The End and a Beginning
Chapter 1
A Not so Perfect Date
It was a peaceful day in the Junkyard, the sun was brightly shinning, warming the Earth. It was early spring, and the trees were starting to bloom. The days were getting warmer, and the Jellicles stayed outside more, sunning themselves in the warm sun.
Bombalurina was flirting as always and when she wasn't flirting she was talking to Munkustrap. The silver tabby and the red queen were best friends since they were kittens. Everyone thought they were a perfect couple, except for Rum Tum Tugger who felt a certain feeling for the red queen, but would never admit to it.
Munkustrap was lying on the tire, alone, and half asleep. Bombalurina walked around flirting with every tom she meets. As she made her rounds, she saw a sliver tabby lying on the tire. She slowly walked up to the resting tom.
"Hello Munk. How are you today?" Bomby asked lying down next to the silver tom.
"I'm fine." Munk answered, looking at the red queen. "How are you?"
"I'm great." Bomby replied, slowly and softly placing her head against the silver tom's fury shoulder. "Munk, what are you doing tonight?" she asked with her head still on the silver shoulder.
"Nothing much." the silver tabby replied.
"Do you want to go out tonight since you are not busy?" the red queen questioned
"Sure." Munk answered, gently placing his head on top of the red queen's head.
As the sun began to set, the Jellicles slowly left the opened air and entered their dens looking forward for a good night's sleep. Meanwhile a silver tom and a red queen exited the Junkyard.
"Munk, where are we going?" The red queen asked, walking beside the silver tom.
"You'll see." Munk answered, looking at his companion as he led her into an abandoned park.
"A park! What's so romantic about a park?" Bomby questioned, almost yelling at the silver tom.
"Stop complaining and you'll find out." Munk replied, turning away from the red queen and continued walking.
"'You'll see. Stop complaining and you'll find out'" The red queen mumbled following the silver tabby up a tall hill. "What's so romantic about this place?" Bomby asked crossing her arms across her chest.
"Look." Munk replied, pointing up at the sky, as the red queen sat down beside him and looked up at where he was pointing.
"The moon. What's so romantic about the moon?" Bomby questioned looking at the silver tabby.
Munkustrap didn't answer her, he just looked at the moon as it rose above the horizon. Silent minutes went by and the red queen couldn't stand it anymore, it was two quiet.
"Munk, we have been dating for about two months now, and yet you never kissed me." Bomby stated
The silver tom looked over at the red queen not sure of what she was trying to prove. "Your point is?" Munk questioned.
"When two cats or humans are going out, they mostly kiss each other and so far we never kissed." Bomby explained.
"Well, what about all the other toms you kiss?" Munk questioned
"What about them?" The red queen asked, looking at the silver tom with a confused look.
"Don't you think they might start a battle over you?" Munk replied.
"Munk, if you think I won't be devoted to you, you're wrong. I love you Munk." Bomby explained, looking at the silver tabby.
"If you love me so much then why do you flirt with every tom in the Junkyard?" Munk asked looking at the red queen.
The red queen looked down at the cold grassy ground for awhile then replied. "I can't help flirting. I was born that way, and you should already know that."
"Whatever," the silver tom sighed standing and turning away from the red queen leaving her alone on the cold grass. "Are you coming?" Munk asked, shouting three yards away from the queen.
Bomby looked up at the silver tabby then stood and ran over to where he was. They walked silently into the Junkyard. Bombalurina felt like she was going to cry her eyes out, but she tried to hold her tears back.
"Bomby, are you crying?" Munk asked looking at the red queen. Bomby's reply was looking away from the silver tabby and wiping away escaping tears. The silver tom placed his paw on her shoulder and moved in front of her. "Hey, it's all okay Bomby." Munk replied wiping away some of her falling tears. The red queen placed her head against his shoulder as the silver tabby wrapped his strong arms around her. "It's alright Bomby, it's alright." Munkustrap replied rubbing her back, as he tried to comfort the crying queen.
"I'm sorry Munk." Bomby cried, wetting the silver shoulder fur with her tears.
"No, I'm the one that should be sorry. I got mad for no reason." Munk explained.
The red queen stepped back, moving out of the embraced and looked up at the silver tabby. "Thanks. It's getting late, I should go home." Bomby sighed.
"Good night Bomby." Munk replied, leaning closer to the red queen and kissing her on the lips.
"Night," Bomby mumbled with a smile on her face, as she turned and went to her den, where she lived with her family.
Once the red queen entered her den, the silver tom turned and walked to the den where he lived with his uncle, and his younger brother and sister.
"Where have you been?" Old Deuteronomy, Munk's uncle asked, once he saw his nephew enter the den.
"No where." Munk replied, standing just inside the den.
"Munk, this is the millionth time you have come home late. Why don't you just tell me where you were?" Old Deuteronomy explained.
"I was out with Bomby. Okay?" Munk mumbled as he walked past his uncle and into his room.
"He's just like his father, stubborn and quiet." Old Deuteronomy sighed out loud to himself as he shook his head. He slowly walked to his room and slept peacefully.
