Back on the rooftops...
"I'm getting tired..." Oliver pouted to Thomas.
"We should probably stop for the night." Thomas decided.
"That sounds like a good idea." Snow White yawned.
"Thomas, Madame will be so worried," Duchess frowned. "Are you sure we can't get home tonight?"
"Mama, I'm tired." Marie said.
"Me too, and my feet hurt." Berlioz added.
"All of us are bushed." Akito yawned.
"Yeah, it is pretty late." Thomas agreed.
"We should stop for the night." Vulpix stretched and then scratched his ear with his back hind leg.
"I'll bet we walked a hundred miles." Toulouse groaned.
"If only there was some place to stop for the night." Teddy yawned.
"Come on, let me find a place for us all." Thomas offered.
"Okay." Akito said.
"It'll be okay, sweethearts." Maisy soothed her nephews and niece.
Thomas began to look around. Oliver looked with his biological father.
"How much further is it, Mr. O'Malley?" Dot asked as she walked with Scruffy and Weenie.
"Keep your bows on, Princess," Thomas replied. "It's just beyond the next chimney pot."
"I agree." Oliver said, believing his father.
"Well, there it is," Thomas then welcomed them after a little while. "My own penthouse pad. It's not exactly the Ritz, but it's peaceful and quiet."
As if on cue, a trumpet horn was blown.
"Quiet, huh?" Felicity deadpanned.
"Oh, no, sounds like Scat Cat and his gang." Thomas remarked.
"Scat Cat?" Oliver smiled, liking the name.
"They're old buddies and the're real swingers." Thomas smiled as well.
"Swingers?" Duchess asked. "What exactly is a swinger?"
"I believe that's what they call Garfield on Thanksgiving." Maisy said to herself.
"Yeah, what are swingers?" Dot asked.
"You know, uh, not exactly your type, Duchess," Thomas got nervous then. "Maybe we'd better find another place, huh?"
"Oh, no, no, no, I would like to see your pad, and meet your Scat Cat." Duchess insisted.
'Sounds like she wants a taste of the wild side.' Maisy thought to herself.
"Well, okay." Thomas said to Duchess as he led them to meet Scat Cat and the others.
"Reminds me of Nicole during our Welcome to Spring party." Eloise said to Akito, Estelle, Vincent, and Felicity.
Once they got to the opening, they looked inside and where Maisy saw her mate.
"Hey, Scat Cat!" Thomas called from the roof window as Oliver stood beside him. "Blow some of that sweet stuff my way!"
'These cats seem nice.' Estelle thought to herself.
Maisy looked drawn to the other cats in the building.
"Maisy, are you all right?" Duchess asked her sister, not realizing she had found her long-lost mate.
"Sorry, Duchess, but I think Tom is in there." Maisy said as she pointed inside.
"Tom?" Duchess replied.
"Yes, my old friend Tom," Maisy smiled. "He was friends with a mouse like you guys, but his name was Jerry."
"Were you and Tom close?" Vincent asked.
"Oh, yes, very," Maisy replied softly. "I can't remember what split us apart though."
"Split you apart?" Eloise asked.
"Something happened and we hadn't seen each other in a while, I of course focused on my work with the Pound Furries..." Maisy sighed. "I surely missed him."
Tom soon looked up and he soon saw Maisy and where he couldn't help but stare at her.
"Tom..." Maisy whispered from her position.
"Maisy..." Tom whispered himself as he noticed the white cat he hadn't seen in years.
Maisy soon slipped and fell into Tom's strong arms.
"Whoa!" both cats called until Tom carried her as he stood on two legs and their eyes locked into each other's.
"Oh, um, hello, Tom." Maisy said.
"Maisy, long time no see," Tom smiled. "How long's it been, would ya say?"
"Far too long," Maisy replied. "You still keeping in touch with Jerry?"
"Yeah." Tom nodded.
"Oh, that's good... So, you're in a group now?" Maisy asked.
"It's a long story." Tom replied as he set her down on the ground safely.
"It's been a while since we last saw each other." Maisy said.
"I'll say," Tom agreed. "Oh, it reminds me of when Jerry and I had our first adventure with Patch... Our owners moved away without us."
"Oh, Tom, that sounds terrible," Maisy frowned. "You never told me about that."
"I didn't want ya to worry, on the bright side, we got to meet Robyn." Tom shrugged.
"True." Maisy said before seeing the Pound Furries tag around Tom's neck.
"Your tag..." she then pointed out.
"Oh, this old thing?" Tom smiled. "What about it?"
"When did you join the Pound Furries?" Maisy smiled.
"Oh, a while back, I'll tell ya later, let's get you guys inside first." Tom decided.
