It was a bright and beautiful morning. The sun was high and beaming, the weather was perfectly hot with pleasent gusts of wind and the beach was gorgeous. The cresent waves crashed with exhileration as the foam washed upon the white sands over conch shells and dried up starfish. The toms where all there enjoying the magestic beauty of the Island's beach which was packed with other queens toms and kittens. Some of the Jellicle toms had set up a beach net and began playing a challenging game of volleyball while some soaked up the sun's rays and others surfed the waves. Munkustrap laid peacefully in the sun face up and eyes closed wearing nothing but his red board shorts when suddenly a shadow came over him and he slowly opened his eyes in annoyance. There hoovering over him stood Mungojerrie, wet and with his long ivory surfboard under one arm. "So where the heck are the queens? They should be out here enjoying the beaches and weather." he asked.
"Your guess is as good as mine Jerrie," replied Munkustrap, "now can you step to the side? You're blocking the sun."
And the day continued on. The surfers, Mungojerrie, Tugger, and Alonzo all gave it a rest and brought their boards onto shore to join in on a friendly game of football on the beach. Mistoffolees ran for all he was worth with the ball tucked firmly near his torso. He dodged, faked and leaped over falling toms as they tried to tackle him but it was no use, the black tom had made a touchdown as he and his team cheered. Tugger beat the ground with his fist and cried to Munkustrap who laid stomach down on the sands near him, "How do we let that little squirt get by us each time?" and Mistoffolees answered for him as he walked by the fallen maned tom, "Easy, this lil' squirt knows how to handle the ball and prove that the bigger they are the bigger they fall." and the black cat had dropped the football near Tugger who stood to his feet and took hold of it ready for another play when suddenly a loud siren was heard on the beach. Every eye was brought to a large beach stadium where there were two run way arches in semi circles meeting together and ran back up through the middle of the oval back to the stadium. Lights flew about in different arays of colors as beach party music boomed throughout the shore. Like magnets, masses of felines gathered at the edge of the stadium waiting for something to happen as others began acting crazy and danced to the music. The Jellicle toms had found their place in the crowd up near the front of the walkway's middle edge. Tumblebrutus, Pouncival and Mungojerrie squeezed through the crowd and joined the team of Jellicle toms with a few unexpected beverages, "Hey guys, check this out!! Drinks on the house!"
Munkustrap's eyes widoned as he took a glass, "Margaritas? FREE margaritas?!" and Tugger immediatly took a glass from Pouncival, "What is all this?" and suddenly a waterfall of tequilas and drinks fell upon the raging crowd, soacking the Jellicle toms from head to toe in maragritas and tequilas. Munkustrap laughed and answered Tugger's question, "Never ask question when drinks are free and pouring from the skies!" and Tugger laughed.
Just then a large well built tom strolled on stage wearing a Caliente Island beach t-shirt, bright yellow board shorts, a necklace of colorful flowers, flip flops and silver sunglasses. In his hand he held the microphone and welcomed everyone to Caliente Island and everyone soaked in rum cheered like wild animals. Pleased with their responce, the announcer continued with a shred of thrill in his voice, "Excellent!" and he turned to the cameras that came hoovering towards him from the mechanical rails that framed the stage, adressing the folks at home who were watching. "Here at Caliente Island we have our anual Miss Caliente Island Queen Beach Contest here on the island's beautiful shores. Here on this stage, gorgeous, sexy, candy eyed queens will walk this run way wearing bathing suits that will cause you to go wild. Each queen will step out, present herself, show what she's got and in the end they'll all step out ready for your judgment on who deserves such a grand title and will be awarded with this here crown," and the announcer held up a crown of mulitcolored sea shells and flowers, "and given this here trophy." and off to the side sat a large golden trophy of a feline queen exhalted high on a saphire blue cresent wave. "So let the games begin!" and the crowd cheered as the host stepped to the side with his mic and the curtains opened revealing the fist contestant, a beautiful pure black queen wearing a white bikini in which the top strapped over only one shoulder complimenting her elegant shoulders and long arms. With the beach party music playing and the crowd clapping to the beat, the sleek black queen strutted down the middle of the runway with pazaz and attitude. At the edge of the stage, the Jellicle toms found that they were close enough to touch her ankles. They hooped and hollared with the crowd, holding up their drinks to her with whistles and stray kisses. She stood there, took the mic and presented herself with a soothing voice, "Hi, my name's Shawnelopey from Seattle, Washington." and the crowds cheered as she stepped away from the mic. As she walked away the next contestant made her way up. The Jellicle tom's jaws all dropped. It was Sillabub! She wore a ravishing pastel pink tube top bikini with a beautiful lavender lily behind her ear.
"Good lord!" cried Pouncival who was suddenly having trouble standing up as his eyes widened with each step she took towards the front. "My name is Sillibub from Manhattan, New York." and the crowd went wild. And the day continued on like this. The toms found themselves drooling over the various queens on stage including their own who didnt look like themselves. Every tom on the beach nearly fell over when Victoria entered on stage after a grey and white queen made her way back. The white Jellicle queen wore light blue triangle top bikini with a crown of colorful flowers on her head. As she strutted to the front, Mistoffolees nearly passed out.
