"You know bombalurina, it's not nice just hanging round, you look like a whore waiting for a Tom to walk by and frisk you", Griddlebone sneered at bombalurina as she walked by the red queen, "at least I can get a Tom to frisk me, unlike you Griddlebone, "it's LADY Griddlebone darling", "ah yes, lady, not much of lady are you, spending all this time on a dirty boat, fucking an old pirate cat" bomba laughed when she finished and walked off into the direction of macavity's den, her ears twitched when she noticed Griddlebone following her, "don't worry red, Macavity called for me as well, don't feel so special now do you", bomba's fur spiked, " I don't know why he wanted you back here".

"Hello my queens, I'm glad your both here" bomba smiled and took her place next to Macavity and purred when he started stroking her head fur, Griddlebone stared and sat down on the chair opposite them both, "were going to have an adventure this week ladies, were going to the jellicle ball" bomb tensed and pressed her claws into macavitys leg, "nervous my darling bomba" Macavity laughed, "nothing bad is going to happen, I just want to talk to those darling brothers of mine and father" he continued stroking bomba's fur making her purr yet again, Griddlebone spoke up first, "so want do you need us for?", he deadpanned "I thought you girls could see if you can bring Demeter back, she doesn't belong there, we know it and she does, out of her sweet nature though she stays, no doubt that brother of mine convincing her to stay" Macavity sneered at the though of his brother with his paws on their Demeter, "I'll do it mac, I'll get her to come back home" bomba had stood up and nuzzled into macavitys shoulder and neck, "I'll bring our queen home" "thank you my sweet red queen, she's playing a part remember, she may resist" bombalurina had stood up and started walking out of the den "I think I can handle that, cmon Griddlebone, time to teach you to dance, if you don't break something first" "At least I have a higher vocal range than you" bomb sighed, "do you ever do anything other than complain and sleep with pirates?"

A FEW DAYS LATER AT THE BALL

"Munks I don't think I can go to the ball this year, I'm not feeling too great, I might just go to my humans house" Demeter was lay in her and Munkustraps den, in reality she felt fine but she had been here way too long and she knew that, she needed to go home, the junkyard was nice but, she needed to be back in macavitys arms, next to her best friend bombalurina, and back to insulting griddlebone whatever chance they got. She was snapped out of her thoughts by Munkustrap who, crawled onto the bed and snuggled into her, "if this is about what happened last year, I promise it won't happen again, and if it does I'll protect you" after a few minutes he said "or is this about bombalurina, how she left with Macavity and we've not seen her since" deme shifted slightly hearing the hatred in munks voice, he continued, "honestly I never trusted her I knew she still wanted Macavity she's just like him, arrogant, full of herself, a murderer and-" "don't talk about her like that!" Deme had jumped up and her ears had flattered against her head, claws out and pointed at Munkustrap, he sat there stunned, "bomba is the sweetest queen in this whole damn place, and you will not speak badly of her ever again you hear me!" Deme was now stood at full hight, tail straight, fur spiked and claws still pointed at Munkustrap, she almost looked like she was ready to pounce on him like you would a mouse to kill it, Munk slowly rose from the bed, his face softening, "okay, I'm sorry Demi, I didn't mean to insult her, please just relax" Munk tried to pull her into him but she pulled away "I need to be alone right now, I'll see you later".

Demeter stormed out of the den and out of the junkyard, she needed to be alone where no one would find her, she definitely needed to be at home right now, he shouldn't speak about bomba like that, or Macavity, yes they were villains,but so was she and she missed that, finally alone with her thoughts in some woods, she let out a sob, why hadn't anyone come and got her yet, she had the twins who kept watching her sure, but they all could've escaped at anytime. As she was thinking, he ears pricked up at a noise, someone was close but she couldn't make out the smell, the golden queen stood "who's there" there was a chuckle, "oh deme I thought you'd recognise my scent, I'm quite disappointed" the red queen stood out from behind a tree and smiled at Demeter, deme was stood there unsure of what to do, finally bomba spoke "well, aren't you gonna hug me" she sauntered over to Demeter, eyes stuck to her, before bomba could continue she was tackled to the ground by Demeter in a bear hug, deme began purring and nuzzling into her neck and shoulder, "or tackling me to the ground and straddling me works too", she wrapped her arms around Demeter's small frame but frowned, "are they feeding you here??? Your so thin, a queen should not be left to starve" bomba pushed herself up but still cradled Demeter, "tell me deme are they feeding you?" She forced Demeter to look at her "um well no ones eaten properly in a while because it's so cold" bomba hissed, "how fucking dare they no cat should go without food because it's cold, tell the thief twins to steal some food" "actually they did! Whenever they could they came to my den with food for me because they knew you'd probably skin them if they didn't, so please don't be angry at them" deme nuzzled into her neck again calming the red queen, she sighed "okay I won't hurt them, good news though deme, we're getting you out of here, tonight" Demeter looked up and smiled brightly, "i can't wait, I've missed my den by the fire, it's so cold here bomba" she smiled "macs missed you too, he can't wait to get his paws on you after all this time" they both smiled at each other, "I've missed him too, good thing I'm in heat now" deme giggled like a kitten, bomba held her close, "I know, I could smell you as soon as you were near, that grey tabby definitely isn't taking care of you, "mmhhm" Demeter mused, bombalurina started stroking her back and wrapped her tail around her body, "how long has it been deme?" "Way too long" Demeter started licking at bombas fur and neck "way too fucking long", she continued her motions and she heard bomba whimper, 'this is your best friend what are you doing??' Demeter's inner thoughts screamed at her to stop, but she couldn't, bomb hadn't stopped either so why should she, soon they were lay down again and bombs paws were running themselves all over Demeter, the moment passed though, ""if you two are done getting to know each other again I would appreciate it if we could get moving" Griddlebone appeared spooking both the queens and causing Demeter to fall over "hey lady griddlebone, erm we weren't doing anything" deme went bright red "hmm I'm sure bomba wasn't but you my dear golden one were definitely doing something" bomba stood up bringing Demeter with her, "yes she was and you ruined it, you bitch" her ears flattened against her head, "hold it red I was helping you out, you know Macavity wants her first when she comes back, he'd have you skinned if he found out you fucked her first" deme cringed "do you have to be so crass griddlebone", "maybe/maybe not, it's fun anyway" she laughed, bomba turned to deme "okay baby we're gonna go back and make sure everything's ready, you go back to the junkyard, the ball is about to get really exciting" bomba went to turn away but was stopped by deme, "wait!, why can't you take me home now, it's the perfect opportunity, no ones around" "wish i could deme but you know Mac, always with the big entrances" she kissed the golden tabby on the cheek and ran off with griddlebone into the night.

