~*~*~*~Chapter 3 *~*~*~*~*~
Kitty went down the stairs knowing the Professor would be in the rec room. He always was at this time of day, watching the news or something. Shrugging to herself she made her way into the rec room, where she saw the Professor sitting in his wheelchair a look of deep thought on his face. " Um, Professor?" Kitty said quietly as she walked over to where he was. Smiling softly she crossed her arms. "Like, I was just wondering if I could go out for a little bit with um, Lance Alvers..." She said in a hopeful tone. She knew the professor already knew about her wanting to ask because of his telepathy but she still knew she should ask completely.
Charles Xavier looked at the young valley girl, a small smile on his face. This was a great idea for her to go out with a brotherhood boy. It could possibly bring the two different groups together. He also knew that Lance's feelings for Kitty were very sincere. Nodding his head he spoke in an authoritative way. " Of course Kitty. Go ahead and go with Mr. Alvers, I'm sure everything will be fine. Just remember to keep your guard up in case anything was to happen."
Kitty looked up at Xavier in shock and then nodded quickly. "Thanks Professor! I'll totally be careful!" She smiled widely at him before running out of the room towards hers. ((This'll be totally interesting.)) She thought to herself as she got ready. She knew Lance would come to pick her up, all she hoped was that Pietro didn't come along to get the jeep from Lance.
~
Pietro drummed his fingers quickly as he leaned on the railing of the staircase, waiting for Lance to come down. His blue eyes scanned the room as he kept drumming rather quickly. " Lance!!! Hurry up won't you!? It's already 5:30! I got ready in less than 2 minutes and here-you-are-taking- your-sweet-old-time-making-sure-your-perfect-well-sorry-to-say-----wait-no- I'm-not-what-am-I-saying?!!!" He yelled quickly, half of the whole sentence completely engulfed within the other words.
Todd poked his head out of the living room and raised an eyebrow. " Wha's goin' on, yo?" He asked, his accent fully apparent. Pietro looked over at Todd a rather bored look on his face. " Lancey-boy over here is taking forever and---" Pietro didn't finish his sentence as Lance came walking down the stairs, his hair brushed and a decent smelling cologne on. "Lookin' good Lancey! Now, let's get movin' before I leave without you!" Pietro snapped as he zoomed into the living room and gave small thumbs up to Fred and Todd, which were watching t.v. " Later! I'm off to have my dates which you two will never have!" He said rather cooly, as Lance was about to say something sarcastic. Todd and Fred looked at him with a shake of their heads knowing all to well that Pietro always went out with the cheerleaders. Pietro zoomed out of the boarding house, jumping inside the truck. Lance came out a minute later and started the jeep with ease.
"Pietro, you better not ruin my date. If you do, I'll wring your---"
" Relax Lance! Sheesh, Kitty-cat isn't my type anyways! I mean, come on! Valley girl, I'm so like totally cute and can you like totally say that that outfit so clashes with her eyes!" Pietro mimicked Kitty and grinned when he was received with a death glare. "Did you happen to ask Kitty what she wants?" Pietro perked up, remembering the lame project.
"Sounds like you got all that down Pietro, been getting lessons?" Lance said with a smirk before he heard Pietros question. No, Pietro... I didn't. And your not saying a word when I pick her up either!" Lance said, his hands clenched on the steering wheel as they turned the corner, coming towards the mansion.
"Fine! Don't have to be such a grouch..." Pietro grinned as he chose to ignore Lances comment about lessons. He leaned back on the seat, looking straight ahead at the mansion. "Why is it that the X-geeks get to live in a place like that, when we get stuck with a place like the boarding house!?"
Lance looked straight ahead at the mansion and grimaced. He knew Pietro was right about them getting stuck with a place like the boarding house. But, in the same thought he knew that it was half their fault the Brotherhood Mansion looked like that. "Because they have no one as annoying as you are at that place.." Lance mumbled under his breath as he stopped the car right out in front of the gates.
Pietro yet again ignored his comment and grinned wider as Lance stopped the car. Standing up, he jumped out of the car and did a halfhearted wave at Lance before running up the wall using his powers. Running up to the front door he stopped a few inches short of the door and smoothed his clothes out. He HAD to ask Pryde what she wanted, so why not 'escort' her to Lance's jeep? Pietro looked in back of him quickly seeing Lance yelling words that he couldn't here.but he knew weren't to good.
