bombalurina was not healed at all. in fact, she felt even worse that she screamed at demeter like that.

bombalurina walked even further from demeter. she wanted to scream. she soon heard music. the lyrics were "the rum tum tugger is a terrible bore." she wanted at least one normal bombalurina moment. it is a shame she wasn't even healed enought to have that.

"they call me a manipulative flirt. i'll be one!" she thought. the music got quicker and louder as bombalurina ran toward it. the tom singing was now a tom with a fabulus mane. it was tugger! she had loved him so much that she didn't even bother to flirt. she was always herself around him. she thought this would be perfect to give munkustrap what he claimed that she was.

she ran to the spotlight and sang, "the rum tum tugger is a courius beast!" she danced like "the scarlet queen" she was. tugger started to sing again. bomba walked toward him as she swung her tail around. she rubbed up against him in a flirtacious way and before she knew it, she was in his arms. munku, alonzo and pounce all saw her. she loved that munku hated her because she hated him, too. alonzo still thought she was a trashy cat, but he loved her for it. pounce tried to ignore her. he didn't want her to prove munku right.

bombalurina thought she had finally "manipulated" every tom there was, but before she knew it, she dropped out of the tugger's arms and hit the ground. failed again, but thistime, she tried again too. she rubbed herself and made a pose next to tugger, but he bumped her away. she was now next to pouncival. he tried not to look at her for if he did, he would not be mad.

bombalurina saw the tugger dance in front of the young cats. she did not give up. she was going to be the monster that cats thought she was.

"pouncey, come here," she said, trying to flirt.

he finally looked at her and said, "why are you trying to make munku right?" before bomba realized that pounce was still doubtful that she was that monster, she started to rub him. he jumped and went away only seconds before bombalurina realized what pounce had said.

"why am i so stupid?" she asked herself as pouncival crawled away.