"My name's Victoria from Manhattan, New York." and the crowd roared and went crazy with whistles and cheers. A few more felines entered and left till suddenly the red queen herself made herself present. There Bombalurina stood in all her glamour wearing a maroon and black haulter top bikini and rose behind her left ear. She was tall and beautiful beyond words. The toms hollared and apraised her. Tugger was speechless. At the edge of the runway, she took the mic presented her name in the sexiest tone and shook her bottom from side to side as she left them leaving the toms to crave for her return. Finally the last contestant came on stage. There she stood, pure white, saphire blue eyes, wearing a one shoulder strapped black bikini. Her figure was phenomenal. She was tall, elegant and enchanting. Every tom on the beach nearly died from heart failure. She slowly made her way to the front and over the mic in a cheerful voice revealing her pearly white teeth, "Aloha Caliente Island!! My name's Usina from Miami, Florida!!" and the crowd went wild like never before. The white queen then glanced down at the Jellicle toms below her, her eyes on one tom in particular. She leaned over, took Rum Tum Tugger's face in her soft hands and gave him a sudden kiss on the lips. The toms ran in wanting one of their own but the queen stepped back and left the runway. Mistoffolees glanced at Tugger and asked with a frown, "What was that?" but Tugger was in a trance as he watched her leave. Pouncival came up behind and gave him a playful punch in the arm, "Oh buddy!! She was incredible!! You're so freakin lucky!!" and Alonzo threw his arms up in the air, "Why does he get all the queens?!"
"Did you see that?!" cried Bombalurina from behind stage, "That bafoon kissed my tom!!" and just as the heated red queen was about to step out, Demeter quickly stood in her way, holding her back, "Hold it Bomba! She's just trying to get the toms to want her! It's all competition. Just let it go, we're about to make our final runway and get voted upon." and with a heavy sigh Bombalurina nodded and headed back to get ready for the finale. Dressed in her light yellow triangle top bikini, her sister followed.
With the mic once again, the announcer took over, "Wasn't that just the most refreshing event to ever happen on a beach?" and the crowd answered with cries and cheers. "Now we'll have all our contestants step out and Miss Caliente Island Queen of the Beach will be presented." and with large smiles set, the queens all came out in a line filling up the side arched run ways. With them all out at once, the toms couldn't contain themselves. Bombalurina glanced at Tugger from the corner of her eye but was dispmayed to find him gawking at that white queen who stood there in all her glory with a huge triumphant smile and giving out a few waves and blow kisses.
The host was then given a sheet of paper, "The judges have made a tough decision. Out of these lovly felines only four have been chosen for you all out there to pick upon for the title. And those four are...Shawnelope!" and the crowd cheered as the jet black queen stepped foward. "...Victoria!!" and the Jellicles went wild with the audience as the white queen herself stepped up next to Shawnelope. "I knew she could do it!" cried Mistoffolees. "....Usina!!" the crowd busted out with the loudest cry ever over the carshing waves of the ocean. She stepped foward proudly with her large flawless smile. "...and last but definetly not least, Bombalurina!!" the red queen nearly died as she jumped up and down laughing with victory. The crowd went crazy as Tugger joined them crying, "That's my girl!!! That's my baby!!" Feeling a lot better and more confident now that Tugger was rooting for her, she stepped up next to Usina with her own radient smile. And the host turned to the audience and said, "And who do you all choose out of these four gorgeous queens?" and simultaniously, the crowd roared, "USINA!!!" Bomba's heart sank and the anthem played as she was awarded the crown and trophy. The crowd cheered and chanted her name. They loved her, they really loved her. She took her winnings and waved to the audience, thanking them for their vote with blow kisses and laughter. Flower petals and splashes of tequila were thrown at her in victory. Bomba couldnt believe her eyes. The Jellicle toms cheered with exhileration but what tore her apart the most was Tugger. There he was whistling loudly like never before. Usina found him in the crowd, winked at him and gave him a small gesture with her finger to join her on stage. Unable to contain himself, the maned tom leaped up on the stage, ran to her and swept her off her feet. She laughed wrapped her arms around his neck, giving him her crown of shells and flowers. She took his glass of margarita and poured it all over him with glee. The tom laughed and shook his head allowing the drink to fly everywhere. Victoria could have killed Misto, for he too cheered like never before, giving Munkustrap and the others victorious hugs and toasting their drinks to one another. The Jellicle toms were in complete celebration as the Jellicle queens stood there dismayed at their lost and their tom's reaction to Usina's win. Witnessing Tugger's outrageous flirting with the white Caliente Island Queen, Bombalurina felt she was going to cry and ran off stage leaving the maned tom alone yet enjoying his time well spent with Usina.
