Coo-eeee! I'm back after exams (which i'm pretty sure i've failed) but I'll worry about that later .. I'm just glad they're over! :D Wookay, I started writing this during study leave and just added bits to it everyday so it might be a bit all over the joint. This is gonna be a long one dudes, but i've got alot of ideas planned for it, so don't be put off by the first chapter! I don't want to give the whole thing away, but there'll be a storyline with other couples in this too (but it mainly focuses on Bomba and Tugger) Anyway I think that's enough rambling for one day, on with the fic;

Remember the first day we met? It was the day I found a real home, I was accepted, I was someone. But It was the day I met him. Nothing compares to that. If I hadn't met him, I can't imagine what life would be like. You can't forget days like that. I know I won't anyway .. no, i'll never forget the day I clapped eyes on that black, leopard spotted kitten, and I don't think he'll let me forget it either. He was always a cheeky little bugger. A handsome one at that. Strange how things just don't change, huh ..

'I found thum 'it the train station sur. Nae names 'ur nuffin.' a ginger striped tom whispered, speaking in a bizzare accent that neither kitten had heard before.

'No parents?' a deep but hearty voice aked.

'Not that a' know of sur. They wur jus' lyin' there.' he replied, staring at the kittens, shaking his head in disbelief that someone could just abandon them. His face was quite old, but his eyes were welcoming. The kittens knew they were in safe hands.

'They're only newborns.' a leopard spotted queen said sadly. 'The poor things are shivering Deuteronomy and I don't think they've been fed since the birth.' she added, concerned for the two kittens.

'Wit dae you suggest we dae sur?' the ginger tom asked anxiously.

A large tom, apparently called Deuteronomy, ambled towards the kittens and tickled underneath their chins, which made them purr contentedly. He smiled warmly, 'We'll have a naming ceremony tomorrow morning, raise them as Jellicle, unless they choose to leave when they age. Jenny, will you take care of them until then?'

'Of course.' Jenny gently picked up the two kittens from the ginger tom and cradled them in her arms, 'Come on darlings.' she whispered, and carried them to her den.

'It's a real shame. Two beautiful kittens.' Deuteronomy sighed.

'Thur save now sur. They'll be happy here.' the ginger tom said, patting Deuteronomy on the back.

'Yes, thank you for bringing them here Skimbleshanks.'

'Nae bother sur.'

'Now you go back to your den and get a rest, you must be tired after your trip.'

'I'll doubt that I'll be gettin' much sleep with all the kittens runnin' aboot the den, Deuteronomy!' Skimbleshanks chuckled.

The old tom laughed heartily, 'I'll gather the rest of the Jellicles for the naming ceremony, now put your paws up Skimbleshanks.'

'Aye sur, I'll see ye later.'

* * *

Jenny placed the tiny kittens in a basket with her and Skimbleshanks' kitten and Deuteronomy's three sons who were all huddled together, snoring softly.

The crimson kitten opened her eyes slowly and mewed at Jenny, before crawling next to Deuteronomy's youngest son and settling down between him and her sister. Jenny smiled lovingly at the two newborns, 'Goodnight darlings, sweet dreams.' she whispered and crept out of the room to avoid waking them and sat in her favourite cushion for a well deserved cat nap. Just as she settled down she jumped in surprise when she heard the door open, and stared at it in startled horror;

'Sorry for coming so late Jenny.' Deuteronomy whispered in his deep voice.

The Gumbie cat sighed deeply in relief, 'You frightened me!' she scolded.

'Sorry Jenny, where are the kittens?'

'I've put them to sleep in my den.'

'Jenny you're an angel, what would I do without you.'

Jenny blushed and swatted Deuteronomy away, 'Ohh don't be silly Deuteronomy.'

Deuteronomy smiled warmly at her, 'The naming ceremony will take place at dawn tomorrow, would you have the kittens ready for then?'

'Of course.'

Deuteronomy stared down at the kittens lovingly. 'Have Munkustrap and Tugger been alright? I've not seen them much since .. since she left.' he sighed remorsefully.

