Title: Thoughts of Another.
Started: 11/16/02
Disclaimer: I own nothing in the story.
*Saturday Morning*
*Scott, Evan, Rouge, Logan, Jean, and Kurt were already sitting at the large breakfast table*
Kitty: Good morning everyone! *She announced this as she cheerfully took her spot at the breakfast table*
Scott: So are you feeling any better?
Kitty: Yep! Not 100% better mind you, but I think Kurt's strawberry sherbet might have helped. *She blushed lightly at that*
Kurt: Oh it was nothing Kitty Cat. I just thought that it was bad that you had to stay cooped up in that room. *He also blushed at that*
Even: Ooh it sounds like someone's getting awfully close to a certain brown haired cat.
*With that a chorus of "Ooooh* went around the room*
Kurt: Hey come one now. It's not like you wouldn't have done the same for Jean.
Scott: Well I uh, *cough*, of course I would since I'm here friend.
Jean: Really? That's so sweet of you.
*There was slight snickering at the table and Rouge looked like she was about to gag*
Scott: *Slightly grinning* Oh don't act like that Rouge. We all know how Logan stayed by your side when you were having problems with all those extra personalities.
Logan: *Gruffly* That's because she's a part of the team Summers, and as part of the team we all work together and look out for each other.
Scott: *Still grinning* If you say so.
Rouge: If you're all done yakking I'd say it's about time to start today's Danger Room session.
Evan: *Sarcastic* Oh goodie.
Jean: I'll be there in a minute.
*So Jean, Evan, and Rouge left and now only Kitty, Scott, and Kurt are at the table*
Kurt: So I guess the one's training today first be Evan, Rouge, and Jean?
Scott: Yep. The group that will be doing the later session will be You, me, and Kitty, if she feels up to it.
Kitty: Well, until then I'll, go get some rest. *She gets up and walks up the stairs to her room*
Scott: Looks like it's just you and me for kitchen clean up.
Kurt: *Sarcastic* I'm so thrilled. Oh, hold on a minute. I need to give Kitty her list of home work. I'll be right back. *He quickly retrieved the list from his school bag and teleported to Kitty's room*
Kitty: Shame on you Kurt. You like nearly gave me a heart attack.
Kurt: Sorry Kitty Cat but I needed to give you the list of assignments that Miss Myers gave to me.
Kitty: *Sigh* I guess it had to happen sooner or later. Whatever happened to the good old days when guys would give flowers or chocolate?
Kurt: *Laughing* Well what about the good old days when people were just what they seemed to be?
Kitty: *Sigh* I guess your right. What was the assignment on Friday?
Kurt: To write a paper on how you feel and think. Not necessarily in a poetic form.
Kitty: That doesn't sound to hard. I should be able to get it done before Tuesday.
Kurt: I hope so. I have to go now. Scott is waiting for my help with kitchen duty. *He teleported back to the kitchen*
Kitty: I'm not really all that tired so I guess I could start writing my paper.
*This is what Kitty had come up with*
I try my best to live the life I live. It's hard to be different and I don't just mean looks or popularity. I see others laughing like they don't have a care in the world and I think of how that used to be me. The perfect girl with the perfect family. I'm glad I found others that have a sense of similarity but what if I hadn't? What dark path would I have travelled. I think that at times my life is hard now, but there's always that sense of wondering in the back of my mind.I sometimes still try to play the role of "perfection". On the outside it's working. But, what about the inside. Will I ever be able to find "someone" who has feelings that are similar to mine? Who could it be? Will I ever know? I'm tired of just showing my "outside". I appear as a bubble of mirth that floats gently in the wind, but at times my heart can still feel like a rock. That too is ironic for my ability to phase through things makes others thinks that that is the way I really am. It's not true. Even when I thought I was "normal" there was still something missing. I don't know what that something is, but I'll keep looking for it for the rest of my life if have to.
*Satisfied with her work, Kitty decided to take a little "cat nap" before it was her turn in the Danger Room*
*Four hours later*
*Kitty was woken by someone yelling her name*
Scott: Hey Kitty! It's time for our Danger Room session! Do you feel up to it?
Kitty: *Still groggy* Yeah, ok! Just like hang on a minute while I get dressed.
*A few minutes later she walked out her room to meet a stern faced Scott and an ever grinning Fuzzy Elf*
Kurt: Feeling rested?
Kitty: I guess so.
Scott: Come one slackers.
Kurt&Kitty: *Grinning* Yes sir.
*In the Danger Room*
Kurt: Hey Logan. Try not to make it too brutal since Kitty's still not feeling up to snuff.
Kitty: That's not true. *She said this while almost getting hit by a metal beam. Luckily she managed to phase through it before it did any damage*
Kurt: *Grinning* Seeeeee.
Kitty: *Mock pout* That's just because you distracted me.
*The rest of the training session went well and by the time they were finished it was time for dinner*
Kurt: Alright. I'm starving.
Kitty: When are you not starving?
Kurt: When I'm sleeping. Although I did have a dream about ice cream once and I woke up with this major craving for it.
Kitty: So that's what happened to my triple fudge chocolate ice cream.
Kurt: That was yours. Ooops, sorry Kitty.
Kitty: Oh I'll get you for that. *She starts to playfully chase him all the way to the dining room, leaving Scott to walk the rest of the way alone*
Scott: *Muttering* Kids, sheesh. *Although at the same time he remembers having some of that ice cream too*
*Dinner is over and the rest of the kids have either retreated to their rooms or decided to hit the town. Kurt figures that, since he doesn't have anything to do, it would be a good time for him to work on his paper for school*
Kurt: This shouldn't take too long since Miss Myers didn't give us any real requirements.
