Stupid school! Takes up my valueable fan fiction writing time. Well here's the next installment. Also look for a fan fiction this week. Oh, that reminds me! I'm taking the play of Midsummer and placing it in Japanese time for Anime Club! We'll get to wear kimonoes!
-Quidam
"It's not fair!" Electra wailed, sobbing into Bombalurina's chest. "It's just----not fair!"
Bombalurina sighed, giving Demeter a look while holding onto the young queen. Etcetera stared at her friend sadly, wishing she could make everything better but she knew she could not mend a broken heart. Electra's cries could be heard throughout the junkyard but she didn't care. Her heart was in a million pieces, shattered by the one she loved.
"Oh Leccy," Etcetera rubbed her head against her friends back. "I'm so sorry."
"It's alright," Bombalurina said softly, rubbing the poor kit's back. "It's okay Electra, he'll turn around. He's a tom cat and they sometimes say stupid things."
"She's right," Demeter placed a paw on Electra's back. "Besides, he's still young. I'm sure he didn't mean half of things he said."
"Yes he did! He hates me!" The small queen managed to say, her face still in Bombalurina's chest.
"No, he doesn't. Trust me, he's just going through that stage all toms go through. Tugger went through it as well." The red queen then considered her remark, not knowing if that would cheer Electra up.
"You really shouldn't let this upset you so much dear," Demeter kept on rubbing the small kit's back. "There are other fish in the sea."
"But they're not Tumblebrutus!" Electra whined. "Ever since he let me lay with him on that stormy night, I thought he cared for me!"
Bombalurina just sighed, letting the heart broken Electra cry into her.
As the three queens tried to console their friend, Pouncival stayed hidden behind a huge pile of junk where he stared his beloved Electra. Her crying was taking away at his soul. Pouncival wished her eyes wouldn't be over flowing with tears for such a vile being. How he wished he could comfort her and make all of her fears go away. He longed for her to stun him with her amazing smile. Her eyes shined so brightly as if they were the most unbelievable treasure ever found! Oh how his poor heart, struck by Cupid's golden arrow, longed for his beloved Electra!
"What fiend has made my dearest wail like a dying siren in the sea of agony?" He asked himself. "When I find this horrid fellow, he will taste my wrath!" His eyes softened as he gazed upon his new infatuation. "Oh sweet Electra, do not wet your eyes with such tears! Crying does not suit such an angel like yourself!"
Bombalurina and Demeter had left, leaving Etcetera alone with Electra. She was still crying but it was now just a small, pathetic whimper. Etcetera ran her paws through her friend's orange-black fur, rubbing her head against Electra's. Pouncival, seizing the moment, rustled up all his courage before he boldly stepped out from his hiding place.
Etcetera spotted him first. She growled, her face turning into a scowl. "What do you want?"
"I've merely come to try and calm Miss Electra." Pouncival said.
Electra looked up, her face wet. Pouncival blushed at the sight of her face. She pouted and hid her face back in Etcetera's fur.
"What do you want?" Etcetera sneered.
"I merely came to see Electra." Pouncival answered in a gentlemen like manner that didn't suite him.
"She doesn't want to see you. Leave her alone."
"But I can't leave her alone!" Pouncival lamented. "How can I when I love her so? Her image occupies my thoughts, causing me to think of nothing else but her!"
"What are you talking about?" Etcetera asked. Electra looked up, her eyes giving Pouncival a strange stare.
"Are you going to make me say it? Fine, I'll say! Nay, I'll proclaim it! Even better, I will scream to the heavens until I'm red the face!" The young tom inhaled deeply. "I'M IN LOVE WITH ELECTRA!"
This caused both queens to stare at him, shocked and at a loss for words. He stood their, his face wearing a grin from ear to ear.
"Pounce, that isn't funny!" Electra said, sniffing. Pouncival's smile disappeared. "Now leave me alone!"
"But----"
"You're not funny Pounce! Can't you see I'm upset?"
"Yes, I can plainly see that."
"Then why are you here? Go and leave us alone!" Ordered Etcetera.
"But I can't! My heart won't leave me alone! It screams for you my sweet!"
"Oh knock it off!" Electra snapped bitterly. "Did Tumblebrutus dare you to say all this?"
"What? Why do you mock me?" He asked, seeming extremely offended and hurt that she would think such a thing. "I would never do such a thing in my life!"
