Demeter shivered slightly as the cool wind ruffled her deep gold fur. Another day had passed and she still hadn't told Munkustrap her feelings for him. She sighed frustrated as she sat on an old rusty car in a secluded part of the junkyard where she had a perfect view of the stars. Some how stargazing comforted her when she was scared or lonely.

"O Everlasting Cat why can't I be brave, brave enough to face Macavity, brave enough to tell Munkustrap my feeling for him………brave like…. Bomba" she whispered. Of course Demeter loved Bomba they're sisters after all but Demeter always longed to be like her. Bomba had always been the brave and confident one who attracted all the toms while Demeter was timid and shy. Demeter felt her eyes well a little but then she heard a noise that startled her.

She turned around alert and then calmed down when she realized it was Munkustrap. "Dem? What are you doing here?" he asked jumping on the car by her. "Um just stargazing a little," she said quietly. Munkustrap noticed that she didn't seem like herself "Dem what's wrong you haven't been yourself lately?" he asked worried about her. "Um what do you mean?" she asked trying to avoid eye contact. "Well you've been quieter then usual and you've been avoiding me did I do something wrong?" he asked. "No its not you…its me I-I've just not been feeling like myself" she said finally looking into his eyes. "Does this have anything to do with Bombalurina?" he asked. Demeter really wish he hadn't asked that she sighed realizing she had to tell him the truth.

"Well kind of" she confessed. Munkustrap listened for her to go on. "Well sometimes I feel like I'm living in a shadow, like I'll never be as brave or confident as Bomba, like I'll always be the violet never the rose" she blurted out feeling slightly embarrassed but better she had finally told him. Munkustrap looked into her deep emerald eyes and half smiled. "You know what I think?" he asked her. Demeter lifted her head curious "What?" she asked. "I think that violets are just as beautiful as roses" he whispered. Demeter smiled feeling her cheeks grow warm.
