Stormy Weather
A few days after Evan had left the X-Men, Ororo was sitting drinking coffee in the kitchen. "Hey Storm," Kitty said as she walked in. "How are you feeling?"
"Oh a little less like a complete failure," She sighed.
"It wasn't your fault," Kitty said. "He'll come back."
"You're right," She sighed. "I'm sure he'll come back soon."
"I know what will cheer you up!" Kitty said. "A trip to the mall! I'll drive!"
"Kitty wait!" Ororo yelped as she grabbed her by the arm and yanked her down the hallway.
"We'll take the limo!" She said cheerfully.
"We will not!" Ororo shouted.
"Oh come on Storm live a little."
"Actually I'd like to live a lot longer," Ororo moaned as she grabbed her purse just as Kitty dragged her out to the garage. "Kitty I have a better idea. I'll drive to the mall in my car and we'll practice when we get there. How about that?"
"Okay," Kitty agreed. "But I get to drive home!"
"We'll see," Ororo said. Then she said under her breath. "Depending how much sanity I have left."
The trip to the mall was rather quiet. Ororo maneuvered the car to an empty section of the parking lot. "Now Kitty I think we should do something simple, like practice parking," She told her as they exchanged sides. "I just want to make sure you have the basics."
"Relax Storm I like totally have this down to a perfect science!" Kitty waved. She then spun the car around several times. "See? I can do seven perfect turns in a row!"
"I lost Evan," Ororo moaned. "Haven't I suffered enough?"
"Don't worry!" Kitty said. "You'll always have me!"
"That's not exactly comforting right now," Ororo gulped. "SLOW DOWN!"
"I'm only going 55 miles per hour."
"JUST SLOW DOWN!"
"Okay! Okay! Sheesh! Don't be such a grouch," She slowed down. "Let's try some parallel parking!"
"Oh no," Storm gulped as Kitty saw a space between two cars. Her heart leapt into her throat as she gunned the engine. "KITTY!"
"Watch this!" She did a fast turn. Unfortunately the space wasn't big enough and she hit both cars. "Oops. I guess I should have phased huh?"
"Maybe I could join Evan with the Morlocks," She moaned. "They don't have cars…"
