Kitty took a deep breath as she stood in the school's entrance staring at her execution. While all the other students were racing out of the school happy to be done for the day, Kitty was cautious to step out of the school and face the future which was quickly becoming her present. Sure it was easy to talk herself into helping Lance but now she wasn't sure how she'll let Lance in on it. He wasn't exactly the most rational boy she'd met so she wasn't sure how he'd take this idea of hers.

She frowned at herself. "Get it together Kitty. You're Shadowcat! You don't freak over something like this." Her tiny pep talk helped slightly at least making her move again, towards the green jeep parked outside of the school.

How she hoped he'd be asleep again.

"Hey Kitty."

Even though she was looking right at him when he spoke, his voice made her jump. She quickly recovered and opened the door the passenger's side, this time holding her book bag on her lap as she sat. "Hi."

Lance took notice of her bag which was inflated with books, even more than that morning. He gave her a slight look of pity and pointed at her bag. "Is all of that homework?"

((Here it goes)) Kitty gave him a sweet smile creasing her eyebrows. "Not necessarily. I have time to hangout with you today."

Lance grinned as he perked up like a puppy. The bag must have made him think otherwise. He started the engine as he went to talking. "Great! So where do you want to go? Food? Movies?"

"The beach."

The engine started but Lance's excitement died with confusion. "The beach? It's November! We'll freeze our asses off!"

Kitty giggled. "It's not like I wanted to swim or anything! There's just this cool place I've noticed awhile back and I wanted to check it out."

Lance gave her a skeptical look. "Is it indoors?"

Kitty thought about it and smirked. "You could say that."

With that Lance drove away from the school grounds. "Beach it is then."

It was a beautiful autumn day at the beach where the dark sky matched the ocean's color. The crashing of the waves were loud and echoed across the deserted shore. Only two people dared to go there that day and that was what Kitty hoped for.

She giggled as she climbed out of the jeep and closed the door with her hip. "I knew we'd be alone here!" With that she started to strip off her shoes.

Lance slammed his door shut suddenly wondering if his fantasy was coming true. Kitty, alone, taking off clothes. "Uh. Kitty?"

Once Kitty's shoes and socks were removed she rolled up her boot cut jeans and took off into the sand. She let out a long sigh as she closed her eyes and threw her arms out. "Aww! This is great! I love the feeling of sand squishing around my toes!"

Lance felt a tiny pang of disappointment from his dirty thoughts but still couldn't help but smile at Kitty. She looked so amazing with her tiny figure standing in front of a long endless ocean. The wind blew her hair slightly across her face as her arms were outstretched, embracing heaven like.

((You're just like an angel. You're skin makes me cry.)) Lance looked down beginning to feel just the way the singer did. He felt like a creep unworthy of Kitty.

Kitty took notice of Lance looking down at his shoes. He looked just way he did that morning. Angry, lost, and slightly ashamed. It broke her heart to see him like that, as if all his confidence went away because her. She thought for a second and smiled to herself when she had an idea.

She turned her hands in to a megaphone and call to Lance like he was 100 miles away. "Lance! I look like an idiot here by myself. Why don't you turn on the radio, take your shoes off and get your sorry butt over here!"

Lance looked up startled by her forceful words. She just grinned and kicked some sand in his direction. His mouth slowly curved into a sly grin. "You asked for it."

He turned on the jeep and blasted Kitty's favorite radio station as loud as possible and went to unlacing his shoes.

Lance came towards her but stopped once his feet sunk into the cold sand. He made he face and looked up at her. "This feels weird."

Kitty gave him a look of shock. "You've never done this before?"

"This is the first time I've been to ocean just to hang out." He admitted, then ducked his head a little. "Every other time I was either fighting you, or trying to kill Pietro. Actually I'd never seen ocean till then."

"Wow." Kitty said as she squished her toes around in the sand. "My family and I used to go to the beach every summer for a family vacation since we didn't have any beaches in Illinois. Sometimes when I come here I really miss my family."

