The weather couldn't get any better that day, and for a certain someone, it was his most fateful day— a day where his life would change in an instant and he'll finally be able to reach out his hand for the dreams he had ever since he was young.

Jean Grey's eyes fluttered open as sunlight peered through the windows, invading his room and hitting him directly on the face. He squinted as soon as his eyes opened, and he wiped the morning dust off his eyes as he rolled on his bed.
