This one's by Half'n'Half and of course she can't own more than half of anything or nothing in

this case.

Lance's Kitty

Lance looked over at his arm and smiled. Kitty had attached herself to him and

at the moment was snuggling his right arm.

"Yeay," he thought, "Kitty likes me again!"

He, Kitty, and everyone else who had been fighting Apocalypse were standing

behind the Xavier Institute listening to Professor Xavier talk about the

future. Lance was half listening, half thinking. Not to long ago he and Kitty

had hated each other, but now she suddenly liked him again and he her. Lance

tuned back in as Xavier invited them all to stay for dinner. Freddy smiled and

ran as quickly as he could into the mansion. Kitty looked up at Lance.

"You have to stay Lance!" Lance was about to tell her he would but Kitty

didn't give him time to. She grabbed his hand and stated pulling him into the

house.

After dinner everyone was hanging around talking. Magneto and Wanda had

already left and it was starting to get late so the brotherhood boys decided

to go home. Lance told Kitty goodnight and kissed her forehead, but as he and

the other boys were walking home he realized that Kitty was still attached to

his arm.

"Hey Lance," Pietro sniggered, "looks like a little Kitty is following you

home."

They all laughed, Todd hopped next to Lance. "Yeah Lance, maybe if you get her

all the way home Magneto will let you keep her!" Todd laughed.

The boys walked into the house, Kitty was still attached to Lance's arm.

Magneto was sitting on the couch reading the news paper.

"Uh, Magnito?" Lance asked.

"Hmm?" Magneto breathed as he turned the page of his news paper.

"This Kitty followed me home…so…uh…I was wondering if I could keep her." Lance

asked as he patted Kitty, who was now holding him around the middle, on the

head.

Magneto put his paper down and looked at Lance and Kitty.

"Pleeeeeeeeeease!" Lance begged, giving Magneto a really cheesy smile, "I

promise I'll take care of her, and feed her, and brush her hair…and…and

everything!"

Magneto put his paper back up. "Where will she sleep?" He asked.

"Well, I can make her a bed in my room." Lance suggested, still wearing his

cheesy smile.

"Fine," Magneto said, "but if anyone comes for her she'll have to go home."

Lance's smile grew. "Ok!"

He picked Kitty up, carried her up to his room, and set her on his bed. Kitty

started giggling like a maniac. Lance smiled at her and started making her a

bed in the corner out of some blankets he'd found in his closet. He walked

over to his bed, grabbed a pillow, and set it on the bed he'd made for Kitty.

Then Lance picked Kitty up off his bed and set her down in the bed on the

floor. He tucked a blanket around her and kissed her forehead.

"Goodnight pretty Kitty." He whispered as he turned out the lights and got

into his own bed.

Lance got up early the next morning. He went down stairs with Kitty following

and walked into the kitchen. Kitty sat down at the table and Lance poured them

each a bowl of cereal. He gave a bowl to Kitty and patted her on the head.

Then he sat down across from her and began to eat. While they were eating

Magneto came in, in a dark blue bathrobe. He poured himself a cup of coffee

and sat down at the table.

"So what are you up to today lance?" HE asked, picking up a news paper. Lance

smiled.

"I'm gonna go get my Kitty a collar." Kitty laughed and smiled at Lance.

Magneto shook his head. "Go ahead," he said, turning the page of his news

paper, "but remember, if anyone comes for her, she'll have to go home."

"I know." Lance said, clearing the cereal bowls from the table. He took

Kitty's hand and they went off to the pet shop.

Lance and Kitty sat on the couch playing video games with Todd and Pietro.

Kitty was wearing a pink collar with a heart tag on it that read: KITTY

PROPERTY OF LANCE. They were having a lot of fun when someone came to the

door. Magneto opened the door to find Scott and Jean standing there. Freddy

and John came out of the laundry room holding steaming grilled cheese

sandwiches.

"Who's at the door?" John asked.

Freddy saw Jean and Scott standing in the doorway. "Oh, they're not important.

Come on, lets go make more sandwiches." John nodded and they went off into the

laundry room.

Jean and Scott threw Magneto questioning looks, Magneto shook his head. "Don't

ask, anyway, why are you here?"

"Ummm, we lost our Kitty and we think she's here with Lance." Jean said.

Magneto nodded and turned toward the living room. "Lance, someone's here for

your Kitty."

Lance threw his arms around Kitty. "NOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo!!!!"

Magneto shook his head and walked into the living room. "Now Lance, we talked

about this, remember?" Magneto said as if he were talking to an infant. Lance

nodded. "And now Kitty's owners are here so you have to give her to them."

Lance pouted. "But she's my Kitty; I even got her a collar!"

"Lance," Magneto started, "She needs to go home."

Lance nodded and taking Kitty's hand, slowly got off the couch, and walked to

the door. When Kitty saw Jean and Scott she threw her arms around Lance's

middle and hugged him tightly.

"I, like, don't want to go!" Kitty cried into Lance's stomach. Lance pet her

head.

"Come on, you guys can still see each other!" Jean said as she pried Kitty off

of Lance. She and Scott dragged Kitty outside and put her in the back of the

X-Van.

As they drove away Kitty put her hands on the back window. "Like,

meoooooooooooooow!" She cried.

Scott shook his head. "So does this mean they're together again?" Jean nodded.

Scott sighed. "Greaaaaaaaaaaaaat."
