Hey again.

Thanks for the reviews! I hope you guys like this chapter but writer's block was killing me. Finally this popped into me head. Hope you enjoy! :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They were still soaked head to toe when they reached the end of a street three blocks away from the diner and were still laughing as they leaned on each other to support themselves.

It felt good to break away from responsibility every once in a while. Kitty knew the X-men was all about doing the right thing and that made life pretty stressful for her. With Lance though she could just let lose and have fun even if it meant running for your life in the process.

Her thoughts were stopped abruptly when she felt Lance's hands grab her shoulders and push her into the alley they stood in front of. She nearly lost her balance from the lack of readiness and but quickly regained it and pushed Lance back. "Hey! What's the big idea?"

Lance just pulled her down to a crouching position next to him and pointed at the where they just were. The car containing Scott Summers and Jean Grey drove by looking a little worried. Scott stopped at the curb while Jean got out.

"Professor Xaivier said he sensed Kitty around here somewhere." Jean said looking around the street. She sighed "I can feel it too, just leave me here for now."

"Ok." Scott nodded. "I just don't get Kitty. School has a fire and now she's disappeared."

Jean looked at him with worry. "You think she's ok?"

"I hope so." Scott said. "I'll drive around the block."

Oh my god. Kitty couldn't believe this. She didn't even think about calling and telling them she's ok. For all they knew she could be dead in a school fire or even the diner fire. There were already fire trucks racing to the flooded diner.

She exchange glances with Lance. Even though he wasn't a fan of Jean or Scott especially, he knew they were there for kitty. The fun was over. She needed to get back before they planned her funeral.

Before he had a chance to get up and confront Jean, he felt Kitty grab on to his shoulders thrusting him into the building beside them. Next thing he knew he was inside a women's restroom which was luckily empty.

He stiffened up from his surroundings looking around but regained himself when he looked at Kitty who had a determined look on her face. "kitty? Why'd you do that?"

Kitty rolled her eyes. "Duh. If Jean and Scott found us together in an alley what would they think?"

Lance thought about it and knew. He looked a little sad. "They don't trust me."

"Well of coarse they don't. It's like we're always fighting against each other. If they saw you with me soak and wet in a darkened alley Scott would have totally killed you!"

"Still, you shouldn't have just left Jean looking for you." It's was Lance's turn to act responsible. "Look Kitty they're worried about you."

"I know!" She said sounding frustrated. "And I'm going to call them but I just don't want to deal with them right now! I'll be getting lectures from like everyone! They just don't realize that I can take care of myself. I just want to-."

Kitty stopped herself and looked down embarrassed.

Lance approached her raising his palms in question. "You just want to what?"

She didn't say anything.

Lance came closer and put a hand her shoulder. She peeked at him. "Come on, Kitty."

Right then Kitty pushed him into a stall and closed the door on them. The stall was tiny so there bodies were smash together. Uncomfortable. Before Lance could ask why she did that he heard footsteps from a women who just entered the bathroom.

They held their breath and didn't say anything when the woman stopped walking. A minute later she left and they let out a huge sigh of relief. It wasn't Jean.

"That was close." Kitty said, but then blushed when she realized how play-on-words her comment was.

She was practically phased inside Lance they were so close. He looked down at her and smiled nervously. She did the same blushing beet red. "Heh heh."

"Maybe we should get out now." Lance suggested, not really caring if they never left that spot.

Kitty stared at him and shrugged. "I can't reach the lock."

"Then phase through."

She smiled and shrugged again. "Can't do that either."

Lance gave her a confused look. Is this the same Kitty he bailed out of detention? He just stared at her a little nervous. "Then what should we do?"

"Lance you can be such a geek!" Kitty said rolling her eyes. "When are you going to kiss me?"

That took Lance by surprise but before he could think clearly he obeyed. He angled his neck as kitty got on her tip toes so that their eyes to met each other. Their lips then touched softly yet slightly hesitant.

Soon all of the uneasiness washed away as Kitty wrapped her arms around his neck lacing her fingers through his wet brown hair. He leaned more into her never feeling so close to anyone in his life. She felt so good in his arms.

Kitty got so caught up in the kiss she accidentally phased right through the stall bringing Lance down with her. "Oof!" they both hit the tiled floor hard still in each other's arms.

They groaned a little but then Kitty giggled and refused to let Lance out of her arms. Not like Lance was trying to break free or anything.

But then the sound of a foot tapping on the ground shut them up. They both looked at the foot that tapped behind their heads, and followed the it up to the head. There stood Jean with her hands on her hips in disapproval.
