No Need to Fear

Macavity smiled. "Oh, I'm not going to murder YOU, Demeter. Just Munkustrap." He touched her shoulder. "You have no reason to fear me unless Munkustrap doesn't agree to my terms."

Dem looked at him. " Oh that's real reassuring." She looked down at her wound and then back at Mac. " Munk won't agree...you know that." She said in a strong tone.

Macavity rolled his eyes. "He never agrees with me anyway."

Dem looked at him. " Well maybe if you stopped pulling stunts like this...you might get some were....you know talking to him." she said hoping that maybe she could strike a chord with him.

Macavity shook his head. "I am beyond talking now. Only shooting."

Dem looked at him her eye's narrowed,she shook her head. :" that's so sad...You can't think of anything better...I'm disappointed in you Macavity...if you start shooting you are just going to be like the rest of those no talent lazy coward crooks that in prison back in town..surely YOU have a better angle then that." she said as she put her paw to the wound.

Macavity suddenly started to believe her. He wasn't like every other crook. He was different. He was the one destined to take over. Not petty theft or murder. No. He was going to defeat Munkustrap and take over! "You're right, Miss Demeter. But I still need to kill Munkustrap, regardless of what I'll be."

Dem had to think fast. " Uh..Mac...you want to be like the rest of them..just no names who couldn't pull of a simple murder...don't you want to be remembered.?? Surely you can think of some thing better then that...some thing a little more clever.?" she said desperately.

Macavity gave her a small smile. "You're really desperate for me not to kill Munkustrap," he said.

Dem looked at him, and shifted her eyes. " Uhh...well..I just don't want you to be...Uh...well yeah.." she said not being able to think of anything else to say to distract him.

Macavity smiled. "Well, you're not going to dissuade me, Demeter. I have my mind made up. I'll kill Munkustrap or get killed trying."

Dem thought for a moment. " Well Sugar I just had an idea." She said with a smirk. "Why not bring him here..and we can kill him together."

We've Met

Mungojerrie rode at a steady pace back into town. He couldn't believe he forgot to pick up his weekly supplies earlier that day. Where was his mind these days? "It's a nice day isn't it?" he mentioned to Rumpleteazer as they rode.

Rumpleteazer smiled at Jerrie "it sure is!" She looked at Jerrie "Hey, what's on your mind?"

The lost Alonzo and Tugger saw Mungo and Teazer up ahead. They stopped their horses right next to Mungo's horse. "Um..hi. We're new in town. I'm Rum Tum Tugger, usually called Tugger."

"And I'm Alonzo. We're sort of lost...."

"We've been looking for the General Store. There's someone we have to meet. A fellow named Mungo Jerrie. Do you know him?"

Teazer gave Jerrie the "Should we just tell them where the store is look" and laughed slightly, thinking it might be amusing...

Mungojerrie looked at Rumpleteazer and knew exactly what she was thinking and gave a slight nod to his head so that she would see it but the other two would miss it giving her the go ahead to say anything that she wanted to the two strangers.

Tugger and Alonzo sat there. "Um, so do you know where we can find Mungo Jerrie?" said Alonzo who was starting to get impatient.

"And where the Generals Store is?" Tugger said as fixed his black hat.

Teazer grinned "Oiym sorry oiy didn't awwnser sooner.." She paused "Oiy saw Mungojerrie 'ead thataway" she said pointing the opposite way of which they were going.

"And the general stor' is this way" She said pointing towards it. She grinned at Jerrie "Sha' we go now?"

Tugger tipped his hat. "Thank you. By the way. We didn't catch your names."

Alonzo smiled. "Yes. If we're gonna make friends around here we should learn their names."

Mungojerrie grinned, "This is Rumpleteazer," he said introducing his mate. Then he waited for her to introduce him.

Alonzo and Tugger both held out there hands to shake Rumpleteazer's. "It's nice to meet you." Said Tugger.

The two Toms waited for the other Tom to be introduced.

"Nice to meet you too." She paused. "Aoind this is moiy mate" she continued without a pause "Jeremy!" she smiled.

"Why hello Jeremy." said Tugger.

"Thanks for everything neighbors. Now we must be on our way to find Mungo Jerrie."

The two toms waved goodbye. Then started to ride again.
