A/N: Drabble, nothing else. I might actually continue this...
Disclaimer: I don't even own Tugger... :( pouts
Tugger and Misto were at it again arguing about queens. Misto was having a problem with Tugger sleeping with every other queen he met, "Why Tugger?"
"Misty, you have to understand what life is all about", Tugger drawled.
"Sleeping with a bunch of queens?" Misto asked, "That's what life is all about?"
"Exactly, buddy, you catch on quick", he replied. Misto rolled his eyes and said to Tugger, "Then did you have to sleep with Victoria?"
"Why? Do you want her?" Tugger asked. Misto blushed deep red and stuttered, "No, th-that's n-not-t it…Tugger!"
"Hmm…you like Victoria, you like Victoria", Tugger sang as he twirled about the Junkyard like a ballerina. As he sang it even louder, Misto's cheeks went impossibly red. Then to make it worse, Electra and Jemima happened to be walking into the Junkyard. Electra yelped, "You like Victoria, Tugger?"
That got his attention and Tugger said sweetly to Electra, "Of course not, I like all queens. It's Misto who's got a wittle cwush on Victoria."
Electra turned to the furious and embarrassed Misto who was fuming at Tugger. Jemima and Electra burst into giggles as Misto ran around the Junkyard attempting to pounce on Tugger.
"That's it, Tugger!" Misto yelled as he let loose a magic bolt that missed Electra by mere centimeters. It hit Tugger squarely in the chest. Tugger fell down and began to moan until he fainted.
"You killed him, Misto!" Electra squealed as the whole tribe came to see what was wrong with Tugger.
"Uh…no I didn't", he stammered. Victoria came next to him brushing him ever so slightly with her tail. Misto immediately froze as his blood rushed to his head in a warning.
"He looks alive", Victoria whispered. Tugger groaned and sat up with a silly grin on his face, "Of course I'm alive, babe!"
Victoria blushed deeply and turned away as did all the other Jellicles realizing he was alright. Jemima whispered something to Electra who in turn giggled. Tugger turned around to look at them and asked, "What are you whispering about?"
"N-nothing, T-tug-ger", said Electra quickly.
"Don't keep secrets from me!" Tugger whined and gestured to Misto, "Misty blast them."
Electra squealed and took cover with Jemima watching her with slight concern on her face. Misto glared and Tugger and BOOM!
Tugger's face was covered in ash and his mane was fringed.
"You burned his mane off!" Jemima whispered.
"Well someone had too", he said and walked away.
The next morning Tugger's mane hadn't grown back yet and he was quite angry with Misto, "What are you going to do now, burn my tail?"
"Sorry Tugger...", whispered Misto, "Just never ever tell people I like Victoria!"
"So you admit that you like Victoria", said Tugger slyly. Misto blushed tomato red again and whispered, "Don't tell anyone. I really like her but seduction is more you or Alonzo."
"What are you talking about? All the Princesses love you! They're always fawning over you and playing with you", Tugger exclaimed. Misto shook his head and replied, "No, we're only friends, nothing more."
"Sure if that's what you claim", Tugger replied nonchalantly. At that moment, Etcetera and Jemima entered the den to see how Tugger was faring and they saw Misto and forgot about him.
"Misto, what are you doing here?" Etcetera squealed loudly. Both Tugger and Mistoffelees had to cover their ears, but Jemima was already accustomed to Etcetera's noise.
"Can you show us some magic tricks?" Etcetera asked while hopping around him until he felt thoroughly dizzy. Tugger gave him an I-told-you-so smirk.
"Uh-sure Cettie", he replied and said, "I need a volunteer who is brave beyond anything."
Tugger immediately jumped up and said, "Oh, oh, me, I'm brave, choose me Mistymouth!"
Misto rolled his eyes and snarled, "Don't call me that, Tugger."
"Tugger's braver than anything", Etcetera squealed causing Tugger to wince and Misto to cower down. But Misto ignored both of them and picked Jemima. Tugger sniffed indignantly and said, "Jem, she's brave? Ha!"
Jemima smiled shyly and stood in front of Misto waiting for him to do some magic. He placed a shotglass on her head and told her, "I'm going to shoot an arrow straight at the glass, okay?"
She nodded in fright but agreed to it anyway, since Misto was pretty trustworthy. Misto turned around and whispered to his two audience members, "Don't tell her this, but I haven't practiced archery in my whole life."
Tugger gave a high-pitched giggle while Etcetera looked horrified. Out of nowhere Misto pulled out a bow and two arrows. Quicker than the eye could see he shot two arrows in succession. The shotglass shattered and Jemima relaxed as Tugger whistled and applauded.
When Tugger persuaded Jemima to come with him to his den, alone, Misto rolled his eyes. Along the way Tugger asked, "So, you have a thing for Mistymouth?"
"No, why?" the shy calico asked.
"Well you were brave enough to stand in front of him and allow him to almost kill you", he blabbered. She blushed and replied, "Only a friend."
"Only? It looks like it's more than that, Jemima, you'd better tell me", he warned her. She giggled and said seriously, "No, I don't."
"Do any of you kittens like him?" Tugger asked casually. Jemima shook her head and said, "Only a friend."
"So he WAS right!" Tugger exclaimed excitingly as Jemima gave him a puzzled look. She touched his burned off mane and asked, "And you?"
"And me what?" he asked and she replied, "Do you like him?"
"Don't tell him this babe, but I like him a lot and I'm thinking about asking him out to the movies next week", he half-joked. Jemima gave a quizzical look and whispered, "Really?"
"Yeah", Tugger said realizing it was true, "And hot-stuff, can you say things that are longer than 4 words long?"
"No", she replied and followed him to his den.
Review? Please? If you don't I'll make Misty burn off your mane too!
