The Dance

~*~

Looking at the pages of my life

Faded memories of me and you

Mistakes you know I've made a few

~*~

Lance sighed looking at the picture on his nightstand, Kitty. He shook his head straightening his jacket. "Wanda?" he called.

"Coming!" she called. She came down in a short low-cut black dress.

"Hey," he said in greeting. "Don't let Pietro see that."

Wanda smirked. "Pietro! We're leaving!" The speed-demon rushed down the stairs.

"What are you wearing?" he demanded looking at his twin.

"My job here is done," she said. "Let's go." Lance followed her out.

"Wanda!" Pietro called. "You can't-" he was cut off by the slamming of the door. He sighed.

"Dude, did he go?" Fred asked sitting on the couch.

"Yes, plan: get Lance to stop moping and back with that annoying Valley- Girl has been put in motion," Pietro said.

"I still can't believe Wanda's going with Todd," Fred said shaking his head.

"Fred! I'm trying to repress here!"

~*~

Baby, you were there to pull me through

We've been around the block a time or two

I'm gonna lay it on the line

At the gym

/How did I let her talk me into this?/ Lance wondered. Wanda had been allowed to go to the school and when she heard about the upcoming dance she had asked that he take her, claiming that she couldn't find a date. Not wanting to risk being hit by one of her hex bolts he agreed. Now that he was here though. . .

"Lance, can I borrow your date?" Todd asked approaching.

"If she wants," Lance shrugged surprised when Wanda walked onto the dance floor with him. He walked over to the punch bowl and poured himself a glass leaning against the wall as he drank. It was then that he saw her. Out on the dance floor with Rogue was Kitty. She was dressed in a spaghetti-strap light purple dress with a slit on the side.

He froze his eyes following her movements. Rogue saw him and her eyes widened slightly. She nudged Kitty who turned and froze. Their eyes met from across the room. He threw his cup in the trash approaching slowly. Kitty walked away from Rogue to meet him halfway. They stared into each other's eyes neither speaking.

"Hey," he said finally.

"Hi," she returned her voice husky. An old Bon Jovi song began playing and he extended a hand.

"Dance with me?" he asked.

Kitty turned to Rogue who nudged her forward. Kitty actually almost appeared frightened of the prospect. "Do it or Ah'll leave ya here." The younger girl nodded taking Lance's hand and allowing him to lead her to another part of the room.

"Your plan worked?" a voice said behind her. She turned smiling at Remy.

"Of course, Ah told Pietro it would," she said. "Now we just have ta hope that they work things out."

~*~

Ask me how we've come this far

The answer's written in my eyes

~*~

Lance and Kitty looked at each other a few seconds before Lance reached out pulling her close placing his hands on her hips. She wrapped her arms around his neck and the two began moving together. Both were completely lost. This felt so right but they knew they shouldn't be doing it.

"I've missed you," Kitty whispered.

"I missed you two, kitten," he responded.

Kitty looked into his eyes feeling tears burning in her eyes. "And I still love you. I couldn't stop." He lowered his head and they kissed gently.

"Don't cry, kitten."

~*~

I've lived, I've loved, I've lost, I've paid some dues, baby

We've been to hell and back again

Through it all you're always my best friend

~*~

"I love you too," he whispered finally. "I didn't stop for one moment." She laid her head on his shoulder content to just dance with him, be held in his arms one more time.

"What next?" she asked after a few seconds. This was the question they both were dreading.

"I don't know," he admitted. "Can we just say: 'screw the past'? Magneto's gone, there's nothing to keep us apart."

~*~

For all the words I didn't say and all the things I didn't do

Tonight I'm gonna find a way

~*~

"'Screw the past'?" Kitty asked. "That's a good motto for our relationship."

He smiled kissing her softly. "I just figure that, well, as long as we're together, who cares about all the rest of this crap?"

"I-"

"I know, we both have our responsibilities but can't we just be us? Lance and Kitty, two people who are in love?"

"That was, like, almost poetic," she said smiling up at him. "I agree, Mr. Alvers, 'screw the past,' let's just be us."

He grinned. "You, pretty kitty, rock."

Kitty groaned burying her head in his shoulder. "La-ance!" His grin widened as he lowered his head capturing her lips in a soft, but passionate kiss.

~*~

Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new

That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more

I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time

When I look at what my life's been comin' to

I'm all about lovin' you
