Dance on, Kietro, Dance on!

AN: I am the Queen of Sarcasm! Ha, ha, ha! Bow down to your queen! Bow, I say! Or just REVIEW my story. Thank you soooo much requim17 for your really nice review! I always feel so good about myself after I read your reviews. I really think you're going to enjoy this chapter. As for the rest of you…

Hope you like it! The beginning is kind of crazy and the end is mostly just conversation, but I think they work well together to create a great chapter. Tell me what you think: REVIEW!

DISCLAIMER: I own nothing except for the instructor (who was not in this chapter and who I've decided to name. I won't tell you what her name is until another chapter, though. Ha ha, yes I'm evil. Even though most of you probably don't care.)

Chapter 6

"That's exactly what I said! Then I got eaten…"

Kitty stood in the middle of a circular ballroom with a dome-shaped roof and a marble floor. She was wearing a beautiful pink gown, her hair was up with small pink flowers in it, and her entire body seemed to be covered in glitter.

She heard the familiar bang of a heavy door closing and turned around to see Pietro, looking very dashing in his tux. He quickly crossed the room and held her closely in his arms. She was shocked at how…right it felt. Then they began to dance, though it felt more like flying. Kitty found that she was actually enjoying herself when the roof began to crack and crumble onto the floor. Before she knew it, a large piece of stone was falling right toward her…

Kitty woke up, sweating. Her digital clock read 6:28. She only had 2 minutes until the alarm was set to go off, so she figured she might as well get up now. She turned off the alarm and walked past a sleeping Rogue into the bathroom, while in the Brotherhood house Pietro was having a very different dream…

He was standing in an empty hallway at Bayville High. All seemed to be quiet, but that wouldn't last long. All of the doors suddenly opened and out of them came…

"Aah! Giant staplers!"

It was true. There were huge, oversized staplers coming right at him. He began to run away, but tripped over a cart full of mangos. "My only hope of survival is to throw these mangos at the staplers to try and ward them off." He began to do just that. "Ugh! It's not working! I must try something else…" He turned around and saw a tree growing in the middle of the hall. He had time to utter one word before he got eaten by a stapler and woke up. "Ginkgo?"

He sat up in bed. No, he wasn't sweating, but he was still really freaked out. He took a quick shower (superhumanly quick), got dressed, and raced downstairs for breakfast. He still had to think of a way to get Pryde to dance with him again. Maybe he could just dangle a pair of keys in front of her and while she was distracted he'd have Lance grab her and bag her. Then…no, she'd just phase out of the bag. (AN: Notice that Pietro discards this idea because he realizes that it wouldn't work, not because it is morally and ethically wrong, and most likely against the law.)

Maybe he could…maybe he could just be nice to her. What? Never! Though it would probably be the most effective way of getting her to follow me…dammit! Aw well, I'll just smile sweetly and she'll be putty in my hands. I wonder, do I have any silly putty?

Huh, interesting idea, Pietro, but what if she doesn't think you're genuine?

"How could she not? Now seriously, where is my silly putty!"

He goes off to search leaving a baffled Todd and Lance in the kitchen.

"Who was Pietro talking to just now?" Todd asked.

Lance just shrugged and went back to eating his cereal.

Oooooooooooo

Kitty was still trying to forget her dream as she sat at the breakfast table. But she just couldn't' get rid of the feeling of how much she had like it. But that's why dreams are dreams, right? 'Cause if they were reality than…everything would be chaos. Her head ached from this type of logic and she began to rub her temples.

"What's with you?" Evan asked over a plate of pancakes.

"Nothing, just a…nightmare I had."

"Do you want to talk about it?" Jean asked.

Kitty shook her head. "I don't think that that would help." What could she tell the, anyway? That she was dreaming about Quicksilver? They'd think she was going crazy, and of course Jean would have to 'help her through this'. She didn't need any help; there was nothing wrong with her. It was just…just a dream.

After breakfast they all got into Scott's car and drove to school. They arrived the same time as the Brotherhood.

"Oh great," Rogue said seeing them pile out of Lance's jeep. "It is just too early."

"Just ignore them," Jean said.

Kitty grabbed her book bag and got out of the car. "With pleasure." She began to walk towards the school when Pietro spotted her. "Kitty! Hey, Kitty, wait up!"

She wasn't given a choice because in the next millisecond the speed demon was standing in front of her. "Didn't you hear me calling you?"

She walked around him. "Yes, I did."

He followed her. "Than you didn't know it was me?"

"Yes, I knew."

"Kitty Pryde, I'm beginning to think that you were purposefully ignoring me."

She stopped and turned to look at him. "Yes, I was."

