Maybe

Knock. Knock.

"Come in," Kitty called out from her desk.

"Kitty, someone's waiting for you outside," Amara was smiling like crazy.

"What?" Kitty noticed all her friends had come up and crowded her room, as if it were some big surprise, "what's going on?"

"You'll see," Jubilee giggled.

The girls stood together as Bobby opened the front door.

From the start of the door was a red carpet leading to a carriage, Cinderella style, with Todd, dressed in an old fashioned suit, standing by the door of the carriage.

"Oh my gosh!" Kitty whispered.

"I've come for an invitation for milady Katherine," He spoke with an awful British accent that caused everyone watching to laugh, and there was quite a crowd in the Institute.

"Wait!" Jean exclaimed, "She has to change for wherever she's going!"

"Yeah!" The girls agreed and ran Kitty back upstairs.

"Women," Bobby shook his head.

"You can stay that again," Todd muttered.

"Are you girls ready yet?" Ray yelled from the bottom of the stairs.

"Coming!" Tabitha shouted.

"You look beautiful Kaztchen," Kurt compliment as she walked outside.

Kitty was wearing her Princess costume for Halloween. A long, flowy blue dress, with bell sleeves, and one of the girls had made a French braid that circled her head like a soft halo, a 'laurel wreath,' is what Amara had called it.

"Thanks Kurt," Kitty smiled as she stepped onto the red carpet with Todd escorting her onto the carriage.

"Have her back in an hour," Scott called out as Todd drove off, causing Jean to elbow his side.

"What is Pietro up to?" Kitty wondered aloud inside the carriage, since she was alone.

"We have arrived milady," Todd opened the door and bowed.

Kitty's eyes widened as she beheld the scene before her, the red carpet led to a small, lighted area in-between trees at the park. She followed the red carpet, and at the end was Pietro standing waiting for her, with lanterns all around.

"You waiting for me?" She asked softly.

"You know I am," He replied and took her by the hand.

"What is this about?" She looked into his eyes to try to read it.

He cleared his throat.

She looked at him, waiting for whatever he was going to do.

"I would be honored, if you be my date for the prom?" He asked ever so sincerely.

"Of course, I'll go with you."

Pietro then picked her up and twirled her around.

"Why did you go to so much trouble to do this?" She asked.

"Because I love you, and I wanted this to be really special," He gently placed a kiss on her temple.

"Thank you," She smiled.

"Anything to make you happy Kitten, now let's get you home. I heard you're only allowed to be out for an hour," Pietro laughed.

"Yeah, late notice," She teased.

"It's fine," He added and helped her back into the carriage.

"You two done already?" Todd asked, while he was feasting on flies.

Kitty nodded, "I have to be home because I still have homework."

"Bummer," Todd replied.

"I know what you mean," Pietro sighed.

"Kitty! Kitty! You won't believe this, but you could be Prom Queen!" Amara squealed during lunch.

"What?!" Kitty exclaimed.

"Look," Amara shoved the piece of paper in front of her face.

"Oh my goodness, how did this happen?" Kitty looked around if she could spot Pietro, but he wasn't at lunch.

"Who knows, but this is so exciting!" Amara ran off to meet the other X-men to show off.

"Listen, Pryde, you're only popular now because of Pietro Maximoff," Renee, the captain of the cheerleading squad cornered her in the hallway after school. "So don't look so innocent. I know what's going on between you and Pietro."

"Between me and Pietro?" Kitty couldn't stand the way she was staring at her, "what are you trying to prove? Pietro and I are just friends."

"Oh, right. Friends. Buddies," She said sarcastically, "that explains why the most popular guy in school hangs out with a low-life like you."

"Back off Renee, unless you know what's good for you!" Rogue shouted walking toward them.

Renee glared at Kitty one last time, "You're not good enough for this school, and you're definitely not good enough for Pietro Maximoff."

"Thanks," Kitty sighed, "What did I ever do to her?"

"It's not you, she's just mad at Pietro," Rogue answered as the two of them started making their way to the parking lot.

"What's her problem?" Kitty asked, still bothered about the whole situation.

"Her problem is Pietro. She likes him, didn't you know that? Everybody knows that."

"Rogue, almost all the girls at Bayville High like Pietro. He and I are good friends, you know that," She reasoned.

