Story info for Oc: Peony is the twin sister of Toodles Galore, she grew up in a rich and privileged household, however unlike her sister, Peony prefers a more simple life and would rather enjoy the simple, little things in life than indulge in the expensive tastes of the high class lifestyle.
For as long as she can remember, Peony had always been in love with Tom, however she had never said anything about it to him, mostly due to her shy nature, but also due to his previous relationship with her sister, Toodles.
However, after the Blue Cat Blues incident, Peony had enough of Toodles's mistreatment towards Tom and decided to finally talk to him, acting as a source of light during his dark time.
The two started spending a lot more time together, and after a few months of spending time as friends, the two eventually got together and started dating, they have been together for many years now, and they're still going strong.
*Our story begins on a dark full moon night , we hear the bloodcurdling howls of a wolf as we see the twisted trees of a dark, spooky forest*
*At that moment, we see a timid bluish gray cat, with light gray patches on his stomach and face, and white patches on his paws and muzzle walking through the woods, he has a look of fear on his face*
*He looks around the area aimlessly as he walks the dark path of the forest*
*We then hear a distant voice*
???: Tom..
*The cat's ears perk up at this and he starts looking around*
???: Tom...
Tom: Huh..?
*As he looks around, he sees a hill in the distance*
*He gasps and runs towards it*
*As he runs towards the hill, the voice gets louder*
???: Tom...!
*Upon reaching the hill, Tom sees a black cat with gray paws, and a pink bow standing at the top of the hill, they have their back turned to him as the light of the full moon shines on them*
*Tom's eyes go wide in surprise upon seeing them*
Tom: ...Peony..?
Peony: ...Tom...
Tom: Peony!
*Tom quickly runs towards Peony, he breathes heavily as he rushes up the hill*
*As he gets closer to her, he starts to slowly approach her*
Tom: Peony...?
*He reaches his hand towards Peony as she slowly turns towards him, her blue eyes glisten in the moonlight as she looks at him*
Peony: Tom..!
*They smile at each other as they take each other's hands*
*Tom puts his arms around Peony's waist as Peony puts her hands on Tom's shoulders*
*The two start to participate in a slow dance as a hauntingly beautiful song echoes throughout the area*
*They lovingly stare into each other's eyes as they continue their dance*
*They smile and nuzzle each other's noses*
*As they continue to stare into each other's eyes, Peony's eyes start to change, they become purple, glassy and lifeless*
*Tom gets a worried expression on his face*
Tom: What the-?
*Peony gets a nervous expression on her face*
Peony: Tom..?
*At that moment, darkness starts to surround them*
*Peony stares at Tom in fear*
Peony: T-Tom!?
*At that moment, the darkness starts to engulf her*
*Tom stares at this in horror and tries to grab her*
Tom: No, No! Peony! PEONY!! *He shouts in horror and devastation*
*But it was no use, before you know it, Peony vanished as she was pulled into the darkness*
*Tom starts to hyperventilate, he starts clawing at the darkness, trying to get her back*
Tom: No, no! No please no!
*He then hears a villainous laugh, mockingly echoing throughout the area*
Tom: Who’s there?! C’mon out!
*the cackling continues, but the source of the sound does not reveal itself*
Tom: Gimme my girl back!
*he charges forward, trying to follow the sound*
*He desperately searches around the area, but he can't seem to find the person laughing*
*The laughter continues, seemingly mocking the poor cat at this point, this angers him*
Tom: I swear, I don't know who you are, but if you don't give me my girl back, I'll-!
*At that moment, lightning flashes through the area, accompanied by the roaring sound of thunder*
*Tom jumps up in fear and yowls*
*As he's breathing heavily, he suddenly hears a fearful cry in the dark*
Peony: Help!! Somebody!!
*Tom's ears perk up upon hearing this*
Tom: Peony!? I’m comin’!
*He immediately rushes away, trying to find his beloved*
Peony: Help me!!
Tom: Peony, where are you!? *He shouts in a desperate tone*
*As he's running, the lightning flashes again, only this time it appears to be brighter than before*
*The bolt strikes a tree, knocking it to the ground, inches away from Tom*
*Tom shouts in fright upon seeing this and jumps back, his fur standing on end*
*While he's taking a moment to catch his breath, he sees a bright light in the distance*
Tom: Huh..?Peony: Help me!!
*With narrowed eyes, Tom follows the light and his girlfriend’s terrified screams*
*The lightning flashes again, this time brighter than the last*
*He manages to reach the light, but what he sees shocks him to his very core*
*Right in front of him is a silhouette of Peony, only it appears to be made out of electricity, his eyes go wide in shock*
Tom: Peony..?
Peony: Tom!
*The silhouette tries to reach out to him, as it does this, a large claw mark appears on her chest*
Peony: Tom, help me!! *She screams at the top of her lungs*
*We then cut to a different scene, Tom screams in fright as he sits up**As he's breathing heavily, he looks around to find himself in what appears to be a sleeping area*
Peony: Tom..?
