Caly walked down an old road, which lead to a new town and a new life. He wondered if this town had a good dump, he could care less though. A bridge's shadow loomed over him as he kept walking, staring out into space. A welcoming sign read "Welcome to Nenbrook!" So that's what this place is called, Nenbrook, Caly thought to himself. He sniffed the air to make sure that he was alone, but the air was empty and smelled of nothing. Caly walked emotionlessly along the road, only thinking of one thing. Something new.

"Uuugh..."
A small moan came from a pile of unconcious silver fur at the side of the road, evidently proving that Rowan Brokendaze was approaching conciousness. It took a few seconds and another moan before he opened his eyes to reveal two stunningly green orbs. "Where...." he started to say a he lifed his head, glancing around in confusion. He blinked. Twice. Then it all came rushing back. Being abandoned. Being left on the side of the road. Now he could find Dapple! He blinked again. None of that explain what he was doing a few metres away from his cardboard box, waking up. Had he fallen asleep? An earsplitting pain in his head told him otherwise. And the tree trunk in front of his nose made him guess he had ran into the tree, received a severe bump on the head and become unconcious for who knows how long.
He blushed, feeling extremely stupid, and got up, hastily looking around to see if anyone had noticed his little wipeout. Oops. As he glanced down the road to the left he could see a silver tabby tom like himself sitting not to far away. "I'm okay," he called over with a nervoud laugh. Shaking his head in an attempt to pull himself together, Rowan began to trot over to the other cat. "I'm Rowan," he said lightly with a small grin. "New to the streets. Have you seen a she-cat? Well not any, I mean, her name's Dapple. Tortoishell fur?" He lifted his head slightly, hoping and praying that the answer would be a yes and he could start searching her out. Right away.

Caly watched a big red truck go by and drop a box on the side of the road. Calypso slowly walked over to the box. Suddenly a silver tabby shot out the box and ran straight into the tree.
"Newbie," Caly whispered under his breath. He hadn't ever been abandoned, he always imagined that he had, but no. He had ran away. But know the silver tabby, wasn't moving. Caly slowly walked forward to the silver tabby.
"Hello-o? Any body in there?" He might aswell wait until the other cat woke up. Besides, it would be fun to make fun of him. Caly sat down and waited. A deep sigh of contentment rolled out of him. The silver tabby had woken up. He listened to the silver tabby's attempt to wash away embarassment.
"Like it really matters," he hissed at the silver tabby's attempt to be friendly. The silver tabby seemed not to notice and continued talking. "Why are you giving me your name, its not like we'll see each other again, and besides, I'm not giving you mine." Caly felt emotion for this cat...anger! How stupid can this cat be, I'm not social.
Caly waited until the silver tabby had finished being a pest and stopped talking. Then he continued walking, "I have seen a tortishell named dapple, actually, and I did notice that you were new to the street." Caly stalked off down the road. Feeling the satisfaction and pride of what he did to that stupid young "Rowan". He felt the pebbles on the road hit his paws harder as he ran along the old road. Grass tickled his sides as a field emerged on the side of the road.

"Like it really matters."
Rowan blinked at the tom in front of him, stung. "I was just making a joke," he said defensively, then forced himself to relax. He wasn't gonna let this cat get to him. Uh uh. No way. But as the stranger continued talking to him, Rowan's eyes widing and he let out a dsibelieving laugh. "I was being friendly. What have I ever done to you anyway?" He narrowed his eyes and sat down firmyl at his paws. As much as he hated disliking cats, a wave of resentment was sweeping through him. He wasn't asking this mystery tom to get up a give him a 'Welcome to the Neighborhood Dance', he hadn't even asked for his name.
"Friendly crowd around here, eh?" Rowan drawled sarcastically. The tom started to leave and Rowan bit his tongue so as not to hurl rude comments after him. For all he knew, that tom could be king of the community. But then again, judging by his anti-socialness he doubted that. Or maybe he was nice to everyone else and just didn't like Rowan. Okay, now he was confused. The mood wasn't to last for long though.
"I have seen a tortishell named dapple, actually, and I did notice that you were new to the street."
Rowan really only took in the first part of the other tom's statement. "Wh-what?" he stammered, his heart pounding with excitement and disbelief. Coudl he really have found her already? Would they really be together so soon. But without saying anything else, the tom was leaving. Rowan's eyes widened and he bega to dash after him impatiently. "Wait!" he cried. "Where?" He was starting to lose him. "Where is she?" he called desperatedly. He needed to catch that tom.

