Title: Unique
Summary: "...crazy was the same thing as unique, right"
Disclaimer: I don't own CATS or the characters. Now that I think about it, they probably own me a lot more than I'll ever own them. Which I don't. Dx
Warnings: Extreme drabble. So short I'm ready to slap myself.
Author's Note: Fanfic idea from "The Pied Piper's Assistant". It's so short because I have no imagination and couldn't work with the idea. It's funny; I actually wanted to run with this one, but I couldn't think of anything that wasn't 'Sue-ish and angsty. Yikes.
'Here, here, here, and here,' she thought. She was wrapped up in her work, smearing the mud around like paint on a canvas. It felt like she was trying to match something, but at the same time she was trying to make something completely different. Myself, she called it. It was all slightly wet, a little uncomfortable, and a horrid color. The greenish color from the mixed in plant life reminded her of Asparagus' coat. It smelled horrid.
The stylized markings she created were nowhere close to the perfection she craved in her work; the shapes were not right- the colors were too dark! It frustrated her to no end, and she became even more enthralled in her quest. She didn't even hear the grey tabby approaching.
"Can I ask what, exactly, you're doing?" The voice sent the young queen reeling backwards in surprise. She'd been creating her own spots and stripes with mud. As much as some of the other kittens admired her fur, she couldn't bring herself to like it. She envied the multi-colored stripes and spots that covered her friends' fur; she thought there was something so much more interesting about them. To her, it felt like a white cat was simply a white cat, and that a white cat looked like every other cat. Spots and stripes were unique.
Unique, it happens, was the exact thought floating through Munkustrap's head at that moment, as he looked down at Victoria, who had seconds ago been covering herself in mud. Well, maybe not unique, but certainly a synonym of some sort- crazy was the same thing as unique, right?
