Who Say's Cats Don't Like Water?

The giant oak tree's branches swayed with the light summer breeze. It's shadow danced on the floor of the dimly lit room. Kitty leaned back in her chair and watched the light flicker in and out of her window. 'I've been having this weird feeling that something big is going to happen soon, man, I'm starting to sound like Jean. I'm not the one who is supposed to get premonitions around here, but if something was going to happen Jean or the professor would tell us....right?' Kitty sighed and shrugged it off. 'Maybe I just have too much time on my hands, I mean, it is summer vacation after all'.

"Kitty! We're all going outside to play some baseball, want to come?!" Bobby stood in the doorway with his bat in hand and the other resting on his hip. He had a goofy grin on his face, obviously remembering the one time they played baseball and it got out of hand. It was supposed to be a "fair" game but they had all used their powers. You can imagine what happened after that.

"You bet!" Kitty was happy to have an excuse to get outside. She shut the door behind Bobby as he left and dug through a drawer to find her uniform. She was proud to say that she had changed a lot from joining the x-men a couple years ago. Not only has she physically changed, but mentally also. Before she came to Xavier institute she was a scrawny valley girl who only cared about doing well in school and having an ordinary life. Now she was proud to say that she is stronger, prettier, smarter, and more mature than she used to be. She looked at herself in the full length mirror and was not disappointed with what she saw. Sure she wasn't as mature looking as Jean, or as cool as Rouge but she brought a lot to the table.

Her button nose scrunched up as she examined herself. She had a growth spurt over the last year and was developing quite nicely. Her legs were longer and she had a lot more curves than when she first started high school. She had started wearing her hair down seeing how it framed her face nicely, but since she was going out to play baseball she decided to put it into her old style of a ponytail. Smiling at herself in the mirror, her emerald eyes lit up. 'Let's play some ball! Maybe it will get my mind off things' she ran down the long staircase and phased right through the door, not bothering to open it up.


Meanwhile in the professor's office....


"If what I have heard is true... we must take action immediately. Storm, tell the children that I will be holding a meeting with them all tonight at 6. Logan, see to it that the jet is ready to go." Storm stood up and walked out of the room followed by Logan who glanced over his shoulder to see Professor Xavier lost in thought.

Well that's it for the introduction! Sorry for it being short, it's just to set the "mood" you could say. This is my first ever fanfiction so comments and support are greatly appreciated! Please no flames. Nice advise is always welcome though. (P.S. Should I write with less or more description, and or dialog. This is a concern of mine).