'They've been fine. Munkustrap and Alonzo are always playing fighting games together - they are tribe leaders in the making,' she giggled. 'And Tugger's always playing tag with Admetus and Plato. I must say, I'm glad that these princesses have arrived, my Teazer has been very lonely.' Jenny said wistfully, staring at the tiger striped tabby princess who was lying on her back with her arms and legs sprawled out across her area of the basket, her mouth agape and escaping loud snorts.

Deuteronomy nodded, 'Yes, I see a future for them here.' he replied, staring at his son Tugger who was cuddled into the red kitten, 'I'm sure they'll be very happy here.'

* * *

Jenny opened her eyes and noticed the sun seeping through the cracks of rubbish that made the walls of her den. 'Oh Rumpus, i've slept in!' she groaned tiredly and scurried into her bedroom to collect the two kittens. She picked up the little black and gold one and held her in one arm and stared down at the little red one, who was lying awkwardly beneath Tugger, her paw resting on his back. She edged her paw carefully between them, feeling the warmth of their stomachs. She lifted the red kitten slowly and held her in her spare arm. She padded across the room, 'Where are you going?' Jenny spun round and smiled at Tugger who was sitting in the basket, rubbing his eyes tiredly.

'I'll be back soon, petal.'

'Can I come with you?'

'No honey, I'm just popping out to get some breakfast, now try to get back to sleep and there'll be some yummy mouse waiting for you when you wake up, mm?'

Tugger nodded excitedly and collapsed into the basket, scrambling between Munkustrap and Plato for heat.

Jenny sighed, little did she know that the breakfast to come would be one she would never forget.

* * *

'Sorry I'm late Deuteronomy. Tugger woke up as I was leaving.' she sat the kittens down and wiped droplets of sweat from her forehead.

'That's quite alright Jenny, you're here now.' Deuteronomy smiled and turned to the two kittens, who were staring at him with wide eyes.

'We're gathered today to name these kittens and celebrate as they become Jellicle.' Deuteronomy picked up the little black and gold kitten and tickled her nose, 'I name you Demeter, may your kind and peaceful nature light up wherever you go.' Demeter licked his paw as he placed her back onto the ground.

He picked up the red kitten 'And I name you Bombalurina. Your beauty will earn the affection from others, but above all, your passionate personality will shine through and earn these people's trust and devotion.' Bombalurina smiled and nuzzled his arm to show her gratitude.

'And Jenny, would you do the honour of caring for these kittens?'

'I'd be more than happy to.' she smiled sweetly.

'C'mon lovies, breakfast time.' Bombalurina and Demeter mewed happily as Jenny lifted them into her arms and walked to her den. She crept into the room incase any of the kittens were asleep, but they were huddled around Skimbleshanks listening attentively to his latest tales from the railways. Jenny smiled and shut the door quietly.

'Morning my sweets.' she cooed.

'Morning Jenny!' the kittens shouted in unison, crowding around her feet and rubbing their heads against her affectionately. Jenny placed Bombalurina and Demeter on the ground and the rest of the kittens stared at them curiously.

'Mornin' love.' Skimbleshanks smiled, nuzzling his mate. 'Good morning.' she replied chipperly. 'I've got to go doon to the railway again, will you be awrite lookin' after the kits on your own?' Skimbleshanks asked, glancing down at the mass of kittens at their feet.

'Of course darling.' she nodded, and kissed him on the cheek before he left.

Skimble grinned, 'See you later kits!' he called, embracing them all in a group cuddle.

'Bye Skimble!' they waved at the ginger tom cutely as he walked out of the door before continuing to stare at the new kittens who were cowered behind Jenny.

'Oh, This is Bombalurina and Demeter.' Jenny added, pushing the two kittens forward from behind her to introduce them to the rest of the kittens. 'They're new.'

A small tiger striped tabby princess stepped forward, 'Allo, Oi'm Rumpleteazer, It's noice to meet ya both!' she grinned.

'Always the bold one,' Jenny chuckled, ruffling her daughter's head fur, 'This is Alonzo.' Jenny said patting a black and white tom, who smiled shyly at the two new kittens. 'These two are Admetus and Plato.' she tapped two white and brown patched toms. 'And this is Munkustrap.' she said finally, gesturing to a silver and black tabby tom. 'Hello!' he said cheerfully.

Bombalurina and Demeter smiled coyly at the kittens and gripped onto eachother's paws, never wanting to let go.

