I don't own X-Men Evolution or ANY of the characters in this story... The wonderful world of MARVEL does. Hope you enjoy the story.

It was mid-night and all was peaceful at the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters. All were long into their dreams except for one, a young girl. This girl was sitting on her bed with her knees rolled up to her chest and her arms wrapped tightly around them. Her baby blue eyes making out the shape of her roommate sleeping peacefully in her bed. Her soft brown hair hanging over her face, not in the ponytail she always wore.

Deep in her head she was thinking "I shouldn't feel this way about him. He is, like, one of my enemies for crying out loud! Kitty pull yourself together, you deserve better than someone who uses stupid rock puns and has serious temper issues. But he is so cute and we are from the same place and we totally click. But he also almost killed me AND my parents. On the other hand he also saved me a few times. Gah! I'm so confused."

She was cut off mid-thought with Jean in her mind saying "Call him" She walked out of her room and knocked on Jean's door. Within 3 seconds the red-headed mutant answered the door.

"Why were you in my head?" Kitty asked slightly annoyed.

"It's kind of hard to sleep with you screaming in it." Jean said back.

Kitty's face fell, "Sorry. But you know I can't call him, he might think I'm a stupid little girl with a crush. And also think what Scott and Mr. Logan will say."

Jean put her hand under Kitty's chin and lifted it up to look straight into her eyes and said with the most sincere voice, "You like him, all you can do is try. And don't worry I'll handle Scott and Logan."

"But it's the middle of the night I don't want to wake him or anyone else up." Kitty said blinking.

"Okay, so call him in the morning or go see him," Jean told the young mutant, "Now get to bed you look awful!"

"Thanks a lot!" Kitty said behind her shoulder as she walked away slumping.

The next morning Kitty was woken up by Scott running up and down the hallway yelling, "Wake up! Breakfast then Danger Room! Hurry!"

Kitty rolled over in bed and held the pillow tight over her head trying to drown out Scott's voice. She groaned.

"Kitty, can ya just wake up so he will shut his mouth?!" Rogue asked annoyed for being woken up at the crack of dawn.

"I got, like, no sleep last night. Scott can get tackled by a million Jamie's for all I care, right now." Kitty replied sleepily.

"Okay, sounds good with me. I'm gonna go tell Jamie." Rogue said with no sarcasm in her voice. She was dead serious.

Rogue turned to walk away but then turned back around and tapped a finger on Kitty's elbow. Then she ran through the walls to Jamie's room.

"Ow." Kitty said with a major headache now. She rolled onto her back to sit up. She wiped her eyes expecting to see a super bright room, but it wasn't. The room had a pink-ish orange tint to it. Kitty threw her legs over the side of her bed and stood up. Rogue ran back trough the wall as soon as Kitty started walking to her vanity.

"Jamie is on it. Well his clones are at least. The real Jamie is half asleep. Oh and sorry about stealing your powers." She said quickly. Almost reminding her of Pietro.

"It's okay. As long as it will..." She got cut off by the sound of Scott using his power then a THUD! "Well that was a success."

Then she remembered what she and Jean were talking about the other night. She was going to go talk to him. Get things straightened out. And most of all see how he feels. But first she had to get out of the mansion.

"Hey Rogue, I'm going to, like, umm, take a shower and maybe do homework." Kitty said hoping Rogue wouldn't notice the lies in her voice.

"Okay. Have fun. I guess." Rogue replied to busy fumbling with her make-up to care.

Kitty quickly got dressed and ran out the front doors without being seen. "Now how to get there?" She asked herself. She walked casually to the front gates and walked through them. She decided to run. She got there in approximately 10 minutes.

"Just say someone sent you." She whispered to herself. "Okay" She took a sigh of relief.

She walked up the steps to the door. Rang the bell and waited. She heard yelling from inside.

"Someone is at the door!" Todd yelled.

"Why don't you answer it you're not doing anything!" Pietro yelled back.

"Can someone just let me in?!" Kitty yelled. She didn't realize she actually said it until it came out of her mouth. "Oops."

"Oh great it's one of the X-Geeks." She heard Fred say arrogantly.

Lance opened the door, and Kitty felt heat start rising to her cheeks.

"Hey Lance." She said trying to hold back a smile.

"What are you doing here?" Lance asked confused.

"Umm, I don't know. I was thinking about a lot of things last night and those thoughts led me here... to you." Kitty said as her voice got softer near the end.

"Why me?" He saw her shiver as it started to flurry. "Oh, come in if you want."

"Thanks." Her voice was still a little louder than a whisper.

They both walked inside and the other boys were looking at them from the kitchen. All of their heads poked around the corner. The two sat on the couch and Lance offered Kitty a blanket to warm up.

"I just want some answers." Kitty confessed.

"Answers to what?" Lance asked curiously.

"I don't know... I guess our relationship." Kitty said blushing but keeping her head down to hide it. Lance had flinched a little when she said 'relationship'.

"What relationship do you mean exactly?" Lance replied, trying to get the answer he wanted very badly to hear.

"Like, I guess if we are friends, you have a crush on me or vice-versa, or if we think it might be more, like ... love" She said shakily. It was hard for her to say these words. What had happened to her plan? She was going to play it cool, but obviously that ship left the dock as soon as she thought of it.

"Tell me how you feel first and I promise I won't change mine on what yours is." Lance requested.

"Okay. Lance, I think I am in love with you." Kitty said looking him straight in the eyes as if to say this is the whole truth.

"YES! She said it; she said the words I've been dreaming she would say. Except only this is real, it's not a dream... or is it. I can't just pinch myself right now that would make me feel stupid." He thought to himself. Her eyes started welling with tears. "Kitty, I love you, too. Except, I know I love you." He said to her with the upmost of confidence.

A smile spread across her face. He leaned closer to her and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before she could pull away. Now she was majorly blushing and she didn't have a care in the world. The person she loved, loved her back. Around the corner arose applause. Lance turned to see his friend's heads. He curled his hands into fists and dropped part of the ceiling on them.

"Sorry about them. They are idiots." Lance said sheepishly.

"It's alright." She replied snaking her arms around his neck and holding him tight. If the world ended right now she would be okay with it. Lance wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer.

"So are we considered a couple now?" Lance asked pulling away for a second.

Kitty kissed him (on the lips). "Does that answer your question?" She answered with a seductive smile.

I know, I know. Lame ending, but in my defense it was finished at 10:00 at night.

Hope you liked it, another chapter soon to come!
