Eh...why is he doing this? I mean, he's only been back for a day and now. "Tom!" I yell pushing him off of me. He looks at me sadly, "Why? Why after all these years? You... and I were friends... and you never once told me that... that you loved me... and then you moved... you moved and you forgot to say goodbye... You bastard!" I say hitting him with every word. "You were the same weren't you." I stop and look at him through tear stained eyes. "What?!"
"You were friends with me and you never told me how you felt. Plus you never said goodbye, you knew when I was moving and you never stopped by my house, to say goodbye." He looks at me and wipes the tears away. "Tom?"
"We're the same." He says and leans for another kiss, "NO!" I slap him. He looks at me holding his hand up to his face shocked. "Ugh, Jer-"
"Tom, you don't get it, we may be the same...no we may have been the same, but we've both changed, we can't just start where we left off there for." I take his hand, "We'll have to start over." I smile at him. "Eh...I guess if that's what you want." I nod and smile at him. He takes out a cigeratte and we sit down and look at the stars. "So your parents still leave you and Nibbles alone?"
"Yah, I've learned to take good care of him on my own, plus it's like I have a little brother."
"So as you've noticed I started smoking, but I'm not a chain - smoker or anything. Well, I am when I get really depressed and upset, actually..."
"Huh?"
"Nevermind. I'm basically the same person as I was when we were kids."
"You're still pretty funny, you still love to tease me, and..."
"And?"
"And you still like to chase me around." I say with a smile. "Jerry?"
"Yah."
"Can I stay the night?"
"What about your parents? Will they be..."
"Is it okay?"
"Uh...yah I guess." I say as I look at him. "You've changed a little." I say looking away. "Eh, how?" I shake my head at this question, "Nothing." I say as I stand. "Huh? Where are you going?" I start to walk away. "Are you heading home?"
"Yeah. Are you coming?" He stands and walks by my side. "Well then let's go." He grabs my hand and I pull away. He tries to grab it again and I do the same thing. This happens the entire way to my house and when we get there he asks, "Why won't you let me hold your hand?!"
"Why are you so persistant?!" I say and the door to the house opens up, "Who the hell is making all of that ruckus?!" My dad yells as he steps out of the house. "Huh? Jerry and...who's this?"
"Tom."
"The Tom, its good to see you son, how've you been?"
"Good sir, can I come in?" He asks and my dad nods as if to say yes and we both walk in. I totally ignore my dad and I grab Tom's hand and we go into my bedroom. "So are we going to sleep in the same bed? Just like when we were kids." He asks smiling. "Uh...well, now we're in high school...but I guess it wouldn't be any different." I say, "Might as well head off to bed now anyways, it is pretty late." I say as I change into my pyjama's. I notice him watching me and I stop and stare at him, only in my boxers. "T-Tom is everything all right?" He blinks several times and says, "Yah, I'm perfectly fine!" He says turning red. I finish getting dressed, then I get under the covers and he follows. "Are you going to sleep in the uniform?"
"Yah."
"Why?"
"I don't have any clothes."
"Then sleep in your boxers."
"What? Weren't you the one who said let's take this slow." I feel my face burn again. "I didn't mean it like that! Gah! You stupid cat!" I say and he wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me close to him. "I may be a stupid cat but you are a mischievious mouse." He says and I can tell he's smirking. "And so the cat fell in love with the mouse. What a stupid mouse." I say. "What a sick, hungry cat." We fall asleep. I awake to the sound of my alarm, when I go to sit up I feel the cat's arms still around me. I hit the alarm and shake him, "Oi...Tom, wake up."
"No...it's to early."
"So what we have to get ready for school."
"Fine." He says as he lets me go, yawns, stretches and gets up. "Heh, you're still the same."
"And so are you." We both laugh. I go brush my teeth, shower, get dressed, and then I go to make breakfast for the three of us. Dad's probably gone anyways, so I won't bother. Nibbles is sitting on the couch watching TV and I go ahead and make breakfast.
At school:
"Eh, so Tom stayed at your place? That's kinda romantic." Spike whispers to me. "Ah, Sonic wait!" I hear Amy cry out loud. "Why don't you ever want to hang out with me?!"
"Truth be told Amy the world is too fast for me to slow down for a relationship."
"Ah, Sonic. I won't stop. Going after you." She says calmly. The teacher walks into the classroom and starts taking attendence. Where the hell is Tom, why is he late? As if to answer my question the classroom door slides open and Tom comes in breathing hard as if he's been running. "Uh...Tom what is the meaning of this?" Mr. Coyote asks. "Jerry, it's your dad, he was in an accident!" He says and everything stops.

AN: I thought since they were two different animals, I would add in the "lion fell in love with the lamb" quote from twilight, but just changing the animals to cat and mouse. :3 chu!
