Wookay, this is the deal; I'm not entirely sure where i'm going with this fic, so I didn't finish it all, but from what i've done of it i'll continue to write it if you like it! Please let me know what you think & if I should continue it & if possible give any scenes I could take influence from for Bombalurina & Pouncival (So far I only have the bum scratch in Rum Tum Tugger, the mating dance (most obvious one lol) & as Bombalurina is doing her solo in the Jellicle Ball, Pouncival stops & stares at her - it's the most adorable thing!) So yeah, also i'm really not sure if it'll turn out as a BombaxPounce or BombaxTugger - please give me feedback & any suggestions to the eventual outcome! Thankyou :)

'I'm going to ask Electra to the ball today, I just hope she'll say yes ..' Tumblebrutus said softly, imagining the situation & the possible positive & negative outcomes.

'Well i'm going to ask Bombalurina & she's going to say yes!' Pouncival declared, bobbing up & down in excitement.

Tumblebrutus rolled his eyes & his friend, he knew too well of Pouncival's feelings for the red queen. He had been infatuated with her since he had first clapped eyes on her. At first he thought it was just a silly crush on an older queen, but it had lately escalated into some kind of obsession.

'I'm going to kiss her again .. I've been practising!' He grinned.

'Yeah, just remember that you kissed her,' Tumble muttered & then realised what Pouncival had just said. 'Practising? On what?!' he cried, completely bewildered & somewhat disgusted at his best friend.

'On the back of my paw.'

'Your a sick tom, Pounce.'

'Whatever Tumble, you're just jealous cos I kissed the hottest queen in the junkyard! & we're in LOVE!'

Tumble scoffed, 'She's too old for you, man. Besides, Tugger'll have your tail if you go anywhere near her!'

Pouncival paused. He could not argue with that. 'Well .. she'll tell him where to go cos she has me now! & age is just a number!'

'Well, we'll see what Jenny has to say about that.'

Pouncival scowled at Tumble & rested his head in his hands. I'll get Bombalurina, just you wait Tumblesmartypantus.

'Hello Tumble & Pounce!'

Pouncival lifted his head to be greeted by Electra & Etcetera & put his head back down again. They were the last cats he wanted to see.

'H-hello Electra.' Tumble whispered, his cheeks blazing.

'What's wrong with Pouncival?'

'Queen troubles.' Tumble rolled his eyes & shook his head, which made Electra giggle.

'Speaking of queen's, w-would you like to go to the ball with me Electra?'

'YES!' Electra squealed & wrapped her arms around Tumblebrutus' neck, which made him blush harder.

Etcetera stared down at Pouncival & tapped her foot, expecting him to say something & sighed angrily when he didn't.

'Who're you taking to the ball Pounce?'

'I dunno.' he hissed. 'I need to go, I'll see you at the ball later Cetty.' Pouncival could not get away any faster from his friend's & hid inside a large pipe to think. He looked down onto the junkyard & all the hustle & bustle that it held. Munkustrap & Alonzo were patrolling, Jenny & Jelly were running about mad trying to organise the ball, Tugger was dancing for the queens ugh .. & He paused when he noticed Bombalurina sitting with him. Gazing into his eyes & laughing with him. His heart felt like had burst into a thousand little pieces & his eyes began to fill with tears.

'Sh-She loves me.' he sobbed, turning his head away from her. He tucked his knees up to his neck & cried into his fur. Tumble was right, she never loved me. Pouncival felt a shadow fall across him & was greeted by Tumblebrutus.

'Pounce, are you ok? I was looking everywhere for you.' Tumblebrutus had never seen Pouncival cry before, he was always so benevolent & chipper. This queen's got him good.

'You were right, Tumble.' he sniffed, wiping his tears away with his paws.

'No I wasn't Pounce .. I was just jealous that you kissed Bombalurina .. You never know what might happen at the ball tonight.'

Pouncival paused & thought about his friend's last sentence, you never know what might happen at the ball tonight. 'You're right Tumble, something's going to happen, I can feel it! C'mon we need to get ready!' Pouncival cried, grabbing Tumbebrutus' collar & pulling him out of the pipe before he could object. Pouncival smiled cheekily as he walked to his den, the memory of his & Bombalurina's kiss lingering on his mind & the hope that it may happen again at the ball. There was, of course, the problem of Tugger, but he could concern about that later.

