Wow, I'm having a great day!! Not only have I got loads of great reviews for just one chapter of this story, one of my stories on Elfwood got Mod's choice, hurrah! I'm so hyped up!

Review replies: (wow, I've never had much chance to do these before!)

Psychobunny410: The symbol things are all over the place lately, but I reloaded as a html document and they went, yey.

Polouchi: ty for the review m'dear, Kitty and Rogue is a possibility I've been entertaining, the whole no touch might be a relief for someone who's just been raped… Also, I did pick up a pen to scribble down the idea for this! So ha! …well…a pencil…

KS-fan: I'm planning on keeping Lance around, especially as he's determined to find out what's wrong, so don't worry.

Elfchik: thanks! Hmm…a kietro…interesting idea…

Princess: I know exactly what you mean, a fair few are too sudden, which is why (as I said to up there ^) a Rogue/Kitty fic might work better than anything else… also, you don't see many rogue/kitty fics out there…

Soul 141: Nope, sorry, but I don't like Lancitty that much, I don't think I could write it…

Georgia Peach: Sorry, no Kurtty this time… and I don't think it'll be X-men to the rescue, I have the beginnings of plans, now if I could just remember what they were… lol.

Also, to Nari, who sent me some suggestions via email (for which I'm actually glad, I'm gonna use some of them and this way no one knows what they are, hahahahaha) thank you so much yet again!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own X-men Evolution and the only thing I'm making money for is waitressing.

Also: I think this chapter may have a lot more swearing in then the last one, so if you don't like it be warned… of course it might not, I can't think of enough different swearwords to use that aren't profoundly British, so if the swearing is a bit repetitive I'm sorry.

Anyway, on with the story:

--Chapter two—

The X-men and Lance weren't the only people thoroughly confused by Kitty's sudden transformation, most of the school were talking about it for the rest of the day, and the topic was sure to stick around for at least another week.

The main thing that got everyone talking, however, was not the *very* different outfit, or the insistence on being called Kat, it was what happened in Kitty's math lesson, just after lunch (which, for Kitty, had been filled with annoying questions). It had started out a perfectly normal lesson, until the teacher came to collect in the homework, set two days before. Now, Kitty hadn't done it the day it was set, fully expecting to have the following night to do it before it needed handing in. But of course she had spent the majority of her time after school either unconscious or in the shower, and she couldn't explain that to the teacher.

This was the first piece of homework Kitty had ever not done in time, and this teacher, Miss Jenson, was notoriously hard on anybody who hadn't done their homework, no matter what the circumstances, unless they'd asked for an extension the day it was given. This was enough to get some people talking, but what happened next was truly out of character for Kitty.

"Where is your homework, Miss Pryde?" The teacher asked as she reached Kitty, several heads turned to stare, to see what she would do.

"Haven't done it." Kitty replied apathetically, causing a few raised eyebrows and mutterings among the other students.

"And why not?" Miss Jenson demanded, looking annoyed.

Kitty smirked "Didn't feel like it/didn't have the time/didn't know what to do, take your pick, not like you care what the reason was anyway." This caused even more raised eyebrows and shocked whisperings, few people had stood up to Miss Jenson before, and Kitty was the last they'd think would do it.

"I don't appreciate your tone young lady, answer me, why did you not do your homework?" She demanded again with an annoying superior look.

'I should tell her the real reason' Kitty thought 'That'd wipe that look right off her face.'

When Kitty didn't answer, but instead got a faraway, despairing look in her eyes, Miss Jenson frowned "Are you alright Katherine?"

Kitty snapped out of it "Kat. And yea, I'm fine." She said angrily.

"I'm still waiting for an explanation for your missing homework."

"Look, I haven't fucking done it and I'm not telling you why, so shut the hell up about it." Kitty yelled, instantly bringing the class to silence, all eyes fixed on her. The anger at everything that'd happened, and anything that had ever happened to her before, had all been building up, until she decided she couldn't care less what anyone thought of her anymore, and the more confident she became, the less chance there was of a repeat of the night before, of that she was sure.

"Detention, Miss Pryde, every night next week," Miss Jenson replied coolly and moved onto the next student.

Kitty walked through the door at the institute and was met by a yell of "Kitty, get in here." She looked round to see Logan stood at the door to the professor's office, looking furious.

Sighing, she walked over and into the office, saying "What?" in a bored tone as soon as she entered.

"Don't talk to us like that Kitty, you know perfectly well what. Logan snarled, to be met only by a snapped "Kat."

"Logan, please, calm yourself. I'm sure Kitty has an explanation for her behaviour." The professor said in a soothing voice, turning his attention to Kitty expectantly.

"It's. Kat." She hissed from between her teeth, then took a deep breath "Professor, you can't expect me to be Miss Goody-two-shoes for the rest of my life, I've just decided on a change alright?"

The professor nodded, but Logan stepped forward again "No it's not alright, not when you change like this, so much so sudden, something's up with you Kitty."

Kitty maintained a scowl even with another worried look in her eyes, which didn't go unnoticed by the two adults.

"Kitty? Is there something you wish to tell us? You can always talk with us you know." The professor said gently, wondering what it was that could bring about such a huge change in the girl.

"It's nothing, right? Can I go now?" Kitts asked, her tone bored again, the professor nodded and both he and Logan watched Kitty stomp off to her room.

"Something is definitely wrong Charles." Said Logan. "I can't swear to it since she'd had a shower and it was the night before, but this morning when she went to school I thought she smelt of sex…"

"We can't interfere with Kitty's…romantic endeavours, Logan, if that is the issue. But you are correct, something is wrong…"

"I wasn't referring to romance Charles, she flinched away when I went to put my hand on her shoulder, I think something happened to Kitty yesterday…"

"Hmm…this is only speculation though, we cannot be sure until Kitty comes to talk to us, until then perhaps we ought to keep an eye on her…"

Logan nodded and left the room, trying to remember the scent he caught this morning, it might not have been Kitty, and it was very faint…but still…

Entering the common room, he noticed Kitty hadn't gone to her room and was engaged in a tickle-war with Kurt, raising an eyebrow slightly, he thinks maybe he was wrong, and tells Xavier that, via telepathic communication.

If he'd thought about it, he may have realised that teen-sized furry three-fingered hands feel a lot different to large, strong, adult hands, and therefore a tickle war with Kurt wouldn't worry her so much.

Later that night, as she climbed into bed after a third longer-than-normal shower, she reflected that the new look was a success, no chance of anything like that happening again. Even the people at school who usually picked on her hadn't today, although that might have been out of shock from seeing the new her. Plus, she was making friends with Rogue quicker than she'd ever done before; this was definitely a good decision, if only she'd thought of it before…

Some parts of that chapter didn't quite seem right to me, but I dunno…. If you think any bits need work don't hesitate to let me know (but do it in a nice way please! Lol).

Secondly, I have most of the chapters from now on pretty much planned out, including the pairing, I won't tell you just yet though, but you might guess by the time it appears, even if it won't be till the last chapter.

If you have any ideas though, still tell me 'em, I only have a rough outline written down.

Please review!! I got loads of reviews for the first chapter and was really pleased, so I'll be equally pleased to get lots and lots of reviews for this! Hehehehe.

NOTE! I apologise for the shortness of this chapter, I think it's even shorter than my usual, so sorry.
