A few days had past. Kitty and Puss had been meeting up a lot, Dulcinea felt like they were getting closer, but didn't know if it was just her being jealous. She watched Kitty and Puss talk from her window, scratching at the old paint with her claws as she rested her arms on the window seal, as soon as Kitty waved good bye Dulcinea rushed down the stairs to Puss.
"Hi Puss!" Dulcinea blurted,
"Hello Dulcinea, how can I help you?" Puss laughed,
"Well I was just wondering… since you and Kitty have been hanging around a lot, we haven't got to hang out much… together!" She said,
"And I wanted to know if… you wanted to come to the lake with me? Like we use to do!" Dulcinea pleaded,
"Oh… today?" He asked, Dulcinea nodded,
"Well… I um… I was going to go for a walk in the wood with… Kitty," He said a little nervous,
"Oh…" Dulcinea mumbled,
"But!" Puss said, hating to see Dulcinea upset,
"There isn't anything planned for tomorrow!" Puss smiled, Dulcinea looked up and smiled slightly.
"So… who is Kitty staying with again?" Dulcinea asked, still a little sad.
"She said… her uncle," Puss replied,
"To be honest, I didn't even know she had an uncle!" Puss said,
"I wonder if we know him?" Dulcinea said, half to herself,
"You might, but then again you might not!" Kitty said from behind Dulcinea, which made her jump.
"Kitty!" Dulcinea gasped,
"Ah Kitty… we were just talking about you," Puss said,
"I heard, I also heard that you are missing your money!" Kitty teased, holding up his money,
"How did you?" Puss said, looking in his boots before snatching his money back.
"Are you here to go with Puss?" Dulcinea asked,
"Well Puss asked if I wanted to be shown around, since I've never actually been here, I thought it would be great! So yes," Kitty said,
"You haven't?" Dulcinea retorted,
"I though you would be here quite often! since you UNCLE is here?" Dulcinea continued,
"Well I didn't even really know about my uncle! Till a few weeks ago, when I met him!" Kitty snapped back, Kitty didn't even think she had any family members, especially since she had grown up as a stray.
"You'll have to show me him day!" Said Puss positively,
"Shall we be off?" Puss asked,
"Ok," Kitty smiled. Dulcinea watch Puss leave with that Kitty Softpaws, Puss turned and waved from the distance, she looked up and waved back as she smiled slightly.
"And so, San Lorenzo is a magical city protected, well was protected by a magical spell till… ah… a cat came a long and broke the spell, so he then vowed to protect the city till the spell is restored," Puss said,
"So that's why you never came back?" Kitty asked,
"Well yes," Puss answered,
"Huh… so… when did you and Dulcinea… become a 'couple'?" Kitty queried,
"About a month and a half ago… I took me a while to gain my courage to ask her out!" Puss laughed, Kitty gave a small smile, she was a little saddened when she found out Puss was with another, she still liked him. A sudden evil laugh interrupted Kitty's thought,
"What was-" Kitty asked before she as cut off by Puss,
"Quick let's find out!" Puss said motioned Kitty to follow him, as they looked through an entrance to cave, they saw a gang of thieves laughing as they held out large bags off money they had stolen.
"And tomorrow we rob San Lorenzo! The so-called hidden city which has a treasure house just full of riches!" Crackled the thieves leader.
"You have a treasure house in San Lorenzo?" Kitty wisped to Puss,
"Um… Yes," Puss said, a little unsure is he should tell Kitty,
"Quick we should head back so we can stop them before they come to San Lorenzo!" Puss said before heading back with Kitty
"I just don't know what to do!" Exclaimed Dulcinea
"I feel like he's starting to like her!" She cried
"What if he… he… he leaves me for her!" Dulcinea blurted,
"Look, if he really loves you, he won't fall for another… if he does… he doesn't deserve you!" soothed Pajuna, Dulcinea looked up and nodded.
"Hey Pajuna, have you seen- Dulcinea that's where you are!" Puss exclaimed just coming bursting through the door,
"Yes Puss?" Dulcinea quivered a little nervous,
"I need your help for a mission!" He asked,
"Of course!" She smiled,
"Great! Now let's go!" Puss cheered, and headed to the stables, in the distance Dulcinea saw Kitty waiting. She made a quick glance at Puss,
"Oh… I thought we could need a bit of extra help!" He smiled,
"Oh… ok…" frowned Dulcinea, normally she and Puss could handle missions on their own, since Puss had trained her to fight, she often helped Puss, why did she need to come along? Puss walked close to Dulcinea and held her paw, she smiled back, Kitty looked at the ground, feeling a little sad.
"Now come! We must stop the thieves before they reach San Lorenzo! They nodded before riding off on the horses.
Kitty, Puss and Dulcinea had them all surrounded as the thieves dropped their weapons.
Puss walked over to them,
"If any of you set a foot in San Lorenzo again, I'll-" Puss threatened, but was cut of suddenly by a shout from Kitty, Dulcinea was busy glaring at Kitty and hadn't noticed the thieves leader sneak up on Puss, but Kitty did.
"Puss! Look out!" She shouted cutting Puss off. Puss turned too slow and as the thief leader landed his blow, Kitty knocked him out of the way, the thief was too fast for Kitty to turn and block his blow instead herself took a blow to the head,
"Kitty!" Puss shouted, and caught her unconscious body as it fell, Dulcinea quickly ran over, as the thieves leader was distracted watching Puss, Dulcinea could kick the thieves leader in the back of the head knocking him out. Dulcinea upon seeing Kitty unconscious felt a little happy, but also sphenic for her, as normally being a caring person.
"Is… is she ok?" Dulcinea asked,
"She-she took a hit! … for me?" Puss stammered,
'Does she still like me?' Puss thought to himself,
"Come," Puss said looking up at Dulcinea,
"We should head back now!" Puss said, and carefully carried Kitty in his arms.
