Kitty stared at the night sky from her balcony long legs draped over the side of it dangling. A gentle wind pushed her brown hair past her face as she sighed… That flaming haired vixen had a point… Her mind reverted back to the conversation after dinner.

"You know what is funny?" Jean asked as Kitty looked up at to her, "What?" Jean stopped to admire the garden.
"I know I am no professor but, in my time I have noticed the most beautiful things in life are short lived." Kitty rose a brow listening as she swung her arms behind her back tilting her head as she saw Jeans fingers graze a flower. "Either way they die, everything does… but imagine… to take something so beautiful and have it to yourself for as long as you could."
Kitty tilted her head at Jean. "J-…" She was cut off by the vixen spinning around and pointing her finger against Kitty's forehead. "Would you rather watch him die alone or with someone else who won't understand or take care of him?" "I-." Kitty paused biting her lower lip. Jean hugged the kitten, "Just think about it… You never know what you have until it's gone… forever…" Kitty could tell she was speaking from experience.

Blue eyes stared up at the same moon a certain fuzz ball was looking at. The same thoughts echoed through their heads the entire night. Kurt was making his way back to his room as he walked past the Kitten's room stopping for a moment his fingers went for the door knob. Kitty looked over her shoulder her lips parting as she heard someone. Kurt stopped and squeezed his eyes shut and tore his face from the door poofing away. Kitty ran to the door yanking it open only to see no one… her heart ached as she felt it drop. "Go to sleep Kitty… you need it…" She whispered as she closed the door pressing her forehead against the door sighing and then heading off to bed.

A few weeks later, the sun was blazing today as the younger kids decided to play outside some were at the pool as Logan was lifeguard on duty as the other students were practicing in the ball room. The wedding was that Saturday. Kitty and Kurt had become experts at the dance as if it was second nature and they shared so much chemistry they were model students and decided to help other students in the meantime and by now everyone was great and synchronized.
Storm clapped her hands together getting everyone's attention. "Alright munchkins listen up!" Everyone crowded around Kitty stood next to Jean, Kurt next to Bobby. "That'll be it! Practice on your own, I'll see you all in two days! For the big day!" Everyone clapped a few kids cheered and congratulated Storm on their way out. Kitty waiting standing still as everyone passed her. Blue eyes looking to Storm the older woman looked to her. "Kitty I wanted to show you something." The girl nodded and followed after her. Kurt watched her leave holding his towel and water bottle. Bobby scoffed. "What?" Kurt said "Nothing," Bobby chuckled patting Kurt on the back and walking with Cyclops out. "He's got it bad." "Tell me about it." "H-hey I can hear you!" Kurt ran after them.
Kitty followed Storm into her room as she closed the door behind her. "What's up?" Storm headed over to her walk in closet and all the way in the back another door, she put her hand on it scanning it as it opened slowly. Hanging in the midst of the dim lit closet a long beautiful white dress decorated in the most beautiful crystals and beads sleeveless and long. Kitty's eyes got as large as saucers her hands smacked over her mouth. Her vision began to blur as she whipped her eyes "S-storm I-it's beautiful…." She looked over to her and jumped on the motherly like figure hugging her, her own feet dangling. Storm giggled holding the kitten in her arms. "I thought you should see it, so you can help me into it, you know on the big day." Kitty bit her bottom lip and shook her head rapidly as she walked to the dress her hands running down the expensive silky fabric. "Oh my goodness it's gorgeous…" Storm smiled.
Suddenly they heard the alarm go off in the mansion and Professor speak to them in their minds "Suit up and head for the jet… we've got problems by the port." Kitty and Storm looked at each other the silver haired woman slammed the doors shut to her secrete closet and then headed into the other clothes. Kitty shot out the door phasing through people and straight for her room phasing out of her old clothes and into her fighting suit. Within five minutes everyone was in the Jet and it took off.
"Alright team." Cyclops began, "We have the usual movement of weapons being imported and we can't let a certain group of mischief get to them so we're showing up to make sure everything goes smoothly." Logan scoffed and Kitty smirked a bit. Cyclops rolled his eyes as he sat down next to Jean again and within a few minutes they landed.
Storm and Beast were paired on the north end, Jean and Cyclopes on the south end, Logan and Bobby west and Kitty and Kurt on the east side.
Kitty remained silent as she watched the unloading and the side of the boat to make sure no one was being suspicious. Kurt was looking to the waters and the skies he looked over at her admiring her. He felt his heart beat and his breath shorten. 'Just talk to her…' He thought to himself he used to have such fluid conversations with her as if it was nothing but now that he recognized his feelings he couldn't help it he was tongue tied and at a loss for words it's as if he forgot how to be himself around her. "Kitty I-…" Kitty turned around to look at him when she saw a large rock heading for the back of his head. "Kurt!" She shouted wrapping her arms around him making them phase through the rock. Pulling him out of the rock she looked in the direction it was thrown and she growled slightly. "Sabre tooth…" She ran at full speed towards him. Pressing the head set she spoke. "I got trouble on the East port side…"The head piece buzzed as she heard Storm confirm. "I got a Toad over here as well…" Kitty smirked. "Looks like you bought the gang… Mystique…" She muttered as she knew Mystique would end up fighting Logan as always.
Pulling her Taser gun out from her pocket she ran head first for Sabre tooth and phased through him only to turn around and taze him. "Kurt! Now!" The taze wouldn't knock him out for long. Kurt appeared on the back of Sabre tooth and placed a shock collar around him and jumped off standing in front of Kitty his hand out as if protecting her. Kitty's eyes dragged up his arms up to his face as she bit her lip slightly. The beast woke up and growled going to attack them and Kurt smirked pressing a button shocking him and knocking him out again. "Nice." Kitty giggled and pressed her head set. "All clear."
Storm responded "Wow record time you two." Kitty giggled rubbing the back of her head looking up at Kurt who gently smiled at her. "You know that's just great guys, a little assistance wouldn't be too bad over here though…" A certain grouchy Logan grunted through the head piece. Kitty giggled and Kurt opened his arms for her. "Your carriage awaits m'lady." Kitty blushed and walked towards him holding onto his tight jumpsuit as she looked up at him, her wrapped his arms around the small of her back and looked up his face getting rather serious as he poofed to the location Logan was and ducked as a certain wolverine was thrown over head. Kitty spun around seeing Mystique… She growled and Kurt put a hand on her stopping her and motioning as Storm and Beast appeared and Jean and Cyclopes appeared. "Give up Mystique you're out numbered. The woman suddenly seemed distressed as Logan came out of the rubble walking rather angrily towards the blue woman. Clenching her teeth she turned and took off in a sprint, Logan went to go run after her but Jean stopped him. "Fight another day…" He growled and stormed to the jet being as the exchange was done. Kitty giggled at his anger and they all boarded the jet taking off.
After the team arrived they all pooled out and Kurt ran after Kitty, "Hey Katzchen," She turned around her bright blues looking into his gold eyes the ones that sent shivers down her spine. "Yes Kurt?" She asked he froze for a moment and then cleared his throat. "H-hey great job today a-and thanks for saving me…" Kitty smiled and nodded patting his bicep. "We are a great team Kurt." She turned around and began to walk away. Jeans words echoed in her head , and not because of her powers, beauty to myself… She looked over her shoulder to see him looking at the ground. She held herself and ran to her room.
She had to figure this thing out and fast, before the wedding… she had two days.
