hey y'all here's chapter 9! i didn't expect to have it up this fast, but here it is! anywho, hope you're all liking Kaz and Cassie. and, for anyone who cares, i actually came up with Kaz a few hours before i wrote chapter story was always intended to be KatxOC, but who knows where it'll go now?! so enjoy chapter 9 everyone.

Kaz and Kit were sitting outside on the Bertonberger's back porch, looking at the starry night sky. "so how've things been going?" Kaz asked. Kit shrugged.

"oh, you know. pretty good".

"don't you miss our homeplanet?" Kit thought a minute.

"sometimes" she admitted. "but i like it much better here on earth". Kaz frowned.

"really? so... you wouldn't go back with me if i asked?" Kit blushed.

"well that depends. are you asking?"

"maybe" Kit giggled and Kat rolled his eyes. he was hiding behind a lawn chair, and he'd had enough of all this! it had been a week since Kaz arrived, and he'd caused nothing but trouble for Kat. "i'm serious Kit" Kaz continued, tearing Kat away from his jealous thoughts. "will you come back with me? you know i've always cared for you as more then a friend, right?" Kit sighed, biting her lower lip.

"what about Kat?" Kaz frowned.

"i don't think he likes me very much". Kit rolled her eyes.

"he's just jealous because i've been spending so much time with you. he'll get over it eventually". Kaz slid close to Kit.

"i've always loved you you know" he said quietly. "ever since we were kittens. i was just too young to realize it then. but now i do". he looked right at Kit. "come back with me Kit. together, we can leave this planet and go home, to where we belong". Kit blushed.

"you... you really love me?" she asked quietly. Kaz nodded.

"yes. always have. unless you love..."

"don't say it" Kit said, making a gagging motion. "if there's one cat i'd never fall in love with, it's him. i told you about that thing with the dog. how can i trust him again after that?" Kaz shrugged.

"i can't help you there Kit. you're going to have to figure that one out by yourself". Kit sighed and leaned against Kaz, while Kat was still hiding behind the lawn chair, fuming.

Meanwhile...

ding dong! "Coop, can you get that?" Burt called from upstairs.

"got it dad!" Coop answered, running to the door and opening it. Coop blushed. "Cassie, hi! uh, what are you doing here?" Cassie blushed.

"hi Coop. sorry to be here so late, but i can't find Kaz anywhere, and i've been all over the neighborhood! he isn't here with Kat and Kit is he?" Coop shrugged.

"i'm not sure. but we can look". Cassie smiled, and she and Coop started searching the house for Kaz. by the time they got to the backyard, they could see Kaz and Kit snuggled up next to eachother on the patio table. Cassie giggled.

"aww, isn't that sweet? looks like Kaz and Kit are in love!" Coop got a nervous feeling when Cassie said love, but he quickly shruugged it off and picked Kaz up.

"here you go" he said, handing him to Cassie. she smiled.

"oh, thanks Coop!" she set Kaz down and hugged Coop, who was blushing madly.

"uh, you're welcome". Cassie bent down and picked Kaz up again.

"thanks again Coop. see you later!" and she walked out the door, talking to Kaz the whole time. Kat had just come back into the house. he had heard everything Cassie'd said earlier, and it worried him. what if Kaz and Kit really were in love? Kat shuttered at the thought. he glanced at Kit, who was going upstairs to Coop's room. Kat sighed. he had to get Kit to like him... and fast.

so, how was it? i think it was one of the best chapters so far! and i might as well tell y'all now, but this is one of the last chapters, MEANING*insert long, dramatic drumroll here*, THIS STORY IS ALMOST OVER!! but don't worry, there's sure to be a sequel if anyone wants one. btw, quick question(this has NOTHING to do with Kit vs. Kat):has anyone seen a movie from the 50s called "The fly"? i was asking becasue i saw it for the first time last night, and i wasn't happy with the ending; let's just say it was depressing and tragic. so i'm thinking about doing a little re-write. but if no one knows what i'm talking about, or they do, and just thinks that's the stupidest idea ever, then i'm not doing it. just wondering, and don't forget to review chapter 9. and now i'm going to bed, because it's almost 1:30 in the morning here. and be on the lookout for chapter 10!
