The Morning After
Kitty awoke as a beam of sunlight hit her face. It was bright.
Blinking, she sat up.
'Where am I?' she wondered as she looked around. Her eyes landed on the
'Go Bayville!'
sign on the wall. 'Oh yeah,' she remembered. 'The school gym. And...Pietro?!' Glancing down, she saw him, still sleeping, on the mat. Kitty giggled. He looked adorable. His hair was messy, his shirt was all twisted up around his neck, and the sunlight was hitting him at the perfect angle. Sighing happily, she remembered the events of the previous night.
A beam of even brighter sunlight seemed to be permanently glaring in Kitty's face. 'Odd,' she thought. She got up and wandered out into the hallway so she could look out a window. What she saw took her breath away. All thoughts of something strange happening vanished. Snow blanketed the school, about a foot of it. The intensely bright sunlight glittered off of it fiercely. In fact, the whole court hard seemed to be sparkling. And the sky was a cloudless deep blue. It was too inviting to resist.
Kitty ran back into the gym and put a CD into the karyoke machine. She dragged the machine as close to the door as she could get it, and turned up the volume as far as it would go. As soon as the music started, Kitty ran outside.
love ,love,love,love,love

The whole time that song was playing, Kitty was dancing around the courtyard. She felt so filled with joy and love that she had to find some way to express it to the world. So, for a frenzied 3 minutes, she was running all over the place making snow angels, jumping up and down, and just enjoying the feeling of being alive.
Meanwhile, Pietro had still been asleep inside the gym. He was, however, immediately woken up by the LOUD sound of pop music coming from somewhere near the door. Groaning, he stumbled over there. "What the..?" he muttered when he saw the karyoke machine and the door flung wide open. He was about to beat the hell out of the stupid machine when he saw Kitty outside. She was lying in a huge mound of snow, staring up at the sky, and giggling insanely. Pietro stared in shock. 'Is she on crack? It's fricken' freezing outside!' Behind him, the karyoke machine started to play another song. This one was a fast-paced dance number. Kitty leaped up and started dancing around the courtyard.
"What are you doing?!?!?!" Pietro yelled out to her.
Kitty squealed and ran over to him. "Come on! It's gorgeous out!" She dragged him outside and literally threw him into a pile of snow.
Pietro lay there in complete disbelief. Kitty had just picked him up and thrown him into a giant snow hill. he could hear her laughing from somewhere off to the right. Sitting up, he sputtered, "What is going on?"
Kitty twirled around. Life Pietro. Life is going on. Isn't it just fabulous?"
Pietro was incredulous. He had never seen her like this before. "You have lost it Kitty. You have totally lost it."
Kitty grinned at him. "No, I've found it. I've finally found it."
Pietro raised an eyebrow. "Found what?"
"Love. Happiness. The perfect guy for me. A whole bunch of wonderful things."
Pietro smiled then. "Well, he must be one great guy to be worthy of you."
"Oh he is," Kitty giggled.
He smirked at her. "Devastatingly handsome too I'll bet. Not to mention intelligent, witty, practically perfe-"
He was cut off by a snowball that Kitty threw at him. It just happened to land on his face. Wiping snow out of his eyes, Pietro looked down at her. "That's it. You are dead!"
He jumped up and started chasing Kitty around the courtyard. It really wasn't much of a chase, as Pietro's super speed allowed him to catch her in a matter of seconds. Pinning her down in the snow, he dumped a snowball on her face.
"Pietro!!" she squealed. Snow was melting on her face, clinging to her hair and eyelashes. To Pietro, she had never looked more beautiful.
Her eyes alight with mirth, she smirked up at him. "Actually, that guy I mentioned? He's really more of an egotistical, in-love-with-himself, physc- "
This time it was she who was cut off. Pietro's lips had landed on hers in the most pleasing way possible. Kitty's mind whirled with the perfection of the moment. The two of them, all tangled up in the snow, breathless from laughing, just enjoying what they had. It was sheer bliss.
"Alright you two. Break it up!" called a very familiar southern voice. Kitty phased through Pietro, causing him to sink rather quickly face first into the snow. She looked over at the sidewalk. Rogue and Jean stood there, trying not to laugh. They began applauding, and Kitty blushed bright red.
