Catch Me If You Can

*
Oooooh, come and try to catch me
Oooooh, catch me if you can
Oooooh, come and try to catch me
Oooooh, catch me if you can
*

Falling from the trees like a demonic angel, Nightcrawler vanished in a puff of smoke. Reforming behind Kitty, he tagged her and disappeared again with a laugh.

*
Look out, it's time the world is fighting for a
New thing, it's time I got ahead
Keep thinking nothing is going to stop me
And I won't quit 'til I'm sitting on the top
*
Whirling around, the chestnut-haired girl broke into a run, smiling brightly as she tracked her companion. Calling out a warning, she phased through tree trunks and branches without conscious thought as to what she was doing.

*
Never give up when the going gets rough
I know I'm going to make it through
To just try will never be enough
I'll show you there's nothing I can't do
*

The stars twinkled merrily in the evening sky as the two teenagers burst from the outcropping of trees, snow drifting to the ground lazily. Small flashes of smoke and acrid brimstone smell dotted the grass field, Nightcrawler and Kitty playfully engaged in their game of tag.

*
Oooooh, come and try to catch me
Oooooh, catch me if you can
Oooooh, come and try to catch me
Oooooh, catch me if you can
*

Brushing the back of the adorable blue-furred mutant's uniform, Kitty dashed off, giggling and winking back at Nightcrawler. Unabashedly, he grinned like a wolf.

*
Get up, let's see what you're made of
Bring it on, you know I'm not afraid
There's no way that you can slow me down
It's time to show you what I'm all about
*

Teleporting in front of Kitty, Nightcrawler tapped her nose, then teleported away. Touching her nose-tip lightly, she blushed before racing after his fleet-footed form.

*
Never give up when the going gets rough
I know I'm going to make it through
To just try will never be enough
I'll show you there's nothing I can't do
*

"Can't catch me!" he shouted, taunting her in a friendly way. "Can too!" she cried in response, leaping through a fallen tree energetically.

*
Oooooh, come and try to catch me
Oooooh, catch me if you can
Oooooh, come and try to catch me
Oooooh, catch me if you can
*

Glancing over his shoulder at the youngest X-Man, he stuck his tongue out childishly, not noticing a small rock in his path. Hitting one toe against it, he tripped and hit the ground before he could teleport.

*
It's so close I can almost taste it
There's no way I'll ever look back
It's so hard, but stopping's not an option
I'm going to keep on, keep on 'cause I believe in me
*

Slowly pulling himself to his knees and then his feet, Nightcrawler was caught off-guard by Kitty. Flinging her arms around him in a hug, she brushed her lips across his cheek quickly. "Caught you."

*
Catch me if you can!
