Griddlebone watched Rumpleteazer jumping upon the rubber duck. Rumpleteazer giggled when she fell off and splashed into the water. She came back up and giggled again. Griddlebone laughed a little and saw Rumpleteazer splashing with the water. "Come here, honey. Let me wash behind your ears." Griddlebone laughed. Rumpleteazer swum to the older Queen and she started to wash the little Queen. Suddenly someone knocked on the door. "Come in!" Griddlebone yelled and the door opened. A black Tom came inside. "How is he?" Rumpleteazer asked worried. "He's okay, he's sleeping on the couch right now." Scratch answered. Griddlebone smiled at him sweetly while she tried not to look at his bandaged chest. "Thanks for looking after him…" Griddlebone said shyly and saw Rumpleteazer smile at her. "It's okay Griddle." Scratch said smiling and blushed a little. Rumpleteazer watched the looks they were giving each other and started to giggle. "Why don't you both tell each other what you feel?" Rumpleteazer giggled. The two cats immediately started to blush and Griddlebone couldn't stop giggling. Rumpleteazer laughed a little while she played with some bubbles. "It's very easy, just say: I-LOVE-YOU." She giggled. Scratch and Griddlebone blushed even more. There fell an silence and Rumpleteazer started to look cutely at Scratch. Scratch tried to ignore the face but once she pouted and her big brown eyes shimmered, he gave up. "Griddlebone, I think Rumpleteazer is right…" He said and turned to the white Queen. "I kind of like you… A lot…" Scratch tried but Rumpleteazer cut him off. "Just 3 little words…" She said smiling as she laid her paws on the edge of the bathtub. "I… I love you, Griddlebone." Scratch said and grabbed the furry Queen's paws. "Scratch, I love you too." Griddlebone sighed happily and kissed the Tom. Rumpleteazer smiled sweetly at the couple. "But Griddle, what about Macavity?" Scratch asked suddenly. Griddlebone 's happy face fell.

Rumpleteazer was nervously sitting on the couch. Every time she heard the wrapped up Tom who laid next to her breath, she looked at him, worried about her best friend. "He'll wake up soon." Griddlebone purred from her new mate's hug. Rumpleteazer nodded heavily and stared with her big kitten eyes at the sleeping Tom, who tried to move. They heard a weak mumble, followed by a sigh. Rumpleteazer smiled widely as the Tom opened his beautiful chestnut eyes. "Jerrie! Jerrie! I'm so happy you're back!" Rumpleteazer yelled and hugged him tightly. Mungojerrie flinched in pain, what made Rumpleteazer loosening him immediately, shocked and scared. "I'm so sorry." Rumpleteazer said apologizing. "It's okay, Teaz." Mungojerrie laughed weakly. "But, Jerrie, you know what Scratch did yesterday?" Rumpleteazer asked suddenly happy. Mungojerrie shook his head smiling. "Well, I was playing outside, a very pretty butterfly landed on my nose so I followed it. Suddenly I bumped into another cat. He was tall and red… He told me he knew you and said he could bring me to you. He almost took me outside the park but then Scratch attacked him, he was scratching him everywhere, kicking him over his whole body and took me away. And then you came back, and now Griddlebone and Scratch are in love!" Rumpleteazer rattled, mimicking everything. Mungojerrie smiled at her happily while she rattled, stopping every now and then to breath, and acted the whole story, but then his brown eyes fell upon the happy couple who sat upon the chair. "Congratulations." He said weakly and they nodded smiling. "But what about Macavity?" Mungojerrie asked puzzled and cocked his head to the side. "Well, we're not really certain about that too." Griddlebone mumbled a little sad. "Just don't tell him." Rumpleteazer piped simply. "What are you talking about, dear?" Scratch asked thoughtfully. "Well, if you just be as careful as possible, not letting anyone know about you two. That way Macavity will never find out. Once he tires of you, Grid, you two are safe." Rumpleteazer explained happy and simply. Griddlebone looked at Scratch smiling. "That just might work." Scratch said happily and smiled at Rumpleteazer and turned back to his Queen. He pulled her into a tight hug and kissed her sweetly. Mungojerrie snickered once he saw Rumpleteazer smiling and as she sighed hopefully. "What is it Teaz?" Mungojerrie asked puzzled as her face turned sad. Rumpleteazer turned back to her friend and smiled a little. "I just hope I'll find someone special too." She sighed a little sad. "I'm sure you will." Mungojerrie said and smiled at her comforting. "Really?" Rumpleteazer asked happy. "Of course, there's someone for everyone. The one who is for you is gonna be a very lucky Tom." Mungojerrie sighed and snickered once Rumpleteazer giggled a little nervous. "Why would he be lucky?" She asked giggling. "Well, you're very sweet and stuff…" Mungojerrie tried but he didn't really know the good words to describe her. Special, beautiful, sweet, they all belonged to her but still, he didn't have the guts to tell her. Griddlebone giggled a little as she listened to the conversation between the almost grow-ups and saw their blushing faces.

Mungojerrie yawned and opened his eyes. He laughed a little once he saw the little Princess cuddling up against him, still asleep. In the 3 months he looked after her she already looked better than the day he found her, he even learned her how to read and write. "Teaz?" Mungojerrie asked whispering as he nudged her ears with his nose. The little black and orange ears twitched and Mungojerrie heard the little Queen giggle quietly. "Teaz, wake up." Mungojerrie whispered, not wanting to scare her. "Five more minutes." Rumpleteazer mumbled, clearly still asleep, and cuddled up against Mungojerrie 's chest. Mungojerrie gulped loudly, trying to swallow the purrs who were tickling his throat. "Teaz, come on." Mungojerrie whispered and nudged her ears again. Rumpleteazer purred a little and nuzzled Mungojerrie 's neck, still asleep. Mungojerrie closed his eyes and tried to think of horrible things to hold his purrs. Mungojerrie smiled sneaky and laughed a little quietly. He carefully laid his paw on Rumpleteazer side, just above her waist. The Queen purred louder and nuzzled his chest more. Mungojerrie joined her purrs, smiling widely. Mungojerrie laughed a little and started to tickle the striped Queen. He joined her as she laughed loudly and tried to escape from him. "Jer, I'm awake, I'm awake, stop!" She giggled and he smiled at her as she laid on her back on the multi-colored pillows in their den. Mungojerrie stopped tickling her and grabbed her paws. "Come on, let's get something to eat." Mungojerrie said and helped her up. Rumpleteazer nodded still a little giggling and Mungojerrie opened the door. When they walked out they saw a white and furry Queen running to them. "Mungojerrie! Rumpleteazer!" She yelled and the two turned around. "Griddlebone! What's up?" Mungojerrie asked worried as he saw her scared face. "Mungojerrie, Macavity… He wants you to come… There's something… with Scratch…" Griddlebone answered through her panting and looked at him frightened about her Tom. Mungojerrie nodded quickly and looked at Rumpleteazer. "What about Teaz?" Mungojerrie asked worried. "Don't worry, I'll stay inside our den and wait for you." Rumpleteazer said smiling and walked back into their den. Mungojerrie watched her worried as she walked back and Griddlebone grabbed his paw quickly. Mungojerrie followed the Queen as she pulled him with her in the direction of the horrible building.
