Scott made a large splash when he ended up in the water. He came to the surface and shook the water out of his hair while holding on to his glasses. Searching for Kitty he couldn't find her anywhere and yelped when he felt a tug on his leg. She waved at him from underneath. He smiled at her and she poked her head out from the water and grinned.

"This is great," she said and just relished in the cool, calm spring.

"I just learned this a few weeks ago when I visited Alex," Scott said and lay on his back. He floated on top of the water and Kitty watched as his chest rose and fell in precision. She decided to attempt it to, but when she got to her back she just ended up sinking. Scott laughed. "Here I'll show you."

He put his hands under back and knees and pulled her to the surface, her body grazing the top of the water. "Now breathe calmly, don't get nervous or think too much, you'll just sink," Kitty took in deep, calm breaths. She allowed her lungs to take in the air in a repetitive motion, not too fast and not too slow. She slowly felt her body begin to lose its weight and she felt light as a feather. Suddenly the only thing she felt was water overwhelming her body.

She came to the surface and coughed and sputtered. "Why'd ya let me go?" She looked at him angrily and brushed the wet hair out of her face. Scott was blushing fiercely.

"It was an accident," he mumbled and pulled himself out of the water. While he held her his thoughts had begun to stir in ways that weren't right. He had a girlfriend and she was too young for him. He shouldn't have even been contemplating her in that way. He had dropped her out of shock when his eyes had begun to move on their own accord across her body. "I think it's time to get back. Logan told me something about a simulation that he wanted to work on."

Without thinking he pulled his clothes over his wet body. Kitty was more wary of doing so but she really didn't have a choice. So she just mopped herself up as best as she could with the hem of her dress and pulled the dress over her shivering body. They drove to the mansion in silence.

The sweat poured down Scott's face, he had just finished battling Sabertooth, the assimilation anyway, without any help. He had used all his strength to go through the first seven and was about to call out the eighth when Logan shouted for the assimilation to cancel.

"Are ya tryin' ta kill yourself kid? Because if you are don't use my programs to do it," Logan held out his hand and Scott just looked at it and fell to the floor exhausted. Logan decided to sit by him and wait for the kid to talk.

"Logan, I think," Scott began and closed his eyes, though Logan couldn't see it. "I think that I don't think." He ended lamely. He wouldn't, couldn't tell him what was going on. Logan being Logan sensed that and dropped the subject.

"Take a shower and get to bed Slim. You've got school tomorrow and this in itself was a bad idea." Logan left the room and Scott stood up slowly and winced as the pain began to settle in his bones.

Kitty stared at the back of the box of cereal. She chewed graciously and her eyes every now and than darted to the door waiting for Scott to walk into the room. It wasn't like him to sleep so late. He was usually up by six thirty in the morning. She ate her cereal rushed after ten minutes and three bowls later and dashed up the stairs to his room. Phasing her head in, she saw a curled up ball in the corner.

"Scott?" she called out softly and made her way over to the bed. Pulling back the comforter she looked at his bruised face and winced. She touched his face gingerly and ran her fingers down his smooth back. She was about to get up when the door opened. Guiltily she turned around and found herself looking at Jean.

"Hi Kitty, how's he doing?" Jean asked sweetly. Kitty sighed in relief.

"Um, I don't know, but he looks pretty messed up Anyway, I gotta get to school, so I'll, like, check up on him later," she said and phased quickly through the floor. Jean shrugged her shoulders and placed the cup of water and aspirin on his table to take when he woke up.

Kitty yawned loudly in the class she shared with Scott for the third time. The teacher sent her a glare and Kitty rolled her eyes. The door opened and a bruised and tired Scott walked into the classroom. He gave the teacher a late pass and made his way to the back sitting next to her. Kitty pulled a sheet of paper out of her notebook and passed him a note.

'What in heaven's name are you doing in school?' she wrote. Scott pulled his notebook and pen out of his book bag and wrote back, wincing at every movement his hand made.

'I do have a reputation to uphold,' he wrote back. Kitty rolled her eyes.

'You are not a mail man, coming to school whether rain or shine is not part of your job description,' she looked over at him and saw his smile. She just sighed. They paid attention (or tried to anyway) to the rest of the class and left when the bell rang. Kitty saw Scott's eyes droop and looked around before phasing them out of the building.

"What the heck are you doing?" Scott asked, surprised at her behavior.

"We're going home, you shouldn't even, like, be in school," she said, and pulled him to his car. She seated him in the passengers sighed and happily made her way to the drivers.

"You are not driving my car," he mumbled. Kitty's grin said otherwise. She drove the car, phasing through massive amounts of danger as Scott (thankfully) slept through the whole ordeal. She parked the car in the garage and put his arm around her shoulder. She half dragged him to his room and lay him on his bed. Exhausted from doing the work on her own she flopped down on his bed as well. She turned to him and saw him sleeping like a baby. Without realizing it, she drifted off to sleep as well.
