okay, that closing thought was hilarious.

Fran reaction was quite interesting, and she made a very interesting point at the end - "But I want you to promise me you won’t get involved in anything dangerous." - And for some reason foreshadowing something will come up like that in the future, whether its the disease of Trasks or something else that will come down the road. Whatever it is, Im sure Pam will make the right decision; but hopefully whatever that decision may be will keep both her family same and hopefully not stop Ray and her from seeing eachother. Great chapter.

That was great! Sorry for my constantly short reviews, but normally its pretty much the same stuff I have to say. That is was great, but the spelling/grammar could be better. I think Pam's mom's reaction was done fine. Her mom being so lenient and all, but to find her daughter dating a mutant, that would have to make her a bit wary. Like I said, I'm sorry about the short 'It was great' reviews, but the only other thing I really have to comment on is your spelling/grammar and even that gets a bit redundant after awhile.

Fran seemed to take Ray's being a mutant thing pretty well, though I don't know how she would feel if she found out he was once homeless. Hehe, Fran would prefer a mutant dating her daughter than a college kid...cute...

I like Fran, she seems really nice and also seems to be very level headed. I mean yes she is worried that her daughter is dating a mutant and more importantly a student of the Xavier Institute - so she is allowed to worry in my opinion since they do seem to run into more trouble than even the average mutant - but she knows that it's not about what you are but who you are.

I loved that she thought it would be worse if her daughter dated someone older.:)

I also thought it was nice that you mentioned the whole Amy/Gale situation. I was really sad when they broke up.

Anyway great one-shot, Agent-G! :)

Nice little one shot. It would have been nice to see more of the mother's reaction to him being a mutant, more conversation between them, but the warriness while trying to be open works. Anyways good for Ray, I like him and Pam together, as well as the attention you give an often overlooked character.

The conversations and dialogue between Pam and her mother are very realistic and well-written, and you're right: It can always be worse. (Words I live by.) Very nice one-shot addition to your AGU-verse. :)

This a short, entertaining story exploring and deeping in an underused character. I think you have pulled it out very well. It was tender and funny. Kudos for it.

Great story! Pam and her mom's conversations were very realistic. Loved the 'It could be worse' touch at the end. Great job!

Hi Agent-G!

The first thing that came to my mind after I finished this was how Fran would react to seeing the New Mutants or the X-Men in action. Not on TV but in front of her eyes.

Pam's mom seems nice. And like every sane mom she worries about her daughter...

That part about Pam's cooking was hilarious!

Is it just me or the ending is foreshadowing something? "But I want you to promise me you won’t get involved in anything dangerous." At least she knows what she's talking about. Pam's the wild one. So she's likely to end up getting involved into something dangerous. :P

Good job,

-Lina.

Now this sounds very realistic. Ray seemed so normal worrying about making a good impression. I loved learning more about Pam's home life and hearing her defend mutants was priceless. Pam's mom is awsome. Great one shot!

Ah, good. I was wondering when this was going to happen. I'd thought you'd do this after everyone got cured.

This was bound to happen sooner or later. Better to get it over and done with.

Good idea and wishful thinking to break it off. Bad idea if they want to continue dating. Otherwise, they're going to have to do what Kurt and Amanda did after the incident with Toad.

If her mother is what Pam will look like in the future, Ray's going to be very lucky.

Ouch! A definite NO-NO on Tom's part. And that's putting it mildly.

Perhaps, but shouldn't Fran shoulder some of the blame as well? I mean, she did get knocked up with perhaps the first stud she saw. Or something like that.

Okay. A good retort on Fran's part. And justifiable too, since she was using Pam's own words against her.

Good vow. But moments like this are strong temptations for breaking it and taking a drink.

So she gave her mother the detailed 411. Well, almost all of it. Since she didn't know all the details of Vince's past, no way could she have brought that up. I also think she kept the depth of Scott/Jean and Vince/Rogue to herself.

I guess her being uneasy about the topics on mutants is about the one thing she might have in common with Bobby's parents. I'm basing this on Bobby's chapter from When I look in the Mirror. For that matter, I think a majority of people fall into this category.

Fran's approach seems to be the only acceptable one available.

LOL on Pam's last minute warning.

He should have talked to Kurt for some advice. To quote Mary from Adjustments, "Be afraid. Be very afraid." Though not as frightening as facing her father might have been.

First name on the first dinner? Personally, I'd rather make her feel old instead of giving the impression I might do what Tom did.

LOL on Pam's cooking. I'm surprised Ray didn't say something to cheer up. Something like, "Cheer up, Pam. Had it been Kitty, you wouldn't be in this apartment right now."

Well everything seemed to have gone well. Her concerns are justified with the likes of FOH, Hellfire Club, Neyaphem, and Acolytes out there. Maybe there should be a follow-up where Fran visits the mansion, where she can express these same concerns to Xavier.

Somehow I think Joseph, and maybe Amy, might go through the same thing Pam did when they bring Rahne and Gale to meet their parents respectively.

Lol, the college boy comment was funny. And its great that she is accepting of him. Can't wait for more!

Nice little one shot my friend! Very sweet and realistic when you think about it. It's something you probably wouldn't see in the show or the comics, but it deals with a very real issue. Parents dealing with who their kids interact with and how they feel about it is very relevent to everybody and I think you've cpatured it well. I'm glad that Fan was able to have an open mind about Ray, but I sense she does have some insecurities. It's not like everything is all peaches and cream, which helps lend creedence to the whole realism aspect. Overall, nice fic dude! Really good. I say keep it up! Stay cool like you always do! Peace.