Are you blind when you're born?

Can you see in the dark?

Can you look at a king? Would you sit on his throne?

Can you say of your bite that it's worse than your bark?

Are you cock of the walk, when you're walking alone?

Because Jellicles are & Jellicles do ..

Pouncival sang along to the song wonderfully, for his first ball he remembered the songs pretty well. He loved dancing & he knew he could catch Bombalurina's eye with it, especially after a few dance lessons from a certain Maine Coon.

I have a Gumbie cat in mind ..

Pouncival grinned cheekily, with a tap dancing solo how could he not impress Bombalurina? 'Pouncival what're you doing?' Tumblebrutus stared at his friend through his beetle goggles & watched him take centre stage with Jenny. Pouncival began to shake his hips sexily like the Rum Tum Tugger, but was interrupted by Jenny who smacked him & told him to wait for his cue. Pouncival smiled innocently & stared at Bombalurina who was singing with Jellylorum & Demeter, but she stopped to flash a quick wink & grin at Pouncival, before continuing the rest of the song before Jenny could smack her like she did to him.

'Bombalurina what the hell are you doing?' whispered Demeter through gritted teeth.

'Deme, it's his first ball, it should be memorable.' Bombalurina replied smiling cheekily at her sister.

Pouncival scrambled over to Tumblebrutus, gasping for breath. 'Did you see that?! I need to do it again!' Tumblebrutus opened his mouth to stop Pouncival, but the little tom had already ran into the centre of the junkyard. Tumblebrutus shook his head & joined the line to begin the tap dancing routine. Jenny walked along the line to make sure everyone was in place, Pouncival following her & pretending to stab her with a fork, much to Victoria & Jemima's delight. Pouncival's face was plastered in a clownish grin, but Jenny spun round & sent him back to the end of the line. He scowled & did as he was told, scanning the junkyard for Bombalurina, but she was nowhere to be seen. Pouncival pouted & sat on top of a large trash heap to look for her, but jumped in fear as Tugger burst into the junkyard with a loud meow. Pouncival stared upto Tugger, sure he has a mane, and he's tall & muscly but I bet he can't do this! With that, Pouncival backflipped onto the ground from the large heap & waited for his applause on his pristine landing, but everyone was too interested in Tugger. Bombalurina in particularly.

The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious BEAST!

Pouncival dashed over to dance with Plato & Tumblebrutus & he smiled at Bombalurina as he began to shake his little hips. Bombalurina didn't notice him however, as she was dancing with Tugger. Pouncival stared in awe at the couple dancing sensuously in the centre of the junkyard & then to Tumblebrutus who raised his eyebrow to say 'I told you so'. Pouncival looked to his feet, but flinched in surprise when the ground made a loud thump & he turned to see Bombalurina lying on the floor, scowling at Tugger. Pouncival's mouth dropped open in shock as she stood to her feet proudly & began to dance with him again, only to get bumped. Pouncival looked at Tumblebrutus sadly, 'Why does he treat her like that?' Tumblebrutus shrugged & ran into his spot when he noticed Jenny staring at them with wide eyes. Pouncival noticed a spot next to Bombalurina & raced into it & began to dance next to her.

'You're quite the little dancer.' she purred, flashing a knock-out smile at Pouncival.

'Thanks.' he replied shyly, blushing.

Abouuuut .. Abouuuuuuuut ..

Pouncival slid over into a dark shadow to let Tugger finish his song, but didn't notice Bombalurina run after him. He stared up to her, her long legs swaying in time to the music. Pouncival grinned & shoved his bottom in the air & purred when she began to stroke his legs. He shivered in delight as her claws brushed up & down against his fur & he fell to the ground in complete bliss. Pouncival opened his eyes lazily & giggled dreamily. Bombalurina stared down at the love-struck tom & smiled as he sat up & stared at her admirably, staring deep into her hazel eyes. Bombalurina turned away from him hastily, breaking their gaze & raised her paw to praise Tugger as the song began to finish. He's just a kitten, you don't love him.
