Calico Queen Chapter 8- Raise Your Glass, or Fist, a cats fanfic

Sorry for the late chapter. I have been busy and my sleep schedule got screwed up. I usually sleep from 6 A.M to 11 A.M. But i went to my moms house and we got a fight and dad came and got me and i just gt out of whack. This chapter might seem a little rushed, and i am sorry. I just really dont have any ideas to fill up the week. Remember to please review and give me helpful hints or anything you would like to see happen or something. Thank you for understanding. And i do not own anything used in this story.

The rest of the week went by slowly for Teazer. They worked on self defense everyday and Teazer was always the one to never get pinned. It got boring to her most of the time.

But she was noticing something change about Jake. He started hanging out with the toms she had seen sneak out. The day after when they had a hangover and Mungojerrie made them run and run and run and Mungojerrie kept blowing the whistle to them, one of the toms threw up and it was Jake he went and sat by on purpose. She noticed Jake also give a menacing glare to Jerrie while talking to the tom. She knew he was changing, and she didnt know if she liked it.

On Friday after lunch when everyone came back to the training area, Mudd went to the middle of the room and spoke in a loud booming voice. "Now. We are finished training for the day. Everyone gets the weekend off to do as you wish. No drinking on Sunday though. We need clear heads for Monday. Some henchcats sell Beers of all kinds in a large closet right next to the cafeteria. If you have any money feel free to go buy them."

Just then Jerrie cut in. "An' we leave ya with these words." He and Halestrom looked at each other then both yelled in unison "PARTEH TIME SUCKAHS!" While they were yelling they pulled out toilet paper rolls and proceeded to run around TP'ing the whole area then run out the door.

Mudd only rolled his eyes and said "Sorry about that. Everyone go have fun. Training will be monday morning same time as always. Good weekend everyone."

Teazer smiled and walked over to a friend she had made throughout the week since she wasnt in the same room or group as Jake and Bellian all the time. Her friends name was Alice and she was much like Teazer. She was young, 15. She was also completely black with white spots over her back and tail like mist. Teazer thought she was actually very beautiful for a queen. Her head fur slightly went over her right eye and the tip of her left ear drooped unlike her right, which stuck up like all other cats ears.

"So what are you going to do Teazer?" Alice smiled as her and Teazer began walking out of the room together. "Oi though' we could 'ang ou' with moi tomfriend." Alice smiled remembering "Oh yeah. Jake. You think his group is already out here?" She motioned to the crowded hallway. "Oi think so." Teazer stood on her toes to try to find the pure white cat. She smiled as she noticed him laughing with some toms. "Come on" She said as she grabbed Alice's wrist and they giggled as they made their way through the crowd to Jake.

"'ey Jake." She said when she got up to him wrapping him in a warm hug and kissing him on the cheek. "Hey.. Teazer.." He said as he felt embarrassed because he was with his friends. The other toms chuckled silently to each other. She grabbed his hand and didnt see the other toms silently laughing at Jake and making little kissy faces at him. Jake only hung his head slightly. Alice seemed to notice though as she stayed beside Teazer, thinking something was about to happen.

"So whot a'e we gonna do this weekend Jake?" She smiled up at him. He cleared his throat "well actually i made plans with my boys." He motioned to his friends. Teazer giggled slightly "Your, boys? Oi though' WE made plans ta 'ang with each othah this weekend. Ya know. Go singin' loike we always do."

She looked up at him with her eye brows furrowed slightly as she tried to remind him. She looked over at Jakes boys as they laughed. "Jake. We need to go get the beer before its all gone. Are you coming or not?" One of the toms said trying to hold back more laughter.

"Yeah im coming. Here. I will catch up with you guys." He handed a small amount of money to the tom. Apparently they were all chipping in to buy more beer.

Teazer looked up at him in disbelief. "Beer? Ya nevah drink! Whots gotten inta ya?" Jake took slight offense to this "Dont act like my mom Teazer. Its only a couple beers. Calm down." Teazer stopped him from walking off by standing right infront of him. "So ya a'e blowin moi off fo' THEM?" Jake glared at her. "THEM are my friends. You should be happy i got some friends Teazer."

She glared back at him. "Oi think ya forgot tha reason we a'e 'EAR Jake!" He shook his head "Look. Im fine okay? I promise i will drink no beers." He leaned down and whispered to her "And they can help find KC and John. Dont worry i know what im doing." He kissed her on the cheek and walked past her to catch up with his friends.

