The next day Kitty had gotten 43 more roses. Fifteen notes saying how great she was. Five stuffed animals; two bears, one kitten and two beanie babies she couldn't recognize. All this before lunch. She tried to explain to Rogue while picking at her REALLY green bean lunch but all she got was-

"AHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAH!" Rogue wiped tears of laughter from her eyes. "Pietro has been bugging yah all day?"

"Well not in PERSON, but-"

"HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"I wish you'd fill me in on what's so funny." Kitty sighed and her plastic fork caught a bean she looked at it, examining it like it was foreign.

"No offense to yah Kitty, but Pietro hasn't noticed you up until this point. It's obvious what's happening here."

"What?"

"Pietro is just trying to get ah date for Prom, LAST MINUTE."

"Speaking of dates, I can't believe your going with Lance." Kitty narrowed her eyes. "I HATE him." She said, jealousy creeping into her voice.

"Yah didn't hate him before."

"That was different. I didn't know he was a total jerk before." Kitty stabbed another bean with her fork, as if she was stabbing Lance. "I swear, IF HE EVER TALKS TO ME AGAIN-"

"Hey Pretty Kitty."

Kitty turned in her seat. "LANCE?"

Rogue snickered when Lance came more into view. "Hey Lance," she said making sure she didn't make any eye contact with Kitty.

"Rogue." Lance looked directly at Kitty while speaking. "What time should I pick you up? For Prom I mean?"

"Ah Lance." Rogue looked suspicious. "Prom isn't for another week."

"So? It's good to now early. So I can uh, fit you into the schedule."

Kitty coughed. Rogue could have sworn she heard the words, "Schedule? As if."

Rogue had to agree. When Lance started having a schedule would be the time to start screaming, "THE WORLD'S ENDING! THE WORLD'S ENDING! RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!"

"Ah, you have a schedule?"

"Yeah."

Kitty snorted once again. Lance looked at her, unnoticing the glares he was receiving. "So Kitty, who's your date for Prom?"

"Nobody."

Lance grinned. If she didn't have a date for Prom, she'd be sitting at home thinking about how she should have gone with him. Feel sorry for herself. Call him up the next day. Beg for him to go out with HER instead of Rogue and he'd agree, then they'd be…

An evil glint was shining in Kitty's eye. "I wasn't planning on going…but.."

"But?" Rogue and Lance were looking at her now.

"Pietro asked me, I'm thinking maybe I'll go with him."

Lance gaped at her and Rogue's eyes grew huge. "YOUR GOING WITH PIETRO?" Lance shouted in disbelief causing everyone in the lunchroom to look up from their conversations and disgusting food to look at them.

Kitty seemed to be shrinking. She lowered herself in her seat. "I didn't say that-" She looked around. "I'm just considering it."

Even Tabitha had found her way over to their table. "Your 'considering' to go with Pietro? Ooooh. I KNEW IT! I KNEW SOMETHING WAS GOING ON WITH YOU TWO!" She glanced over at Lance for a second. "This is SO GREAT!"

Kitty's face was getting redder by the minute. She had the lunchroom's full attention now and now half of the school knew that Pietro had asked her to Prom…AND THEY THOUGHT SHE WAS 'CONSIDERING' IT! Kitty's mind was going a mile a minute. Of course everyone knew 'considering' meant yes. If she said yes, she'd have to go with Pietro. The guy who's ego was big enough to swallow the solar system. The guy who had been shoving flowers, candy and dolls into her locker because who was so desperate to get a date who wasn't completely ugly or one that would be getting high in the bathroom. The guy who probably had no interest in her whatsoever.

Rogue looked Kitty up and down. Her face was a cherry red, she hadn't seen anyone so embarrassed. Could it be that…She was actually interested in Pietro?
