Love is just a word, only until someone comes along and gives it meaning -Author Uknown

*Mistoffelees POV*

I hadn't slept, as usual, I just kept staring at the ceiling, thinking. I snapped up when the cell door creaked open, revealing HIM to stand in the doorway. He held his paw in front of his face, examining it carelessly as he just stood there, knowing anticipation would get the best of me.

"Was there something you wanted?" I inquired raising one eyebrow annoyed. His head whipped around to face me

"Just to tell you something-"

*Rimabeths POV*

Once again I was confined to my den, staring up at the ceiling. Since my outgoing more people would come to visit me, a few of the kittens would. And reluctantly I would converse with them, telling them all the stories I knew if they asked it, answering all their questions as best I could. Jemima asking the most on almost every topic.

"Did you really love Mistoffelees?" She asked, her blue eyes wide and innocent. Damn it. I hissed slightly as a pang of ache went through me.

"Meeting him was simply fate, becoming his friend was my own pure choice. But falling in love with him was most completely out of my control"

"How do you know?"

"Love is... giving someone the ability to break your heart, but you trust them not to. You know it's right when no matter what you're doing or what kind of mood you're in the thought of him can make you smile. And if someone asked me if I could love him forever, my reply would be 'forever isn't long enough'" I sighed. I hadn't meant to give her that answer, and I think it may have gone straight to her head, because I turned my head to face her and she was staring at the ground concentrating. "But of course, you're much to young" I sat up and pat her on the shoulder, my eyebrows raising as if looking for agreement. She nodded her head and stood up, heading towards the door. I wouldn't have any of that.

"So who is it" I said quite loudly. She stopped in her tracks and turned to face me, her cheeks blushed and her eyes hit the floor, her foot tracing circles in the ground.

"It's ummm Admetus" And with that she was gone. Well, she couldn't have chosen better. I mean, if she'd said Tumblebrutus or Pouncival I would have screamed. Admetus was a good Tom, he was protective, caring, strong, willful, and loyal. I'd seen how he would make her smile and laugh, whispering sweet nothings into her ear. Jemima would gaze at him with whole heart, and he'd return that made him good enough. But so help me if he ever hurt my niece, I'd be there right along with Munkustrap to rip his throat out.

The door creaked open again, and I looked up to see a crying red Queen.

"Bomba? What's happened?" She collapsed to her knees next to me, her hands in her face sobbing.

"Oh I just don't know anymore.. T-t-tugger said that he loved me, but he was flirting with all the kittens. I had to face facts, I'm not good enough for him. I never was, but when I saw it happen. My heart shattered into a thousand peices."

"Don't screw up the best thing that ever happened to you just because you're a little unsure about who you are." I said comforting her, dropping down to the floor to come face to face "My brother loves you. I know he does. He wouldn't have gone off and saved you four times and ignored the kittens during Macavity's visits for nothing. He'd stand up for you. And considering who exactly my brother is, that's pure out love right there."

"Are you sure?"

"You've got to take some chances, you have to risk it all. You've got to close your eyes and leap, because he may be worth the fall"

"Your right...but what if-"

"what if nothing. I'll go out and find my brother right now and drag him in here for you."

"You'd do that?" She whispered, wiping her now dried tears away. I would not actually, just do it for the good deed. I would do it however to prove that my brother's not an asshole who cheats on his mate. I nodded in agreement, and she looked hopefully with hazel eyes.

I knew what that meant. I stood up and walked towards the door, opening it up to the warm sun. Why did I always have to solve everyone's problems. Why hadn't she run to Jenny or Jelly? Why hadn't she run to Demeter? But then I spotted him. He was fluffing up his mane and smirked as all the young Queens giggled and mewed in contentment. I marched over there and grabbed his scruff forcefully. He yelped as I pushed him into the den.

"Bomba," He said as he bent down and kissed her. Tugger pulled back and noticed her wet fur, and pulling her into his lap he gently rocked her back and forth again and again. "What happened?"

"You happened" I snapped sitting down on the opposite side of the room. "stop flirting with all the other Queens. Your Bombas mate and it's tearing her apart"

"Oh" He looked down at her "i'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. It's just facing the inevitable. But if it bothers you I'll try to stop" I cleared my throat and he glanced at me "I will stop"

Bombalurina only nodded her head as they left. Finally, maybe now I could get some peace. The peace that would never come. I knew it wouldn't, but I could be hopeful even in my depression. I had felt accomplished today. I talked to people and I think I may have helped them. Maybe I should talk to Munkustrap about that whole Jemima thing though. I smiled to myself thinking of how love felt when I was just a kitten. Yes, I would certainly have to talk to my brother about that.

*Mistoffelees POV*

"Tell me what?" I asked nervously, never moving from my spot. No answer came, HE just stood there, a smirk playing at his lips. "Damn it Macavity tell me!"
