Munkustrap quirked his mouth and pouted, "Fine. Bye then!"
He left as Misto sat down wearily and sighed, "I don't get it. I go on a date with a queen that I've never met before and have the time of my life. Then I find out that the queen I dated is actually you."
"Well that's life, isn't it?" Tugger said with a nervous laugh. Where was he going with this?
"This is really ridiculous, Tugger. Are you trying to make me feel bad?" The magical tom looked up with a slightly angry expression on his face.
Tugger's mouth opened in surprise and he sputtered, "W-why the heck would you think that?"
"Are you trying to prove that no one would ever want to go out with me? Are you trying to prove what a loser I am?" Misto stood up and shouted at Tugger. After a moment of stunned silence, he continued, "Well congratulations, Tugger. You've completed your mission. I hope you have a good life with those queens."
A flurry of black and white indicated that the mystical tom had left quickly. The Rum Tum Tugger was still so shocked at what had been said. Then his words slipped out of his mouth, but it was too late.
"That's not what I wanted…"
Tugger walked down the alleys with a solemn atmosphere surrounding him. His melancholy look confused all the queens and a greater number of toms. No one really understood him, not even Misto.
"Tom troubles?"
The Maine Coon looked up in surprise and was only mildly surprised to see Munkustrap standing there with a smug smirk.
"What would you know?" Tugger scoffed and kicked at a pebble on the gravel.
Munkustrap giggled, "I know more than you know about it."
"Yeah? Well riddle me this", Tugger snarled, "Why is it that everyone always misinterprets my actions?"
"Brother", Munku sighed, "They don't misinterpret, you just don't realize the importance of your own actions."
Slowly, Tugger began to understand and an idea formed in his head.
"Oh no", Munkustrap smacked himself, "Please not another one of your "ideas"."
But his plea fell on deaf ears, for Tugger was already hurrying away towards a certain tuxedo tom's den.
"Misto!"
Mistoffelees had been resting comfortably in the peace of his own cozy den, but that illusion was shattered as a familiar voice disrupted the calm.
"Misto!"
"What is it, Tugger? If this is- oof!" The tuxedo tom swept a curtain aside and was instantly knocked off his feet and onto the ground.
"Oh Everlasting Cat, are you okay?" Tugger peered down at him and carefully dragged the reluctant tom back to his own feet.
Misto looked away with a hint of resentment, "Yeah, whatever."
"Look, I didn't dress up as a queen and go on a date with you just to make fun of you or anything", the Maine Coon held out his paws.
"Really?" Misto's sarcasm was duly noted by Tugger.
"I did it because I thought you needed to loosen up a bit and I didn't think you'd go with me if I just asked", Tugger sighed and ran his claws through his mane, "So I dressed up as a queen."
"No, Tugger, you were bored and you wanted some fun. I just happened to be a target", Misto yelled and shoved Tugger back a few steps.
"Why would you think that?!"
The magical tom looked Tugger straight in the eyes and said, "Because you never think about anyone but yourself!"
Tugger's mouth hang open and he looked like a gaping fish. Misto let it sink in a little before continuing with, "Don't try and deny it, because we both know it's true."
The handsome, tall tom snapped out of it, remembering the reason why he had came, "No, Misto, you have it all wrong. I did it because I wanted you to be happy!"
"You wanted me to be happy…" Misto repeated his words with disbelief.
"I never thought it would turn out this bad, but you're right. While I thought the plan up, I wasn't totally thinking about helping you", Tugger admitted softly.
"Then why?"
"I did it because I care about you and I really like you, Misto. And I want you to like me back." There it was out in the open. Words cannot be taken back.
"And I'm so sorry."
Tugger turned away and began to walk out of the den, but Misto stopped him.
"I thought that the Rum Tum Tugger never says sorry", a hint of playfulness edged at Misto's tone. Tugger turned towards him and was surprised to see a true smile on the other tom's face.
"I don't know what you're talking about", Tugger raised his eyebrow with a small smile.
"Well I guess I'll believe you this one time", Misto sighed. "So what now?"
Tugger scratched his head for awhile before sheepishly answering, "Erm, I didn't really plan this far."
Misto rolled his eyes and laughed. Typical Tugger.
"But I promise that I won't make you feel like crap ever again."
The magical tom raised both eyebrows and laughed, "You must be Moose, because Tugger never makes promises."
Tugger smiled and suddenly pulled Misto into a tight hug. He whispered into his ear, "Well, we'll see about that."
"I haven't seen Tugger today", Etcetera commented dryly, for a group of queens had spotted him somewhere, but now the elusive heartthrob was nowhere to be found.
"Come off it, Etcetera", Electra laughed, "He'll show up. He always does."
"Speak of the devil", Demeter sighed as Tugger came sauntering towards them. Etcetera immediately began her trademark squealing.
Tugger gave them a slow smile and said, "Hey guys."
"Go stuff your face", Demeter grumbled and left the area in a fury.
"What up with her?"
Electra mewed softly and pawed at Tugger's leg, "It doesn't matter, Tugger!"
"Settle down", he laughed softly, "I just want you guys to know that I'm no longer single and so, this just doesn't work out anymore."
Etcetera screamed, and if the whole Junkyard hadn't heard, they would still know that Tugger had said something impossible.
"Who are you?!"
Tugger looked around in confusion, "Um, I'm Tugger."
"But Tugger is always single!!!"
"Well, no longer…"
Electra clung to him tighter and hissed, "Who is it? Is it Bombalurina? Or Cassandra? Or-"
"It's not either one of them", Tugger whispered suddenly realizing what was happening.
Pouncival jumped down and shouted, "Everyone! Tugger is no longer single!"
The Junkyard went quiet…
…and then things got hectic.
"What?!?!?!"
"Nooooo!!!!"
"How can this be? Tugger, how can-"
"You can't, Tugger!!! You just can't!!!"
Tugger looked around and tentatively covered his ears with his paws.
Erm, review? Hopefully...Thanks for reading and hope you come back for more?
