a/n: So, after all the angst, I figured I should have a nice, fluffy chapter, despite all my instincts to have this as the coup de grace for this fic. I figured it would be just too sadistic for it to be the ultimate in angst. Anyways, here's the end, read, review and all that jazz.

"Hey, EC," I called as I noticed the Everlasting Cat strolling past me here in Heavyside.

"Yes, Rumpleteazer?" EC replied with a small smile. Usually I hated it when people called me by my full name, yet for some reason I didn't mind so much when EC did it.

"Is it true that Jerrie's coming to Heavyside today?" I asked as I started bouncing up and down excitedly. EC smiled larger and cocked an eyebrow.

"Are you really so excited for Mungojerrie to die?" EC asked. I stopped my bouncing and narrowed my eyes slightly at EC.

"I didn't say that. I simply asked if my mate was finally going to join me," I replied. "So, is he?"

"Yes, Mungojerrie will be coming to Heavyside today. He should be here shortly, actually," EC said. I smiled and resumed my excited bouncing.

"I wonder what would have happened in the junkyard! I wonder what he's done with his life. I wonder if he actually went to America and set up a crime ring!" I said as I looked around, wondering where he was. EC smiled and put a paw on my head, forcing me to stand there.

"Calm down," EC said. I nodded. "Mungojerrie's behind you." I turned and saw Jerrie standing there with a smile all over his face.

"Jerrie!" I said as I tackled him. He laughed and pinned me under him.

"I've missed you so much!" Jerrie said.

"So, what are the answers to my questions? I know you heard them," I replied as I pinned him.

"Oh, just shut up and kiss me, Teazer," Jerrie said. Nodding, I blissfully obliged.
