(A/N: Dudley and Kitty have gotten closer! We should be seeing them ending up together soon enough! Let's read and find out what they're up to now!)
It was a cold December night in the city of Petropolis. And it's real late, so it's possible that Dudley's not awake right now. However, there's a small chance that he might be up. Let's go see anyway.
Dudley had been peacefully sleeping, but then he suddenly awoke with a start! He'd obviously had a dream that he never expected to have before.
"Did I really just dream that?! But why? Kitty's my friend." Dudley said.
Unable to think of any valid reason why he dreamed such a thing, he wondered who might be able to help him make sense of his dream. He thought about telling his mom, but she probably wasn't the best choice right now. Besides, she didn't like being woken up in the middle of the night (unless it was important). So Dudley decided that talking to his brother, Bruce, was the better option.
"I just hope he doesn't get too mad at me." Dudley thought as he knocked on Bruce's door.
Bruce was fast asleep when he heard some knocking at his door. He wasn't amused to find that he was being disturbed in the middle of the night.
"Who is it?" Bruce asked, sounding slightly annoyed.
"It's me. Can I come in? I need to talk to you, and it's kinda important." Dudley's voice said.
"Come in." said Bruce, turning on the light and sitting up in his bed.
The door opened and Dudley walked in. Bruce patted the bed, motioning for his brother to sit. Dudley sat at the foot of the bed.
"What is it?" Bruce asked.
"I... had a really odd dream." Dudley said.
"About what?" Bruce asked.
"I dreamed about someone, and that someone is Kitty." Dudley said.
"Really? Let's hear about it." Bruce asked, intrigued.
"Well, Kitty and I were both dressed in nice clothes, and we were sitting together at a table in some fancy restaurant. She and I were really happy together, and then we were about to kiss. And it wasn't like the one we had to do at the fake wedding. I think we both wanted to kiss. Then I woke up." Dudley said.
"You almost kissed her, and you wanted to?!" Bruce asked, surprised.
"Yeah. But why?" Dudley answered.
"Katrina and I thought you were, and now you've proven it." Bruce said.
"What did I prove? Tell me!" Dudley pleaded.
"Dudley, you're in love with Kitty." Bruce said.
"I'm WHAT?!" Dudley screamed.
"Dudley! Be quiet! I'm trying to sleep!" Peg's voice yelled from her bedroom.
"Sorry, Mom!" Dudley apologized. Then he whispered to Bruce, "I'm what?!"
"You're in love with Kitty! Actually, I think you have been for a while now." Bruce replied.
"How long?" Dudley asked.
"Probably since Kitty's engagement and wedding. You were really upset, and you looked as though you'd lost the best thing that happened to you when she left." Bruce said.
"I just took it that I was really going to miss her when she left. And I'd never see her again. But I figured that out after she returned." Dudley said.
"But when she returned, you've been happier than any of us have ever seen you." Bruce said.
"I was finally able to talk to her again, and apologize for the times I wronged her. I was so happy that she forgave me." Dudley said.
"I was sure that she had done so a long time ago, otherwise she wouldn't wear her half of the 'Best Partners' necklace." Bruce said.
"Do you think she feels the same way about me?" Dudley asked.
"Given that she forgave you, hasn't complained about your reluctance to leave her side, enjoys your company, and the stuff Katrina told you the day I met her, I want to say yes, but I don't really know. I'll ask Katrina if Kitty ever told her that she loves you. She might know." said Bruce.
"Are you going to call her so we can find out?" Dudley said.
"No, I'll probably ask her tomorrow." Bruce said.
"Why not now?" Dudley asked.
"Dudley, Kitty and Katrina are most likely gonna be asleep, like we should be. Besides, they'd also be ticked off if I called them in the middle of the night to ask questions like that. Now let's go back to bed." Bruce said.
"Okay." said Dudley. He got up and made his way to the door. As he opened the door, he turned back and said, "Good night, Bruce. And thanks."
"Good night, Dudley. You're welcome." Bruce said.
Then Dudley went back to his own room, and Bruce turned off the lights.
In a matter of seconds, both brothers were asleep once more.
Okay, now it's been proven that Dudley's in love with Kitty! But we don't know how she feels... yet! Stay tuned, and we may find out her feelings real soon!
