A/N: Hello my adoring fans! *crickets cheep* huhz…
Musicgal3: Aww, I love Jenny and Skimble! And yes, I have this feeling Sil is sort of creeped out by little Cettie…
Etcetera and Jemima were practicing some of the moves for Rum Tum Tugger's dance, giggling and trying to push each other over. As Sil approached, she was met by a gold and black queen, around Munkustrap's age.
"Hello dear. I'm Demeter, Munkustrap's mate." She said, smiling sweetly.
"Hi! Um… I was wondering if you could come help me talk to Etcetera. She appears to be bothering my brother…" Sil trailed off, and Demeter giggled.
"I'll drag you off if she gets to bothersome. She isn't bad, just excitable." Demeter said. They made their way towards the two giggling kits.
"Um, I want to talk to Etcetera?" Sil asked. The white, yellow and brown kitten stepped forward, grinning. The darker furred, wide eyed queen-kit giggled.
"Hi! You can call me Cettie! Are you Sil?" She asked quickly.
"Yes, I am. I came to ask you about my brother, Dell?" Sil said. Jemima giggled. Etcetera suddenly looked bashful.
"I'm just curious, 'tis all… he's entertaining." Cettie mumbled, and Jemima started laughing louder. Cettie turned around and gave her a look only good friends could possibly read on each other.
"I just want to know why he's so… gloomy. He needs to be more like Rum Tum Tugger…" Etcetera zoned out, and Sil could almost see the little love hearts in her eyes.
"The Who Where Whatter?" Suddenly Alonzo fell off his guard post nearby, falling to the ground and laughing uproariously. Demeter eyed him with speculation while Sil just rolled her eyes, starting to walk off.
"This place is weird." Demeter followed her, and Alonzo's distant chuckles echoed around them.
"Still think of her as a threat?" Demeter asked Sil. She stopped, and leaned in to whisper into Demeter's ear.
"She scares me." Sil stage whispered, and Demeter laughed.
"I'm sure we all agree with you there, sweetie."
Sil fell down onto the pile of blanket with a loud thump, her brother falling next to her nearly a second later.
"Why does this tribe have so many cats in it?" Dell whined. The mystic twins ignored the two, sliding into their own beds and falling asleep.
"Just shut up and go to bed, Valley." Sil said, refusing to let go of the strange nickname. Dell's eye twitched, before they closed and he curled up in a corner.
"Whatever." He fell asleep quickly, as he always did, and Sil waited until she heard three sets of calm breathing before she stood again. It wasn't worth risking the nightmares. The freakish, horrible nightmares.
"Awake again, I see?" Sil turned, seeing a smiling – and fully awake –Tantomile. She grinned nervously.
"I just don't think it's worth risking the nightmares." She said. Tantomile moved over to the piles of books, picking up the one Sil and Coricopat were reading the night before.
"So, shall we leave off where you started, or revise?"
A/N: Aww, Tantomile is nice :p This chapter is like… really short, but I love it anyway (as I do all my chapters). It's another sort of filler chapter, with the exception of Sil meeting Etcetera. It's late and I couldn't be bothered writing more. Ger. Review!
