Chapter 7: In Which Tugger Asks a Question
Bomba ran off to find out if it was true. Munk, on the other hand, went to have a small...erm, conversation with his brother. Coricopat and Tantomile were sitting outside of Jennyanydots' den. They nodded to him as he walked past, perfectly in sync with one another.
He didn't bother knocking on the door thingy before walking in.
"Hey, Munk,' Tugger said without looking up from the photo that Jelly had delivered to him earlier that morning. By some miracle, they had gotten the camera to work and by using 6 extension cords, got the printer to print…IN COLOR!
"Whatcha lookin' at?" he asked in his most annoying voice, "A picture of Bomba and you?"
"What? Uh…"
"It is isn't it?"
"Sure, fine, whatever,"
"Is it the one that Jelly took of the two of you at the Jellicle Ball last year?"
"Yeah," Tugger answered, handing him the picture. The picture was of Tugger and Bomba dancing next to each other. Tugger had this big stupid grin on his face and Bomba was looking at him, eyebrows raised. The picture forced Munk into hysterics and Tugger clamped his mouth shut.
"Shut it," he whispered, "If anyone finds out I'll…I'll…"
To make a long story short, Bomba walked in.
"Hey Munk, Demeter is looking for you." Munkustrap walked out of his brother's den…in a huff.
"Hey, Tug," Bomba whispered.
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why keep it in the dark? Why don't we just tell them?" he asked her.
"We can, just, only tell them if they openly ask you…And refrain from telling Demeter for a while,"
