Now, this is where things get REALLY GOOD.

Up next is some dancing, more dancing, impressing the queens, and then the mating dance! But first, dancing. You know, I never really ever was told how music plays in the junkyard when there's no electricity. And furthermore (sounding smart again!), how are there even lights out here?

Oh well, must not question it!

First, we danced the stuff we rehearsed for weeks on end (my paws hurt thinking about it), but I knew once this was over it was freestyle! Freestyle is such a cool word...

Well, we waved our hips, acting all mysterio like, and then the lights went out. We all ducked to the floor, and the lights slowly faded back on. We all began to roll our arms in a motion. I was counting. Victoria. Bombalurina (smoking hot i'm in love). Demeter. Rumpleteazer. Etcetera. Coricopat. Admetus. Munkustrap. My turn! I threw my body up straight and pointed my paw up to the sky. Then I ducked backed down. Nailed it!

Next, we split up into four groups, each doing a different dance. Ugh, that made it sound like we were in school. From what Jessie says about it, it can't be good! My group, we kicked our legs into the air, spun, then turned our backs away from Old Dueteronomy (who, by the way was sitting on the tire and obviously LOVING my performance!) and swayed our bottoms side to side. We must have looked hot!

Then, we all acted like we were sensing things, twisting our heads and such and looking around quickly. Made my head hurt! Everyone (minus some wimps) ran to the center. I tripped a little on my way there and bumped into Tumblebrutus. I looked up with everyone else and craned my head across the sky. Ooh, pretty stars....ROAR! Ha! Just put on my mean face and scared the crap out of you!

Okay, now that all that choreographed crap is done, time to do things our way!

Of course, everyone else left the dance floor to make room for the proffesionals. Well, actually, it was just me, Quaxo, and Alonzo. Quaxo was doing all sorts of fancy twists while Alonzo was dancing like a fish, looking like he was swimming. Don't know why, cats hate water! Quaxo jumped over to him and tapped his paw, then Alonzo started dancing. Quaxo gave me an encouraging look, and then I started dancing with them. Hey, acrobatics are fun!

Hey, hey, Alonzo, don't go flirting with Bombalurina! She's mine! Good, now just dance away from here, while I do this twirl in the air thing.

Suddenly, Tumblebrutus came flying out of nowhere, and did two backflips, and a third one without even touching the ground. Wow, impressive! I looked over at Alonzo. He kind of had a proud look on his face, but then he smirked and danced mockingly at his son. Tumblebrutus did it right back. I decided to mess with him, and we mock-danced at him with Alonzo (me and Quaxo I mean). Hey, Bomby's here! Quickly thinking, I started swinging my hips seductively. Oh, man, she's flirting with Alonzo again!

Oh, cool, Cassandra's here! Alonzo offered her a hand, and she took it, and they started to tango. Heh, finally, man! Me, Tumble, and Quaxo ran to the back and started doing more flips and spins. I sneaked a look at Bomby. Oh, man, she's looking back at me! SHE WINKED! I started to spin in happiness, luckily Tumble and Quaxo were doing the same thing.

When we landed, Bombalurina suddenly appeared in front of me, and she was doing her own dance. Hey! Maybe she finally decided to dance with me! I started to dance sexily again, this time turning around and shaking my butt. But when I turned around I saw that Cassandra and Etcetera, and then Demeter and Tantomile all joined her. Oh, man! Dejected, I sat down on the tire.

Grr. Tugger's dancing with Bombalurina again! She must have danced with him like TEN TIMES so far tonight, and yet she said she would dance with me and I've gotten zip! Oh well, might as well check out the others. Coricopat and Tantomile....ew. Moving on! Plato and...Demeter? Oh well, I guess a son can dance with his mom, even if the mom hates the son. Admetus and Cassandra? Jeez, my brother looks like a spaz! Alonzo, meanwhile, just looked bored with Etcetera. ACK! Tugger and Bombalurina almost ran me over!

I huffed, and then jumped down and joined Electra, Teazer, Jerrie, Vicky, Asparagus, Dad, Jemima, and Exotica in a dance. I looked up and saw Quaxo and Tumble doing more ballerina-stuff. I was going to make fun of them for that sometime, I knew that.

We all started spinning, but when I looked up I saw Old D was there. He was raising his arms and saying "Stop!". Oh shit. That means...it was time for the mating dance.

