A: Kitty got mad and kicked the disclaimer saying I don't own any of the X-
Men out the window. I swear, that girl and her temper.
K: I HEARD THAT!!!
A: Sorry! Anyway, on with the story.
Kitty walked to school excitedly. Nobody had offered her a ride, probably out of fear for their own safety, but she was still happy. Today was the day of the shooting! She couldn't wait to get behind the wheel and start filming.
As she waited at a crosswalk for the light to change, she noticed Lance Alvers pull up to the intersection. "Lance!" she called out.
"Hey Kitty," Lance called back. "Want a ride?"
"Sure! Beats walking!" she said, and climbed up onto the side of the jeep, phased through the door, and sat down in the passenger's seat.
Lance noticed how bubbly she looked. "Something's got you pretty stoked today," he said.
"I know! I can't wait for this afternoon!" Kitty exclaimed.
"What happens this afternoon?"
"You haven't heard?"
"Nope,"
"Well, you know that movie they're shooting in Bayville, right? I'm doing the stunt driving for it!"
Lance was so surprised that he slammed on the brakes. They were both whipped forward and then slammed back against their seats.
"Ow! What'd you do that for?" Kitty asked angrily.
"Um, sorry, squirrel," said Lance.
"I didn't see any."
"So! What kind of stunts are you gonna be doing?" Lance cut her off.
Kitty looked at her watch. "Well, do you want to see for yourself?"
"Um, I suppose," Lance said nervously, experiencing a trembling in his stomach.
"Cool! Move over," Kitty said as she phased through him into the driver's seat.
"Hey!" Lance protested, feeling the girl inside of him for a moment as he moved over to the passenger seat.
"Ok, hang on tight!" Kitty said and hit the gas. She accelerated to 60 miles an hour and then grabbed the hand brake while throwing the jeep into a half-turn. The jeep spun around, leaving rubber on the pavement, and wound up facing the other way. Kitty accelerated again, and threw the jeep into a hard right turn. She clipped the curb as she went around the corner, and the right side of the jeep lifted itself off of the pavement as she negotiated the turn on just two wheels. The jeep slammed back down to the pavement and Kitty stopped and looked over at Lance.
"What'd you think? Lance?"
Lance was sitting, mouth agape, hair shooting out in all directions, his eyes wide in shock. "Woah!" was all he could bring himself to say. He recovered and looked over at Kitty. "That was amazing! How long have you been doing this?"
"I just got the job a few days ago, but I've only been driving for a couple weeks," she said.
"So, um, what do you plan on doing with this?" he asked, looking into her eyes. "Think you might try and do some more movies after this one?"
"Maybe," she said, gazing back into his eyes. "It might be fun to go to Hollywood after I graduate, maybe get a job out there," She started to draw closer to Lance.
"Yeah," said Lance, pulling closer himself. "That would be cool. You being the first mutant in pictures,"
"That anybody knew about, anyway," Kitty said, now just inches away from Lance. They drew closer, closer.
Suddenly the moment was broken as a blue pickup truck drove by, horn blaring. Kitty was startled and pulled away. "Jerk!" she shouted after him. "Of all the nerve! I HATE it when people do that!"
"I know. Why would anybody want to do that for?" said Lance. In her sudden anger, Kitty misinterpreted his innocent remark.
"What? What'd you say? Did you say I have a temper?" she said, looking at him harshly.
"Kitty." Lance protested.
"Well, I don't! And we're through!" she shouted, climbing out of the car. She walked a few steps away and then turned back around. "I mean it this time!" she shouted, and walked off.
Lance sighed. "Like I haven't heard THAT before," he muttered, and drove off the other way.
Kitty walked down the sidewalk alone. Why was everybody saying she had a temper lately? she wondered. She looked up as a blue pick-up truck zoomed by her. She gave it no thought and kept walking. A few minutes later, another blue truck drove quickly by. Lots of blue trucks on the road today, she thought. A third blue truck zoomed by, this time coming from the opposite direction. "Is that the same one?" she wondered. Suddenly, the truck swerved and started coming straight at her. Kitty screamed and dove out of the way as the truck missed her by 6 inches.
"What are you doing, you maniac?" Kitty shouted at the driver.
The window of the truck opened, and Kitty could see Gordon Crane sitting behind the wheel. "You!" she shouted in surprise.
"So, you thought you could just waltz on in and take my job away from me, did you? Well, now you're going to pay!"
Kitty saw another man stand up in the bed of the truck. "And he's not the only one with a score to settle," the man said. From his red hair and suit, and the hoses snaking down his arms, Kitty recognized him as Pyro, one of Magneto's newest recruits. He shot a blast of fire at her, but she managed to dodge it and fled down an alley.
Lance drove on in his jeep, thinking about how he was going to get Kitty back this time. That girl could be SO moody, he thought. He looked up as a blue pick-up roared by him. Wonder where the fire is, Lance thought. Lance saw the blue truck suddenly swerve off the road and nearly strike a pedestrian, who managed to dive out of the way at the last second. "What the," Lance exclaimed. He squinted, trying to make out who had barely escaped being run over. "Kitty?" He hit the gas and took off after the blue truck.
She quickly realized once she got to the end that she was trapped. Turning around, she saw the truck pull up to the entrance of the alley, blocking her escape. Crane revved his engine, but before he could run Kitty down, another vehicle crashed headfirst into the side of the truck, sending it skidding down the road. Crane cursed loudly and sped off, leaving a cloud of smoke and debris behind him.
Lance got out and looked at his jeep. The front end was smashed in, but he thought it would still run. "Kitty, are you alright?" he asked, running up to her.
"Lance!" she shouted, and embraced him strongly.
"Who was that nut chasing you? And why was Pyro with him?"
"That was the guy who used to be driving for that movie. I guess he's still pretty upset," She lowered her head. "Lance, I'm sorry I lost it earlier. I guess I do have a bit of a temper,"
"Hey, forget about it. I'm just glad I was able to keep that maniac from killing you," said Lance. "Why don't I take you the rest of the way to school," he offered.
"Thanks, Lance," Kitty said, and gave him a peck on the cheek. She walked back to the jeep as Lance blushed heavily.
As Lance pulled up out in front of Bayville High, Kitty turned to him. "Hey, Lance, why don't you come by the set after school today and watch the shoot?"
"Sure," said Lance. "And who knows, maybe that crazy driver might try something again,"
"Well, if he does, you can be my knight in shining armor again, charging in on your noble steed," she laughed, patting the side of the jeep.
"I think this steed's about ready to be sent to the factory," Lance said, as Kitty gave him another kiss on the cheek and ran inside the school. He drove off, making a mental note to head downtown that afternoon. This was going to be a fun day.
Coming up next: The fiery, action packed conclusion!
