A/N: I'm just going to apologize now about Alonzo in this story, but mostly in this chapter. I like him just as much as you (assuming you do like him quite a bit), but he is written this way to entertain my good friend Bompalynx. Sorry again.

Pouncival sighed. He really didn't like Tumble and Plato at all. It was scary when they stole him from the empty cracker box he had been hiding in at the time. They could've beat him up, or killed him. He didn't know what they were going to do. Now he wished he hadn't shown his fear though. If he hadn't, Admetus wouldn't have had to stick up for him. None of this would've happened. All of it was his fault.

"Etcetera?" Pounce whispered, not wanting to wake Admetus up. "It's my fault, isn't it? If I hadn't shown how scared I was, Adme wouldn't have had to tell us."

"Pounce, no. It's not your fault at all. It's those jerks who call themselves cats' fault. It might be for the better though. Now that Tumble and Plato know about Ad and that he's not a killer, they might leave him alone."

"I sure hope so. I don't like them at all. Making him cry like that, in front of all us kits! Especially Electra. I think he likes her," Pounce explained.

"Hey guys," Alonzo said, walking into the box. "I'm here to watch you till your mom gets back." Etcy sighed.

"Great," she muttered under her breath. Pounce had to hold back his giggles. He found Alonzo extremely funny, but his sister couldn't stand him.

"So, what are you guys doing?"

"Waiting for Admetus to wake up," Etcetera answered automatically.

"If you want him awake, just poke him till he wakes up," Alonzo told them, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Pouncival snorted in delight, enjoying the way Alonzo said the things he did. Etcetera just rolled her eyes.

"We can't. He needs to wake up on his own," Etcetera explained.

"Oh, ok then. Is it just me, or does it smell like banana's in here?" Alonzo questioned, sniffing the air carefully. "I love bananas." Pouncival looked at Alonzo strangely. That one was just a bit too odd to be funny.

"Are you ok Alonzo?" Pouncival asked. Alonzo nodded absently, staring at a beetle crawling up the wall. Pouncival and Etcetera raised their eyebrows at each other, wondering what could be going through his mind. Alonzo continued to follow the beetle with his eyes until Demeter came back, a large goose in her mouth.

"Thanks Lonz," Demeter said, watching him watch the beetle. "Um, would you like some goose before you go?"

"Oh, no thanks Dem. I'll just take this and go." Alonzo stood up and plucked the beetle off the wall. "See you guys later," he called, walking out of the door. They watched him pet it as he walked off, until it apparently bit him. Then he smashed it, flicked it away, and stuck his tongue out after it, before disappearing around the tire.

"Uh, I'm not so sure you guys will be seeing him all that often anymore," Demeter told them.

"That's good. He scares me," Etcy said.

Pouncival stuck a paw out and batted at the white goose, now lying on the ground in front of him. He sniffed it carefully, before batting at it again.

"Does it taste good?" he wondered aloud. Cautiously, he licked its head.

"It's very good," Demeter assured him. Pouncival took a small bite out of its side.

"Yummy! It is good. Its feathers taste funny though." Demeter laughed and the three of them began to eat.

"Save some for Admetus. He's bound to be hungry when he wakes up," Demeter warned them as they neared the end of the goose. The kits nodded and took final bites.

"He can have the rest," Pouncival said, pushing the goose away from him slightly. "I'm stuffed." Etcetera nodded in agreement.

"That's good. Why don't you two go to bed now? Admetus probably won't be up until morning," Demeter said.

"What if he does wake up though?' Pounce asked.

"Yeah. I have to go get Leccie," Etcy reminded her.

"I'll get you up if he wants me to. You can't get Electra though. It's too late; Jenny will kill me."

"But you promised," Etcetera pointed out.

"Yes I did. Which is why he's not getting up till morning," Demeter said. Pouncival yawned, snuggling into his sister in a corner of the box.

"Ok. Night mom, I mean Demeter," he quickly said, trying to cover up his mistake as he pulled a small blanket over them. It wasn't quick enough though. Demeter heard what he said and couldn't help but grin.

"Yeah, not mom," Etcy said, a small grin on her face. Demeter's smile was so huge, her face began hurting. These kittens were calling her mom. Nothing could make her more happy.

A/N: An update on this story! How long has it been since the last update? I don't even know. I also don't know why it took me so long to type this, but hey. At least it's done. And, once again, I apologize for making Alonzo the way I did. And thanks again to Jemima-luvah for calling and unintentionally getting me to update.

Etcies: I don't think he likes me either. Don't worry.

Krissy-Lids: You made an alert in my email too. Boy, it has been awhile since I updated.

Jemima-luvah: You read this at school? I'm filling your out held hands now.

Bompalynx: Yay! I get a capitol L! Love you lots!

Mystitat: Yes, I do have an ending in mine. It's just taking me awhile to get there. I do that lots. :P
