Any Cat ,Pollicle or Human walking down the street at that time would wondered what sort of debacle the queen and tomcat had gotten into to be in such an unkempt state. Parts of their fur were sticking up at odd angles, there was a scratch on the queens face and she had what appeared to be mascara, swooping below her eyes. Luckily for the two Jellicles, no-one was in sight.

'Tugger, are we nearly there yet'

'Patience, Bomba, Patience'

Tugger had forced Bombalurina to place her paws over her eyes, as not to ruin the surprise that he had not yet told her about. His paws were placed on her waist as means to guide her.

'Tugger, I can hear water, your not going to throw me in a pond or anything are you? Because I swear if you even try, I will rip your…'

'Open your eyes' Tugger said hastily, not wanting to hear which part of his anatomy would be the victim of attack from Bombalurina's wrath

'Oh, you've brought me to the dock' Bomba said, trying not to sound disappointed, unfortunately for her, the dissatisfaction showed on her face.

'Just wait' Tugger said, perching on the edge of the dock. He patted the space beside him as a gesture for Bomba to sit. She took her space beside him, her legs dangling elegantly over the edge, swinging in time with the breaking and wombing of the Thames. The moonlight danced delicately over the water's frame, casting artistic shadows, with its long shallow movements. The calm brushing against the wooden beams that supported the frame of the dock, divided the time into vapid segments.

'Tugger, I…'

'Shh' he silenced her 'Wait'

'But Tug…'

'No' he whispered 'Just watch that club over there' he gestured to a building lit up by neon lights.

She huffed impatiently, brushing some fur out of her eyes. How long is he going to keep this up for.

With that, fluorescent explosions lit up the sky, the sparks settling gently to the ground. One after another they came, painting incandescent pictures in the dusky cobalt sky, each being more impressive than their successors. Bombalurina glanced at Tugger, excitement glimmering in her emerald irises.

'Tugger!' she gasped 'They're beautiful'

'Not as beautiful as you' Tugger winced inwardly Not as beautiful as you he thought Bast! How cheesy can you get, Oh No, Your turning into Munkustrap?

'Tugger, how did you know?'

'My humans are having their engagement party there and I thought we might as well go and see the show.' He replied, affecting nonchalance.

She gazed in contentment at the fireworks bursting extravagantly in the sky.

'Bomba?'

'Mmm' she responded, distracted by the illustration of light.

'I lo…'

'AAAHHHHHH!'

The scream pierced the air, direct cue with the last firework.

Bomba glanced round fretfully,

'Demeter!' she called.

Tugger raised a quizzical eyebrow.

'Demeter?'

'Sorry, force of habit.'

'Oh right' Tugger began 'Anyway, what I was trying to say is that I lo…'

'HELP! PLEASE, IS ANYONE THERE'

'NO!' Tugger shouted 'NOW SOD OFF!'

Bombalurina slapped Tugger's arm warningly.

'Tugger!' she scolded 'I think it's a kitten, we should go and see' she said, rising to her feet and heading towards the direction where the sound was emitting. Tugger trailed after her dejectedly.

When they arrived at the secreting pint of the sound they were greeted by one of the Jellicles kittens , Etcetera , the most enthusiastic of the kittens , annoyance to any who tried to care for her , but most importantly , Tugger's most devout fan.

'Etcy, are you okay?' Bomba asked, lowering herself to the kitten's level.

'No my leg really hurts' she whimpered

'What are doing out this late?'

'Well' she started 'I came out for a walk because Pounce was snoring really loudly , and then I heard Tugger's voice and decided to follow you , but I though A short cut over this fence would be quicker' Etcetera gestured to the barbed-wire fence behind her.

She had fallen awkwardly, and the cavernous tear lining her calf, trailed into a diminutive mere beneath her lower leg.

'C'mon' Bombalurina soothed 'Lets get you back to the junkyard, Tugger, pick her up'

Tugger raised his paw in mock salute 'Yes Matron'

Bomba rolled her eyes; he really was an idiot at times.

He lifted the kitten into his arms, she wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning into his chest, more or less perfectly replicating the way Tugger had carried Bombalurina some time prior.

'You comfy?' he asked, she nodded profoundly

'Then homeward bound we go'

Jenny sighed, analysing her handiwork.

'Now Etcetera, you promise never to go out looking for Tugger late at night again?'

'Yes Jenny'

'Thankyou dear'

Jennyanydots glared at Tugger, who flashed her a phony smile.

Etcetera glanced up at Tugger with innocently widened eyes.

'Night Tuggy'

'Night Babe'

She leant up and pressed her lips gently against his.

'Love you'

'Love you too, kit'

Tugger and Bomba departed from the Gumbie cat's den, making conference outside.

'What's wrong Tug, you look puzzled' Bomba enquired.

'She's never done that before…Kissed me; it was a bit…odd'

'Aww, I think it's cute, every kitten has a crush on an older tom, Tugger'

'What? Like you and Skimble' Tugger joked, regaining the playful lacquer in his voice.

'Or like you and Jellylorum'

'Yeah, but Jellylorum pretty hot'

Bombalurina laughed lightly, the sound tinkling in the silent, night air.

'Tugger, you was going to tell me something before we found Etcy, what was it?'

'Oh it doesn't matter now, but I've got a question?'

'Mmm?'

Tugger cocked his head towards his den, Bomba took his paw, and he twirled her round, her scarlet coat sparkling in moonlight with the movement.

'You do realise that wasn't a question, don't you Tugger?'