*He shouts in fright and immediately turns his head*
*When he does this, he sees Peony lying next to him with a look of concern on her face*
Peony: Are you ok?
Tom: *pants heavily* N-no. I had a bad dream.
Peony: Oh dear, what was it about?*Tom is trembling all over*
Tom: We were together. W-we were so happy, but then…you just…disappeared.
Peony: Disappeared, how could that be?
*Tom clings to her*
Tom: I don’t know, but whatever it was, I’m just glad you’re here with me now.
*Peony smiles and hugs him*
Peony: I'm glad you're here too, Tom…and I promise you, I will never leave you, no matter what happens, I'll always be with you..
*A smile appears on Tom's face when he hears this*
Tom: Thanks Honey..
*At that moment, another voice chimes in*
Jerry: Hey, can you keep it down!? Some of us are trying to sleep! *He says while standing in the doorway with a pillow in his hand*
*Tom rolls his eyes at this*
Tom: Fiiine..
*Peony giggles at this, she then kisses Tom on the cheek and his mildly annoyed expression softens*
Peony: Goodnight Sugar, sweet dreams.
*And with that, she lays back down on the bed*
*Tom blushes with a small smile and he curls back up, purring*
*We then cut to the next morning*
*We see Tom still asleep on the bed, snoring with a “honk-shoo”*
*Suddenly, a visible stream of scent makes it's way into the room and his eyes flutter open*
*He sits up and the aroma is powerfully appealing enough to make him float into the kitchen*
*Upon entering the kitchen, he is greeted to a beautiful looking breakfast on the dining table, a breakfast consisting of pancakes with syrup, scrambled eggs, toast and jam, and bacon, lots of bacon*
*The spread reflects in his eyes as he licks his chops*
*At that moment, Peony comes into the room, holding a pitcher of orange juice*
Peony: Oh! You're awake! I was wondering when you'd wake up.
Tom: Mornin’, Peony! That spread looks great!
*Peony giggles at this*
Peony: I made all your favorites, I would've woken you up earlier, but you were so cute, I didn't wanna disturb you.
*She walks towards the table and sets the pitcher of orange juice down next to the bacon*
Peony: Robyn and Mr.Helsing went out to get more garlic, but they said we don't have to wait for them, so um..dig in.
*She giggles a little, and walks away*
Tom: Well, don’t mind if I do!
*He grabs some toast, only to do a double take when he realizes Jerry is already clinging to it and eating it*
*Jerry smirks at him*
Jerry: You snooze, you lose.
*Tom glares at Jerry when he says this and tosses the toast and Jerry over his shoulder, causing Jerry to fall into the trash*
*Jerry crosses his arms as he sits on the floor of the trash can*
Tom: That’s where ya belong, ya rat!
Jerry: Hey, there’s a difference between a mouse and a rat!
Tom: I see no difference when it comes to you.
*Jerry crawls out of the can in a huff*
*Tom takes another piece of toast and covers it with jam, he then puts it on a plate before eating it rather messily and getting his fur coated with jam*
*He then starts grabbing pieces of bacon, as he's doing this, Jerry starts making his way towards the top of the table*
*Jerry takes a pancake and starts to drag it across the table, only to stumble and the pancake ends up covering him like a blanket, so Tom snickers at him*
*Annoyed by this, Jerry grabs the syrup and squirts Tom in the face with it*
Tom: Hey!! You asked for it!
*He grabs a piece of bacon and throws it at Jerry, only for Jerry to leap out of the way*
*At that moment, Tom and Jerry are treated to the scream of a certain cat*
*Tom and Jerry immediately look to see Peony standing with bacon on her face*
Peony: What is going on here?!
*She puts her hands on her hips*
*Tom smiles nervously*
Tom: H-Hey Honey..
*Jerry points at Tom*
Jerry: He started it!
*Tom stares at him in offense and shakes his fist*
Tom: Why you little-!
Peony: Boys! Knock it off! It doesn’t matter who started it, I want it to end!
*Tom practically shrinks in his seat when she says this, he stares at her like a sad puppy*
Peony: Now! I want you two to get cleaned up. Do I make myself clear?
Tom: Yes Honey..
*He trudges off with his head hanging low*
*Jerry snickers at this, only for Peony to glare at him with the scariest look in her eyes*
Peony: And that goes for you too, Jerry. *She says in a stern tone*
*Jerry’s smile quickly fades and he darts off*
*Peony pulls the bacon off of her face, she lets out a somber sigh*
Peony: I sure do wish those two would get along better..
*She then takes a bite out of one of the pieces of bacon and appears to brighten up somewhat; her cooking is great as usual*
Peony: Mmm! That's really good.
*She walks towards the sink and grabs a rag*
*She soaks it with water and starts washing her face*
*Tom soon returns, still looking ashamed*
Tom: Sorry ‘bout this, Honey.
*Peony turns her attention towards Tom, still looking somewhat annoyed*
*Tom once again stares at her like a sad puppy*
*Peony lightens up at this and a smile appears on her face*
Peony: Aww..
