A Very Warm Jellicle Feeling

Plato: Afternoon, sis.

Salena: Afternoon little brother.

Plato: 'ave you seen Mackie??

Salena: Plat, I have something to tell you.

Plato: 'e was to give our voice lessons. What?

Salena: Please stay calm for me. Rumi just told me something.

Plato: Ok, I will.

Salena: Mackie was put to a torture by his uncle last night.

Plato: Uncle Mijostromy?

Salena: Yes, Plat him.

Plato: NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 'ow could 'e? 'e was on time right?

Salena: I don't know Plat. I wish I knew more about why.

Plato: I need my Plata right now to calm me down.

Salena: I know she is finding out right now too. Fire, Rumi and Alonzo are going to go tell my father.

Plato: I look up to Mackie. Is 'e 'urting?

Salena: They are going to get him out of there. Tug is also going to help. Yes he is. Rumi is very furious right now and so is Alonzo. Rumi said that he was hurt bad.

Plato: 'e will be ok right?

Salena: I hope so, brother. I really hope so. I have been praying to the Everlasting Cat since Rumi told me what happened. I'm scared Plat.

Jazzi: Salena, I just got the news. Plat is crying sooooooo hard now.

Salena: I know Sis, I too am so worried about him.

Jazzi: Luckily, the Lair isn't too far away.

Salena: Rumi told me that he is going to make sure that Bomby won't overhear them talking to my father about getting Mackie out of there.

Jazzi: Ok, Plat has calmed down a little.

Salena: that's good, right now it's in the Everlasting Cat's hands.

Plato: We 'ave to make sure this never 'appens again.

Salena: I know brother. My father is going to be so furious with your uncle right now.

Plato: I 'ate my uncle now, I never want to see 'im again as long as I live.

Salena: I know how you feel. What he did to Mackie is very wrong, Rumi is so mad right now.

Plato: True did you get Jazzi's letter. I don't want to talk about this anymore.

Salena: Yes I did.

Plato: Ok. She's 'ere with me still.

Salena: How are the kittens today?

Jazzi: Hungry.

Salena: Of course they would be. My mother wants to see them again soon.

Jazzi: Really. Which one did she hold first?

Salena: Ari. Striker just curled up in her lap and didn't do anything.

Jazzi: Not even bite?

Salena: no he didn't bite her at all. Amazing isn't it?

Jazzi: That's a first!

Salena: I know, she has a way with the kittens. Even though Korin did nip her ear again.

Jazzi: He never bites me. I guess it's just a "tom thing"!

Salena: It must be even though he bit my tail the other day.

Jazzi: You're the first queen he's bitten.

Salena: At least not real hard. I guess he saw my tail swishing and went after it.

Jazzi: That's it. Plat is still upset about last night, how he yelled at you and Mackie.

Salena: Tell him it's okay and I am not mad at him for yelling.

Jazzi: The reason is explainable, we had the Manor to ourselves for the first time in a week.

Salena: I don't remember much about last night. That's true.

Jazzi: Anyway, we had the mood set just right. There is a special spot on Plat that I know sends him melting.

Salena: Same with Tug.

Jazzi: Last night when I reached that spot, he didn't feel anything.

Salena: I wonder how come?

Jazzi: I don't know. That's why he said that he had no interest in mating with me. He couldn't feel that.

Salena: That's unusual for him not to feel like that.

Jazzi: It upset him deeply, and with this, I'm afraid it will get worse.

Salena: I don't know sis. I wish I knew how to help him with this.

Jazzi: Is there any way that you can help? He listens to you.

Salena: I don't know how to help him but I can try to.

Jazzi: Ok. He went to get a drink and will be back.

Salena: Okay, I will try my best, but the best cat to ask would be Tug.

Jazzi: Is he there? Drats, he went with Rumi.

Salena: No he is talking to my father right now and I think he will go with them. Yes, I believe so, but Tug will be here tonight with me.

Jazzi: Let's see first if you can, if not we'll try Tug tonight?

Salena: Okay. I just hope that they will be all right.

Jazzi: Ok, me too.

Plato: I'm back.

Salena: I see little brother. Are you feeling better?

