(Chapter15 continued)
As we came inside we saw Jean in the Kitchen making tea. I walked in their and just acted normal.

"Hey Jean." I said

"Hey Jade, how are you?" she asked pouring in the hot water in her cup

"I'm good, but I was wondering if you needed some lemon juice for that." I asked holding out the little bottle.

"Great, I was looking for that, and I couldn't find it." she said taking the bottle

"I'd better go." I walked out quickly to the girls

"She did it!" Sara hugged me

"I know and she'll be with Scott forever." I added.

After the girls left and I let them out through the back. As I came back into the main area I saw Rogue and the others talking to Kitty.

"What happened?" I asked Rogue pulling her away

"Kitty and Lance did it." she whispered

"Whoa! the little Kitty lost her virginity." I asked

"Yeah, but now we're trying to ask her where Lance went. It's like he just left." she replied.


Chapter 16
March 26, 2002

Rogue and I stopped off at forge's this afternoon and were racking our minds on what to create for Rogue. We were sitting in his basement around a table thinking hard. Suddenly Forge jumped up and smiled...

"I got it!" he said picking up a sketch pad

He began to draw Rogue's lips and something shiny over them. He finally put it down and took a deep breath.

"Ok, this material should be strong enough to keep Rogue from contact. I have something perfect." he said walking over to a small coardboard box.

He took out a clear piece of clear rubber and sat down at the table.

"Now what?" Rogue asked

"Now, we make enough to last a week and I can order more if needed." he puased

"Great so lets get started." I said with a smile

We set to work and started to make patterns of Rogue's lips.

"Ok now, to make it aheisive, we'll use lip gloss, or this is like glue." Forge said handing Rogue a small bottle.

"How many times do I use this to make the material stick?" Rogue asked

"Just use it once since they are attached by the corner of your mouth." Forge replied.

"Can I try one now?" she asked

"Sure, hold still." Forge said

He placed the glue/gloss on the material and placed it over her lips. He then stepped back and looked at her.

"Wow, these feel so real." she smiled


"Now the test. Just kiss Mike and we'll see if he is affected by your powers." I said taking out my cell phone.

"Go for it." Rogue sneered with a grin

"Mike should be on his way, but we'll meet him half way between home and his house.

Rogue thanked Forge and we left his house to meet Mike. As we came half way Mike walked up to us and Nick was with him! I was really surprised. I ran to him and hugged him and Rogue at first hugged Mike, but kissed him.

"Nick let's leave them ok?" I asked taking his hand

"Good idea." he smiled and we walked off down the street. Soon we stopped and I could still see Rogue and Mike.

"It works." I thought to myself with a smile.

Rogue was so happy and she and Mike soon joined up with us to walk home.
She and I exchanged grins as we came up to the institute.

"Thanks for the walk home." I said

"No problem." Nick said hugging me

"Yeah it was our pleasure." Mike added

Both left and Rogue and I went inside and up stairs to do our work.

"How did it feel?" I asked

"It felt good, like I was normal." she said sitting on her bed

"I'm glad for you." I smiled

"Where did you get the cell phone?" she asked

"My aunt bought it for me and sent it over night last weekend." I replied

"Is she coming to visit?" she asked

"I'm not sure, but she said she'd try." I said.

Suddenly we heard shouting from down stairs and then the house began to shake. I figured it was Lance, but I heard Kitty scream. Rogue and I ran down stairs to see JEan, Scott, and Storm using their powers as Lance ran from the institute.

"What happened?" I asked running down toward Kitty

"Jade it was totally awful." Kitty ran to me crying

The others just stood there and wanted to her what Kitty had to say. She sat down on the steps and cleared her throat.

"Kitty were not mad, but we want to know what you and Lance were doing." Jean reassured her

"I pormised him I wouldn't tell." she whispered

"You don't have to say anything." I said

"Do you know Jade?" Scott asked

"Yes, but she's just scared right now. Kitty it's ok." I said putting my hand on her shoulder.

"Rather than Jade tell, I'll tell you like what happened." she said

"So." Rogue said

"We had come back from training with Mr. Logan. Lnace seemed pretty tired and so was I. I guess we ended up in the study and we started making out, but it got more passionate." she paused and began to cry

"Well, the little Kitty lost her virginity." Rogue said in amazement

"Oh my god Kitty." Jean said

"I don't know what to do. I know the Prof. will be mad." she said.

"So why did Lance run?" Scott asked

"He got scared when I screamed, since I thought I saw someone. He loves me and said he'll be back." she paused again.

"We have to talk to the Prof." I said

"I can't!" and with that she phased out of the house.

Everyone else just stood there, but I knew she'd come back. Since she ran off, we had to keep an eye out for her or Lance. The Prof. was told about her running away, but not the other part of her problem.
