It didn't take Alonzo too long to locate Merri and Seffie, who were standing by the car talking to Cassandra and Bombalurina. He reached up and mussed his headfur the way he liked it, then strode over to the queens. "Hello, ladies, I hear we have a new queen." And he turned to Seffie with what he hoped wasn't a goofy smile.
Merri arranged herself as far away from Alonzo as possible, not looking at him so she wouldn't be tempted to swipe that stupid grin off his face. "And this is Alonzo," she said, doing her best to keep the annoyance from her voice.

((You guys moved along so fast! XD lol))
Bomba watched Alonzo enter after ignoring everyone else in anoyance, "Hi Alonzo." She gave him a wave with a pretty smile on her face.

Alonzo turned, briefly including Bomba in his smile. "Getting your beauty rest, I see," he said playfully. Then he turned back to Seffie, to see what she'd say.

((Wow, really fast...In a rush, so It might have alot of typos. sorry.))
Cassandra gave Seffina and Merri a warm smile,"Good Afternoon Merri. Hello Seffina, I don't believe we've met. I'm Cassandra." She then gave Alonzo a crooked stare,"Not even going to acknowledge me Alonzo?"
Seffina glanced at all the felines she was meeting all at once. She felt a little overwhelmed and confused, but shrugged it off. Seeing Alonzo, she got a weird feeling, but smiled at him. She noticed Merri back off, but didn't concern herself with that,"Hello. I'm Seffina. There sure are a lot of you." Another good looking tom, the tribe must be full of them, she thought as she winked at him.

Alonzo spun around to face Cassandra. "So, so, sorry, I didn't wish to disturb your beauty rest," he said, smiling serenely at the queen. "Hello, Cassandra." He could be a gentleman--er, gentletom--when he chose. He turned back to Seffina, but when he looked the queen in the face he got a weird feeling, as if trying to remember something. Not being a very deep thinker, he shrugged it off. "So, welcome to the junkyard, Seffie! May I call you Seffie?" Somehow it seemed appropriate.
Mungojerrie, having just finished a burglary with his twin sister, after which Teazer had decided to take a nap, was now looking for something to do. Seeing a group of cats gathered around the car, he skipped up to them, grinning broadly. "'Ello, ladies!" He looked around. "An' gents," he added, acknowledging Alonzo.
Help! Another tom! When Merri saw who it was, she relaxed somewhat. Mungo drove her a little less insane than did other toms--well, he didn't make her want to throw things anyway. "And that is Mungojerrie," she said to Seffina.

A graceful smile graced Cassandra's lips in referance to Alonzo's attention. He was always a gentleman towards her, and she really respected that. She liked that in a tom. Then her eyes caught site of Mungojerrie, and she was tempted to hiss. He was the exact opposite of a gentleman, and didn't respect her at all. Though some weird part of her got a slight thrill thinking about Jerrie. He had something extra that she couldn't pinpoint. Like always, she nodded a hello to the tom,"Hello....Jerrie."
Seffina was more aware of Merri's apprehension. Her tail curled around Merri's legs almost in a protective sisterly way, but she wasn't eactly aware that she had done it. Seffina broadly smiled at Alonzo,"Oh I like it already, sugar. I really don't like the name Seffina." She then looked towards Mungojerrie, and her eyes went wide. Really, this is too much. Another hott tom??!! She touched the toms shoulder in a flirty way, out of habit,"Hello there. Mungojerrie right?"

"Wonderful. Seffie, then." Alonzo's smile widened. "Hello, Mungo," he added, acknowledging the ginger-and-black tiger tom. He tried to keep back a feeling of disappointment. He'd kind of liked being the only tom, just him and the ladies...
Mungojerrie closed his mouth, which he didn't realize had been hanging open. "Yep, 'at's right," he grinned. "Usually takes new cats a while t' get it righ'. Oi 'ave a sistah, too, but she's snorin' away in our den at the mo'... So..." He frowned in concentration. He had to get this name right. "Sefia, right?" Somehow, he didn't think he'd pronounced it quite right.
Merri noticed the sisterly gesture and felt herself relax somewhat. Seffie may be a little on the flirty side, but she seemed to know when to be protective, too...kind of like Bombalurina. Merri smiled at the thought. "Seffina," she corrected Mungojerrie, trying to keep her tone even and not an "Oh, you're so stupid" tone. "He has trouble with names sometimes," she told Seffie apologetically. "Pronouncing them, I mean."