"Why she used to be my mate, we had 2 kittens together, Lily and Galieo," said Caly, playing with the young mind of Rowan. "Sh-sh-she was taken away from me" Caly stared to fake cough and cry. He waited for the response of Rowan. Maybe, he could tell him that she lived in a place very far away to get Rowan to leave him alone. "If you haven't noticed Rowan, I don't like to talk, I'm not lovesick, and...I really don't care." He sat down and waited for the little pest to catch up.
Waited until finally Rowan was by his side. "I'll tell everything I know about her if you promise that once I do, you will LEAVE ME ALONE!" spat Caly. He did not like Rowan at all. He looked at Rowan seriously, "Do you promise?"

"Why she used to be my mate, we had 2 kittens together, Lily and Galieo..."
Rowan let out an angry growl. He was almost certain that this tom was fooling with him but...what if it was true? No, no, NO! Dapple had loved him. He had ran after her trying to catch up when she was taking away and fought the huamsn to try and stop them. He had told her he would find her again. But...what if she had found a mate? All of his insecurities came crashing down and he wanted to do nothing more than simply go insane. He gulped. "Y-You're l-lying." He blinked furiously. There was no way he was going to cry. "S-she wouldn't do that to m-me..." He trailed off.
Would she do that to him? What if she honestly had thought she'd never see him again? What if in some crazy way she lo- liked this prick? Had he honestly expected her to wait for him forever even if it meant her unhappiness? No. He had never wanted her to be unhappy. But he had expected her to romatically wait for him. Because she loved him and because he was coming for her. Two very good reasons in Rowan's mind. Or perhaps he was just in love.
He narrowed his eyes again. "Yeah, I noticed," he shot back, determined to regain some ground. At the tom's next statement he gave an incredulous laugh. "Um...of course!" Firstly as soon as I find out where she is I will be leaving for there. Secondly I'm not talking to you because I like you - I'm here to find out about Dapple. So spill it. I promise to leave you to peace and quiet and boringness once you do." His green eyes sparkled mischieviously.

Caly could almost see Rowan's train of thought. He had a puzzled look on his face. "I'm not lying" said Caly, "She was taken away last week." He said convincingly. What if Rowan actually fell for it. That would be hilarious. Caly continued to think of his plan. He would tell Rowan that she had been taken to a far away town called Ursogulabul and then run away. It would be perfect. He listened while Rowan tried to sound strong, but in Caly's mind, he just was making a fool of himself. Yessssssssssssssss! thought Caly, he agreed. Caly started to put his plan into action.
"Good, well she lives in a faraway town with 4 other male cats who shes probably already mated with, and she loves me forever as she said herself" Caly waited for Rowan to ask what the name of the town was. He couldn't wait."The town she lives in is called Yursogulabul" Caly laughed at the disheartened face of Rowan. "Bye, " whispered Caly as he ran off towards the town.

Rowan narrowed his eyes. He was a friendly tom but already he disliked this tom. Strongly. Stupid prat. ""Good, well she lives in a faraway town with 4 other male cats who shes probably already mated with, and she loves me forever as she said herself" He let out a hiss. Uh uh. That was NOT Dapple. No way. It couldn't be....Could it? Involuntarily he let out a small whimper then stopped when he realized how that might make him seem. Weak. "Dapple would never be like that!" he cried but then came to a faltering stop. What if she was? He hadn't seen her since they were a year old, barely no longer kittens. What if... she had changed?
"But Wh-where?" he started to say, needing a bit more information than 'a faraway town'. But the tom stopped him with his next sentence. "The town she lives in is called Yursogulabul" Rowan frowned. Yursogulabul....Yursogulabul... Then it hit him and he felt like the world's biggest idiot and loser all rolled into one. His jaw dropped. No way. This. Was. NOT. Even. Funny. "H-how d-dare-" he stammered, but the idiot had already ran off. He couldn't believe it. This wasn't a joke! He wanted to scream it after him. This was serious stuff.
Prat.

