"DUUOH--" The noise Tumblebrutus emitted when he was kissed on the cheek certainly wasn't manly... or anything describable, really... His cheeks lit up, however, far more than the girls teasing him. Tumblebum... God, could it get worse?
His head lifted as he saw Jemima looking at him.
Yup. It could.
Getting more flustered, he tried to clear his throat. "... hi." A shy greeting.

Jemima smiled at Tumble's blushing. Puck was right, he was extra cute when he blushed. Thinking about him in that way... Now it was Jemima's turn to blush. Hopefully he didn't notice.
"...hey." An equally shy greeting.

Well, hey. She said hi back! That was a start! That was huge! She didn't laugh at him either, or call him Tumblebum. God, that wasn't good. But...
Well, maybe there was a chance.
And so, he tried the next most logical thing. "... how are you?"
He was ready to applaud himself.

Jemima giggled quietly. Awh, Tumble was flustered! Poor thing.
She sat down on the tire she had been sitting on before everyone showed up, and patted the spot next to her, inviting him sit down next to her.
"I'm good, thank you," she said with a smile. "Lots more activity here than I would've expected this late at night. Anyway, how are you?"

Wait.
She.
What?
Tumblebrutus's face lit up with excitement and anxiety. Jemima wanted him to sit with her? Or invited him at least? SCORE--oh wait, that's like a Plato thought. NONONONO. Not channeling Plato and his Tips 'O Looove.
He climbed up quickly and with ease as he sat down, careful to keep a small gap between them. Better so she wouldn't be afraid.
What if he smelled or something? Or if he had bad breath? Well, that was the same as smell really, wasn't it? Or something stuck in his teeth. Or--
Too late now.
"I'm ... I'm good now. Thanks. Great, really. Thanks. Yeah. Uh. Seems more busy, yeah, you're right."
Way to sound like a winner, doofus.

Jemima blushed when Tumble appeared all excited about sitting next to her. What was so exciting about sitting next to her? She wasn't about to complain though, for sure.
He was awfully awkward, though. Was she doing something wrong?
"Are you sure you're okay? You seem a little flustered."

"Flustered? Uh! No. I'm good. Really. Promise."
Yup. Major doofus. Ground control to Major Doofus. Memo to self--you are a doofus.
Maybe he'd need to swallow his pride and resort to asking love advice from, it killed him to say it, Plato. Or Alonzo. Actually Alonzo probably would be a better option. Maybe even Pounce but knowing him the jackass would be like mega douche.
Sometimes he wondered how he and Pouncival were best friends, and practically had been since they met.
"You uh... you look nice today. Er, not that you don't look nice other days but... yeah."

Jemima smiled, and gazed up at the moon. "Okay, then," she murmured.
She looked at him in surprise, then. I look nice? She blushed and fidgeted, absentmindedly running her fingers through the fur on her tail.
"Thank you," she said quietly, still blushing.

"You're welcome. Yeah, yeah! You're welcome. Because, because you are."
Tumblebrutus fumbled then. Why was she blushing? Was it because of him? Was he that lucky?!?!?!
Probably not. Maybe she was embarrassed for him for being stupid or stuttering or God, what if he smelled or something? He looked out over the grounds with a little flush.

"JEMI!!!!!" And then to completely ruin the mood 'Lectra decided to jump in on the scene. She had passed Rumple and Plato and the rest of them who said Tumblebum (ha! That was a good one) was back here with Jemima. No way was she going to leave one of her best friends alone with that jerk!
She bounded up and promptly went to push Tumble off his spot, sitting next to her bestie with a huge grin on her face. "How are you?! Beautiful night, isn't it? The moon is so huge and full and ahh!! I bet you love it!" And inside she was cackling.

Tumblebrutus decided he definitely wasn't one of Electra's fans, especially at that moment as he lost balance. However, he WAS thankful for the agility he was born with, a prodigy, really. He allowed his body to bend, several turns given before landing on the ground with ease, arms above his head. And, with a glare, immaturely he raised his middle finger at Electra before skulking to watch Plato and the girls from the sidelines.
"Bitch," he mumbled beneath his breath.

Plato grinned--well, if Rumpleteazer was making it THAT easy, it was time to show off a bit. Especially since her brother wasn't around to pull any of that over protective bullshit. Man, if he had a sister, he'd totally let her screw whoever the hell she wanted.
His second hand moved to her waist as he lifted her above his head, not seeming to have the slightest bit of strain in the lift as he smirked up, then glanced to Puck.
"It's a talent." A wink was given, cheeky at that.

"Wayyuup!!" Rumple was surprised at the sudden extra height she had been given but was a natural at 'lifts' as she was the lighter half of an acrobatic duo. "We're figure skaters now?"

"A talent for sure." Puck smirked and rewarded the display with a nod of approval and a golf clap. "10s across the board!"
With the new arrival, she turned to watched the group on the tires with a frown and her hands on her hips. No! My plan was going so well! Puck didn't like having her plans interrupted. She had to do something.
Leaving Plato and Rumple behind her, Puck followed Tumblebrutus. "Hey Tumblebu-er, Tumble." Now wasn't the time for teasing, no matter how nicely it was intended. "You okay?"

Jemima jumped when Electra apparently appeared out of nowhere. She glared at her best friend when she gave Tumble a shove. Why couldn't those two just get along?
"Now look what you've done," she muttered to Electra, gesturing to Tumble's slumped back, and giving her friend a gentle shove in the shoulder.
"Why can't you be nicer to him?"

