"Kit! I have an idea."

He looked up as Nita came through his bedroom door and sat down on the edge of his bed. He looked up at the clock. 7:20 am. He grumbled and rubbed his eyes.

"Should I be frightened?"

"I'll skip commenting because..." she trailed off, her eyes widened and a blush gracing her cheeks. Kit smiled at her teasingly, and then it softened. He leaned in and pressed his lips to hers. Their arms wrapper around eachother, they fell back on to the bed, kissing softly. After a long time, Nita pulled back. Kit leaned his forehead against hers.

"Kit.." She whispered.

"I'm sorry," He sat up, still rubbing his eyes. "Now what's this about an idea?"

She looked at him. Kit wasn't the kind of person who changed the subject if he was uncomfortable. But it seemed, today his rules did not apply. She sighed.

"Do you remember, a couple of years back, you said Dairine might be jealous of me?"

He blinked. "Yeah.."

She stood pacing her bedroom. A thoughtful look was on her face, and Kit had to smile.

"In our Ordeal, we had eachother."

"Mhmm.."

" And when we had out shut-down, it wasn't as nearly as long or as bad as Dairine's..."

"Nita. Sorry. But it's seven in the morning, and I'm missing your point."

"Our shut-downs weren't bad because we had eachother.."

"What?"

"Kit! Dairine's always been jealous of our partnership...come on, you're the smart ass...you figure it out."

He closed his eyes, and then reopened. "You think Dairine needs a partner?"

She shrugged her shoulders. "It's just a theory."

"A damn good theory."

She smiled.

"But what do you think a partner can do about her shut-down?"

"Well, partners are there for eachother. They help eachother out. Know eachother better than anyone. I think Dairine's problem is more emotional. If she has someone to back her up, share her power if need be, and always be there for her, she might be able to sort out her problems."

Kit grinned. "Your smarter than I give you credit for..."

"Damn straight."

"But...we can't just give her a partner, Neets...it's...fate...if there is such thing..."

"I know," She grinned. "But I don't think we need to worry..."

Kit looked at her, confused, and then shook his head.

"I won't ask..."

"Good thing. And what's this about 'If there is such thing..'"

"Don't make me explain my morning grudges. If you'll excuse me.." He pulled himself under the covers. "I'm going back to bed. Care to join me?" He patted the spot next to him.

She stared at him, and then shook her head. She crawled beside him, and he pulled her to him, snuggling his face in her neck. She smiled.

"You ARE a smart ass."

"I know that."

"And you have a nice one too. Just an after thought." She teased, sleepily.

"You know it."

"Kit?"

"Mhmm?"

"What would I do without you?"

She felt him smile against her neck. "You'll never have to worry about that."

"Never?"

"Never."
