Author's Note- I'm going to wrap everything up here. Sorry it took so long
everyone but finally it's done.
Another Note- I can do three accents, Cajun, southern, and English, sadly, I suck at Scottish and can't do Brazilian.
~*~
Lightspeed Suzuka- I know, bad author!
AngieX- Here's an update. See, I do love ya ;)
Kitty Pryde2- I remember how hectic that is, I'm happy you can find time to still read my stuff though.
Alicorn- I know, that's my biggest complaint, that I move too fast. Thanks for all the reviews, even the criticisms, I need that sometimes.
Caliente- Yeah, Pete is just a sweetie, and writing the new recruits is so much fun. Hope you like the end.

Afterward
~*~
Those little things you say
When words mean so much
You never back down
And they all shy away
You always listen to me
And what do I care to get me through these sleepless nights
And what do I have to hold when no one's there to hold me tight
And what do I see the only thing that gets me through this is I feel and I feel you

Early the next morning
Rahne sighed staring outside. She had been successful in avoiding Roberto all week. But now Hank was taking the new recruits on a trip. She was stuck all day around him. "Why the long face, fur-top?" Jubilee asked from behind her.
"Roberto," Rahne sighed.
"Still?" Jubilee asked. "Girl, look at him, he's as bummed as you are."
"Unless he's gonna come crawlin' back he can stay bummed," Rahne said crossing her arms. The van stopped.
"Come on everyone," Hank said getting out. Rahne sighed and grabbed her bag. They began their hike into the woods. Jubilee and Bobby were having their usual battle of fireworks and ice which ended up spilling Rahne backpack all over the ground.
"Sorry, Rahne!" Jubilee called. Rahne sighed in annoyance kneeling down to pick up her things. Someone extended her canteen to her. She looked up and blinked surprised when she saw Roberto kneeling beside her.
"Hi, Rahne," he said softly.
"Roberto," Rahne said coldly.
"I, um, wanted to talk to you."
"Yes?" she asked finishing putting everything back in her bag.
"I'm... I'm really sorry," he told her. "Everything I said... I was just stupid."
Rahne looked down. "No arguments here."
"But I *am* sorry."
"Do ye know how much what ye said hurt me?"
Roberto looked down. "No."
"At least you're honest."
"I don't know how much it hurt you, but I do know how much being without you hurt *me*. Is there anything I can say that will make it up to you?"
"Honestly? A donnae know."
"Let me know, fur-top," he said. "I miss you." He leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. Rahne touched her cheek with a small blush. He took her bag and slung it over his own shoulder.
"`Berto?" Rahne said quietly.
"Yeah?"
"Maybe... maybe we could try again?"
"It'd be my pleasure," he smiled taking her hand. (say it with me: awwe!)
At the Institute
"Ah got no sleep last night," Rogue complained
"Ja, me too," Kurt said. "I finally bamfed to the other side of the Institute."
"What are you two doing today?" Xavier asked wheeling in to grab the paper.
"Um... Ah'm meetin' with Remy," Rogue said.
"Be careful, Rogue," Xavier said.
Rogue nodded. "Ah will. Thanks, professor." He nodded and wheeled back out. Kitty and Pete walked in hand-in-hand. Rogue and Kurt exchanged glances before they began clapping. Pete merely raised an eyebrow leaving Kitty's side to get a cup of coffee.
Kitty sat down looking at her friends in confusion. "What?"
"Um, Kit, you do realize that the walls of the Institute are paper thin, don't you?" Rogue asked.
"Ohmigod!" Kitty exclaimed. "You could hear us?"
"Loud and clear, sugah," Rogue laughed.
Pete sat down completely unfazed by this news. "Wot's for breakfast?"
"Is food all you think about?" Kitty asked burying her head in her arms.
"Kit, luv, it's not a big deal," Pete said.
"Easy for you to say!"
"Ah'm sure we were the only ones ta hear," Rogue tried to tell her.
As if on cue, Logan walked in and looked at Pete. "Wisdom, may I speak to you?" Pete winced and stood following Logan outside.
"I have the strangest feeling that I'm, like, never going to see him again," Kitty said.
Outside
"You wanted t' see me, mate," Pete said not bothering to hide his nervousness.
"I know what happened last night," Logan said lighting up a cigar.
"Yeah?"
"You hurt half-pint and I'll remove something you might miss."
"Logan, I'm not gonna hurt her."
"I believe you, just reiterating. Last night may have just been sex to you but I know Kitty. It meant a hell of a lot to her."
"I know that," Pete said. "It wasn't exactly meanin'less t' me either. I love her." Pete looked down after admitting that.
Logan nodded, that had been what he was waiting for. "Take care of her." He put out his cigar and walked away. Pete walked inside. He sat back down next to Kitty who was now sitting alone.
"Good, you're alive," Kitty smiled. They ate the breakfast that now sat before them.
"I tol' Logan somethin' that I shouldn't have," Pete told her.
"What?" she asked cocking her head slightly to one side.
"I told him `at I loved you," Pete said looking into her eyes intently.
Kitty's face fell. "And you shouldn't have said that?"
"Nope." He reached out taking her hand in his own. "I should have told you first. I love you, Kitty Pryde." Her face lit up and she kissed him passionately.
"I love you too, Pete Wisdom," she murmured back. He smiled down at her before pulling her on his lap and kissing her again. He looked down at the girl in his arms and thought about how he had met her. Never in a million years did he think he would fall for this girl. He decided, as he looked down at her that he would never let her go.
"You know, it, like, makes me nervous when people stare at me like that," Kitty said.
Pete leered down at her. "If ya weren't so bloody beautiful-"
"Huh, who'd think that you could be charming?" she teased.
"Hey!" he cried out in a mock-indignant tone. She giggled kissing him again. He lifted her up into his arms.
"What are you doing?"
"Goin' back upstairs. We've got our energy back up." Kitty giggled cuddling closer.
