Thanks for reviewing, much appreciated, well yeah ….WARNING: SLASH

"Misto" I glanced up, Tugger was there, despondency entwined in his features.

"What's up Tug?"

"Well , I asked all the queens , and they all said yes…but then they asked who the date was with , and when I said it was with you…well…erm…they laughed at me."

"Oh"

"But listen Misty, it's not all bad news, cause now you het to go on a date with yours truly."

"Oh Great." I sighed.

"So what do you wanna do?"

"Nothing" I rolled over and buried my face in the dog bed I was sleeping on.

Tugger flopped down next to me, pushing his body against mine, he tickled my sides gently, making me flinch inwards, backing up against him.

"Tugger…Don't…"

"I won't hurt you, kid."

"MISTO!"

I opened my eyes, Electra was barely inches away form my face, I jolted forwards, headbutting her, which in turn sent her flying, promptly landing on her behind.

"Misto, Tugger's found you a queen."

"Oh great"

Tugger barged into my den, a proud grin on his face.

"Guess who you're going on a date with Misty?"

"Who"

"Bombalurina!"

"Bombalurina?!"

"Yes, Bomba"

"But how…It's ….How?"

"Listen, the Tugger has his methods of persuasion that you don't need to know about, okay?"

"Yes Tug"

So later that night, half way through my terribly un-productive date with the scarlet queen, something caught my eye, I couldn't help but let my mouth drop open.

"What's wrong Quaxo?" Bomba followed my gaze, and she began to giggle.

Tugger. Alonzo. Kissing.

I looked at the queen beside me.

"But…I thought that Lonz and Cass were mates."

"They are"

"Well then why…"

"C'mon" she cut in "Lonzo aint exactly the most faithful of toms, Munk's gonna be so pissed, Lonz was meant to be on 'Macavity Watch'"

"But, Lonz …and Tugger???"

"Enough about Alonzo and Tugger, what about you and Tugger, there's so much sexual tension between you two."

I felt my cheeks flush crimson "I don't know what you mean"

"Don't lie to me Quaxo, You can tell me anything, I'll keep it secret, you know I will, you used to tell me everything when you were a kitten."

That was true, when my mother had first taken me to the junkyard, when Tugger and Bomby were verging their teen years, I had taken to Bombalurina, but we had grown apart when Bomba became interested in toms.

"Quaxo, do you like Tugger?"

I nodded.

"It's nothing to be ashamed about" she said affecting the tone she used when I was young.

"What's the point" I sighed "Tugger doesn't swing that way"

She gestured towards Tugger and Alonzo "Don't sell yourself short Quaxo…no offense." She ruffled my head fur. "I've got some business to attend to with Tugger, I'll be right back." She walked off towards Tugger.

One good thing about being so small was that it's easy to hide; I followed Bombalurina, hiding behind some random junk.

"Have you got it?"

"Did you go on the date?"

"Yes"

"Did you sleep with him?"

"No!"

"Then you can't have it!"

"Tug, that wasn't part of our deal, you said go on a date with him, and you can have it!"

"If you haven't mated with him, you can't have the catnip, seeing as you only half completed the job how about a date with me, tomorrow night."

"Okay" she walked off as I emerged from my hiding place.

"CATNIP! Is that the only way you can get a queen to go out with me."

"Listen Misto, you wasn't supposed to hear that, I thought you would prefer to go on a date if I paid someone, than hear that no-one wants to go on a date with you, I tried everyone Misto, I really did but they all said no, I was trying to do that thing that Munk always tells me to be more….erm….that word…."

"Considerate"

"Yeah that's it, I was trying to be considerate, I didn't want to upset you, im sorry, listen Aviva isn't that bad, you'll be fine with her."

He walked away, a kitten like look of culpability on his face. I didn't like it , not at all , Tugger wasn't supposed to be like this , he was cocky, selfish , no-one upset the Tugger, he wasn't supposed to be like this. Guilt was welling in the bottom of my stomach. Tugger had no emotions , he just flirted shamelessly , but at that moment all of those thoughts were swiped from my mind as a looked at him ,all forlorn , he really was upset at even the suggestion of upsetting me , well maybe it was only in a friendly manner , but it was my one glimmering hope , my proof that the heartless Rum Tum Tugger cared about me , okay maybe only a little bit , but he still cared about me , for me even.

"Tug wait"

He span around.

"Its okay, I appreciate the effort …Thanks Tugger"

"Great…I mean Yeah, you're welcome Misty, I promise you, and I will get you a date"

He said, regain his over-confident charm."

"Its Okay Tugger."

"Misty…I'll make it up to you"
