A/N: Hope you like this chappie! Okay another quick note on a change – Kurt is somewhat older than Kitty – say about 21 or so. Hope that's alright with everyone. Anyways on with it...

I don't own X Men Evolution.

"Hey Kitten. What's up?"

"It's Katherine to you Kurt and what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be working or something? Do you like even know what a job is?" Kitty shook her head in disgust.

"It's Saturday and besides I don't have time to work. It's stressful enough scheduling the right amount of time at the country club."

"I know Kurt thinking must really tire you out. Why are you really here?"

"Kitten I'm hurt. Do I need a reason to come see my mom and favourite cousin?"

"Would you please not call me that – urgh, it makes my skin crawl." Kitty gave a slight shudder. "Are you here for the entire weekend?"

"The weekend, the week. What really is time if not..."

"Whatever Kurt!" She rolled her eyes in annoyance and proceeded to head up the stairs.

Upon hearing the young girl's footsteps, Mystique called her into the study.

"Katherine is that you?"

"Yes aunt Mystique."

"Could you come in here please, I need to speak with you."

Kitty sighed and thought to herself... well here we go again! She poked her head through the door and tried to manage a cheerful...

"What's up?"

"I didn't have the chance to speak with you yesterday, how was your afternoon?"

"It was fine aunt Mystique. Why?"

"Just curious. So who was that boy? Where does he live?"

"He's just a boy from school. Is there some problem with me hanging out with him? I am allowed to have friends right?"

"It's just that you were so happy hanging on your own, you were focused on your academics and you had your free time scheduled for you at the club."

"I'm totally bored out of my mind aunt Mystique! All I do is study, play golf and sip ice tea – I'm only 16 for crying out loud!"

"Yes but you were focused on what's important in life."

"But friends are important to me, I need to get out – to get out of my room. To experience something more than socials, fundraisers and country clubs!"

"This boy Katherine - I'm sceptical about him; he's doesn't seem to be up to our standard. Are you sure he lives in Bayville Heights? If he goes to Bayville I must have seen him before, I must know his parents."

"So what are you saying? I can't hang out with him!"

"He looks like trouble Katherine. Maybe you should just stay away from him."

"You're not my mother! You can't tell me who I can and can't be friends with! I'll hang out with him and you can't stop me!"

"Don't take that tone of voice with me young lady! You are not to see that boy and that's final. You're grounded until further notice."

"You can't... you can't do this!"

"I can and I just did! Now go to your room!"

"But..."

"Go!"

Kitty spun around on her heel and stomped out of the study. She was positively seething inside, furiously brushing past Kurt on her trek to the stairs.

"Ooh, is the little Kitten in trouble?"

"Shut up Kurt!"

"Don't speak to your cousin like that Katherine, have some respect!" Mystique called out suddenly, startling the young girl somewhat.

"I... but he..."

"Go to your room Katherine!"

"Come on Kurt sweetie, lets you and mommy go have some lunch." She brushed the stray strands of hair away from the young man's eyes.

"Oh boy can we go to McDonalds?"

"Sure why not? What do you want?"

"I want a bacon double cheeseburger and a large order of fries and a ..."

Mystique once again turned her attention to the young girl still ascending the long staircase, "And remember Katherine, you're grounded until further notice."

"Yes ma'am. Boy I hate this house; I get treated like a doormat. Why don't you just kill me and get it over with?" Kitty mumbled to herself.

"What was that young lady?"

"Nothing aunt Mystique. I didn't say... anything."