"Sure I do, but Renee doesn't. Besides, stop it with the 'just friends,' label." Rogue added.

"Why? We are just friends, though." Kitty replied.

"Well, I heard that she asked him and he turned her down. That's why she's so upset, I almost feel sorry for the girl. Nah, forget it. Anyways, he told her he was taking you."

"I'm still kinda surprised he asked me, because now I'm up against the most popular girls in school," Kitty stated.

"Come on Kitty! He loves you, he said it. Aren't you guys going out tonight anyways?" Rogue questioned.

"Not tonight, it's his turn to cook tonight, so he has to stay home," Kitty answered, "Ok fine, we're not just friends, but we aren't anything either, so we're somewhere in the middle."

"So you guys are 'talking?'" Rogue raised an eyebrow.

"We're best friends, that's it. He said he loves me, I didn't say anything back, and I'm not ready. I'm still in the process of getting over Lance, so obviously I haven't crossed anything, he has," Kitty stated.

"Whatever, denial," Rogue shook her head and got into the van.

"What are you guys talking about?" Jubilee asked.

"Renee was bothering Kitty about Pietro," Rouge answered.

"Don't mind her, she's scared of you. You're competition," said Tabitha.

Kitty just shrugged.

The next day at lunch, Kitty was determined to talk to Pietro about the whole prom queen situation, so she made her way to his table.

"Hey your majesty!" He teased.

Kitty gave him a look that he was embarrassing her and that she wanted to talk in private.

He read her expression perfectly and stepped outside for a while.

"Don't tell me," He said towering over her, "you flunked your Pre-Cal quiz."

"No, that's tomorrow, it's something else," She spoke softly.

"It's your parents huh? They want you to move back to Illinois?"

"No, Pietro. It's something I'm trying to decide."

"Well, the answer is blue," He replied.

"Blue?" Kitty made a face.

"If you're trying to decide what color suits you, it's blue, it brings out your eyes," He stated.

Kitty stared at him without responding. 'This is pointless,' she thought.

"Never mind," She shook her head and started to walk away.

Just then the bell rang.

"Wait a minute," He grabbed her elbow to pull her back.

She sighed and obliged.

"Meet me after school ok?" He let go of her arm waiting for an answer.

"It's really nothing."

"Just be here," He pointed to the spot where they were just standing, "after school," then he sprinted off to the science building.

"Now will you tell me what's going on?" He asked sitting next to her on the low brick wall.

"It's this whole prom queen thing, it's crazy, whoever decided I should be running was probably drunk," She sighed.

"Hey! I'm the one who tried my very best to get you there. I mean, if I were to be Prom King, who else would I want by my side?" He whispered the last part.

Kitty punched his arm, "You make me so mad sometimes! First, you're joking around so much, and then now you get all sweet, ugh!"

"I'm sorry," He said.

"I'm not Prom Queen Material, everyone knows that," She added.

"I don't care, but I'm going to try my hardest to make sure I end up with you. It doesn't matter if you win or lose though, because if you don't win, we'll ditch."

Kitty shook her head and laughed. "What's the point?"

"It doesn't hurt to try, please for me?" He pleaded.

Kitty looked at him, her mouth easing into a promising smile, "Alright Pietro, I'll try."

"Oh man!" Pietro shook his head at her, "if only you knew how you did that!"

"Did what?" She looked at him curiously.

"It's your eyes, Kitten. You have killer eyes. You have this way of looking at a guy, and you don't know what you do to him."

Kitty felt her face heat up, "Well, you have a way of knowing the right words to make a girl feel like Play-Doh."

"Like Play-Doh?

"Yeah, all soft and mushy," She giggled.

"That's exactly what you do to a guy, Killer Eyes, when you give him that innocence and bliss look."

Kitty batted her eyelashes and in her Scarlett O'Hara voice, "You mean like this?"

"Nope," Pietro's face remained serious. "That's what makes it killer; you don't even know you do it. It's just you. It's your innocence, and not many girls in this school still have that."

Kitty looked at him, no words were needed.

"You better go, or else they'll leave you," He said.

"Thanks," Kitty gave him a 'buddy hug.'

Pietro swung his arms around her to return the gesture, and just to be funny, pretended that he was going to tip her off the wall. But he held onto her and pulled her back up. They laughed.

"Bye," Kitty smiled and ran off.
