Notes: Don't be prepared for anything long or especially well written. Writer's block sucks. Anyhow. . .

Thanks to everyone who congratulated me on graduating. It was appreciated.

Beryl: Yeah, I know that Kitty is a little OOC, but that's the beauty of fan fiction. I can do that to her as a kind of revenge for Kurt on the show. . .right? Anyhow, glad like the story so far.

JDH3: I've been pretty lazy and have refused to sign in lately, too. Yeah, it's a little sad for Kurtty people (myself included). I've had to stop myself from turning it into a Kurtty twice now.

Kiki Cabou: Thanks for crossing your fingers. Glad you like the story. I dig Tabby, but she can be pretty annoying on the show sometimes. I hope they do more with her in the future.

Glaivester: I dig the "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" comic. I read in many, many years ago. That's why I hated the movie so much. They ruined the book. Anyhow, thanks for the suggestions!

Electric Russian (Yuri!): okay, I don't get the "I scoured chapter 5 and didn't find anything racist" comment in your last review, and it scares me! And I like Lance suffering too! And don't worry, he won't get anything that he wants.

Okay, enough for now. On to the story. . .

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------

Kurt sat in his seat, watching the movie. His thoughts were with Tabby, and not the girl who was sitting next to him. As a matter of fact, Kurt had hardly noticed Kitty all night long. All he had noticed was Tabby and Lance, and he noticed the pain in his heart when he saw them together. This was getting to be too much for him. Suddenly he felt a hand on his thigh, and looking down, saw Kitty absentmindedly running her hand along his leg. Rolling his eyes, Kurt sighed, and continued to at least try to watch the movie. Kitty peeked at Kurt from the corner of her eye, wondering if he had even noticed her hand.

Down towards the front, Tabby was in the same situation as Kurt: someone's hand was on her thigh, and she wanted it gone. Lance had been handling her all night long, and she was beginning to get pretty tired of it.

"Thank God this movie is almost over. It must be close to over, at least." Tabby thought.

Sure enough, at that moment, the movie ended, and the lights came up as the credits began to roll. Tabby looked over her shoulder to find Kurt, and saw him standing, with Kitty gripping his hand tight to her.

"Jesus, does she want to date him or own him?" thought Tabby, realizing that with a girl like Kitty, it was probably the latter.

The four teens met up outside of the theater, Kurt and Lance trading dirty looks, and Kitty glaring at Tabby as Tabby took Kurt's arm in her own.

"Okay, well, if you two don't mind, I have some stuff to talk about with Kurt. So we'll see you in a little bit. We're taking a walk." Tabby said.

"Well, what about. . .?" Kitty began.

"Ve'll see you in a little bit, Katzchen." Kurt said, turning around with Tabby.

When the two were a safe distance away, they looked over their shoulders to make certain that they weren't being followed. When they realized that they hadn't been, they quickly ran into an alley and turned to each other, laughing.

"Oh my God! She's gonna rape you!" Tabby said through the laughs.

"Seriously! And Lance! How many hands has he got?" Kurt asked.

"Feels like twenty." Tabby said.

Finally, their laughter died down, and the two looked each other in the eye.

"So, I guess everyzing is vorking out for you." Kurt said, looking down at his feet.

"You can't say anything to him." Tabby thought. "You don't deserve him. Remember that."

"Yeah, I guess the plan worked." Tabby said aloud.

"Jah."

"Kitty certainly seems to have taken a liking to you." Tabby said.

"Jah. Jah, she has. I. . .I. . .Tabby?" Kurt said, looking back up at her.

"Yeah?" Tabby asked, holding her breath.

"I vas zinking. . .maybe. . .ve. . .you know, us. . ." Kurt said.

"Stop, Kurt." Tabby said.

"Vhat?"

"Stop. I don't know what you're about to say, but I have a feeling that it's gonna be a huge mistake."

"But, Tabby, I don't zink zat my feelings for Kitty are ze same as my feelings for. . ."

"Kurt! Stop! Listen, we did this for a reason, yes?" Tabby asked.

"Jah, but. . ." Kurt began.

"But nothing! Listen, you wanted Kitty! You got her!" Tabby said, turning away from Kurt.

"And you vanted Lance." Kurt said slowly.

"Yeah, yeah I did." Tabby said.

"Did?" Kurt asked, almost hopeful.

"Do." Tabby said without turning around to face him.