Violet stared down the road to realise that the cause of this scent were two cats. One seemed to be infuriated by the other one. She gestured towards them. They looked almost identical. They were both silver tabbys. Slowly one of the cats began to run towards the town, and then, he disappeared. "Come on Rose, let's go talk to that cat!" Without waiting for a response, she sped down the road towards the other cat.
"Hi" she said nervously, noticing the handsomeness of this new cat. "My name's Violet what's yours?" She shot the tom a friendly smile. "Are you new?" She tried to impress this tom by starting to bathe her sily fur. Suddenly, her chance came, and she took it. "There's something on your fur," she said to the tom, and she leaped forward to wash that area of fur. "There we go, all gone" She really had feelings for him. It was like love at first sight. She stared into his deep green eyes.

Rowan blinked as a random she-cat bounded up from out of nowhere, calling to some other cat, and introduced herself as Violet. "I'm Rowan," he said with an amused smile. Well this resident was much nicer than the first one he had met. Perhaps there were hopes for the cats in this area after all. Especially such a pretty little thing. He smirked. "Yup. Just arrived actually." He grinned and winked at her. It was hard not to. She was cute.
He blinked again as she mentioned something about his fur and leapt forward, licking it clean. Uh okay. She was fast. "Why thank you, Violet," he replied with a flirty grin. He leaned forward slowly and touched his nose to the base of her ear. He touched softly and then pulled back, eyes sparkling. "All gone," he repeated, smiling mysteriously.
((OOC: For any readers, don't worry. This isn't gonna be some cheesy 'and then they knew they were meant for each other the moment they laid eyes on each other' thing. Violet's just like that and Rowan's a flirt, that's all. Besides, we have bigger and better plans for them.))

Violet smiled at his affection. "Would you like to come to the town and explore with me, I've never been to the town before, only the outside areas" She gave Rowan a flirty wink. She stared into his beautiful green eyes. Violet trotted into the ditch to find a flower. She bit one at the roots and pulled it out for Rowan. Dropping at his feet, she lay down on the grass and playfully rolled over.
"I heard that alot of cats live in the town." She glanced at Rose to make sure that she knew that she hadn't forgotten her.

Rowan grinned back at Violet, already liking her enthusiasm and outgoingness. "Sure," he quipped in reply. "Town sounds exciting." But... Dapple wouldn't be in town. Would she? He had always pictured her being in the woods. But maybe she had gone back into town... Okay, now he was slightly confused. "Em... Violet?.... You don't happen to have seen a she-cat named Dapple? I'm looking for her."
But then he felt bad about saying that. He didn't want Violet to think he was going to abadon her already to run off in pursuit of Dapple... even if he was kinda itching to do that. "I mean, I'll go into town with you and all but afterwards you know, I want to find her. She was a, uh, friend from my barn before the humans took her away." He could have said more but he was beginning to feel uncharacteristically uncomfortable. He onyl hoped Violet didn't become mad that he wanted to leave her to go ook for another she-cat. After all, he had said later. So she would understand. Right?

Rose stood behind Violet quietly.
Since a early age Rose had a deep fear of males. She wanted nothing to do with them, this one was no exception.
Males were mean, they toyed with your emotions, and hurt you. The broke up friendships, and ruined releshionships.
Males had a lot to prove before she trusted them.
"Ughhhh, you guys go ahead.
I'll be fine. Just want to ughhhh, explore the road some more."
She looked at her paws. She knew it sounded dumb, and it would probably scare them off, but she didn't care. She was scared of males. She always would be. Nothing could change that.
She liked to meet males too, just on her own, when she knew them well.

Violet said a quick goodbye to rose and then, focused all of her attention back to Rowan. Sorry, no" Violet smiled at Rowan. Yes, they were going to town.... together! "Hey, this town might be confusing, a cat might get lost, I'll come with you to search for Dapple" Violet could see the uneasyness in his eyes. She softened her stare and made her smile look more natural. They slowly walked down the road and into the town "Maybe we'll run into that other cat you were talking, that would be fun, wouldn't it" violet nudged Rowan's shoulder. Violet yawned at the tiredness running through her body.

Rose sighed and turned down the road, heading for no where in particular.
She knew this would hapen, it always did. She messed things up.
Rose could never hold a friendship.
No I've gone and made myself look like a weirdo.
She made up her mind quickly.
I'll give Violet, and that male there space.
I'd just creep them out.
Rose trotted along the edge of the road, not really knowing where she was headed. Now without the protection of Violet, she felt kind of exposed. Like anyone could see her, right through her. She feared someone may abuse that.
Rose quickened her pace and headed for the forest, her only safe place. Where she could be alone. Again.
