A/N: Yes, I realize that I make you all wait forever between my updates anymore, marching season is almost over, thank goodness. I have a competition on Saturday at Marshall University and then it is just the football playoffs which are single elimination! Makes me happy! I hate football and I hate competing. Anyway, think of this as a sequel to Choosing Sides 1 and a prequel to 2, but since I'm removing 2, well you get the gist.

A/N 2: this is more a review for me than you, but please by all means R/R. It's kind of like a detailed recap on Choosing Sides, but tells the story of how they get to CS2.

Prologue- Life really does change.

Dear Diary,

I was 17 when my life went to hell, but I was 17 when I found out the true extent of the feelings that Remy and I have for each other, but that came at a grave price which I sadly had to pay: it cost my innocence, my parents and the lives of the mutants that were among many other joint prices that the others captured members of all three teams and I had to pay. I could never go back to the X-Men, even though I truly wish that pacifism was possible, I saw first hand that it was not.

I still hold onto that dream. I want for there to be a time with no war and a time when humans and mutants can live together, some things just take time.

In not even two years I went from an innocent valley girl to now being a mutant fight basically a war for the right to live, rights that every normal human takes for granted. I still remember that day two... or was it three(?) years ago when Kate and I first saw Remy and she fell in love and I just said 'He has to be a player' How that short amount of time has changed my view. I mean come one, Remy kissed me after we got back from the Bellomy's club! You can never say that it is boring. My time in New York has been a memorable one to say the least. No Kate says that she knew he was bad from day one. I remember when I vowed that I would no longer be a valley girl, but I can't even remember why now. Was it because even then I was in love with Remy? I don't know, I don't have a clue.

The prank that got Remy kicked out of the high school that he was posing in to get to me was a little much. I didn't need to listen to Kate on that at all. But the look on Sarah's face was priceless, but I thought for sure that Remy would never talk to me again, but he did. Was I just his mission then? Lately I've been second guessing myself a lot, I just wish none of this had happened, but yet I have to take the bad with the good.

Then my house burned and he proved himself to me, he and Piotr did, but even before that, my dear cousin Angie. Inadvertently, she helped me get to know him. Poor Angie, will her children even remember her, if they do what will they remember? Then my house burned and I saved Jenny who to this day is still ungrateful, and Remy and Piotr hijacked the ambulance and then the helicopter and brought me here to New York, but I don't remember that at all, I was unconscious. Meeting the Acolytes was interesting though. I'm not sure if they knew what to think of me. I was a mess, and that's being nice.

Waking up Remy to get to Bayville High was funny, I knew that I wasn't going to ride with Sabertooth, he might have stayed in one piece, but I wouldn't have. Meeting back up with Kate and slowly integrating into the X-Men was a little extreme of a mission, but it could have been worse, like when I had to keep Remy from cheating at Rummy when there was no money involved! But all of the training that I had to go through was just crap! I hated all cough most cough of that! Then there was Sarah and Pietro! Yuck!

But then Rogue was kidnapped and that threw me for a major loop. And of course Sarah and Melinda joined the Acolytes I had to be gone and when I got back I freaked out on her. Of course I did because she was all over Remy and by that time I knew that I wanted him, and that about sums it up before I went to the X-Men. Because Sarah left for the Brotherhood and then I left for the X-men.

Oh yeah, but Logan being Logan wouldn't except me because Remy and I had stolen that stupid ruby! I don't even think that Mags needed it for anything at all anyway. Getting to the mansion was a breeze. They let me in and all since technically I was one of them still, but it was fun, people take things too seriously. That was the day that I first really realized that I had feelings for him, so I just tested the waters by sitting on his lap. I think that it was a shock to him, but I just wanted to be near him, and I wanted to see how dense he was. Well, all the Acolytes aren't dense. And I was leaving the A-mansion Melinda had to ask what Remy and I were. Big mistake on my part to assume that no one would notice. Embarrassed the Hell out of me, but maybe we did deserve it. Then Asteroid M! Yuck! I hated that! It was awful, I was out of the loop on both sides, and that is never a good thing.

Then of course Sarah and her damn tricks. She just had to interfere, didn't she. Thinking that I led Remy on(which I did, kind of)! Leading someone on is when you have no intentions of being with them! Saying that I was cheating on him! Crazy girl! And that damn bracelet! Geez, everyone hates my powers, don't they? They always want them just try to take them. It is so stupid. But fighting her! I loved it! Verbal is just as fun as physical, and can be just as draining. It is interesting, but I love fighting her. It's always so up in the air as to who will be the victor, and even though that time Pietro stepped in and actually knocked her out. And Forge, the guy we can't always count on got it off.

Geez... this is one long diary entry. Remy's waking up, so I guess that I'll finish this later. He is so cute when he's asleep. We haven't made any plans for the wedding yet, but I'm not 18, and nothing is right inside my head yet, I don't want to get married until the nightmares stop, but that may be never....

Kitty

"Mon chere... another nightmare?" Remy asks turning over and wrapping his arms around her.

"No." Kitty says honestly as she closes her journal and slides back down from her sitting position and putting away her reading light. "I'm just watching you sleep. You're gorgeous, have I ever told you that?"

"Hmmm... Remy can think of a few times. But Mon Chere Remy thinks dat you're de magnifique(gorgeous) one. How often does he have ta tell ya dat?"

"At least once more." Kitty says kissing Remy and curling up against his bare chest. (A/N- who wants to picture Remy this way? Who thinks he'd be just gorgeous?) "Good Night."

"Good Night, Mon beau cher." ("My beautiful dear one.")

"Remy... sometimes you're a little too flattering, but I love you nonetheless, I don't know what I would ever do without you." Kitty says sleepily.

"Remy doesn't ever want ya ta have ta know." Remy says as he watches her sleep. "Happy birthday mon chere." He says kissing the top of her head.

Ok, there is more to come, if I get any reviews! Geez... isn't that cute little button calling you?