Knocking on the door in a quick fashion, Pietro ran a hand through his silver hair in case one of the other girls answered. Even if they were X- Geeks he still had to look good for them. even though he ALWAYS looked good. Grinning as the door opened he looked down to see Rogue's green eyes narrowed. " Wha' are yah doing here Maximoff?" Rogue opened the door all the way as she crossed her gloved hands together.
Pietro's grin quickly dropped as he saw Rogue. He had been hoping for one of the younger girls. he would've had more fun with Tabitha or even Amara. "Hiya Rogue, how are you?" He said in gentlemen type tone as he let himself in by stepping to the side of her quickly.
Rogue sighed as she let the speester enter the house. She knew he was here because of Kitty or something because of Kitty's sudden outburst earlier that day about Maximoff. Rogue rolled her eyes as she nodded her head. " Ah'm doing find Pietro. Now, care ta explain why you're here?" Rogue said in a questionable tone.
Pietro shook his head quickly and looked over towards the staircase with a smirk as he saw Kitty staring at him with a shocked expression her normally put up hair, down and her usual pink outfit now black pants and a red top. "Actually Rogue, I can't. cause I have dates to get to and the lil' Kitten here has to get going as well.Right Kitty-cat?" Pietro said as he walked over to Kitty who was at the bottom of stairs still in shock that Pietro of all people was here instead of who she thought would've come. Her worst nightmare had begun. "Uh.." She said as she looked from Rogue to Pietro not sure of her answer.
Pietro smirked inwardly as he wrapped an arm around Kitty's small waist and started leading her to the front door. " Now, now Kitten. you should've told Rogue about.." He leaned into her as he glanced over at Rogue. " our little date.." Pietro said in a high whisper then quickly stood up straight again, continuing to the door.
Kitty's blue eyes widened as she stopped dead in her tracks which made him stop as well. Rogue on the other hand made her way over to them her hands up in a sort of 'time out' way. "Whoa, whoa.. Kitty, your not serious about this right?? He's gotta be playin' around!" Rogue said in a shocked tone. Kitty looked at her, her eyes narrowed as she glared over at Pietro who had stopped right in front of her, a twisted smirk on his face. "Never! Jeez, you actually think I'd go somewhere with Pietro!? UGH!" She said as she threw her arms up in the air and headed towards the door, phasing her way out, leaving both Pietro and Rogue in the front lobby one angry the other still shocked.
Pietro glanced down at Rogue before shrugging and running out of the house . Rogue sighed deeply and placed a hand on her pale head. "Ah think ah need some aspirin or something.." She mumbled as she headed into the kitchen.
"Hey! Come on now Kitty-cat! You know that was for fun! Your not actually mad at me are you??" Pietro said as she stopped right in front of Kitty making her bump into him. "Oooh! Pietro your such a-such a. menace!" She said as she walked around him her blue eyes still narrowed as she saw Lance in the drivers side of the jeep his head on the steering wheel. It looked like he was pounding his head on the steering wheel at that.
"A menace?? Is that the best you could come up with Kitty-cat?" Pietro said as he watched Lance look upwards his eyes right on Kitty. "Kitty!" Lance said as he jumped out of the jeep and glared over at Pietro. "Maximoff, what'd you do?!" Avalanche said in an angry tone as he looked down at his 'precious kitty'.
"Nothing Alvers, Kitten over here can't take a joke!" He said as he crossed his arms and walked over to the jeep without another word.
Kitty looked up and glared at Pietro's back before looking at Lance with a small smile. "It's ok Lance, I'm fine. Pietro's just a jerk." Kitty shrugged as a grin spread on her face.
Lance looked at the two his eyebrows raised in confusement. "Uh..alright." He said as he led Kitty over to the jeep, then went over to the drivers side getting in. Kitty stopped at the door and looked at Lance.
Pietro watched from the back seat, completely amazed at Lance's lack of gentlemen-ship. Grinning as Kitty looked at Lance, Pietro jumped out of the jeep. "Jeez Lance! Even YOU should know how to act like a gentlemen!" He said, then opened the passengers door and motioned for Kitty to get in.
Kitty stopped and looked at Pietro in shock. Her blue eyes were wide in amazement. ((Whoa, that's like a total shocker!)) She thought to herself as she sat in the jeep quietly. "Thanks Pietro.." She mumbled under her breath then crossed her arms.
Lance looked at Kitty and mentally kicked himself as hard as he could for letting Pietro have his small 'glory' moment. "Uhh, so where do you want to go, Kitty?" Lance said quietly as Pietro hopped back into the back seat a smug look on his perfect to perfection face.