I quickly looked around. I may have not danced with Bomba yet, but I was determined to get her to do the mating dance with me. I had to, I've been bragging about it! But Bomba was nowhere to be found, strangely.

I tried to run off and find her, but suddenly my tail was yanked and I fell on my butt. "Stay and watch!" Jellylorum told me. I groaned, but complied. So much for that...then, I became interested. Victoria was the only queen coming of age this year. I wonder who would approach her.

Of all people, Plato. Now, this surprised me. Plato and Victoria NEVER talked, not once! I thought she hated him too. Poor Plato, I had thought, two queens hating him at once, one his mother! But here they were about to do the MATING dance. You know, the mating dance is pretty much just having sex in front of everyone else?

Now, with Plato and Victoria, it was actually pretty...hot. Plato nuzzled her stomach and she flinched, but then she became relaxed and moved forward. Plato turned her around and gently stroked her back as he began the....giggle...mating process...and Victoria arched her back in pleasure. Soon, Plato lifted her up and stroked her leg as he held her.

That's when everyone else moved towards them. I knew it-this was my last chance! My last chance!

I looked around furiously. Oh, God, everyone is getting partnered up already! Where is she?!

Oh man. Bombalurina isn't here.

God, Pouncival, you're so stupid! How could you think Bombalurina would want to mate with you? You're only freaking a kitten! I sighed, trying not to let tears fall. I was stupid, thinking she would dance with me. Still, I did a handstand, to show a queen was to approach me.

I felt a hand run down my stomach. It was cold, but it made me feel warm. I wondered who it could be. Electra? Cetty? Maybe I got stuck with Tantomile or Exotica...

But when I flipped down and looked at the Queen, I could have fainted.

It was Bombalurina! "Bomb..." I asked, shocked. Bombalurina just laughed and moved her arms onto mine, and then onto my hips. I gasped slightly, because her touch was....just wonderful. I looked at her. "Bomby," I said, but couldn't say anything else. "Yes?" she asked, moving me onto my back. "You-you" I stuttered. "I said I would dance with you," she said. "But I didn't say which dance!" she reminded me.

Oh God. This was happening. Bombalurina, the Red Queen of the Junkyard, had chosen me to....mate. Oh, man, I was thrilled.

Slowly, Bombalurina arched herself off me and rubbed her hips against mine. I did another handstand, before slowly lowering myself to the ground. Bombalurina turned onto her stomach and stuck her bottom into the air. It enchanted me and turned me on like a lightbulb at the same time. As she lowered herself, a swung my leg over her, so I was on top. I traced her back and butt, feeling her. She turned around, looking up at me with a glorious smile. I lowered myself onto her, and now we were in a complete embrace.

"Bomb..." I could only say as I.....began.

"Pounce!" she gasped. It was incredible. For my first time. Even though I knew a bunch of other couples were doing the same thing all around me. What wierd customs we Jellicles have..

Before I knew it, it was over. We were done. I had mated with Bombalurina. "Wow," I said. She smiled. "Satisfied?" she asked. I nodded, maybe a little too enthusiastically, and captured her mouth in a kiss. (I got that out of a romance novel).

Then, I rolled onto my side, and we both crawled slowly to the others. Typically, after mating, all our bodies were tired. I was SOOO ready for a nice catnap. As Bombalurina curled into my chest (incredible), I decided to look to see who had ended up with who. On my left side was Coricopat and Exotica. Huh, not much of a surprise there. Oh, wow, it looks like Tantomile joined them. I guess that's okay, I think her mate Genghis was at home with a broken foot. Next to them, I saw...Quaxo and Electra! Ooh, Tumblebrutus and Jemima were curled up next to them. Sweet, Tumble you did it! Oh, look, Etcetera chose Admetus. I was pleased to see Alonzo was wrapped around Cassandra. Now, then came Mom and....

TUGGER?!?! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!

Wait, where was Dad? EW, HE'S WITH PLATO AND VICTORIA! Thank the Everlasting Cat Teazer and Jelly were with Jerrie and Asparagus like they should be! What was wrong with them?! Oh, and Demeter and Munkustrap had mated on my other side. Huh. Wonder what Demeter was going to think of her sister mating with me.

Suddenly, Bomby purred into my chest, and I forgot everything, then fell into a comfortable sleep....with pleasent dreams, and a beautiful woman wrapped in my paws.
