As everyone was leaving the Christmas Dance when it was over, Furrball & Fifi said goodbye to everyone as they all headed home. As they were a block away from the school, Furrball offered to walk Fifi home, which she gladly accepted.
Soon, they arrived at Fifi's home: a red Cadillac in the Acme Junkyard. Furrball opened the door for Fifi as they both stepped inside.
"Welcome", Fifi said, "to my humble abode, Furrball." "It looks nice", Furrball replied. "You got a lot of books here", he said as he noticed a bookshelf full of books.
"Oui, I truly enjoy reading books, mostly romance novels."
"Ah, like Romeo & Juliet?"
"Oui, eet's one of my favorite books. Zhe only part I don't like eez in the end."
"Yeah, I don't blame you." He then saw Fifi's bed, which is made from the car's back seats.
"Is this where you sleep?", Furrball asked.
"Mm-hmm. I spend most of my days reading, talking to my friends, writing een my diary. Nozhing much to do here. My home may be small, but it eez quite comfy."
"Well, at least this is...better than what I have." Furrball had a sad look on his face as he concluded his sentence.
Fifi looked at Furrball & got all concerned. "What's wrong?"
"Well, it's something I forgot to tell you when we talked at the Dance, but..."
"But what?"
"I'm not sure if I wanna talk about it." Furrball started rubbing the back of his neck in shyness.
"Come here, Furrball", Fifi said as she offered Furrball to sit next to her.
Being a little reluctant at first, he finally went over & sat next to Fifi.
"What eez eet zhat's bothering you?"
But Furrball, still not wanting to tell Fifi, simply said, "Well, I don't know if I wanna tell you."
"Why not?"
"Because I just...don't think it's a good idea."
Fifi placed a hand under Furrball's cheek & said, "Furrball, you can tell moi anytheeng, I'm here to help vous."
Furrball, feeling more comfortable around Fifi, finally spoke up. "Okay. It has something to do with...me being a mute."
"Uh-huh. I'm listeneeng", Fifi said as she waited for Furrball to continue.
"Well, the thing is, Fifi, is that I'm...homeless."
"You're what?", Fifi said, looking quite surprised.
"I don't have a home", Furrball continued, "the only home I actually did have was living with Elmyra."
"Oh dear, zhat's terrible."
"It is, and she made my life miserable. One day I couldn't handle living with her anymore, so I ran out & now, well, I live in a box in an alley."
Fifi was completely shocked; she never knew Furrball was a homeless alleycat until now. "Oh mon goodness, Furrball."
"I know, it's awful."
"But do you have someone to take care of vous?"
"No, I have no one to take care of me because..."
"Because what?"
"Because..." At that moment, tears started forming in Furrball's eyes. "Because I'm..." His lips then started quivering.
"Because you're what?" Fifi asked gently. "Go on, Furrball, tell moi."
Furrball took a moment to regain himself before he finally answered. "Because, I'm an orphan!" He shouted as he started crying, covering his eyes with his hands.
Fifi was both shocked & frightened at what she just heard. "You're an orphan?"
"Yes", Furrball replied as he looked at Fifi with teary eyes, "my father died before I was born, and my mother died from pneumonia when I was no more than 6 months old."
Furrball continued crying as Fifi covered her mouth in horror. Tears started showing in her eyes too. Furrball then continued.
"Shortly after my mother died, Elmyra's dad found me & took me home with him. That's when Elmyra came & started making my life miserable. I couldn't take it anymore, I had to get out. Ever since I left, I've been trying all my life to find a home, but I couldn't find one without bad luck happening."
"Oh, Furrball", Fifi said as she took Furrball & wrapped her arms & tail around him. "I'm so sorry, Furrball. Vous don't deserve to be tres miserable."
"I know", Furrball said, still crying, "but no matter what happen or what I do, nobody want to give me a home, because nobody care for me."
