Cats Episode one: Bombalurina In The Beginning

Author’s note: I would like to assure everyone that I do not own ‘Cats’ or ‘The Old Possum’s Book On Practical Cats’ whatsoever. But I do hope that I’ll get a good review from this story. This is my first entry so go easy on me, ok? Enjoy!

Synopsis: This is the first episode ofa pretty funny story about how Bombalurina first came to the Jellicles. She arrives at the junkyard looking cold and frazzled…

“Who would you rather date? Jennyanydots or Jellylorum?” Demeter laughed at Munkustrap. “Yuck!” Mungojerrie gagged. Everyone laughed. “Jenny or Jelly, huh?” Munkustrap sighed. “I don’t know! They both would be too busy fighting over me for me to make a decision!” Munkustrap bragged jokingly. Rum Tum Tugger smacked the back of Munkustrap’s head and laughed “How vain can you get, man?” At this question everybody turned to raise their eyebrows at Tugger. “Yeah, yeah! Don’t say it!” Tugger raised his arms to plead guilty. It was a bright, sunny afternoon and Demeter, Munkustrap, Tugger, Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer gathered around at their favorite spot to hang out.

They were all chatting casually until Demeter heard a familiar voice behind a tire ask Skimbleshanks “Excuse me, I’m looking for a friend, her name is Demeter, do you know where she is?” at this Demeter jumped up to see who it was. Her eyes widened at the sight of a slightly drenched but gorgeous red queen looking cold and frazzled. “OH MY GOD, BOMBY!” Demeter shrieked running to her long lost friend. “OH MY GOD, DEMI!” the red queen rushed to hug Demeter with tears in her eyes. “Oh my god, introduce us!” Rumpleteazer piped up.

“Guys, this is my friend Bombalurina. Oh my god! Where have you been? How did you find me? You’re soaking wet! Let’s get you dried up later!” Demeter started to babble. “I’m fine right now,” Bombalurina gave her a weak smile. “My name’s Munkustrap,” he got up and shook Bombalurina’s paw, bidding her to sit down. “My name’s Mungojerrie,” he introduced himself in his thick cockney accent. “Mine’s Rumpleteazer!” she smiled at Bombalurina in the same cockney accent as Mungojerrie. “And I am The Rum Tum Tugger but you can call me Tugger, gorgeous,” Bombalurina smiled and nodded to everyone she shook hands with…especially to Tugger.

“How did you get like this, Bomby?” Demeter asked as she sat down beside Bombalurina. “I was kicked out by my owner,” she replied rolling her eyes trying to look strong but she was actually hurting so badly inside. “Oh, Bomby, you poor thing,” Demeter said hugging her crestfallen friend. “But, hey! Who needs that stupid girl anyway, right?” Bombalurina said trying to cheer herself up. Demeter nodded as Bombalurina started to explain everything to Demeter. “…so then I thought that I should join you and your tribe,” Bombalurina finally ended her story. “That’s an amazing idea!” Demeter said enthusiastically. “Yeah?” Bomby replied perking up. “Of course! I’ll go introduce you to Old Deuteronomy…right after we get you cleaned up! Come on, Rumple!” Demeter said excitedly. At this both Bomby and Rumple got up following Demeter. “It’s nice meeting you guys!” Bomby smiled dazzlingly to the three toms that were left behind. They said goodbye to her. “Man, she is hot!” Tugger smiled enthusiastically. Both Munkustrap and Mungojerrie shook their heads as Tugger stared after Bombalurina.
