Chapter Two.
Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews, I wasn't sure if to continue or not because I really have to think about which direction I want this story to go in. My ideas seem to be flowing now so, here's another chapter!
I don't own X-Men Evolution.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*
Kitty frantically screamed as the cold, dirty water penetrated her clothes and onto her skin. She tried desperately to regain her balance but concentrated with the fact the she was completely soaking wet and freezing. No sooner had she felt someone grab a hold of her hand and help her out of the water, she bent over spewing up pond water as she fell to her knees.
Kitty shivered viciously as she dropped herself down onto the grass and welded her eyes shut as if trying to imagine some sort of warmth within her body. She lay there for a bit, some how sensing that someone was beside her, when she recalled that somebody had helped her out of the pond. She slowly opened her eyes to avoid the setting sun, desperately trying to focus on the blurry figure leaning over her. Upon seeing the person, she really wished that she had keep her eyes shut.
"Like Pietro? It was you all along! You total and complete idiot! What the hell do you think you were doing? You are such an insensitive jerk! You could have..." Kitty's rambling was interrupted by her sudden urge to sneeze. "Achoo... achoo, achoo."
"You see what you did you moron! I was like totally fine before you decided to push me into the pond! What are you doing here anyway?
Pietro just stared at her.
"Hello, I like asked you a question!"
"Yeah I heard you but I was waiting for you to stop whining. And last time I checked Pryde, this was a public park."
"Yeah and it seems as though they'll let just about anybody walk into it. Just look... look at what you did to my backpack." Kitty's voice cracked slightly and she choked back tears. She grabbed a stick from off the ground and strode over to the edge of the pond. She fished her bag out of the water and held up the water soaked papers. "Perfect... just perfect! And all my science notes were in here... achoo!"
Pietro zipped across to her side and tried to lend a hand but she just brushed past him and threw her bag onto the grass.
"Hey I'm trying to help you Pryde!"
"Well thank you so much for your humble generosity," she gave a slight curtsy, " what are you gonna do next - set my hair on fire!"
"Geez it was just an innocent practical joke! Come to think of it, it was kind of funny to see you struggling in about two feet of water." Pietro suppressed his urge to burst out laughing.
"A joke? You think scaring me half to death and pushing me into a pond of freezing, dirty, smelly water is funny?" Kitty's eyes glistened with unshed tears, "Would you please just get out of my face... achoo!"
"No need to get your claws out Pryde! Hey it's not my fault that you're so flighty that you can't take a joke!"
"Excuse me... flighty? Me... flighty? I'm like not hearing this! Today is really not my day! If you weren't such a dense doltz you would have realized that scaring a 15-year-old girl, who's alone in the park, in the afternoon IS NOT FUNNY! Achoo, achoo, achoo, achoo...cough, cough."
Kitty's temperature was now way past boiling point. Her eyes felt as though they were on fire and her head was pounding as though she just had a run in with Juggernaut... and lost!
"Achoo... listen Pietro, I'm seriously not in the mood to handle all this crap right now so can you please leave me alone. I'll be sure to let Logan and Scott know that I had a run in with you and that you left me a present... severe pneumonia! Achoo!"
Kitty... heh, heh... have I mentioned how totally sorry I am."
"It's a little too late for that, don't you think!" She began to walk off.
"Wait Kitty... I know what I did was wrong and I'm really, truly sorry for that. Here take my jacket... it's the least I can do."
"Oh come on, give it up Pietro! I won't like really tell Logan and Scott, duh I'm not a baby! Cough, cough... I just want to forget this day ever happened." Kitty's eyes began to water - again, although she was unsure as to why. She tried really hard not to think about Kyle and how everything was so messed up but failed miserably. This moment didn't go unnoticed by Pietro though."
"Are you okay Pryde? You look sort of weird."
"Like what do you care? Just go away and leave me alone."
"Pryde are you sure I can't walk you home or something. I do feel kind of responsible for getting you all wet... not a lot responsible but a bit."
Kitty was now burning up inside. Her face went all red as the warm tears just came streaming down her cheeks. She mentally kicked herself for getting this sensitive in front on Pietro but her emotions got the better of her. She quickly wiped her face and choked out...
"I'm fine, just please go away."
"But Kitty..."
"Go away Pietro... please, just leave me alone," she said in nothing more than a whisper, her back now facing him.
Pietro hesitated a bit or rather a lot, he had to admit that he could sometimes be full of himself but he wasn't about to leave a girl alone in the park - even if it was Kitty Pryde, mutant or not. Besides it was getting dark and the park can be a really dangerous place.
Pietro looked at Kitty, how she seemed to be completely frozen in place. Her arms were laced tightly around her wet coat and she didn't move an inch, aside from a couple of sneezes, coughs and sniffles.
There was something endearing about her just then, almost cute, in a helpless, damsel in distress sort of way. He looked over at her backpack, which lay there with her wet papers spilled out all over. He walked over and picked them up and placed the bag on his shoulder. He looked at Kitty once more...
*This is way out of my character. You're lucky I'm such a nice guy Pryde.*
He sped over to her and placed his arms around her, she was as cold as a popsicle. Her felt her tense body relax in his arms and she slowly rested her head on his chest. He turned her around to face him, her big sapphire blue eyes looking up at him.
*Gosh she burning up, what have I done! Man, Lance was right, she really is beautiful. I wonder why I've never noticed it before.*
Kitty yawned sleepily and once again rested her head on his chest. Pietro had no idea what possessed him to it but he once again placed his arms around Kitty and tightened his grip as he felt her give into his warmth.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*
Author's Note: First of all, I couldn't make Pietro all bad after all Kitty has to fall in love with him doesn't she? She has to find something special about him anyways how was it? Be totally honest people - I can take it, at least I think so! On the other hand, lie; lie to make me feel good, even if it stinks! No matter what don't forget to REVIEW!
