New Sheriff In Town
One thing that Munkustrap was unaware of was that Demeter had been catnapped by Macavity since he had just arrived in town. Macavity kidnapped Demeter to get Munkustrap to meet him for a showdown. Munkustrap became sheriff instead of Macavity, because Mac was always breaking the law. And Munkustrap made Macavity an out-law because of all his law breaking. Now Macavity's an outlaw and a bandit, and he wants to kill Munkustrap and take whatever he wants. Munkus came from a big city 'cause he was tired of all the garbage that went on there. The whole Macavity thing was the main reason he left the big city and it was a HUGE coincidence that they ended up in the same town. But of course, Munkustrap didn’t know that yet. Munkustrap walked down the main road through town in hopes of finding the local store. He needed to get some supplies for his office and his living quarters above the office. Pouncival walked with his eyes cast downward. He kicked at pebbles, feeling lower than a snake's belly at leaving Jemima alone. He sighed hugely and didn't realize that he was about to run smack dab into the new sheriff. Munkustrap was watching some kids playing on the side of the road when he collided with a smaller Tom, knocking him to the ground. "Are you okay?" Munkustrap asked as he helped the other Tom up off the ground. "I guess I should watch where I'm going." The three were looking around seeing around the town. Just then they noticed the sheriff. They ran over to him. "Hello."said Kit."You wouldn't know on where to buy like food or cooking supplies now would you??"asked Kit very politely. "Oh I'm so rude!!! I didn't give you my name, My name is Kit."said the white queen with the cream dipped tail. She had a flower by her right ear. "My name is Dusty nice to meet you," said Dusty. "I'm Mistoffelees," he said tipping his black hat. Munkustrap finished dusting off Pouncival and addressed the three newcomers. "It is nice to meet you," Munkustrap said, tipping his hat to the ladies. "I'm Sheriff Munkustrap. I'm afraid I'm new to this town and the only general store that I know of is right over there, across the street." He pointed to a small building. Pouncival shook his head to clear it. "Thank you kindly, sir," he murmured, still with his eyes downcast. When the older tomcat mentioned the general store, he looked over and saw Jemima still sitting there with Electra and Victoria. *At least she's not completely alone* He felt a pang in his heart. "Um, sorry again. See ya folks." He edged away from the group. "Hey," Munkustrap called to the younger Tom, "are you all right?" He could tell there was something bothering him, but didn't know exactly what. "Well thank you for pointing that out mister. Bye"said Kit and her and the other two headed over to the store. "You're very welcome," Munkustrap replied. He was still watching the other Tom, who looked extremely troubled. "Just let me know if I can be of anymore assistance." Pouncival looked at the new sheriff. "I'm sorry, sir. Did I even introduce myself?" He shook his head sadly. "My ma would be ashamed. My name's..." "Pouncival!" shouted Electra from about halfway across the street. She slowed as she neared the pair of toms, taking in the impressive figure of the older tomcat. "Mornin', sir. So you're the new sheriff, huh?" She tilted her wide-brimmed hat back and smiled. "I'm Electra. This here town's pretty tame, but there might be a bit of commotion if Pouncival here doesn't mosey on back to Jemima with me." Pouncival shook his head. "I can't. I'm not even good enough to be in her presence anymore." Electra grabbed his paw. "Sorry, you don't have a choice in the matter. Nice meetin' you, Sheriff." Pouncival gave Munkustrap a panicked expression before being dragged off. "Well, it was nice meeting you both," Munkustrap said as he watched in amusement Electra dragging Pouncival away. ***** >^..^< *****
Jemima looked up sadly at her friend. "It's... it's Pouncival," she said softly. "I... I want to talk to him so bad, but... but he left me!" She burst into tears again. "I'd give anything to have him back here, even for a second!" Victoria sadly walked down the walkways , Misto didn't even notice her....she then stopped, noticing her friend Jemima crying "Oh Jemima!" She said as she overheard what she said to Electra. Victoria knelt down next to her and put a gloved paw on her back. Electra clucked her tongue. "He left you crying? Where is that tom?" She looked around and saw Pouncival standing with a group of other cats across the street. She stood up. "I'll go get him," she said firmly. Jemima looked up at her friend. "Would you?" she asked Electra. "Oh, Electra, if you could get him for me, I would give you anything!" Victoria half smiled at Jemima and Electra "You go get him Leccy" She said looking over where Pouncival was edging his way out of the group of cats- Misto in the group too. Victoria quickly looked back to Jemima and Electra, waiting for Electra to go and bring back Pouncival. She didn't figure Pouncy meant to Make Jemima cry in the first place. The little group saw the three ladies. Kit noticed the one kitten crying. She walked over to them. "Hello Victoria, Electra may I ask your name miss?" asked Kit. "Miss Kit, that is Miss Jemima," said Misto. "Thank you. Aww why are you crying deary??" she asked Kneeling in front of the sad girl. "Looks like she just got her heart broken to me," said Dusty. "Daddy be a little nicer please. You know how hard heartbreak is!" said Kit giving her dad a stern look. Misto whispered to Vicki's. "Was it Pouncival?" he asked looking at Jemima. Victoria frowned and turned to Misto with a nod , she whispered, "Yes, yes it was." She turned back to Jemima. Jemima began to cry louder. "Just ‘cause my dad's the banker and I'm from the East, he doesn't think he's good enough for me," she bawled. "I just know it!" Victoria patted Jemima on the back. "Don't worry Jemima, I'm sure he'll see past that" She said reassuringly. Jemima nodded. "He's the tom I want. He's not too good for me. I wish I could be a ranch hand too so he wouldn't think that." She shuddered a bit at the thought of getting dirty and riding with one leg on either side of the horse, but she wanted Pouncival more than anything. Electra nodded. "I'll get that tom straightened out." She smiled at everyone, particularly Jemima, then made a bee-line for Pouncival across the street. | |
