Well, here's the next chapter- I'm taking a break from putting my room back together ::sighs:: It's so much harder to fit everything into a room that's about a third the size of the room it was all in. But of course, the college student doesn't get a choice on her room anymore the little 14 year old brat does though... ::twitches:: sorry. getting real close to a breakdown here cause of all the 'you had 24 hours and this isn't finished?' and 'hurry up and get your junk unpacked so i can have my sowing room back' coming from her and mom. Anyway, enjoy!
Munkustrap and Tugger followed by Alonzo and Mistoffolees arrived at the couch a little later though Mungo seemed to be the only one of the two to notice them. "Hey, thought you were only bringing Munkustrap, Tugger," he commented.
"Well I was," Tugger responded with a grin. "But he ended up being followed by his shadow and then Misto decided to tag along too- what can I say, we're just one big happy family here."
"Obviously," Mungo muttered glancing again at Teazer who was now looking down at the four toms below but with a distant look in her eyes.
She sighed after a moment and climbed down as if he wasn't even there. "So what is the matter, Teazer?" Munkustrap inquired after a while. "It can't be because you miss Mungo this time- he's right here."
"Wha'? Oh yeah he is," Teazer sighed glancing up at Mungo who was looking pretty upset though she wasn't sure if it was because of what she had just told him or something else. "Oi... Tugger says I haveta tell ya," she hesitated.
"Tell me what?" He prompted after a little bit.
Teazer sighed looking down at her paws and told him- and the other toms present- what she had already told Tugger and Mungo. When she had finished she looked back up at Munkustrap. "Oi sorry-"
"For what?" he asked but he looked grim.
"Bringin' another problem here... as if Macavity wasn' enough-"
He waved it off. "Not your fault at all. Just got some adjustments to make is all. You and Mungo should stay here for a while-"
"Oi think Oi can protect my Teazer jus' fine withou' help," Mungo snapped jumping down to stand beside Teazer. "Besides da humans are probably worried bout us-"
"Mungo-" Alonzo started.
"No, don' 'Mungo' me, Alonzo," He growled. "Oi don' recall askin' yer oppinion anyway! You act as if Oi don' know how ta keep da Queen in my life safe- Oi've worked alongside murderers for Heavyside sakes!"
"Mungo-" Teazer stepped back a little. "Oi- Oi actually would feel better if we did stay here..."
Frustrated and upset he turned away from her. "Fine, if dats wha' you want," he snapped. "Oi'm not gonna stay though."
"But-"
"No. You don' need me obviously. This is it, Rumpleteazer," his voice shook ever so slightly. "This is da end of Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer. Goodbye."
"Mungo- Oi- You don' mean dat!" Teazer was startled and hurt.
"Don' I?" He didn't turn to face her. He was too furious to even care though his furry was more because of stress, worry for her and frustration that she hadn't told him before and that she seemed to want the others protection more then his.
Teazer watched him walk away eyes wide in shock. "N-no. Mungo! Come back!" She pleaded starting after him but he didn't seem to hear her.
"Let him go, Teazer," Alonzo said quietly wrapping an arm around her. "He's just blowing off steam is all, you'll see."
Mungo slide through a hole in the fence and continued heading towards Macavity's Lair. At the least he'd have information he could give his boss that might result in less of a punishment for not completing his task.
Well there you go. Since mom and them aren't home right now I guess I might add another chapter. You know the drill though- Review review review. I never know if I'm doing ok or not if you don't review. .
Krissy4: yeah i was actually aiming for that- gotta keep you reading somehow. No fun if you tell everything at once now is it? Dying your hair and at the candystore huh? wow, sounds like a lot of fun.
Chimalmaht: Well, good news and bad news- bad news- room's not done good news- got you some more of the story .
