Solidarity
The final bell had just rung, signaling the end of another school day. Lance had detention, so Kitty was waiting in front of Rouge's locker. She hadn't really talked to her best friend in a few days, the Lance situation having taken up a lot of her time.
As Rogue turned the corner, Kitty could tell right away that something was wrong. The older girl looked tired and defeated, and her eyes were suspiciously red rimmed.
"Rogue," said Kitty concernedly. "Have you been crying?"
"No," said Rogue listlessly.
"Yes you have," said Kitty. "What happened? You'll feel better if you tell someone and get it off your chest."
"You really wanna know? Fine, Ah'll tell you. This mornin' Ah decided to go and talk to.......Gambit........about this whole Toad/Alix thing. Ah was gonna apologize and everything. Ah thought that'd make everything alright again, and we could get back together. So Ah cut out after second period to go see him. And when Ah got there, Ah found Alix in R-Remy's shirt and her underwear, and, Ah, Ah freaked out and Ah slapped her, and then he told meh to get out. And Ah asked him why he chose her instead of meh, and he told me to stay so we could talk, but Ah just couldn't. Ah had to leave, Ah couldn't get the image of her in his shirt out of my head. It's over between us, Kit. It's just....over." Rogue was crying quietly.
"Oh my God," said Kitty. She pulled Rogue into a hug. "Oh Rogue, I'm so, so sorry. You didn't deserve that." She was comforting Rogue on the outside, but on the inside, Kitty's thoughts were slightly different.
'That BASTARD! How DARE he hurt Rogue like that?!? He just signed his own death warrant, 'cause I am gonna kick his sorry ass back to New Orleans!'
"Come on Rogue," said Kitty. "Let's get you home." As soon as Kitty had gotten Rogue settled in bed with lots of pillows and cute little stuffed animals, she prepared to go out again.
"W-Where are you goin?" sniffled Rogue.
"Oh, just out to see a friend," said Kitty smiling maliciously. Before she left, Rogue noticed that she grabbed her spike heels.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kitty pulled the X-Van into the driveway of Remy's apartment building. Zippering up the spike heels, she stomped upstairs to his door and pounded on it. As soon as Remy opened it, Kitty delivered a well-placed kick south of the border.
Gasping in pain, Gambit fell over backwards. Kitty walked in and slammed the door behind her. "That was for Rogue, you jerk." If she had actually looked at Gambit before she mauled his manhood, she would have noticed how haggard/tired he looked.
H rolled over on his side, still gasping. Kitty continued her tirade. "I cannot believe that you had the audacity to sleep with that....that bitch! And while you were still going out with Rogue! You didn't even have the heart to break up with her first? Typical guy, thinking that sex with some random girl is gonna fix everything. News flash! It doesn't! It just screwed everything up even more! Rogue is really upset ya know. God, you are such a jerk!"
Remy had managed to stand up, with great difficulty. Kitty shoved him down on the couch. "This really isn't any of your business Kitty. It's between me and Rogue. So I suggest that you stay out of it."
"Stay out of it?" asked Kitty incredulously. "Rogue is my best friend. If you think that I am going to stand idly by while she gets hurt, you are sadly mistaken."
"That's nice and all, but there is nothing you can do. It's up to us whether or not we make up or break up.
Kitty glared at him. "Fine. Excuse me for trying to help my friend. If you want to be a jerk, then be my guest.
He scowled at her. "You can leave now. I have nothing else to discuss with you."
"Ah!" squeaked Kitty indignantly. "Argh, you—argh!" She stamped over to the door.
Just as she was about to open the door, someone opened it from the other side.
"Kitty!" said a very surprised Lance. "What are you doing here?"
"I was trying to find out why your friend back there is such a—a—a, oh never mind!" She stormed outside.
Lance stared after her confusedly for a few seconds. Then he walked into the living room. "What did you do?" he asked Gambit.
Gambit glared at him. "Your girlfriend seems to think that my personal life concerns her. So, she came over here to lecture me on something that has absolutely nothing to do with her!"
"Hey," defended Lance. "If she yelled at you, she must have had a good reason. Did something happen between you and Rogue?"
Gambit banged his head on the table. "I wish people would stop asking me that. So we had a fight. It's not the end of the world."
Lance could sense that Gambit wasn't telling him the whole story. "Well, I'm sure that you guys will work it out," he said. "Just remember, girls are complicated."

Kitty was driving along Main Street on her way back to the Institute. As she stopped at a red light by the park, she spotted Pietro talking with Alix on one of the benches.
A strange feeling came over her. Kind of like.......jealously. No, it couldn't be. But still, seeing Pietro with that girl made Kitty angry. Very, irrationally, angry.
When she got home, she went straight upstairs to see how Rogue was doing. The older girl was asleep. Trying to make as little noise as possible, Kitty grabbed her notebook and a think black marker. Ripping out one of the blank pages, she scrawled: "NO BOYS ALLOWED!!" on it and taped it to the outside the door. Feeling satisfied in a 10-year-old kind of way, Kitty sat down at her desk to start her homework.

Don't kill me! I know I said that this chapter would definitely be up yesterday, but I totally lost track of time. I figure that if you just take the opposite of everything I say, publishing wise, and then you'll know when the chapters will really be up. lol.
Thanks tons to the reviewers!
Peace215: lol! Loved your review, definitely had me giggling. Loved the idea of Kitty kicking Remy's ass even more, so I used it! Thanks for the tres fabulous idea.
I'm not going to even try and predict when the next chappie will be up. (It'd be wrong anyway) But I will say that this week is really busy for me. I've got 2 huge unit tests, an even huge-er book report due, and I'm working all of my schools shows for this year's musical, as makeup artiste extraordinaire. I will promise to try and have another chapter up before the end of the week, but I can't guarantee anything.
Thanks for sticking with me people!
