Kitten Tales
A/N: A collection of events that happened to the kittens as they grew up (I am rubbish at doing accents, so you'll have to use your imagination).

Chapter 1
The two four-week-old toms peeped out from behind their mother and stared at the group of cats that were watching them. They had just started to talk so their parents had decided it was time for then see the outside world. Both kittens' eyes were as wide as saucers.
"Come on you two," Skimbleshanks pushed his children out from behind their mother, "Say hello to everyone."
"Their names are Tumblebrutus and Pouncival," Jennyanydots told the tribe.
Electra and Etcetera (who were roughly the same age) let their curiosity overcome them and they crept up to the two toms. All four kittens stretched out to sniff each other and ended up bumping heads. The tribe chuckled.
"Me Ceter," Etcetera tried to pronounce her name.
"Me Lecer," said Electra.
The two toms looked t each other. Tumblebrutus spoke first, "Butus," followed closely by his brother, "Sifil."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jennyanydots let out a loud screech as Pouncival nearly fell off a rocking chair, much to the delight of Electra and Etcetera; she swung around in time to see Jellylorum catch little Tumblebrutus. Jennyanydots shot after Pouncival with a lot more grace than she knew she had. She grabbed the protesting kitten in her mouth, jumped back to ground level and proceeded to tell him off.
Alonzo came charging into the 'yard, "They've got Demeter back!" he shouted, "You best get the hospital ready, she's in a bad way."
Jellylorum and Jennyanydots watched the black and white tom run off again. The queens gathered up the kittens and took them to the makeshift hospital the two queens ran. The kittens watched as the queens prepared a bed. They gasped in horror as an unconscious gold and black queen was carried in. Munkustrap laid the queen on the bed before slowly walking out, his shoulders slumped.
A red queen came running in, "Demeter!" she gasped before running over to her bed, then the queen burst into tears.
The kittens watched their mothers working. They gasped as they saw the amount of blood being cleaned from Demeter's fur.
Jellylorum glanced up, "What are you four still doing in here? Can someone take them out?"
No, I…" Bombalurina looked up, "I want them to see what…what kind of cat Macavity is."
She signalled for the kittens to join her at the bed.
"Macavity was a Jellicle but he was banished a long time ago. He became twisted and a master criminal," Bombalurina told them, "But while he was here, he started to have feelings for Demeter (feelings you'll understand when you're older), but Demeter had the same feelings for Munkustrap. On the last day, he swore Demeter would be his, she refused. Six months ago, she was cat-napped from her human home, today we found her."
"Why did he cat-nap her," the kittens asked.
"Macavity will stop at nothing to get what he wants, even hurting the one he had feelings for."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The kittens visited Demeter the next day. She was now awake. The queen was very highly-strung and would scream if any of the tribe's toms entered the hospital – even Munkustrap. The kittens would watch a dejected Munkustrap leave the hospital.
The kittens were being looked after by Tumblebrutus' and Pouncival's older brother and sister while their families were busy.
"I wish there was something we could do to make Demeter feel better," Electra sighed.
"Maybe there is, right 'Jerrie?" Rumpelteazer said.
"Right Teazer," Mungojerrie answered and then a puzzled look came over his face, "How?"
Rumpelteazer sighed, "Wait here," she ran off. A few moments later she returned with a sack, she pulled out a load of paper and some crayons, "You can draw her some pictures."
The kittens grabbed the crayons (A/N: don't ask me how they did it, just use your imagination!) and began to draw. Tumblebrutus' tongue stuck out as he concentrated.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The kittens crept into the hospital and up to Demeter's bed. She was talking with her sister.
"Um, Demeter," Etcetera started, "We made some thing for you."
The kittens gave her their drawings, Demeter looked at her sister for help, after all, they were just a bunch of scribbles.
"We drew them specially for you," Pouncival added shyly.
"Thank you, they're…lovely," Demeter said.
"Why are you so fat?" Tumblebrutus blurted out.
Pouncival elbowed his brother, "Ssshhh, you stupid Pollicle."
Demeter smiled, "It's because I'm pregnant."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later that day, Tumblebrutus and Pouncival were sat eating their lunch with their dad while Jennyanydots was busy teaching some mice.
"Dad what's pregnant mean?"