"W-What are you two doing here?" she asked, trying to regain her composure.
Rogue smirked at her. "We're here ta get the two of ya before anyone gets suspicious."
Kitty was confused. "What are you talking about?" Pietro picked that moment to sit back up and put his arm possessively around her.
Jean smiled. "Well, looks like our plan worked Rogue!" Rogue nodded and the two of them started laughing again.
"What plan?!?!?" shrieked Kitty.
Rogue managed to stop laughing long enough to fill Kitty in. "Well, Ah saw the way ya were tryin' so hard not ta like Speedy over there. And Ah also saw the way he kept starin' longingly at ya in school. And Ah couldn't figure out why ya just didn't tell each other! I mean, it was so obvious."
Kitty didn't think that her face could possibly get any redder. She glanced at Pietro out of the corner of her eye, and to her amazement, he looked like he was blushing too.
"So," interjected Jean. "Rogue came to me, and we devised a plan. She borrowed Storm's powers, accidentally of course, and we hid behind the school. Then, when your Math teacher came out, I made him forget that he was going to go back inside."
"And then Ah used Storm's powers to make a blizzard of sorts so ya couldn't phase out and run home." Rogue looked quite pleased with herself. "We knew that the two of ya wouldn't be able ta keep your hands off each other for long stranded in the school like that."
"Rogue!" shrieked Kitty. "I can't believe you just said that! And I can't believe that you planned this whole thing!"
Rogue grinned at her. "Well, from the looks of it, we were right. You two looked pretty cozy when we showed up."
Kitty buried her face in her hands. Jean and Rogue started laughing again. Pietro nudged her. "I guess we do owe them," he said quietly. "What do you say we repay them with a little revenge?" Kitty glanced at him. "An excellent idea. Let's go." She phased them both underground and over to where Rogue and Jean were standing.
The girls soon found themselves covered in snow. "Kitty!" gasped Rogue as she struggled to climb out of the snow mound. "That wasn't nice!"
Kitty giggled and leaned against Pietro. "Oh I know that Rogue. But I had to get you back somehow for trying your hardest to embarrass me."
When Rogue and Jean finally got out of the snow, the group headed home. "We told the Professor that you were sleeping over at a friend's house. But it's already noon, so we thought we'd come get you before he really started to worry. We didn't think you'd want to have to explain to him and Wolverine that you spent the night with Pietro in the school gym."
"Thanks you guys," said Kitty gratefully.
They reached the Brotherhood house first. Kitty turned toward Pietro. "Call me later?"
"Definitely." The pair shared a kiss and Pietro headed inside. As the girls continued down the road, they could hear Toad yell "Yo Pietro, were you just makin' out with Pryde?!"
They giggled. "So, Kitty," said Jean after they'd calmed down. "Is Pietro a good kisser?"
Kitty blushed, but only slightly. "Yes, he is. Speaking of kissing, how's Scott?" she countered. It was Jean's turn to blush and Rogue and Kitty laughed.
"Admit it Kitty. You love us for what we did. Yesterday was the happiest day in your life, and ya know it." said Rogue.
Kitty giggled. "Yeah. Yeah you're right. It was! We--"
"Oh!" yelled Rogue. "Ah don't need to hear any more, really. Bad mental images."
Kitty hit her playfully. "Yeah okay."
The three girls walked into the mansion. Each was smiling. Scott came into the front hall. "Oh, Kitty, you're back. How was the sleepover?"
They burst into hysterical giggled. Scott scratched his head confusedly. "Uh, what's so funny?"
"Nothing Scott, said Kitty between giggles. "The sleepover was great. Best I've ever been to." Still laughing, the girls went upstairs.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
First of all, I am sooo sorry that I didn't get this out yesterday. My parents made me shovel the driveway and the sidewalk, and then I got into a huge fight with my mom and she banned me from the computer. But, all is better now. Yay!
Second, I really enjoyed writing this chapter. I hope you guys like it. I want to thank my reviewers. Love you guys.
btch: See, the teacher and the snowstorm are explained!
Katzztar: You were totally right! The snowstorm didn't just come on it's own. Tee he hee. Powers are so useful.
The next chapter will be out sometime this weekend. Probably tomorrow. Which reminds me! I got another snow day today! Yay, I love the weather.
Review Please!
