It's that time again. Yep, time for Me to have a brand new obsession resulting in the need to write a brand new fanfic about it! This time it is Cats. One of my friends was watching it and obssessed and kept sending me links, so on Halloween I decided to watch the whole musical. Freakin love it! I've been watching it over and over and over and over, and I love how I can catch little things each time I rewatch it.
My favorite characters are Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer! They're just so entertaining, and made me realize something: Hikaru and Kaoru from Ouran, Fred and George Weasley from Harry Potter, Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer from...well, duh. The best characters always come as mischievous duos!
Onto the fanfic! This is based off a rp with me and the mentioned above. Mungo and Teazer are mates and not siblings in this fanfic. The only OC I plan on adding into the series is their daughter, Merrielle. It was kinda funny when the rp was started really. Usually we make characters and they get paired with an existing character in the series, but with Cats...that just felt..not right. Maybe it's because I'm fangirling over a relationship this time instead of a character, so instead of having the urge to make a character to pair with one of the characters I had the urge to create the offspring of those characters. I mean, I just couldn't break up Mungo and Teazer! That's such a horrible thought.
Their accents...do not expect me to type out of their accents XD I have no experience with typing out accents and I do not want to butcher anything! Seriously, expect me to walking on ice with this fanfic. Cats still feels pretty new to me and I'm so afraid of ruining some part of or some character in the musical with this. I feel like I have to me more careful here than with any other fanfic I've written!
Finally, a little note on the first four chapters: I have the first four chapters basically planned out in my mind. Nothing big plotwise will happen, but I hope they'll be fun to read anyway. Without revealing too much (because spoilers are no fun no matter how small), this one will be about Mungo, the second will be Teazer's chapter, then the third will be related to Mungo, Teazer, and Macavity, and the fourth will go over to the junkyard and the cats there. All four of these chapters will be related to Merrielle and her birth. Basically, read the summary and that should give you some idea of the focus of each chapter. Then starting in chapter five expect a time skip so the REAL fun of the fanfic can begin. Just wanted to get that out there a bit so I get upset readers going, "WTF? This is so slow and boring." If it is slow and boring, I promise it won't be once Chapter 5 gets here! Trust me!
Sadly, I do not own Cats or the characters from the musical. I do have the joy of owning Merrielle, though =3 Excuse all typos. I promise I proofread before posting, but I might not get everything.
In the living room of a house situated in Victoria Grove, a calico queen was curled around her newborn kit. Surrounding the queen was a young girl named Chloe and her friends. Standing over the queen was her mate, a calico tom who had stood there looking up at the girls ever since Chloe had brought her friends over to see the new kitten. They were crouching around her, each of them trying to get a good look at the sleeping kitten. This was hard because the kit looked so much like her mother that she seemed to blend into the queen's fur.
"She's adorable!" one of the girls whispered to Chloe.
"I know!" Chloe replied, "I can't wait until she's old enough for me to play with her. But mom and dad said I should just leave them alone for now."
Then leave us alone, The tom meowed up at the human girls, not that they could understand him. All they heard come out was a yowl, which Chloe took to mean he wanted to pet. She complied with the misunderstood request, and soon the cat was reluctantly purring as she scratched under his chin, his tongue slightly hanging out the side of his mouth.
Unlike the humans, the queen understand everything her mate said and replied with a, It's useless, Jerrie. They'll leave soon. Despite how she seemed to dismiss the actions of the girls as harmless, the queen still curled around the kitten a little more in protection.
Chloe once again misunderstood her cat's meaning. Again all she heard was a meow and all she saw was the queen turning to look at the tom as she did so.
"Sounds like someone's jealous," Chloe said, using her free hand to rub the queen's head . Unlike Mungojerrie, Rumpleteazer was not so willing to give in to the comfort of a human's hand. She hissed at the girl and bent her head down to bathe her newborn kit. Teazer hadn't been very nice to anyone who came near her except Mungo ever since their kit had been born. Chloe's hand quickly shot back, but the one she'd used to start petting Mungo had moved to scratch the top of his head.
I just want you to have some peace, Teazer… His statement wasn't a very convincing one to his mate, not with the way he seemed to be enjoying the treatment from Chloe.
All Teazer did was blink and give him a, Traitor, which Mungo did nothing to deny. Eventually, Chloe's arm got tired and she stopped the petting, much to Mungo's disappoint. When she did Mungo lowered his head to butt it against Teazer's and nuzzle her in apology. The surrounding girls all exclaimed about how cute the two were being before Chloe's mother called them away, saying that it was time to leave the cats in peace.
Once the human girls were gone, Mungo moved from his position to curl up by Teazer. She was still bathing their little Merrielle. At least, Merrielle was the name Teazer and Mungo had given her. The humans had decided to call their daughter Misty, just like they called her parents Bonnie and Clyde instead of Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer. Apparently the humans found something cute about the names, but Mungo just thought they were stupid.
Mungo leaned in close, trying to get a good look at their daughter. Ever she'd been born Mungo had been trying to figure out which of them she looked like more. It was hard to tell the differences between Mungo and Teazer, they were very subtle. Besides the fact that he was a tom and she a queen, the next biggest difference was that Teazer had more white fur than he did. He'd been using that to help him figure out which parent Merrielle took after, and so far it was looking like Merri was going to take after her mother.
As he watched the two females in his life, Mungo couldn't help purring with pride. There was just something about being a parent that made him feel that way. He was proud of this new little life he and Teazer had created, and proud of what Merri was going to become. Mungo had great hopes that this kit would follow in her parents' footsteps and cause just as much trouble as they did.
