A/N- Unless told otherwise, the whole story is in Electra's P.O.V. Oh, and I don't own the character, Roselna. Roselna does! I'm just using her for my own foolish purposes. And with good reason. Roselna, I love your story, and hope you don't mind.
I walked alongside Tumble, my best friend, as we talked of frightening stories told to kits.
"I mean," I told him, "We've never seen Macavity. How do we know he's real?"
Tumble shrugged his shoulders.
"I thought he came to the last Jellicle Ball." he said.
I sighed.
However cute he may be, he is such and idiot.
"That was Plato in a suit," I replied, "He told me so."
He had also asked me a question.
He had asked me to be his mate.
I turned him down.
I had someone else in mind.
You see, I had always been madly in love with Tumble.
And today......
Today was the day he will know.
I've finally worked up the courage to tell him.
Ok, here I go.
"Hey Tumble," I asked, meekly, "Can you sit down for a second."
Tumble looked at me, oblivious as to what would happen, and sat down on a stump, near the front of The Junkyard, smiling up at me.
"Okay! I'm ready!" he said, unaware of it all.
"Tumble......I- I-" I said, stopping to think.
What if he turns me down?
Thinks I'm a freak.
I don't think I could live with that.
Oh, well!
I must continue!
"You what?" Tumble asked, "Oh, and can you hurry up! I have to ask you a question next."
"You go first," I said.
"Okay! Uhm........I need help. There's this queen I've always loved from the day I saw her. Do I tell her?" he asked.
Oh my gosh!
It's me!
I trample-hug him, screaming merrily, "You go tell this queen. Any queen would be lucky to have you!"
Once he got out of the hug, he said, "Great! Now, where'e Rosie?"
What?
R-r-rosie?
"Rosie?" I asked, shocked.
He beamed at me.
"Yeah. I need to find her. She's the one."
His words hit me like chocolate.
Bittersweet; Poisonous.
"You-You-You....I CAN'T EVEN TALK TO YOU RIGHT NOW!" I screamed, a sudden rage filling my heart, and ripping him out of it.
He looked at me like I was crazy, asking, "Why? I'm your best friend! Oh-"
I guess a sudden realazation caught him, because he started saying things like, "Oh me and my big mouth!" and "If I'd only known!"
I didn't want his apologies.
Let him love who he wants, but I'm out of here.
I ran for the exit of The Junkyard, out of it, and onto the streets.
I was remebering my family as I went along.
Jelly- She wouldn't care. She only cares about that old fart, Gus.
Asparagus Jr.- Wouldn't notice.
Gus- Forgot about me.
Etcy........
Etcy would be the only one to cry, besides my friends.
I sudden dawning hit me.
Today was the day she was going to tell Pouncy that she loved him.
I'll have to miss that.
I ran threw a series of dark, narrow alleyways, until I felt a chill.
The cold night air awakened my senses.
I had no idea where I was.
I was alone.....