'Now, time for breakfast!' she beamed, clapping her paws together.

'I want mouse!' pouted Admetus.

'I want doesn't get darling!' Jenny scolded, placing her paws on her hips.

'Please?' he added innocently.

'That's better.' she smiled, retrieving the mice. The kittens sat around the table, bouncing up and down as they waited for breakfast. Jenny placed them on the table and stared at the kittens admirably as they shared the mouse platter. 'Tuck in dears.' she urged Bombalurina and Demeter who were staring at the rest of the kittens with confused expressions. They nodded and picked up the pieces of mice gingerly and began to eat it. 'Nom nom nom!' Rumpleteazer giggled, spraying chewed pieces of mouse from her mouth, apparently enjoying her breakfast.

The kittens devoured their breakfast hastily and licked their lips happily, savouring the taste of the mouse. 'Can we go and play now Jenny?' asked Plato politely.

'Have you finished your breakfast?' she asked, picking up their plates to wash them.

'Yeees.' they all groaned.

'Alright then, but be careful!' she warned, watching them from the doorway as they scampered out into the junkyard. 'Are you coming out too Bomba?' Demeter asked.

'I've not finished my breakfast Dem, I'll be out soon.' Demeter nodded and padded out of the den to join the rest of the kittens. Bombalurina smiled at the little princess and noticed a figure appear in the doorway, rubbing their eyes tiredly.

'Morning Tugger, nice of you to join us!' Jenny chuckled, lifting him to a chair at the table. He grumbled something under his breath and picked up a piece of mouse, catching a glimpse of Bombalurina sitting next to him.

'Who're you?' he asked curiously.

'Bombalurina.' she grinned. 'That's a stupid name.' he scoffed.

'What's your name?' she asked, hurt by the tom's words.

'Rum Tum Tugger.' he replied confidently, sticking his tiny chest out. Bombalurina giggled, 'Rum Tum Tugger? What kind of name is that?'

'The best!' he replied shakily.

'In lie land?' she sneered.

Tugger scowled at her and pouted his lips. He picked up a piece of mouse and threw it at her, rolling about in hysterics as it smacked off her head.

'You've asked for it mister!' she growled and began throwing the mouse back at him.

Tugger ducked and raced under the table and began launching his breakfast at her, which landed across the walls each time she dodged the pieces of meat.

'Bombalurina, Rum Tum Tugg-' Jenny walked into the den from the kitchen and stopped as she entered the room. Scanning it in sheer horror. She looked to the floor to see Bombalurina and Tugger sitting innocently in the middle of it, scraps of their breakfast stuck in their fur. 'What happened here?' she asked softly, grimacing as she noticed the state of her velvet cushions.

'It was her!'

'It was him!'

'I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.' she shrieked, looking down at the kittens who were gazing at her with quivering lips, she sighed; 'now go outside and play nicely.' she said calmly, desperately attempting to suppress the despair she felt as she noticed more pieces of mouse strewn around her - once - pristine den.

The kittens nodded hastily and scrambled out of the den before getting into more trouble, shoving each other out of the way to get out of the door first. 'She was so mad!' Tugger chuckled, running into the junkyard, stopping to let Bombalurina catch up with him. 'You're not so bad newbie.' he added softly. Bombalurina giggled and swatted Tugger's head, 'Neither are you Rum Tum.'

'Just call me Tugger, that's what my Dad calls me.' he replied proudly.

Bombalurina nodded, 'Ok Tugger.'

Tugger grinned happily. 'Bet'cha I can run to that can faster than you!'

'Bet'cha you can't!' Bombalurina cried, racing towards the can before Tugger was given the chance. Tugger's mouth dropped open, 'HEY YOU'RE CHEATING!'

Bombalurina giggled mischievously and ran to the can. 'AND IN FIRST PLACE IS BOMBALURINA, CHAMPIONYYY!' she hollered, waving her arms about. Tugger scowled and pounced on her playfully and the two wrestled together, laughing hysterically.

'Get off you big fur ball!' she spluttered, gasping for breath as he sat on top of her chest. 'Not until you say I won!' Bombalurina coughed, 'NEVER!' and managed to push him off of her and sat on his stomach. 'Ow, get off!' he whined.

