"Deuteronomy, I think you are onto something." Our father said with his paw to his mouth. "These boys are very special indeed. They had their first words quicker than any jellicle."
"Munkustrap, what do you see in their future?" Mother kindly asked my best friend.
"I see wonderful and incredible mates." Munk looked over at me while he said this. "I think they would be very good together. I see Tugger's happiness in Quaxo."
"Very well said Munkustrap. I agree, mother. I also see the future of heartbreaker in them both. Not that that is very good all the time. I see much more than just horrible little heartbreakers in them. I wish for the best for him." I told my mother with full truth and a smile.
"I think they will love each other too much to hurt many other hearts." Alonzo said with the smile he had when he practically predicted the birth of Quaxo. When Victoria was born Alonzo said ' I can't wait for that baby brother that is coming.'
Tugger and Quaxo looked up at Alonzo and just stared. They seemed kind of amused by Alonzo's thought. They didn't seem to object it, though. I still wonder, to this day, what they were thinking at that moment. Only they will know, if they remember.
-Welcome to kit school, Quaxo-
"Well, is this the tiny one I have heard so much about?" Jennyanydots asked me with her big smile.
I was the one that was bringing Quaxo to Kitten School. All of us were still going to kit school when Quaxo had his first day. The only thing I was worried about for little Quaxo was meeting so many new cats and his magic. They didn't mix well together and Quaxo doesn't know much about how to handle his magic.
"Yes, Miss Jenny. This is the wonderful little Quaxo." I had a proud smile across my face. I always had that smile when one of my siblings joined something with me. It was natural by now.
"Well, has he met anycat here?" Jenny gestured to all the cats around the room.
"He knows Tugger, they are super close. He knows Munkustrap, he was there to watch him grow with me. I believe thats it… Besides us, of course." I told her, for some reason I didn't have to list off like twenty cats. I guess Quaxo has been more alone then Alonzo and Victoria.
"Tuggie!" Quaxo ran to his best friend with his adorable smile.
"Quax!" Tugger met him in the middle with his little adorable smile as well.
"Maia, there you are. I thought that you weren't going to come!" Munkustrap met me by the boys.
"Hey, Munk. I'm sorry, I had to wake up three little ones this morning. I'm glad to even get here in a decent time." I chuckled a little but then gave him a hug.
"Maia, where is Plato?" Victoria asked me with her confused face. It was so adorable that I almost forgot to answer her.
"Over there, Victoria. Etcetera and him seem pretty close." I pointed and commented to her. She looked at me with her mouth open.
"No, him and Etcetera can't be. Etcetera is obsessed with the new kitten in our group." Victoria pointed at a new face, indeed. "That is Acer. He is pretty cute but i'm more of a Plato girl." She then skipped over to Plato and wrapped her arm around him.
"Maia! Maia!" Alonzo was yelling at me but I was to distracted by Victoria's new sudden over interest in Plato. He yelled again "Maia! Where is she?"
"Who?" I said, finally out of my daze. "Oh, Electra? Over there, sweet." He ran over to Electra and did his jazz paws.
"Maia, you okay?" Munkustrap looked at me with consern. "I want to talk to you."
"I'm fine. What do you want to talk about?" I looked at him, right in the eyes.
"Did you see where Quaxo and Tugger went?" He looked around over and over.
"I don't know! Ummmm… We need to go searching right now." I jumped into action and started the search. "Quaxo! Tugger! Where are you two?" I yelled on and on.
I saw a vision of where Quaxo was. I defintely saw Tugger there, as well. "Follow me, Munk!"
I ran and he followed. We ran and ran until I saw them. Quaxo was using his magic and Tugger was watching. "Boys… You know you are supposed to be in the den. It is cold out here. Look at you Quaxo, you can't see the white on you anymore. You are black and pink colored right now. Come on, we are going to go back." Munk and I picked the boys up and they sank into our fur. We carried them all the way back, a long walk. The bad part was that we couldn't run.
We eventually got back to the kit school den. They were super cold and so were we. It was just to cold in the open for us. Good thing that Jenny had some spare blankets for us to cover up with.
"Munkustrap, why wasn't I as cold as Quax? We were out there the same amount of time." Tugger wasn't the most observant little kitten… Which meant that he didn't notice that he has a lot more fur than Quaxo.
"Well, Tugger. Quaxo was more cold because he has less fur than you do." Munkustrap told him and pointed to the sleeping Quaxo in my arms.
"Tugger, there isn't anything to worry about. He just has less fur because you are a Maine Coone and he is a Tuxedo. There is defintely a difference between the two." I told the little kitten.
"Okay, Maia and Munk. That seems to cover it all." He paused and looked at the ground. "Now, if I cuddled with him… Would he get warmer quicker? I would do it for Quax." He looked over at me.
"If you want to cuddle with him, Tugger. It would be fine if you did. I'm sure he'd be fine with it." I laid Quaxo down on the blanket and Tugger crawled over to him.
They cuddled for a long time. I was glad that they were fine. If not, this story would not be so happy.
I looked around and then spoke to Munkustrap."Munk, I love this but… where is Victoria and Alonzo?"
-Welcome to the Jellicle Ball, Quaxo!-
"Quaxo, can you believe it? It is time for the Jellicle Ball! You are finally old enough. Although you won't be able to join the Mating Dance until next ball. I'm sure you will have an amazing time, Quaxo. Remember, Tugger will be there as well so you won't get to bored when it is time for you little ones to just watch." I was getting Quaxo ready for the Jellicle Ball tonight and speaking to him at the same time. I considered myself a multi-tasker at that time.
"Yeah, the Mating Dance has to wait for me. I can't wait until next year though. I'll be able to be in the whole ball!" Quaxo was super happy, but it was for the wrong year. I wish at that moment that he knew what was going to happen later that night.
"Quaxo, that's what you don't understand. Just being able to be in the ball is a big thing. Yes, next year may be better, but think of the fun you and your friends could have tonight. I bet you will all have an amazing time. Don't sweat the future so much, Quaxo." I told him with a smile, hoping that he would smile back.
"Yes, Maia." He smiled to me. "I can't wait for tonight. I can't wait to hang out with Tugger. I can't wait for the wonder of the night."
-After the ball-
I couldn't help but think the whole time 'Who would Quaxo do the mating dance with next year?'.
"Maia, you and Tobias were amazing at the mating dance! You looked so into the dance!" Victoria was acting so amazed, jumping and yelling.
I sighed and then replied. "Not as good as Munkustrap and Alonzo. They looked so in love. I can't believe that they actually did the dance… I thought Munk wasn't going to do it." I was originally going to ask Munkustrap to do the mating dance with me, but then he went with Alonzo… I was kind of heart-broken… Good thing little Quaxo was there to keep a smile on my face.
"Maia, I'm going to cry…" Quaxo was walking slowly with a frown upon his face. He had a smile the whole ball, from what I saw.
"What's wrong, Quaxo? Are you okay?" I ran over to him and gave him a hug then let him speak.
"I think I like someone… I don't think they would ever like me back though…" He just started crying and walked to his bedroom.
"What? Quaxo might like someone?" I stared at the ground, not knowing what to do.
