This is during their high school days... again just a little different. Hope you like it and as already please review. Sorry for the wait. - Darwin Harris (zman)

Dudley was at his table in the lunch room alone doing math. He was new to this school so he decided to wear pants this time. He was sitting then a guy sat next to him.

"Hey. You new?" He asked with a friendly voice.

"..." Dudley gave a nervous smile.

"It's all okay."

"Alright..." Dudley was becoming even more nervous.

"So, what's your name?"

"Dudley... what's yours?"

"Neo."

"Cool." Dudley was a little less nervous.

Two months went by and they became best friends. Dudley was at his job at Burger King on the drive-thru.

"Welcome to Burger King may I take your order." Dudley said in a stone dead voice.

"WHOPPER!" He screamed.

"Sir..."

"WHOPPER AND ONION! WHAT'S WRONG?!"

"Excuse me chewbakka... I'm bleeding from the ears here Pacino. We deal with food here governor not weapons. Now drive around!" They both laughed and the guy lowered his voice.

"Welcome to... Neo?" Dudley looked at the camera screen.

"Yep... nice job." Neo laughed and ordered then left.

After Dudley he was walking to his motorcycle, a Harley, when he walked into a female cat.

"Hey... are you the top in algebra?" She asked him.

"..." Dudley shook his head yes.

"Can you talk?" One of the guys at work stepped next to them.

"Yeah, he can talk, but he has anxiety issues so he's scared to speak." It was Niko.

"Oh, I was wondering if you could help me in that class?" Dudley gave a frozen scared look at her and he shook his head yes.

"I-I can... tutor..." Dudley was blushing.

"Thanks. I'm Kitty by the way." Niko was looking at Dudley with a open mouth.

"You talked." Niko couldn't comprehend what Dudley just did.

"He usually talks. Right?"

"No, he never does..." Niko's eyes wide open.

"Oh, maybe it was just the one time."

"Yeah, maybe." Niko walked to his car and drove away.

"Uh, Dudley do you mind if you gave me a ride home?" Kitty asked innocently.

"..." Dudley motioned to his bike for her to get on.

Dudley started the motor it gave a fierce roar. Kitty sat on the rear seat. She lead Dudley to her house and arrived in minutes.

"Thanks, Dudley. So, when are the lessons?"

"Whenever, wherever..."

"Tomorrow after school." Kitty opened the front door and went in her father was standing at the window.

"Who was that dog?" He asked as Dudley drove off.

"Math tutor." Kitty walked up to her room on the second floor.

"I don't like him." He mumbled to himself.

Dudley was at school sitting in the same spot. Neo and Niko sat with him smiling.

"I hear you talked to a girl yesterday." Neo said grinning ear to ear.

"Yeah, so what?" Dudley said pulling out a sketch book.

"She was one of the cheerleaders." Neo kept his smile.

"What?!" Dudley started to blush uncontrollably.

"Dude calm down."

"Calm down?! I agreed to be her math tutor!" Dudley was shaking.

"Hey, hey, hey it's okay... it's not like she'll kill you." Neo patted Dudley's back, he started to calm down.

"Hey, Dudley." Kitty stood at one end of the table.

"Hey..." Dudley started to shake.

"I was wondering if you could give me a ride home again?" Kitty asked.

"..." Dudley looked at Neo.

"He'd love to." Dudley's eyes shot open and he glared at Neo which Kitty couldn't see.

"Great, my place after school for the lesson." Kitty walked over to her friends.

"Why were you talking to that outcast?" Kandy asked.

"You don't like him do you? He's a dog after all." Jenny said to Kitty and the table of cats.

"No, but what does it matter if he's a dog?"

Jenny and Kandy looked at each other then Kitty. "You're a cat he's a dog... it's just... unnatural."

Kitty didn't like that way of thinking. "If you did like him you wouldn't be able to be with the rest of us." Jenny said after Kandy finished saying something she didn't believe.

"Well I don't think that matters. If you find someone you love it shouldn't matter what they are." Kitty said in a bit of a anger in the tone.

"You like him don't you?"

"No, not like that."

Back with Dudley.

"Why did you say that?" Dudley asked Neo.

"You need a girlfriend, but I don't know if you've got a shot here still you need to try to get one."

"I don't know how to. I've never had one." Neo smiled patting Dudley's shoulder.

The day trudged alone as usual, at the end of the day, Dudley looked over his bike but Kitty walked up to him.

"Are we ready to go?" She stood next to him as he finished looking over the bike's engine and brakes.

"Yeah..." Dudley got on and motioned for Kitty to get on, she sat behind him and wrapped her arms around him as he took off.

Kitty held on tightly to him as they drove to her house. When they arrived the house was empty.

"Looks like we're alone."

"Good. Now let's get to studying." Dudley pulled out his math book and notes.

"Okay." They studied for the test tomorrow and got their homework done.

Kitty and Dudley were sitting on the couch cleaning up their mess.

"You should be good for the test." Dudley closed his satchel and stood up.

"Thanks Dudley." Kitty gave him a kiss on the cheek, making him smile.

"See you tomorrow." Kitty went to her room.

Dudley was smiling as he left, Kitty waited until the door closed. When she heard the door shut Kitty sat on her bed and turned on her TV then a Playstation 3 Call of Duty Black Ops 2 came up on the screen Kitty even had a headset. Dudley went home and got on the same thing got his headset on, very expensive one too.

"God I love this game." Dudley exclaimed.

"Yeah, best war game." Neo was on there too.

"I hate campers though." Niko said making a custom class.

"They are so annoying." Dudley entered ground war and chose to be a sniper, Niko was assault, and Neo was a heavy gunner.

"Yemen, Team Deathmatch." They started up and there were two girls talking.

"Yeah, he's my math tutor." One of them said.

"Hey Kitty is that you?"

Kitty froze in fear.

"Yea..."

"Ha, ha you sound like me." Dudley said.

"I..."

"Hey, no need to be embarrassed if you need me to keep this a secret I will plus everyone I would've told is here, and who would they tell?" Dudley brought down Kitty's anxiety.

"Okay, but you better not tell anyone."

Dudley smiled. "I swear I won't." Kitty let a smile show not that anyone could see it.

They played the game and Kitty joined Dudley's party they talked all through the entire game. Dudley put on his glasses so he could see better until they had to go to bed. The next morning Kitty took a seat right next to Dudley, Kandy took a spot right next to Neo. They talked about last night's game.

"I play mine craft too." Kitty said smiling.

"Me too. You're pretty cool." Kitty blushed a bit at Dudley's comment. "At first I thought you would've been one of those people who would've made my life hell, but you bring light into it instead."

"Dudley... I..."

"Hey, Dudley." Neo waved him over and he went to him.