'Nope, not until you say I won.' she replied, mocking Tugger's tone of achievement.

'Ok, ok, you won.' he said reluctantly.

'And Bombalurina is the best.'

'And Bombalurina is the best ..' Tugger muttered, rolling his eyes.

Bombalurina grinned cheekily and jumped off of him. Tugger scowled and brushed his fur. 'C'mon, let's go find everyone.'

'Kay.' Bombalurina smiled and followed Tugger into the junkyard.

* * *

'Bomby! Are you coming to play with me and Rumpleteazer?' Demeter asked happily, Rumpleteazer popped her head from behind Demeter with an excited grin.

'Yeah!' she beamed. 'Do you want to come Tugger?'

'No toms allowed Bomba!' Rumpleteazer giggled, dragging Bombalurina into a large pipe.

Tugger frowned, 'I didn't want to play with daft princess anyway.' he snorted and stormed off to find Munkustrap and the rest of the toms.

'What're you playing?' Bombalurina asked.

'We're making Jenny a picture for looking after us.' Demeter replied, patting a label from shampoo bottle onto a scrap piece of cardboard they'd found in the junkyard.

'It's good innit!' Rumpleteazer chirped, her tongue sticking out in concentration as she bashed more labels onto the picture, differing from the pristine labels that Demeter had applied so delicately on her side of the cardboard.

Bombalurina nodded, stifling a giggle as Rumpleteazer stared up to her with a goofy grin, a Creme Egg label stuck to her nose. She sat between the two kittens and began shredding pictures from old magazines and placing them onto the cardboard.

'Do ya loike the junky'ad Bomba?' Rumpleteazer asked.

'Yeah, it's great! I love living here already.'

'Me too.' Demeter agreed, her and Bombalurina exchanging excited smiles.

'Oi'm so glad that you both came, it's 'ard bein' the only princess.' she replied sadly.

Bombalurina smiled gently and cuddled Rumpleteazer, 'Well you won't be lonely now, will she Dem?' she asked, pulling Demeter into their little group hug. 'Nuh uh.' she chirped.

'Sorry to interrupt.' Tugger sneered, rolling his eyes. 'But Munkustrap asks if you want to play tag.'

The princesses stared to the shadow at the end of the pipe and exchanged glances to whether they should play with the toms or not, they all nodded in agreement. Demeter picked up Jenny's picture and padded out of the pipe, followed by Rumpleteazer and Bombalurina who were giggling wildly together as their plan to stick as many pieces of paper as they could to Demeter's fur had worked.

Tugger stared at the black and gold kitten in bewilderment, 'Nice look, Demeter.' This made Rumpleteazer and Bombalurina laugh harder, but Demeter took no notice and held her head high, carrying the picture in her mouth.

* * *

'YOU'RE IT PLATO!' Rumpleteazer shouted, squealing as Plato swatted his paw at her to tag her back. 'You'll neva' catch me matey!' she giggled, clambering on top of a heap of rubbish.

Plato growled and raced after Admetus, Rumpleteazer was the undefeated tag champion, and he was too tired to even attempt to catch her. 'Ha, I knew it!' she joked, sticking her tongue out at the tom from her trash throne.

'But Teazer i'm tiiiiired.' he whined, throwing his arms down in frustration.

'This is boring.' Tugger said flatly.

'You're boring.' Bombalurina hissed, smiling at him wryly.

Tugger's eyes widened, never had another kitten disputed him. 'I'm not BORING!' he cried, outraged that she'd even suggest such a thing. Bombalurina giggled, 'I was only joking Tugger.'

Tugger frowned, 'You're weird.'

Bombalurina winced, 'No i'm not.'

'I know, I was only kidding too.' he snorted, flashing her a cheesy grin. Bombalurina scowled and unsheathed her claws to take a swipe at him;

'Bed time darlings. Come on you two.' Jenny called.

Bombalurina and Tugger exchanged a quick glance and scampered into the basket. Bombalurina cuddled into Demeter and nuzzled her head affectionately.

Tugger stared at her and looked down at his empty space in the basket. He scowled and wriggled his way next to Munkustrap. The den was silent.

'Goodnight Bomba.' he whispered.

'Goodnight Tugger.' she replied.
