Ben's Note of Returned Awesome: I'm still kind of depressed, but last night, I read a review from KCL that just made me smile. And thus, I was able to find it in me to write this one. This one might actually bring back memories from the earlier prompts. I loved writing those, and I'm glad I'm writing calm prompts again.

KCL: I watched it just right as I'm writing this. Holy sheep… I LOVE IT DANGGIT! Although, if this is canon, my universe might have to go off script a little. Too many plots that would contradict. Still… THIS PLOT IS GOING TO BE AMAZING! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Seriously, Netflix has uped their game, no doubt about that. (However, I do have to wonder if they're going to bring the books into this. In book one, after all, Raven was able to talk to her mother once a year. But since it wasn't alluded to in Way To Wonderland, I doubt it.)

Prompt 50: Heavy Rain

The rain didn't bother Kitty anymore. At least… not as much as it used to.

Alistair and Kitty were, again, sitting on their bench underneath a giant umbrella. It wasn't really for them as it was for Kitty's wheelchair, which wasn't allowed to get wet. Kitty leaned against her boyfriend, smiling into the wetness.

"I love rain," she said.

Alistair was quick to raise an eyebrow. "Did I hear you right?" he said with playful shock. "Kitty Cheshire, part cat, loves the rain?"

Kitty giggled and rolled her eyes playfully. "It still feels disgusting, don't get me wrong about that," she said. "But… the rain… it reminds me back a few months ago, before everything went completely wrong."

Alistair strained his memory. "Oh, you mean that one day…" he said, starting to chuckle.

"I was moody," Kitty giggled. "It was raining, which didn't help. You were being your oh so cheerful self, which didn't really help my mood. Then, you had the nerve to through a mud ball at me."

"Splat," Alistair said. The couple laughed and that, smiling the entire time. However, after a few moments, Kitty's eyes began to grow distant.

"Will we…ever be like that again?" she asked him. "Playful? Not a care in the world? Just… us?"

Alistair thought the question over for a few moments. "I think that, to answer that… we need to assess ourselves," Alistair said. "I'll test you. Are you, in any way, connected to Maddie's sudden obsession of cheese?"

Kitty's raised an eyebrow. "No, but…" she said.

"Have you in any way made Hopper transform in a frog?"

"Well… there was that one time…"

"Have you been stealing my clothing when I'm not looking?"

"Alistair!" Kitty blushed.

Alistair smiled. "See? We can still be playful," he said. "No doubt we've changed over what's happened, but I still think we're just us. We can still be what we were before, we just have more experience and knowledge than previously."

Kitty nodded in understanding. "I see what you mean," she sighed. They were silent for a few moments. "The doctor said I could start walking in a few days. Like, without the wheelchair."

Alistair smiled. "Sounds like someone's recovering," he said.

"Yeah… but… He said I could never teleport again."

Silence.

"The nerves… whatever made me able to teleport before has been shot. I teleported too many times one right after the other. My teleportation… if I try it again, I could end up in pieces," Kitty said. "It's the one thing I got… from both my parents…"

Alistair sat silently for a few moments, looking into the rain. "I think your problem… is like the rain," he said. "When a rain-drop forms, its duty is to fall. It continues to fall and fall… until it lands. Once it lands, its duty is over and the rain-drop dies. Your teleportation for you helped you do things for both yourself and others. But when it came time to use it for something… you sacrificed it to save me. It's duty was over. But… just because a rain drop dies doesn't mean it's purpose is over. That raindrop could have landed in the soil next to a farmer's crop. Its purpose still continues even after it's death."

Kitty thought for a moment. "You're saying… even though my teleportation is gone… my parents are still a part of me?" she asked.

Alistair smiled at her. "In a sense," he said. "I came up with a snappy analogy that barely made sense to myself. Can't you at least pretend I'm smart?"

Kitty giggled and kissed him on the cheek. "I don't have to pretend to know I'm dating the smartest person I'll ever need," she said to him.

BN: *sniffles* Danggit, why do they always have to go and make me cry… I wanted to do something that I don't think a lot of authors think about: take away the one thing that descended from both sides of Kitty's lineage. Kitty's teleportation, let's face it, has had its uses, but I wanted to take it away from her and see how she copes. Of course, what she doesn't know is that she has the possibility of recovering, but as she can't hear me and Maddie wasn't around, she thinks it's gone forever.

The other thing I wanted to point out is that this fic is supposed to focus on how cute these two are, but they also have hardships they have to overcome. I feel as though not adding the darker arcs would be skirting this couple to make them a little too perfect. But even when this fic has its points of darkness, these two still strive to be fun loving and caring toward their significant other. Its how I think real couples should be. Even when things look glum, you should still try to be happy. I should take my own advice sometimes.

I think I'm going to write one more chapter tomorrow then pause a moment to update Her Number. I have two reasons for it: 1. Her Number needs an update. 2. Next chapter is a huge milestone for this fic. I'll tell you guys tomorrow what that actually is.

Like? Hate? Meh? Let me know via review!
