Yin: From now on, I don't want to do a chapter shorter than 500 words.
Yang: YAY! XD

A year had passed. A whole year.
Kitty was now seventeen. She had her job, she had her car, but she did not have Lance.
Although he had kept contact with her, it had ended within a few months. It had broken Kitty's heart for the first couple weeks, but then she told herself that he must not care. Or maybe he was busy. Or maybe...he was dead? Kitty refused to think that.
She was a talented girl, in an Honor's Program actually, planning for college, but something was missing.
Lance.

"I'm just stopping into the food court, that okay?" Kitty questioned her fellow companions, Jean and Rogue.
"Sure." Rogue waved on.
"Just be back before the guys get here. You know how Scott gets if we're 'alone'." Jean laughed.
"'Kay, I get it."
As Kitty walked, she took a deep breath in. Then out. In. Out.
"May I have a small Dr. Pepper, a small fry, and a Chicken Salad please." Kitty asked the cashier. Then she heard a startling voice.
"...Move that August...yes, I know we're down 3 points. No, don't back off...apply pressure man, pressure!" A young man slammed a cell phone shut, and walked up to the cashier beside Kitty's. "I'll have a large Coke, a large fry, and a...let's see. I think that'll be it."
"L...Lance?" Kitty breathed, barely able to squeak out the words.
"Sorry, doll, were you talking to me?" The man asked.
"I'm sorry...you just remind me of someone I know...knew."
"I'm sure." His cell phone rang, and he held a finger up to her, as if she had to pause all she was saying to give him the time to answer this call.
Kitty just shook her head, grabbed her food, and found a spare seat on the other side of the court.
That was not Lance. She thought. He was to different. I mean, same build, same color hair, but everything else, different. A complete difference.
"You left before we could finish our conversation." The young man had trailed her to her table. "May I?" He pointed to the chair across her.
Kitty shrugged, and he sat down.
"You'll have to forgive me, I'm new in town."
Kitty nodded.
"So you were saying I remind you of someone? That's hard to believe."
Kitty shook her head. "I'm sorry, this is a mistake." She stood up, about to leave, when he looked up at her with the darkest, greenest eyes she had ever seen.
"I'm sorry." The way he said that...just like...
"Lance?"
"Again with this Lance. Who is he?" The guy laughed.
"He is...was...my boyfriend."
"Lance who?"
"Lance...Alvers."
"Well slap me silly and bury me alive! Lance Alvers?" His voice dropped to a whisper, "Avalanche?"
Kitty's eyes widened. "Yes."
"Wow, now this is a shock. I...knew Lance."
"You knew him?"
"Well, a little bit more than that. He was my cousin."
"Your cousin? He never mentioned you."
"Lance...was quiet about his past. Our past."
"Huh? When did you see him last?"
"Oh, let me think. He stayed with me for a month in Seattle, and that was about eight months ago. Yeah. So last I saw him was eight months ago."
"Eight? That was when...that was when...he stopped talking to me..."
"Stopped? What's your name?"
"Kitty."
"Pretty Kitty Pryde?"
Kitty nodded.
"Lance spoke about you! Best girl in the world. Prettiest too." He winked at her.
"Uh...okay." Kitty took a deep breath in. "Who are you?"
"Ha! Like you don't know."
Kitty looked at him blankly.
"Chris Srevla, at your service."
"Wait..The Chris?"
"The one and only. Youngest billionaire in the world! Or America at least." He laughed.

Yin: WOW O.O Shocker.
Yang: Money and he looks like lance. He's got a lot going for him!
