A Rough and Rowdy Crowd

Still smiling from her brief conversation with Logan Kitty rushed down the driveway and phased through the front gate to Lance.

He was standing a little nervously next to his Jeep in a pair of new looking black jeans and his usual black t-shirt.

Her smile became adoring as she realized this was his way of dressing up for her.

"Did I keep you waiting?" She asked as she stood about a foot away from him.

"Nah. Thought you mighta changed your mind," he confessed.

"No way! I've been waiting all day for this."

His lips curled at her words and the way her eyes light up as she said them just before he leaned down to give her a kiss.

After a moment he pulled back and opened the passenger side door to his Jeep then assisted her up into the seat.

"So what would you like to do tonight?"

"Anything you want to do is fine with me. I like, just wanna be with you."

He turned in the driver's seat he'd just settled into and gave her another kiss for her answer.

She was breathless and he becoming a little uncomfortable in his jeans when they parted, but smiles were on both their faces.

About twenty minutes later Lance had two drinks in his hands and Kitty carried a huge bucket of popcorn as they scanned the darkening theater for seats.

His brown eyes spotted the perfect pair of chairs sitting empty in the back corner and he nudged a willing Kitty in that direction.

They settled into the seats with Lance taking the one on the aisle and she snuggling up against his side with the popcorn in her lap.

Previews were starting as he set their sodas down and laid an arm around her shoulders to keep her against him.

Just this could keep him happy forever, Lance thought as he watched his girl popping kernels of her buttery snack into her mouth.

As if sensing his gaze on her Kitty tilted her head back and teased his lips apart with a piece of popcorn.

He took the morsel with a teasing wink that made her blush, but she eagerly dug into her bucket to get him another piece and repeat the process.

They were so wrapped up in each other they failed to notice the trio that took the seats in front of them.

Or at least, tried to take the seats.

It was Fred's cursing of the unfairly small chairs in theaters that alerted Lance to the fact that his 'friends' were crashing his date.

Groaning, he looked to see Toad staring at Kitty's popcorn and Pietro leering at her, obviously having watched her feeding Lance some of that popcorn.

He snarled at that look and the theater shook enough to draw Quicksilver's attention from Kitty to Lance.

The white-haired jerk just smirked at him, delighted to see that Avalanche was getting restless.

Kitty was staring at the boys in front of her with open disgust, but she didn't want Lance to get into any trouble so she snuggled closer to him and whispered "Let's just enjoy the movie."

That proved an impossible suggestion.

The Blob was totally obstructing their view of the screen and Pietro had decided he wanted to flirt with Kitty even though the whole theater was shushing him.

The last straw though was Toad.

Kitty was glaring furiously at Pietro while she dipped her hand into the popcorn bucket to get a handful at the exact same moment Toad had decided to shoot his tongue out to get some for himself.

She jumped to her feet shrieking as slime from his tongue coated her fingers.

"That is like the most disgusting thing ever!"

Lance was on his feet, ready to rock the building to the ground when an usher appeared to escort them all out of the building.

For a moment all five of them stood together outside the theater just glaring at each other.

"So where we going next?"

Kitty stamped her foot on the ground at Toad's flippant question and just grabbed Lance's arm to drag him away to where he'd parked his Jeep.

Following slowly behind, he took the time to rock the ground beneath the trio they left behind until the marquee at the theater's entrance threatened to come crashing down on them and they fled.
