In truth, Kitty doesn't really have much of a problem with Kevin exactly. While they weren't really close, she didn't mind him. He reminded her of Rogue, who she did get along with, and she wouldn't have minded being his friend if he would let her.

The real problem she had was with the idea of getting married. Not necessarily to Kevin, but this whole matchmaking thing in general. She definitely understood the professor's reasoning for them to marry a fellow mutant. But she didn't necessarily agree with it. Wasn't the professor the one telling them that integrating with regular humans was the way to get them used to mutants?

And partnering her up with Kevin? What made the professor think that the two of them getting married was a good idea? She'd wanted to get along better with Kevin, but she wasn't sure this was really the way to do it.

Not that either of them had much of a choice about it now, as she stood looking at herself in the full-length mirror. The knock on the door startles her a bit, but she isn't sure what emotion she's feeling when she hears the familiar voice on the other side.

Slowly she walks over to the door, but doesn't open it yet. "Isn't it bad luck to see the bride before the ceremony?" she asks, the attempt at a joke feeling a little flat compared to the nerves buzzing in her stomach.
