Pouncival and Jemima
It's pretty hard to talk to girls. With the guys, it's so easy. I'm not bad at talking with them, but that doesn't mean I'm not trying super hard to not sound stupid. Girls are just confusing. I don't know what they want - ever. I mean, I know they want the perfect tom who will love them and make them feel pretty, but it's the little things. How am I suppose suggest food without making it seem like she's fat? None of them are fat! Or how am I suppose to say something without making them think I'm a jerk? I don't want to be a jerk! And most of all, how on earth am I going to ask one of them to Prom?
The guys all know who I want to ask - Jemima. She's just so beautiful, and so adorable and innocent. Thankfully everyone knows we're going together (except for Jemima). Plato, Addie, and Tumbles plan to ask other cats and the only other people who might go with her are Alonzo, but he says she's all mine, and Tugger, but he says he's bringing a hot queen from outside the tribe. The only thing I have to do now is ask her to Prom.
I'm really excited, and I'm scared. I'm short and kind of big. Plato is tall and strong and really mature looking. Tumbles is tall and the queens call him cute. Though what about me? I'm taller than Jemima, but she's just so much more attractive and perfect than me. She's gonna say no...
But - I should still give it a shot.
I had a brilliant idea, too. I ask Misto to help me.
"I'm going to ask Jemima to Prom," I told him.
"Really? That's so cute. How are you going to do it?"
I told him my plan and he agreed to do it. Then I got Etcy and Electra and Vicki to get Jemima for me once my idea was all set up. The four of them along with Plato, Tumbles, Addie, and myself stood around, acting like we didn't know what was going on.
In lights (that Misto was controlling from behind) were lit at the top of the back of a metal slab. It said, "Jemima, who will you go to Prom with?" and then below were the names of multiple people who were going to Prom. "Pull to find out!" was lit up in the middle with an arrow pointing to a fake lever on the side. She pulled the lever, looking gorgeous with her smile, and Plato and Addie's names disappeared. She pulled again, and then Tugger and Alonzo's names disappeared. She pulled once more, and Munk's and Tumbles's names disappeared, leaving mine there.
She turned to me, smiling big. "Pouncival?"
"So," I said, smiling sheepishly. "Do you want to go to Prom with me?"
She giggled and nodded. "Of course I do," she said and threw her arms around my neck, surprising me.
She said yes! I hugged her back and swung her around as everyone cooed over us. I couldn't wait until Prom. Hopefully, we can have our first kiss, too, and maybe everything else will just fall into place.
I think Jemima and Pouncival are just so cute! And the stunt Pouncival did was an idea I read about. You take a dry-erase board, write "Who will you go to Prom with? Erase to find out!" on it in permanent marker. Then you write the names of potential people that could ask that person out, but write your name in permanent marker. So when he/she swipes the eraser across the board, your name is left! So cute ^..^
Review please :)
