About 3 days later I decided it was safe to return to the Jellicle Junkyard. And so, resuming my cocky aura, I made my way there. As I reached the place, I happened to run into Misto, Tumble P, Ceramia and Etcetera, who was looking slightly put-out. I grinned at them, before scratching Etcy under the chin. To my utmost surprise, she didn't react! I stared at her for a second or so, before lifting her chin up, and saying, in my sexiest voice "Hey, sweetie, whassup?"
She just gave me a look of utmost melancholy, then turned away. I looked quizzically at the others. Tumble P giggled, but Ceramia elbowed her, before putting her arm around Etcy, and saying, kindly "She's been ditched!"
"By who?"
"Electra!"
For a moment, I thought I had heard wrong. Then, I saw the deadly serious look on the kitten's face, and I knew it was true. But I didn't get how! I quizzed Cera some more, and found out that Electra, young as she was, had found a tomfriend! As shocked as I was, I was even more surprised when I found out that it was…
…MUNGOJERRIE! I opened my mouth to reply, but was saved answering when a calico blur flew out of the Junkyard, and ran right into me! I was knocked off my feet with the impact, but the giggling of kittens soon brought me to my senses. I went to get up, only to find a soft, furry something lying across me. It was a few seconds before I realised that the furry 'something' was Rumpelteazer - and that she was sobbing into my fully-fledged mane!
"Hey, hey, sweetheart," I crooned, sitting up, and pulling her close. Wrong move! Suddenly, Etcetera and Tumblepatch wanted hugs as well. I hesitated for a second, then pulled them close as well. I heard Misto and Ceramia whispering, and, looking up, gave them a glare so fierce, it sent them scuttling towards the entrance to the 'Yard - where they promptly stopped, and, in unison gasped "Wow!"
Frowning slightly, I nudged Tumble P and Etcy (who suddenly seemed a whole lot better!) off me, and clambered to my feet, still clutching a calming Rumpel to my chest. Then, with the 2 others clinging to my fur, I walked over to where Cera and Misto were watching 2 cats dance in the middle of the 'Yard. My eyes opened wide, when I realised that it was Alonzo, dancing with a queen I distinctly recognised…
I know it's short, but I really wanted to leave you with a cliffhanger. Please read and update, I desperately need to know how I'm doing so far!
