Double Trouble

Day 5

kinda forgot about this oops

DAY 5

The day before had felt nice. Tugger hadn't been woken by screaming kits for once, and it had almost seemed like he wasn't kit-sitting! Sure, he loved the kits, and he would do anything to help their mother, but some alone time could be nice.

Apparently, no one can have nice things for long. He had somehow slept through the sunrise, and was instead awoken when the sun had long-since passed his dresser drawer bed by high-pitched meows of kits.

He stretched for a minute, before his eyes snapped open, realizing that those were the meows of Maria and Cleo.

Were the kits in trouble? Did they need help? Had Macavity come to his house, ready to attack, and found the kittens? No time to contemplate, he needed to get to them!

He stumbled out of the drawer, quite clumsily for such a fabulous cat, took a quick glance into the mirror(just to make sure), and bolted out the door, only to run into yet another cat! It seemed that the tribe couldn't leave him alone for one day.

Tugger had crashed into a beautiful white queen. She sat elegantly in the doorway, giving him an amused look.

"Victoria! What are you doing here?" He asked, surprised.

The young queen moved her paws in several different motions. Tugger frowned.

"Oh, Everlasting, for the last time, they aren't my kits!"

The she-cat giggled, before signing again.

I know, silly! I'm just teasing! Now, Misto should be with them, I just wanted to make sure you knew I was here. Hopefully it's okay that I want to meet them.

Tugger stood close to her, composing himself, and wrapped an arm around her shoulders while purring.

"Of course, sweetheart. Well, off we go, hm?"

He was greeted by yet another sweet but teasing grin, as well as a playful shove. Victoria was such a sweet young cat, and was very lucky to have made it to the Jellicle Tribe with her brother. It was so nice of her to come ask if she could see the kittens as well, unlike Bombalurina and Jemima, who had just barged in.

They quickly hooked arms, and he led her over to where the kittens stayed. Inside the room, Mistoffelees lay on his back, Cleo on top of him. She pounded his chest with her little paws, telling the tom all about yesterday.

Maria looked equally happy and excited, but was not beating up the magical cat to show it. Previously, she had been looking at him in wonder, but now she looked at Victoria with the same expression.

Meanwhile, Cleo was still going off.

"..And you left us for a day! How could you do that? I didn't even notice you leave! Mom always says that's rude, you know? You always have to say goodbye! But we were visited by Je-mi-ma and Bomba-rina, and they were really nice, you know? We played games! And they gave us toys! And- and Jemima helped us catch a mouse. I think it was as big as Marias head!" She took a deep breath, then looked over at Maria. The other kitten didn't look back, so she followed her gaze to where Tugger and Victoria were standing, looking amused.

Now very curious, Cleo rolled off of the tux so that she was closer to her sister. Both stared up at Victoria.

An albino cat is not something you see every day. Victoria is tall, and pure white on every part of her body. Her eyes are a bright blue, and a little bit glazed over, and Mistoffelees had reiterated once, before any of the other tribe members had learned to understand the she-cats signing, that everything is a bit blurry and hard to see.