Kitty shrugged then looked into the rear side mirror seeing Pietro hitting himself on the head lightly with his hand. Obviously the boy was impatient or was about to explode on Lance about something. Glancing over at Lance who seemed to not care about what the speedster was doing in the backseat. "Like.anywhere is fine with me Lance." She said in a small perky way.
Lance only nodded as he started the car and slowly set off towards an unknown destination. He hadn't really thought of where to go with Kitty. to be honest, Lance didn't even think she was going to say 'yes' to him. But she had. Looking in the rear view mirror Lance caught Pietro's eye and sighed as the speed demon smirked and made a kissy face towards him then motioned towards Kitty.
How he loved making fun of 'soon-to-be-couples' that he knew wouldn't ever work. Pietro knew Kitty was to good for Lance. Kitty was to good for himself as well and he knew it. That's why he loved to tease both of them.
~
Looking up from his quick case of boredom that had been brought on by Lance's lack of speech towards Kitty he smirked as he watched the small hut like place come into view. He hadn't noticed it at first but they had come to the mall. Which was exactly where Pietro was suppose to be for his 3 dates he had tonight. Looking again over at the 'hut' he sighed as Lance parked the car.
He leaned into the two front seats and read the sign. "Tiki's Ice Cream Hut.." Pietro raised an eyebrow and tried to contain a smirk that was trying to get through.
He scanned the area and saw little kids running around, ice cream all over their faces. The parents trying to carry on a conversation with others but at the same time yelling at their children. Glancing over at Kitty whose face had dropped when he had read the name looked like she was going to kick something. Patting Lance on the back he then jumped out of the car on Kitty's side and smirked. " You two have fun at.." He mimicked the little tiki man that was on the name board. He was holding up an ice cream cone with a big smile on his face. " Tiki's Ice Cream Hut." Pietro laughed as he walked away towards the entrance of the mall, his smirk still on his face.
~
Lance looked at Pietro with another death glare before the speed demon left. He then let his gaze slowly go to Kitty who was still gazing at the name of the sign not even paying attention to Pietro. " Kitty?" Lance said quickly his brown eyes curious at what she was thinking. Sure, this was a place he would NEVER go by himself.but Lance thought that Kitty might have.so why not try going somewhere she might've known? But it was obvious by Kitty's looked that hadn't ever come here before.
Kitty's blue eyes slowly went over to Lance's her face quickly turning upright into a small smile. " Yeah Lance?"
"Is this place alright? I mean I didn't really know where to go so I just kinda guessed where you wanted to go.." He mumbled as he scrathched the back of his neck in a nervous way.
Kitty didn't say anything for a moment and glanced back over at the hut. It hadn't been one of the many places she had thought about going to as a first date but it seemed like Lance didn't know her that well. "Yeah.this is um..fine Lance. I mean it wasn't where I was expecting to go you know? But, like this is totally fine with me.." She said then shrugged.
Lance scanned the area and sighed inwardly. He hated little kids.and being here with a whole bunch of them wasn't his idea of a grand time. But.he liked Kitty; a lot. So, he would put up with them for her. "Alright." He said as he got out of the jeep and walked around, then stopped at the front of the truck waiting for her to get out, totally forgetting about what had happened when he had picked her up. Kitty looked at him for a moment then shook her head mumbling different words under her breath so that he couldn't hear her. Getting out of the jeep she walked past him towards the entrance of the hut.
((This is so not the place I was thinking of! Ugh, what is he thinking, I'm a small child??)) Kitty thought to herself as she stopped at the door and waited for Lance to move forward not exactly knowing what to do or where to go. Smiling softly though, she made herself seem like she was having a good time.
Lance looked down at her as he came through the door. She had a smile on her face, so he thought she was having a good time. That was good for her. in a way bad for him. He sighed inwardly and rubbed the back of his neck as he motioned towards the counter where a big man with a lei around his neck and wrist was standing a wide toothy grin on his face.
Kitty followed Lance quietly at first then ran a hand through her brown hair as they stopped at the counter.
"Welcome to Tiki's Ice Cream Hut! What would you like to eat at our hut?" The man with the lei's said happily looking back and forth between Kitty and Lance.
Lance scanned the menu then looked down at Kitty who looked up at him with a small smile before turning to the cashier. " I'll have a small bowl of strawberry vanilla, please." Lance nodded his head and shrugged. " I'll have a chocolate cone." He said with a small roll of his eyes making sure Kitty wasn't able to see him. He really didn't want to be here.
