Beware! Slash-y! I'll try to update soon.


"Munkustrap? You here?" The silver tabby mentioned looked up and sighed, knowing he wasn't going to be able to hide away from the world for much longer. He uncurled himself from Tugger and emerged from their den near the old car.

"Here, Bomba" The red queen turned and grinned upon sight of him. Knowing that his fur would be in a mess, he raised an eyebrow and prompted her "What do you want?"

"Looking for Etcetera, I-" They both stilled at a loud crash from behind the junk. The deep growling and heavy footsteps had their claws out and senses up. No cat moved like that. A dog crashed out, snarling and bloodshot eyes fixed upon them.

"Bomba" Munkustrap hissed, dropping into an attacking stance "Get the kittens out of here"

"I won't leave you" She replied, golden eyes fixed upon the pollicle.

"Go" She hesitated, but at the commanding tone in his voice she sprinted away, turning a corner to round up the kittens and leave them under the protection of the clan's warriors.

The dog snarled again and leapt forward, smashing into Munkustrap with nearly enough force to knock him over. He managed to keep his balance and claw at the pollicle's muzzle as it rolled away, whimpering.

"Tugger!" Hoping that the deep-sleeping cat had heard him, he threw himself at the dog, claws gouging while the dog bit and tried to beat him away. A muffled curse and the sound of paws alerted him to back up, and the dog looked between them, weighing his chances against two fully-grown strong cats.

The dog growled something before bounding away through the junkyard. As Bombalurina and several of the other toms ran up, Rum Tum Tugger rested a hand on his shoulder, an eyebrow quirked in question.

"You'll pay? What does that mean?"
