Notes: A love story. Not for Kurtty fans. That`s all I`m gonna say.

                                Something Beautiful


    Kitty stirred her straw around in her Diet Coke. She and Jubes were
hanging out   outside the local fast food place, listening to the latest
Dazzler single. It was a boring day like every other day had been during the
summer. But all that was about to change.
    A motorcycle pulled up to the restaurant. The guy got off and took off
his helmet. Kitty couldn`t help but stare. His eyes were so intense. And the
way his messy hair fell across his face. He smiled at them and said, "Hello
ladies." He had a slight British accent. "Hey," Jubes told him. Kitty
couldn`t find her voice. He went inside. Jubes looked at Kitty. "What`s wrong
with you," Jubes  asked. "Nothing," Kitty told her. And she couldn`t stop
smiling.

    It was two months before she saw him again. Scott was teaching her to
drive and all of a sudden there he was, sitting on the seat of his bike,
helmet in one hand and lighting the cigarette in his mouth with the other. It
wasn`t until cars behind her began honking that she realized that she was
staring at him and not moving. She got out of the car and started to him. She
heard Scott yelling at her but ignored him.
    "Hi," she said cheerfully. "Hey," he said. "I`m Kitty Pryde." "Pete
Wisdom." "So, are you new in town," she asked, trying to spark a
conversation. "I guess that much is obvious," he answered. "Well yeah, I
mean, small town, new people stick out," she told him. She sat down on the
empty spot on the seat. "Ooh, this is so not like me. I`m never this brave
around guys," she thought. "Between that and the accent," she continued. "A
lot of women think the accent is sexy," he told her. "It is," she said. "Oh
my god, I can`t believe I just said that," she thought. "You know what," he
asked her. "What?" "You`re floating," he said, taking a long drag off his
cigarette. "Huh," she mumbled, looking down. She was. She had risen a few
inches off the seat. She jumped off. "Oh my god! I`ve never done that
before," she exclaimed. "Thank god I`m not halucinating. Anyway that`s a neat
trick you got there Kitty. Wanna see mine," he asked her. "You`re a mutant,"
she asked, a little surprised. "I guess you`d call me that," he said.
Something that resembled a blade formed in his hand. It glowed very bright
and gave off intense heat that she could feel from where she was sitting. He
flung it into a tree. "Wow," she said, impressed. "Better go now. Looks like
your friend is havin` a bit of trouble," he told her. She looked back at
Scott, who was arguing, with someone. "Yeah," she said. She turned and stated
hurrying back to Scott. "Oh and Kitty, I think your cute," she heard Pete
yell. She smiled.
                        *           *           *
    Another long time had gone by without an encounter with him, leaving
Kitty depressed.
    A new under 21 club opened and Kitty was at the grand opening bash.
Everyone was going and she figured so should she. Despite the fact that it
was so much cooler than the old one Kitty couldn`t get in a partying mood.
    Someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned. Pete stood right there.
Kitty`s face lit up. He held a single red rose in his hand and he was smiling
at her. He leaned forward and whispered in her ear, "Looks like I found
something beautiful."