She turned back to Alice and shook her head. "Okay. Oi guess we a'e goin ta intertain ourselves." Alice turned to Teazer. She had been talking to a tom while Teazer was talking to Jake. Teazer smiled at Alice and the tom. "Nevahmoind. Oi see." Alice blushed slightly. "No. we can still hang out Teazer." No. Oi refuse. 'ave a goot toime Alice." She smiled and hugged Alice, whispering in her ear "good luck" and Alice nodded to Teazer, walking off with the tom.

Teazer flicked her ear slightly, then walked back to her barracks. She sat down on her bed, only seeing a few groups. She saw a couple of queens gossiping to each other, a few toms talking about what they were going to do this weekend, and Mungojerrie, Halestrom, and a few other toms.

She cocked her ears in their direction and heard they were playing truth or dare. She got bored and put her feet up on the mattress above her, but it dropped dust or something which made her sneeze. Mungojerrie looked at her and watched her for a moment. Then went back to the game.

She sat up and looked over at them only to see him glance at her, then look back at his friends. She heard one of his friends laugh and say "I have an idea. Lets all go out to the bar tonight! BUT! Everyone has to bring a queen with them is the challenge! She has to willingly want to go with you, and you have to have her at the bar before 8 tonight. You also have to actually KNOW her. Not just grab any old queen off the street. Got it? and we can all have a group date!" The toms talked then agreed. "Alright. GO!" Said the same tom and the toms all got up and left the room. Only a couple stayed behind.

She noticed Hale and Jerrie stay behind and talk for a minute "So who are you going to bring Jerrie?" Hale asked. "Oi 'ave no idea. Oi moight just grab one off tha street 'n cheat." Hale laughed and clapped a hand on his back, then began talking to one of the queens left in the room.

Jerrie went to leave the room but noticed Teazer just lying on her bed. He walked over and sat down on his bed and faced her "'ey. Whot a'e ya doin? Don' ya 'ave friends ya a'e goin ta spend da weekend with?" He asked in his strong Cockeny accent.

Teazer looked over at him and sat up. "Ya. But they a'e all gone with their friends. Oi jus' decoided i would sleep oll weekend." She shrugged. "Aww. Well, tha's no fun. Atleast go ge' ya a beer or two 'n 'ave fun by yo'self." Teazer only shrugged.

"OI KNOW!" Jerrie realized what he could do to help her out some. "Okay. Ya could pretend ta be moi date!" He smiled at her and she only side glanced at him. "Oh come on. I's onleh a fake date. I's better than sittin on ya bum tanoight." He gave her a matter-of-fact look and she nodded. "Okay. But i's jus' a pretend date." She smiled and they stood up together. They walked out of the room together and went down the hall.

"Oi think we should ge' somethin' ta eat first. Where we a'e goin doesnt 'ave much food. I's a bar." He said, opening the door of the cafeteria for her. They didnt speak as they ate. When they were finished it was around 7:20. Jerrie said it took about 30 minutes to get to the bar, but he knew a short cut through some alleys.

They walked in silence down the alleys until Jerrie broke the silence. "So. Whot day is ya birthday?" He asked without looking at her. "Wednesday." She answered boredly. "Oh. And ya will be 15. Noice." He looked around, trying to think of something else to talk about.

They were almost to the bar when drunk toms crossed the alley infront of them and Teazer gasped. She saw Jake with beer in his hand and walked up to him. "Jake! Oi thought ya werent goin ta drink nothin" She gasped at him grapping his arm softly. "Its only a beer Teazer. Chill down." he glared at her. He was drunk. She knew it. He looked up as his friends hollored back at him "Come on Jake!" "Im coming!" He yelled to them then looked back at Teazer. Teazer looked at his arm and her mouth gaped open. "Ya go' a tattoo?" She looked up at him with her eyes widened. "Get off my back Teazer!" He jerked his arm from her grasp and ran to catch up with his friends. She glared after him then went back to Jerrie.

He only stood there waiting as she stood with her arms crossed over her chest. She looked up at him and snapped "A'e ya goin ta lead tha way or not?" He quickly started walking in the direction of the bar and Teazer followed.

When they got to the bar it was 7:40 and some of Jerrie's friends were there. Teazer found the bar a very strange place. There were toms and queens dancing on a dance floor, a large bar at the back, large booths and tables scattered about, it was dark, there were laser lights streaming everywhere, loud music playing, and a sign up that said Karaoke Night.

