Kitty had managed to let everyone at the Institute know about Scott and Jean's change in relationship in less than one day. Of course, Scott and Jean didn't mind that much, in fact, they were much amused by her actions and wowed by how fast she could push gossip along the line. Many of the people at the Institute had already went up to Scott and Jean to offer their congratulations. Scott and Jean, but mostly Jean, were surprised when Logan came to talk to them. Jean had been almost 100% sure that he would get mad at them, but Logan had said that he would rather Jean end up with 'One-Eye' than with some other dick like Duncan Matthews. At this, Scott had cracked a rare half-smile at Logan. But one of Scott and Jean's main concerns was Duncan, Taryn, and the rest of Bayville High. They had no idea how they would react, and they could only hope for the best, but they had told the teenagers at the mansion to keep quiet about them. They were more than happy to oblige, knowing that because of how long it had taken for Scott and Jean to reveal their feelings for each other, their relationship was worth a lot. But even though they had all promised not to say a word, everyone knew that somehow, Scott and Jean's relationship would get out.

Kitty's room.
Kitty was sitting on her bed, holding a stuffed animal, and was feeling like she had accomplished something big, and she supposed that it was true-Scott and Jean's feelings had been pretty obvious for a long time now. But even through her feelings of accomplishment, she could feel a pang of sadness. She knew only too well the reason for her feeling-Lance. Their relationship, in contrast to Scott and Jean's, was going downhill fast. She couldn't feel the closeness of him anymore, and there was no passion in their kisses. The fact that Lance was seeing her less and less didn't make her feel any better. She sighed as Rogue came in and closed the door behind her.

"What's wrong? You look down in the dumps." She asked concernedly. "Ah know its not 'cause of Scott and Jean-am Ah correct?"

Kitty raised her head and sighed again. "Of course not. I'm really glad that they're finally going out."

"Then what's wrong?"

"Lance." She could feel the tears that were threatening to well up. Rogue took notice of this, and decided that she would need some help.

"I'll be right back. Don't you dare move," Rogue said. She dashed down the hall to Jean's room, and opened the door.

The scene that met her made her turn away, not wanting them to see her grin. Scott was cuddled up with Jean in a sitting position, and were in the middle of the looks of a very passionate lip-lock, which ended as soon as they took notice of her. They sprang apart, trying very unsuccessfully to look nonchalant. Rogue turned back around.

"Hey Rogue, uh, did you need something?" Jean asked uncomfortably.

"I just need yoah help with something," she said.

"What do you need help on?" she asked curiously. This was probably the first time Rogue had asked her for help, ever.

"Kitty," she answered.

Jean turned to Scott. "Uh, sorry, Scott, I'll talk to you after we're done," He nodded, smiling, and Jean leaned over to give him a quick kiss. "I'll be right back, I promise."

"So you can get back to yoah make-out session," Rogue quipped, rolling her eyes good-naturedly. Both of them blushed the color of Jean's hair, and Jean followed Rogue to her and Kitty's room.

Kitty was still sitting on her bed, knees hugged tight to her chest. She barely looked up when Jean and Rogue walked in.

"So what's wrong?" Jean asked. "Are you okay?"

Kitty didn't answer, so Rogue said, "It's Lance," then added, "I can't do guy stuff, so I went to get you,"

"What's wrong with your relationship with him?"

"We aren't spending any time together, and we hardly see each other anymore," Kitty said forlornly. "It isn't really love anymore,"

Jean looked at the younger girl. She wondered where the energetic, bubbly Kitty that had pestered her about Scott went. "Do you still love him?"

Kitty looked away. "I don't know," she said softly.

"Does he still love you?" Kitty dropped her head lower.

"I don't know," she whispered. "I want to, but I can't really force myself to, you know?" Jean nodded, even though Kitty couldn't see it.

"You should just talk to him," Rogue put in.

"Rogue's right, before you do anything, you need to talk to him," Jean agreed. Kitty barely nodded.

"Are you going to be okay?" she asked, getting up.

"Oh, Ah'll make sure she does!" Rogue said determinedly. Jean smiled at her, knowing that if anyone could, Rogue could. That was one of the reasons that she was one of Kitty's best friends, along with Kurt.

"Kitty's having problems with Lance," Jean said, entering her own room, "Their relationship isn't going too well right now,"

Scott engulfed her in a tight hug. "Well, I'm glad that our relationship isn't going downhill. I'm a bit surprised they lasted this long in the first place," Jean nodded, burying her head in his rarely seen muscular chest.

"But go easy on her about Lance for now," Jean said, her voice muffled. "It's hard for her to let go of the feelings she's had for him, even if we don't quite approve of them as a couple," Scott nodded, taking in the sweet smell of Jean's hair.

"I don't know what I'd do without you, Jean." Jean smiled into his sweater.

"As a girlfriend or just as me?" she asked.

"Both."

Kitty had called Lance and asked him to go on a walk with her to talk, but he had said that he was busy. Then, she had broken up with him, telling him that he never had time for her, for them, anymore, while he kept on saying that he was sorry. Although she wanted to, this time, Kitty just couldn't forgive him.

"I'm sorry, Lance." were the last words she said to him before she hung up on him, tears streaming down her cheeks. Rogue had left the room to give Kitty some privacy, and now returned and sat down on Kitty's bed with her.

"You gonna be OK?" Rogue asked, the usual abruptness in her voice not covering the concern she had for Kitty.

Kitty sniffed in response. "I miss him, but I can't go on like this,"

Rogue scooted closer to Kitty, which was rare. "It's okay, girl. You'll be fahne. Ah promise," She embraced the other girl, and even though it was a Rogue-hug, which was even rarer, it still meant a lot. Kitty looked up at her with watery eyes and just barely smiled.
