The sun streamed into the room, warming the room immediately and also, waking Bombalurina up.
She stretched out and got out of bed, yawning and strolling over to the mirror to start getting ready.
Unknowingly, she put in a little more effort and care into how she looked that day.
She finally stepped out of her door into the sunlight and walked out into the open.
She spotted Demeter, walking quickly towards Bombalurina.
"Where did you go last night?" She practically screeched.
"Good morning to you too-"
"No joking around right now Bomba, where were you?" she said impatiently.
Bombalurina calmly sat down on the nearby tire and Demeter followed.
Bomba laid back and took in the sun as she said
"For your information, I escaped the bounds of this junkyard."
A moment of silence passed between them before Demeter responded.
"Wait, what?" Demeter asked, quite confused
Bombalurina rolled over towards Demeter and smiled.
"Well after the little run in with Macavity, I took the opportunity to climb the fence…and…"
"And what Bomba?" Demeter was obviously going through a mix of emotions, and Bombalurina decided not to include her conversation with Macavity.
"And nothing, that's all. I'm going for a walk" Bomba quickly got up and walked away.
Munkustrap was scanning the yard on his usual patrol duties.
While walking he bumped into Bombalurina,
"Sorry Munkus" She said, slightly distracted.
"It's just fine, actually, I was hoping to speak to you." He pulled her aside and continued to speak
"I know you left the junkyard last night, and maybe you weren't aware but you can't leave the premises."
"Obviously I was aware Munkustrap," she leaned in a little closer, "or I wouldn't have climbed the fence."
"Bombalurina, it isn't safe, you can't just leave the area without at least a tom to accompany you."
Bombalurina was getting impatient and sighed
"I need freedom Munkustrap! How the hell am I supposed to live my life's potential in a shitty junkyard?"
Munkustrap tried to respond but she continued to ramble
"I can't be kept cooped up here! It's not fair, when will I get to see faces other than the Jellicles?"
"It's not safe, and there will be no exceptions made. You could've been seriously hurt last night Bombalurina."
"Who are you my father?" She scoffed, putting her hands on her hips.
"I'm only concerned for your safety, and for that matter the tribe's safety."
She leaned in and said in a harsh whisper.
"Well turn your concern to someone else."
With that she turned around and walked off.
Soon enough, it was nighttime, and Bombalurina prepared to leave once again.
She walked out of her home carefully, making sure to avoid whomever was on patrol.
She slipped behind the pipes and climbed over the fence once more, landing more gracefully this time.
She smiled at this accomplishment and began walking.
Finding a bar that Macavity would be in wasn't her main priority, but it was definitely on her mind.
She sauntered around the area until she found an appealing bar and club.
She walked up to the tom who was letting people in, and he stopped her.
"Hold it babe, your name Bomba or something?" He looked her up and down
"Bombalurina, is that a problem?" She said calmly.
"No not at all, go on in." He gave her one last look over before she went in.
She was slightly confused about what had just happened, but the confusion quickly passed when she had entered.
The place was beaming with different colored lights and music. It was definitely different from the one last night.
She walked towards the bar, still not quite sure what to do yet.
She glanced over at the area where everyone was dancing, but then quickly turned around when she heard someone clear their throat close to her.
"Followed me again did you?" Macavity said looking down on Bomba.
"Actually," she said, swirling her drink around and taking a sip, "I think you followed me."
Macavity smiled seductively, "Oh?"
Bombalurina laughed lightly put down her empty glass and Macavity gestured to the bartender for two more drinks.
As he sat down he leaned in closer as she responded
"Hmmm, well I was asked if my name was Bombalurina. Kind of strange isn't it."
She looked at him and leaned in playfully
"Maybe they were told to alert you when I entered a bar"
Macavity chuckled and took a drink out of his glass, but didn't respond.
Bombalurina continued speaking,
"Except, want to know what I'm wondering Mac?"
He looked up at her at being called this,
"No," he smiled darkly, "enlighten me."
"I don't think a tom would go through all that trouble for a possible one night stand. So I'm obviously something more than that to you" she then leaned in to whisper in his ear
"Aren't I?"
