Morning After and Home
~*~
Like any uncharted territory
I must seem greatly intriguing
You speak of my love like
You have experienced love like mine before
But this is not allowed
You're uninvited

Kitty woke up feeling ill. She stumbled out of bed, luckily for the owner of the room the bathroom was adjacent, so Kitty ran into it getting sick. After being ill her head began pounding. She looked around taking in the mess. Frowning in confusion she stood walking into the next room, the kitchen. Pete was sitting at the kitchen table drinking a cup of coffee. "Morning," he smiled.
"What time is it?"
"Twelve," he announced. "So technically it's afternoon."
"What am I doing here?" Kitty asked as Pete passed her a cup of coffee and three aspirins.
"You confessed you undying love for me so we went back to me flat and had a long passionate night together," he told her looking completely serious.
"What?!"
He grinned. "Just kidding, Pryde. You were so pissed last night ya forgot where ya lived."
She flushed warmly. "Oh. So what did happen?"
"We came back here and you slept in my bed," Pete shrugged. "I `ad t' sleep on the bloody couch, bed stealin' toerag."
Kitty ignored that insult. "Thank you."
"Well, do you want a ride home?"
"Yes, please," she said softly. He stood and they walked out to his car. "I didn't do anything embarrassing, did I?"
"No, just insult me at every turn."
"Hmm... so the normal things." She gave him directions and he pulled up to the apartment building.
"Very nice."
"Should be, Mags is paying for it."
"Please tell me he isn't a boyfriend."
Kitty giggled at that. "He's, like, totally old! No, I have the other four guys."
"Four?"
"Pietro, John, Piotr, and Remy."
"They are?"
"Four of my closest friends. Hell, four of my only friends."
"No birds in yer group?"
"Well, Rogue but-" she stopped herself.
"I thought she was dead."
"Damn."
"Don't worry, Pryde. I won't tell anyone."
"So says the man who knows about almost every detail of my life." She opened the car door turning back to kiss him on the cheek. "Thanks for the ride, and being sort of civil."
"Anytime, and I'll see you Friday." Kitty nodded and got out walking into the building.
Friday
Kitty sat down in her window seat pulling out her laptop. She started it and waiting for someone she knew to get on.
"`Allo, luv," a man said. She looked up seeing John. "Looks like we're sittin' t'gether."
"Lucky me," Kitty said.
"My thoughts exactly," he said sitting next to her.
She finally got an alert. "Fireisgod has come online."
~*~
ShadowKitty: I'm very worried about you.
Fireisgod: why's that Sheila?
ShadowKitty: those login names, you need help.
Fireisgod: you're not much better. Hang on, Remy wants to talk to ya.

"Where are you heading?" John asked. Kitty looked at him.
"Bayville," she responded. "Where's Pete?" As if on cue Pete got on sitting behind them. "Never mind. Where are you guys heading?"
"The same," John said.
"See, Pryde?" Pete asked. "It's fate." Kitty merely rolled her eyes.

Swamprat: Salut, petite chat.
ShadowKitty: hey, Remy.
Swamprat: when is your flight in?
ShadowKitty: ten. So, how's Rogue?
Swamprat: Ca femme adores Remy.
ShadowKitty: Right.
Swamprat: don't you believe Remy?
ShadowKitty: Even on the computer you speak in the third person.
Swamprat: mais oui! Remy wouldn't talk any other way.
ShadowKitty: you can't see it but I'm rolling my eyes.
Swamprat: maybe la chat can find her own way home.
ShadowKitty: ... um... luv you...?
Swamprat: that's better. Remy has to go, Rogue wants to talk to you.

Kitty was brought back to herself at the argument between the two men. "Would you two shut up?" she requested. "I'm trying to think."
"You mean you can do that?" Pete asked feigning surprise.
"Listen here you miserable old git-"
"Can I get you anything?" the stewardess asked approaching. Kitty sighed returning her attention to her computer. DeRogue has signed in.

ShadowKitty: Rogue!
DeRogue: hey, sugar, how's it going?
ShadowKitty: boy, do I have stories to tell you.
DeRogue: I know, it's been weeks since we talked. So, how does it
feel to be an adult?
ShadowKitty: I don't know why everyone keeps asking that. It's not
like I'd turn eighteen and suddenly sprout horns or something.
DeRogue: Kit, we were X-Men, that's not a phrase ya want to say.
ShadowKitty: lol, guess you're right.
DeRogue: well, tell me, any guys in your life?
ShadowKitty: None that I want.
DeRogue: what's that mean?
ShadowKitty: well, remember that annoying guy from the plane that I
was telling you about?
DeRogue: Very vaguely.
ShadowKitty: for my 18th birthday one of my friends took me out
drinking. Guess who was there?
DeRogue: plane boy?
ShadowKitty: plane boy. So, he comes over and we talk, I get
plastered. Next thing I know I'm waking up in his bed.
DeRogue WHAT????!!!!!
ShadowKitty: chill, nothing happened. He tried to give me a ride home
and I was to drunk to remember where I lived.
DeRogue: good I'd hate to have to kill a guy I've never met.
ShadowKitty: there's more.
DeRogue: what else?
ShadowKitty: he and one of his friends are also coming to Bayville on
some sort of business. Ironic.
DeRogue: Nah, I think fate's trying to tell you something ;)
ShadowKitty: Not funny. Well, I'm gonna catch some z's before we
land.
DeRogue: See you at the airport.
ShadowKitty: Byes.
ShadowKitty has signed off.

Kitty yawned leaning back in her seat and dozing off. "She's cute when she's not talking," Pete observed. John looked at his friend with a smirk and a raised eyebrow. "What?"
"You really like her."
"Yer daft."
John rolled his eyes. "Sure, mate." Kitty slept through the rest of the flight. She woke up feeling someone touching her leg. Out of instinct she lashed out but the person grabbed her arm.
"Do you just enjoy tryin' t' inure me?" She looked up seeing Pete's dark blue eyes and relaxed.
"What do you want?"
"Just t' let you know that we're about to land."
"Where's your friend?"
"We switched spots," Pete said. A few minutes later they landed. The three walked out getting their bags.
