Thanks to all of my reviewers… I guess I wouldn't be continuing this fanfic if it weren't for them. You guys know who you are. Anyway, this update was long overdue, so here is the next chapter of Where's Rumple.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything, except for the secret character, and the plot.

Mungo and Rumple were sitting under a tree in the junkyard. Rumple was explaining why she had stabbed him in the back. "It felt like someone had cast some ruddy spell on me. Then, the next thing I know, I'm stabbing you in the back. I'm sorry."

"For the last time, mate, it's okay. I forgive you." Mungo replied. He didn't want her to feel guilty. He heard rustling behind him. "Did you hear that?" He asked his friend.

"No. Maybe you're just hearing things. Everlasting Cat, I made you delirious!" Rumple cried, jumping on him.

For the next hour, Mungo had to convince Rumple that he was fine, and that it wasn't her fault.

In another part of the junkyard…

The kittens Vicky, Electra, and Etcetera (Et) were playing Hide-And-Seek. Electra was It. She began counting. "1.. 2... 3..." Vicky and Et scampered off to hide.

"98.. 99.. 100! Ready or not, here I come!" Electra finished. She began looking for her friends. As she was looking through a pile of junk, she heard a voice behind her.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. What is a beautiful kitten such as yourself doing here in all of this filth?" She turned around. Behind her stood a red cat with stripes of black and a white underbelly. She nearly screamed out loud. He looks just like Macavity!

As she opened her mouth to scream, he covered her mouth with his paw. "Now, now, is that any way to treat a new cat? Now, I will let go of your mouth if you promise not to scream. Now will you be quiet?" She slowly nodded, his paw still covering her mouth.

"Good." He slowly moved his paw away from her mouth. She closed her gaping mouth, but continued to stare. "That's a good kitten. My name's Markusan. I was walking around the neighborhood, looking for a place to live, since my owners tossed me into the street. I thought this place might be good. Is it?"

"My name's Electra, and sure it is! It's amazing."

"Electra. Hmmm…" He walked around her, examining her. "The name suits you."

"C'mon," she said, taking his paw, "I'm going to show you around the junkyard and meet everyone here. First you have to meet Old D. That's what we call him for short. He's the leader of our tribe of Jellicles." She started leading him through the junkyard, temporarily forgetting her game of Hide-And-Seek. I like him. He's really nice, and pretty cute too. Maybe we can be friends!

Hidden in some random pile of junk…

Vicky and Et watched her through the shadows. "Do you think she forgot about our game?" Et asked her sister. Vicky nodded, but she wasn't paying attention. Her eyes were on the mysterious red and black cat. He's so handsome.. But he'll never like a kitten like me. She sighed.

Et looked over at her older sister. "Vicky?" She said, nudging her in the arm. "Vic? Are you okay?" There was a faraway look in her eye, and she was fluttering her eyelashes at the new cat. Oh boy, Et thought, my older sister has lost it.

Vicky started to walk out of her hiding place and follow the two cats. She walked as if in a trance, her eyes transfixed on the red-black cat. "Vicky!" Et called after her. "We're still playing Hide-And-Seek even though Electra forgot!" These calls fell deaf to Vicky's ears.

"Vicky! C'mon, at this rate, Electra's going to find you and I'm going to win!" She smiled at the thought. "Hey, maybe that won't be too bad. I never win anything." She looked up. "Oh, Everlasting Cat! Vicky, wait up!" she called after her older sister, running to catch up to her.

Walking through the junkyard…

Electra and Markusan met many Jellicles on the way to meet Old D. They saw Coricopat and Tantomile, Bombalurina and Tugger (making out under a tree. No surprise about that,) Tumblebrutus and Pouncival, and Rumple and Mungo. It seemed like everyone was walking around in pairs that day.

Electra walked over to the tree where Rumple and Mungo were sitting. She pulled Markusan along with her. Behind them, Vicky and Et hid in some random bushes. "Rumple, Mungo, this is Markusan. He's new to the junkyard." Electra announced.

Rumple and Mungo waved hello. Markusan nodded to Mungo, smiled at Rumple. He bent down, took Rumple's hand, and kissed it. "my dear lady, what a surprise to see you again."

Rumple snatched her hand away. "I don't think I know you," she said slowly.

Markusan feigned shock. "Why of course you do, my lady. We met a few weeks ago. Surely you must remember."

"I'm sure I would, but I don't." Rumple was confused. Who is this bloke? I never met him!

"Well, maybe you'll remember me sometime later. Well, see you two later." He said, and waved goodbye. Electra pulled him towards the wall, but Rumple could have sworn that he turned back and winked at her.

In some random bushes…

Vicky started to cry. "He doesn't like me!" She sobbed. "And he never will! He likes Rumple!"

Et patted her on the back. "It's okay, Vic, there are a lot more fish in the sea. Which reminds me, can we find some lunch?"

Vicky sniffed, and wiped away her tears. "Okay, let's go. Race you to the den!" she cried, and they were off.

Finally at the wall…

'This," Electra said, pointing at the wall, "is the Vicarige Wall. You go here if you want to talk to Old D. Just jump up on the wall, like so," she said, jumping on the wall, and call his name a few times. "Old D, Old D!" Markusan joined her on the wall and helped her shout for Old D. After a few minutes of calling his name, they saw him come out of a den.

"Children, I heard you calling me the first few times. Now, what do you want?" He asked, coming up to the wall.

"Old D, I'd like you to meet a friend of mine. He's new to the junkyard. This," she said, gesturing to Markusan, "is Markusan."

Markusan nodded. "Nice to meet you sir. I needed a home, since my owners kicked me out. Can I stay here?"

"It's nice to meet you, Markusan, and of course, you are welcome to stay here." He turned to the other kitten. "Electra, you are to be Markusan's guide. Show him around the junkyard, and help him get settled." Electra nodded.

"Thank you, sir," Markusan said, smiling.

Old D felt uneasy. There was a glimmer of something in his eyes. There was something wrong with that cat. He just couldn't put his finger on it. After they left, that young cat had looked at him with a sly grin….

Well, there you have it. The long awaited chapter. So, what did you think? Please review!