Back at the ball, Demeter had stayed in one of the drain pipes, out of the way, she was bored out of her mind, last year was better, she had bomba by her side, both of them dancing, singing together, just then she thought back to a few hours before in the forest, the way she tackled bomb to the ground, the glow of the moon shining on her face and red fur, the way her smooth tail wrapped around her body, the softness of her neck, 'oh god, do I like bomba, well you did straddle her and start licking her neck, yeah I think you do like her' her arguing thoughts had given her a sore head. The ball had nearly finished, soon someone would be picked for the sweet release of death, deme wished at that moment it was her, why hadn't anyone got her yet, she should've just followed the queens through the forest, screw what Macavity wanted she would've made it up to him. Suddenly her ears pricked up and nostrils flared, "there here" she relieved.

"Hello Jellicles, sorry to interrupt, but boy do I have a surprise for you" it was bomba standing atop the big tyre, she stood tall and proud with a bottle in her paw, "you see, most of you will remember me from last year, especially you, pouncival" she drew out his name and winked at him, the poor Tom blushed hard, clearly remembering the time they mated, "anyway! I thought this year we'd have some real fun" she jumped down from the tyre and all the cats scattered "what do you want bombalurina" Munkustrap had pushed himself to the front and dotted a protective stance around his tribe, bomba walked up to him "well my dear Munkus, Macavity wants to talk to you and tiger over there-" "it's Tugger!", "oh be quiet you overgrown fur-ball!" Seeing that she made Tugger blush she turned back around and faced the seething grey tabby staring at her, " so I'm just here to lighten the mood and maybe cause some mischief, if you'll allow it of course, we've got about 10/15 minutes before Mac turns up to take his favourite cats away for a chat" bomba opened her paw and blew catnip into munkustraps face "enjoy munks you could definitely loosen up a little bit" bomba turned and noticed deme in the drain pipe and winked at her, sending shivers down demes spine, "Jerrie!, Teazer! Let's go!", all the cats looked up at the smiling twins while they poured catnip out of bottles, the catnip spread it's way around the cats and kittens alike, slowly, each of them began to feel the affects, their eyes got wider, they started twitching and a few started rubbing up against each other, bomba laughed, "now this is more like it!" She strutted over to Demeter who watched in amusement as the cats became entranced. "My sweet golden queen" bomb bowed in front of deme and kissed her paw, "would you sing with me?", "of course my red queen" they smiled, and walked to the middle of the junkyard, deme started, "macavitys a mystery cat, he's called the hidden paw.." bomba lay on the tyre and watched with wide eyes as the rest of the cats watched in surprise at the golden queen, "for hes the master criminal who can defy the law, he's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the flying squads despair, for when they reach the scene of crime, macavitys not there", Demeter was truly shining tonight, her dance was sensual, her movements fluid and her voice heavenly, bomba took her cue, "macavitys a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin, you would know him if you saw him, for his eyes are sunken in" the queens continued singing and dancing, the cats around them struggling the urge to dance along, while others struggled to move, "...are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time, just controls the operation..." "THE NAPOLEON OF CRIME!", both queens sunk to the ground when they heard Macavity behind them, "thank you my gorgeous red queen, you've done perfectly, and you" he points at Demeter "my golden tabby are coming with us!" Bomb grabbed hold of Demeter and whispered in her ear "scream for help Demi, make it believable", she nodded "Munk help!, get off me you bitch", she struggled against the red queen and scratched her face accidentally, "oh god bomba I'm so sorry" deme whispered, she ignored her and yanked her out of the junkyard. Macavity jumped down and walked up to Munk, who was still on the ground looking at where deme had disappeared, tears filling his eyes, "my dear brother, looks like your having a bit of bad luck recently, don't you worry your queen will be taken care of very well", he smiled at Munk, who finally succumbed to the catnip and fainted.
