How to Fall in Love (even when you don't want to)
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except... except... well whaddya know! I *don't* own anything!
WELCOME! I've never done a fic like this before, and it's very interesting for me. And yes, I do hope it's interesting for you to but I'm not that corny. Anyway, I'm writing this a chapter at a time and don't have much of an idea for what's going to happen, so *please* give suggestions! ****************************************************************************
*Hi, Kitty? It's me Lance, I-* *BEEP* Kitty hit the delete button on the answering machine. That was the second time this week that Lance had called her, and it was getting on her nerves. A lot.
"Why don't ya call him back?" a voice asked.
"Huh? Oh, hey Rogue" Kitty turned to see her friend.
"Well? Are you goin' t'?" she asked.
"Why should I?" Kitty retorted "Lance is a jerk!"
"Of course he's a jerk, but aren't you two in love or somethin'?"
"No!" Kitty exclaimed quickly. Rogue raised an eyebrow.
"Okay, maybe we *were* in love, but we're not anymore! He's our *enemy* Rogue!"
"Well if he keeps calling ya, he has somethin' important t' say. And Ah think he's still in love with ya."
"Sure, whatever." Kitty rolled her eyes.
"Don't ya at least want t' know what he has t' say?"
"No"
"He's just gonna keep callin' ya"
"I don't *care*!"
"Suit yourself" Rogue said with a shrug and walked away. Kitty sighed and looked at the phone. She picked it up and dialed the number.

*RING! RING!*
"I'll get it!" Todd Tolansky eagerly bounded towards the telephone, but a silvery blur beat him to it.
"Hellowhoisit?" Pietro Maximoff asked.
"Um, yeah, it's Kitty, can I talk to Lance please?" the voice on the other end said. Todd was about to call for his friend but before he could...
"Hey Lance, it's you girlfriend!" Pietro shouted. In a matter of seconds Lance appeared and grabbed the phone.
"He moves faster than you when it comes to his cat" Todd said and Lance flashed him a menacing look.
"No one moves faster than *me* frog" Pietro said.
"It's *toad* slow-silver" the other retorted.
"What did you just call me?" Pietro asked in a tone that shut Todd up. Fast.
"Will you guys shut up?!" Lance shouted "Kitty?"
"Yeah, Lance" Kitty said over the phone "I'd just like to tell you to *stop calling me*, okay?" Lance heard a click and that was the end of the conversation.
"Whoa, that was *harsh*!" Pietro said with a grin, as if he was watching a wrestling match and Lance had just been kicked in the head.
"Shut up Pietro" Lance said and slumped onto the couch.
"Gimme a break!" Pietro said "Why do you waste your time thinking about Miss Pryde over at the institute?"
"Yeah Lance, you know them, think they're too good for us!" Todd added.
"Jump off a bridge Pietro" Lance said "and tell the frog to take a bath"
"Touchy, aren't we?" Pietro answered back and dashed to the other side of the room.
"I'm *not* in the mood guys!" Lance said in a menacing tone.
"Oh, so you like the cat better than us? Well I see how it is!" Todd said in pretended "hurt" tone.
"Oh I know! Isn't sad, Todd? Earthquake Boy thinks of a cat over his own teammates!" Pietro played a long and pretended to cry.
"I told you guys, I'm *not* in the mood!" Lance shouted and an earthquake started sending Pietro and Todd to the ground.
"What the hell are you idiots doing now?" Wanda said as she appeared in the doorway.
"Hey, he started it!" Todd said, pointing to Lance.
"Ignore him Wanda" Pietro said "Lance is just keyed up because pretty Kitty won't talk to him." With that, Pietro and Todd left the room.
"Hi Wanda" Lance said.
"What's the matter with you?" she asked.
"Didn't Pietro just tell you?" he said with annoyance in his voice.
"I've stopped listening to him."
"You wouldn't care" Lance said.
"I probably wouldn't" Wanda said and walked towards the door "but if you want to talk to what's-her-name, you should try talking to her in person. That usually helps."
"How would you know?"
"Common sense." Lance groaned at this last statement and sunk farther into the couch.
