And now my twisted ideas for a Lancitty therapy
'oobie doobie doobie' = thoughts
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Lancitty a.k.a Death by Pencil
She threw open the door to find a petite brunette stand there with a big smile on her face.
"Hello you must be my 11 'o' clock, Pryde?"
"Hi! Nice to meet you! I'm Kitty" Kitty stuck out her hand for Marsha to shake.
Marsha took her hand and then looked around Kitty. "But where is your partner?"
"Huh?" Kitty turned round to see no-one standing behind her. She stalked out of the doorway and back into the street to see Lance running away.
"LANCE ALVERS YOU GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!"
Marsha watched in shock as the girl cornered the boy and dragged him back to her office. She put her hands in her face in despair 'why do I always get the crazy ones?' She went to take a seat behind her desk, she could feel her headache getting worse, and she still hadn't found that damn aspirin.
"Sorry about that!" Kitty said apologetically as she dragged the boy through the doorway. 'Oh poo!' thought Martha, he had to be cute, he reminded her of the guy she dated back in high school, oh yea....he was so hot...bad boys...ya gotta love em' She snapped out of her daydream to see that Lance had hooked himself on the door way and was refusing to let go, 'what is with guys and therapy anyway? 'she thought as she watched his muscles work.
Kitty finally managed to get Lance off the doorway, and into a chair where he sat down with a ' I so don't wanna be here look'. As soon as Kitty took her seat Lance jumped up again ('nice reflexes' thought Marsha) and ran for the door. To her surprise, Kitty disappeared through the floor and reappeared right on the other side of the doorway, blocking Lance's progress.
Lance sighed and turned back to his seat 'Why do I have to do this again?" he pouted
"Because it's a totally good idea, duh!" said Kitty brightly
"My Ass" retorted Lance as he sat down
"Is very nice..." said Marsha quietly, staring at it as he took a seat.
"What did you say?" asked Kitty quickly, a frown on her face
"Um...uh...It's very nice to meet you" she extended a hand towards Lance, who shook it. 'Strong hands' Marsha thought to herself as Lance was trying to pull his hand away.
Kitty frowned again, she thought Rogue was being stupid when she said that the shrink 'was a big high-fahluting hussie who's after mah man!' . She decided to keep a close watch on this women. Kitty grabbed Lance's hand and phased it though Marsha's,
"Shall We?" said Kitty, her voice losing her perky edge.
Marsha gave her best fake smile "Sorry was just daydreaming for a second there." 'Gees...possessive much?' Marsha thought about Kitty
"Ok...Now what brings you two to couples therapy?" she asked succinctly
"Well I, like, heard my friend was going so I decided to book an appointment too, seeing as me and MY" Kitty put major emphasis on the word, "boyfriend tend to have a few problems."
Marsha nodded understandingly, then a thought hit her. "This friend of yours..."
"Oh you know Rogue don't you?" Kitty said sweetly as she watched the fear cross Marsha's face. 'That's it bitch, I'm onto you...'
"Um..yes lovely girl..ah-hem" Marsha replied fearfully, her eyes flitting round the room, as if fearing Rogue might suddenly appear. Marsha reached over and picked the stapler off the desk, and put it in her drawer. 'Just in case... come on Marsha self-control, you can do it.'
Lance snickered as he watched Marsha compulsively put the stapler away, they had just met Rogue and Gambit on the way here, with Rogue ranting that she should have 'shoved that stapler up her ass'.
"Now what exactly are these problems, you mentioned?" Marsha said trying her best to be professional, notepad at the ready.
"Well...we kind of fight on different teams, and our friends don't , like, really get along and stuff-"
"Understatement of the year" quipped Lance
"- which means that having a relationship is kind of hard, so we end up breaking up a lot."
"What do you mean by different teams?" asked Marsha
"Well were both mutants and Lance works for a crazy guy, who like thinks mutants are better then humans, and I'm on the side of a guy who thinks we should be able to co-exist peacefully." explained Kitty
Marsha noted this down, "Okay, it think I'm getting it. Lance does it bother you that Kitty calls your leader crazy?"
"Nope, he really is." Said Lance bluntly
"Ok? Hmm...right," she wrote this down too "now disapproval of friends and family is one of the main contributors of a relationship break up, so that would explain the consecutive break-ups. Tell me, when you have to fight against each other, what do you do.?"
"We usually fake fight until we can get into an abandoned building and then we make out" said Lance, a happy smile coming over his face "Hoo yea..."