Maisy smiled to him, he hadn't changed at all, except for the living in Paris.
"You remind me of a cat girl I saw around these parts called Mewsette." Tom said to Duchess with a smile.
"Who?" Duchess asked.
"I've heard of her, but she's a very pretty cat in these parts, she reminds me of Toodles Galore." Tom said.
Maisy gave him a look.
"It was before we met!" Tom defended so Maisy wouldn't get angry or jealous because of an old flame. "My old buddy Butch and I used to fight over her, but it's all in the past!"
"That's what I thought." Maisy said.
Tom smiled nervously and then wiped his head in relief.
Scat Cat walked over. "Say, Tommy Boy, who's this lady?"
"This is Maisy, my girl." Tom put his arm around Maisy with a smile.
"Former girl." Maisy said.
"Former girl?" Tom asked as he then let go of her. "I told you, Toodles was in the past, we had a thing going on back when we were young."
"Remember when we broke up?" Maisy asked.
"I thought maybe you were over that?" Tom pouted.
"I'm glad to see you, but please respect my wishes..." Maisy replied. "We can still be friends though."
Tom then sighed in defeat. "Ah, okay..."
They all soon started to party. Scat Cat and his group then began to play a song for everybody to dance to. Even the kids, puppies, and Pokemon enjoyed it very much. And where it would have went out all night if Scat Cat and his crew hadn't fallen to the bottom.
"Oh, no!" Oliver panicked.
Luckily, none of them were hurt. Snow White winced before looking down and then breathed in relief.
"That was a fun song." Eloise giggled.
"It was even better than Monsieur Fife's melodies around the holidays." Felicity agreed.
The kids soon got tired.
"I'd say it's time for bed." Duchess commented.
"Mm-hmm." Maisy agreed with her sister.
"At least let me help you all get to bed." Tom offered.
"It sure would be nice to help." Vincent yawned.
"We've had a long day." Jenny nodded.
"Well, alright." Maisy said.
"Come, we must rest." Duchess told her sister.
Maisy nodded in agreement.
The kids came close to their Pokemon and pets.
"Okay, guys, time for some rest." Akito said as he took out his Pokeball.
"Okay." Larvitar yawned before seeing that Ponyta was trying to join them.
The kids then returned their Pokemon to their Pokeballs so they could get some sleep themselves.
"Time for sleep." Estelle yawned.
Duchess gathered her kittens together while Tom helped Maisy with Oliver and Snow White.
"Happy dreams, my loves." Duchess cooed to her kittens as they started to fall asleep.
"Night." Snow White yawned.
Oliver yawned as he seemed to cuddle up against Snow White in their sleep. Duchess smiled, she then decided to see Thomas as he was up on the rooftops. And where Tom and Maisy began to watch how this would go.
"I worry about my sister." Maisy said.
"You should, she's your sister," Tom understood. "I haven't spoken to my sister in years."
"Really?" Maisy asked.
Tom slowly nodded.
"Hm... Well, if you'll excuse me." Maisy replied.
"Go ahead." Tom allowed her to have her space.
The kittens seemed to be awake as they went to see what was going on.
"I'll bet they're on that magic carpet right now." Thomas said as Duchess joined him on the roof.
"They could hardly keep their eyes open," Duchess smiled. "Ah, such an exciting day."
'I just know that they are in love.' Maisy thought to herself.
The kittens seemed to sneak over so they could watch with their Aunt Maisy. The puppies soon joined them. Thomas told Duchess that he actually liked the kittens, especially Oliver since he was his son after all. Oliver was happy to hear this.
"You know, they need-Well, you know, a sort-Well, a sort of a-well, a father around." Thomas said to Duchess slightly nervously.
"Oh, Thomas, Thomas, that would be wonderful," Duchess replied. "Oh, darling, i-if only I could."
"Uh-oh, I don't like how she said it like that." Oliver whispered.
"But why can't you?" Thomas asked.
"Because of Madame," Duchess frowned. "I-I could never leave her."
'I was afraid of that.' Dot thought to herself.
Scruffy whimpered slightly himself as he had high hopes for Thomas and Duchess. Oliver had high hopes for them too.
"Well, we almost had a father," Berlioz frowned before looking to Oliver since Thomas was his biological father. "Another brother too."
"Yeah, let's go back to bed." Toulouse replied.
"Yeah." Scruffy frowned.
"I almost had a mother..." Oliver whispered with tears in his eyes.
The kittens and puppies soon went back to bed.
"Good night, Duchess." Thomas told the prim and proper white cat.
"Good night, Thomas." Duchess replied to the alley orange cat.
'She might miss Madame, but she's also going to miss Thomas.' Maisy thought to herself.
