This was just a short little thing I came up with a little bit ago. Thought it was cute. I love writing about the Jellicles when they were younger.
"No way I'm doing that! That's a stupid dare." Tugger growled. He, Alonzo, and Mungojerrie were sitting on the TSE-1 car trunk. It was the first full day of summer vacation, after their second year of middle school, and they were already bored. They had decided that the only remedy to this would be to play a game of dares.
The other people would dare one person to do something, and if they didn't do it, then they would be labeled a chicken and would owe everyone in the group 10 dollars. It was hard to tell which penalty was worse.
"Come on, Tugger, you gotta do it!" Alonzo whined. The stubborn maned Tom crossed his arms over his chest.
"No. Way." He said through gritted teeth.
"Foine! Den ya owe us 10 smackers, ya chicken!" Mungo called, grinning.
"I don't even have 10 dollars!"
"Then I guess you better do the dare." Alonzo said with a fake evil laugh. Tugger's ears flattened on his head. He mumbled something angrily under his breath and hopped off of the car, his hands bunching at his sides. His friends followed closely behind him, exchanging glances.
He came up to a small group of Queens consisting of Bombalurina, Demeter, and Cassandra. They were whispering and giggling about something. Probably something girly like nail-polish. They turned to face him one by one. Demeter glared at him, and Cassandra was trying to flutter her eyelashes at him, something she had started fairly recently.
His breath caught as he saw Bomba, though. She must have recently gone to Jenny and gotten her hair cut. It was falling in her bright brown eyes as she looked up at him, manicured eyebrows raised, in a skeptical gesture.
"Yes, Tugger?" She asked. When had she gotten so pretty? He shook his head at the thought, and motioned for her to stand up from her cross-legged position on the ground. She obliged, questioning in her eyes.
He cleared his throat and looked at the ground, suddenly nervous. He looked back at his friends, who were flapping their arms and mouthing the word "chicken."
With renewed vigor, he grabbed her wrists an yanked her forward, crashing his lips onto hers. He heard her freeze slightly with surprise, then she relaxed into his arms, wrapping hers around his neck. It was intoxicating and glorious and down right awesome.
He could hear his friends hooting behind him, and all he could think was "Best dare ever."
