Immediately they broke free as if they could be quick enough to keep Jean from catching them. Obviously it didn't work.

"Kitty. Were leaving." Jean said this calmly yet coldly as she gave Lance the death glare. Jean then turned around as though Kitty would easily obey her and follow.

Kitty exchanged glances with Lance and thought for a second. This wasn't right. She stood her ground and narrowed her eyes at Jean's back. "Aren't you like, even going to ask me why I'm here?"

Jean turned around to face Kitty. "We'll talk about it in the car."

Kitty rolled her eyes. "Yeah right. Scott's going to totally freak and won't even try to listen to me. I mean I know I screwed up by not telling you that I'm ok but now you know, I am ok."

Jean suddenly made the same face Scott did when he lectures. "With Lance?! You are anything but ok with him! He's probably the reason for you being so irresponsible today!"

"I'm right here, you know." Lance said leaning on the side to the ladies' room wall. His arms were crossed from annoyance. This was definitely putting a damper on their day.

Kitty groaned from Jean's words. "I'm the reason for being irresponsible. Ok? Me! It's not like he forced me to go with him. Phasing power? Remember?"

Jean huffed in annoyance but calmed herself down quickly, giving Kitty a pleading look. "Kitty please just come with me. Everyone's worried about you. After we heard about the fire alarm we came to the school to get you but you were gone. We had no idea where you were because you didn't call."

"Then I'll call. Then will you leave me alone?" Kitty asked pulling out the phone.

Jean sighed and actually gave Lance a pleading look. He must have been her last hope.

He knew this was his chance to do the right thing. He just hated the fact that the right thing was Jean's side of the argument. He approached Kitty and put his hand on Kitty's shoulder. She looked up at him.

"Look Kitty. We had fun today ok. Don't ruin it by getting yourself on probation."

Kitty couldn't believe this. Now Lance was on Jean's side too? Jean reacted the same way. Shock.

Even so Kitty understood Lance and turned around to face him. She gave him a tight hug right in front of Jean and began to walk out of the bathroom extremely pissed off.

Jean couldn't believe how genuine that scene looked then sighed loudly and stopped Kitty in her tracks. "Ok ok! Lance I want you take Kitty straight home. I'll talk to Scott."

Kitty stared at her in shock. "Really?"

Lance reacted the same way. "What?"

Jean smiled and said in a bored tone. "Sure. I'm a teenager too you know. But I want you go straight to the institute. Got it?"

Kitty giggled excitedly and hugged Jean. "Sure thing!"

Jean gave Lance another threatening death glare. Lance responded by holding his hands up in defense. "I promise, I promise."

With that Jean left and Kitty reunited with Lance who was still a little shaken by Jean's glare. He knew how powerful she was. Kitty was still grinning ear to ear. "I so did not expect that. I thought we were goners for real this time."

"Yeah." he said taking her hand. "Shall we?"

She mimicked his fake snotty expression. "We shall."

They then walked out of the ladies' room ignoring the evil stares a few women gave Lance for being in the bathroom in the first place.