"Certaintly!" The cashier said as he jotted down the order then told Lance how much it would be. Lance slowly pulled out his tattered black wallet and brought the money out. Turning to face the many small kids after getting his change he looked around for Kitty who had left his side. Seeing her at a corner table near the window he quickly made his way towards her.
"Kitty? Are you alright, I mean. you seem kind of down or something?" Lance said quietly as he took a seat across from her, examining her face.
The valley-girl looked over at Lance with a smile and shook her head slowly. "Nothing is wrong at all Lance.This is a rather interesting place to go to, but it seems nice.." Kitty said as she looked around, then looked back out of the window towards the mall. She would've sworn she had seen a blur of silver color go around the parking lot a few hundred times.
"Oh..well, I thought you might like it. I mean, you seem like the type of girl who would like a place like this." Lance scratched his neck as he leaned back on the stool that had straw strings hanging from the bottoms.
"No worries Lance.we'll have fun!" She said, trying to lighten the mood, and hers. Lance smiled at her before turning his attention on the man that had been behind the counter before. He had come with Lance's cone and Kitty's bowl of ice cream. " Here ya two youngsters go, eat up!" The man said, then handed the items to them.
Lance nodded as Kitty thanked the man. Looking down at her small bowl of ice cream she started to swirl the spoon slowly. "So, Lance.like." She really didn't know what to say. She had never been around him for a long period of time, meaning just the two of them.
Looking up, feeling slightly uncomfortable he noticed how uncomfortable she looked. "Yeah.so, you hear about that dance that's coming up after winter break?" Lance grinned trying to lighten the mood.
"Yeah, like isn't called the Sadie Hawkins Dance?" Kitty said as she took another small bite of her ice cream trying to ignore the many screams and giggles that were being heard outside. Lance nodded and looked outside the window not able to stand the constant giggling of the loud children. "What's going on out there??" He said as he stood up.
Kitty looked up, finished with her bowl of ice cream. "Huh? Oh those kids? Probably some clown or something y'know? This is kind of a childs place." Kitty made herself stop, not wanting Lance to get mad at her comment about 'childs place'.
Glancing down at her with a sigh he looked around outside then saw what was going on outside. Narrowing his eyes he continued to watch the small group around the smirking person.
"Who is it Lance?" Kitty said as she stood up, walked over to the trash can near the door and dumped her bowl into the garbage. Glancing out the window she stopped in her tracks and grinned as Lance came over to her, keeping his eyes on the figure.
Outside you could hear little girls giggling and yelling out some words.
"You're here today!"
"Where've you been, I've missed you!"
"Yay!! Your back!"
"Pietro!!"
Kitty opened the door as she heard the last girl call out. Lance walked behind her a smirk now plastered on his face. It seemed like Mr.Popularity has come here before and it seemed, to Lance, that he came here often.
Pietro kneeled down and hugged the small girls a small smile on his face. " Hey girls." He said softly to them as he stood up again and looked towards the door where Kitty and Lance stood. " Have fun you two?" Pietro said as he crossed his arms acting like nothing unusual was going on.
Kitty wrapped her arms around her stomach trying to hold in her laughter. Pietro Maximoff actually hung around here! Looking up at Lance letting a smile form on her face. This was going to be great. Kitty walked towards Pietro and the group slowly smiling softly at the girls who smiled widely at her.
Lance walked slowly towards Pietro and his group of small childrens, stopping a few feet away from Kitty. Scanning the crowd he noticed they were all girls. " Oh we just had a ball Pietro, but it seems you have had lots more fun." He motioned towards the small girls who glared up at him making him feel like they were going to bite his arm off if he came closer to Pietro. "Having fun playing dolls with the girls Pietro?" Lance grinned widely knowing or at least hoping that he had finally gotten Pietro on something.

So, he would put up with them for her. "Alright." He said as he got out of the jeep and walked around, then stopped at the front of the truck waiting for her to get out, totally forgetting about what had happened when he had picked her up. Kitty looked at him for a moment then shook her head mumbling different words under her breath so that he couldn't hear her. Getting out of the jeep she walked past him towards the entrance of the hut.
((This is so not the place I was thinking of! Ugh, what is he thinking, I'm a small child??)) Kitty thought to herself as she stopped at the door and waited for Lance to move forward not exactly knowing what to do or where to go. Smiling softly though, she made herself seem like she was having a good time.
