Author's note: YAY!! I finally typed chapter four. Bet you've been DYING to know why Chelshastin ran offfor no apparent reason. So why are you sitting there, reading the author's note?! Read and enjoy!!

Disclaimer: I don't own Cats, the score, or any of the characters. Makin' this short, cause I gotta get to the Corrs concert. Chelshastin is mine. Ummmm.....that's it.

"Chel?!" Pouncival called after her, "Was it something I said"? He thought, "I wish I hadn't touched on such an iffy subject...." That's when that little voice inside his head began going. "So why are you sitting there? GO AFTER HER!!" Realizing he was being rather dumb, he ran after her.

Everything explained itself in several seconds. First Pouncival saw Chelshastin...and THEN he saw Tumblebrutus accompanied by "LONZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Chelshastin squealed as she ran into Alonzo's arms. "Hey, kid!!!" Her cousin exclaimed, picking her up and twirling her around, "How've ya been?! I was wondering when you'd come find me! I heard you joined us as a Jellicle?" "Yep!" Chel replied proudly, "It's been great. Everyone's been really nice, and Pouncival's been showing me around the Junkyard. He was nice enough to come and visit me at Jellylorum's." Pouncival could feel the color creeping into his face, and was suddenly very thankful that his fur provided sufficient covering for all of his face but the tip of his nose. He stepped over to shake hands-erm...paws with Alonzo.

"I really appreciate you showing Chel around," remarked Alonzo. "No problem!" Pouncival said, taking a quick glance at Chelshastin and grinning. "Um, Sorry to interrupt, 'Lonz, but we've gotta go. Deuteronomy said he wanted us to meet him at 11:45 sharp. It's 11:36." Tumblebrutus had walked over from where he had been watching their little reunion.

"Oh.....whoops...I kinda forgot about that......" Alonzo said sheepishly than regaining his composure, continued, "Tumble, this is my cousin, Chelshastin. Chels, this is my good friend, Tumblebrutus." Tumblebrutus stuck his paw out, "How'd ya do, miss." Pouncival stifled a giggle. Tumblebrutus was never that......gentletomly, if that's what you'd call it. "Pleased to meet you!!" Chelshastin exclaimed, shaking his paw vigorously with both of her own, "Any friend of 'Lonzo's is a friend of mine!!!" Tumble looked a little scared of her.

"Okay, we've really gotta go. Seeya later, Chelshastin; Pounce," "Okay, bye!!!!!" Chel waved in a hyperactive manner as Alonzo and Tumble walked away, Tumblebrutus rubbing his paw. "Okay, what now?" she looked at Pouncival with large, hazel eyes.

Pouncival finally plucked up all his courage and spoke up, "Chelshastin, I was trying to ask you before, but....Well then you saw Alonzo, and.....I mean if you really don't want to, I understand....and-""Pounce, you're not finishing any of your sentences." He blushed deep crimson at this, and was yet even more grateful for his fur, "Well," he took a deep breath, "A while ago, my friend Plato was sharing a box with me. Plato moved out about 2 months ago, so now there's an extra bedroom, and I wanted to know if.....you wanted to be my roommate?"

Chelshastin beamed at him, "Sure." "Really?" She nodded. Pounce couldn't believe his ears, for he had been sure she would turn his offer down. After all, she didn't know him that well. He grinned widely (resembling the Cheshire Cat) and quickly licked her cheek. He saw the very end of her nose turn bright pink. "I was actually hoping someone would offer me a place to stay. As much as I like Jellylorum, she's not much for good companionship. This is gonna be SO much fun!!" The two young cats smiled at each other for a minute, "Alright, let's get your things from Jelly's and get you settled in. Follow me!!" and Pouncival ran off with Chelshastin hot on his trail.
