Kit had just got back from his mortifying experience on the moon. He hadn't been back long but he was already pacing. "Kit, what's wrong, your pacing so don't tell me nothing." His sister said with that know-it-all attitude she had developed over the years.

Kit didn't know if he wanted to keep this to himself or if it would be better to tell. And if he wanted to talk to someone, shouldn't it be Nita and not his sister. Kit thought back to the moon and to the poem sitting on his desk. He had planned to give it to her but "forgot" it on his way outside. "I'm just thinking about school starting and how I haven't even finished the first month of school work yet."

Carmella walked out the door with a sigh, knowing that Kit was either being stupid about Nita again, or he was actually telling the truth. The ladder made her want to disown him as a brother.

Kit went over to his desk. On it laid two pieces of paper. One was a letter explaining all of his feelings to Nita and the other was the poem he had written. Kit ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. He had made up his mind, again, he was going to tell her how he felt if it killed him. But first, he had to go to the bathroom.

Nita was slightly worried about Kit. So she decided to pop on over there with her transit to his bedroom. First off, she wanted to know what he had to say to her that was so hard to explain he just couldn't say it. Secondly, she wanted to know why he left in such a hurry. She had rather liked the contact he had initiated.

In Kit's bedroom, Ponch was snoozing on the end of the bed. When he saw Nita, he gave a loud sigh. Nita could tell Kit wasn't there so she sat and made herself comfortable at his desk. She noticed the two pieces of paper and started to read the first.

Dear Nita,

From the day I met you in the forest, I knew you were special. I knew that you would be one of the only people who ever understood the things I was going through. Not just the wizardry, but the bullies and the being made fun of. I know you look back on it and hate yourself for not being able to stand up to them, but you helped me anyway.

I also felt another connection with you. A more intimate one that has only developed through our time spent together and the wizardries we have preformed. I don't know if you feel the same, or even if you have ever thought of me from a romantic perspective, but I just had to tell you. If you never want to see me again I'd understand, but please remember that I love you and always will.

Love Forever and for Always,

Kit

Nita felt a tear drop from her eye to her cheek. 'It's as if Kit has read my soul. He feels the same way! I can't believe it!' She turned her attention toward the other piece of paper and read:

Lovely Adoration

I never eat, I never sleep

What is wrong with me

A flutter of butter, a butterfly

My life is pure ecstasy.

When she is there I'm upside down

Backways, sideways, inside out

A batting of eyes a clasping of hands

Makes me want to scream and shout.

As we walk under starry skies

Eyes all aglow

Her presence is calming as we swing our hands

Back and forth, to and fro.

She stops and I turn, noticing a shiver,
I offer a coat and arm

Holding her close to keep out the cold

And protect her from all harm.

We approach a long, white picket fence

I walk her to the door

Brushing back a lock of hair

I show her she's the one I adore.

For Nita.

Nita couldn't hold back the tears any more. Kit loved her and she loved him. Nita felt a surge of joy. She felt like she could do anything. But when people talk about going from 0-60 in no time flat, they must be talking about her and the way she went from 60-0 when she heard Kit say, "Nita what are you doing with that?!"
