ENJOY!

Munkustrap rolled his eyes and groaned. Alonzo just wanted to punch Tugger's face in. They both clenched their jaws as they watched over the junkyard, only hearing Tugger's pitiful moaning.

"What if they become mates? Who will I flirt with? Who will worship and adore me?" Tugger was lying on his back upon an old stove top, paw draped dramatically over his muzzle in defeat. Alonzo made a half hearted wish for the stove to ignite and his brother's precious mane combust into flames. A childish smirk twitched at his whiskers, a mental image of Tugger; mane singed as badly as his pride right now.

Tugger heard his brother snicker, making him throw his paw off his snout and sit up to glare at his sibling.

"What? You think this is funny?" He spat, eyes narrowing threateningly. Alonzo felt tears spring to his eyes as he tried to stifle the laughter of Tugger glaring at him…but with a singed mane and covered with burnt tuffs of fur littering his body. Tugger immediately bounded up to his brother, face inches from Alonzo and he snorted a burst of air into his face. The shock shut Alonzo up.

"Stop it you two you're acting like bloody kittens." Munku's voice cut through the air strictly. He was never one for patience, and Tugger's ego was big enough to suffocate any one t the point of insanity.

"Are not." Tugger threw back to Munkustrap, knowing it ticked him off when he mocked him like that. Munku felt himself loose control and spin around to yell harshly at Tugger.

"Tugger, Bombalurina doesn't like you. Hell, I bet she hates you. So unless you're gonna' get off of your sorry ass and do something for yourself then you can shut the heavy side up." Munkustrap had finally cracked under the strain of his brother's sheer stupidity. It had been 48 hours of 'Poor Tugger' which is the least fun game ever invented.

Who invented that game anyways?
Oh right. Tugger did.

He should be shot for that.

•••••••

Tugger had stalked off to his den in anger. Munkustrap had gotten on his high and mighty horse. As usual. He thinks he just as good as father. But when Old Deuteronomy leaves for the heavy side one day, he forgets I'M older and I'll come first. Tugger grinned almost crazily at all the possible punishments he could do if he was inherited the charge of the tribe. But revenge took a backseat in his mind when Bombalurina's face popped around a corner. Why did he feel all nervous all of a sudden? What was that weird flip in his stomach? Why did he feel the need to show off ? (A/N: When does he not?)

"Hey Bombalurina…" He mustered the most alluring voice possible, making her turn his way.

"Oh, hey Tugger." Just Hey Tugger? The main coon thought incredulously. He stepped towards her, slightly blocking her path,

"So, where are you off too kitten?" He sugar coated his words, trying desperately to hide the desperation in his voice. Bombs sighed.

"To see Rumpleteazer…"

That's obviously code for Mongrel-jerrie. Tugger felt a mental leash choke back his thoughts from escaping out his mouth. Bombalurina gave him an odd look.

"Tugger?" He stared at her face, half feeling the need to make her say it again. His name sounded so much better coming from her.

"So…anyone else going to be there?" He lightly brushed the bristles of his fur against hers, making her turn away. He was probing for information, but he covered it so his statement just sounded like he was looking for a flirt with someone.

"No." Liar.

"Oh really?"

"Yes. Really." Bombs replied, perturbed. Tugger felt himself scrunch his nose. Was she that annoyed with his presence?

•••••••

"Bombalurina!" Mungojerrie finally spotted her with Tugger. They both looked his way Bombs sweet smile made him melt, but Tugger's almost dark look made him want to…
Run.
Run really, really fast.
Against better judgment, he bounced forth to meet them both. Bombalurina was wearing her reassuring half smile, but Mungojerrie found himself cower from Tugger's dominating form. He looked a lot scary then he did the other day. His chest seemed more pushed out and robust, and that look on his face didn't help.

"Hi Tugger," Mungojerrie squeaked. Tugger wore an intimidating glare at the calico.

"Mungojerrie." Tugger answered roughly. Mongrel-jerrie.

Bombalurina felt the tension in the air; or maybe it was the fact she was standing with both of the Toms she secretly adored. More like Tugger. She quickly hogtied that evil thought and threw it into a black abyss in her mind. The thought threatened it would be back later in a terminator-type voice. She was momentarily, mildly disturbed.

"So, I'm off to see Rumple, I guess I'll see both of you…later…" Bombalurina made a quick exit, hoping that seeing Tugger again would be a lot later. She couldn't face him, not while she had these torn up feelings inside.

Meanwhile, the evil thought was clawing at the cliff face of the abyss. It glared at Bombalurina. It would indeed, be back.

Tugger instantly swung to glower Mongrel-jerrie down. Oblivious, Mungojerrie backed away, ears flattened and big kitten eyes wide in fright. He chuckled nervously.

"Hi, um, Tugger. My closest-" Tugger took a step towards him at this, making Mungojerrie gulp and retreat back," –bestest buddy." He finished jumpily, looking around himself in panic.

"Mongrel-jerrie."
"Did you just say…" Mungojerrie jumped as Tugger bared his teeth, "I'M SURE YOU MEANT MUNGOJERRIE!" Tugger's ears flickered at this, leering down at Mungojerrie, making the tortoiseshell slinking himself towards the ground.

"You've screwed everything up Jerrie." Tugger stated vaguely, holding a firm but menacing tone. Jerrie almost yelped aloud.

"I'm sure, that what-whatever it was I d-d-d-didn't mean-" Mungojerrie cursed his nervous stutter. At least when he stuttered with Bombalurina, she didn't look like she was going to kill him. Tugger growled sharply, baring teeth again.

"Oh but you did…" Tugger angled his face so their noses were almost touching. His brow curbed in anger, her quickly flinched towards Jerrie, making the smaller stuttering feline roll backwards in terror, both paws covering his face. Tugger clamped a paw around Mungojerrie's tail and swiftly pulled it, dragging the petrified calico whimper.

"Fix it." Tugger ordered his fellow jellicle before meandering off out of sight. Jerrie exhaled the breath he was holding in.

"Fix what?" He asked to no one in particular.

•••••••

"TUGGER!" The kittens (Excluding Pouncival who just groaned at the sight of Tugger and had run off somewhere.) screeched as he sauntered into the yard. They all ran towards him, nearly sobbing with happiness. Tugger smiled at them fakely, almost pitying their adoring sighs. He watched as they giggled among themselves for a few minutes, until he started towards the TSE1 in search of Jennyanydots.

Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen of the junk.

The Rum Tum Tugger was going to ask for advice.
