Hey all, sorry this is so late, soon I shall be done with all this uni work, then I can write again. And what lesson has Todd Fan learned? Try to write the bloody things the moment she gets them instead of trying to fit them all into the space of three weeks. Ahem, yes...

ACT FIVE - A proposal

----------

We see Forge and Kitty's cottage, where Colossus and Pyro are watching from the grass

"Heh, oh boy". grins Pyro, rubbing his hands together, "Kitty's gonna get the surprise of her life, huh, Piotr?".

"Yep, this is her lucky day". says Piotr with a grin, standing.

He walks off, letting a branch hit Pyro in the back of the head, knocking him to the ground. Pyro groans, sitting up before following the metal guy. They get to a clearing, where a band and wedding guests are assembled

"I'd like to thank you all for coming to my wedding", says Piotr, "But first I better go in there and...propose to the girl!".

We see everyone laugh, bar Amara, Danielle and Amanda, who are crying.

"Now, you Pyro", says Piotr, turning to his sidekick, "when Kitty comes out that door....".

"Oh, I know! I know!", says Pyro excitedly, "I strike up the band!".

He starts the band up, who play the wedding march, Colossus slams a barritone over Pyro's head

"Not yet, you idiot!". he growls.

"Sorry", comes a muffled Austrailian reply.

Inside the cottage, Kitty is reading her book. She looks up at a knock on the door and gets up. She pulls down a viewing device and groans when she sees Colossus. She opens the door with a sigh, putting on a fake smile.

"Piotr, what a pleasant...surprise", she says with a grimace.

"Isn't it though?", says Piotr, striding in, "I'm just full of surprises. You know, Kitty, there's not a girl in town who wouldn't love to be in your shoes. This is the day....".

He pauses, looking at himself in a mirror before looking back at her.

"Again, I am really not this vain!", says Piotr, before clearing his throat, "This is the day your dreams come true".

"What do you know about my dreams, Piotr?", says Kitty, rolling her eyes.

"Plenty", says Piotr, "Here, picture this...".

He plops down onto a chair and puts his muddy feet up on the table, soaking her book. He kicks off his books, while Kitty watches with a disgruntled look

"A rustic hunting lodge, my latest kill roasting on the fire, and my little wife, massaging my feet", Piotr wriggles his feet, "while the little ones play with the dogs. We'll have six or seven".

"Dogs?", tries Kitty, prying her book loose.

"No, Kitty", says Piotr, standing up, "Strapping boys, like me!".

"There are equal chances of you getting girls as you have b....", starts Kitty.

"And do you know who that little wife will be?", grins Piotr.

"Let me think.....", mutters Kitty, putting her book away.

"You, Kitty". says Piotr joyfully, cornering her.,

Kitty ducks under Colossus' arms

"Pitor, i'm speechless. I really don't know what to say....", she says, trying to avoid him.

Colossus stumbles over some chairs and stuff before cornering Kitty by the door

"Say you'll marry me", he says.

Kitty starts to reach for the door handle

"I'm very sorry, Pitor", she says, releasing the handle, "but I just don't deserve you".

She opens the door, ducking under Colossus, so he falls out into the mud. The band begin to play the wedding march, as Kitty opens the door again, tossing Colossus' boots outside before slamming it shut again. Pyro cuts off the band and Colossus sits up, a pig on his head. The pig squeals and falls off him.

"Stupid question I know", says Pyro, giving him a poke, "...but how did it go?".

Colossus gives a snarl, picking up Pyro

"I will have Kitty as my wife, make no mistake about that!", he snaps, dropping Pyro in the mud and storming off.

"Tooooooouchy!", says Pyro, waving his arms.

The rest of the party move off and Kitty peeks outside again.

"Is he gone?", she asks a chicken, "Can you imagine, he asked me to marry him? Me, the wife of that....".

She shakes her head, walking into a paddock of goats, kicking over a bucket, beginigng to sing.

Madame Piotr, can't you just see it?

Madame Piotr, his little wife?

No sir, not me, I guarentee it

I want much more than this provincal life

She feeds the animals before running into a field, looking at the wide valley of...err..Bayville bellow her, singing.

I want adventure in the great wide somewhere

I want it more than I can tell

She sighs, sitting down, pucking up a dandelion, letting it loose into the wind, singing quietly.

And for once it might be grand

To have someone understand

I want so much more than they've got planned......

Suddenly Jott runs into the field, still attached to the cart

"Big nasty teeth", screams Scott.

"Bats, bats!", screams Jean.

"Jott?", says Kitty, sitting up, "What are you doing here? Where's papa?"

"Ohhhhh...", Scott clears his throat, "darn, I knew we forgot something".

"Where is he, Jott?", asks Kitty with a frown, "What happened?".

"We may have left him to be eaten by three mean nasty feral mutants", says Jean sheepishly, "sorry. Best to move on".

"Oh, we have to find him, you have to take me to him!, says Kitty, unhitching Jott's cart, jumping on his/her back.

"Back in those scary woods?", says Scott, "You gotta be kidding me!".

Kitty gives Jott a swift kick, before galloping off towards the woods.

There we go, please do review...please