"Okay. Okay." Kurt said. "I von't say anyzing zen."

Kurt began to walk away from her and out of the alley.

"Don't stay here too long. I hope zat I didn't ruin our friendship by even suggesting. . ."

"Don't worry. You didn't." Tabby said.

Kurt walked out of the alley, leaving Tabby there. Tabby finally turned around, and wiped her eyes. The last thing that she wanted was Mr. Chivalrous to see her crying.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------

Kitty and Lance were standing against a wall near the movie theater, their arms crossed and eyes forward. Neither of them had spoken since Kurt and Tabby had left.

"So, uh, you sure you're gonna be happy with Fuzz Butt?" Lance asked.

"Let's see. . .he opens doors for his girlfriend, he paid for her dinner, he paid for her movie ticket, he was attentive and made certain that she was happy. Yeah. Yeah, you know what? I think I'm gonna be just fine." Kitty said.

"Whatever." Said Lance.

Kurt walked up to them, smiling nervously at Kitty.

"Hey, vhat's up?"

"Nothing. Lance and I just, like, totally broke up." Kitty said, smiling at Kurt.

"Oh. Really?" Kurt asked.

"Yup." Lance said, looking bored with the situation. He kept looking over Kurt's shoulder for Tabby.

"Jah, vell, so did Tabby and I." Kurt said, looking down at his feet.

"Are you serious?" Kitty yelled, jumping up and down.

Kurt gave her a look that read "What in the hell is wrong with you?"

"Oh, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Kitty began to coo.

Lance rolled his eyes, and pushed himself off of the wall.

"Where's Tabby?" Lance asked.

"She vas down zat alley two blocks zat vay." Kurt said, pointing down the street.

"Thanks, Fur Ball. Now stay away from her."

Kurt and Kitty watched Lance walk off. Once he was gone, Kitty threw her arms around Kurt, pulling his face down to his.

"Oh, Kurt! This is, like, so great! Now we can totally be together!" Kitty said.

"Oh jah?"

"Totally! You're single, I'm single, we're both single!" Kitty sang, jumping up and down.

Kurt laughed.

"Jah, I guess so, Katzchen." Kurt said.

Kitty pulled his face down to hers and planted another kiss on him. Kurt tried as hard as he could to fall into that kiss. He tried hard to not pay attention to anything but her lips. Maybe that was his mistake. The kiss was still lifeless. He opened his eyes, and saw her eyes were closed. He broke the kiss and hugged her, trying his best to look over her shoulder for Tabby. Kitty, however, continued to turn in circles, and he couldn't see. Sighing, he squeezed Kitty harder, closing his eyes, and wishing he was with someone else.

Tabby watched from down the street, tears still in her eyes. She stood there until Lance finally found her.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------

Tabby had watched Kitty jump up and down and embrace Kurt.

"Yeah. I guess you have everything in the world to be happy about, little girl. You've got a great guy and you just dumped Lance. There's nothing wrong in "Kitty Town," is there?" Tabby thought to herself.

Why didn't she just let Kurt say it? Why didn't she just let herself be herself like she did with Kurt. When she was with him, she didn't have to put on the show that she did for others. She could truly just be herself. And now that was gone. He wouldn't have the time for her anymore. And would Kitty even let him hang out with her, even as a friend? Tabby seriously doubted it.

Tabby had begun to cry when she saw the kiss, and hated herself for not taking a chance on the fuzzball. That's when Lance had found her.

"You lookin' at that?" Lance asked, motioning towards Kitty and Kurt. "Pretty sick, huh?"

"Yeah, I guess so." Tabby whispered.

"Don't worry, they deserve each other." Lance said.

"No. No they don't. Or at least one of them doesn't." Tabby thought.

"Besides, I'm here to take care of you now." Lance said, putting his hand on her shoulders.

"You are?" Tabby asked, turning around.

"You bet." Lance said, and kissed Tabby.

Tabby closed her eyes, and did her best to try to pretend that he was Kurt.

It was in vain.

I know, I know! Short chapter. Can't be helped. Sorry about the long wait for a short chapter. Not only did I graduate and have a lot of parties to go to, but I'm also suffering from a really bad case of writers block. I almost decided to abandon the story, or just take it off of FF.net. But I'm trying to work through it now. Anyhow, I'll have something up in a day or two, and I'll try to make it extra long so that it makes up for this one.

Later.