Plato: Thirsty.

Jazzi: I'll stand behind Plat?

Salena: Okay. That’s okay too.

Plato: What, you know about my problem from last night?

Salena: I sent something to you at Talk City. I really don't remember much of last night, bro.

Plato: It's never 'appened before. Ok, I'll read it now. Chat Forum???

Salena: Okay I was going to say the same thing. You read my mind again brother dear.

Plato: That way I can read the mail and talk.

Salena: Yes.

Plato: Already in, reading mail.

Salena: okay all most in.

**Plato reads mail**

Plato: That is sweet.

Salena: Thought you would like it.

Plato: Going to print it out and 'ang it up in the Kittens’ Nursery.

Salena: That's good.

Plato: Sorry.

Salena: What happened?

Plato: We got booted from the room

Salena: wow, how come?

Plato: Don't know?? Will you excuse me and my Plata???

Salena: Of course, little brother. Have fun.

Plato: Will you still be 'ere?

Salena: For a short while longer. Then I will be on at 8:00.

Plato: Be back in 5 minutes.

Salena: Okay.

Five minutes later…

Jazzi: Man, talk about a "Mackie" moment!!!!!!

Salena: So I gather.

Plato: There will be more tonight my Plata!!!

**Jazzi blushes**

Salena: You are feeling better aren't you, bro?

Plato: Yes, I lovied my Plata!!

Salena: Of course you love her. I am glad.

Plato: Lovies is another word I use for mating.

Salena: I gathered that. I just wish I had my Tug with me.

Plato: Since I'm still young.

Salena: Only half a year younger than me little brother.

Plato: MACKIE!!!!!!!

Salena: Is he home?

Jazzi: Plat is too excited right now, yes he is.

Salena: Thank the Everlasting Cat that he is. How is he?

Jazzi: Mackie wants to talk to you.

Salena: Please let me talk to him

Jazzi: Ok, here he is. We'll leave the room?

Salena: It's up to him.

Jazzi: He says yes.

Salena: Okay.

Jazzi: We'll keep this window on.

Salena: Okay.

Mackie: Salena, I'm so hurt.

Salena: I know big brother.

Mackie: I don't want Bombs to see me like this.

Salena: Can you tell me what happened? I understand.

Mackie: Yes, I got to the Lair at 12:30. He put me....

Salena: But why would he do this too you?

Mackie: Being late. I want to ..... forget this happened.

Salena: I am so very angry at your uncle right now Mackie. I am just glad that you are home now were you belong.

Mackie: True, Jazzi will help with what I have inflicted.

Salena: I won't tell Bomby unless you want me too. I wish I could be right there now with you.

Mackie: No, I don't want her to know. You already are with me.

Salena: Okay, was Tug with Rumi?

Mackie: Yes.

Salena: I know I am in your heart. I hope you told Tug not to say anything.

**Jazzi and Plato come back into room**

Mackie: Who's Tug???

Salena: My mate, big brother that’s who.

Jazzi: Oh no. Salena, it's Jazzi.

Salena: Yes, Jazzi what is it?

Jazzi: It seems that Mackie is going to be treated like a kitten again.

Salena: That's good, what happened to him?

Jazzi: No it's not good.

Salena: Tell me Jazzi. I need to know.

Jazzi: He has to learn everything all over again. He doesn't know who WE are.

Salena: Oh my, this is definitely bad. He did remember Bomby though.

Jazzi: Right now, he's sitting in a corner, scared to death! He just asked me something.

Salena: What did he ask you?

Jazzi: Who's Bombs???

Salena: Oh my!! Is my father there now?

Jazzi: Yes.

Salena: Can I talk to him please?

Munk: Salena.

Salena: Yes, daddy it's me.

Munk: Hello.

Salena: Daddy what are we going to do?

Munk: I don't know my dear.

Salena: But Bomby, she will be hurt. Daddy I am scared right now.

Munk: I know you are, but we have to wait and see if Macavity can pull through.

Salena: Okay, I will be strong like you are. I am Munkustrap's daughter after all.

Munk: That you are. Smile?

Salena: Thank you for helping me father. I love you. Is Tugger safe, Father?

