Now here's some pointless deranged Kitty torture…Hey I've tortured everyone else! Fair is fair.

Kitty Come Home!

Several hours later a girl with brown hair in a trenchcoat and a fedora like hat sat alone at a table in a small restaurant. Kitty had decided to hide her features so that she wouldn't be recognized and accosted by any of the people in town. Particularly the ones she wanted to avoid. Namely the people she lived with.

The waitress sashayed over to her table. "Another Root Beer Float hon?"

"Yup," Kitty said. "Keep 'em coming."

"This is your fifth one kiddo," The waitress raised an eyebrow. "Ain't you had enough?"

"I'll tell you when I've had enough," Kitty grumbled as she put down some money. "When I run outta green. That's when I've had enough."

"Sounds like you got some serious trouble," She said.

"You don't know the half of it sister."

"Man trouble?"

"Is there any other kind?" Kitty sighed.

"Boyfriend cheating on you?"

"Worse, I got two boys fighting over me. And they're both lunatics."

"Wanna talk?"

"Might as well," Kitty sighed. "Everybody else knows about it! I don't know how this happened. I don't know what I did but boy did I do it! They've been fighting over me day and night! And you wanna know what the worst part is? I love 'em both…in different ways maybe but I love 'em both. And I can't choose between the two of them right now."

"Honey, keep the cash," The waitress said. "This one's on me." She went away.

"I can't take much more of this," She sighed. "This day cannot get any crazier!"

Just then there was a commotion. "Hey! Why is the game being interrupted?" Someone shouted. Kitty looked up and saw there was a huge big screen TV that could be seen throughout the entire restaurant.

"We interrupt this program for an important news bulletin," The announcer said. "Uh…apparently we have a missing girl and her friends are trying to find her. One Kitty Pryde."

"What?" Kitty looked at the television. An image of her appeared on screen. "Oh no…"

"KITTY WHERE ARE YOU?" Lance appeared on the screen.

"This is not happening," Kitty sank lower into her seat.

"Kitty come back to me!" Lance cried out. "I know we can work things out! Come back to therapy with me!"

"You're the one who needs therapy!" Peter's voice could be heard off stage.

"Shut up!" Lance snapped. "If anyone out there knows where she is, please call! She could be hurt or lost out there somewhere! Someone help her please!"

An image of Pietro appeared on screen. He was dressed in a tuxedo and held a rose in his hand. "Actually it's all those other lovely ladies out there who need help. Ladies, do you need a real man to keep you warm on those lonely nights? The number to call is 555-QUICKSILVER. Again that's…"

"PIETRO WILL YOU QUIT INFLATING YOUR ALREADY OVERSTUFFED EGO FOR A MINUTE?" Lance screamed as the camera turned back to him. "KITTY COULD BE IN REAL TROUBLE FOR ALL WE KNOW!"

"Lance will you forget about Kitty already?" Althea shouted from offstage.

"Maybe we'll get lucky and she's lying in a ditch somewhere dead," Todd said off camera.

"I wouldn't go that far Toad," Pietro's voice could be heard next. "Lance isn't that lucky."

"Shut up you!" Lance ran out of sight from the camera.

"Kitty please come back!" Peter appeared on camera next. "You know I'm the one you really love!"

"This is not my life…" Kitty moaned.

"Kitty all your friends are here worried about you," Peter went on. "Your real friends! Not these morons who keep invading our house! Friends like your roommate! She has something important to tell you because she's worried about you!"

"That doesn't sound like Rogue," Kitty said to herself.

"I got something to say all right! I told you this would end in doom!" Rogue's face appeared on the screen. "And surprise, surprise…I was right!"

"Okay that sounds like Rogue!" Kitty groaned.

"Kitty you'd better get back here!" Rogue snapped. "It's your fault these loons are over here in the first place!"

"For once we agree on something!" Wanda appeared. "If you didn't keep dangling Lance on a string he'd have never wanted to come visit you from the beginning!"

"Kitty I know you left because of Lance!" Peter shouted. "Please come home! Or contact me at least!"

"Don't even think about it Metal Muscles!" Lance ran back in. "You're not horning in on my girlfriend any more!"

"Who says she's your girlfriend?" Peter snapped. Both boys began to fight.

"She's mine!" Lance snapped.

"No mine!" Peter shouted.

"This is like totally humiliating," Kitty moaned as the boys fought on TV as the other kids took bets on the outcome.

"If any of you know where Miss Pryde is please contact this studio before it caves in on us," The announcer said. "Please!"

"I think it's time for me to leave," Kitty decided to sneak out the door.

However this did not go unnoticed. "Hey! Isn't that her?" One person shouted and pointed at her.

"Hey isn't she the freak whose boyfriend destroyed the school?" One person shouted.

"Yeah!" A former teacher stood up. "I lost my job over budget cuts because of that!"

"I always wanted to pop one of them one," Another person growled.

"I remember her!" Another man shouted. "I used to be a driving instructor before she came along!"

"Let's get her!" They all shouted. Kitty was soon running from them as fast as she could.

"Great!" Kitty groaned. "This is the second time this month I'm being chased by an angry mob!"

She managed to easily ditch them by ducking into a few alleys and phasing into a nearby building. "Well wherever this is, it's better than out there," She breathed a sigh of relief.

"SHE'S MINE!"

"NO MINE!" The ground shook.

"It's official," Kitty groaned. "I'm cursed!"

She peeked around the corner and found herself in the news station. She saw several of her friends fighting with the Misfits. "Maybe I should try going back outside," She muttered.

"Hey there she is!" Todd pointed. "There's Kitty!"

"So much for that plan," Kitty rolled her eyes.

"Kitty I was so worried about you!" Lance bounded over.

"I noticed," Kitty said icily.

"We couldn't find you using Cerebro so I thought of using the TV station to locate you!" Lance beamed. "Great idea huh?"

"Yeah it was so great that I was nearly trampled to death by an angry mob!" Kitty snapped.

"But I was worried about you! You were gone so long!" Lance said.

"Two hours, Lance! I was gone two hours!" She snapped.

"I told you this plan was stupid!" Peter snapped.

"We found her didn't we?" Lance snapped at him.

"Shut up!" Peter snapped.

"You shut up!" Lance shouted.

"Make me!" Peter growled. Soon both boys were fighting.

"Maybe if I'm lucky I can find that mob again," Kitty groaned.
