Recovering

[Arya]

Cassie looked at the two toms. Niether of them smiled at her. She guessed she would just have to work them both at once. That was always fun. The let out another laugh and looked at Tumble. "I'm sorry but it was pretty funny." She said laughing a bit again. She steped beside Plato. "And I must admit I'm pretty sure he did scare you." She said looking at Plato. She smiled faintly at them both. "But I do think that Tumble would hold up a fight against you Plato." She added glancing at Tumble.

[[scean]]

Plato glanced over at Cassandra again, blinking slowly. "Ha, no way. Tumble's not a fighter, are ya, Tumbley?" he joked, leaning over and nudging the younger tom in the arm. "Nah, I'd so beat Tumble in a fight." Plato crossed his arms over his chest, then leapt onto the post beside his brother, nudging him off and laughing again. "See there?"

[Munkustrap Etc.]

Tumble tumbled, shaking his head. "I am too a fighter! I'm just not going to hit an injured cat." He lifted his nose. "I, at least, was uninjured in the battle with Macavity." He smiled over at Cassandra. "Thanks for supporting me, Cassandra."

[[scean]]

Plato rolled his eyes and crossed his legs at the knees, grinning down at Tumble. "You grabbed Quaxo and ran. I, at least, fought." he pointed out, pointing a paw at his brother and laughing again. "What are you doing out here, anyway, Tumble?" he asked, glancing around. "It's boring out here."

[Munkustrap Etc.]

"I helped fight!" Tumble protested, reaching up to tug Plato's tail. "I helped Munkustrap!" He shook his head. "And I'm the hole-guard tonight. Alonzo posted me here, again. I know it's boring, but it's important. The Monniks aren't our only foes."

Bombalurina returned the smile to Munkustrap, trying to ignore the fact her stomach was hurting very badly. She felt sick.

"Excuse me," she said, wriggling out of Jemima's hold. "I think I need to see Jellylorum. I don't feel so good..."

Jemima was a bit annoyed when Bomba let go of her, but when Bomba started saying she was sick, the kitten said, "Are you okay? Maybe you gotsa food... algeragy, like me?"

Bombalurina shrugged. "Maybe." The queen too off to the nursery dresser in search of dear Jelly.

[Arya]

Cassandra chose which one when Tumble smiled at her. "I wouldn't be so cocky if I where you." She said placing a long arm over Tumble's shoulder. She glanced at Tumble. "No problem." She said smiling then looked at Plato. "Afterall since he is smaller he is quicker. Which means that he has strength and speed. Isn't that a good combination for battles?" She said lifting up her chin proudly. She sighed. "I wish I had strength instead of speed." She said still smiling.

Plato again rolled his eyes and shook his head, crossing his arms over his chest and leaning back against the fence. "There hasn't been anything through here in ages, Tumbley." he said, smirking at his little brother. "I can't believe you don't get completely bored up here."

He turned to look at Cassandra and laughed again. "Cassandra, I could so take Tumble down in a fight. Admit it!"

[Munkustrap Etc.]

Tumble looked nervously at Cassandra's arm and then up at Plato - what did you do in this situation!? "It is a little boring, but I just keep reminding myself that it's an important job."



Dun dun. Dun dun. Dun dun dun dun dun dun... Etcetera was stalking her prey again, currently crouched on Pouncival's favorite rocking chair. From this vantage point, she could see Munkstrap, Jemima, Pouncival, and Mistokitty. Who to attack, who to attack... Munkstrap! "BARKBARKBARKRAWR!" she screamed, jumping toward Munkstrap.

[Shannon]

Jemima giggled. "Etcy!" she yelled, laughing. She was happy to see her friend, and now had someone to play with.

[[scean]]

Quaxo opened one eye as he heard the "roar" of Etcetera's. He saw who she was attacking, and he gasped, his eyes widened. The tom quickly sat up, jumping toward Etcetera and grabbing her just before she landed on Munkustrap, pulling her into his lap. "Etcy, no attacking Munk." he murmured, petting her head softly and laughing quietly. "He's ouchied."

Plato saw how nervous Tumble looked and let out another laugh, throwing his head back. "Tumble, what're you so nervous about?" he asked, smirking at the younger tom and jumping from the post to land beside the others.

[Shannon]

“Jellylorum!” Bombalurina called, climbing into the dresser.

“What is it, Bomba?” the older cat said, coming from around a corner. “I have kittens sleeping still.”

“Sorry,” Bomba whispered, “but I need your help. I feel really, really sick.”

Jelly pursed her lips. “Hmm… let’s see. Have you been eating anything strange?”

Bomba shook her head. “Nope. Same diet as always.”

“Have you had anything to drink that was strange?”

Bomba shook her head no again.

“Had any dry cat food from humans?”

Bomba shook her head. “Not since my human died.”

“Okay, then, well, have you been around any sick cats?”

“Jemima, but you can’t catch food poisoning.”

“Right, right,” Jelly said. “Well, I can’t think of any reason for you to be sick. Except…”

“What is it, Jelly?” Bomba asked.

“Have you mated recently?”

[Munkustrap Etc.]

Etcetera squealed as Mistokitty caught her, giggling and reaching for Munkstrap, who had actually looked frightened for half a second as the kitten plummeted toward him. "Whee!" She gasped, though, and turned to stare at Mistokitty. "Oh no! I forgots!" She squirmed free and leaned forward to kiss Munkstrap's cheek. "I's sorry, Munkstrap!" Apologies made, she tumbled over to Jemima's side and gave her sister a hug. "Hi-hi! Whatcha doin? I looks for you EVERYWHERE!" She actually hadn't, but the way she remembered it, she most certainly had!

"Thanks," Munkustrap mouthed to Quaxo, relaxing on the car again.


"I'm not nervous," Tumblebrutus responded quickly, scowling at Plato. Older brothers! Who needed them?

[Arya]

Cassandra lifted a brow."No I think that Tumble would win." She stated leaning on Tumble more. "I think that he is stronger then you Plato." She said smiling devishly.

[Shannon]

Jemima giggled. "Let's go pretend we is Pollicles!"

The calico kitten jumped from the car to the ground and did her best impression of a dog. "Roar! Rawr! Grr! Grr Grr! Grrrr!"
