))) hello again, everyone! Sorry I didn't update sooner- as soon as I finished that last chapter, I realized I didn't know what was going to happen next! I didn't want to skip right to 'Spykecam' since I had just finished a chapter that tied in directly with a specific episode, I wanted some sort of in-between, so here it is. (((

Naddie and Kurt were down in the kitchen later that night. It was probably too late for them to be up and wandering around, but neither of them could sleep and they had just met up in the kitchen and decided to find something for a late-night snack.

"Unless you want a moldy bologna sandwich, there's not much in here to eat!" Kurt said, peeking in the fridge. Naddie was on the other side of the kitchen, looking through some cupboards.

"Hey, here's some instant pudding mix," Naddie said absently. "There any milk in there?" Kurt pulled out an almost-full gallon of milk and handed it to Naddie. "Chocolate or pistachio?" she asked.

"Pistachio?" Kurt asked, turning to her.

"Yea, it's actually pretty good," Naddie insisted.

"Ok, let's try that then," Kurt agreed. Naddie measured out the milk and put it in a big bowl, then added the pudding mix.

"It's green," Kurt said.

"Yea," Naddie said. "I know it looks weird, but it's actually really good!"

When Naddie was finished stirring, she cleared out a place in the fridge and put the bowl in.

"There, that needs just a few minutes to cool off," Naddie said. "Hey, Kurt, can you hand me the milk? It's right there behind you." Kurt turned to get the milk jug, but his elbow hit it and it fell to the floor. The cap had never been put back on, so the milk splashed all over the floor. Kurt bent down and grabbed it before the jug was completely empty.

"Oh, man! Look what I did!" Kurt moaned. "How are we going to clean this all up?" Naddie cringed but then laughed.

"Hey, it's no problem," she said. "Where's a mop?" Kurt pointed to a small closet in the corner. Naddie grabbed a mop and a bucket. She started to walk over to where Kurt was still standing, looking down at the mess. She was almost to Kurt when her bare feet slipped on the spilled milk and she started to fall. Kurt saw and ported over to catch her just before she hit the ground. He pulled her up, trying not to slip himself. Naddie was laughing by now, slipping and sliding on the floor, trying to pull herself upright with Kurt's assistance. When she finally made it up into a standing position, she was facing Kurt. He was still holding her hand and they were very close. Naddie stopped laughing and looked into his eyes.

"Kurt. . ." she whispered.

"Yes, Naddie?" he asked. She hesitated.

"You have pudding powder on your nose. . ." she grinned widely and acted as though she were going to lick it off. Kurt pushed her away in mock disgust and wiped the tip of his nose with his sleeve.

"You're such a tease!" Kurt exclaimed.

"Aren't I, though," Naddie said, flipping her hair.

They cleaned up the mess together. It took quite some time since them slipping around in the milk had spread it over half the kitchen floor. When they were done at last, Naddie got down two bowls from the cupboard while Kurt got spoons. Naddie divided the green pudding into the bowls and sat down on a stool at the island to eat.

"Pistachio pudding," Kurt said doubtfully, before taking a tentative bite. "Hey, this isn't bad!"

"Didn't I tell ya?" Naddie asked. "It's one of my favorite kinds."

"Yea, it's not bad," Kurt said absently. He caught himself staring at Naddie as she ate. What was wrong with him? He couldn't fall for Naddie now. She was only staying a few weeks.

". . . and who says we can't have some fun?" Naddie asked. Kurt hadn't even realized for a moment that she was talking. He shook his head a little.

"Uh, sorry, what?"

"That party Friday that Kitty was telling me about." Naddie continued. "I know we're only going to be here a few weeks, but that doesn't mean we can't make some friends, right? I mean, maybe the professor will even know some way we can come back and visit!" Kurt doubted this, but he smiled anyway.

"Hey, Naddie, speaking of that party. . . would you like to go with me?" Kurt asked suddenly. Naddie smiled a huge smile.

"Sure, Kurt! I'd love to." She said. "Wait, is this a date?"

"Um, uh," Kurt stuttered. "I don't know, does this classify as a date? I really don't have that much experience." He blushed.

"That's alright. I don't either," Naddie said honestly. "Hey, whatever happened to Kitty?" Kurt sighed.

"Kitty doesn't like me," he said.

"What makes you think that?"

"She thinks I'm scary-looking, and I am. I creep her out," Kurt said. "She doesn't care about me."

"Course she does!" Naddie insisted. "You couldn't see her face when you got knocked out after Rogue touched you that first time. She was really worried about you!"

"Really?" Kurt asked.

"Yea."

"Well, even if she was, she doesn't like me that way."

"You never know, there's still time for her to change her mind."

"It doesn't matter. Kitty's probably going to the party with Lance, anyway. And I'm going with you." Kurt looked at Naddie and smiled.

"That will be nice," Naddie said.

))) ok, I kinda ripped off that scene where they're sliding around in the milk from the movie 'While You Were Sleeping' where they're slipping on ice and they help each other up, and for some reason, I always thought that was just a really cute, very romantic scene.

Oh, and pistachio pudding- yes it's green and yes it actually tastes good! I had never tried it before until the other day when I was at my friend, Sarah's house and she made me try it. Freaky. Now I have to go get some. . . (((