Man, he is hot! No! No, he's not! This is Pietro Maximoff, the biggest egotistical jerk in…in the universe! And the hottest. Damn! I've got to stop that."

She quickly turned away from him and kept walking. Actually, at this point it was more like jogging, but he still managed to keep up.

"You don't have to be so mean to me! Jeese! I was just trying to be nice and maybe have a normal conversation with you, but I guess you x-men don't practice what you preach."

She stopped again. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means that you guys are supposed to be all about equality and peace, but you won't stop and talk to me for one minute simply because I have different beliefs than you."

He had caught her on a technicality. "Fine, what do you just have to tell me?"

Pietro looked at the large clock in front of the school. "No time now. I'll meet you in the parking lot after school."

Kitty stomped her foot. "No, you'll tell me now!" But he had already run off.

Ooooooooooo

Rogue closed her locker and ran out of the building. She had survived another day at school. Outside, she found Kitty sitting on a bench in deep thought. "What's with you?" she asked.

Kitty blinked a few times, then she noticed Rogue standing in front of her. "Oh, hi. How long have you been there?"

"Not long," Rogue offered Kitty a gloved hand and helped her up. "C'mon, we've gotta meet Scott. We're already late."

"Okay." She followed her friend to the front of the parking lot, the she stood still. "You go ahead Rogue. I…I think I'm going to stay after today."

"Ah thought you and Kurt weren't goin' back to those dance lessons."

"We're not. I just…have a project I need to work on and the mansion isn't exactly the quietest place. Really you go on ahead, I'll see you later."

"All right. Se ya later." Rogue turned and walked to Scott's car where she informed the other Xavier students about Kitty's plans and they all went home.

Kitty watched them drive off the lot and phased through the tree she had been hiding behind. What am I doing? Lying to my friends so that I can meet up with a member of the Brotherhood…so this is what it feels like to be going insane…

She walked around aimlessly for a minute. The parking lot was far from empty, apparently a lot of people were staying late today. Soon, she came across a very sleek, black sport scar. As she stopped to admire it, she couldn't help but say, "Nice…"

"You like?" Kitty jumped. Pietro leaned against the car.

"Where did you come from?"

"Oh, I've been here for a while now, but I don't blame you for not noticing. I'm a very quiet person."

Kitty laughed. "In your dreams."

"More like in your dreams."

She suddenly got very defensive. "I don't dream about you!"

"And I don't dream about myself sitting quietly with my hands folded."

"Then what do you dream about?"

"Super-sized staplers, useless mangos, and random Ginkgo trees."

"Ginkgo?"

"That's exactly what I said! Then I got eaten…"

"You're crazy."

"I believe the word is 'eccentric'."

Kitty laughed. Without realizing it, Pietro smiled. "So you like the car?"

"It's very pretty…"

"You wanna take a spin in it?"

Her eyes widened. "What, it's yours?"

"No, it's not."

"Than you know whose it is?"

"No, I don't."

"What, are you just going to hotwire it and drive off?"

"Yes, I am."

"You know how to hotwire a car?"

"We'll soon see."

"You mean you've never even tried? What happens if the alarm goes off?"

"I run."

"Leaving me to take the blame."

"If you're half as smart as those wacky school people seem to think you are than you'll run too."

Kitty sighed and looked at the car. She would love to ride in it, but she was an x-man and had to do the right thing…dammit! "Do we have another option, preferably one that doesn't involve theft?"

Pietro thought about it. "We could walk…"

"Where to?"

"It's a surprise."

"I don't know…I mean, your version of walking and my version could be two completely different things. Besides, for all I know this place could be like a million miles away."

"It's not that far, but you're right. You do walk really slowly and you'd probably get tired…"

"What's our 3rd option?"

He began to think again. "We could take Lance's jeep…"

"He let's you use it?"

"No, but I know where he keeps his keys."

"How is that not theft?"

"It's only stealing when you don't know the person. When it's a friend's it's called 'borrowing'." Kitty gave him an unsure look. "Hey, it's not like we won't give it right back!"

She sighed. "All right. We'll 'borrow' Lance's jeep and drive off to some unknown land…man, I really am crazy."

"Nothing is going to happen to you. I've got it all planned out." He began to look around the parking lot. "Hmm…"

"What?"

"Well, Lance already left to take Todd and Freddy home. So in order to get his car, we'd have to find another mode of transportation to get to the house."

They stood in silence for a minute. Then Pietro broke it by saying, "Yes, I should have thought this out a little more, but honestly, I didn't think you'd agree to come with me."

Kitty sighed again. "Maybe we're both crazy." She started to walk away and Pietro heard her mumble, "I wish I could fly."

AN: REVIEW!
