Current Day- Jellicle Junkyard
It was hot.
No-it wasn't. It was boiling, humid, stuffy, suffocating, and downright burning. Too scorching to dance or work, let alone do something productive. Instead, a group composed of Admetus, Alonzo, Bombalurina, Cassandra, Demeter, Mungojerrie, Rumpleteazer, Munkustrap, and the Rum Tum Tugger sat in various positions in what little shade they could make. They had taken a torn up piece of bed sheets and made a little fort. It was barely big enough to hold everyone, so they were all in closer proximity then they probably would have cared for. The kittens had all left to go exploring or something of the kind, and, of course, the older cats had followed. No one quite knew where Coricopat and Tantomile were, but, then again, you never really knew with those two.
"It's so hot..." Bombalurina moaned.
Tugger looked over at her, grinning weakly. "I know I am."
Demeter let loose a groan of frustration from her face down position on the other side of her sister. If you could have seen her face, she probably would have rolled her eyes.
"Stuff it already, Tugger. We all know you're a narcissistic, self-important idiot, no need to point it out."
There was a soft chuckle from Munkustrap. Tugger made a face at her, but stayed silent, for once, to fried to come up with a half decent retort. He figured he had it especially bad. What with his black coat and fluffy mane, you'd think he was born for Alaska. Actually, he wouldn't mind Alaska very much right now. Or a pool.
"You don't think the kittens went to the pool, do you?" He asked.
"The probably did." Demeter said.
"We should have gone with them!" He cried indignantly.
"Hey, remember that time we all went to the pool, for that party?" Someone asked.
"On the 4th of July?" Another voice called.
"Yeah."
"Ah, man, that was so fun! Especially so for some of us, right, Munk?" Tugger waggled his eyebrows at his brother, who rolled his eyes in return.
"What about the time we set up that lemonade stand? And when we went camping?" Bombalurina asked.
"Or when we had that huge snowball fight?"
"In which, of course, Bomba crushed us all." Demeter group laughed, and Demeter nudging her in the side. "Although, I don't believe everyone minded." The laughs turned to snickers.
"We have 'ad some good memories, 'aven't we?" Mungojerrie sighed nostalgically.
"Amen ta' that!" Rumpleteazer agreed.
A comfortable silence followed, no doubt filled with other great stories from the past, and it remained for a few more moments, everyone distracted by their own daydreams. Then, Admetus broke the silence.
"It's so hot….."
