Disclaimer: I do not own X-Men Evolution! I really wish I did, but I don't!

I was caught in a complete state of bliss for the next three weeks. Kitty and I hung out everyday, sometimes with friends, and sometimes alone. She would bring me a cup of water and a damp towel everyday after my Logan Sessions, which I soon became eternally grateful for. But they were over in a week. When the one week ended, I could have sung and danced without a care in the world. Finally, no more mornings of pain! No more getting up at five-thirty to work out for two hours. Finally, I was free!

One day, Kitty joined Bobby, Ray, Sam, and I in our game tournament. She lost in the first round, hardly putting up enough of a fight to invigorate him. But Kitty didn't care. She was just happy to be a part of something. Soon after, Bobby threw another party to celebrate Ray's win. He had chosen not to be a sore loser…for the moment. We only found out later how miffed he was when he had iced Ray's room. Logan was roused from his room by the ruckus we made, laughing at Bobby, dancing to music, laughing at Ray, spraying Bobby with two-liters of pop. Life was good. Well, until we were threatened with grounding. Again.

"When will you ever learn?" Logan grumbled as we trudged up the stairs to our rooms.

Bobby gave him a sheepish grin. "Never," he replied with an innocent grin. How he looked so guiltless, I'll never know or understand.

Logan's hard gaze landed on me, his brown eyes trying to bore holes in my head. But I merely grinned. "Night, Logan!" I bid goodnight.

Kitty smiled. "Night, night!" she added with a giggle.

Logan sighed. "Goodnight, Half-Pint," he replied. "You too, Elf."

"Sleep vell!" I called as I reached the landing.

Logan grunted in response and went around the rec room, looking for students who were trying to avoid him and stay up later.

Kitty smiled to me. "I had fun tonight," she said.

I grinned. "Me, too," I replied. Kitty then shyly bid me goodnight and left the corridor, heading to her own bedroom.

I left into my own, lost in a state of total and ignorant bliss. It wasn't exactly a date, but it was as close as Kitty and I had come in a while. Well, in the time that I was grounded. But hey, I got off of it in three days. Who knew what would happen then, yeah?

--------------------------

Three days later, I was granted permission to leave the Institute for a date with Kitty. The professor had just smiled and nodded his head, probably thinking about the person he had loved when he was my age. But I didn't have time for that. I needed to prepare.

First, though, I had to ask Kitty. After all, what would a date be without the other half of the couple? I was pretty sure that she would say yes, too, which only made my confidence higher than it had been before.

I found Kitty sitting in a tree, typing away on her laptop. I had learned that whenever she wanted some privacy, she always went into the tree. No one bugged her there.

"Hey Kitty," I greeted with a cheerful grin.

Kitty looked up, smiling sweetly. "Hey Kurt," she replied, saving her document and shutting down her laptop.

"Do you ever accidentally phase zrough zat?" I asked, pointing to her laptop.

She giggled. "Luckily, no," she replied. "So what's up?"

I shrugged. "Vell, since I'm not grounded anymore, vould you like to go on a real date tonight?" I asked.

Kitty's blue eyes widened and sparkled. "Yeah!" she cried.

My heart soared. "Great," I replied. "Vell, how does seven sound?"

Kitty smiled. "Perfect," she replied.

I grinned.

Suddenly, Kitty swung her leg over the branch ready to jump down.

"Vhere are you going?" I asked.

"To get ready."

"VHAT?!"

"Kurt, I only have three hours! I have to hurry!"

I groaned and let Kitty go. Well, I guess it would be worth it. I sighed and went back inside, stealing a section of the newspaper from Logan. Perfect. I now had everything planned out, and if all went well, the date would be perfect.

---------------------

That night, I pulled on a brown sweater and my image inducer, turning my yellow eyes and blue fur into piercing blue eyes and normal skin. I sighed and walked out of my room, searching for Kitty as I went. I found her in the foyer, talking excitedly with Rogue, who was smiling slightly. I could tell by the look in her eyes that Rogue was happy for both of us. I smiled and walked down.

"Hey," I greeted, excited to get out.

Kitty smiled. She looked gorgeous tonight. Of course, that didn't mean she wasn't any other time. Tonight, though, it seemed that she had tried harder than before.

"Hey, you two had better go so you don't miss the movie," Rogue said.

I nodded, and as I led Kitty out, I took the time to whisper my thanks to Rogue. If she hadn't talked to Kitty, she and I probably wouldn't be together at the moment.

Rogue just smiled in response and gave me a shove towards the door.

That night, Kitty and I saw Spiderman 2 at the movies. Afterwards, I took her to a fifties-style restaurant, which just happened to be Kitty's favorite. After we finished eating, she talked me into swing dancing with her on the floor, something I wasn't that good at, but found myself enjoying. Kitty spun around perfectly, never missing a beat. Her moves were dead-on, and she made even me look good as we danced. Eventually, she had me jitterbug with her, something that I was no where near good at. Kitty taught me, though, giggling all the while. Finally, we left the restaurant, walking around town for a while.

"Hey, Kitty, how did you know how to dance like zat?" I asked curiously. I mean, it's not that common for a teenager to know something like that.

Kitty blushed. "Well, when I was little, I listened to the music and liked it, so my parents signed me up for lessons," she explained.

I nodded. That made a lot more sense.

We both fell into silence, not knowing what to say. We enjoyed being around the other person, but we both felt the need to say something. At least, I did. And I could only guess that Kitty was feeling the same way.

Suddenly, I had an idea. I quickly took Kitty's hand in mine. "Come vith me!" I cried.

"What? Kurt! Where are we going?" She demanded, hurrying along behind me.

I sighed, ignoring her question. Suddenly, I ported away, taking Kitty with me. When we reappeared, we were at the side of a lake.

Kitty gasped. "Oh my gosh, Kurt, this is gorgeous!" she gushed.

And it was. Fireflies danced around, occasionally lighting up. The moon and stars shone on the lake, giving the impressions that it was just a crisp, flowing sheet of silver.

Kitty took a step forward, trying to catch a firefly. When she failed, she just kept trying, eventually running around. I smiled, imagining that Kitty had been just like this when she was younger. Suddenly, Kitty came back to me, smiling smugly. Her hands were clasped in front of her. When she came to stand in front of me, she opened her hands, and the firefly inside lit up. My eyes were wide with awe as it flew away.

Kitty smiled. In that instant, I knew it was the right time. I slowly leaned in, a bit nervous and feeling slightly awkward, and placed a gentle kiss on Kitty's lips. My heart fluttered, feeling her soft lips against mine. I slowly pulled away, waiting with baited breath for her response.

Kitty's eyes were wide with surprise. Suddenly, she blushed, slightly embarrassed. But there was something else in her eyes; she seemed pleased, almost ecstatic at my move.

I looked down, embarrassed about my boldness. Suddenly, Kitty reached out and lifted my chin to look at her. She was smiling, but still blushing furiously. She then took my hand and gave me a quick kiss.

I was shocked. I didn't know that Kitty could be so bold. I smiled. The surprise was like a new gift in a way. I knew then that our relationship would be wonderful. We would continue to learn about each other, get in arguments, make up, cry, and laugh together.

I smiled, wrapping my arm around her shoulder. Everything would be like a day in heaven; I knew it. Though heaven would sometimes slip a little towards hell, we would persevere, and though it, become closer and stronger. Together.
