As much as I love Romy, this isn't a Romy story. This takes place after Black Cauldron. Also, as much as I don't love Lancitty, I sped up their timeline a little :D Enjoy.

"You have to be kidding me!" Kurt groaned, slapping his hand on his head in disbelief.

Kitty frowned at the elf's reactions. "What?" she asked flustered.

"You…and the rock head?" he said now bursting into laughter.

"Hey!" Kitty indignantly crossed her arms. "Lance is nice. You should be happy for me!"

Kurt wagged his finger at his best friend. "Nice? I don't think so. This is the guy who tried to kill your parents, remember?"

"That was, like, a long time ago, Kurt. He was confused…" Kitty said trying to rescue her new boyfriend.

Trying to humor her, he nodded his fuzzy head. "Got it… But Scott's not going to be too happy when he finds out you're dating him."

"It's none of Scott's business," Kitty said turning her nose up at the thought.

Kurt finished off his mountain of food in a few gulps. "Come on, Kitty, we are going to be late for school!" He activated his image inducer and grabbed her arm.

"Hold on," she squealed. She snatched an apple out of the fruit bowl right before the elf teleported to the garage.

"Ready for school," Kurt announced happily as the two landed in the two vacant seats of Scott's car.

"It's about time," Jean said from the passenger seat as she lightly pushed away a lock of her red hair.

"What took you two so long?"

"Kitty here forgot to set her alarm." Kurt said taunting Kitty with a playful smile.

"Is this everyone?" Scott asked as he started his car.

Jean nodded, "Evan's skateboarding to school, and Rogue is walking."

At school, Lance was waiting for Kitty at the school's entrance. The four of them got out of the car.

"Oh great, it's Lance," Scott murmured.

Kitty violently grabbed Kurt's arm. "Ow! Hey, what was that for?"

"Kurt what was it that you wanted to show me?" Kitty asked tugging his arm harder.

"What? I don't remember…"

"Let's go…" Kitty said, stomping off. "Uh, we'll catch up with you guys later, okay?" she said with sudden sweetness towards Jean and Scott.

They waved and started walking off. "What is up with that girl today?" Scott asked. Jean shrugged.

Just then, Duncan caught her eye. "Oh, there's Duncan, Scott." She started walking away. "I'll see you later!"

"Okay!" he called, fully knowing that Jean was no longer paying attention to him. He sighed and lightly kicked the ground.

Meanwhile, Kitty had managed to wrangle Kurt behind a tree.

"What was that all about?" Kurt asked while rubbing his newly released arm.

Kitty peaked around the tree, to see if the coast was clear. "Lance is right at the entrance. I can't let Scott know about us!"

"Ha!" he shouted pointing at her. "So you do care what he thinks!"

Kitty brushed away some of her hair. "Well…it's just…you know Scott."

"Yes, I do, but you need to relax! He's going to find out sooner or later, Kitty. How much you want to bet?"

"I know," she said, leaning against the tree. "I just want to enjoy it a little. It's still new you know…"

"I know," Kurt said. He placed a hand on her shoulder. "Come one, let's go. Jean and Scott are gone now."

She nodded, and the two walked off towards the building.

Back at the institute, Professor X was busy learning about a new mutant that had appeared. Cerebro had detected her early that morning. He mentally contacted Ororo. Within a few moments, she came.

"You called?" she asked.

"Yes," he said, maneuvering his wheelchair to face her. "It appears that a new mutant has emerged in Florida. Her name is Haley Wilson. She has the ability to control water. However, her powers show more potential than just that.

"I need you to take Kitty out from school. Haley is the same age as her. They will probably relate best. You might want to bring Jean with, as well." The weather witch nodded and took off for Bayville High.

Sorry about the chapters being so short. I originally had this as one long document, so I just kind of split them up into chapters.