"We can be whatever you want, babe. Just don't tell on me to your brother." He gave a wink before bending his arms for momentum, throwing her up in the air before catching her bridal style.
"I'd carry you over the threshold."
Another wink.

'Lectra rolled her eyes, waving her hand as if she were waving Tumble away. Sometimes Jemi just didn't get it. She had to look after her dreamy friend. The Queen settled in next to Jemi, about to explain why Tumble was such a dummy.
"Jemi, I didn't do anything but protect you from the drivel that would've come out of his mouth. He's just a stupid Tom, after all." She shook her head, patting her friend on the shoulder. "And I'm not being terribly mean." 'Lectra grinned wide, laughing a bit.

"Hey, don't be like that. I like him," Jemima said quietly, but couldn't help but smile at Electra's upbeat manner.

"Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine," Tumblebrutus muttered quickly. "Just... she's mean. Any time I try to talk to Jemima, she's always right there pushing me away." His eyes moved up to the kittens.
"... she really is beautiful," he murmured quietly.

"She is." Puck nodded. "And I get the feeling that she likes you as well." She added with a warm smile and a slight nudge.
"As for the other one, well... Its not an easy age, for anyone. Some don't grow out of the 'Ew cooties' stage right away but eventually they learn to stop interfering. Just be patient."
"I'm sorry for teasing you earlier," Puck added with a slight shift.

Rumple poked her tongue out at Plato "Smooth.....your moves...not your words!"
She started fishing around in her pocket "by the way, you know how to use a rubber?" out she pulled another elastic band "haaaa double entendre! Might as well even out the playing field now Tumblebum has one right?" she whispered in his ear.

'Lectra shook her head, sighing, and just not understanding. "What do you see in that Tom anyway? He's not the brightest, strongest, or anything special. I just don't get it." The Queen nuzzling her friend's shoulder in defeat. She titled her head to the side, looking up at the moon. It shined brilliantly.
She had to give up a little of her protectiveness sometimes. In the end, she did just want Jemi to be happy. Even if it meant letting her talk to that stupid Tumblebum Tom. 'Lectra rolled her eyes and waved her hand around, like she was thinking about something. "Fine. . . I guess we can go talk to him."

Jemima looked at Electra. "You really don't like him, huh?"
"Maybe he's not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he's sweet, and he means well," she said, and added, "besides, he's cute!"
She stood up and looked down at Tumble and Puck. I wonder what she's saying to him?

Tumblebrutus flushed a bit as he looked back toward Jemima then away. "You really think so?" he asked, more quietly, not entirely in disbelief, but a needed affirmation. And then an apology to him?
Tumblebrutus somewhat gawked, looking utterly stunned. He was an omega type. He usually did the apologizing, if there was any to be had. The only times he'd been apologized to were bad times. Sympathy.
He usually forgot those apologies.
"I--no--it's--er--" Pause. "It's... cool."

"No, its not cool. I know what its like. I've been teased before. Made fun of, lied to, set up to look like the fool, dropped..." Puck trailed off, not so much looking at the piece of trash on the ground but through it. She shook herself after a moment, bringing her thoughts back. "Sorry."
Putting her paw on Tumble's shoulder she smiled, hoping he didn't see the shadow that still lurked in her eyes. "I promise you though that any teasing I do is meant in the friendliest way possible. And if I cross the line, you have my permission to smack me over the head. Cross my heart."
"And yes, I do really think so." Puck glanced up and saw Jemima looking down. "In fact, it looks like she wants to come chat again. Shall I leave you alone?" She stood and gave the tom a wink, taking a small step back towards Plato and Rumpleteazer.

Cute? Really? Jemi said he was cute? She stuck out her tongue, scrunched her nose, and shook her head. "You really are crazy. I think looking at the moon so much messed with you head." But 'Lectra laughed; it was all in jest. Sort of. She really did care for Jemi and just thought Tumble was a stupid Tom who would hurt her eventually.

Plato merely shivered. "I definitely would not mind you teaching ME how to use a rubber, with demonstration." A smirk was given before he glanced at Tumblebrutus. Aw, did he scare off Puck already? Maybe more of an easy target.
Or something.
"And damn right. I want revenge."

"I'll show you how" She wiggled out of Plato's arms and landed on the floor then turned and grabed his left hand, placing the elastic band over his outstretched finger and thumb as she had done with Tumble. Then she pulled the elastic band back and let it snap to demonstrate how easy it was. "use it wisely" she winked at Plato.
"oh....or theres this...." quick as anything she pulled another elastic band from her pocket, hooked it over her thumb, placed the thumb near Plato's nipple, pulled the band back and let go so it snaped in the tender area. "Gotcha" She smirked.

"GUUUUUH~! HURTS SO GOOD!" Plato said with delight, even though it stung like a bitch. Sometimes it was sad how easily he could be wrapped around a girl's finger, in this case almost literally, just for a pretty smile, or some attention. However, he did indeed take the rubber band as he scooted around, eyeing Tumblebrutus. Where'd he get the other, hard to say, but he'd make it hurt. Maybe in the butthole, fucking fag.
Plato wasn't homophobic in the least, but sometimes his train of thought never linked things together, such as how that could be a hurtful statement. His brain never worked that way. He could really give a shit who any of his friends wanted to screw even though he was all about the babes. Well, and Tugger, but seriously who didn't want a piece of that?

"Do eeet do eeeet do eeeet!!" Rumpel laughed and jumped onto Plato's back, clinging onto his shoulders, her thighs gripping his waist to stop from sliding down "get him good for me!"
