The next day, Rumpleteazer went out to find her friends, when she almost bumped into The Rum Tum Tugger.
"Oh, sorry, Tugger." She apologized.
"Oh, it's no problem." He replied.
Rumple was about to move on, but then she turned back to face the Tugger. "Um, Tugger?"
"Yes?"
"Can I get some advice on something?"
"Of course. What do you need advice on?"
"Well, you see...there's this...cat...that I like.."
"Uh huh..."
"And I don't know how to confront him. The other day, I saw him with another cat..."
"I see. Well, I think you ought to confront him, maybe go up to him and start talking to him, then bring up the subject."
"Well, ok..." Rumple then walked off.
She walked around, looking for Mistoffelees. Then she saw him...with Victoria again. They were talking and giggling. It made Rumple sick to her stomach. She wished the tom was by himself. She hid behind a box, watching them.
"Well, I've got to go, now." Victoria said. "Bye." And she left.
Rumple smiled as she watched the white queen leave. Once she was gone, the calico cat came out from the box and walked up to Misto.
"Hi!" She said with a sweet smile.
Misto smiled back.
"So, how've you been?" Rumple asked.
"I've been good. You?"
"Pretty good."
"That's good."
"So..uh...I've been wondering...well..."
"Yes?"
Rumple looked up at the black tom with her eyes. Her eyes connected with his. They kept looking at each other. Then, Rumpleteazer decided to...
smooch
Rumple kissed his lips. Misto blinked. Once Rumple moved her face away from his...Misto looked at her, wide-eyed. He looked at her, his cheeks had turned pink..
Rumple looked back at him, her cheeks were bright red. She did not know what she just did. She couldn't believe what she had just done. She wasn't really thinking about doing it...she just did it..
Misto smiled...and kissed her back...
Rumple was in complete shock. Misto was already with Victoria, yet he was kissing her!
Once they were done kissing, the calico cat looked at him.
"Um, Misto, I saw you with Victoria that one day...when you gave her that rose?"
"Oh...that."
"Ya...so then why did you kiss me when you're already with her?"
"Look, it's not what you think, Victoria and I are cousins."
"You're...cousins!"
"Yup."
Rumple smiled. She was relieved. She couldn't believe it! All this time, they were COUSINS! Rumple was so happy. In fact, she was so happy, she kissed Misto again.