She followed Jerrie to sit at a bar where there was a large bucket of beers in ice in the middle of the table. Jerrie grabbed one then handed one to Teazer. She smiled and shook her head "No thanks." Jerrie cocked his head like he was dealing with a kit who wouldnt drink their milk. "Oh come on. I's jus' one beer. I's not gonna hurt ya."

He gave her a friendly smile and she rolled her head, taking the beer and opening it. She drank some of it and found it to be not as bad as she thought it to be, although it did make her crinkle her nose slightly. Jerrie only chuckled at her and turned to his other friends that were showing up.

About an hour in Teazer was still working on that one beer, taking a sip of it every few minutes. She could tell everyone had just arrived and was getting a slight buzz when lights turned on the stage and a tom was there with a microphone.

"WHO OUT THERE IS READY FOR SOME KARAOKE!" He held up his beer in cheer and everyone cheered. "So who is going to be first?" He looked around and no one answered. Jerrie whispered to all of his friends and they all stood up and pointed to Teazer behind her so she couldnt see them. The man on stage smiled "i think we have a winner!" He pointed to Teazer and the spotlight went on her, literally.

She was cloaked in white light as she turned around to Jerrie and glared at him. "Oh go on. Oi dare ya!" She shook her head. "No!" "Whot a'e ya scared?" He pryed. "NO!" He smiled and said "Good." then gently pushed her towards the stage. She smiled and shook her head to the tom on stage. He only smiled "Oh, i think she is a little shy! Lets give her some encouragement!" Everyone began to clap and cheer and they seemed to push her to the stage. When she was there she was lifted up by the cats and placed on the stage infront of a mic and a small tv on the floor.

The tom pressed a button and it flashed to a couple of songs. Teazer tried to look for one she knew. She knew none of them, but she had heard only one of them before. She pointed to it and the tom nodded his head, clicking on it and getting off the stage as the music started. She tried to remember how it went as she watched the lyrics on the screen.

"Right right, turn off the lights, we gonna lose our minds tonight, whats the dealio?"

She glanced at Jerrie with bitterness in her eyes as he and others cheered.

"I love when its all too much. 5 am turn the radio up, where's the rock and roll?

Party crasher, penny snatcher, call me up if you a gangsta, dont be fancy just get dancey, who so serious?

The lights went with her song and dimmed down, then when she started singing they brightened right back up and she actually started to enjoy herself.

"So raise your glass if you are wrong, in all the right ways, all my underdogs. We will never be never be anything but loud, and nitty gritty dirty little freaks. Wont you come on and come on and raise your glass! Just come on and come on and raise your glass!"

After the chorus everyone was up and dancing and singing along with Teazer.

"slam, slam, oh hot damn
What part of a party don't you understand?
Wish you'd just freak out
(Freak out already)
Can't stop, coming in hot
I should be locked up right on the spot
It's so on right now
(It's so fucking on right now)"

She started to slightly dance by moving her hips and head around while singing.

"Party crasher, penny snatcher
Call me up if you're a gangsta
Don't be fancy, just get dancy
Why so serious?

So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways, all my underdogs
We will never be, never be anything but loud
And nitty, gritty, dirty, little freaks
Won't you come on and come on and
Raise your glass!
Just come on and come on and
Raise your glass!
Won't you come on and come on and
Raise your glass!
Just come on and come on and
Raise your glass!

Oh shit! My glass is empty
That sucks!

So if you're too school for cool
(I mean)
And you're treated like a fool
(You're treated like a fool)
You can choose to let it go
We can always, we can always party on our own"

When Teazer began singing again she began jumping and pounding her fist along with all the other cats in the bar.

"So raise your (oh, fuck)
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways, all my underdogs
We will never be, never be anything but loud
And nitty, gritty, dirty, little freaks

When Teazer was finished everyone cheered as she handed the Mic back to the tom and she walked off the stage, everyone clapping their hands on her back and cheering.

She walked over to the table and held up her hands as if saying "you got nothin on me" Jerrie held up his hands and moved them as if he was bowing to her.

The rest of the night Teazer was happier and drank a few more beers. Around 1 everyone decided to go on back home and find something else to do. By now, Teazer had had atleast 5 beers and was drunk. On the way home Jerrie had to help hold Teazer so she wouldnt fall.