"Shut up Pouncival and go away!" Electra barked as she began to leave, Etcetera behind her.
"Wait, don't leave! You're my reason for living!" Pouncival begged, getting down on his knees. "You're stunning, dazzling, fantastic, striking, electrifying!"
"I'm what?" Electra stopped.
"Electrifying! You bring a shock to my poor, cold heart!" Pouncival sighed, holding his paws on his chest.
"Okay, now you're really starting to annoy me." Electra turned to leave again.
"But you are electrifying! You bright up the darkest days with your smile! Oh, please don't leave me!"
"I'm leaving." Electra said, her friend close behind.
"Then I, must follow you."
"Etcetera, run."
"Wait!" Pouncival sprinted after them.
The two queens ran ahead at full speed, Pouncival desperately trying to catch up. Electra looked behind them, Pouncival getting closer. She gave a small scared scream as he tried to grab at her. She dodged him, still managing a fast, steady dash. As they turned a corner, the jumped behind an old dresser. They covered one another's mouth, shushing each other in sync. Pouncival came into the clearing and upon not seeing his true love, he began to call her name.
"Electra? Sweet, beloved, brilliant Electra? Where are you my fondest?" He called, making Electra want to gag. He scanned the yard for a sign of her but sighed with sadness when he couldn't locate his love. "There is no place you hide where I will not find you!"
Pouncival ran off in the opposite direction of the hidden kittens. Once he was gone, they both heaved a sigh of relief. The peeked out over the corner, making sure he was gone.
"He's gone!" Electra sighed again.
"Lets find a better hiding place before he comes back." Etcetera suggested. Her friend nodded and the two of them snuck away.
"What a nice day!" Munkustrap inhaled deeply. He stretched out, laying down on the front of the old TSE 1. "Ah, it's so peaceful today."
"Which means something is wrong." Alonzo answered, his eyes shut.
"Shut up. You'll jinx us." The tabby yawned, his eyes staring into the clear blue sky. There wasn't a single cloud, just a clear baby-blue sky. He gave another sigh as he basked in the sun.
"You have to admit thought, it's been awful quiet even though I thought I heard something earlier." The black and white striped tom stretched, clawing the metal.
Munkustrap murmured, turning on his side. He gave another sleepy yawn as he closed his eyes, settling down for a catnap.
"MUNKUSTRAP!" Munkustrap jumped up, rolling off the car. Alonzo shot up, nearly falling as well. Tumblebrutus was running towards with great speed. "Munk, Munk, Munk! Mungojerrie's mad! Real mad! He's gonna kill him! Do something! He'll die, he'll die, he'll die!"
"Whoa, whoa!" Alonzo slipped off the boot of the car. He went over to Tumble, placing his paws on his friend's shoulders. "Calm down! Stop and breath."
Tumblebrutus obeyed, taking in deep breaths of air. When he was finished, he began again, "Mungojerrie has gone crazy! He's trying to kill Mistoffelees!"
"Tumble, I think you're imagining things," Munkustrap cracked his back. "I'm sure Mungo is merely-----"
"No! It's true! You see, Rumpelteazer was acting all weird towards Mistoffelees and Mungojerrie was going to tell her something but then he got all mad when Rumpel started paying attention to Misto anand Mungo's gonna kill him!"
"He is?" Munkustrap raised an eyebrow Tumblebrutus who was nodding frantically. "Okay, take us to where they are. We'll settle this."
"Ouch, my head."
Skimbleshanks opened his eyes, his vision blurred. He sat up, holding his head as it began to throb. He shook off the dizzy feeling so he could get his bearings. He was sitting on a blanket of red silk with red petals scattered everywhere. Over in the corner was a tall red candle that was lit, giving off the scent of strawberries and cream. Confused, wondering where all these red items came from, he continued to look around the den. He saw he was inside Cassandra's washer with the entrance being blocked up a rather large crate.
Cassandra's den?
"JENNY!" He said suddenly, remembering everything that had happened. "I've got to get out of here! She'll probably worried sick! I told her I'd be back at noon and here I am locked in a washer!"
He heard a faint scratching outside. Afraid, he laid back down, pretending to still be knocked out. Soft footsteps were heard as they made their way over him on the silk. He gave a small gulp as they got closer.