"What if there are no abandoned buildings?" asked Marsha
"Hello? Mutant fights always take place on construction sites or around abandoned buildings, duh!" said Kitty
Marsha blinked "Oh yeah that's true. Okay, now as I said social disapproval can put a strain on the relationship, but seeing as you guys continuously break-up, there are probably other things as well." She handed each of them a piece of paper and a pen, "Now I want you to write down 5 things you don't like about each other, and be honest."
While they were writing, Marsha passed the time by drawing a picture of Lance for her...personal collection. Seeing as she couldn't think of a good reason for taking a Polaroid, she thanked god for her brilliant art skills, if she could have only got one of Remy too....
Kitty who had finished writing her 5 reasons put her piece of paper down, seeing as Lance still hadn't finished yet, she killed a little time by watching Marsha, who kept glancing at Lance and then back down at her paper very often. Wondering what she was concentrating so hard on, Kitty phased through the floor and then back behind Marsha, her eyes opened wide when she saw what Marsha was doing.
"WHAT THE HELL?"
Marsha jumped about 5 feet as Kitty shouted, looking up to see a very angry girlfriend, Marsha decided that the best tactic would be to run.
She jumped out of her chair as Kitty lunged for her. Kitty grabbed the pencil Marsha was using and chased her round the room with it threatening to phase it into her brain. Lance leaned over the desk to see what Marsha had been doing.
"Hey this is pretty good I never knew I was so cute" he said. Lance was just about to help the shrink, who had dived under the table as Kitty attempted to phase her through the floor, when he saw Kitty's 5 reasons on the desk.
Both Marsha and Kitty paused as the office began to shake. Lance turned towards Kitty.
"YOU THINK I'M A HOOD!?!" he shouted
"Only sometimes" answered Kitty meekly
"Oh...sorry Kitty I forgot, I'M NEVER GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU!"
"Hey don't start on me, it's not my fault you totally trashed the school parking lot, and almost killed Scott!" Kitty shouted back
"Don't even talk to me about Summers! Toad was right, he always poisons your mind against me!"
"Oh so your taking love advice from Toad now!?!" Kitty exclaimed "The guys gets thrown into a wall by Wanda, like, a hundred times everyday!"
Marsha watched the argument between the two, wondering how the hell she could make them shut up to stop the rumbling in her head, and how the hell she could make the office stop rumbling.
She watched with interest as Lance prevented Kitty from coming near him, by throwing a chair in her path, by moving the ground and not the chair.
'Ahh that explains the rumbling' she thought as she watched Kitty try to pacify Lance , who was about to walk out the door.
"Lance! Wait! I never thought you weren't good enough me!" she shouted
"Forget it, we are so through!"
Marsha decided that even though the girl had tried to kill her for no reason whatsoever, she should still do her job, besides she hadn't been paid yet.
"Wait!" she shouted, both Lance and Kitty turned on her.
"WHAT?"
Marsha led them back to their seats, "the point of the exercise was to determine why you guys keep breaking up" she noticed both had opened there mouths to continue the shouting so she hurriedly continued "However seeing as you two keep getting back together, there are probably loads of things you like about each other too. So I want you to write those down too."
Both gave her dirty looks but they did the task anyway.
While they were writing Marsha inconspicuously leaned over to Lance "So what exactly can you do with that power of yours? "she asked suggestively.
Lance gave her a 'wouldn't you like to know' look, causing Marsha to blush. A sudden growling alerted her to Kitty's presence, she decided to move this along quickly seeing as Kitty still had her pencil in her hand.
"Now swap lists" said Marsha, not taking her eyes off the pencil.
They swapped the lists.
"You think I'm cute?" they both said at the same time
"Aww, Lance you wrote I always make you smile "said Kitty happily "You are just so sweet!"
"You wrote that too!"
Both suddenly looked very loved up. As they leaned in to kiss each other Marsha blew on her fingernails 'Oh yea I'm good'
She noticed that Lance and Kitty hadn't broken away from each other yet. "Er...guys?" Instead of getting a reply she watched in horror as Kitty threw everything off her desk with one swipe, and then dragged Lance on top of it.
"I just tidied that!" exclaimed Marsha "Will you two stop groping on my desk!" Both continued to ignore her. "I'm gonna have to charge you extra if you insist on doing it on my desk you know" she shouted, hoping they were cheap.
Lance moved his hand into Kitty's back trouser pocket, pulled out a wad of notes, slammed them down on the desk and then waved his hand at Marsha, motioning for her to go away, all without removing his mouth from Kitty's.
Marsha sighed and picked up the money. "What the heck it's time for lunch anyway."
Getting her coat she strode out of her again very messy office, but not before pulling out her Polaroid camera and taking a few pictures that would definitely end up in her personal collection.
