Chapter 8
A real family is what she wished for, and a family is what she got.
Tugger stuck to his word, and he turned things around in an instant, faster than anyone expected. He cleaned up his den the best he could, sweeping out the dead catnip leaves and the filthy velvet blankets. All that was left now was a few sheets and some pillows, none of which were in there during Tugger's nightly 'sessions'. Matella was able to move in with him after that, which made her happy to get away from Etcetera, who went crazy after knowing Tugger wouldn't ever be the same. Bombalurina immediately accepted her as a daughter, and Matel accepted her as a real mom after living that masquerade with Griddlebone. So through tragedy, she got joy.

This was heaven.
(Finally, it's finished!)
