~*~A/N: ok, I forgot to put this in the first chapter, so here goes. I do not own CATS or any of the characters…they belong to Andrew Lloyd Webber, RUG, T.S. Elliot, Trever Nunn…and whoever else those people are. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to own a few of them (Tumble, Plato, Tugger…) Anyway, enjoy the story, and please R/R!!~*~

Etcetera was the first one to snap out of it once the Junkyard was light again. She took a look around and squealed in delight, seeing that the Jellicles were humans. She walked over to a former male kitten, and took a good look at him. He was tall and kind of lanky, but still muscular, and he had shaggy blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Tumble!! YAY!!! I found you!!", Etcetera squeaked, jumping up and down. Tumblebrutus just looked her up and down and smiled his usual goofy grin. He kinda liked the way she looked as a human..tall and thin with long wavy brown hair and green eyes.

"Hey Cety!! We're human!", Tumble said, still grinning. Etcetera playfully hit his arm.

"Well, aren't you the Master of the Obvious?", she said, smiling her brilliant smile back at him.

Just then, a yawing Plato approached them, and gave them both a quizzical look

"Um…Tumble, right?", Plato asked the blonde boy, who nodded. Etcetera, still bouncing, saw a girl with long blonde hair, and called her over.

'Vickie!!! Vickie!!! It's me, Cety!!! Over here!!!", Etcetera screamed, forcing the boys to cover their ears.

"Cety, don't call her over here, she's weirding me out!", Plato said, his blue eyes getting big. Etcetera took a good look at him in human form for the first time, and felt her heart flutter for just a second. Sure, he was a rather attractive cat, but now he was tall and broad shouldered, with short brown hair and big blue eyes. He looked a little bigger than the other guys/kittens, but was still as whiney as ever. Noticing his comment about Victoria, she narrowed her eyes at him.

"What do you mean, she's 'weirding you out'? How so?", she asked, very curious.

Plato shrugged. "I dunno, ever since that thing at the Ball, she's been all "oh I love you so much", and well…I dunno, I kinda wish I HADN"T been the one to do the Mating Dance with her….", Plato confessed, turning red, avoiding any and all eye contact with the green eyed girl. She opened her mouth to greet Victoria as the blonde approached, but was cut off by a loud cry from above.

"LOOK OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", was all they heard before another lanky boy came crashing out of his perch from above. He sat up, shaking out his shaggy brown hair, his own brown eyes full of mischief.

"Pouncival!! Get off me!!!", Victoria cried, trapped under Pounce. He smiled sheepishly and helped Victoria to her feet.

"I'm right sorry, Vic!! I didn't mean to fall on you!", he said latching on to her, hugging her tightly. She laughed a little, but pushed him off.

"It's ok, Pounce. It just surprised me, that's all.", she said, her gaze resting on Plato. She didn't understand why he was so mean to her…she thought she meant something to him, but obviously, he thought something else.

Plato grabbed Etcetera by the arm, and mumbled something about looking for the others, when Tumblebrutus decided he'd come along, leaving Victoria and Pouncival alone to stare after their friends. Pounce took one look at his friend, and when he saw she was starting to tear up, put his arm around her softly.

"Thanks, Pounce. You're a real friend.", Victoria said, smiling through her tears.

*~*~*~*

"…and I thought I was dying! I didn't know what to think.", Tumblebrutus was explaining how he felt when the blackout happened, but Plato wasn't listening. He was thinking about why he had been so mean to Victoria lately, and the other feelings he had in his heart…feelings he felt for someone else. She had started giving him these feelings a short time ago, while play fighting one day. All it took, for him, was one good look into her green eyes, and a good listen to her bubbly laughter to make him fall for her.…

"Plato? Are you alright?", he heard as he suddenly snapped back into reality. Etcetera was looking at him, her eyes questioning, searching his for answers. She had noticed he had been acting strange around her lately, and she hadn't quite figured it out.

"Uh, yeah. I'm fine. Just thinking.", Plato answered, giving her a reasuring smile. The trio continued on, but only two of them talked. Plato just thought more about his feelings. Every so often, she smiled at him, making his heart skip a beat each time. Just then, he heard the sound of laughter from behind him.

"Plato, I didn't know you were so….big!", Electra said, her shoulder length hair blowing in the wind. She walked over and poked his muscles, and wrinkled her nose.

"Human boys are so funny looking", she said shaking her head. Then she noticed Tumble, staring shyly at her, and quickly corrected herself.

"Excuse me, human boys, except for him, are funny looking", Electra said, flashing Tumble a wide grin.

He just blushed.

"Well, I could say the same for Human girls, and all this hair they have", Plato said, gently running his fingers through Etcetera's waist length brown hair. She looked into his eyes….

"Hey guys!!! Wait up!", came the excited call of Jemima, as she ran over to where her friends were talking. She was just as cute in human form as she was in cat form, with huge brown eyes, a sweet voice and long black hair. She looked around, and asked where the others are, and about Misto.

"Well, I heard Munkus yelling at him earlier…apparently he wasn't too happy.", Tumble said, shrugging. Jemima looked worried, and wandered off to find Misto.

"Hey, Etcetera, wanna come chase mice", Tumble asked, his eyes gleaming with mischief.

"Um, Tumble?"

"Yeah?"

"We're human now…remember?"

"Oh yeah. Nevermind"

Electra said something about checking in on Victoria and Pounce (they HAD been left alone), and Tumble said he'd come along.

Plato knew this was his chance to talk to Etcetera alone. And he was scared to death.
