A/N: Well what can I say? I'm so totally happy that you guys are enjoying the story. I hope with all my enthusiasm to please you guys, it doesn't start to get too sucky but I know I can trust you guys to tell me right? Thanks to all of you who reviewed - cake and ice cream for everyone, and a little Justin Timberlake on the side! Anyways I hope you like this chapter just as much as the others and continue to review because they all inspire me to do better. Gosh I feel like a politician - okay no more speeches.

As usual - I don't own X Men Evolution.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*
Kitty walked up the stairs tiredly, bags dragging carelessly behind her - her mind wandering to a hot shower and a comfortable bed. She smiled to herself - she was in heaven. Continuing on her lethargic trek to her room, she noticed that the mansion was unusually quiet. She squinted her eyes and then shrugged it off, sort of glad to have the place all to herself.
As Kitty approached her bedroom door, she noticed that the cord from the hallway phone ran under the closed and possibly locked door. She furrowed her brows and dropped her bags, phasing quietly into the room.
Kitty was all stoked to sneak up on Rogue and scare the crap out of her but she stopped short when she overheard the Goth's conversation. She was talking to... Pietro. But why?
Kitty swallowed hard. She knew it was wrong, she knew it wasn't any of her business - she knew that she should just turn right around and leave the room but... she couldn't. She couldn't make herself move, no matter how hard she tried - not when it came to Pietro.
Kitty made herself transparent once again and stood still; ready to make a quick exit if necessary.
"Can yuh meet meh tomorrow Pietro?" Rogue smiled wickedly.
"Great... 10 am by the lake in the park."
"Yuh wanna know why? Ah'll... uh... ah'll explain everythin' tomorrow. Just promise meh yuh'll be there."
"Sweet. Ah'll see yuh tomorrow. Bye."
Rogue put the phone down and got off her bed. Kitty panicked and tripped over the phone wire, landing on the floor with a loud thud. Rogue spun around.
"Kitty! Yuh..." she cleared her throat, "yuh... um scared me."
Kitty shot up and narrowed her eyes at Rogue. *Play it cool Kitty. You can't let her know you were listening. Oh gosh, please make this work!*
"Rogue why was the door locked? What were you doing in here?" She folded her arms.
Rogue searched around nervously. "Ah wasn't doing anything."
*Great, it's working!* Kitty mentally did a little happy dance. "Then why was the door locked?"
Rogue squinted. "What is this? An interrogation? Besides yuh can phase, why are yuh complaining?"
Kitty smiled coyly. "What have you got to hide? Are you seeing someone? Is it Scott, Remy, a guy named Fred?" (A/N: That joke would have been much funnier if Blob's name wasn't Fred!)
Rogue chuckled. "Have yuh inhaled anythin' Kitty? And ah'm not hidin' anythin'. Ah just didn't realise the door was locked - that's all. Now would yuh just drop it!"
"Okay for now. But when you least expect," Kitty narrowed her eyes suspiciously, " I'll drag it out of you - and that's a promise Rogue.
Rogue smiled at the young Shadowcat as she phased through the bedroom door and came back with an arm full of shopping bags.
"Looks like yuh made a killin' Kit. Did you leave anything in the mall?"
"Yeah I like got some real good stuff. Although I still didn't have a chance to buy my dress for the dance thanks to Pi..." Kitty stopped short.
Rogue stared at her. "Thanks to Pi - who?"
Kitty chuckled nervously and bit her lower lip. "Thanks to Peter, you know the guy from the football team. He was uh... he was bugging me to go out with him again."
"Are yuh serious? Peter? The goofy kid with the even goofier laugh Peter? The football team's water boy Peter? Yuh mean that Peter?" Rogue snickered.
Kitty was getting annoyed. "Yes Rogue that Peter!"
Rogue burst out laughing. Se fell to the floor laughing. She started to cry laughing.
Kitty smiled. She couldn't remember the last time she had seen Rogue this happy. It almost made her forget about what just happened between her and Pietro - the operative word being almost. Her smile quickly faded. She sighed and walked to the bathroom, leaving Rogue there - laughing like a maniac.
****************************************************************************
THE NEXT DAY...
Kitty hid behind a rose bush, swatting the leaves out of her face and trying to "listen" or rather eavesdrop on the present conversation. She eyed Rogue and Pietro on the park bench, Pietro's arm around Rogue's shoulders. Her stomach churned. When she went to bed last night, this had seemed like such a good idea but now she wasn't so sure. Spying on your best friend and her possible "boyfriend" - that's beyond obsession - it's psychotic.
Swiping another branch out the way she fought hard to catch up. But no matter how hard she tried she couldn't hear everything - only bits and pieces
PIETRO: On a date.
ROGUE: Promise yuh won't be sorry.
PIETRO: Alright when?
ROGUE: Whenever yuh want to.
Kitty got distracted when she heard a buzzing sound. *What was that?* She moved some branches away and saw a bee buzzing around. *Oh no a bee - I'm allergic!*
Kitty stayed positively still as the bee buzzed around her head. She squeezed her eyes shut, hoping, praying that the bee would just go away....
It didn't. The bee flew onto Kitty's candy pink tank top and rested comfortably. *Oh man I'm wearing perfume! And just my luck it smells like flowers!*
Kitty squealed lightly as the bee moved up her top and onto her bare skin. She slowly moved her hand up to her chest and swatted furiously. *I missed, I can't believe I missed!* The bee was now buzzing much harder, obviously peeved.
Kitty swung her arms around maniacally but to no avail. When she least expected it, the bee struck in three places - her upper arm, her wrist and her index finger. She screamed and fell backwards onto her butt. The tears slid slowly down her cheeks as she scrambled up. She glanced over to where Pietro and Rogue sat and noticed that they were no longer there. They were up and moving towards her - and they were approaching very fast.

A/N: So was it good? I can handle it. Tell me the truth. Next chapter up soon - the more reviews I get the quicker I'll be inspired to post it. UNT (Until Next Time)...
