I can't help myself. I MUST WRITE MORE FANFICTION. MUAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHH! NO ONE CAN STOP ME! Anyways, this is unedited so there are gonna be grammatical errors. Also, a word of warning: This tackles some depressing themes so be careful, cause I care about your mental state. Finally, this is gonna be a series of short stories, all uploaded around the same time unlike Jellicle House. Mkay, let's begin.

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer were walking down a long, winding road at twilight. They had thoroughly ransacked the shops along the way, holding large bags filled with multiple small, expensive items. Ru did her signature laugh, Jerrie hitting her in the side, hushing her.

"Oh, come on! It's not like anyone'll here us!" Ru complained. Jerrie huffed.

"It doesn't matter! We must be silent, or else the cops'll be on us!" He said. Ru sighed.

"Ya know what, let's just go to that place and call it a night." She said. Jerrie sighed and nodded, the two walking over to the store. It was a jewelry shop, of all places. Ru was screeching on the inside with happiness, while Jerrie was frowning with how perfect the store was for his partner. The two pick the lock and enter the building, Ru immediately running over and shoving a bunch of stuff into her bag. Jerrie hushed her again.

"I told ya to hush! You're louder than Munkustrap's yells when stealing stuff!" He quietly yelled. Ru huffed, puffing out her cheek.

"Whatever, whatever." She said. She rummaged around some places, until coming across something odd, "Ey, Jerrie...isn't this one of Mac's explosives?" She asked. Jerrie looked at her.

"Yeah, wh-" he saw the red light on the device was on, "RU, IT'S ON!" He rushed forward, and in the moment it took Ru to realize the device was about to explode, it did...The room filled with flames and smoke, and Jerrie was launched back. He scrambled up.

"Ru! RU!" He ran forward, attempting to walk through the smoke and flames. He found her body, and dragged it out into the parking lot of the store. Jerrie shook Ru's body, which was covered in cuts and burns, "Ru! C'mon wake up!"

No response.

"Rumpleteazer!" He yelled, tears forming in his eyes, "Open your eyes! OPEN YOUR EYES!"

Still no response.

"RUMPLETEAZER!" He cried, tears falling from his face and onto his partner's body, "PLEASE!" His head dropped onto the ground in front of her body, filled with guilt and sorrow. After a while, someone walked up behind Mungojerrie. He looked behind him to find Macavity, a bored look on the ginger's face.

"Oh. Well then..." Macavity's face turned somewhat grim, the tom looking away, "Come on. We need to head back." Jerrie dropped his head back onto the ground, gripping his head.

"I can't leave her!" He sobbed. Macavity grabbed Jerrie by the wrist.

"You can't save her...she's gone..." he said. He whined louder.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" He held out his hand toward Rumpleteazer's body as he was dragged back to the junkyard.

"Munku, did you hear that explosion?" Mistoff had walked up to the Silver Tom, whilst the other was asleep. Munku slowly got up, rubbing his eyes.

"What explosion...?" He asked. Mistoff was about to answer, until they heard Jerrie's screams getting closer. They both looked in that direction, Munku standing. Macavity and Jerrie entered view, the Ginger dragging Jerrie onto the 'stage' and setting him down. The other two dashed down.

"What happened?!" Munku asked, looking at Macavity. The ginger shrugged.

"Dunno...they went in, the place exploded...and Rumpleteazer died..." He said, grimly. Munku and Mistoff's expression drooped. The three then turned their attention to Jerrie, who was slowly crawling back in the direction they came. Mistoff ran forward, holding the other back.

"You can't go back! You're already wounded from the blast!" He said. Jerrie attempted to wrestle his way out, Munku dashing over to aid Mistoff.

"Mistoffelees is correct, Jerrie. You mustn't go back out." Jerrie smacked their paws away.

"Get off me! I must go back for her!" He continued to crawl. Macavity sighed, and stepped forward, kneeling down in front of the tom. Jerrie looked up, eyes wide with fear and tears flowing down his face.

"Sorry about this." The ginger waved his hand oddly in front of Jerrie's face, causing the tom to fall to the ground, unconscious. Macavity stood, "He should be out for only a couple hours." The other two nodded.

"Mistoff, go get Jennyanydots." Munku said. The black tom nodded, and dashed off, "Macavity, can you carry Jerrie for me." The ginger sighed and picked up the knocked out tom, and followed Munku. Mistoff reappeared, Jenny rushing behind him. She ran forward.

"Oh, goodness! Why didn't you bring him sooner!" She shouted. Macavity huffed.

"It's not like we could, with him bawling his eyes out." he said. Munku smacked him in the back of the head. They set him down in his den, Jenny kneeling down.

"He seems to have some cuts, and minor burns. Mostly around his legs. I guess he walked through the fire to get his partner..." She huffed shakily, "I'll take care of him until the morning, you three go back to what you duties." The three nod, slowly walking away.

The next morning, Munku awoke to the sound of things being smashed. He jumped up quickly, dashing in the direction of the sound. Tugger had sashayed out at the same time. The silver tom huffed. His luck.

"Tugger, with me." He called. The maine coon huffed and nodded, the two walking in the direction of the sound: Mungojerrie's den. The two walk up, Munku's eyes widening. Jerrie was staggering around the den, smashing everything with a baseball bat. In between the slams of the bat, sobs could be heard coming from the tom. Munku and Tugger dashed forward, holding Jerrie back.