Once again Lance's feet became very interesting to him. "Yeah. I wouldn't know."

"Why wouldn't you know? Don't you miss your family?"

Lance looked up suddenly realizing that he had said that out loud. He then gave Kitty a weak smile. "Not as much as you."

On the radio Kitty heard the perfect song begin to play. Atomic kitten's "If You Come To Me". Taking advantage of the moment Kitty approached Lance and took his hand. "Are you used to the sand yet?"

"Getting there."

"Good." Kitty winked. "Let's dance."

((So long ago

I didn't have a care about me

I didn't know my right from wrong

But now I know

That you got your love around me

You know it makes me feel so strong

Baby if you turn around

And prove to me its real

Maybe we can work it out

Cos this is how I feel))

Lance was unsure at first but couldn't say no to Kitty. She tugged him out to the sand where there wasn't so much giving them the ability to move around. She then encircled her arms around his neck and rested her head on his chest.

((Do you know where you go when you give it all away

I'll be there for you, care for you

Love you everyday oh baby

And do you feel the same for me?

Everyday you're away

And I feel a little low

I would cry for you, die for you

Just to let you know oh baby

And if you come to me you know I'll make it right))

He slowly adjusted to the sand as the warmth of her body became a part of him. He rested his chin on the top of her head, as soft as silk, and closed his eyes not feeling like there was anything needed to be said. There was no ice to break or small talk to make, because the music said it all.

((Through out all my life

I never thought I'd have somebody

Someone to call my own

And now I've found

A little bit of heaven baby

A place to call my own

Baby if you turn around

And prove to me its real

Maybe we can work it out

Cos this is how I feel

Do you know where you go when you give it all away

I'll be there for you, care for you

Love you everyday oh baby

And do you feel the same for me?

Everyday you're away

And I feel a little low

I would cry for you, die for you

Just to let you know oh baby

And if you come to me you know I'll make it right))

Kitty knew in her heart that this was the perfect time to talk to him about the diploma. He was comfortable and vulnerable to her as wicked as it sounded. She was the exact same way however. She felt his arms readjust around her waist sending a shiver down her spine. This was new to her. This Lance that wasn't overpowering or too cautious like before. This Lance held her like they belonged this way. She didn't want to ruin this moment but it was because of this feeling she had to ruin it.

((Hey there dont you know

You gotta slow down before you know

You gonna brake down and turn around

Before you know, you go and break my heart

When will you learn to be

A little helpful when you think of me

A little careful when you're close to me

Coz baby i loved you from the start

Baby if you turn around

And prove to me its real

Maybe we can work it out

Cos this is how I feel

(I love you)))

"Lance?"

"Hmm?"

"Um... . .How are you?" Ok it was harder than she thought.

"Honestly? Perfect." Lance said gruffly as he began to massage the space between her shoulder blades with his thumb. "Except you lied to me."

"Huh?" Kitty said suddenly becoming panicky.

"Yeah." He said in mock anger. "You said we'd be indoors."

Kitty sighed slightly from relief and mostly from the way Lance traced the base of her neck with his rough yet gentle fingers. "We will be kinda." She murmured. Then tightened her grip around his neck and closed her eyes. "Just after this song. Kay?"

He said nothing but continued to hold her. They no longer moved in the sand. They just held each other as if they were saying goodbye for the last time.

Do you know where you go when you give it all away

I'll be there for you, care for you

Love you everyday oh baby

And do you feel the same for me?

Everyday you're away

And I feel a little low

I would cry for you, die for you

Just to let you know oh baby

Do you know where you go when you give it all away

I'll be there for you, care for you

Love you everyday oh baby

And do you feel the same for me?

Everyday you're away

And I feel a little low

I would cry for you, die for you

Just to let you know oh baby

And if you come to me you know I'll make it right))

The song ended and the loud obnoxious DJ came on screaming about cocoa butter. Lance and Kitty slowly let go each other and laughed at how it was just what they needed to ruin the mood. After Lance turned of the jeep Kitty took his hand and led him to her destination with the giant bookbag.
