It's good to be back home with her first team, who have always been more of a family to her than any one else. It's good also just to be back in the city, to feel the energy and excitement of New York pumping through her veins. She's spent the day with her family, revisiting all her old, favorite places, and for once, neither Magneto, the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, aliens, or the government have arisen to end the beauty of their day, a day kept beautiful, she's sure as she saw clouds chased away that morning, in no small part by her beloved Ororo, who's been steadfastly by her side since she returned.
They've been through the mall, to the skating rink, and even indulged her in beating most of her team mates at her favorite arcade, whose owner, thankfully, no longer remembers banning her and Douglas Ramsey years ago because they were better than any machine he'll ever have. They've been through the gardens and the zoo. Most of their team mates have fallen out of their non-stopping parade through New York somewhere along the day's journey, and those who remain have gone to different parts of the museum.
Now, she and Ororo are alone together, and it feels so great to have her lover's arms draped peacefully around her. She wants to do something else, but they're in a tour now while their guide drones on about high art. Kitty's never really noticed the difference between high and low art - until Ororo slides her out of the museum and takes them into the sky.
Kitty gasps at the sight of the setting sun, its golden rays bathing the entire city. She barely has time to breathe, "Now that's art," before Ororo's kissing her and whispering to her how beautiful she is. Kitty sighs, happily melting in this, her favorite, and happiest, moment of her life thus far.
The End
