| Part 2, By DarkQuakes December 2 ( Still) Rockerfeller Center, 7: 30 By the time Kitty reached New York City on the bus from Bayville, it was snowing. She saw the familiar statue in front of the Rockerfeller Center and hugged her royal blue jacket closer to her. She looked around, trying to find the person she hoped had sent those roses. New York wasn't so crowded today for some reason but there were still some Christmas shopper looking for gifts for their loved ones. She at last, found him, Lance Alvers, leaning againts the building, looking around nervously. She smiled to herself. She walked up behind him and phased through him. "Hi!" She said as she popped up from him. Lance looked startled and stumbled back to fall in freshly fallen snow, which had snowed harder the few minutes Kitty was in New York City. Kitty giggled as she helped him up. Boy, did he look nervous, something he doesn't look very often. " You came," he said. "So, you got my flowers then, huh?" Kitty nodded, waiting for him to go on. " Um, sure is a beautiful day." Kitty looked disappointed. "Uh," He stutterd " Will you go to the ball with me?" He asked quickly then closed his eyes. He opened one eye. Kitty was smiling at him and said, " Of course I will. What took you so long?!" "I was-I was nervous. We havn't been that great lately. And I was afraid you would say no." Kitty bent down, packed some snow in her hand and chucked it at Lance's face. "Hey!" He said as he bent down to pack some snow too and retaliated. Soon they were snowball fighting and later collapsed to make snow angels in the powdery snow. As Kitty layed in her snow angel, she can't remember the last time she felt so happy. December 4, Afternoon " Rogue, your dress is gorgeous!" Kitty said earnestly. Rogue spun around and looked at herself in her and Kitty's full length mirror. She was wearing a forest-green, Victorian style dress. The top resembled a strapless corset with lacing in the back made of the same rich dark green color but in silk. She had on thin, silk forest green gloves that stopped a little below her elbow. The rest of the dress flowed down her long legs to show off a perfect figure that she usually didn't show. Rogue spun around again to face Kitty. " Ok Kitty, you're turn. Ah wanna see yoah dress." Kitty went inside the bathroom while Rogue undress and carefully put her dress away for a few hours until she could take it out again. Kitty emerged from the bathroom a few minutes later. She was wearing a white dress. It was strapless and fitted her upper body. The rest of the dress was full and had a second layer underneath of white lace. The edges of the dress were all adorned with esquisite black embroidery. " Well, Whaddya think?" She asked Rogue, who thought Kitty looked really pretty. " You'll stop Lance dead in his tracks." Rogue said finally after pretending she didn't like the dress. Kitty breathed a sigh of relief. That was excellent praise from Rogue. " Oh Kit, you look gorgeous!" Jean said as she entered their room. " Who're you going with? Lance? That's so cute." Jean turned to Rogue, confident Rogue didn't have a date and wasn't going. Jean tried to ask sincerely. " And who are you going with, Rogue?" " Ah'm going with Remy. You know, Lebeau." Rogue said hesitanly and resentfully. " Who?" The rest of the X-men didn't know Remy's real name. " You know him by Gambit." Jean tried unsuccessfully to conceal her astonishment. " I didn't--I didn't know--" Jean stuttered. Rogue glared. Kitty broke the tension. " So, what color's your dress, Jean?" " It's pink, you'll see me later tonight! See you later to, Rogue!" Rogue glared more. |
