Chapter 4:

On the yacht:

Copy Cat was looking over the rail of the boat out onto the water.

She sighed heavily as she thought back to what she could remember of her past.

She had been the daughter of a very wealthy man and when he had started dealing with people that Aurora Benz (Copy's real name) didn't trust, she had told him what she thought and he had dismissed her warnings. But Copy had been right; her father's associates had killed her father and then sent her to the Borg and had her assimilated. When the X-Men had heard word of an empty Borg Sphere floating around in space, they had gone to investigate and found only Copy Cat still alive. It had taken a while, but they managed to help her back to health and she had gotten almost all of memories of her life before back. She had gone and avenged her father's death and had gotten the vast billions that she was supposed to inherit before. She had a decision to make; she could either go and run her father's company or stay and fight with the X-Men. She had chosen the latter.

At times she wasn't sure if she had made the right decision, but then something always happened to change her mind.

She sighed again and decided that she was wasting her time just standing there thinking.

She walked back to her cabin and got out her note book, then went to find her friend Imp.

As different as they were, Imp and Copy really were best friends. Copy found Imp rather intriguing. Imp was the only human or mutant she knew of that would, while perfectly sober and sane, pull a prank on Wolverine.

Copy smiled to herself as she remembered the last prank Imp had pulled on him. The bucket of water balloons that had fallen on him had cost Imp two months worth of extra Danger Room session, but Imp hadn't seemed to mind too much after the look that they had all seen on Wolverine's face when the water balloons hit him.

Copy walked out to the ship's deck to continue her search for Imp when she heard two voices screaming rather loudly.

"I'm going to kill you Maximoff! Get out of my room!" Kitty screamed to the speed demon, who was currently tearing around her room, holding some sort of letter.

"Oooo, what's this?" He asked, stopping long enough to open the letter and read the first line. "Dear Lance, I thought I'd write you to say how much I enjoyed our date last night..."

Kitty lunged at him. "Give it back, now!"

Pietro easily dodged her attack and held the letter just out of her reach.

"Make me!"

Copy Cat saw the look of desperation cross Kitty's face as she lunged for Pietro again, only to miss and almost fall on her face. She waited until Pietro had come to a stop right in front of the doorway, in which she stood and grabbed the letter as he waved it in front of Kitty's face.

Pietro turned around to see who had ended his only source of amusement and frowned as he saw Copy Cat standing there with the letter in her hand.

"Hey! What'd you do that for? I was gonna give it back!" He exclaimed.

Kitty ran over to where Copy stood, phasing through Pietro on the way and hugged Copy.

"Thanks Copy! Now like get lost Pietro!" Kitty said, sticking her tongue out at Pietro as he reluctantly walked out of her cabin.

Copy handed Kitty back her letter and scribbled a few notes in her notebook. She closed the book and looked at Kitty.

"This is a classic case of school yard syndrome." She explained, as if that was the most obvious thing in the universe.

"School Yard Syndrome? If by that you mean obnoxious, then yes, he is!" Kitty said.

"No...well yes, but that's not what I meant. You know when a little boy in the school yard teases the girl to get her attention. That's school yard syndrome." Copy explained.

"Wha-you mean you think Pietro likes ME?!? You've gotta be kidding! And even if that were true, I would never like him! He's obnoxious, annoying, arrogant, egotistical, hot, a player..." Kitty started, then stopped herself when she realized that she had just said that Pietro Maximoff was hot.

Copy simply nodded and gave a smile that said "I told you so!".

Kitty turned red. "I don't like him!"

"Whatever you say. Oh, have you seen Imp?" Copy asked, suddenly remembering her earlier quest to find the mischievous one.

"No, not since we were in the van. She might be with Kurt. They like to pull pranks together." Kitty said, happy that Copy had changed the subject.

"I should go find her and make sure she hasn't done anything that could put all our lives in danger. You know how she is." Copy said and then turned and left Kitty's cabin.

When Copy was gone, Kitty turned her attention back to the letter in her hands. She thought back to the night that she had written it. It was after their last date, two weeks ago. After that, they had broken up and Kitty hadn't had the chance to give the letter to Lance. She couldn't figure out how Pietro had gotten it, she hadn't packed it, or had she? No, why would she have packed something like that.

"That doesn't matter, what matters is that it's destroyed and that Pietro doesn't tell Lance about it." Kitty said to herself. She didn't want Lance to think that she was still interested in him, because she really wasn't.

Kitty ripped up the letter and threw it into the garbage can in her room, then went off to find Pietro before he told Lance.

Somewhere else on the yacht:

Imp smiled evilly as she watched Gambit sit right on her latest trap.

Gambit cursed in french rather loudly as the mouse trap that Imp had conjured on his seat snapped shut.

He looked around to see who had put the trap there and glared at Imp as she fell out of her hiding place laughing.

Before he could pull out a card to charge, Copy Cat came running over to Imp.

"There you are! I've been looking everywhere! What is so amusing?" Copy suddenly noticed the man standing not too far away with a look that said he was one of Imp's latest victims.

Copy Cat recognized the man as Remy Lebeau, from reading the files the Professor had on the Acolytes.

When she saw him reaching into his coat, looking for a card no doubt she ran over to him.

"Wait! Don't do anything drastic. Imp is a foolish child who doesn't know any better. Don't kill her!" She cried frantically.

Gambit took his hand out of his coat and smiled at Copy.

"Anyting for a pretty femme." He said, using his famous smile that had won over so many girls before.

Copy Cat merely smiled and grabbed Imp's arm.

"Come on. You've caused enough damage here Imp." She said and before Imp could protest, Copy Cat had dragged her back to their cabin.