Lance looked down at her as he came through the door. She had a smile on her face, so he thought she was having a good time. That was good for her. in a way bad for him. He sighed inwardly and rubbed the back of his neck as he motioned towards the counter where a big man with a lei around his neck and wrist was standing a wide toothy grin on his face.
Kitty followed Lance quietly at first then ran a hand through her brown hair as they stopped at the counter.
"Welcome to Tiki's Ice Cream Hut! What would you like to eat at our hut?" The man with the lei's said happily looking back and forth between Kitty and Lance.
Lance scanned the menu then looked down at Kitty who looked up at him with a small smile before turning to the cashier. " I'll have a small bowl of strawberry vanilla, please." Lance nodded his head and shrugged. " I'll have a chocolate cone." He said with a small roll of his eyes making sure Kitty wasn't able to see him. He really didn't want to be here.
"Certaintly!" The cashier said as he jotted down the order then told Lance how much it would be. Lance slowly pulled out his tattered black wallet and brought the money out. Turning to face the many small kids after getting his change he looked around for Kitty who had left his side. Seeing her at a corner table near the window he quickly made his way towards her.
"Kitty? Are you alright, I mean. you seem kind of down or something?" Lance said quietly as he took a seat across from her, examining her face.
The valley-girl looked over at Lance with a smile and shook her head slowly. "Nothing is wrong at all Lance.This is a rather interesting place to go to, but it seems nice.." Kitty said as she looked around, then looked back out of the window towards the mall. She would've sworn she had seen a blur of silver color go around the parking lot a few hundred times.
"Oh..well, I thought you might like it. I mean, you seem like the type of girl who would like a place like this." Lance scratched his neck as he leaned back on the stool that had straw strings hanging from the bottoms.
"No worries Lance.we'll have fun!" She said, trying to lighten the mood, and hers. Lance smiled at her before turning his attention on the man that had been behind the counter before. He had come with Lance's cone and Kitty's bowl of ice cream. " Here ya two youngsters go, eat up!" The man said, then handed the items to them.
Lance nodded as Kitty thanked the man. Looking down at her small bowl of ice cream she started to swirl the spoon slowly. "So, Lance.like." She really didn't know what to say. She had never been around him for a long period of time, meaning just the two of them.
Looking up, feeling slightly uncomfortable he noticed how uncomfortable she looked. "Yeah.so, you hear about that dance that's coming up after winter break?" Lance grinned trying to lighten the mood.
"Yeah, like isn't called the Sadie Hawkins Dance?" Kitty said as she took another small bite of her ice cream trying to ignore the many screams and giggles that were being heard outside. Lance nodded and looked outside the window not able to stand the constant giggling of the loud children. "What's going on out there??" He said as he stood up.
Kitty looked up, finished with her bowl of ice cream. "Huh? Oh those kids? Probably some clown or something y'know? This is kind of a childs place." Kitty made herself stop, not wanting Lance to get mad at her comment about 'childs place'.
Glancing down at her with a sigh he looked around outside then saw what was going on outside. Narrowing his eyes he continued to watch the small group around the smirking person.
"Who is it Lance?" Kitty said as she stood up, walked over to the trash can near the door and dumped her bowl into the garbage. Glancing out the window she stopped in her tracks and grinned as Lance came over to her, keeping his eyes on the figure.
Outside you could hear little girls giggling and yelling out some words.
"You're here today!"
"Where've you been, I've missed you!"
"Yay!! Your back!"
"Pietro!!"
Kitty opened the door as she heard the last girl call out. Lance walked behind her a smirk now plastered on his face. It seemed like Mr.Popularity has come here before and it seemed, to Lance, that he came here often.
Pietro kneeled down and hugged the small girls a small smile on his face. " Hey girls." He said softly to them as he stood up again and looked towards the door where Kitty and Lance stood. " Have fun you two?" Pietro said as he crossed his arms acting like nothing unusual was going on.
Kitty wrapped her arms around her stomach trying to hold in her laughter. Pietro Maximoff actually hung around here! Looking up at Lance letting a smile form on her face. This was going to be great. Kitty walked towards Pietro and the group slowly smiling softly at the girls who smiled widely at her.
Lance walked slowly towards Pietro and his group of small childrens, stopping a few feet away from Kitty. Scanning the crowd he noticed they were all girls. " Oh we just had a ball Pietro, but it seems you have had lots more fun." He motioned towards the small girls who glared up at him making him feel like they were going to bite his arm off if he came closer to Pietro. "Having fun playing dolls with the girls Pietro?" Lance grinned widely knowing or at least hoping that he had finally gotten Pietro on something.