"Jerrie, that's enough!" Munku yelled. The tom struggled in the two's grip, eventually giving up. The only sound left was Jerrie's quiet sobs.

"Ru..." Jerrie said, "Ru...Ru..." He kept repeating her name. Munku and Tugger let him down, the tom falling to the floor.

"Jerrie...I know it's hard but...Rumpleteazer's gone...there's nothing we can do..." Munku said. Jerrie covered his face with his hands.

"I couldn't...protect her..." He sobbed, "I should've been the one...who died..." Munku kneeled down next to him.

"Ru wouldn't want you to think that...The silver tom said. Jerrie looked at him with wide eyes. Munku sighed and patted him on the head, "Get some rest...you need to recover..." Jerrie slowly nodded, and Munku stood. He and Tugger began to walk away, Jerrie watching them as they left his den. He let his hands fall to the ground, then his body.

The Jellicle Ball was here, and all the cats were scurrying about, preparing. Soon, a smash came from nearby. The kits scurried to the sidelines, hiding. Did Macavity come early? Did a fight break out? They waited in fearful anticipation. Who came out, however, made them all tilt their heads. Mungojerrie, but without Rumpleteazer. The kits hadn't been informed of Ru's death, only Jenny, Munku, Mistoff, Tugger, and Macavity knew. Jerrie breathed in shakily.

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer were a notorious couple of cats
As knockabout clowns, quick change comedians
Tight-rope walkers and acrobats

They had an extensive reputation
Made their home in Victoria Grove
That was merely their center of operation
For they were incurable given to rove

His voice was getting ever so shaky, trying not to breakdown in front of all of them. He sighed, and held up a bag of stolen items. He dropped it there, turned on his heal, and dashing off. The kittens slowly crawled back out, confused. Munku sighed and walked out, grabbing the bag Jerrie had dropped. He opened it, his eyes widening.

It was filled with jewelry; Rumpleteazer's jewelry. At the very top was a reel of photos of the two, making silly faces into the camera. The reel was stained with tears. Munku sighed, closing the bag and walking off. Some kits attempted to follow, but the silver tom shooed them. Their confusion was soon stopped by Tugger jumping into the area.

Munku dashed off to find Jerrie, hoping he was at his den. He got there to find no one. The silver tom dropped the bag, and began running to the only place he could think: the river. Jerrie, for the silliest of reasons, can't swim. Munku could see the river on the horizon: He was right. Jerrie was going to jump in and...let himself drown. The silver tom got there just in time to see the other jump in. He jumped in after, grabbing Jerrie and pulling him to shore. He set the tom down, both panting.

"Why...did you save me...?" Jerrie breathed.

"You idiot..." Munku replied.

"I just...want to see her again..." Jerrie sighed. He rolled over on his side away from Munku. The silver tom sighed.

"Come on. We need to head back." Munku helped Jerrie up. The tom stayed silent as Munku helped him walk back to the junkyard.

It was a few days after the ball. Things had quieted down in preparation for the winter weather that was going to be rolling in. Munku had been keeping a hidden eye on Mungojerrie, making sure the tom didn't try to do anything that would result in more problems. Jerrie, at the moment, was sitting in a small pocket under a pile of trash. He occasionally picked up a can or something else, and threw it across the ground. Kittens occasionally came by, looking at him, and occasionally asking him things.

"What're you doing here?" one asked. No response.

"Are you ok?" another asked. Still nothing. After a while, people just left him to mope. Jerrie huffed and stood, walking across the area back to his den. He slumped onto the ground, curling up and falling asleep.

"Jerrie..." a voice said. The tom awoke in complete darkness. He looked around.

"Jerrie!" he turned his head in the direction of the voice. With a puff of mist, and flash of light, Rumpleteazer stood before him. Jerrie looked at her in awe.

"R...Ru?!" He asked. She nodded.

"Yes! It's me!" She said, smiling. Jerrie looked onto the ground, beginning to cry.

"I...I've longed to see you..." He said through sobs. She knelt down in front of him, pulling his head to hers.

"It's alright. At last I can be with mum and dad." She whispered, "But...please. I need you to keep living..." She put her hand on his, and pressed it against his heart, "For both our sakes." Ru began to fade away. Jerrie's eyes widened.

"Please, Ru...please don't go!" He held out his arm as she began to drift away.

"Please..." She said, her voice growing ever quiet, "promise me..."

"RU!" Jerrie jolted up, looking around. He was back in his den, "Ru..." the tom put his hand to his heart, where she had, "Alright...I promise..." He murmured. Quick footsteps could be heard rushing to Jerrie's den. It was Munku.

"Jerrie! I heard a yell! Are you alright?!" He asked, kneeling next to him. Jerrie nodded, looking at Munku and smiling.

"Yeah...I just...got some closure..." He responded. Munku tilted his head.

"Um...alright." He responded, "If you're ok..." The silver tom stood and slowly walked away. Jerrie stood, dusting himself off. Welp, it was almost nightfall. Macavity must be upset with him taking such a long break. He dashed off to find his boss, smiling the widest he had in the longest time.

The Cardinal Virtue of Fortitudo. Yes, I'm going to name all of these after Bayonetta songs and angels. I'm doing it because it's fun and Bayonetta's an amazing game. *shrug* anyways, I hope this was excicuted good since feels are something I consider hard to do. Anyways, have a nice day :3
