back off Storm!"

He circled around claws out,This time he was ready.All he saw was the curtain blowing.He gave a sigh of relief.After he closed the window,he saw a shadow over him.He turned to see Xavier.

"I have to show you something logan."

Logan's eyebrow went up."Another mission?But it's in the middle of the night."

"No mission...Just watch."

Xavier moved his hand and pointed towards the study where the christmas tree was.

The team was giving each other gifts and laughing.

"Where's logan?" Rogue asked.

"He won't leave his room!" Scott answered shaking one of his gifts.

"I wish he would come out I want to tell him what Bobby gave me!"

"I'm sure he'll be out later tonight.For now how about telling me?"

Rogue smiled."He sold his football to buy me a 14-karat gold necklase!"

"His autographed football?"

Rogue nodded "That's the one."

"He never let's it out of his sight!You are one lucky girl."

Logan then saw himself walking into the room.

"Out of my way!"

He knocked Rogue to the ground and went over to Bobby,who just got off the phone crying.

"What's the matter with you,Freeze boy?"

"M-My mom..She died."

"Everybody's got to go sometime!"

Bobby got mad and froze logan to the floor,then he took off.

"Come,there's much to see."

Logan followed Xavier,At the next stop he saw Scott looking over some papers.

Jean walked in just as he was talking to himself.

"What's wrong Scott?"

Scott looked up,A frown on his face,"We're going to lose the masion!"

"W-What are you talking about?"

"It's all here in black n white."

"What's one -uh,Scott talking about?"

"You have seen enough."

"No,I'm not leaving!Answer me!"

The Xavier ghost just turned around leaving through the front door.

When Logan ran after him,he was gone but the world was not the same.

"Where is everybody?!...What happened?!"

"Stryker happened!" Scott came from around the corner.

Logan face went white and he swore to himself."Let me at him!I'll show him a thing or two about.."

"There's nothing you can do." Scott adds holding him back.

"This place looks like a ghost town."

"Everyone's gone underground...At least everyone who's left."

"Uh?W-hat are you talking about Scott?"

Scott took him to a graveyard.Logan stared at the three names that were on the graves.Rogue,Storm,and Xavier.

A rain storm was brewing but Logan paid no mind to it.

Logan shook his head. "NO!Why did they die?" He asked Scott when he turn his head but Scott was gone.He was stuck in the graveyard alone.

"Logan,Wake up.It's christmas!"

Logan jumped up awake."Storm?..Your Alive!"

"Of course I'm alive." Storm says rolling her eyes.

Logan quickly kisses her and runs off excited.

"What was that all about?" Storm asked Jean when she saw the whole thing.Jean shrugs.

Logan runs out of the mansion and an hour later when he gets back,he's holding a bag full of money.

"Scott,here."

"What's this for?" Scottasked looking at the bag.

"This place needs it so use it!"

Scott's eyebrows go up."How did you know?"

"It's a long story,Just trust me on this one."

Logan walks pass bobby who's crying about his mom.

"Oh yeah,catch!" Logan throws his football at him.

"M-My football!Logan how?"

"Don't worry about how kid." Logan answers with a smile.
