Call me a pessimist, but I think both Bombalurina and Demeter had bad experiences with Macavity in the past. Since they are certainly different people, they react to it differently. Demeter stays withdrawn, kind of quiet and hateful about the whole deal. Bobmalurina gets even more flirty, maybe to hide a little bit of a lack of self-esteem? Anyway, it's hard to pin Bomby with anyone jsut now because she flirts with EVERYONE. I think Tugger actually has a bit of a crush on her. He does get up close and personal. Maybe he wants to keep up his image as the lady-killer and that's why he drops her. After all, he is just as flirtatious as she is. I think they should end up together, even though he might like Demeter too as a kind of little-sister thing. But Demeter's too afraid of males in general to be with him. He and Bomby would be good together. However, I totally disagree that she and Munkustrap would do well. They're just totally out of whack for each other. - Sari
