"Isn't she adorable?" Jellylorum said, smiling at the small kitten on Demeter's arms. Demeter smiled gently. "Little Jemima looked so peaceful. Her eyes aren't open yet" Jennyanydots said as the little kitten yawned.
Demeter rocked her arms gently.
"How lucky her parents are so protective and responsible" Skimbleshanks said as he stroked Jemima's cheek. Demeter laughed lightly.
"I'm pretty sure she'll have a bright future" Demeter said, smiling.
Just then, a small white kitten hopped in front of Demeter. Her legs were a bit weak, but she was wearing a cute smile.
"Hello Ms. Demeter! How's little Jemima?" the white kitten asked, looking at the kitten.
Demeter smiled at her and looked at Jemima.
"She's fine Victoria." Demeter said as Victoria giggled lightly. She stroke Jemima's right ear as Jemima smiled. Victoria giggled again.
"She's so cute!" Victoria said happily.
"And, where did she get the beauty?" Asparagus said, looking at Demeter as Demeter laughed lightly.
"Where's my little Jemima?" Munkustrap said as he entered the den.
Demeter smiled at him as she handed Jemima to Munkustrap gently. Munkustrap smiled brightly at Jemima and stroked her stomach.
"She's so adorable." Munkustrap said.
Just then, Electra came happily, staring at her little sister, Jemima.
"She's so cute!" Electra stated as Victoria rolled her eyes.
"Suck up" Victoria muttered as Electra glared at her.
"What do you mean suck up?" Electra said angrily.
Victoria smirked slightly. "I thought you hate having a little sister. I thought you always want the attention" Victoria whispered in Electra's ear.
Electra shrugged. "Just shut up and don't tell anyone" she hissed as she gave Jemima a fake smile.
Few days, Jemima's eyes started to open and she can finally stand.
"Mom, can I go to the other kittens to play, PLEASE?" Jemima asked with pleading eyes.
Demeter smiled as she finished cleaning Jemima. She finally nodded as Jemima smiled brightly and gave her mother a quick hug and left the den.
She looked around to find her friends. She finally found them, playing with an old tuna can.
"Hi guys!" Jemima said happily, running towards them.
"HI JEMIMA!" Etcetera said happily as she hugged Jemima tightly as Jemima just smiled.
Etcetera finally let her go as she gave Jemima a grin and Jemima giggled. "Good morning Jemima" Victoria said gently as she eyed the can then at Jemima. Jemima just smiled.
"What are you guys playing?" Jemima asked curiously.
"I don't really know. We just played with this old tuna can" Etcetera said happily as she played with the can. Jemima giggled as she looked around.
"Where are the other kittens?" Jemima asked, looking around.
"You mean Pouncival, Tumblebrutus, Mistoffelees, and Plato?" Victoria asked.
Jemima nodded as Victoria decided to answer the question.
"They're hanging out with Tugger back there" Victoria said as Etcetera smiled immediately.
"Tugger?! Let's go! Let's go see him!" Etcetera said excitedly as Victoria giggled. "Ok, ok. No need to get warm up about it" Victoria said as the 3 of them ran towards where Tugger and the others were.
Tugger was talking with his friends as he heard a familiar small voice.
"RUM TUM TUGGER!" Etcetera yelled happily as she hopped in front of Tugger, making Tugger fall down on his back.
"You're overdoing it Etcetera" Jemima said, smiling gently at them. Etcetera just gave a hard giggle as Victoria laughed a bit.
"At last, the queens are now following us." Plato said, crossing his arms and smirking. Victoria rolled her eyes as she smiled.
"We're not following you. We're following the one and only Rum Tum Tugger" Victoria corrected, making Plato blushed in embarrassment. Jemima just giggled.
"I LOVE YOU!" Etcetera said happily as Tugger nodded boastfully. "I know, I know. I'm used to it." Tugger said as Etcetera squealed in delight.
Misto rolled his eyes at this statement.
"Yeah, yeah, you're so popular with the kittens. But you're not popular with the queens with the same age as you" Misto said, smirking.
Tugger glared at him as he stood up.
"What does that mean?" he asked angrily.
Misto just gave him a slight chuckle. "Bombalurina? You're mate? You've been ignoring her for days!" Misto said as he smirked.
"You're asking for a bruise buddy" Tugger said angrily.
"Try me. I can use my magic. And you? You're just Rum Tum Tugger, a bi-curious cat!" Misto said as he and Tugger started fighting through words while Etcetera was still hugging Tugger's leg, ignoring the fight.
Jemima sighed. Being the caretaker of the kittens, she decided to end the fight. Jennyanydots gave her the responsibility to be the caretaker cause she's more responsible.
She walked towards them as she placed both her hands in front of their faces.
"Misto, Tugger. This isn't leading us anywhere. So stop fighting" Jemima said, acting like an adult. But inside, she was really nervous and scared and what's going to happen. She likes Tugger and was afraid that he will ignore her.
"Whatever. I'm outta here" Tugger said as he walked away, followed by Etcetera.
"Wow. Your uncle Tugger is kind of moody right now" Victoria said to Jemima as Jemima shrugged.
"I'm pretty sure he's moody because Bombalurina broke up with him" Pouncival said as their eyes widened in surprise.
"Really?! How?!" Jemima asked surprisingly.
Pouncival looked at the 5 kittens. Victoria, Misto, Jemima, Plato, and Tumblebrutus were looking at him closely. He looked at them awkwardly, like there's really no surprise about it.
"Well, she broke up with him because, you know, he ignored her and stuff" Pouncival said as Victoria sighed.
"Where is this world getting in to?" Victoria asked herself.
"Wow. That's really surprising" Tumblebrutus said as the others nodded.
"Jemima! Lunch time!" Demeter called as Jemima nodded.
"I have to go guys, my mom is calling me. Catch you guys later!" Jemima said as she ran off, waving at them.
Plato walked closer to Victoria.
"You know, we're the oldest among the kittens and the Jellicle Ball is coming. Wanna be my mate?" Plato asked, flirting Victoria.
Victoria just smiled. "Not even in your dreams" Victoria said as she left.
"She digs me" Plato said to Misto as Misto just looked at him awkwardly.

What do you think? I know its short, but don't worry! I'll continue it, if you want. Anyway, this isn't a Tugger/Jemima fanfic. I just add the situation to spice it up a little.
