(A/N): Okay, look, I'm really sorry about having not updating this story as of late, but I have been annoyingly busy with studying for a very important test of mine, which I finally took on Thursday, and during the time that I haven't been updating, I have been studying, studying, studying, and have ill opportune moments to write for my stories. Today's included characters are Tavros and Gamzee, Dave and John, Sollux with his two grumpy nekos, as well the introduction of Kanaya and her neko Rose, alongside Nepeta. Enjoy today's drabbles. Also, the second drabble is an idea contributed by someone known as Kso Le. (95% sure I got that right.)

"Uh, G-Gamzee, I r-really need to head to work now." Tavros stuttered as he tried to peel the large feline off of him. He was determined not to be late today, and though his boss is nice, she was beginning to get annoyed with him at arriving at work a few minutes late and out of breath. Gamzee just whined lazily and hugged Tavros closer.

"But Tavvvvvbro, you all up and usually leave later, not motherfucking now." he complained, not the least bit happy that his owner was leaving his company earlier than usual today. Tavros sighed in irritation, unsure how to get rid of Gamzee to be able to get to work on time. One bout of arguing later and dragging lumps of fur later, Tavros arrived at work - with a neko attached to his back.

Kanaya nearly dropped her tray of tea in bewilderment, and her neko Rose gave a small smirk while watching Tavros trying to get Gamzee off of him. After getting over her initial bewilderment, Kanaya sighed and coaxed Gamzee off of Tavros and to a small corner dubbed "Kitty's corner", meant for customer's pets to stay in while the customers drank their coffee and food. Gamzee spent the day in the "Kitty Corner" with Rose and a slumbering Nepeta while Tavros worked all day, hearing the occasional cursing coming from Equis in the kitchen as he tried not to break the pans again, and receiving an earful of a lecture from Kanaya when they closed shop. Though Gamzee didn't care at all that he got in trouble. He was just happy that he got to spend the day with his Tavbro.


~ Super Market Mayhem ~


On this lovely morning, we find our wonderful characters out on a trip to the fantastical local super market of their neighborhood. Sollux was annoyed with a festering migraine, regretting bringing both of his nekos with him, as he tried to wheel the cart down the canned food aisle, though it was difficult with both felines occupying the cart, arguing with one another, Karkat hissing at Eridan, and Eridan likewise hissing. Tavros was enjoying a more peaceful morning compared to them, wheeling through the produce aisle while Gamzee was curled up comfortably in the cart. Kanaya was in the clothing section, ranting off to Rose of how horribly priced the unfashionably horrid clothes were, as Rose just stood there reading a Harry Potter novel. Dave and John were doing just as great as Tav and Gamzee, except that John sat in the child's seat and was hugging Dave the whole time he wheeled through the snack aisle.

This was particularly normal for everyone, nothing major, unusually peaceful considering each one of them owned a neko. It was nice until Gamzee smelled the stack of catnip in the nearby pet food aisle, Eridan spotted the sea food aisle, Rose wandered off to the petite aisle of books, John snatched a can of pressurized pranks from a display when Dave wasn't looking, and Karkat…well, Karkat did nothing more than hug Sollux tightly with his fur standing on end when Eridan suddenly sprang out of the cart and into one of the open-air containers of salmon fillets on sale. All pandemonium was released in the store.

Dave let out an uncool cry of "Jesus- mother - hugger!" as John cackled and released the pressurized joke can of flimsy colored snakes into his face, blasting Dave's shades off of his face. Employers jumped in surprised at being hit in the face with a pair of flying shades, and angrily marched Dave up to the front desk with a snickering John, demanding that all the merchandise John broke be compensated for, and to sign a paper that guaranteed they didn't step 1,000 feet within the premises of the super market.

The butcher yelled at Eridan as he lifted up a few of the salmon fillets with his teeth, and chased him around as Eridan knocked over several displays of live crabs and lobsters. Fellow customers screamed as little crabs and lobsters "skree-ed!" and clicked their claws at the customers and chased them about. Sollux joined the butcher in chasing Eridan around the sea food aisle, tripping over the crabs and lobsters. Needless to say, there went Sollux's entire life savings (or rather, his entire month's allowance and saved up money from part time jobs) in compensating for all the knocked over displays, as well as several lectures, and being banned from the super market indefinitely.

Rose herself didn't do anything but look through the selection of novels, but they were banned from the super market due to Kanaya making "improvements" to the entire clothing selection in the store.


~ The Case of the Missing Purrs ~


Today we find a small and furrocious neko napping peacefully in the window ledge of her purrific abode. The petite feline yawned and stretched, her dirty blonde ears flickering back and forth as she took in the sounds of her owner's STRONG snoring. She slowly made her way down her own little stairs from the window ledge and onto the softly padded carpet, leisurely making her way to the food bowl to see if she had any delicious tuna left. She let out an ecstatic purr when she found that she did indeed have some left over tuna to snack on- but then she gasped in horror at herself. She couldn't purr! She squeaked in distress at this devastating development. She tried to purr again in despair, but it came out as a sort of strangled growl-mewl combination. She rolled back and forth on the carpet letting out strangled squeak after strangled squeak as she desperately tried to purr. Where oh where had her purrs gone?


That's it for this update, feel free to contribute your ideas, and I'm really sorry for this being so late. Now that my tests are done and it's almost summer, you can expect more frequent updates. Also, we will discover where Nepeta's purrs had gone in the next update.
