Mutual Attraction

Alright, so I've made my first ever CatDog fanfic...

Let me ask; How come I've only seen 2 fics (unless I misread the summary of one and skipped it over) about Cat/Dog as a pairing? C'mon! It has a pairing name BUILT into the title! You gotta admit that, with all the emotions they hold to one another, it's hard NOT to ship them. Unless you're a yaoi hater. I hate yaoi haters.

YES I DID JUST SAY THAT. Anyone who bullies or hates anyone else who is gay or supports gays is no better than THE GREASERS. Yeah THAT'S RIGHT PUNKS. BAM. Take that! You wanna be Greaser-wannabes, be my guest. I however prefer to be closer to Dog or Lola or someone NICE.

And if you flame for this pairing, I will simply laugh and say 'Which of the Greasers are you pretending to be?!'

That aside, I'm going to explain a bit about my OC, Kathy the human...

She lives in a tiny handbuilt hut just near CatDog's home. She's generally cold, uncaring and shy. No one knows anything about her except her name. CatDog know her birthday, but she refuses to celebrate. She throws their gifts into the garbage if they give her one. In front of them too.

She has brown hair with brunette highlights, and it goes down to her chest. She generally wears a pink and red woven hat that covers her ears regardless of weather, and she also wears black plactic rectangle shaped glasses over her hazel eyes. She usually wears a black tee shirt with a yarn vest-sweater thing that matches her hat, blue jeans and red converse sneakers. She has a line of freckles across the bridge of her nose and a birthmark on the back of her neck that, when you look at it properly, looks like a cat.

I do not own CatDog.

CatDog walked out of their house, Cat in front to check the mail. As he opened up the mailbox he spotted Kathy nearby checking her mail.

"Hey Kathy! What's up?" he called, already knowing that he wouldn't give a response. But, to his surprise, Kathy looked up and held a flyer up, presumably from her mailbox. Her expression was unreadable.

"Talent Show. You gonna enter?" she called, though from the distance and her shyness it almost sounded like a whisper. Nonetheless, Cat heard. He flipped through the mail until he came upon his own flyer. It was in two days...

"What do you think Dog? There's a big cash prize, but I don't know that we've got any talent, and I really doubt we can fake that" he said to his other half. Dog looked at the flyer, reading it.

"Uhh... Does being beat up by the Greasers on a daily basis count as a talent?" Dog tried. Cat rolled his eyes and was about to say 'Never mind' when he heard an... Unusual sound...

He looked in the direction, and saw Kathy, with a smile. That's when Cat realized that Kathy had just giggled. Soon after he realized this however, Kathy looked away sadly.

"Comedy act. Do that" she muttered, and Cat barely caught the words this time. Before he could ask if she would enter, Kathy had darted back into her tiny straw, stone and mud hut. Dog looked at Cat with excitement.

"Did ya hear that Cat?! I'm so funny that Kathy smiled for a second! We should enter, I bet we'd win!" Dog began running inside, dragging poor Cat behind him.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

The next day were the auditions. When CatDog went outside to head to the park, they sure didn't expect to see Kathy there waiting for them in their yard. She was wearing a black turtleneck in place of her tee shirt, and had the collar pulled up just below her nose.

"Hey Kathy! What's with the turtleneck?" Cat asked as the pair headed down to see her. Kathy jumped slightly and turned to CatDog nervously.

"Nothing... I just... Nothing" she shook her head and started to walk. CatDog got the message and fell in step next to her.

"So, what are you gonna be doing for the show?" Dog asked after a few minutes of awkward silence.

"...Sing" Kathy replied softly. CatDog was impressed.

"Original or copyrighted?" Cat asked, wondering in his mind if he could be her manager.

"Original for the audition, but I haven't decided for the actual show" Kathy answered. She shoved her hands into the large pockets of her sweater as the park came into view. The three could tell, from the large crowd, that this Talent Show would have some big competition.

Cat groaned and Kathy sighed as they stood at the back of the line. There had to be two hundred freaking people ahead of them! They would probably never-

"Kathy?! Is that you?!"

A distant call made Kathy's eyes widen as she looked in the direction it came from. Quickly, she pretended to be someone else by not responding in any way.

"Kathy, c'mon! I know it's you, I recognise that hat!"

Kathy groaned in defeat. She looked down to CatDog for a moment.

"You're coming" she stated, and without any further explaination, or letting them protest, she grabbed Cat by the back of his neck and dragged them about 125 places further up the line.

When she stopped, she dropped Cat, pulled down her collar and spoke to the girl.

"Hi Diane"

This 'Diane' girl beamed. CatDog could tell that Kathy was tense. Who was this girl?

She seemed fairly nice. She had the same hair and eye color as Kathy, except her hair was cut to her jawline and she didn't have glasses. She wore a blue and white version of Kathy's hat and vest, a white tee shirt, black jeans, and blue converse sneakers.

"Hey Sis! What's going on? Are you living here now?! I never would've guessed!" Diane, unlike Kathy, spouted words like a fountain.

"Wait, Sis?!" Cat exclaimed. Diane took a pause before putting on a mock offended face.

"You mean you've never told them you have a twin?! I am appalled!"

Kathy rolled her eyes and muttered a small 'Sorry' under her breath, though CatDog could tell she didn't mean it. Diane, however, didn't pick up on this and grinned.

"Oh, okay! I suppose I forgive you!"

Kathy and CatDog stayed in line with Diane, knowing that if they left they'd be forced to the back again.

"Where's Shannon?" Kathy asked after they had moved about 20 spaces.

"Oh, she's here! She's in the seated crowd waiting to give me encouragement!" Diane answered with a grin. Kathy nodded.

"Who's Shannon?" CatDog asked.

"Shannon was a girl Diane hung out with, even though she also bullied me a lot" Kathy said the last part with a glare directed to Diane. Diane fell silent, and her grin dropped from her face. This seemed to be the reaction Kathy wanted, as she smirked to herself. CatDog looked at each other in confusion. These two didn't seem to be great friends...

I'm gonna stop the chapter here... :P

Anyway the idea is that Kathy and Diane used to have a relationship like CatDog. Best of friends; Occasionally getting on each others' nerves. Wanna know what caused Kathy leave Diane wherever she was? Why Kathy is so cold and distant? Or why Kathy didn't seem too happy to see Diane?

Stay tuned to find out!