*She walks towards Tom and gently pets him*
Peony: You know I can't stay mad at you, Sugar..
*Tom feels a bit better from hearing this and his droopy ears perk back up*
Tom: Phew, that’s good to hear.
Peony: But, I do still wanna talk about this.
*Tom's smile fades upon hearing this*
Peony: Now, I know that Jerry can get under your skin, and I understand that, but you have to remember, we're all a part of Mr.Helsing’s team..You and Jerry need to learn to work together.
Tom: He doesn’t always make it easy, y’know. *He says in a reluctant tone*
Peony: I know this, believe me, there's been many times where I wanted to scold him for messing with you, but…
*She takes a deep breath and sighs*
Peony: There'll be times in life where you can't let grudges get in the way of the task at hand. Can you please try to put your grudge aside..for me?
*Tom takes a deep breath and sighs*
Tom: Ok..
Peony: Thank you.
*She gently places her hands on his face*
Peony: I believe in you both.
*She kisses Tom on the forehead*
*Tom smiles at this, he purrs gently*
*At that moment, they hear the door open*
*They turn to see Robyn and her father standing in the doorway, holding grocery bags in their hands*
Peony: Welcome back.
Robyn: Hey guys!
*Their expressions changed into expressions of shock when they saw the mess on the table*
Mr.Helsing: What happened here?
Tom: Now uh..I know this looks bad, but in my defense..Uh..
*He starts looking around, thankfully to see Jerry come out of the bathroom, cleaning himself with a towel*
*Jerry's expression immediately changes upon seeing Robyn and Mr.Helsing, he gets visibly nervous*
Jerry: Robyn! Mr.Helsing!
*He gets a nervous grin on his face*
Jerry: I uh.. wasn't expecting you to be back so soon!
*Tom goes to say something, but he then looks at Peony, who has a saddened expression on her face*
*Tom then takes a deep breath and sighs*
Tom: It…was me. I started it. I’ll fix that if you want me to.
*Peony smiles at him*
*Jerry stares at him in shock*
Mr. Helsing: Hmm. At least you’re willing to own up to it. Better get on it then.
Robyn: Need any help?
Tom: No no, it's my mess to clean.
*He rubs the back of his head as he looks away in shame*
Peony: Oh nonsense! We'll help anyway. Even you, Jerry.
Jerry: Wait what!?
*Peony then gives him the same terrifying stare she gave him before*
*Jerry's body turns white in fear*
Jerry: Ok ok! I'll help!
*he rushes off and gets some paper towels*
*Tom snickers at this*
*At that moment, Mr.Helsing hears the phone ringing*
Mr.Helsing: Oh, I'll get that.
*And with that, he walks away*
*Peony kisses Tom on the cheek*
Peony: Thanks Sugar.
*Tom blushes and smiles at this*
Tom: Anytime Honey.
*As Mr. Helsing listens to the person on the other end, his eyebrow raises as he becomes more intrigued*
Mr. Helsing: I see. We’ll be on our way.
*He hangs up*
Mr. Helsing: We just received a case from Transylvania.
*The gang stares at him in surprise*
Robyn: Transylvania!?
Mr. Helsing: That’s right. There have been sightings of Frankenstein’s monster.
Peony: I-I thought that was only a story!
*Tom turns his attention towards her*
Tom: Peony, we're literally monster hunters..
*Peony blushes and giggles awkwardly*
Peony: Oh…right.
Robyn: Isn't Transylvania the home of some of the world's most frightening monsters?
Jerry: Ah, monsters don't scare me! I deal with much bigger creatures all the time! Remember the time I handed Tom’s butt to him when he messed with Nibbles?
Tom: Don’t remind me.
Peony: You did what? *She says in a tone of disbelief*
*Tom immediately gets nervous upon hearing this, and immediately hugs her to calm her down*
Tom: Um, uh…I apologized for that long ago.
*Peony smiles and purrs as she hugs him back*
Mr. Helsing: Pack your bags, everyone, we must go soon.
Robyn: Ok Daddy!
*And with that, she runs off to go pack*
Peony: Oh I can't wait to go to Transylvania! Oh! What bow should I wear? Should I wear my purple one? No.. Maybe I'll try on my blue one! No.. I wore that for our last case, maybe I'll-
Jerry: What, you think the paparazzi’s gonna be there? Make up your mind already.
*Peony gets a shy look on her face upon hearing this*
Peony: I'm sorry..
*Tom glares at Jerry*
Tom: Jerry!
Jerry: What?
Tom: *looks back at Peony lovingly* Don’t listen to him, Honey, you’re a beaut no matter what you wear.
*Peony smiles at this*
Peony: Aww, thanks Sugar. I'll just wear my pink bow, it's my favorite anyway.
*And with that, Peony walks away to pack*
*Tom watches her leave with an enamored look on his face*
Jerry: You two are so sweet, it makes me sick.
Tom: *still smiling dreamily* Ah, go soak your head.
*Jerry rolls his eyes and walks away*
*Tom let's out a heavenly sigh*
Tom: I love that girl..
*And with that, he walks away to pack*