"He looks like an angel when he sleeps," Cassandra sighed longingly. She ran a paw through his top head fur. Skimbleshanks felt her lips kiss his ear, his heart banging against the inside of his chest. "Oh my beautiful darling. How I wish you'd awake."
"Skimble?" Jennyany's voice sounded like the heavenly choir. "Where is he? He should be home by now."
"Drat! That Gumbie Cat will ruin everything!" Cassandra hissed but looked down at Skimbleshanks lovingly. "I'll be back my dear."
He felt her soft lips against his fur, sending a shiver up his spine. When he heard the washer door close, he sat up. He searched around, hoping to find one way out. He soon found a small opening but it wasn't so small that he couldn't crawl out. He stuck his head out, bringing his waist through.
"Almost---there," He managed to grunt. He pressed his paws against the wall, pushed and tumbled out. "Finally! Now I have to hide before she finds me!"
"Mungo, please stop!" Rumpelteazer cried, her arms around his waist. "Please, leave Mistoffelees alone!"
Mistoffelees looked down at the enraged tom, his claws nearly in reach of his tail. The black and white tom yelped, pulling his tail closer. Mungojerrie hissed angrily, trying to shake off Rumpelteazer who was doing all she could to hold him back.
Mistoffelees had managed to get away. Even though he was a gentle tom and despised fighting with his magic, he could see no other solution when he had been pinned. Mungojerrie was a lot stronger than he was so it was apparent that he could not fight him. Mistoffelees however managed to strike his opponent's nose with a small yet painful zap of blue lighting. Mungojerrie whimpered, holding his nose while Rumpelteazer declared her love loudly for the small black tom. With both fear and speed guiding his legs, he sprang into the air, landing on an old A/C sitting within a mountain of trash.
"Come down here and fight me like a tom!" Mungojerrie demanded, still blind with his rage mounting. "I swear, I'll tear you into little pieces you coward!"
"Mungo, please think this out!" Mistoffelees begged as he stared down. "You're not in your right state!"
"Enough talk! Come down here you yellow livered coward!"
"Mungojerrie, this has to stop! Why are you so mad?" Rumpelteazer asked, completely oblivious to the tom's feelings towards her.
"Why? WHY?" Mungojerrie raised his voice. Rumpelteazer let go of his waist, frightened. When he saw this, his face softened. "Rumpel-----I-----you don't get it do you? Mistoffelees does not love you!"
"So what if he doesn't?" She asked. "I still love him! I'll follow him anywhere as long as I live!"
Mungojerrie gave another yell, purely outrage. He ran back to the tower of garbage, running into it. It shook, nearly knocking Mistoffelees off his perch. The tiger tom glared at him with fire in his eyes. The tuxedo cat gulped, fear within his. He knew talking wouldn't solve anything if it was between just the two of them. Mungo was too blinded by his fury that grew with every word of affection towards Mistoffelees that escaped Rumpelteazer's lips.
"Mistoffelees, as soon as I get my paws on you, I'm gonna------"
"Gonna do what?" Munkustrap asked from behind.
Mungojerrie whirled around, coming face to face with the glaring eyes of Munkustrap. Tumblebrutus and Alonzo helped Mistoffelees down from his perch. He thanked both of them before Rumpelteazer squealed with delight, knocking him down to the ground with one bone cracking hug. Mungojerrie growled but he was held back by Munkustrap.
"Mungojerrie, would you care to explain to me what is going on?"
"It's not my fault! Ask that magic heathen who is a two-timing good for nothing Pollicle!" Mungojerrie spat.
"Oh shut up you big meanie!" The cheeky queen stuck her tongue out. "You're just jealous because you're not as talented as my Mistoffelees!"
"ARGH!"
"Wow, Tumblebrutus was right," Alonzo said as he helped Munkustrap hold back Mungojerrie who was ready to slash Mistoffelees' neck. "The two of them have gone crazy."
"Lets get back to the tire and see if we can't work this out," Munkustrap struggled to get a firm grasp of Mungojerrie. "Mistoffelees, you come along and bring Rumpelteazer with you."
"Oh, he doesn't have to bring me anywhere!" She snuggled with the poor, confused tuxedo. "I'll follow him to the ends of the earth!"
Mistoffelees groaned but followed Munkustrap with Rumpelteazer holding onto his arm.
