Chapter 4: Kitty's Memory
Pietro was zooming aroud the now improved Brotherhood house.
"I sure wish Lance would've told me we were going on this boat trip sooner. Then again, no I don't. Now I'll have time to do anything I want!" Pietro said aloud. He finished packing in about 30 seconds and decided to go and pester his sister, Wanda. Pietro of course knew this was a very dangerous thing to do, considering that he wasn't Wanda's favorite person. Nut Pietro being Pietro, loved a good challenge. He zoomed toward his sister's room and knocked on the door very loudly.
"Oh Wanda! Your dear brother wants to speak to you!" Pietro said in a high voice. He put his ear to the door and listened. The next thing he knew, he was lying under Wanda's door surrounded in blue light.
"Pietro! What the hell do you want?!" Wanda yelled.
"Hey! I just wanted to see if you're going on the trip! Jeez!" Wanda hexed the door back into place while Pietro stood up.
"I am not going to spend an entire three weeks with you and Lance! I'm staying here to make sure Toad and Blob don't kill each other." Wanda scowled. A grin slowly slowly crept onto Pietro's face."
"So, you wanted to get Toad alone, eh? Oh Wanda you're so bad!" Pietro laughed. Wanda screamed and hexed Pietro into a wall.
"Pietro, go to hell!" Wanda screamed before storming back into her room and slaming the door. Pietro smirked and zoomed outside. As he was speeding along the street, he passed the institute. Pietro decided to see what was going on. He sped alongside the mansion and peeked around the corner. Kitty was outside, sitting on the steps. She was reading a book. Pietro stared at her. Her hair was out of it's usual ponytail and fell in chocolatey brown waves along her face and shoulders. She was wearing a white undershirt with a purple jacket over it. And Pietro almost couldn't contain himself. 'Is that Pryde?!,' he thought. 'Man is she HOT! OH NO! NOT AGAIN! PRYDE IS NOT HOT! NO NO NO! Too bad Lance ain't here to see this; he'd go nuts!' Pietro decided to make his presence known to Kitty. He stepped out from behind the mansion and zipped behind her.
Kitty felt the breeze, but didn't know it was Pietro. He stood behind Kitty and watched as her hair blew behind her from the wind he created. Then he messed up. He stepped on a stick and it snapped. When Kitty looked up, she was furious.
"Pietro?! What in the hell do you think you're doing?!" Kitty screeched. Pietro wanted to stop himself but his brain responded before he got a chance.
"Gee, Pryde, I dunno! Maybe I went out for a run and decided to come and annoy you X-Geeks!" Pietro snapped.
"Well, leave! There's nothing here for you, you self- centered jerk!" Kitty replied. Pietro hated being called that. Although he'd heard it over a billion times, he still hated it.
"Look, Pryde, don't be mad 'cause no one wants to date you! I mean look at you! Right now you look like a wanna- be hooker! I think you look better as a school girl! Not that you look good at all!" Pietro immediately regretted his words. He glanced at Kitty, whose eyes were glistening with unshed tears. A few weeks back, Kitty was asked on a date by a sophomore. She'd gotten all dressed up but only to her dismay. The date was meant as a joke and kitty ended up being dumped by the boy- right in front of his real girlfriend. She cried for weeks over that. Tears spilled over Kitty's eyes. "Maximoff, leave. Leave now." Kitty said in an angry whisper. Pietro immediately felt bad for saying what he did, and tried to apologize.
"Kitty, look I'm."
"Leave you bastard!" Kitty cried. She phased through the back door of the mansion and ran upstairs to her room. Pietro grew angry and yelled, "Fine!". He turned and sped away.
---Inside the Institute---
Kitty sobbed onto her pillow, remembering the hateful words that came out of Pietro's mouth. Kitty was unaware of the presence of someone in her room.
"Kitty, are yuh okay, sugah?" Rogue asked gently. Kitty shook her head, but kept quiet after raising her head from her pillow. Rogue winced at the pain inside the young brunette's eyes. Despite what Rogue said, she knew in her heart that Kitty was considered a best friend. She was always there when Rogue felt some sort of sorrow, which was very conatnt.
"Yuh wanna tell me what happened?" Kitty nodded and hiccupped.
"D-do you rememb-ber a few w-weeks ago when that boy, Zach asked me out?" Rogue nodded.
"Well, he meant it as a-a-a joke! He never liked me! He lured me to the resturaunt and dumped me right in-in front of his real girlfriend. It took me weeks to get over that!" With that Kitty started crying all over again. Rogue suddenly felt bad for Kitty. Then something hit her.
"Well that was weeks ago. What made yuh think of that?" Rogue asked with confusion. Kitty wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.
"P-Pietro. He came and annoyed me and we had a fight about I don't know what. Then he brought it up." Kitty sighed and lied back down on her bed. Rogue was about to reply, but she stopped.
"Pietro was here? Why?" she was filled with rage. Rogue remembered how Pietro loved to annoy the X-men; especially Evan and Kitty.
"Don't worry Kitty. Ah'll deal wit him latah." Rogue said softly to Kitty. But Kitty couldn't hear her because she had silently fallen asleep.
A/N: Some of you may be wondering how Pietro remembered about what happened to Kitty. Well, let's just say he was there. R&R!
