After Tonight By Nemi Almighty

Rating: PG-13 to R (Rating Change)

Warnings: Suggestive Situations, Death, Possible Created Character(s) (In good taste, of corse...)

Disclaimer: I do NOT own CATS or any of the characters in it... I would buy it for about the 3 cents in my purse if they would take it, but I don't think that is going to happen. I *do* however claim this bit of fan fiction as my own, and I'd rather you not copy it.. I spend long hours on it...

Also: Yes, I know I had some slashy ness planned out... I had the couples planned and everything... but a tragic insident in my life has caused me to change the course of this story... yes, some of the pairings might remain, but most will not... if you MUST know... the Slash Pairings I had planned out were Victoria/Rumpleteazer and Mistoffelees/Quaxo... there, it's out, but I won't be using them... especially with how prissy I've made Victoria out to be... notice, I didn't MEAN to, it just kind of... happened... This story and it's characters now are loosely based on real-life events of late...

All characters ARE video version, to reduce confusion w/ names and such... All ages are calculated in HUMAN years, as it's easier to understand...

The rain ceased as the group of cats sat in the centre of the Junkyard. Munkustrap had relaxed in his position and proceded to chat to Mistoffelees and Victoria, being interupted by Electra at every inopourtune moment. Munkustrap was considered Electra's best friend, not including her brother, even though he was always getting onto her for one thing or another. He felt as if he was like an older brother to her, and therefor, the two had an extreamly close bond, dispite thier seven year age gap. She had such a mature mind for such a young cat, though her actions did not always prove it, and in mere days was her coming of age ball, when she would become an adult.

Rumpleteazer sat with a large smile on her face, tugging at her brother's tail one moment, and poking at Quaxo the next. The striped queen always seemed to be smiling, not matter how anyone else felt, as she always tried to make them feel happier. Quaxo and Mungojerrie, in turn, were poking and tugging right back at her, causing her to burst into fits of laughter and giggles at random moments, thus distracting the other cats.

A red-orange, brown, and white young adult tom climed out from his junkpile- dugout home and looked around with sleepy, bright eyes. He looked around with a slight yawn and saw the group of cats. He smiled and began walked to them, delighted when he picked Rumpleteazer out of the croud. He quickly picked up his pace and hurried towards them, stopping right beside Rumpleteazer.

Teazer looked beside her a moment later to see Plato's smiling face. She smiled as well and flung her arms around him. "'Ey Plato! 'Ow ah yew doin' this love'aly, muddy morning?"

Plato smiled and melted slightly in side as he hugged the young queen back. "I'm doing fine, Rumpleteazer? And you?" If Plato had his eyes open, he would have seen the slight glare being giving by Electra, Mungojerrie, and Quaxo. Sure, Plato was a great cat, but they weren't so fond of him hanging all over thier friend.

Teazer giggled slightly and purred playfuly. "Oh, Oi'm dewin' great! We was jus' talkin' about stuff an' playin', ya know..." She pulled away from the hug and smiled. "Yew knoa, Leccy's Comin' of Age Ball is gonna be sewn!"

Plato nodded slightly. The ball... the ball he was going to ask Rumpleteazer to. Just last year, when Victoria came of age, he had danced with her. Plato and Victoria were close friends though kittenhood, and he had wanted nothing more than her to grow into a happy, strong adult queen. As time past, Victoria had changed, and the two had drifted apart. "Yea, I know..." He said, holding back enthusiasm. "It's pretty sad you didn't get to have a coming of age ball with us, Teazer..."

It was well known that Jerrie and Teazer had just arrived the junkyard a few years ago from Macavity's Tribe, when Rumpleteazer was 19 years old, and therefor too old to have a coming of age ceremony... and the fact that it was Exotica's coming of age ball did not help the manner. Now, at the age of 21, Rumpleteazer was considered an adult by natural law, but a kitten by Jellicle Law.

"Oh..." Electra piped up, begining to feel a bit upset. "Didn't you hear? I discussed it with Munky and he went to Old Deuteronomy... Rumpleteazer is gonna share my ball with me.."

Plato's eyes grew wide and glowed. "Oh!? Really? Well, that's wonderful!" He smiled and huged Teazer, who hugged back. The glares from the three cats grew greater. "Well, I guess that means you won't have to find a date for it!" Plato sighed inside his head. He knew that now all he would have to do would be to come to Teazer at the Jellicle Ball... and hopefully someone would come for Electra too...

And the three cats glared, formulating in thier heads every way to get Plato away from Teazer...

Well, I'm strating to get emotional writing, as I'm remembering what I plan for the next chapter of the fic... Plato is based loosely on a friend of mine named Carl who was so in love with a girl that acted a great deal like Teazer... and Electra is loosely based on myself...
