Her eyes fluted open, as she looked around dizzily,
"W-w-where am I?" She studded finally coming to focus. Suddenly she flashed back on what happened. A thief had snuck up on Puss, then she knocked him out of the way, then darkness. She felt the back of her head with her paw.
"Ouch!" Kitty muttered. She got to her feet (paws) but fell back dizzy, almost instantly, reluctant to give up she stumbled to her feet again, this time she didn't fall back. She looked around the room, her eyes caught a window. Slowly she staggered up to it and looked out. Flashes of colour exploded in the sky. Fireworks. She watched in awe as they lit up the dark sky. Then she heard something. Music, and laughter. She looked to the ground and saw people cheering and laughing as they danced in the lit-up town centre. She decided to go and have a closer look and walked down to the streets.
"A festival?" She wondered to herself.
Puss had just finished dancing with Dulcinea when he spotted Kitty.
"Wow! That was fun!" Laughed Dulcinea,
"I'm going to go sit down for a while!" She said, a little puffed from dancing for so long, Puss nodded and walked around.
Kitty walked along the streets full of life, and looked around, everyone cheering and dancing, hanging candles lit up the streets. As she looked around, open mouthed in admiration, a sudden voice startled her.
"Kitty?" Puss asked, Kitty froze, then recognising the voice she turned and smiled shyly at him.
"Kitty! Your awake!" Puss laughed and ran up to her and gave her a hug,
"Wait! how long was I out?" She asked,
"A few days… You had me worried!" He sighed,
"Aww so you do care!" Kitty teased,
"Of course!" He smiled,
"Ha! You owe me one!" Kitty challenged,
"Please! I brought you back! If it wasn't for me you would still be in that cave, probably held captive by thieves!" Puss defended, Kitty shook her head and giggled,
"The thieves! Did we end up stopping them?" Kitty asked,
"Yep! After that kick in the head Dulcinea gave their leader! I don't think they'll be back any time soon!" Puss cheered. Kitty smiled. A sudden cheer from the crowd snapped them out of their thoughts, as the band played a popular song, everyone took a partner and ran to the dance floor. Puss looked around then smiled at Kitty,
"You?" Puss flirted,
"Me?" Kitty answer playfully, Puss grabbed Kitty's paw and spun her around and onto the dance floor.
"So," Kitty said as she danced with Puss,
"Do you always have these festivals?" She asked,
"Every now and then for special occasions," Puss laughed as the two danced together, unaware of Dulcinea watching in the distance.
'She is dancing with MY boyfriend? Has Puss forgotten who he is dating!' Thought Dulcinea jealously. She frowned and folded her arms. She took a deep breath in, then out. She didn't want the jealously to get the better off her.
'I could just go up to them!' She thought,
'But Puss seems to be having fun! He did say they were just friends! But they look close!' Dulcinea thought as she watched Puss and Kitty dance, Puss lifted Kitty and spun her around at the ending beat of the music. Puss then dipped her, she smiled and looked into his eyes. Puss smiled gently and looked into her deep blue eyes. Dulcinea started to bite her claws watching Puss dip Kitty, A cold breeze rushed through her fur, and a piece of paper blew over to her.
"Wha-" She muted picking up the piece of paper.
"Kitty Softpaws wanted dead or alive for robbery and-" Dulcinea read out loud, not realising how loud she was till the whole crowd gasped cutting her off.
"Uh oh," Kitty wisped, and she and Puss looked at each over anxiously.
"There she is!" One shouted,
"Uck! A thief?" Another spat,
"Get out! Get out! We don't want you here! You… you… evil robber!" Shouted the towns people circling her, Puss held out a paw in front of her in defence
"Please, Kitty is not a thief, she will not rob you!" Puss defended her,
"Ha!" A person laughed dryly,
"Ahh!" Kitty shouted as the angry people grabbed her, pushing Puss away, suddenly she was picked up. The town people carried Kitty to the exit of the town, Dulcinea stood there shocked,
'Oh my' she wisped under her breath. BANG! The deafening sound rang out, and everyone froze.
"Puss in Boots! I have returned!" A voice thundered out, Puss clutched his sword and watched the figure come out of the shadows.
"It is I! El Moco!" El Moco called out, the town people screamed and dropped Kitty, and ran inside their homes. Dulcinea and Senora Zapata guided the orphans inside the orphanage.
"I heard what you did to my thieves!" He continued, Puss at this stage had his sword out and pointing in his direction.
"We've come back for revenge!" El Moco said vengefully,
"You and what army?" Puss laughed, El Moco grinned evilly and a large group of thieves came and circled Puss.
"Oh… that army," Puss sighed. At that point Dulcinea had come back out of the orphanage and gasped at the site, Kitty held out her dagger,
"Please," Dulcinea hissed at Kitty, she rolled her eyes and extended her dagger to a sword leaving Dulcinea a little dumb struck,
"Th-tha-that'll work!" Dulcinea studded, Kitty smiled, and both ran to save Puss. Though all three fought skilfully, they were vastly outnumbered.
"Enough is enough!" Shouted El Moco impatiently and snapped his fingers. Three thieves appeared holding an empty potato sack and moved towards the unexpecting cats. One thief snuck up on Puss and caught him in spilt of a second, the over two moved towards Kitty and Dulcinea.
"What th-" Dulcinea said before she was cut of by darkness, that last thing she heard was a shout then an evil laugh.