"Zhat's not true", Fifi said. "Oh yeah?", Furrball replied, "Name one person that does care for me, and Elmyra doesn't count."
Fifi thought for a moment before she answered. "Me." Furrball then stopped crying & looked at Fifi. "Wh-what? What did you say?"
"Me, Furrball. I care for vous." "You do?", Furrball sniffed.
"Oui, I never knew zhat you deedn't have a home & zhat nobody wanted to be around you & you were always alone weeth no friends & no one to take care of you, until tonight."
Furrball sniffed a couple of times as Fifi continued. "But I'm here for you, Furrball. I'm here to be friends weeth you, and...vous are not alone anymore." Furrball suddenly became overjoyed at what Fifi just said. For the first time ever in his life, he felt loved. With his lips trembling again, he quickly wrapped his arms around Fifi & started crying again, but more silently this time.
"Thanks, Fifi", Furrball weeped, as he was overwhelmed with joy after hearing that someone does actually care for him. "You welcome, mon ami", Fifi replied as she hugged Furrball back. The two stayed like that for a while, as Furrball was starting to calm down & enjoy the embrace between him & Fifi.
Soon afterwards, Furrball looked at the clock on the wall behind Fifi. It was almost 11:00.
"Oh my", Furrball said as he & Fifi released each other, "it's getting pretty late. I think I should get going."
"Oh, okay", Fifi replied. "Say, Furrball, I'm glad we were able to sort things out between us. I'm so glad I could help."
"Yeah, me too, and thank you for coming to the Dance with me tonight, I had a lot of fun."
"I did too, eet was really nice of you to ask me out. Merci, Furrball."
"No problem." Furrball then started rubbing the back of his neck again. "Well, I must get going."
"Okay zhen."
"It was so nice to spend time with you at the Dance."
"Oui, you too."
"So, uh, I guess I'll see you later."
"Oui oui, I'll see vous soon."
"Bye Fifi."
"Au revoir...Furrball."
Furrball then turned to leave & slowly walked up to the door. As soon as he reached it, Fifi spoke up.
"Wait, Furrball?"
Furrball turned to Fifi. "Hmm?"
Fifi stood up as she continued. "Can I ask you somezhing?"
"Sure."
"I was wondering eef...vous would like to...spend zhe night with moi."
Furrball was surprised at Fifi's offer. "Wha- really?"
"Oui, you can spend zhe night weeth me tonight eef you want. As a matter of fact, vous can stay as long as you want and...never go back to zhat old alley again."
Furrball then realized what Fifi was trying to tell him. "Wait, are you offering me to...live with you?"
"Oui, you've always wanted to have a home & not live een zhat box in zhe alley, no? Well, I'm giveeng you a chance to finally have a place...to call home."
Furrball, upon hearing Fifi finish her sentence, slowly became emotional. He went from shocked to overjoyed in a matter of seconds. Quickly, he ran up to Fifi & hugged her again.
"Oh, thank you Fifi", he weeped upon hugging her, "I would love to move in with you. I've waited nearly my whole life to have a home! Thank you so much, Fifi."
"You're welcome, Furrball", Fifi replied as she hugged him back.
"Oh Fifi, how can I ever repay you?"
Fifi giggled as she said, "Zhere's no need to repay moi."
But Furrball quickly relaxed as something came up in his mind.
"Actually Fifi, there is something I thought I'd ask."
"What eez it?"
"Well, ever since you've broke up with Hamton, I've always felt sorry for you."
"Really? You deed?"
"Yeah, which is why I gave you the locket & asked you to the Dance to begin with, so I could cheer you up."
"Aw, Furrball, zhat's tres sweet of you."
"I know you've always wanted to have a boyfriend in your life, and I understand what it's like to desire something for all your life, like how I've always desired to have a home."
"Oui, zhat's true."
"But, if you want, since you don't have a boyfriend now, I was wondering if I can...fill in that spot."
Now it was Fifi's turn to become surprised after Furrball finished his sentence. "You mean...you want to be my...boyfriend?"
