As they ravelled the corridors heading for the cafeteria, they passed Tabitha and Ray hanging in a corner. Boom- Boom looked up and smiled at the duo as they passed, and they smiled back. True, Kitty hadn't been a huge fan of Tabitha when she first arrived at the institute, with her flirting with Kurt all the time and acting recklessly around him. She didn't like the fact that she would eventually pull her best friend down with her in trouble. But during the Sirens thing, when she'd stopped being with Kurt, they'd actually grown closer and Kitty had learned that Tabitha actually was alright. A bit reckless and flirting, sure, but warm hearted, brutal honest and brave as any x-man. She liked to bend the rules a bit, but tried to avoid outright breaking them, especially since she'd moved back into the institute. Another reason, Kitty believed, was Ray. Other boys may see only her shallow, superstitious self, with flirting and shopping as her sole interests.

Ray and Kurt, however, were both great judges of character, and saw that it was all a great act for the majority of times. While Kurt had tried to help her show the real her, he was just too soft minded and his great heart was to his disadvantage against her high self confidence. Ray was different in that that he was just as tough and independent as her, and therefore had a different approach towards her. Whenever she acted like a utterly shallow girl, he would just ignore her until she let the charade drop and let out the sweet, humours girl beneath. Kitty guessed that the other girl had been through something that forced her to create this personality to protect her self, and this was only enhanced when they met her father. Ray was good for her, in that he was her rock, her stability, the one how saw right through her, behind all her defences to the girl within. Kind of what Kurt did to her. Tabby was good for him too as she was always honest and told her opinion and her desires straight on, which gave their communication an effective boost since Ray was kind of quiet and didn't speak much without having something to say. Ray nodded in a silent greeting as they went passed, before continuing their conversation. Kurt threw an amused glance behind him and shook his head, because even though they fitted together so perfectly, they weren't dating. Speak for yourself, he thought, it isn't like you're making leaping process in your own department. Shaking his head, he followed his dream girl towards their destination, taking his time to appreciate the way her but moved when she walked.

A couple of hours later, the final bell rang throughout Bayville High. Several shouts of joy or relief were heard from different classrooms. Kurt was happily putting away his books in his locker, grateful that it, once again, was a weekend. Suddenly, two slender hands wrapped around his eyes, and a familiar voice breathed in his ear.

"Guess who?" Kurt pretended to give the thought serious consideration.

"Hmm, maybe Cameron Diaz? Or Katy Perry? Ah, I know now; Taylor Swift!" he could hear the person behind him giggle a little. He furrowed his brow in mock thought, pouting slightly.

"Nein? Ach, vell zen; Kate Vinslet, Robin Vright, or, vait Olivia de Havilland!" The person behind him was shaking with laughter at this point and released his eyes. Kurt turned around and pretended to be shocked over that it was Kitty behind him, laughing heartedly.

"Oh mien Gott, vas it only you, Katzchen? I could never have guessed" he proclaimed.

"Yeah right, Fuzzy, as if any of those go here. By the way, it's Kate Winslet and Robin Wright in those cases. And like, who's Olivia de Havilave?" Kitty said once she managed to calm down enough to speak. Kurt gave her a horrified look, as if she'd said Toad smelled nice

"It is Olivia de Havilland, mein Gott Katzchen, she only co- played in eight of Errol Flynn's movies, and one of zem being Captain Blood! How can you not know that? It should be part of common knowledge!" Kitty rolled her eyes at Kurt dramatic outburst over her not knowing all about the swashbuckler movies that Errol Flynn had starred in. Waiting till a break came

"Alright, when exactly was this recorded?"

"In 1935" was the rapt answer. Kitty rolled her eyes in response. The blue mutant shot her a wide grin, before he closed his locker and hoisted his backpack up on his back. It was unusually light, as they didn't have any homework. Together they made their way out towards the school parking lot. Scott and Jean were already there, seeing as they on some days ended their collage lectures early, they had offered to give some of the students a ride home. Both of them went to the same college within car pooling distance, Jean studying psychiatry and Scott history. Most of the other students were picked up by Storm in the van. When Kitty and Kurt reached the red cabriole, they noticed that Evan (I brought him back from the Morlocks, cause I think he belongs with the x-men.) was already seated, but Rogue wasn't there. Kitty hit her forehead in realisation.

"Damn, Rogue told me she wasn't going home today with us! She said she was meeting up with her drama club and maybe go somewhere with some friends after." After they'd been exposed as mutants to the public by Magneto, many of the institute kids had lost a big part of their friends, but Rogue had lost least, maybe partly because many of her friends where either Goths or heavily into fantasy, so most of them accepted her as she was, only slightly more special then before.

"What friends would that be?" Scott questioned sharply, and Kitty shrugged.

"Don't know, I like, guess Lenore, and maybe Ebony, Lorna and Melanie? I'm not sure."

Scott nodded before taking off towards the institute.
