Chapter 2

Scott dropped off kitty and Jubilee at the movies. They got their tickets and headed for the snack department.

"Hey, I think you should like go and save our seats and like I'll get the snacks." Jubilee nodded and walked away not before telling Kitty to get some Juju Beans.

Kitty was standing on line for about 10 minutes. She kept looking at her watch to make sure it wasn't 9:00 yet; it was already 8:50. The lady in front of her was ordering a whole mess of food. She wasn't sure if there'd be anything left by the time it was her turn to order. It was FINALLY her turn to order.

"Hi, can I like get a large popcorn with butter, 2 cokes, and um...oh some Juju Beans."

"$18.75."

As Kitty fished 20 out of her pocket a certain good-looking yet annoying silver haired boy was standing behind her with a new ditzy skank of the week "Julie".

"Gee Pryde, couldn't find anyone to go to the movies with eh?" Pietro said as he smirked.

"Not like it's any of your business but I'm with Jubilee." She said taking her order off the counter and sticking her tongue out at Pietro.

"Real mature Pryde."

Kitty rolled her eyes and said, "Oh like shut your idiotic talking mouth, Quick Boy."

Pietro noticed the Juju Beans and looked at her with one of his infamous million-dollar smirk. "Juju Beans eh Pryde? Aren't you worried about acne?" Pietro mocked as he noticed her getting fiercely irritated and of course he enjoyed every minute of this torture.

"Pietro, I want some popcorn!" Julie nagged tugging at his right sleeve.

Kitty and Pietro both looked at her like she was five years old. Kitty saw her watch read 9:07 pm. 'Oh crap! I'm missing my Johnny Depp!' Kitty thought worriedly. "Listen Pietro, as much as I would just like simply LOVE to sink to your low level, I've got to go." Kitty said as she ran to her theater. She spotted Jubilee in the center seats.

"What took you so long?" Jubilee whispered.

"I ran into an egoistical jerk." Kitty whispered back.

She didn't need to say any names because Jubilee knew the name already.

'Johnny Depp is so hot; he looks good in a Mr. Rogers sweater. I'd loved to be with someone that good-looking.' Just then Pietro walked in. She couldn't believe that he was here. Pietro and Julie decided to sit right in front of them. There were plenty of empty seats. Kitty started to get pissed.

'Of all the seats, he chooses the one in front of me. I'm not gonna like, let this get the of me. I came to see this movie so I'm watching it...nobody stops me from seeing Johnny Depp.'

Her thoughts were interrupted by Julie kissing Pietro's neck. 'Oh god, I can't like wait till this movie is over...no offense Johnny.'

Rogue was sitting on her bed, trying to read her book, but every time she tried she kept looking at the note Remy left her. "Maybe next time we'll get that Silver Kiss...yeah and maybe Kitty will stop acting like a valley girl." She laughed at her comment.

She couldn't stop thinking about it. Why was it getting to her? She looked down at her gloved hands. 'Maybe one day Ah'll be able to touch...what am Ah thinking. There's no way. Gawd Ah need to come back to reality, it will never happen.' She sighed at her confused thoughts.

*Rogue, would you come down to my office. * Professor X said telepathically.

Rogue walked down to the professor's office. She knocked on the before entering his office.

"Ya wanted ta see me professa?"

She saw Logan there too. She wasn't sure what was going on.

"Yes, Rogue I have some news for you." The professor said.

"Okay, what is it?"

The professor looked at Logan then looked at Rogue.

"When you first came her, I told you that you may never be able to control your mutation," The professor said as Rogue looked down at her feet "Well, it appears that there is a way but it is very difficult."

Rogue looked up quickly.

"Really, how?!"

"Well, you see if you are willing to let me into your mind, I would be able to help lock up your mutation for a little while. With some practice you may be able to hold back your absorbing powers and allow yourself skin contact."

Rogue was shocked. She couldn't believe that there was hope.

"Are ya sure this could work" Rogue asked trying not to show her excitement.

"I believe so. Now starting tomorrow 3:00 p.m. you will be receiving lessons from me. And Logan will help you as well; he has volunteered to help you on your focus and meditation."

"Meditation?" Rogue asked as she turned to Logan.

"What. Do you think all I do is drink beer and kick other people's asses?"

'Actually, I did think that.' Rogue thought. "Of course not."

"There's a few things you kids don't know about me, and I'd like to keep it that way, Stripes." Logan growled.

"Thanks professa. Well, Ah'm gonna go now. Ah'm tired." Rogue said as she yawned and walked out the room to hers. She got into her room getting ready to go to sleep.

Once the movie finished Kitty got up and practically dragged Jubilee to a pay phone. She called up Scott to tell him to come get them. Jubilee saw how tense Kitty was, so she tried to say something to help calm her down.

"Um...what'd you think of the movie? I thought it was cool, maybe the ending could have been better." Kitty sighed, "The movie would have been better if Pietro hadn't ruined it for me." "Now how did I do that?" Kitty turned around to come face to face with the Speed Demon. "I couldn't hear the movie over you and your 3rd girlfriend of the week making out!" "Gee Pryde, just because you can't get a date doesn't you should take it out on me." Pietro smirked as he said it. "I could get a date if I like wanted to!", Kitty said. "I'm like so sure you could, and like I'm the pope." Pietro mocked her. He loved to piss Kitty off only because it was so easy to push her buttons. Meanwhile, Jubilee was looking out for Scott's car. She spotted him rounding the corner then she grabbed Kitty's arm walked over to his car.

The ride back to the institute was quiet. As Scott parked the car, Kitty phased through the car door. She phased through the institute doors and ran up to her room. It was 11 o'clock, so she assumed that Rogue was asleep. She didn't want to wake her; she phased through and got dressed for bed. She wanted to do was forget about what happened at the movies and Pietro. 'God, why can't I stop thinking about him? He's so annoying, so into himself, so cute...wait I do not think he's cute! Oh man, I must be tired. I need to go to sleep now.'
