Aren't we clever! ((for Mika....and anyone else))

[eliaza]

Pounce marched up to the Old Car, then stopped beside it to rest. "Well! We've got ourselves a--" He never finished the sentence, because at that moment another cat slammed into him.

Alyssa got as far away from Jelly's den as she could, then let her laughter ring out around the Junkyard. She kept running as she laughed. Only, she wasn't watching where she was going, and slammed into a smaller cat. "S-sorry!" she gasped between laughs, looking to see who she'd bumped into.

Pouncival frowned. "Who're you?" He looked back at Plato. "You ever see her before?"

"Oh. I'm new," she explained.

[nolitafairytale]

Canon shook his head, "Neva seen 'er in my life..." He grumbled.

Plato held out a hand, "The name's Plato, you?"

[eliaza]

"Alyssa," she grinned, shaking the proffered paw. "Darn pleased to meet ya! Gee, a lot of you guys must've had experience with humans, knowing about the whole hand-shaking thing and all." She glanced at Canon. "And you are...?"

"Our prisoner," Pouncival cut in. "We just nicked 'im." He paused. "Oh, and I'm Pouncival," he added. Though he didn't offer to shake her paw.

"Wow, that's so brave." Aly turned and winked at Plato. It was so cute how the tom-kit was so proud of catching this tom twice his size. Then she did a double-take on Pounce. "Your poor face! He must've put up a fight, huh?" she said, turning back to Plato.

[nolitafairytale]

Plato nudged Pounce, meaning for him to give her his paw. "It's only polite..." He added.

Canon, who was now sleeping, opened one agrivated eye at the queen. He gave an equally agrivated groan and rolled over so he was facing away from them.

[eliaza]

Pouncival rolled his eyes, seized Aly's paw for a quick instant, then let it drop. "There. Stupid humans and their stupid customs, why the deuce should we imitate them?"

Aly graciously returned the gesture, giving Pounce a saucy smile. Cute kit, he was.

[nolitafairytale]

Plato, with his eyes closed, gave Pounce a gently knock to the head.

Canon laughed, "Hah! Stupid Putty Tat!"

[eliaza]

"Stupid putty-tat yourself!" Alyssa returned out of habit, sticking her tongue out at Canon. "Gracious, your prisoner is a total jerk. Where'd you get him?"

[nolitafairytale]

Canon glared at her.

Plato smiled, "Garbage..." He said, jokingly...

"Hey!"

[eliaza]

Alyssa burst out laughing again. "I like you," she announced to Plato. "You're funny." She turned to Pounce. "You're cute."

Pounce blushed violently.

"And you..." Her voice trailed off thoughtfully as she looked at Canon. "Well, ... you've got room for improvement. So what're you gonna do with him?" she asked Plato.

[nolitafairytale]

Canon looked up at Plato, "Yes, what are you going to do with me?"

"I like you," He smiled, "You're very sweet. And about him, we plan on taking him to Old D. to see what we could do with him..."

[eliaza]

"Old D.? Hey, yeah! I've met him, he's the leader-person-thingie! I like him too. Can I come?" Aly was going to follow them regardless, but she asked for... well, for the sake of principle, she supposed.

Pouncival frowned. "Why?"

"Why what?" she asked cheekily. "Why do I like him? Hmm, let me see...he's big, old, fluffy, sweet, and huggable."

Pounce rolled his eyes and didn't bother answering.

"Don't worry," Aly added in response to his silence. "I'm not gonna try to take any credit for capturing putty-tat."

[nolitafairytale]

"My name's not putty tat!!" Canon said, growling.


"Shut up, putty tat..." He turned his attention back to Aly, "If you want, I don't mind. Do you Pounce...?"

[eliaza]

Pouncival shrugged. "I don't care."

Alyssa grinned broadly. "Well then! I think I saw him...this way," she said, pointing. "Let us go!" she said dramatically.

Pounce followed, shooting Plato a confused look. This queen was weird, she had like...happy-sickness or something. Even Pounce wasn't this... uppity?

((exit Aly and Pounce))
((to the Tire, then? )

[nolitafairytale]

Canon groaned, "Alright, let's go. Pick me up, and let's get this over with..."

Plato met Pounce glance and shrugged, giving him a knowing smile. He picked Canon up and put him on his shoulder, in the most uncomfortable way, and walked off.
