Hey, Bitches! D'aaawwww, I'm just kidding, I love you guys! Anyway, today is a big update night for me. I think I'm going to delete 'Guns of Summer' and 'The Open Door'. A lot of new stories are really exciting at first, but then I decide against it later. So these are the only stories I will be working on

Jellicle High
Daddy Dearest
Welcome to Camp Jellicle
Time Consumer: The Story of the Broadway Rejects (New!)

Only 4 stories. I find that easy enough, so let's do this! I deleted the following…they were getting in my way and I knew I couldn't be bothered now.

Most Humble Servant (May be Revived)
Volairia (Remaking)
Wild Side
Home Sweet Home
Welcome to Romance
Far From Home
There are probably more, but these are ones I remembered off the top of my head.

Oh, and theres a delay on my Youtube series…so I'll get back to you on that. Anyways, here is more Daddy Dearest! (This is longer, because I'm switching between Munkustrap and Tugger and Demeter, to Pouncival and Jemima.) Enjoy, and REVIEW!

(Ohhh, and this is now a Monday. I know I said that Jemima and Pouncival would be at Jenny's house, but this is going to start with their school day that took place during the latter part of the last chapter. The practice date will take place next chapter, as this one will be long.)

…Earlier That Day, at Jellicle Elementary…

Jemima sifted through her little Hello Kitty backpack, looking for a box of crayons. It was a few minutes before class, and the children were all talking to themselves around the classroom while Demeter gathered her things together for today's lessons. The classroom was large. The door opened to a small little art table with easels along it, and a small guinea pig in a cage on a tiny paint shelf. Behind the shelf was a large colorful rug with numbers and letterss decorating it. The whiteboard was to the far side of the classrooms, along with four grouped tables. Demeter's desk was in a far corner, where she skimmed through her teacher's book, happily watching the children play.

Once she found her crayons, she skipped over to the Blue Group, at a pentagon shaped table, five chairs around it. She looked happily at her name, written on a lively colorful desk sticker. The first day of school, everyone was told to write their names on them. She looked towards the door to see her best friend walk inside, clumsily looking through his backpack as he made his way over to the Blue Group, running into people on his way. Jemima smiled brightly at him as he sat next to her at their large group desk, adjusting his black-framed glasses.

"Hey, Jemi."
"Hiya, Pounce! What's wrong?"
"I don't like it here. The bullies are gonna get us!"

She frowned slightly, laying a gentle, tiny paw on his shoulder, "I don't either, Pounce. We'll have to be careful-er!" He blushes slightly at her touch as she giggled lightly. Victoria, Etcetera, and Tumblebrutus soon filed in to complete the Blue Group as the bell rang. Demeter walked to the front of the room, smiling warmly.

"Good morning, Class."

A loud mix of scattered voices chattered back a variety of 'Good morning, Miss Demeter!', which made her smile even more. She began her lessons on Homophones, showing the class words like 'bear' and 'bare', 'hair' and 'hare', and 'ate' and 'eight'. Jemima and Pouncival were already working on their practice book page as she taught, holding tri-write pencils, exchanging answers and giggles. Eventually, they finished first racing towards the 'Done!' box, and went to the big rub, pulling out a tub of building blocks.

"Let's make a…a- um…"
"Let's build a castle!"
"Good idea, Jem!"

The bullies looked at them from the Green group with jealousy. They always finished first, and got to play first… Popuncival put a good square of blocks on the bottom before Jemima stacked up walls carefully, not wanting to drop them, and scatter everything. Soon, more kids finished and played with things like puzzles and puppets. By then, the castle ws almost complete. They both reached for the cone shaped block to make the fourth and final tower, and landed hand-in-hand on it. Pouncival blushed slightly again, letting her take the piece.

"Done!"

They admired it for a minute. Jemima had her paws together, and brung up to one side of her head in an act of endearment. Pouncival grinned at it, staring it over as he high fived Jemima, and then they smiled widely at eachother. "One…two…THREE!" They pushed it over as it landed in a big heap, before putting it away in the box as the bell rung for recess. They frowned at eachother,

"If we go…go to the trees, the bullies won't get us!"
"Great idea, Pouncie!"

