A/N An odd but somehow sweet couple. Gus/Zabella This started out so different but I like where it went :P anyone else think so too? XD Enjoy!
I watch with everyone else, my heart beating louder when I see her there in the clearing. Jelly pulls at my paw but I'm caught in my own thoughts, watching her sing like she used to. When it was her and I, the Theatre cat and the Glamour Cat.
"I'm 15 for a moment Caught in between 10 and 20 And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are…" I sing inside my head, watching the still beautiful Glamour Cat dance silently at the front of the yard. Memories come flooding back.
Walking casually across these miniscule wires I trapezes easily, reciting Shakespeare as I go.
"What are you doing!" She calls up, brushing her long curls behind her ears. I smile down at the lovely queen saying "I was waiting for my Juliet, but I think she's here now." She was mine from then on, because we loved each other, nothing more.
I'm 22 for a moment She feels better than ever And we're on fire Making our way back from Mars- 15 there's still time for you Time to buy and time to lose 15, there's never a wish better than this When you only got 100 years to live.
I've lived a long time, almost nine lives. If only I'd known that she would leave when I was that carefree kitten. If only I knew I'd lose my heart so easily. If only I could have made it last longer.
"I'm 33 for a moment Still the man, but you see I'm a "they" A kid on the way A family on my mind…" Jelly was the most beautiful kitten I'd ever seen and I wish she would forgive 'Zabella like have. But there are only so many things you can say before they fall on deaf ears.
"I'm 45 for a moment The sea is high And I'm heading into a crisis Chasing the years of my life." She left that year and I was thrown into a downward spiral. I felt I couldn't live without her, and it was almost true. The rest of them kept my heart going, but they broke my heart all over again when they chose to hate her.
"15 there's still time for you Time to buy, Time to lose yourself Within a morning star 15 I'm all right with you 15, there's never a wish better than this When you only got 100 years to live…" I wouldn't change a thing, because otherwise I wouldn't be where I am, even if there are so many mistakes I couldn't see before.
"Half time goes by Suddenly you're wise Another blink of an eye 67 is gone The sun is getting high We're moving on..." I thought she'd never come back and so my new life started. The mist from the Jellicle Moon seems to seep into my head and distort the years into a blur. It feels so strange to have her back only to see Grizabella leave a different way.
"I'm 99 for a moment Dying for just another moment And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are…" The last hope I have is I'll find her in Heaviside.
"15 there's still time for you 22 I feel her too 33 you're on your way Every day's a new day...15 there's still time for you Time to buy and time to choose Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this When you only got 100 years to live."
