A/N: This is a short Lance/Kitty story. Reviews are welcome since this is my first story on ff.net. And please, no flames, as all flames will be shot down with my personal fire extinguisher. Now on with the show…

Chapter One

Lance Alvers sat cross-legged on his bed and looked out of the window. Rain hammered on the windowpanes and lightning crashed in the black sky outside.

Lance was tired, tired of everything. A picture of Kitty Pride flashed in his mind. Lance had done almost everything for Kitty, even join the X-men, for, like, one minute (Kitty had definitely begun to rub off on him!) Heck, when Kitty first arrived at Bayville, he was the first person to show her around, befriend her. Now Kitty had someone else, that blue-furred freak, Nightcrawler!

At that moment, Lance felt as if he could hate both of them to the ends of the earth. Lance dislike to think unkind thoughts about his…no, not his…Kitty. It's time to move on, Lance thought to himself. Lance made up his mind. He would stay as far away from Kitty as possible.
