Cocobutterrox, prepare yourself for excitement! I know you'll be super happy when you read this chapter! :)

The next few days Jerrie and Teazer went stealing every chance they got. By now the Jellicles knew Jerrie and allowed him in, something they never really did. There were days where Jerrie would just hang out in Teazer's den, and today was one of those days.

"So, Jerrie, do yah 'ave a moite?" Teazer asked as she fiddled with her Woolworth pearls, her prized possession.

"Yeah, but we're moah loike best friends ond 'er fathah arranged it. Do yah?"

"Nah. None of the Jellicles really cotch moi oye."

"Whot about thot maned tom?" Jerrie asked, thinking of the different Jellicles.

Teazer burst out laughing. "Rum Tum Tuggah? Yeah roight!" Tugger, who had been passing by, heard his name being said and glanced over. Teazer burst out laughing again at his expression. Tugger cocked an eyebrow, fluffed his mane, and walked away.

Jerrie smirked as he watched the tom leave. "Jost a suggestion."

Teazer calmed down. "So, yah should let moi meet yah moite sometoime!"

"Really?" Jerrie perked up. "'ow about tomorrah?"

"Yeah!"

So, the next day, Jerrie brought Ova to meet Teazer. Ova was really nervous at first, but she warmed up to Teazer right away. Soon the two queens were gossiping like they knew each other their whole lives. Jerrie left to go find some mice for the queens.

"Hey Jerrie!" He turned to see Plato, a tom who had taken a liking to Jerrie, waving at him.

"'ey Plato!"

Plato ran up and smiled. "Where you off to?"

"'unting."

"Mind if I join?"

"Come on!" The two toms successfully caught eight mice total. Two for Plato, and six to split between Jerrie, Ova, and Teazer.

"Whoa…" Plato stopped short and stared straight ahead. "Who's that?"

Jerrie looked to see Ova standing outside with Teazer. He turned to see Plato, who had a lovesick expression on his face.

"Korova, but she prefers Ova," Jerrie replied. "Come on, Oi'll introduce yah." Plato hurriedly made himself look decent as they walked over. The two queens noticed the toms and smiled. Plato smiled shyly at Ova and she gave a small smile in return. "Ova, this is moi friend Plato."

"Hi Plato," Ova greeted.

"Hi." Plato glanced at Jerrie. "Um…want to have a tour of the junkyard?"

Ova smiled. "Absolutely!" Plato held his arm out and she took it. Jerrie winked at her as they walked off. Jerrie turned back to Teazer and handed her two mice. She took it graciously and they sat down. They were making plans for their next thieving when he noticed Macavity out of the corner of his eye. Panic rose in his throat and he swallowed the last of his mouse. He excused himself and dashed around the pile of junk away from everyone.

"Whot ore yah doing 'ere?" Jerrie whispered frantically.

"I was looking for you and Korova." Macavity hissed. "Is that Plato she's with?"

Jerrie hesitated. "Uh…yeah."

"Jerrie, do you want to go through another one of my punishments?" Jerrie shook his head numbly. "Then I suggest you go over there and get her away from him. You are her chosen mate. Do not try anything or I will kill you." Macavity disappeared. Jerrie slowly made his way over to the two chatting cats.

"Ova, it's…it's toime tah go 'ome," Jerrie whispered. Ova looked at him funny and said goodbye to Plato and Teazer. They walked back to the warehouse paw – in – paw. Ova started swinging her arm back and forth to get Jerrie's attention. He looked at her and gave a small smile.

"Is something wrong?" Ova finally asked.

"No," Jerrie lied. Ova didn't believe him but didn't push him. Macavity joined them for dinner, and Jerrie only looked down at his bowl. How could he keep Ova away from Plato? She seemed to have an attraction to him, and she wanted to see him again. Jerrie was happy that she found someone who liked her for herself. Jerrie glanced up to see Macavity glaring at him.

"Do not say anything to Korova about this afternoon," Macavity whispered in his mind. Jerrie nodded slightly. He helped clear the table and went to bed. He grabbed his sack and pulled out the contents from the previous thieving.

He pulled out the diamond ring he had managed to snatch up and stared at it. He thought about Teazer and how comfortable he was around her. They both shared all the same interests, unlike Ova, who shared only a few interests. He twirled the ring in his paw and closed his eyes. Would it be wrong that he dreamt of Teazer that night? He thought so…

So. Cocobutterrox? What do ya think so far? This chapter is for you, the biggest Plato fan in the world! :D I totally made your character and Plato have a budding relationship ;)
