Munkustrap (Munk) and Alonzo (Lonz)
*Alonzo's POV*
The warm August sun beat down on the Jellicle junkyard. The adults – and even the kittens – were staying indoors to keep cool. Munkustrap, however, was outside patrolling the junkyard. He sat on the TSE-1 car in a shady area, scanning the area. He looked up to see me plop down next to him.
"Whew!" I said, wiping my forehead. "Today's a scorcher."
Munk nodded tiredly. "I'm sure even Macavity won't show up in this heat," he yawned.
"Hey, why don't you go home and stay cool for a bit?" I suggested. "I'll take over now."
"Really?" Munk perked up. "That'd be great. Thanks, Lonz." I nodded and the black – and – silver striped tom stood up. He stretched out, and I couldn't help but run my eyes hungrily over my best friend. Munk gave another nod and headed to his den.
Munkustrap wasn't your typical cat. He was more firm and barely had time for fun. Even as a kitten he had a hard time having fun since he was to become the Protector. His eldest brother, Macavity, was originally supposed to be the Protector, but lacked the qualifications, thus having Munk (who did have the qualifications) train instead.
I was the best friend of Munkustrap. I guess you could say I was sort of a mixture between Munk and Rum Tum Tugger. I'm protective like Munk but almost as big of a flirt as Rum Tum Tugger. What's really cool is that I'm the second – in – command to Munk, which gave me great pride. I get to spend some alone time with Munk. Oh…I might as well mention that I'm gay, which is why I like being around Munk so much.
Pretty soon the sun began to set and the heat died down. The kittens scrambled out of their dens to release their energy. The queen kittens ran straight to Rum Tum Tugger, who was just coming out of his den. I watched Munk emerge with his queenfriend, Demeter. I turned away with jealousy as he gave her a quick kiss before joining me on the car.
"So, how was the rest of the morning?" Munk asked as he sat down.
"Pretty quiet," I replied. "Except when Etcetera squealed at Tugger."
Munk laughed. "Yeah, I heard that. Well, I can take over again. Go do something fun today." He smiled at me.
"Alright." I hopped off the car. "Have fun!"
*Munkustrap's POV*
I watched the black – and – white patched tom walking away while swinging his hips. It was obvious that he had been watching Tugger. He looked good whenever he walked around or danced, always swinging his hips and smiling. I found that I was still watching Lonz and I snapped back to reality. Why would I be having these thoughts about my best friend?
"Pull it together, Munk!" I said to myself. "You have a queenfriend, remember?"
I groaned and smacked my forehead. I totally forgot to tell Lonz my news. I was going to ask Demeter to be my mate this week! But somehow the feeling wasn't a spectacular as I wanted. I feel good with Demeter, but I feel like there's something that's not right.
A crash followed by a squeal came from behind the car. I sighed and walked over, already knowing who it was that caused the noise. A can was sitting upright and a pair of brown and white patched legs were flailing in the air. I grabbed the legs and pulled the kitten out.
"Thanks Munk!" Pouncival said.
"Pouncival, how in Everlasting Cat did you end up in that can?"
"I thought I saw a mouse scurry into it and when I put my head it I found out I was stuck. I yanked myself free but fell down the pile of junk."
"And was there a mouse?"
"No," the small kitten admitted. I chuckled to myself. Pouncival was a really sweet kitten, but he finds himself stuck in the weirdest places. Just the other day we found him squished inside a clear water bottle. He told us that he was pretending to be in a rocket ship and flying to the Heaviside Layer.
I noticed a small cut behind his ear. "Pounce, can you go to your mother and have her fix that up?" He nodded and scampered off to Jenny, his mother. I sighed and went back to the clearing. I came back to hear another crash and found Pouncival trapped inside a small box. He grinned sheepishly at me.
Today was just going to be one of those days.
