Disclaimer: I don't own them. Sadly, I never have.

A/N: Originally, I was going to make one big chapter. But in the end, I decided that I'd just post this as a short chapter instead. Don't worry, I've got the next chapter started already, so it shouldn't be too long before I post that. Anyway, what's happening is necessary to the story, plus I promised to be nicer to Evan. And those of you who know me or have heard…er, read…the way I talk about Evan, know what it was like for me to write this. It was weird and strange and I'm just going to let you get on to the chapter. Read, enjoy, and please review!

Kitty was going to scream.

She didn't think she'd ever met anyone more frustrating than Kurt and Wanda. When were they going to realize that they liked each other already? Better yet, when were they going to admit it? Wanda was already half way there since she had realized it. But had she done a thing about it since then?

No, of course not.

Why would she? That'd make things easier for Kitty. She sighed. She knew that Wanda wouldn't want her to interfere but maybe it was about time she did.

Maybe she should call Lance for help.

Kitty grinned at the thought of Lance playing matchmaker and barely contained the giggle that wanted to escape. That picture just didn't work in her mind. But then again, Lance could be pretty good at giving advice. And since it was about Wanda, she knew that he'd give her advice. If she worked at it, she might even get him to help her set up Kurt and Wanda.

Her decision made, Kitty turned and headed back to her room and dropped on her bed. Grinning, she picked up her phone and dialed the number that she knew by heart. She settled back as she waited for someone to pick up on the other end.

"Hello?"

"Hey Lance." Kitty said, glad that it had been Lance to answer the phone. The last time she'd called, Toad had answered and it had taken forever for Lance to come on the line. Something about Blob, a hose, and a cat. She so didn't want to know. He'd sounded very frustrated that day. Today, she could practically hear him smile.

"Hey Kitty. What's up?" he asked.

"I need your help."

"Whoa, watch out! Coming through!" Evan exclaimed as he maneuvered his way through the crowd on his skateboard.

Today was a good day so far. He and Pietro had pretty much managed to stay out of each other's way. The sky looked pretty clear, which meant that he could stay out longer than usual. And he had managed not to crash into anyone.

Almost as soon as he had that thought, Evan collided with someone.

"Aw man!" he said as he sat up. That just figured. The only thing that could make this worse was if he had just collided with Pietro.

"Are you okay?"

Okay, that definitely wasn't Pietro. Not only would Pietro have already told Evan to watch where he was going but that was definitely not a guy. Wasn't that just great?

Almost dreading who he would see Evan looked up, surprise flickering over his face.

"Amanda?" he asked. She smiled a bit.

"Hi. Are you okay?" she repeated. He nodded, standing up before helping her to stand as well.

"Yeah. I'm fine. What about you? Are you hurt?" She didn't look hurt but you never knew.

She shook her head, brushing the dirt off her pants before looking back up at him.

"Nah. Just a bit startled. I wasn't expecting to run into you." She smiled sheepishly. "Literally." Evan shrugged.

"Don't worry about it. It was more my fault anyway. I'm just glad you weren't Pietro." he said wryly. "I really didn't want to deal with him today." She laughed.

"No, I'm definitely not Pietro."

"Hey, why don't I buy you a soda?" Evan suggested suddenly. "You know, to make up for running you over." Amanda hesitated.

"I don't know…"

"Just as a friend. Promise." he added, seeming to know why she was hesitating in the first place. Yeah, she and Kurt were no longer together or anything but he wouldn't want Kurt to think that they were sneaking around as a couple behind his back. Amanda nodded.

"Sure. I'd like that." she said with a smile.

Over two hours later, Amanda laughed at something Evan had said. They were still sitting in the same booth and they'd done nothing but sit there and talk. Who knew that they had so much in common?

"Are you serious?" she asked, still laughing. Evan nodded.

"Yeah. Rogue was about ready to kill me and Kurt." He grinned. "As a matter of fact, she almost did. We got lucky." Amanda giggled at the image that brought to mind. Their laughter faded as they looked at each other and silence fell between the two. Slowly, Evan leaned forward and pressed his lips against Amanda's.

When he pulled back, Amanda's eyes were wide and he scooted back a bit in his seat.

"Sorry…I know I said it was just as friends. I couldn't help it though." He shifted a bit as he looked across at her. Amanda slowly nodded before smiling.

"Actually…that's okay." She said. "I…I liked it." Evan's brows went up in surprise and a bit of confusion.

"Huh?"

As if to prove her point, Amanda leaned forward and kissed Evan this time.

Neither of them noticed Kurt watching them with a shocked expression from across the street.
