I do not own X-Men Evolution

After Summer Break

Katherine Pryde walked towards the mansion she resided at during the school year. Xavier's Institute For Gifted Youngsters. Every normal person thought it was a school for the Artistically gifted, but in truth, it was a school for Mutants. Evolved Humans, SHIELD called it, humans whom possessed the X-Gene, a gene that gave you access to these weird, but cool powers. Kitty, as she was usually by her friends, or sometimes Kat by one of her best friends Evan Daniels, and then there was the famous Katchzen, given to her by her other best friend, Kurt Wagner. They where the three youngest of the senior X-Men team, and that was what had brought them together closer. She was really excited to see them.

She had been living there since she was fourteen, and there were some unforgettable experiences she had lived there. As she walked into the Grand Hall of the Mansion, she saw Bobby Drake, or also known as Ice Man, messing around with his crew of friends, that included Amara who was known as Magma, Jubilation Lee but everyone called her Jubilee, Boom Boom who was older than them, but still hung out with them. There where more, but they hadn't showed up yet. It was fun to see all your friends when the school year was about to start again.

Suddenly, her eyes were covered by some hands, and she heard a familiar voice. "Guess who?" She heard. A smile came across her face, she turned around seeing a dark skinned boy, in a purple hoodie and jeans, curly black hair. "Evan!" Kitty jumped, pulling him into a hug. "You finally ditched the stupid blond hair!"

Evan gave a chuckle. "What? A brother can't have blond hair?"

"It looks awful on a black guy." Kitty responded to him. Yes they teased him at times for being black, but it was just harmless fun. Like when the lights dimmed down or something they would be like 'Evan? Where are you? We can't see you! You know, cause your black!' He understood the jokes, and even made some himself, like when there was fried chicken for dinner, he would take off running, yelling 'Usain Bolt!'

"Way to sugar coat it." Evan responded. She hugged him tighter, it had been at least two months since she'd last seen him, or Kurt. Around three weeks into summer they had visited her in Deerfield, Illinois.

"Wind pipe, squeezed.. Can't.. Breathe..." Evan said, Kitty loosened her grip on him, laughing.


Kitty and Evan sat in the dorm room she shared with Rouge, Kitty sat on her bed, while Evan stood up. Rouge had come in earlier, but she had gone off to God knows where. "So, how was your summer?" Kitty asked Evan.

"Not bad, shame Knicks messed up in the play offs though." Evan said.

"Like, Evan you know I don't know anything about the basketball league." Kitty responded.

"NBA." Evan corrected.

"Yeah, whatever... I just know the rules for your sake." Kitty smiled. Evan took a little plastic ball and tossed it in her head. Kitty pouted.

Suddenly, they heard a bamf, right outside the door. Evan and Kitty exchanged a look, as a familiar blue furry boy, dressed in a red shirt, with a khaki jacket, and some cargo shorts. "Kurt!" Kitty sprung out of her bed, jumping on Kurt and hugging him. "Katchzen, so good to see you!" Kurt said. Then looked at Evan. "Dude!" Kurt exclaimed, letting Kitty go.

She laughed at their bromance. They were like male partners, only not gay. The two seconds it took for them to get to each other was like in slow mo, they ran to each other and hugged one another.

"Like, way to make me feel like a third wheel. Kitty Pryde should never be the third wheel." Kitty complained, obviously teasing them, but also at the same time serious. Kurt and Evan opened up their arms. Kitty laughed and ran in between them, as they hugged her.
