"Keep quiet!" Rumpelteazer hit Mungojerrie on the head and he glared at her.
"YOU keep quiet!" He hissed back, slapping her leg.
"PAWS OFF!" She growled at her brother, tackling him to the ground and beginning to wrestle.
"Who is there?"
Both twins heard the voice and let out small yips.
"It's old man Rumpus!" Mungo hissed, crawling over the TSE 1 in horror and fear.
"There's nothing to be… scared…" Then Rumpelteazer saw him. What a horrid sight it was.
He was black… with raggedy fur and glowing, red, bloodshot eyes.
"Kitten… kitten… KITTENS!" And Rumpus collapsed onto the ground.
Rumpelteazer looked back at her brother in confusion and then crawled over to Rumpus Cat.
"Rumpus? Rumpus?" Rumpelteazer poked his back with her finger, "are you dead?"
Mungojerrie crawled up behind Rumpel and stared at Rumpus as well, "is he okay?"
Rumpelteazer shook her head, she didn't know for sure, and she poked him again.
"Ruumppuuss?" Mungo bent over and sniffed Rumpus' greasy hair, "you have dandruff."
Rumpelteazer listened closely and heard Rumpus… crying.
"Rumpus? What's the matter?" Rumpelteazer asked tugging on Rumpus' shoulders, trying to get him to sit up.
"I'm living a lie!" Rumpus sobbed, wiping his tears away from his eyes.
"What's the matter?" Mungo asked, skittering to sit in front of Rumpus cat.
"It's Cettie! I love her, but she doesn't love me back!" Rumpus sobbed, putting his face into Rumpel's lap.
Rumpelteazer stared at him uncomfortably and looked up at Mungo who was laughing hysterically.
Rumpelteazer made a face at him, then smiled at her boyfriend as he snuck up behind Mungo and grabbed his ear, taking him away, and then Tugger walked back calmly and settled down by Rumpel, pushing Rumpus' face onto da floor.
Rumpus sobbed even louder and Tugger just rolled his eyes at Rumpel.
"How do you know she doesn't like you back?" Tugger asked curiously.
"She told me, no matter how far you can get your hair to stick up, or what color of paint you splash onto you… my feelings will never change." Rumpus sobbed.
"You can't change your feelings for someone." Rumpelteazer murmured, leaning against Tugger's shoulder.
"No matter what you do," Tugs agreed, putting his cheek on the top of Rumpel's head.
"But I want a chance with her!" Rumpus almost screamed, doing circles on the ground, "Please help me get her!"
Tugger and Rumpelteazer exchanged a glance, it wouldn't be easy. Cettie wasn't the innocent, squealing fangirl she used to be.
"Okay," Tugger said after awhile, patting Rumpus, "We'll help."
