Mistoffolees stood grandly in the centre of the junkyard, surrounded by wide-eyed jellicles waiting exitedly for his final trick.
'I'll need an assistant!'
The younger kittens' paws shot into the air, followed by a harmony of "me me meeee"s. He eventually picked Cassandra, much to kittens' dismay.
Cassandra walked gracefully to the centre of the junkyard & Mistoffolees conjured a red sheet from the reflective lights of the TSE 1 & began to start the trick ..
* * *
Tugger tore his lips from Bombalurina's 'What the hell was that ?'
'Who cares.' replied Bombalurina & pulled Tugger's head down to meet hers again.
* * *
Mistoffolees covered Cassandra in the red sheet & muttered a few words under his breath while controlling the sheet with his hands. He pulled the sheet away quickly & she was gone!
The Jellicles gasped & clapped, 'But where is Cassandra?!' piped up Pouncival.
Mistoffolees smiled cheekily & leapt onto the top of the TSE 1. He moved his hands to control the upward movement of the bonnet & did not receive the reaction he had hoped for when the spot Cassandra should have been was unveiled.
Tugger & Bombalurina turned slowly around to meet the eyes of the Jellicle tribe. Jenny gasped & covered the kittens' eyes & Plato & Admetus giggled in the corner, signing a high five to Tugger.
Mistoffolees popped his head down to see what was going on & went beetroot when he saw Tugger & Bombalurina lying together in the car.
The junkyard fell silent in shock until Bombalurina grabbed Tugger's hand & pulled him up 'TA-DAAAA!' she cried & they both jumped down from the car & bowed in front of the Jellicles. Mistoffolees sighed in relief, but cringed at their excuse & threw his hands in the air & smiled.
The jellicles laughed & clapped at the trick that they believed Mistoffolees had played on them & laughed & cheered at the couple. The couple grinned & held hands walking across the junkyard, waving to the other Jellicles. 'What just happened?' Tugger whispered through gritted teeth, still smiling. 'I don't know, but it was worth it.' Bombalurina winked at Tugger & stroked his ass with her tail which made him jump & purr seductively.
Demeter & Munkustrap gave eachother concerned glances & laughed at their siblings who managed to get away with the whole thing.
'I'm glad they're together.' said Demeter.
'Me too. They've seemed to have tamed eachother .. at last!' chuckled Munkustrap & watched the couple walk into the darkness.
* * *
The couple got to the entrance of the junkyard & held eachother.
'You wanna stay with me tonight? My owner's are away.'
'I'd love to.'
Tugger picked Bombalurina up in a fire-man's lift & carried her home.
* * *
They reached Tugger's house & he opened the cat-flap & guestured for her to go in first.
'Welcome home, baby.' he said, putting his arm around her.
Bombalurina gazed around the house, taking in the surroundings & turned to smile at Tugger.
Tugger lead her into the living room & they lay together on the leather couch watching the fire blaze amazingly infront of them. Bombalurina snuggled into Tugger's mane & Tugger rubbed his nose against hers. Tugger knew it tickled Bombalurina & she broke into a fit of giggles.
'Tugger!'
'Whaaat ?!' he cried, looking at her innocently.
Bombalurina leapt off the couch & turned & raised her eyebrow at him. 'You know what!'
'You're hot when you get angry.'
Bombalurina scowled, but smiled mischieviously when Tugger stretched out on the sofa & raised his eyebrow at her suggestively. She jumped back onto the couch & crawled onto Tugger looking directly at him, her eyes filled with sensuousness, the fire making her scarlet fur sparkle. 'Hot when i'm angry? You couldn't handle me.' she said, spinning a tuft of Tugger's mane around her paw playfully. Tugger swept her under him & lay on top of her & whispered into her ear 'Try me.'
* * *
The morning sun shone into the room & Bombalurina woke up, warm in Tugger's arms. She smiled & stretched a little & turned round so that they were face to face. She cuddled back into his mane, resting her head on his shoulder & fell asleep.
Tugger inhaled suddenly & awoke when there was fur in his nose. He looked down & saw Bombalurina sleeping soundly, cuddled into his shoulder. He smiled & stroked her face comfortingly, as he settled back into his spot.
'I love you Bombalurina.'
'I love you too.' she whispered.
