Author's Intro: Been doing some serious thinking and well here is what came out of it......... Hope you enjoy it.

And then of course the regular threats are in order. No reviews, no updates. ~Just be glad I don't do it with all my other stories, I just like this one better! :-D........~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Muttering something evil under his breath while opening his eyes to the morning light, Pyro sat up and threw a quick glance at the alarm clock beside the X-geek's bed, it was madly blinking 7:00 a.m.

"Why does it have to be so bloody early?"

Early mornings, a broken hearted Sheila, damn security alarms, etc......

He sighed, it was his fault he came here, but no way in hell was he going back there. /They killed 'im and someday they're going to see the same fate but worse. And I'll see to it/

Banning his original thoughts from his head, Pyro dragged himself out of bed telling himself that a nice hot shower would get his thoughts on a better subject. /Like a certain Kitty-kat/

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"~Now, don't just walk away, pretending everythings okay, and you don't care about me....~" Kitty sang to herself as she cooked breakfast for her and Pyro.

Ever since the break-up only three things changed Kitty's mood in the slightest. One was cooking, after a few bad batches of cookies and muffins, Kitty turned out to be very talented in the art of it all, even proving herself to be better then the little miss perfect Jean.

Second was singing, it let her get away for a few moments, escape into a world where things were just peaceful, and her voice was beautiful though not in her opinion, nothing was anymore.

Of course there used to be dancing. But now it just brought painful memories, of times when she had tried (A/N: Main word there) to teach Lance how to dance. A small laugh stung the air, as it was hardly heard from the valley girl these days, remembering when Lance almost tore down his house, all because he couldn't do the steps to a slow dance right.

And finally the third thing came as a complete surprise to everyone. Danger Room Sessions. Pretending that robots, dummies, and any other obstacle was the male race improved her defensive skills very highly.

"~And I know it's just no use when all your lies become your truth.......... And you don't care about me......Could you look me in the eye and tell me that your happy now........ Would you turn to my face or have I been erased.......... Are you happy now?-~" Kitty stopped dead in the middle of the chorus. Apparently she had an audience.

There Pyro was standing with a pleased look an his face. /And wait there is something else there/ On his face there was an expression that she couldn't place, but she knew where she had seen it before.

She saw it when Scott looked at Jean, she saw it when Kurt looked at Amanda, she saw it when Bobby looked at Jubilee, she saw it when Sam looked at Amara, and she definitely saw it when Lance looked at Tabitha.

/Just never me........./

"Never would have guessed," he mumbled.

Kitty couldn't stop them even if she had wanted to, so she didn't, she let the tears just run streaming down her cheek. Just wanting to be by herself she fled the room.

" 'ell wat did I do now." Pyro trudged softly to the counter to look at the food on the counter. There were pancakes.... /and the Sheila even decorated them/

On the pancake were jelly beans for the eyes and mouth. And for his nose Kitty put in pink icing the word "SMILE".

"Luv, you really should take your own advice......." He then sat down and started to eat, he knew that Kitty needed some time to work out whatever problem she had, and that was just what he was going to give her.

*******************************************************************

30 minutes later

Running as fast she could, which was pretty fast, Kitty found herself at the Park. But this was area where not many people went to. The playground was by far older then the new one on the opposite side of the park. No kid wanted to swing on rusty old swing or sit around on a rail less merry-go- round.

"What was he doing?" she asked herself out loud.

/ He was just playing around.... I mean the guy isn't bad looking, he probably plays girls all the time. I'm just some new conquest. /

But Kitty had a gut feeling that she was really wrong, really really wrong.

/ But why does it have to happen like this? Why couldn't Lance like me, and show it, like the way he does to Tabitha. And then go send Johnny over there to some place else so he could manipulate another helpless, broken hearted, sap just like me./

But something in Kitty made her wonder if she should actually give him a chance.

/ What!!! I just brokeup with someone that I thought loved me, why should I be thinking about love or even lust for another guy. This is just me wanting love, even in the wrong places./

Picturing said guy, Pyro, in her head churned hidden thoughts that were always there, yet were always ignored.

/ It's not like it's a crime to notice him. I mean the guy has a great body, it's sexy, in that guy kinda way. He has this adorable Aussie face, and a smile though crazy, is totally cute. His hair is wild I know, yet he wouldn't be himself without it. /

Kitty sighed, no matter how much she wanted to push those thoughts out of her head, she knew that it was all true. / Two words, physical attraction. /

Kitty brought her knees up to her legs and hugged them against her chest. As hard as this was she was actually thinking things through.

/ But, hello, Katherine this just isn't right. Lance was the first guy I loved, and I gave my heart to him. But look what he did, he held on to it for awhile, but then threw it into a blender pressed liquify and handed it right back. /

Kitty shook her head at herself, she wouldn't get hurt again, she wouldn't go through the process of "getting over heartache" again.

/ All men are scum!! / Though Kitty knew that wasn't ultimately true, it was rather nice to vent.

Out of no where, the long forgotten tears, that were replaced by the anger of venting, screaming, and shouting, all came back.

Her head told her, "No, it's not true. He was a jerk for leaving you, and you should never ever forgive someone like that."

But then realization and her heart told her, "He may have gone about it in the wrong way, but if the love shared wasn't strong enough in the first place or wasn't true then maybe he was just doing what he had to do. And maybe that thing was the right thing to do."

In the end realization and her heart won out, and her head was batted down.

Thinking a little more, Kitty knew that she had to somehow forgive Lance, because once she thought about it, Kitty knew he hadn't really done anything wrong. Of course everyone else thought that Lance just broke some poor girl's heart over some sexual attraction to another girl, and why wouldn't they?

Kitty hadn't exactly shown Lance in good light with all her ranting about how stupid and cruel he was. But she was hurt, and the only way to lighten her mood during her "ranting phase" was to call her ex scum.

/ I know that Lance actually does share some true love with Tabitha. He did with me, too! But it just wasn't meant to be. I see the way he looks at her, it isn't just a fling, like it was with me. And though it may hurt seeing them together, if I was in love like that I would be doing the same things. /

Kitty all of a sudden felt ashamed. Ashamed for being angry when there was nothing to be angry about. / It's not like he cheated on me. He got over me, but he can't help it right. / Even though Kitty still had visions of Tabitha and Lance together, images that were livid, she felt that they were just two people in love.

Kitty started to understand.

Little by little the weight of the burdens she held were lifting, she was letting go. Letting go of all the pain and scars that were placed upon her by her first love. Letting go of all the hatred to those who hurt her and to those who didn't. Letting go of the feelings of despair of what she had lost.

Also in the process of letting go, Kitty felt she was gaining something. She was gaining power that she never had before, and now received out of the hurt she had gone through and was still going through. Gaining confidence into seeing that she no longer had that love, but that she was able to regain a newfound one.

Now there was only one thing left to do to release it all, and though Kitty knew that it was going to cause her pain like hell, she also knew she had to do it.

Getting up from her position, Kitty wiped the tears, and fixed her self up a little. / Just to be presentable. /

And with that done, Kitty ran, again, but this time she wasn't running from the problem. This time she was running to solve the problem. / Brotherhood here I come. /