Furrball smiled as he said, "I'm willing to give it a shot."
Fifi's entire body filled with joy as she hugged Furrball and said, "Oh, merci Furrball! I'm glad you're willing to take a chance with moi."
The two of them sank to the floor, still hugging, as Fifi continued.
"After everyzhing that happened today, I'd love to have vous as my boyfriend. Thank you so very much, mon petite pussycat of passion."
"You're welcome, Fifi", Furrball said as they resumed their embrace.
This was something that Furrball would've never imagined that would happen; him being in an embrace with the one person that he was once scared of, who has now become his girlfriend & has given Furrball a place to call home.
The two stayed hugging on the floor, as they felt nothing could ruin this moment. Then suddenly, something unexpected happened.
They both heard a faint twinkling noise & lights were glimmering above their heads. They looked up & saw that a mistletoe suddenly appeared above them.
"Where did zhat come from?", Fifi asked. "I don't know", Furrball replied.
Then, they both slowly looked down from the mistletoe & at each other. They stared at each other for a moment before they smiled. They knew what they had to do.
"Merry Christmas, Fifi."
"Merry Christmas, Furrball."
And at that moment, they closed their eyes & slowly moved in & kissed each other on the lips. They both embraced each other as their kiss grew more passionate. Slowly, lovingly, they kissed for about a moment before they parted, looked into each other's eyes, and smiled.
As Fifi started wrapping her tail around her new boyfriend, Furrball made a face of shock as her odor reached his nose again. Fifi took notice immediately.
"Oh dear", Fifi said, "I'm so sorwy, I can't control eet."
The purple skunk was worried about how Furrball would react, but, to her surprise, he sniffed a couple of times before taking one big sniff.
Fifi wondered what he was doing before he said, "Eh, I'll get used to this." His comment made Fifi smile. Furrball smiled back as he went in to kiss Fifi again. Slowly, as the two embraced again, Fifi wrapped her tail around the two of them as Furrball started purring.
The cat & skunk continued kissing lovingly as the mistletoe was shining dimly over the two new lovers.
Later that night, they were both getting settled in. Fifi was setting up her bed while Furrball ran to the alley to get something.
While she waited, Furrball returned to the Cadillac with a quilt, since Fifi doesn't sleep with one, Furrball wanted to get something to keep them warm during the cold winter nights.
"Where did vous get zhat?", Fifi asked. "I found it about a week ago in my alley", Furrball responded. "It was in bad shape when I got it, but I was able to fix it up."
After Furrball spread the quilt over Fifi's bed, the two of them crawled in & faced each other.
"Tell moi Furrball, have you ever slept weeth a girl before?"
"No, I've never slept with any girl, let alone a beautiful girl like you."
Furrball smiled upon giving the compliment to Fifi, in which she smiled back lovingly. Fifi wrapped her arms & tail around Furrball & looked into his eyes.
"Good night, Furrball." Furrball wrapped his arms around her & replied, "Good night, Fifi." Fifi gave him a small kiss on the lips.
"I love you, mon amore." Furrball's eyes were wide open upon hearing the words 'mon amore', as Fifi called him that back when she chased him around whenever he had a stripe on his back.
But now, Furrball is perfectly fine with it, because he is, as of tonight, Fifi's boyfriend. He smiled at Fifi & looked back into her eyes.
"I love you too." Fifi then lowered herself a bit & nuzzled her head under Furrball's chin. They both held each other softly as Furrball looked down at his girlfriend & started purring again. Fifi moaned softly & nuzzled herself into Furrball's chest, peacefully falling asleep. Furrball smiled as he pulled the quilt over Fifi. Slowly, he closed his eyes & fell asleep.
They were both full of joy as they both got what they've always wanted: Furrball now has a home, and Fifi now has a boyfriend.
The cat & skunk were asleep with smiles on their faces, as they both know that this will be the best Christmas ever.
