Kitty rushed to her room, after she had showered and changed into something more comfortable. She couldn't wait to log onto her computer and make the latest entry in her personal diary. Just as she sat down and was about to begin, two of her younger schoolmates interrupted her.

"So, what'cha doing Kitty?" Theresa Cassidy asked, as she appeared at Kitty's bedroom doorway.

"It's private." Kitty replied, not wanting to talk about her innermost thoughts with the young girl who stayed in the room next door to hers.

"I bet she's writing about Peter." Danielle Moonstar, another young resident of the girls' hall guessed, as she stopped and stood next to Theresa.

"And how would you know what I'm writing about?" Kitty asked her defensively.

"Because, I heard you telling Jubilee that you thought Peter was soooo cute." Danielle said giggling at her.

"You were spying on me, you little snoop!" Kitty exclaimed.

"We were not spying, you were talking to Jubilee and the door to your room was wide open. I can't help it if we can hear you in our room, right next door." Theresa asserted.

"You should still mind your own business." Kitty said to the both of them.

Theresa and Danielle continued bothering Kitty, giggling and making kissing sounds. Finally, Kitty got up and slammed the door to her room shut.

"Immature Brats. They're part of the reason that I came up with my own personal encryption system for my diary." Kitty thought to herself, as she logged onto her computer.

Dear Diary,

            I finally did it! After saying I was going to do it for months, I got up enough courage to say more than just 'Hi and Bye' to Peter. I was in the Danger Room with him and the other junior X-Men, and I couldn't keep my eyes off of him! He looked just like that night when those soldiers attacked the school. I had seen him around the school before all that happened, but that was the first night that I REALLY noticed him. He was SO brave, rescuing Theresa and then helping to gather the younger kids and take them to the emergency safe house the Professor had set up. Dani and Theresa were teasing me a few minutes ago about it. They're not old enough yet to understand what it means to be in love. But then again, they're only a year or two younger than me. What if Peter looks at me the same way since I'm a couple of years younger than him? What if he thinks I'm just some dumb little schoolgirl with a stupid crush on him? What if he doesn't feel the same way about me? No wait, it's like Jubilee said. I have to be more confident than that. Wow, I can barely wait 'til tonight!

After signing off, Kitty went and laid down on her bed. She tried to think of all of the perfect things she wanted to say to Peter.

Meanwhile in the Mansion's kitchen, Wolverine and Colossus were unwinding following their training session.

"You handle yourself pretty good in a fight kid. I think the tag-team move that we were workin' on may come in handy someday." Logan said to Peter as he got himself a beer out of the refrigerator.

"I just hope I wasn't too rough in there. I haven't learned to control my strength very well when I'm armored up." Peter said apologetically.

"Don't worry 'bout it. Besides, I don't break that easily, bub." Logan asserted.

As the two sat there, Logan proceeded to light his customary cigar, while Peter decided to ask him something that had been weighing heavily on his mind.

"Do you mind if I ask you a question?" Peter asked Logan.

"Go ahead, shoot." Logan replied.

"Do you think if two people, who are really different, can overcome that and work as a couple?" Peter proposed.

Logan sat there for a moment before responding.

"You sure you want love advice, from me of all people, kid?" Logan asked him.

"Never mind." Peter replied as he started to get up.

"Hold on, I didn't say I wouldn't answer ya." Logan continued, "Anyways, I guess it just depends on the people. This got somethin' to do with you and 'Ghost Girl'?"

"I suppose." Peter said to him as he sat back down.

"What, you don't like her?" Logan asked him as he continued to puff on his cigar.

"No, it's not that. She's just so different from me, she's really smart and beautiful." Peter answered.

"Then here's a word of advice. If you really like this girl, then don't waste time worryin' about whether or not you're good enough for her. Take it from an expert, if two people are meant to be together then can't nuthin' change that, except for the two people." Logan said as he got up to walk to his room.

As Logan headed towards the stairs, Peter was left to sit at the table and think about what the older X-man had said to him.
