To get rid of confusion: Anglina is me in feline form. Yes, my character is a cat. See my website for a picture.

Chapter 1

Mungojerrie looked around unhappily. The Valentine Ball was only a day away and already most of the cats had a date. He sighed. The cat that he wanted to go with was one of those who already had a date. At least that's what he thought. Mungojerrie had first noticed them going out hunting together. Then they'd go for walks. He wished he was the one who would go with her, but he was too scared to ask her. But he hated the other tom. The other tom was moving in on his territory.

Jerrie had liked her for quite a while, but was never able to tell her. It shouldn't have been that hard for he lived with her. He'd first realized he loved her one night when they were star gazing…

Flashback

They had just returned from a very successful burglary and decided to relax. This time it was only the two of them seeing as Anglina was sick. They'd gotten several paintings, a bottle of perfume and Teazer had found a pearl necklace.

"Hey Jerrie," Rumpleteazer called, "what's that star called?"

He looked over at her and drew in a sharp breath. She was sitting down with her head tilted towards the sky. Her tail slowly swished from side to side and her whiskers shook a bit. She was beautiful. The white parts of her coat seemed to soak up the moonlight, giving her an almost glowing aura. The string of pearls around her neck looked like they were miniature versions of the moon and as her eyes met his; he could see the stars mirrored in her blue eyes. He struggled not to lose himself in them as he tried in vain to comprehend what she asked him. "Bluh?" he blurted out when he could speak again.

Teazer giggled. "I asked, what star is that?" she pointed upwards. She loved to look at the stars.

He felt faint when she giggled. He moved a bit closer to her and tore his eyes away from her beauty. "That's not a star, that's Mercury. It's one of the closest planets to earth." He said as he rubbed her head in an affectionate gesture. An intense feeling flooded him as he made contact. It took all he had to draw away.

She looked back at the sky. She suddenly yawned and stretched slowly. Her muscles moved underneath her fur. She lay down and rolled over slightly. Her lithe body was curled into a horseshoe shape and her tail twitched. She began to wash herself. She had fallen into a small puddle on the way back from the job and her paws were still dirty. "Mungo, what do you think of the stars?"

As she rolled over, exposing her white belly, he shivered. He just watched her instead of the stars as she washed herself. Her little pink tongue flicked over paw and then her paw roamed over her face. He wished he had the courage to sit beside her. But he didn't and so he just contented himself to watch her. He yawned, his silver teeth glinting faintly in the moonlight. He was so tired, but he didn't want to go to bed before her. He wanted to watch her for as long as he could. "I think the stars are great." He replied, green eyes still on her.

Currently

His ears perked up when he heard a very familiar giggle pierce the night air. He looked up to see Rumpleteazer race in followed by Alonzo, Tumblebrutus, Anglina, and Pouncival. All three toms looked pissed-off at the calico queen and the red and pink queen just laughed.

As the toms stopped for breath, Anglina ran into Pouncival and cried, "Tag! You're it!" The three toms chased her around the junkyard while Teazer ran over to Mungojerrie.

"What's the matter, darling?" he asked.

She flopped down next to him, panting heavily. "Oh, nothing." A coy smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. "Anglina and I were taking a walk when suddenly Pouncival, Tumblebrutus, and Alonzo jump out of the bushes and pinned us to the ground." She stopped talking for a minute to breath. She continued on as she rolled over onto her side, facing Jerrie. "After we were able to get away, we off and found ourselves at that fish storage place. I came back and knocked Alonzo over. Anglina meanwhile was waiting for them to come near her. He," she gave a little giggle. "nuzzled me, but started to chase me. Pouncival and Tumble joined him. I ran until I returned to the storage space. Then I took a sharp left turn and they ran right under where Anglina was waiting with a crate of fish. They won't be clean anytime soon." She giggled again.

He half listened to her prattle as she sunk down beside him. He looked up to see her roll over right beside him. His breath started to become irregular when he realized how easy it would be for him to roll over and on top of her. They were practically spooning right there on top of the car. He felt his face grow warm and hoped that she didn't notice it. He could feel the heat from her body next to his. It was almost like an electric shock passed between him and he shifted slightly and his arm touched her belly. The same intense feeling he had felt the other night stole over his body as he lay next to her. She'd been hanging out with Alonzo recently. Everybody had thought that he'd be with Cassandra, but when her pets moved, she went with them. Now he seemed to be taking up with Teazer. Jerrie had missed his chance to ask her. He wanted her to be his mate. Whenever he looked at her these days, all he saw was the most perfect creature in the world. He looked at her again and asked hesitantly, "Hey, Teazer?"

She rolled over and coincidently rolled right up next to him. She was half on him and half off. She felt him shudder a bit and wondered about it. It was actually pretty comfortable up against him. She wouldn't mind staying like this for a while. "What?"

He froze when she rolled on top of him. He involuntarily shivered at being so close to her. He could feel her heart beat. He stayed facing the middle of the junkyard instead of turning towards her. He knew that if he did, then it would be disaster. "Do, do you have a date for the ball yet?" he asked quietly. He then closed his eyes in dread.

She laughed quietly. "No, I don't. I thought Alonzo was gonna ask me, but he seems quite taken with Electra. I don't care. He can go with her if he wants to. I just might not go myself. What's the point of going if you don't have a date?"

"Hey Rumpleteazer!" called Jemima. "Come play!"

"Yeah. Tumble found this great sand pit." Etcetera piped up.

"Coming guys!" she pushed herself off Mungojerrie and shook her coat out. "See ya later Mungo!" she scampered down the car and ran towards the small group of kittens waiting for her near the back of the junkyard.

Mungo was overjoyed by the fact that she didn't have a date. It made his whole world lighter. Later that night he slumped home after going on a run by himself. He'd decided to get her a diamond necklace. He made it through the cat flap and up the stairs when he heard a noise. He stopped and waited until he finally heard something. It sounded like Teazer, but there was also another voice. It was another tom. His heart dropped. Then he heard Anglina's voice. She was the other cat who lived with them.
