Author's Note-

IvyZoe- Hmm... Carol, that might be interesting. And I really like the idea with the suits. Wierd, nah, professors get kidnapped by aliens all the time (or maybe that's old fat chicks named Bertha who live in trailers... whichever). Hey, and if you're an X-Man those type of things are normal.

Demonic Gambit- Yes, yes it does.

Mysteegirl- Me too, I've read some rogan that's really good, but I'm always more into Romy.

sickmindedsucker- It made perfect sense, don't worry. That's all thanks to luba's works. That's the way she always wrote Kitty/Pete.

KittyPryde2- I remember how that was. I spent all summer reading these books assigned for honors english only to discover that no one else in the class had bothered to actually finish them.

ishandahalf- I'm glad you forgive me:)

Callian- My dad had this little plaque set up beside our computer: "to err is human, to really foul things up requires a computer." It's so true. I know that if you DID do a sequel it would be great, but I also see that the ending was perfect as is.

waytoevil- Thanks!

DazzlinShorty- Well... I have been a bit busy, but I try not to let anything interfere with my writing.

A New Addition

I was so hypnotized by the smile in your eyes today
Flying free as a bird caught in every word you say
I won't ever want to see you
This is big time
This is larger than life
See the sparks fly when you're standing by my side
Every step, every move, everything I do
Life is beautiful because of you
-Meatloaf

"Let me get this straight," Pete said slowly, staring at the object in Kitty's arms. "This group of aliens-"

"The Shi'ar," Kitty supplied helpfully.

"Gave you an egg?"

"Actually they gave it to the professor," Kitty said. "But since he's busy he gave it to me."

"Right. And wot are ya goin' t' do with it? It's pretty big. It'd make a good omelet."

"Pete!"

"Wot?"

"I set up an incubator. I'm going to try to hatch it." Pete merely stared at her. "What?"

"Nothin', luv. I'm just startin' t' wonder if I've hit me head an' this is all some kinda hallucination."

Kitty smiled slowly. "Would that be bad?"

He leered down at her. "Best hallucination ever. Especially the part last night..." He trailed off and gave her a mischievous grin. Kitty blushed a little, but smiled back up at him.

"That was rather nice." He followed her up the stairs as she put the egg in the incubator and set it up.

"So... here we are, all alone in yer room," Pete mused.

Kitty giggled. "Do you ever get enough?"

"I have an idea, luv," Pete said. "Let's stay one weekend at me cabin, just the two of us and we'll find out." He flopped down on her bed and watched her as she got back to her feet. "But I sincerely doubt if I'll ever have enough of you. I love you, grasshopper."

She smiled and laid down next to him kissing him enthusiastically. "I love you too."

A week later

"It's hatching!" Kitty exclaimed. Rogue and Jubilee sat up and stared at the clock then at the excited Kitty.

"Kit, it's six o'clock in the morning," Jubilee groaned laying back down. "Go back to bed."

"Guys, the egg, it's hatching!" Her roommates exchanged glances before shrugging and getting to their feet. Kitty was completely ecstatic. "It's actually hatching!"

"Do we know what's in there?" Rogue inquired with a yawn as she knelt beside Kitty.

"No clue," Kitty said. The top of the egg popped off and soon a purple tail appeared.

"The Shi'ar gave us a tail," Jubilee said, still half asleep. Kitty rolled her eyes. The creature backed out of the egg.

"Aren't you adorable!" Kitty exclaimed. The dragon's yellow eyes sought her out and he made a soft cooing sound. "'I shall call him Lockheed and he shall be mine, and he shall be my Lockheed. Come here, Lockheed.' Ow!" she exclaimed when he nipped her finger lightly. "Okay, no baby talk."

"That's... a dragon," Rogue said slowly.

"He's an adorable purple dragon," Kitty corrected. Lockheed let her wash him then dry him. "C'mon, let's get you some food."

"Yah!" Lockheed cooed.

"He just agreed," Rogue said surprised. Kitty picked up Lockheed who crawled onto her shoulder and perched there with his head held high. Rogue and Jubilee again exchanged glances before shrugging, and following Kitty. Logan was already up and drinking a cup of coffee.

"What in the Hell is that?" he asked arching an eyebrow.

"This is Lockheed," Kitty smiled.

"He hatched from that egg," Rogue explained.

"Huh."

"What's everyone doin' up?" Remy asked, coming into the kitchen shirtless and disheveled. "Chat, y' have a dragon attached ta y', ya may want ta get dat looked at." He smiled and kissed Rogue. "Mornin', chére. What's with de dragon?"

"I see that all of you are awake to experience this beautiful new day as it commences," Hank smiled. "Did the egg hatch?"

"Yep," Kitty said.

"Fascinating. Would you mind if I ran some tests?"

"He's not a lab rat," Kitty warned.

"Of course," Hank said. "I would just like to take his temperature, test his heart-rate, that sort of thing."

"Okay," Kitty relented. "What do baby dragons eat?"

"Cat food?" Logan asked. Lockheed growled. "Dog food?" Another growl. "Bird seed?" A small jet a flame answered that question.

"Lockheed!" Kitty exclaimed. The dragon cooed apologetically and licked her cheek.

"Judging by his teeth my guess would be that you're recently hatched dragon companion is a carnivore, just feed him meat," Hank said.

"Since we're all up, Ah'll start breakfast," Rogue offered.

"Remy'll help," Remy offered, now more awake due to the miracle that was caffeine.

Five hours later

Pete walked into the mansion. Kitty ran over to him and gave him an enthusiastic kiss. Pete grinned leaning into her and pulling her even closer. "Ow!" he exclaimed when something bit the hand tangled in Kitty's hair. Pete stepped away slowly. "Pryde?"

"Pete, meet Lockheed. Lockheed, this is my boyfriend Pete," Kitty announced. Dragon and man stared at each other. Both seemed unimpressed and mildly annoyed with the meeting.

"Grr..."

"Why couldn't ya have gotten a cat like normal birds?"