"OH MOI GOSH! THA SKOIY! ITS SO PRETTEH!" She yelled as she spun slightly, looking at the sky. Jerrie laughed. "Yeah. Its pretteh." He turned her back around and they continued on down the alley. "Oi didn' know ya could sing tha' good Teazah." Jerrie complimented. She laughed. "Oi love ta sing!" She threw up her arms and Jerrie had to catch her. She giggled and stedied herself. Her and Jerrie talked for while walking to get to know each other. Teazer, in her drunk state, told him all about things she had never even told Jake, like what she remember of her family and what she dreamt about. Jerrie in turn told her that he had never really known his family and joined Macavity because he was a kit and was scared and thought it would be good to have friends and a home.

Soon Teazer and Jerrie knew everything about each other, but suddenly Teazer stopped in her tracks. She saw Jake. Kissing a queen. She became enraged and ran up to him just as he was looking back at his friends. His eyes widened as Teazer walked up to him. "WHOT IS THIS?" She yelled pointing to the queen. Jake stood up "It was only a dare Teazer!"

He tried to grab her wrists but she threw her wrists back. This made him lean forward slightly and he smelt alcohal on her breathe. "You're drunk Teazer." He only glared at her. "YOU! OI CANT BELIEVE YA!" He tried to calm her down. "Teazer just go home and go to bed." He sort of demanded. Teazer scoffed.

"NO! Jake. We're THROUGH!" She stormed past him. He widened his eyes and looked back at his friends, then chased her. "HEY! You are not going to talk to me like that!" He forcefully grabbed her arm. She tried to tug away but couldnt. Apparently drunk Jake didnt want to be embarrassed and walked all over infront of his new friends.

Teazer was pulled behind the building by the much stronger Jake. She couldnt get him to release her arm so she punched him in the face. He put a hand up to his mouth, and his lip was bleeding. He looked back at her and said "You shouldnt have done that Teazer." He then slapped her across the side of the face, making her fall to her knees.

Just then Mungojerrie showed up and grabbed Jake by his shoulders, shoving him up against the wall. Jake tried to pry Jerrie off of him but was stopped by Jerrie punching him in the face. "Don' ya EVAH touch this queen again! Ya 'ear moi?" Jerrie shook Jake a bit and Jake punched him in the face, making Jerrie let him go.

"She is my queen friend and this is no business of yours!" He yelled turning back to Teazer, grabbing her and pulling her up as she yelled "oim not ya queen friend anehmore Jake! we are ovah!" she slapped him and he punched her in the face, this time making her completely fall.

Jerrie then roundhouse kicked Jake across the face. This mad ehim stumble backwards and fall while Jerrie got on top of him and kept punching him. He then went over to Teazer. She was blacking out. He picked her up bridal style and carried her back to the hide out.

Jerrie went into the now empty barracks and placed Teazer on his bed since there wanst a bed over his. He went and got a wet rag then came back and dabbed it on her head.

"Teazah? Teazah wake up." Teazer slowly opened her eyes and coughed. She had a terrible headache. Then she remembered what happened. She sat up and pulled her knees up to her chin, hiding her head in her arms and starting to cry.

Jerrie rubbed her back. "Teazah i's okay." Teazer only looked up at him, tears streaming down her face. "No i's not! We were goin out fo' ovah a year'!" She burried her head back in her arms and continued to cry. Jerrie sat on the bed beside her and put a warm arm around her.

"If ya were moi queen friend oi would nevah do tha' ta ya." She only sniffled in reply. "If he dun tha' ta ya then 'e doesn' deserve ya. 'e doesn' deserve ya." Rumpleteazer then leaned over and hugged Jerrie around his chest. They both stayed like that until they fell asleep from all the beers. In the morning, Teazer and Jerrie awoke to find Alice and Jerrie's friends and other cats talking about them and staring at them. Teazer looked at herself and Jerrie and realized why. Jerrie had his hams around her and she was lying on top of him with her legs on one side of him. They quickly got off. Teazer could only feel her face go red as she smiled and slighlty waved at Jerrie as she and Alice walked off, Jerrie going to his friends.

Of course Alice wanted to know everything that happened to Teazer last night, so Teazer told her and relived everything that had happen. Or what she could remember of it. She mostly remember after she got drunk the fight with Jake she had. Nothing else.

Then Alice began to talk about her date with the tom she met yesterday.

Teazer nodded but began to drift off into her own state of mind. She was thinking of lyrics to a song she could make about Jake. She had started it while they were dating but now decided to change it. Then her thoughts drifted to Jerrie. At first she thought he was just some player like what she had heard about the other lead toms. Now she was thinking differently about him.