They ran quickly over to the trees, ducking behind a large oak. Pouncival edged up the tree to peek over it, as Jemima backed up in fear behind him. He smiled, "I don't think they are-". He felt himself being cornered by three large boys that got held back, and were much older than he was. He shivered slightly, "LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"Your such a nerd-o, Pouncival!"
"Stop! My glasses!"

The big, fat tom-kit took the glasses off his face and threw them down, stepping on them. The lenses broke as Pouncival shuddered. Jemima stepped up, "LEAVE HIM ALONE, YOU BIG MEANIE!" The bully, pushed her into the dirt before running off laughing, the two others following suit, close behind. Pouncival gathered the broken remains of the glasses as Jemima stared at her scraped elbow, a small tear escaping her eye. He frowned, walking over to her, seeing the basic shape of his best friend, vision incredibally blurry without his glasses.

"Are you okay, Jemi?"
"Y-Yeah… Let's go tell Demeter your glasses got broked!"

He nodded sadly, holding the destroyed spectecles in one paw. He smiles slightly, taking her paw with his other. She giggled, swinging their arms as they walked across the schoolyard to their classroom. Sure enough, Demeter was at her desk, typing up emails and sorting her studies book, sipping coffee from a small red mug. The two walked him, catching Demeter's eye, She turned her swivel chair, looking at them in concern as they walked towards her.

"What happened to you two?"

She gasped as Pouncival handed her the broken glasses with his head hung low. Jemima, crossed her arms, "The bullies are big MEANIES! They took his glasses and crush-ded them on the ground!" Pouncival nodded, staying silent. His friend did more of the talking. He sighed.

"Oh, no! It's a good thing we still have backup's at the house… Can you see, Pouncival?"
"No…not r-really."

She frowned before smiling at the pair, and picking up her cell phone, dialing the 9 for speed dial. It rung…and rung. Before a voice answered, "Y'ello?"

"Munkustrap?"
"Demeter?"
"Yeah, I need a favor."

Pouncival and Jemima eyed eachother. Jemima giggled at his eyes, still dilating to adjust, "You look funny without your glasses, Pounce!" He chuckled, poking her shoulder, "And you look funny WITH them!"

"What do you need?"
"A couple of a-…"meanies" broke Pouncival's glasses and Jemima's arm pretty bad."
"Are they okay?"

Jemima giggled back, poking his chest. They began to poke eachother happily, Pouncival missing her a few times due to his bad vision.

"Yep, they're okay. If you could, could you take them to get Pouncival's backup glasses at the house? You can take Jem too."
"Yeah, it's almost lunchtime, anyway, my shifts over. I'll just come get them."
"Thanks."
"I'll be there for them out front in ten…"
"Okay…bye."
"Bye!"

She looked at the two and their poking battle, smiling, "Jemima, your Daddy is coming to get you and Pouncival. He's going to get your glasses from the house, and you two will just be with him for today. Is that alright?" Jemima and Pouncival thought for a minute, Jemima spoke up, "Aww, but isn't today science ectepieriment day?"

"Experiment day? No, tomorrow."
"Yay! Come on Pouncie!"
"D'okay!"

The two kids rushed towards the front of the school while Demeter called the office to notify their absence, smiling as she heard they're loud laughs and giggles down the hall.

They made it to the front lawn of the school and sat on the grass, waiting excitedly for Munkustrap to show up. Pouncival rubbed his eyes several times while Jemima hummed quietly. But eventually she suddenly hugged him. He blushed again, looking at her with a smile, "Hee hee, what was that for?"

"We don't have to see the bullies today!"
"Oh…Oh yeah! That's right!"
"And because you're my bestestest friend!"
"And you're my bestestestest- umm… est!- friend!"

She laughed at his silliness, "I love ya, Pouncie!" He smiles widely, "I love you too, Jem!". They stood around for a while before Jemima poked his shoulder, "I'll race you around the yard!" He started running as soon as she said that. She gasped, "No fair! You got a head start!"

"Ready, set, go!"

Aww, kitten fluff! I'm glad to be back, and I'm typing up a Jellicle High and Camp Jellicle later, so I hope you're around for it! I love you all, and I'm sorry for affectionately calling you 'bitches', but don't take it in an offending way. We're all bitches! Hooray for us!
