A.N. Hey everyone! Sorry about the long wait, but I did warn you. Anyway, this chapter is just what the title says. Oh ya! I have good news for you Romy lovers. The next chapter is Romy! Yahhhh! Anyway, sorry again, but I hope you enjoy! On with the story!

When Pietro arrived home it was near midnight and everyone else was asleep. He had walked slowly, even for a normal person, home, trying to figure out why he had danced with Kitty like that. He was surprised to find that he had enjoyed it a lot. Pietro was also shocked to find that she had kept up with him. No girl had ever danced as fast as he had.

As he walked through the front door, he was greeted be a warm change in temperature. Outside was freezing cold, even though it still hadn't snowed.

~~ Five days until the Christmas party. ~~ Pietro's thoughts wandered. ~~ I should probably get the X-Geeks something. Man, I'm going soft. After school we can go shopping for them. ~~ Pietro trudged up the stairs. He entered his room and as his head hit the pillow, he fell into a deep slumber.

Kitty exited the bathroom and headed down the hall towards her room. Scott had already gone to bed after they returned home, so she was the only one awake.

~~ I never really realized how creepy the institute like is at night. ~~ She thought as she looked down the scary, dark hallway. A sudden shiver ran up her spine, making her jump in fright. Kitty ran to her room and phased in through the door, panting. She looked around just in case. Kitty calmed down; realizing her mind was playing tricks on her. She walked to her bed quietly as to not disturb Rogue, who was sound asleep. Kitty looked at her new alarm clock (after she short-circuited her last one she had to buy a new one). ~~ Midnight. ~~ She thought. ~~ Yet I'm not even like, tired. ~~

Kitty reached over to her desk and grabbed her laptop. She opened it and logged into her diary. She relayed the day's events to the computer, her fingers typing rapidly. She was lost in her train of thought when she suddenly heard a moan from Rogue's side of the room. She lifted her eyes from the screen and looked over at Rogue, who seemed to be dreaming.

*Giggle* "Remy, stop tha'," Rogue mumbled in a bubbly tone. "You're ticklin' me." Kitty's eye's widened as she listened to Rogue mutter some more. She had never heard Rogue giggle before and it was slightly unnerving. "Oooh, Remy. You're too sweet!" Rogue giggled a little bit more as she rolled over so her back was towards Kitty.

~~ Wait a sec. I thought Rogue liked Scott. ~~ Kitty pondered. More mutterings of Remy could be heard from Rogue's side of the room as Kitty tried to figure out why the name Remy sounded so familiar. And then it struck her. ~~ Remy is one of Magneto's Acolytes! Oh my God! I can't believe Rogue has a thing for an Acolyte! ~~ Kitty thought, completely surprised.

"Oooh, Remy. That feels soo good," Rogue moaned. Kitty's eye's widened even more, if possible, as she felt her face flush deeply.

~~ I shouldn't be listening to this! Nononono! ~~ Kitty signed off her laptop, setting it back on her desk, and quickly shuffled under her covers. Luckily, Rogue snuggled her face into the pillow, muffling her voice. Kitty couldn't help but laugh inside at this new discovery. But, even thought it would make great gossip, she didn't dare humiliate her best friends. And that was that.

Kitty stirred from sleep groggily, sitting up and rubbing her eyes. She glanced at her clock's bright red lights.

~~ Four o'clock in the morning! Why am I up this early? I've only been asleep for like four hours. ~~ Kitty thought, completely confused by this event. She lay back down and tried to go back to sleep, but it was to no avail. With a heavy sigh, Kitty got up and stretched. ~~ It's a little warm in here. I'll just open the window a little bit. ~~ She walked over to the window and pulled the curtains back.

What met Kitty's eyes was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. The snow was coming down softly, obviously the aftereffect of a blizzard. The sky was still deep ebony, but the snow reflected the moon's silvery glow, giving the front yard an eerie, ghostly effect. Kitty stood transfixed in silence as the snow continued to drift slowly downward. Then a thought struck her.

~~ I wonder if school is off. ~~ She pondered, forgetting all about opening the wind. She closed the curtains and phased downstairs into the kitchen. (I'm not sure if Kitty and Rogue's room is above the kitchen, but it is now. Please bare with this!) She turned on the TV that hung from the ceiling to a channel with cancel reports. Kitty's eyes scanned over all of the different school names that flickered across the bottom of the screen. Suddenly the words "Bayville Schools Canceled" flashed across the screen.

"All right!" Kitty said excitedly, but still quietly enough so as not to wake anyone else. She switched off the TV and jumped, phasing through to ceiling. Once back into her room, she looked over at Rogue to make sure she was still asleep. Kitty couldn't help but snicker at the remembrance of last night. She shook it off and walked over to her closet, opening it. She knew she wasn't going to be able to fall back asleep, so she decided to start the day. She picked out white cashmere turtleneck and tight white pants. She dug deep in her pile of shoes until she found her white snow boots and slipped them on. She then pulled her hair up into the usual high ponytail with a white scrunchie. Lastly, she grabbed her white down coat with the fake fur neck and wrist linings and slipped that over her turtleneck. She looked over at her alarm clock just to see what time it was. The bright red number read ten to five.

Kitty planned to walk to the mall, which was a very far distance, so she could finish shopping. She knew it wouldn't open for a while, but by the time she reached it, it should be. She didn't worry about how long the walk was, because she felt she needed to just clear her head. Her head was buzzing full of thoughts and problems that needed to be sorted out, so she could sort them on the way. She left a note on her bed so the other X-Men wouldn't worry about where she had gone. She grabbed her purse and phased downstairs. She walked quietly to the front door. She opened the door, pulled the hood of her coat up over her head, and headed out into the snow.
