Hello my loves! I'm back with another AlonzoxBomba fic, the sequel to Tangled Up In Me. It's sets a few months after they get together and alot has changed since they did! You might find the beginning quite slow, but Bombalurina and Alonzo'll be back to their cheeky flirting soon! Oh, I've stopped using my '&' signs, hope this makes it easier for you all to read :) Enjoy!

'Just leave it, Alonzo!' Cassandra cried, throwing her paws into the air.

'Cass, what's wrong?' Alonzo asked softly, putting his arms out to her to restrain her.

'Get your paws off of me! I'm fine, just leave me alone!' She swatted Alonzo's paws away and stormed out of their den and into the junkyard. Alonzo stared after her, wondering what made her set off this time. She's been acting like this all week, what's wrong with her?

He threw himself onto a cushion and held his head in his paws, thinking of what he could have done to have upset her so. But could think of nothing. He looked out of the doorway and scanned the junkyard to find someone he could confide in to discuss Cassandra's recently developed strange ways. He spotted Victoria and Jemima practising lifts & spins together and Etcetera and Electra trying to copy them. They're only kits, the wouldn't understand. Jennyanydots and Jellylorum were sewing Gus and Skimbleshanks scarves to wear during the winter, I don't want to disturb them. Exotica and Cassandra were sitting casually atop of the TSE1 exchanging concerned looks, I can't go to Exotica - she'd just tell Cassandra. He sighed sullenly when he realised who he would have to ask, the queen who he wanted to avoid the most; Bombalurina.

He looked out onto Cassandra and stared at her sadly. You have to do this if you want to make things work with Cass. He primped his fur in the mirror before setting out to Bombalurina's den, skeptical of what events the visit may hold. He knocked at her door and looked around the junkyard to make sure no one could see him. Bombalurina opened the door and leaned her body against the doorway and stared down to Alonzo with a mischievous glint in her eye.

'Oh, Alonzo. I wasn't expecting you to come here anytime soon.'

Alonzo stared the ground and cleared his throat. 'It didn't mean anything Bombalurina.'

'Didn't seem like it to me.' she purred over her shoulder, sauntering into her den, leaving the door open as a gesture for Alonzo to come in.

Alonzo scowled and started fidgeting with his paws.

'Are you coming in or not, Alonzo.' she shouted, her voice laced with a seductive and tempting tone. He looked up to her and his mouth fell open. She was draped across a cushion, her tail swaying from side to side slowly, her hazel eyes staring at him, almost seeing right trough him, a small smirk on her face. Alonzo shook his head, that was a long time ago - you're with Cassandra now - don't fall under her spell again.

'Calm down Miss Priss.' he replied flatly, walking into her den.

'Miss Priss?' she repeated, one eyebrow raised. 'That's a real nice way to greet an old flame ..'

'Bombalurina. Stop it! I'm here to ask you about Cassandra.'

Bombalurina began to manicure her claws and moved her eyes up slowly to meet Alonzo's gaze.

'Why have you come to me about it?'

Alonzo shrugged. Why had he come to her about it? 'Well .. I figured you'd know about stuff like that.'

'Like what?'

'I dunno .. she's been acting really weird lately.'

Bombalurina scoffed and stared back down to her paws, 'I think that's just Cass, Alonzo.'

'Tell me about it, I never thought it would end like this even from the beginning ..' His sentence trailed off as he noticed Bombalurina's eyes stare to the ground in a manner which showed discomfort and awkwardness.

She managed a flat laugh, 'Yeah well, makes you realise what you had, eh Lonz?' and began picking at her claws viciously.

'Bombalurina .. I realised that a long time ago.' he replied softly.

Bombalurina frowned and sat up, 'Why did you come here? Of all the queens you could have bitched to about Cassandra you come to me - why?'

Alonzo stared at Bombalurina, unable to answer. He stammered, but nothing would come out of his mouth. Did you hurt her that bad? He gazed into her eyes and saw the misery behind all the teasing and flirting. He pulled her towards him and kissed her, Bombalurina placed her paws on his head & ran her claws through his fur. Alonzo had forgotten her touch. How soft it was, but it somehow managed to make his skin tingle and shiver in delight. He tore his lips from hers and stood up briskly and brushed the potruding patches of fur where Bombalurina had touched. 'I need to go.' he raced out of the den & into the junkyard. Bombalurina watched after him & licked his lips, he'll be back.

Alonzo walked through the junkyard and sat atop a fence to begin patrolling. Thoughts of Bombalurina racing through his mind. He remembered how he had chased her, the night they had first kissed. The struggle he subdued to tear her away from Tugger, just to cast her away like an old rag. He had left her for the queen who had left him for Admetus, but ran back to her when she had finished with him at the swish of her tail. He was just as bad as Tugger was.

'Looks like you lost.'

'I lost? Honey, this was all part of the game.'

He sighed. Had he really went to see her about Cassandra? You went there thinking of anything but Cassandra. He shook his fist & sprawled across the fence & watched the junkyard. His head resting on his paws, his brow furrowed as he lay absentmindedly. Stroking the patch on his arm where Bombalurina had last touched him.

'Some help you are protecting us.'

Alonzo spun round in surprise & fell off the side of the fence whilst doing so, but managed to maintain his balance by a clinging to the narrow strip of wood with a single claw & pounced back onto the fence to be greeted by Bombalurina who had a small smile on her face.

'Coming from you! I nearly broke my arm!' he wailed, licking his arm in comfort.

'Aww, Lonzy,' she said in a mock sing-song voice, her lips scrunching up into her nose cutely. Her face dropped & it held a sincere expression 'We need to talk.'

Alonzo stared up to her uneasily, 'That was a one off.'

Bombalurina scoffed, 'You know fine well it wasn't Alonzo,' Alonzo opened his mouth to argue, but Bombalurina shot her paw over his lips & moved her face closer to his & whispered into his ear, 'But I won't tell if you won't.'

She bit her lip & smiled at him mischievously before jumping off the fence, caressing underneath his chin with her tail as she went. Alonzo turned to watch her & found himself mesmerized by her movement. He grinned broadly like he hadn't done in months - not since he had first caught her.
