No own no sue.

"Toad?"

"Yeah, Kitty?" Toad asked as they walked down the hallway. The bell had previously rang, and everyone was rushing to their lockers through the mass, hoping not to be late for their buses.

"I can't practice with you today."

"Why not, yo?" Toad asked turning to her.

"Well, today Jean and I are going shopping."

"Jean? You mean th' redhead?"

"Yeah."

"Oh." He looked a little disappointed, and then suddenly Kitty grinned at him evilly.

"What do you want to come with us?"

His eyes widen.

"Nonononono. that's okay" He said backing away.

Kitty's grin broaden,

"Come on Toad. I can so picture you getting some green-"

"Uh, yeah that's okay! Bye Kitty!" Toad hopped quickly away from his student, and Kitty began to giggle.

'Works everytime.'

"Hey Kitty! There you are!" Jean ran over to her Kitty bright red hair following, while she waved 'Bye' to Duncan.

"Oh, like hey Jean," Kitty greeted looking around, "Where's Scott?"

"Don't worry, he'll be outside in his car, let's go."

It took the two girls a couple of minutes to reached the outside, and out side parked near the stairs was a red car. Inside Scott sat, of course wearing red shades.

'Does he ever take those things off?' Kitty wondered.

"Hey Jean, are you guys ready to go?" He asked as the approached.

"Yep." She replied getting in, Kitty followed her example, and they soon drove off.

"Jean do you mind if we stop by the institute first?" Scott asked, going around a curve in the road.

"No." Jean replied.

"Institute?" Kitty inquired from the backseat.

"Well. uh Scott and I live at the Xavier institute." Jean said slowly answering Kitty's curiosity.

"Why?" Kitty asked still wanting to know.

"Scott, well. he was .'adopted'. by Professor Xavier, and I study under him" Jean explained, again slowly.

"Oh." Kitty said, not wanting to probe any further, she watched as the pulled up to a high gated estate. Her mouth opened slightly.

"This is where you LIVE!?" She gasped. There was a large mansion before them, and the outside was decorated lightly with statues and a water fountain. Scott pulled the car around to their immense home, parking along side it.

"I'll be right back." He assured them, then ran up the steps disappearing within the mansion's doors.

"Did you want a soda or something, somehow I don't believe him when he says 'I'll be right back.'" Jean said brushing back a stray hair.

"Sure." Kitty responded.

Jean then opened up her side door, getting up out of her seat, and Kitty jumped out of the car landing lightly. They both followed Scott's path inside.

"This place. is. it's huge!" Kitty exclaimed looking around, Jean smiled. There was red carpet covering the floor, and mahogany furniture throughout.

"Sit here, I'll just go get us those soda's." Jean told her exiting the room.

Kitty took a seat in a nearby chair and waited, gazing around the room, she still couldn't believe that they lived there! A noise got her attention, and she glanced the doorway.

"Well that was fas-" She stopped when she realized the person she was talking to was not Jean. It was a very muscular medium sized man. He wore blue jeans and a cowboy's hat; he sniffed the air lightly and asked,

"Who are you?'

"Uh ---- hi, I'm um like here with um Jean?" She felt a little intimidated.

"Huh." He replied.

"So um, yeah my names Kitty, who are you?" Kitty asked as politely as she could manage.

"Logan." He replied gruffly, shifting on his weight..

"Um then hi, Mr. - Logan." She said with a small smile. Just then Jean reentered the room. Logan looked at her and sighed saying,

"Red, go entertain your friend."

He gave Kitty another glance and left.

"I see you met Logan." Jean said tossing her a soda.

"So who was he? Your gardener or something?" Kitty questioned, snatching it from the air.

Jean laughed suddenly, coughing a little,

"No, no, he works for the Professor."

Kitty wondered about the 'Professor', like for one how he got all this cash! But concentrated on opening her soda instead.

"Hey how did you know this was my favorite?" Kitty asked after looking at the label.

Jean smiled, "I'm psychic."

"Oh and this looks great on you!" Jean said with a grin.

"Really?"

"It makes your legs look longer." Kitty stole one more glance at it from the mirror and decided that she would buy it.

Fifteen minutes and 4 bags later Jean and Kitty sat exhausted at a small café on the corner. They ate small salads and sipped iced tea while chatting.

"So Kitty?"

"Yes?" Kitty replied, putting down her fork.

"Do you like Kurt?"

Kitty was a little surprised that the conversation had changed to that but said,

"Well, yes . but I really like Lance too."

"You know he really has a thing for you. We can't get him to shut up when he gets home." Jean laughed.

"When he gets. home?" Kitty asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry! Kurt lives with us at the institute. He also studies under the Professor. Anyway, he does like you." Jean told her.

"But what do you think that I should do?" Kitty asked.

"I personally think you and Kurt would work, I don't really trust Lance all that much, but it isn't my decision."

"But I really don't know what to do."

"Well I've got some news that might cheer up Kitty." Jean smiled

"What?"

"Do you want to go to a party on Saturday night?"

"A party?! Totally!!!" Kitty exclaimed then asked, " Where is it?"

"Duncan is throwing it, and he told me to invite you."
