Day Three
~*~
It's a secret no one tells;
One day it's heaven, one day it's hell.
It's no fairy tale;
Take it from me,
That's the way it's supposed to be

Kitty woke up early and yawned feeling ten times better. She got out of bed surprised to see that it was noon. She got dressed and went into the kitchen, ate some crackers, still not trusting her stomach, and went into the living room. She sat down and covered up watching some more cartoons until Pete came in. "How do you feel?" he asked.
"Better," she said tilting her head slightly as he felt her forehead.
"Your forehead's cool," he said. "Looks like you're almost better."
"And just in time. The others are coming back today." The two settled down to watch "The Bugs and Daffy Show." Kitty laid as she had the day before, resting her head on his lap. Neither were willing to admit but they weren't ready for the three days to be over.

"I have to admit, this, like, wasn't that bad," Kitty said as they ate lunch together. "Thank you . . . for taking care of me." He smiled a little. "My pleasure, even if you are a real brat when you're sick."
"I am not!"
"So it's usual behavior."
"See if I ever thank you again."
He chuckled. "I'm joking, Pryde, you weren't that bad."
She lifted her chin. "Thank you." They went into the rec. room and watched "Casablanca" at Kitty's insistence. Both had fallen asleep by the end of the movie. They were woken up by the sound of the doorbell.
"I think that's them," Pete said hearing a car door. He stood and looked outside. "Yeah, I see the professor." Kitty got up and opened the door.
"How are ya, sugah?" Rogue asked hugging her roommate.
"I'm fine," Kitty said. "I missed you guys."
"You seem better," Ororo said coming in behind Rogue.
"My fever's almost completely gone," Kitty told her. "How was the trip?"
"Damn Acolytes screwed everything up!" Rogue exclaimed.
"Language!" the professor scolded. "Mr. Wisdom, if you would follow me?" Pete followed the professor to his room.
"You were alone with him for three days?" Jubilee asked excitedly.
"Nothing happened," Kitty said rolling her eyes as she helped Rogue with her bags.
"Three days alone with a hot guy and nothing happened?" Jubilee asked incredulously. "You are a disgrace to woman kind!"
"I was sick," Kitty said. "He took care of me. That simple!"
"He took care of you?" Jubilee was re-interested.
"Yeah, he made me stay in bed almost the whole time," Kitty pouted. "The jerk." She sat down the bags. Jubilee left to go to her own room.
"So nothin' happened?" Rogue asked.
"No," Kitty said. "He just took care of me."
"That's actually really sweet," Rogue said. "Excuse meh as Ah gag."
"Funny," Kitty said. "So, what about the fight with the Acolytes? Like, how'd that go?"
"Fine," Rogue shrugged.
"Did you see Gambit?"
"Kitty-"
"I know you totally like him."
"How?"
"You talk in your sleep."
Rogue flushed. "Okay, Ah'll make a deal with you, Ah'll tell ya but if you say anything about it ya die, all right?" Kitty nodded happily.
Flashback to the battle
Rogue stood looking at the battles from the sidelines. The X-Men were winning easily. She started to walk away when he jumped out in front of her. "Bonjour, chere," he grinned.
"Not you," she sighed crossing her arms. "Shouldn't you be getting your ass kicked with your friends?"
"Non, Remy isn't stupid, he recognizes a losing battle."
"Would Remy leave meh alone?"
Remy pouted. "Doesn't chere like his company?"
"No!"
"You hurt Remy's feelings," Remy grinned. He leaned closer his mouth near her ear. "Mais, you're lyin', chere. Remy can see your eyes." She shivered involuntarily. He lowered his head towards her neck and she pushed him away. "What's wrong, chere?"
"Where do Ah start?" Rogue demanded. "Let's begin with the fact that Ah just learned your name. Then move on to your death wish."
"Death wish?"
"Mah powers, Frenchy. If you had touched meh Ah could have put ya in a coma."
Remy looked disappointed. "You can't touch?"
Rogue looked down. "No." She felt him take her chin in his own gloved fingers.
"Remy can work around dat," he murmured huskily. "Remy is tres creative." He winked before walking away.
Present day
"Wow," Kitty said smiling.
"Ah know," Rogue said. "Stupid Cajun!"
Kitty laughed. "You really like him don't you."
"No . . . maybe a little. What about you, Kit. You like this Wisdom guy?"
"I don't know," Kitty admitted. "He's weird. I can't decide if he's nice or a jerk."
"Ah have that same problem," Rogue sighed. The professor announced that their dinner had arrived. After dinner Kitty went outside to look at the stars.
"You sure you should be out here?" Pete asked coming out behind her.
"I'm feeling totally better," Kitty smiled.
"So you think you're over it?" Pete asked.
"Yep."
"Good. I've wanted to do this for a while." With that he leaned forward and kissed her softly. Kitty pulled back in shock.
"Pete, what are you-"
"Goodnight, Pryde," he smiled before walking inside.
