Author Speaking: I just couldn't resist expanding on this little piece to make it into a whole mushy sigh inducing romantic tale. So….I've decided to touch on a few of the lines from the song, thread them into chapters and present the end result to y'all. I hope all Lancitty fans enjoy as well as any lovers of a sweet little romance.

Please be patient for updates as I'm working on a few different ideas at once. :-)

They Might Tell You

Kitty had been walking on air all day, replaying the night before over and over in her mind as she went through her classes.

Seeming to float through the front doors of the institute with a very grouchy Rogue trailing after her, she smiled at everyone in her path as she made her way upstairs.

She had a date with Lance in just an hour and she wanted to look perfect.

Rogue entered their bedroom moments later to find her roommate pulling clothes from the closet, looking them over and groaning about them somehow being "like a total disaster" then tossing them aside.

"What are you doing?"

Kitty turned to Rogue with a devastated expression.

"I like have nothing to wear!"

"You're not still planning on actually going out with that hood, are you?"

"He isn't a hood, Rogue. You used to be one of the Brotherhood, but do any of us think of you as a hood?"

"Name just one time I was hanging out with those losers that I tried to actually harm any of the X-Men," Rogue challenged. When she got nothing but a frown in answer she continued, "Lance used you and left you to die in his mess the first day y'all met and he's still a menace to the team. That's what makes him a hood, Kitty."

The words shook Kitty's good mood until she finally glared at the other girl and left the room to search out the other girls to see if they had something she could wear.

~*~*~

Jean had some nice clothes even though they may be a little long for Kitty, so that's where she headed next.

The redhead telekinetically opened her bedroom door to let Kitty in after she knocked.

"I've got like a huge favor to ask. Do you have anything I could borrow to wear tonight?"

Jean looked up from the homework she was completing to stare at Kitty.

"If I've something you like that'll fit, you're welcome to it, but are you sure you want to be going out with Lance Alvers?"

"What have you got against him?"

Jean sighed in a way that just irked the heck outta Kitty.

It was the kind of sigh only parents should make when their kids are driving them crazy.

"I don't really have anything against Lance, but he's a danger to himself and others. He's reckless, rebellious and angry with a lot of things that he feels was done to him. It's a dangerous combination that has put you, your parents and the X-Men in harmful situations more than once."

I'd hate to hear what you had to say if you really did have something against him, Kitty thought as she turned on her heels and flounced from the room without even looking at Jean's clothes.

~*~*~

She put more thought into who she approached next and decided Tabitha would be the perfect choice.

BoomBoom didn't lecture.

She was a pretty wild child and like totally had no grounds to be lecturing others, so Kitty felt sure she could get some snazzy outfit for her date without any hassles.

"Hear ya gotta hot date tonight," Tabby said wickedly as she let Kitty into her room.

"Yeah and I'm like in a total jam. Nothing I have will work for tonight!"

"You can to the right place! I'll get you all decked out and have you rock his world when he sees you," the blonde girl promised as she guided Kitty into the room and shut the door.

~*~*~

With fifteen minutes to go until she was to meet Lance outside the school's gates, Kitty stood looking at herself in Tabitha's mirror.

The girl had been so right, this was gonna totally rock Lance's world!

Her hair was left down for a change and had little curls in it thanks to a curling iron and tons of hairspray.

Her blue eyes looked even bigger and bluer than they were with the help of the makeup Tabitha had skillfully applied.

That makeup also had her lips looking all full and pouty and begging to be kissed.

The clothes she had borrowed were perfect.

They were very different from her usual kinda geeky duds while not going in the completely opposite direction and looking trashy.

She was wearing a bluish green slipdress that hung from her shoulders on thin little spaghetti straps to fall softly over her body to where it ended about mid thigh.

Tabitha had tried to talk her into wearing just above the knee knee-highs that would have looked real flirty and killer high heels, but that Kitty didn't want to be giving Lance too many ideas on their first real date.

So she was wearing a respectable pair of pantyhose and some comfy strap on sandals that were a pretty close match to the color of her dress.

As Tabby had said, the end result was invitingly innocent and bound to make her date her willing slave for the night and all eternity if Kitty played her cards right.

After all this, BoomBoom had just moved up the ranks to become her best friend.

So what if she'd known Jean and Rogue longer, Tabitha was being a totally good friend to her right now when she needed one and the others were just being pains.

Thanks to her new best friend, though, Kitty was ready to knock Lance dead!

Figuratively speaking only, she added mentally.

~*~*~

As she practically trotted down the staircase, she drew the attention of Kurt and Scott who were just coming into the foyer from the direction of the kitchen.

Kurt was eating an apple he promptly choked on when he saw he.

"Vov, Kitzy, you didn't have to dress up like zhat for me!"

She laughed delightedly at the compliment before saying, "It's not for you silly. I've got a date tonight."

Scott frowned at that, knowing what it meant.

"You're actually going out with him?"

"Like just because you can't get along with someone who's just as good as leading as you are doesn't mean I can't, Scott."

"That has nothing to do with it, Kitty. Alvers is nothing but trouble. You shouldn't be going out with him."

"Avalanche? You're going out vith zee Avalanche?"

She just glared at both of them and resisted the urge to have a highly immature tantrum at everyone giving their opinions on this date when they weren't even asked for them.

With as much dignity as she could muster, she stalked past them to and out the front door.

Which Logan was just about to enter.

"You got a visitor outside the gate," the man practically grunted the words.

"Great, so like, are you gonna lecture me too?"

My goodness, he actually smiled at her!

"Nah. You may be a half-pint, but your head is on straight. Just let him know if he tries anything on ya that you don't want, I got six claws that'll be introducing themselves to whatever part of his body he got fresh with."

Yikes at that imagery, but she totally smiled back at him for being so cool about the whole thing when all her so-called friends were just plain bugging her.
