New In Town part 2

"So where are we going, Tumblebrutus?"

"I want you ta come en meet me Tribe," Tumblebrutus said to the black kitten who trotted beside him.

"Are they all as nice as you are?" the kitten asked demurely. She had developed a bit of a crush on the young tom even though she had only known him for a couple hours.

Tumblebrutus chuckled. "I'm sure they will be ta you, Scatflipza."

Scatflipza smiled happily. After Tumblebrutus had his fill of food, he said that Scatflipza had to visit the Junkyard. Scatflipza hesitated for only a moment, then agreed. She needed to get to know her surroundings better. She ushered her pet, Marlee, back into the house and they both went on their way.

"Are we there yet?" asked the kitten after a moment of silence lengthened.

Tumblebrutus grinned at Scatflipza. "Almost there."

The two cats neared the Junkyard. Tumblebrutus' ears perked up. He looked at Scatflipza and smiled widely. "Wot's say we go on en?"

He led her to a narrow opening in the fence around the Junkyard and squeezed through. Scatflipza followed him. As she wiggled through, she caught sight of Tumblebrutus facing off with another tom about his size. His fur was fluffed out and he looked angry. She hung back, no sure what to do.

"And just where to you think you're going?" the unfriendly looking tom fiercely asked Tumblebrutus.

"Okay, George, you 'ave us." Tumblebrutus said with a laugh.

George lifted an eyebrow. "Us?" He looked behind Tumblebrutus and saw the black kitten crouched there.

"Hello," Scatflipza said shyly.

"'Ello, I'm George."

"My name is Scatflipza and I am related to Cat Morgan of the Jellicle Tribe."

Tumblebrutus laughed at George's look of surprise. George flicked his tail, annoyed at his friend.

"Nice to meet you, Scatflipza. I can tell from your accent, you're not from around here," George said matter of factly.

Scatflipza grinned. "And all this time I t'ought it was youse guys wit' the funny accents," she said in her best Brooklyn accent.

George burst out laughing and started to walk off. "It was nice meeting you. I've got to get back to my post. Remember, Tumble, you owe me a fish."

Tumblebrutus chuckled and said, "Sure thing, mate. C'mon, Scatflipza, I'm gonna take you ta meet Munkustrap."

Scatflipza smiled. "How come you called George your mate? He's not a queen." She thought it was very funny and started giggling behind her paw.

Tumblebrutus laughed. "Mate's another word for friend o' pal. You're going to have to learn a whole new lexicon."

The black kitten nodded, deciding not to ask about the meaning of lexicon for now. "So, who's Munkustrap? Your father?"

"No, but 'e sure does act like it sometimes. No, 'e's the 'ead tomcat while Ol' Deuteronomy's not aroun'."

"Old Deuteronomy?"

"Yeah, 'e's our Jellicle Leader," he said with a grin.

Scatflipza stopped dead in her tracks. "Did you say Jell... are you telling me that you're part of the Jellicle Tribe?"

"Didn't I mention that before?" Tumblebrutus said with a tilt of his head. He eyes twinkled in amusement.
