Jemima knows

Tugger woke up noticing that Quaxo wasn't there. He went outside to the clear and saw Quaxo and Victoria playing. I thought I had a chance. Tugger's face fell. He also saw Electra, Etcetera and the other kittens play. Huh, where's Jemima? Tugger thought. He went to Munkustrap and asked where his niece was. "I don't know. She came home yesterday crying and shouting "I hate her!" at the top of her lungs so Demeter and I decided not to interfere. But you should. You are her favorite uncle." Munkustrap smirked. Tugger laughed and thought, Where does Jemima stay when she's depressed? Tugger smiled at the thought and ran to the back gate and saw Jemima crying above an old pile of appliances. Tugger went up to her and patted her back. "Hey, what's wrong?" Tugger asked.

"Oh." Jemima sniffed. "Nothing. Nothing's wrong." She forced out a smile.

"Oh come on. I know something's wrong. Tell me. I won't take no for an answer." Tugger smiled and Jemima giggled.

"It's just that… I saw… Quaxo kiss Victoria. You see, I like Quaxo. Seeing the kiss…" Jemima broke into a sob once more. It took a while for Jemima's words to sink in Tugger's mind. Wait. Jemima likes Quaxo? Shit. Tugger's eyes widened. "Hey. It's okay. I mean, maybe they're meant for each other." Tugger felt a pang in the heart when he said that. Jemima nodded.

"I guess so. I mean, there's no reason for me to hate Victoria right?" Tugger nodded. "I've got to go. I need to… straight things out." Jemima said. I've got to get over him. Jemima thought as she went away. Tugger stayed.

Jemima thought of confronting Victoria and Quaxo. She saw them out by the clear playing. She went up to them, narrowed her eyes ad looked at them from head to toe. Victoria and Quaxo looked at her like she was some crazy kitty. "Yes? May we help you?" Victoria asked.

"Yes. Apparently, you can. Come with me." Jemima pulled Victoria and Quaxo into her den. "I want a straight answer…" Quaxo felt de-ja-vu. Shit. I have to tell Jemima my secret now? Quaxo sighed. "… Are you together?" Jemima asked. Quaxo and Victoria looked at each other and started to laugh. "No." Quaxo chuckled. "What made you think that?" Quaxo laughed some more and so did Victoria.

"Because. I saw you two kiss." Jemima said flatly. Quaxo's eyes widened and so did Victoria's.

"Y-y-you s-s-saw th-th-that?" Victoria stuttered. Jemima nodded. Quaxo chuckled then both looked at him.

"No." Quaxo chuckled. "I mean, yeah we did but… we did it for a reason."

"What reason?" Jemima asked.

"You see, Quaxo's…" Victoria looked at Quaxo looking for an approval. Quaxo nodded and Victoria continued, "…gay" Jemima's eyes widened even more.

"Y-y-you're gay?" Jemima looked at Quaxo.

"Please don't tell anyone." Quaxo pleaded.

"Don't worry. I just can't believe it." Quaxo nodded.

"Yeah. Hard to believe?" Jemima nodded. Victoria giggled and both Jemima and Quaxo shot a look at her.

"What?" Victoria giggled again. Jemima shook her head. "Who is it?" Jemima asked.

"Tugger."

Once Jemima was gone, Tugger went wild. "ARGH! Why does it have to be Jemima? I already had Victoria as a competition. Now Jemima? My own niece?" Tugger growled. He went back to his den, furious. As he passed by the clear, he saw all the kittens playing excluding Quaxo, Jemima and Victoria. He didn't mind that fact and headed to his den.

Once inside, he saw Bombalurina on his bed, serious. "Yes?" Tugger asked.

"You didn't answer my question. What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Tugger sighed. "Please. Go."

"No. I won't go. Tell me what's wrong. I'm your best friend. I can sense it when something's bothering you." Tugger sighed.

"You see, I… uh… have this friend. He has a love problem. He likes someone, but that someone's a tom. And I▬he, doesn't know what to do. If that tom likes him back or something." Bombalurina's eyes widened at the thought.

"Is that tom who likes a tom… you?" Bombalurina asked. Tugger looked down, blushing and nodded. Bombalurina sighed. "Who is it?"

"Quaxo." Bombalurina gasped.

Yeah. I know. It's short. R&R :D
