While the boys were having their talk with Tugger, the girls were about to do a little discussing of their own with someone of great knowledge in the department of boys…Bombalurina. She would know exactly what to do with their situation.
"Bomba?", came the soft voice of Jemima as she and her friends approached. Bombalurina looked up to see three glowing girls standing over her, giggling to themselves.
"Hello girls. It's nice to see you. What brings you to this part of the junkyard this morning?", Bomba asked, stretching ever so elegantly.
"We're here to ask your advice on something. Something of great importance.", Jemima replied, looking back at her friends.
Bomba looked back and saw the way the girls looked at each other. There could be only one subject that they wanted to discuss, and it was one Bomba was always glad to discuss.
"Well, judging by the way you three act, I'm going to take a stab and say it's about boys", Bomba said, smiling.
"YES!!! But not just ANY boys….", Etcetera said, jumping up and down. To this, Bomba raised an eyebrow.
"Plato!", Jemima said, dreamily.
"Pouncival!", Electra said, stepping forward.
"TUMBLEBRUTUS!!", Etcetera squealed, sighing happily.
Bomba laughed softly, recalling her own days of young and innocent love. She looked at each kitten, and then looked again, this time noticing how much like adults the girls looked…they were filling out in all the right areas, becoming more graceful, and Bomba had noticed that lately, even the adult toms were taking interest in the kittens. The Junkyard was going to be quite a different place very soon.
"I see. Let me guess, you've all become stumped as to how to win these dashing young toms hearts, correct?", Bomba asked.
"Well….yes. See, Vikie's already got Misto…", started Etcetera.
"Wait…Victoria's already mated?", Bomba asked, amazed. To this piece of news, Demeter came out of the den and stared wide eyed at the three kittens. She shared at look with her sister, then smiled.
"That's wonderful! Soon, then, all of you will have mates!", Demeter said, clasping her hands together at the thought.
"Well, that's what we came to ask your advice about. We all have decided who we want to mate with, but we want to know how to get them!!!", Electra explained slowly.
Demeter smiled, and out of her own curiosity asked who the girls had picked. She laughed at the response.
"Platumblevial", said Jemima, Etcetera, and Electra all at the same time.
Demeter blinked at her sister.
"Jemima likes Plato, Electra likes Pouncival, and Etcetera likes Tumblebrutus", Bomba said to Demeter, clearing all confusion.
"Oh. Right.", Demeter said. She yawned, said good luck to the kittens, and walked back into Bomba's den.
"So what do we do to get them to love us?", Jemima asked excitedly.
Bomba leaned in close, got a mischevious smile on her face, and said,
"Here's what you do".