*And it's true that it wasn't too hard because Kurk shortly had been able to come up with this*
It's been so long since I've found my "place" in the world. But sometimes, even here at the institute, I still feel so alone. Everyone has his or her problems, yet I doubt that any of them are like mine. The people here have pretty much gotten used to my appearance, but what about the rest of the world. It may be known that mutants are among us but that doesn't exactly make it easier. In fact at times it can make it harder. There's nothing that says humans and mutants can't coexist but try telling that to your friends parents. They don't believe that. At least not when you look like a demon. I try my best to hide, but at the same time it's so hard. Knowing that there are mutants that look like humans, act like humans, even walk like humans. At times those mutants are like humans to me. So where am I to fit into this? Some people can accept you for the way you are AND the way you look. But it's so hard to find those people. I've almost giving up looking. Almost. There is one acception to this but I'm not sure her thoughts. She's practically the complete opposite of me. A demon and an angel. What an odd combination. Only time will tell what becomes of this.
*This seemed to take a lot out of Kurt so he figured he'd grab a quick snack. He thought that Kitty might also be hungry since she didn't eat much after their training session. He quickly teleported to her room only to find that she was asleep*
Kurt: I guess she exhausted herself quite a bit. I think I'll let her sleep a little longer. *He was about to continue his trip to the fridge when he spotted Kitty's english assignment on her desk*
Kurt: Hey. It looks like Kitty Cat finished her paper too. I don't think she'll mind if I do a little proof reading. *He picks it up and, since it wasn't too long, managed to read it quickly*
Kurt: Wow. I had no idea that Kitty felt that way. She's almost like me in a way.... I'd better go though before she wakes up and finds me reading her stuff. *He teleports to the kitchen*
*Unknown to the Fuzzy Elf, Kitty chose this moment to wake up. There was still the smell of sulphur in the room so she knew that he had been there. She also noticed that her english paper was slightly crooked*
Kitty: What a nosy elf. I wonder if he has also completed his paper? I go see if he's in his room. *She quietly phases through her room to Kurt's room* Good, no one here. This shouldn't take too long.
*Conveniently Kurt's paper was still on his desk where he had finished writing it moments ago. Since Kitty was also a fast reader she managed to finish reading it within a few minutes*
Kitty: I never knew that he still felt like an outsider from us. I probably had something to do with that since the first time I met him I would run away. I don't do that anymore but the memories probably still linger. His birthday is tomorrow so I wonder if there's anything I can do for him. I haven't gotten him a present yet but the stores are still open so I should be able to still do that. It must be hard for him though, especially after having to break up with Amanda like that. Of course I never liked her too much. I always thought that she was just so... phony or something. In a way I'm almost glad that Kurt isn't seeing her anymore. I wonder why?... Uh oh. *At that moment Kitty heard Kurk talking to someone and it sounded like he was heading back to his room. Kitty replaced the paper on his desk and quietlt phased back into her room*
Kitty: That was close. Now to find Scott and see about that gift for Kurt. I think I have an idea of what to get him. *She rushed out of her room hoping to find Scott quickly since it was already getting close to 8:30 at night*
*A few minutes later Kitty managed to find Scott*
Scott: You want me to do what?
Kitty: I already told you. I want you to drive me to a store so I can get a gift for Kurt.
Scott: You just now thought of it though?
Kitty: Yes I know that I'm slightly late on this but will you please do this for me?
Scott: Alright. I figure that this is as good a cause as any to go out in the middle of the night.
*They tell the Professor where they're going and then get into Scott's car*
Scott: Do you have any idea where you want to go
Kitty: Yes. To that new gallery that opened a few miles from here.
Scott: *Looks at her strangely* Uh, ok. If you say so.
*They managed to get there at a fairly good time since the shop closed at 10:00. Kitty just hoped that she found what she was looking for*
Kitty: You can look around or stay in the car Scott. This shouldn't take to long.
Scott: Ok. Just try not to get lost or anything.
Kitty: *Sigh* Yes Scott. *She begins to look around the gallery in hope that she can find the right picture*
*Lady Luck must have shined on Kitty because within less than a half hour she managed to find exactly what she was looking for. Scott has his back to her while he was looking at another painting so Kitty took the picture up to the front and paid for it. The woman at the counter gently placed it in a paper bag*
Kitty: Come on Scott. I found what I was looking for. *She started to walk out the door*
*Scott followed her and they were soon both in the car*
Scott: That was fast. What did you buy?
Kitty: *Blushing slightly* It's, uh, a secret.
Scott: *Smirking* If you say so. Before we go home were going to stop by the store and pick up the cake.
Kitty: You guys all ordered a cake?
Scott: *Now is grinning* Just because you were late to get on the ball doesn't mean that the rest of us were.
Kitty: Oh ha ha.
*They are now at the store*
Scott: You wait her while I get the cake.
*Within a few minutes Scott had returned with the cake and they were driving home. Once there Kitty gently picked up the picture and walked with Scott to the front door*
Kitty: What kind of cake is it?
Scott: You'll just have to wait until tomorrow to find out.
Kitty: *Mock pout* Oh your so mean. Bleh. *Sticks her tongue out at him while laughing*
*They both head inside and return to there seperate rooms, unknown that a certain Fuzzy Elf is watching them*
Kurt: I wonder where those two went? I bet that where ever it was that they had lots of fun. I'm sure that Kitty would much rather be with Scott than a blue freak like me. I don't want to think about this anymore so I'm just going to go to bed.
*If only Kurt had known what surprises were in store for him the next day*
