Authors Note: This is my first Tom and Jerry story so be gentle.

(Note: This is an alternate universe where cats, dogs, and mice are human-animal hybrids/half-bloods. They're fur color is the color of their hair, they have their ears sticking out of their heads, and they have their tails, that is all.)

Thunder boomed and lightning struck as Spike and Tom rode on a boat trying to ride the choppy waters to their hometown. Spike was a buff, fair-skinned, half-blood dog he had brownish-grey hair and dog ears. His ears we're pointed with pink insides and his tail was slender, small, and pointed as well. Spike wore a red shirt, jeans, and spiked chocker. Finally Spike had an anchored tattoo on his left upper arm. Tom was a skinny, fair-skinned, half-blood cat he had greyish-blue hair and cat ears as his tail was long and fluffy.
His eyes we're a bright emerald green as he wore a white shirt, blue vest, and jeans. Tom held onto a barrel of fish while Spike manned the ships wheel.
"I told you we should've gone back sooner." Spike said,
"I just wanted one more catch!" Tom replied.
"And look where that got us!" Spike screamed over the waves, suddenly though the boat was nearly sunk by a large wave. Spike and Tom held onto whatever they could for a moment to steady themselves. Once the two we're settled Tom spoke,
"We need to dock!" He said. Spike sighed as much as he didn't want to be knew Tom was right the longer they we're in the water the more likely they'd sink. Spike then began to steer the boat towards the nearest island as lightning struck. It took a while to get to the island but when they did however lightning struck the ship and it split into two. The two halves of the ship sank as Spike and Tom came up for air.
"Just great, I hate getting wet." Tom complained, as he watched his barrel of fishsank into water.
"Getting wet is apart of life, come on we're almost there." Spike replied as his cat acquaintance sighed, the two then swam to shore taking a break on the edge of the beach. But as the two got a look at their surroundings Spike and Tom saw that only a few feet away from them the rest of the island was surrounded by a thick, tall, and large gate.
"Oh no, not this island, turn back! Turn back!" Tom said,
"We need to stay somewhere for the night." Spike argued as he got up walking towards the gate.
"Spike, haven't you heard the rumors?" The cat said,
"Yes, but they're just rumors they're not true." The dog replied as he knocked on the gate.
"Oh and just randomly knocking on mysterious gates on uncharted islands is a good idea." Tom replied sarcastically as he smacked his forehead, the two half-bloods then waited for a few seconds but nothing happened. "Oh well looks like no one is here time to go." Tom said, before a spotlight landed on him and Spike. The two looked up and saw several dark figures looking at them from atop the gate each of the having ruby red eyes. Tom and Spike gulped,
"Alright we need to go now." The cat said but before anything could be done the gate suddenly opened. Tom and Spike stepped back from the gate and the two looked past the doors to see a paved road the appeared to have berry bushes lining the edges of the path. After a few moments a white mouse came down from the top of the gate and walked into view holding a fire-lit torch. The mouse was obviously female as she had white hair, mouse ears, ruby red eyes, and a pink tail that was tiredly held up. The mouse was small (just like every other mouse), she wore a two-piece sky blue fur loincloth, one piece was tied around her neck and upper belly the other was tied around her waist.
A ruby red jewel hung from the mouse's neck that was in the shape of a heart. Finally the female mouse had sky blue make-up around her eyes, nose, and cheeks. The mouse eyed the two in wonder as the other mice came down from the top of the gate as well. Tom and Spike both felt a little unnerved as the mice eyes stared directly at them.
"…..Hello….do you wish to come in?" The female mouse said in a quiet and delicate voice,
"Uhh….well…" Tom started only to get cut off.
"Yes." Spike said,
"Spike—" Tom argued until the dog beside him pulled his tail.
"Wonderful, do come in." The female mouse said, and Spike walked in with Tom following as a bad feeling became aparent in his gut.

Tom looked back at the gates as they closed, and once they fully closed the mice came down from ladders and ran off to their respective homes to get away from the storm.
"Follow me." The female mouse said and Tom and Spike followed, the cat and dog looked around to see that on both sides of the path there were dome shaped, mouse-sized houses. Each house had buckets surrounding them, the buckets catching the rain water that slide from the roofs.
"Where are you taking us?" Tom asked,
"Well normally in this situation I'd take you to our leader but he's asleep. So I'm going to take you to my friend Jerry, he has an extra room as he should be able to look after you for the night and take you to our leader in the morning." The female mouse replied as she neared one of the houses, she gently knocked on the door and waited patiently.
"And what's your name?" Spike asked,
"My name is Kundanashree." Kundanashree said before the door opened revealing a mouse an inch taller then her. The mouse before her had light brown hair and ears, he wore a one-piece pale green dyed fur loincloth around his waist, he had ruby red eyes, just like the female mouse he wore a ruby red jewel around his neck. Amd finally he had pale green make-up on his cheeks only in a design of a spiral.
"Hello Jerry, do you mind if I had over these guests to you?" Kundanashree asked, Jerry yawned rubbing his eyes before looking up at Tom and Spike. He jumped back slightly his tail drooping before he regained a more friendly appearance.
"Oh…well…ye-yeah….of course! I don't mind." Jerry said, in a quiet and delicate voice as he regained his composure. He then stepped inside allowing Tom and Spike in the two ducked their heads to get inside and once they we're in Jerry shut the door. Jerry then snapped his fingers and Spike and Tom looked up to see several yellow jewels we're embedded into the ceiling, the jewels then began to glow lighting up the room. Tom and Spike saw the room was a mashup of a kitchen and a living room. The right part of the room was the living room on that side it had a oval table with three seats and an animal skin rug while the kitchen had pots, pans, caldrons, and other cooking items each organized in wooden boxes.
And finally at the front of the room (where the living room ended) there we're three rooms two of the rooms only having doorways while the third had a closed door.
"The bathroom is the one with the closed door if you wish to wash yourselves off then take one of the buckets around my house. If not I have other loincloths that might fit you while your other clothes dry. If you need me I'll be in my room, but please try not to wake me." Jerry said as he walked into his room letting out a yawn.
"Spike, I hope you know what your doing." Tom said,
"Of course I do, I mean what could go wrong in a cute little village like this." Spike replied and the cat shook his head incredulously.