Cassandra rolled her eyes, she already did not like this new queen. Although this new queen was not extremely flirtacious like Bombalurina was, she still had the same traits. It was all the same to her. She pushed passed the group, silently scowling to herself. She ended up pushing passed Mungojerrie harder than she intended and mumbled out an apology, though she didn't seem to mean it, before leaving the group. She wasn't sure exactly where she was going, she just had to get away.
Seffina gave Alonzo another flirty grin at the name Seffie, before returning her attention back to Mungojerrie. She twisted some of his shoulder fur into her finger's and licked her lips. She was mesmerized by this tom, though her thoughts kept wandering back to Munkustrap. He doesn't like me..Seffina thought glumly in her head. She heard Merri, and her tail was still around the queen, though she still was not aware of it,"No it's alright Merri." She looked at Mungojerrie and something in her eyes sparkled, hoping he'd catch sight of it. "I like it, sugar. Sefia. It's got a nice ring to it. And you're accent..."She trailed off with a grin on her face.

Alonzo watched as Cassandra left, he rather liked her, he hoped it wasn't him who'd upset her. "Well...see you later?" he called after her.
"Oh...y' really loik it?" Mungojerrie shifted his feet, slightly embarrassed. He lost his balance slightly as Cassandra pushed past him, and he called goodbye to her as he regained his footing.
Merri smiled, glad Seffie was getting on well with everyone. Well, except Cassandra, but she may not be leaving because of Seffie. "Well, would you like to see the rest of the junkyard?" She was eager to get away from the toms.
They were leaving? Alonzo quickly interjected, "May I offer myself as your escort?"

Seffina glanced slightly up as Cassandra left, and couldn't help thinking it was because of her. Though she was new, she really wasn't sure what to think. Well that's another one who doesn't like me. Seffina frowned, she really liked staying here, talking with this very cute tiger tom. "Leave?" She nodded at Jerrie,"Of course I like it, sugar." Then she glanced down at Merri, and was beginning to understand why Merri wanted to leave. Though she did want an extra escort, perferably a tom; Alonzo. She liked being with toms, though she couldn't say why. She looped her arm through Alonzo's,"Well if we have to leave. I don't have a problem with it." She then glanced back to Merri, with a reasurring look.

"Well..." Merri hesitated. She didn't want to be rude. Oh, not to Alonzo, she had no problem being rude to Alonzo, but Seffina really seemed to want him along... Before she could even say anything, Mungojerrie interjected.
"Hoi! C'n oi come too?" asked the tiger tom eagerly. "Er...don't s'pose yew'd moin' 'avin' two escorts?"
"By all means, Mungo," said Alonzo, bowing gallantly. He took Seffina's arm as he'd seen humans do.
Well that seemed to settle it. Mungojerrie would've taken Merri's arm, but she shrank away from it. "Well, shall we, then?" she mumbled, shifting so that she was as far away from the toms as possible. As a sort of afterthought, she turned to Bomba. "Would you like to come?" Might as well make it a party.

Seffina smile broaden at both Alonzo's gesture, and Mungojerrie's question. "I don't mind at all tiger,"She purred as she winked at the tom. Then she held out her paw to Merri, hoping she'd take it. She wasn't sure why she was being nice to the queen, though she did normally latch onto those she first meets. "We would love it if you joined us Bomba,"She quickly added.

After hesitating a moment, Merri took the proffered paw. At least she'd have Seffie between her and Alonzo. She looked back to see if Bomba would come with them, hoping Mungojerrie would take her arm and leave Merri alone. If he tried walking beside her, it might become a safety hazard. "C'mon, Bomba," she coaxed. "It'll be an adventure!" she giggled kittenishly.

Bombalurina was not at all interested in any conversation going on around her. She wasn't really listening ether. She was day dreaming about something else tom related.
She looked up at Merri as she said her name, "An adventure huh?" She paused tapping her red nails on the car's metal surface. "I'd like an adventure." She purred standing up straight. She put her hands on her hips raising on eye brow, "Is anyone going to take me by the arm or am I going to be escorting myself?" She inquired.

Mungojerrie needed no second bidding. Merri's unwillingness to take his arm had sort of given him a jolt and reminded him that this was Merri, and he thanked High Heaviside that he hadn't gotten pummelled for daring to approach her. He offered Bombalurina his arm. "If oi may...?"
Alonzo smiled to himself. Now every queen had an escort--well, every queen that wanted one--and he could concentrate on getting to know Seffie a bit better, instead of feeling like he had to be escort to three queens. He noticed the cloud on Merri's brow, but who said only she was allowed to show the new queen around? It was her own fault anyway, she was the one who was so bloody prejudiced against toms.
Merrilee determined then and there that she would not allow the presence of toms to take away her enjoyment. It's just that it might not be as fun as she'd hoped...she'd probably be ignored now, what with Bomba and Seffie each having a tom to talk to. But what did she care? She didn't want a tom to talk to!
