Tegan smiled to herself. "I feel so…"

"Filthy? Me too," Kurt chuckled, coming from behind her.

Tegan shrugged. "Not what I was going for, but it'll work."

Kurt smiled at her. Even caked in mash potatoes and pudding and God knows what else, she was still beautiful.

Tegan blushed under his gaze. "Uh…you got a carrot in your hair."

Kurt smiled and took it out. "Thanks, Kitty missed Lance vhen she threw her plate."

Tegan giggled, and then put a hand on his furry blue cheek. "You'd better wash the food off of you so you're fur doesn't get all icky."

Kurt loved the feeling on her smooth hand on his fur. He stuttered. "Uh, y-yeah, I should do that. Vell, I'll see you later, Tegan."

Tegan smiled. "See you later, Kurt."

It was only when Tegan was all showered off and dressed when the memory of the day came rushing back to her.

She had been so close to Kurt! His cheek and brushed hers. Tegan could feel his fur, even with the hologram on. She blushed madly. How could she not notice? And just then, she had put her hand on his cheek.

Tegan was surprised at herself, but also, she was a little proud of herself.

She blushed happily and replayed the day again and again in her mind.

--*--*--

"And then she put her hand on my cheek!" Kurt said to Kitty and Evan. He sighed. "But, vhat should I do know? Should I ask her out? Vould she say yes?"

Evan shrugged but Kitty said, "It's way too early, I think you should just try to get some natural alone time with her first."

"But, how?"

Kitty thought for a second, then smiled. "I can handle that."

--*--*--

"…and then this major food fight broke out! It was so cool!"

Jake laughed. "Well, you certainly aren't the little doe I once knew."

"I'll always been your little doe, Jake."

"Thanks…you know, this Kurt seems like a really nice guy."

Tegan heard a knock on her door. "Oh, gotta go Jake! Bye!"

She opened the door to see Kitty. "Kitty! Thanks a bunch, my brother was about to go into these weird parentish talks he's always trying to have with me."

Kitty smiled, "You're welcome. Hey, everybody's going to the park and they wanted me to bring you. So, like, you in?"

Tegan nodded. "Sure!"

--*--*--

The park was partly empty, aside from a few runners and such.

Tegan looked around. "Where is everybody?"

Kitty shrugged. "I don't know…it's totally strange." Kitty looked at her watch. "Oh, like, I totally forgot I have to do something today. So…bye!"

Tegan called after her as she ran off. "But what am I supposed to do here by myself?"

"Don't worry; Kurt's going to show up soon."

Tegan blushed, and then smiled. Kitty was trying to give them alone time.

Tegan waited for a few minutes, then got bored and walked around, singing to herself.

"Wouldn't it be nice if we were older?

Then we wouldn't have to wait so long!

And wouldn't it be nice to live together,

In the kind of world where we belong!"

Tegan smiled at the memory of her brother singing it to her when she was little. But now it had new meaning. She was a mutant now, and it would be amazing if she could live in a world where mutants belonged.

She sighed and sat down. She made wind cercal around her finger, and then made it weave through her fingers.

She stood up again. She didn't want to be all depressed when Kurt got here. She took a deep breath and sung the song other again, remembering the good times with her brother.

"It vould be nice," Kurt said as she finished the first part.

Tegan jumped and spun around. She blushed. "Oh, um…you heard me singing?"

Kurt smiled, "Yes,"

Tegan blushed harder and looked away.

"I think you have a beautiful voice!" he said in a hurry. He didn't want her to be embarrassed around him.

Tegan looked at him and smiled. "Thanks,"

There was an awkward silence.

Kurt took a step closer. "Vell, vhat do you vant to do?"

Tegan shrugged, than looked at the sky. It was settling into twilight. She got an idea.

"Let's go into the woods,"

Kurt smiled. "Okay,"

She hesitated, than thought, Don't be a doe, don't be a doe! She took his hand in hers and ran off with him.

She kept running until they were deep in the woods, then turned to him and said, "Kurt…would you mind if…well…umm…"

Kurt looked her straight in the eye. "Vhat is it?"

Tegan swallowed. Just say it! He's not going to think you're weird or anything. "Would you…turn off the hologram you?"

Kurt was startled. "But…vhy?"

Tegan couldn't stop blushing. "Well, it's just…well…I like the blue you!" She said it quickly and turned way, completely embarrassed.

But Kurt was on cloud nine. "Really?"

Tegan nodded. "Yes,"

He smiled and before he knew it he gathered her up in his arms and hugged her closely. "Thank you, you have no idea how much that means to me. But…vhy do you?"

Tegan looked up at him. Since she wasn't hyped, she could feel her cheeks turn a deeper red as she looked into his eyes.

"I think it's cute," she smiled at him.

He smiled and turned off his hologram self, carefully so he wouldn't have to let go of Tegan. Tegan was glad for that. She didn't want him to let go yet. She loved his sent. It smelt like blueberries and mint.

Tegan smiled at his blue furry face. "That's better,"

It was then they realized they were so close to each other's lips.

Kurt could barley breath. Should I kiss her? Vould it be too soon?

Tegan was thinking the same thing when a voice said mockingly, "Oh! Teggy's got boyfriend."

Tegan jumped out of Kurt's arms and turned around. She knew that voice…but…from where?

Out of the shadows stepped a young woman, wearing a red skirt and a black tank-top, glaring at them.

She smiled. "Hey, Tegan, remember me?"

Tegan racked her brain. She knew her! But…she couldn't remember. "No, I don't."

The girl sighed. "Pitty, maybe this'll help!" The sent an electric wave towards Tegan.

Kurt grabbed her and 'ported out of the way.

They appeared behind her. Tegan was disoriented from teleporting, but the woman's powers made something in her memory spark.

The woman turned around. "So, Blue Boy's got a power too? Other than being ugly, that is."

Tegan glared at her. "Shut up!" She sent a burst of air towards her, making her bash into a tree.

The woman slid down the tree. "Ooo! That hurt. But not as much as I would have hoped. You're week Tegan."

"Who are you?!" Tegan screamed at her. The fact that she couldn't remember was so painful to her for some reason.

"Try to remember!" The woman sent another electric wave.

Tegan jumped to one side, than she made a small hurricane and sent it toward her. When it was less than two feet away Tegan enlarged it.

The woman realized too late what Tegan had done, and was trapped in the hurricane.

The trees started to bend and shift as the wind came to Tegan.

Kurt teleported next to her. "Tegan, let's go!"

"Not yet!" She yelled. "Who are you?!" She yelled at the woman.

Instead of an answer, she sent an electric wave towards her.

At least Tegan thought it was towards her.

It hit Kurt square in the chest, sending him flying.

"Kurt!" Tegan screamed and the hurricane stopped. She ran to his side. The sight of his crimson blood on his blue fur was too much.

"Kurt," she fought back tears, "Are you okay?"

Kurt could only groan.

The woman laughed. "Aw, look what you did."

That was it.

"SHUT UP!" Tegan ran for her, and then gathered up energy in her hands.

She pulled them together and something strange happened.

Fire when at the woman. Not Air.

Tegan gasped.

The woman dodged it. "Now, that's the Tegan I remember. Well, my times up. See ya later," She ran off into the woods and was soon gone from sight.

Tegan stood there for a moment, looking at her hands.

It was only when she heard a groan from Kurt she snapped back.

She ran to him. "Kurt! Are you okay?"

Kurt opened his eyes. "Tegan……your eyes….they're red."
