To Capture a Heart

Chapter 4

I slowly walked out of the den and looked around, most of the cats were out already. Tantomile was next to me, then looked at me and smiled before walking over to Coricopat. As my eyes landed on him, I saw him looking at me. I blushed a little as we made eye contact for a good 10 seconds before Etcetera came up to me, happy and hyper as always. My eyes were torn away from Coriocpat's when Etcetera appeared next to me. "Y/N! Y/N! Lets practice our dance before we set up for the Jellical Ball tomorrow night!" she shouted happily. I thought about it for a minute, can I even dance? I don't want to make a fool of myself. I pushed away my anxiety and smiled at her. "Okay, sure, I'll practice with you." I said calmly. She squealed in happiness and dragged me away over to a group of ladies. The group included: Victoria, Electra, Cassandra, Bomalurina, Demeter, Jemima, Etcetera and myself. The girls all greeted me with smiles and friendly hellos. I smiled and greeted them back. "We're gonna teach you some dance moves okay?" said Etcetera, she  came close to my ear and whispered, "you might be able to use them when you're dancing with Cori," she giggled at her last remark. I blushed shyly and nodded.

We had been practicing for about 2 hours and I think I had it all sorted out. They all complimented me, saying I'm a very good dancer. Maybe I will be able to dance with Coricopat after all. Well, that's if he wants to... I walked over to the ladies den, resting a little from all the dancing. Tantomile came in, not with Coricopat once again, she had a friendly and happy smile on her face. "Hey, Y/N. You looked good out there," she said sweetly. I smiled and thanked her. "You know, Coriocpat was talking about you, saying that you're a brilliant dancer and he just might ask you for the first dance of the Jellical Ball, he's really falling for you Y/N, keep it up," she smiled more and walked back out of the den. My face was completely red. Maybe she's right? Maybe he does like me. I couldn't help but smile. To think that Coricopat, my biggest crush, likes me back! And even wants to dance with me! It is just too good to be true!

I walked back out of the den, after i had finished resting, and saw that everyone was decorating the junkyard so it's perfect for the Jellical Ball. Then, out of nowhere, Tugger walked up next to me, moving his tail under my chin. I immdiately felt uncomfortable. "Hello again, Pretty Kitty," he said in a seductive tone. I groaned a little under my breath. "H-Hello, Tugger," i said shyly. I didn't want to make eye contact, I was way too nervous, i always felt uncomfortable when I was around him. He chucked and moved infront of me so that i would look at him, a smirk on his face. I look up at him, shyly. "So, do you know who you're dancing with tonight?" he said, that smirk still on his face. I shrugged my shoulders, looking down. "I don't know...." i said shyly. I was beginning to feel super uncomfortable. "I'm going to be her first dance," said a voice out of nowhere. I looked to my right to see none other than Coricopat. It was now his turn to save me from Tugger. I blushed when i looked at Coricopat. "Now if you don't mind, Tugger, will you kindly leave Y/N alone? It's clear that she isn't interested in you, so just give up," he said with absolute confidance in his voice. I couldn't sense any sign of him being nervous. I looked up at him in awe. Tugger once again walked off, scoffing. I turned my body to face Coricopat. "Thank you, Coricopat," i said nervously. He smiled down at me and nodded his head. "It was no problem, say... Y/N.. about the dance... would you do me the honours of being my first dance?" he asked nervously. I blushed, shocked. "Sure, Coricopat, I would love to," i smiled up at him. He looked down at me and smiled happily. "Thank you, Y/N," he leaned close to me and nuzzled his head on mine. I blushed majorly. He looked at me one last time and winked at me and walked off to help with the decorating. I was in a state of shock. I felt so happy but so nervous. Etcetera and Victoria came up to me squealing happily. "Y/N! Y/N! What happened?" asked Etcetera. I looked up at her, smiling happily. "Coricopat just saved me from Tugger and asked me to be his first dance at the ball," i said happily. The two girls squealed in joy.

A few hours later of me helping the cats decorate the junkard and occasionally making eye contact with Coricopat and him occasionally winking at me and me occasionally letting out some giggles and smiles  towards him. This day couldn't get any better. After everything was set up we gathered around Munkustrap who was stood at the tire. I was sat with Victoria on my left, Electra was behind me, Etcetera was next to Victoria and Jemima was next to Electra. Suddenly, Coricopat came and sat to my right, i looked up at him and blushed, he smiled down at me and winked once again, i giggled and looked back up at Munkustrap. I could tell he was ready to give a speech. Out of nowhere, Coricopat interwined his tail with mine, i blushed and smiled, i rested my head on his shoulder and he rested his head ontop of mine. I could already tell that he was going to be my mate. It was just meant to be. I knew right then and there, I was going to be increadably happy with my new life.