Munk: Yes he is. That's better, try not to worry too much and help Macavity with his lessons ok?

Salena: I will father, just like you taught me, right?

Munk: Right and don't ever forget what else I taught you.

Salena: I won't Father. I will make you proud of me.

Munk: Ok, I'll be home soon.

Salena: Okay, but don't let mother know what happened or Bomby either.

Munk: I won't let them know.

Salena: Thank you, you do know that Bomby is going to have kittens soon don't you?

Munk: Yes. I do however want to see Plato and Jazzi’s kittens before I leave.

Salena: Tell little Ari, that her aunt loves her.

Jazzi: Here you go Munk, Ari Salena Mystrina.

Salena: What's his reaction to her name?

Munk: She's beautiful, just like Salena!

Jazzi: He loves it, sis.

Salena: I can't believe that I was that young once.

Munk: Neither can I.

Salena: Father, you are going to make me blush, I wasn't that pretty.

Munk: Yes you were.

Jazzi: Here are the rest of them.

Salena: Was I really father that pretty?

Munk: YES!

Salena: Daddy!!! *Salena blushes*

Munk: They are healthy, happy, and very alert.

Salena: Watch out for Striker, father.

Munk: I think that Jester, Plet, Bryn, and Addi will be perfect for lookout duties, don't you? Watch out for who?

Salena: Yes, Father they will. Striker, he likes to bite.

Munk: OUCH!!!!!

Salena: I warned you father, he likes to bite. He didn't bite your tail did he?

Munk: Salena thanks for the warning!

Salena: I warned you in time didn't I?

Munk: No my nose, Jazzi held him up for me to see.

Salena: Kalidor did the same to you remember?

Munk: Yes, and I forgave him too. What is this?????

Salena: I know you did, you are proud to be a grandfather too. What is it father?

Plato: Sorry Munk, this is our troublemaker, Pouncival.

Munk: Oh, I see.

Salena: Don't tell me that Pouncie is wearing the bandana like my Tugger is?

Plato: Yes.

Salena: Know wonder father was confused. Tell father that Aurora and Pouncie love each other

Munk: Salena, tell me a little about Pouncival? Jazzi and Plato left the room. What is he like?

Salena: Well, he is Alonzo and Jazzi's cousin. Tumblebrutus is also his brother. He likes catnip and he loves your granddaughter.

Munk: Aurora?

Salena: He is mischievous. Yes Aurora.

Munk: How is he?

Salena: I know that they are young. He is high spirited.

Munk: What has he done to cause trouble?

Salena: He is six months old right now. He get's into the catnip and he like to race around the Manor.

Munk: Explain to me what catnip causes?

Salena: I really don't know what catnip does, remember you never let me have it. You have to ask Plato or Alonzo about catnip.

Munk: Yes, beacause you are allergic to it.

Salena: So that is why I was never allowed it. Is my twin also allergic to it?

Munk: Yes.

Salena: Father, will we ever find him?

Munk: Probably.

Salena: What do you mean father?

Munk: I think we already have.

Salena: What? Where is he?

Munk: In a minute, ok?

Salena: Okay, mother will be pleased I know.

Munk: How old do you think you are?

Salena: One and half years old, why?

Munk: You are not one and a half.

Salena: Then how old am I?

Munk: One year.

Salena: one year and yet you still let me have Tugger for my mate.

Munk: Yes.

Salena: Who is my brother? Does Tugger know how old I am?

Munk: Yes he does. You came from a family of five. You were still too young to remember, but we raised you as our own.

Salena: What do you mean a family of five? How come I have mother's face and some gold in my fur?

Munk: That's just the way you looked when we first got you.

Salena: Aren't I a grey tabby like you?

Munk: No.

Salena: What am I then?

Munk: I do know about your real parents though.

Salena: Please tell me father, I have to know.

Munk: Your father's name was Growlie and your mother's was Astronoma.

Salena: Plat's my brother? Are you sure father?

Munk: Would you like to talk to your brother…excuse me, brothers??

Salena: But why did you raise me? Yes please. Does mother know about me?

Munk: They wanted you to have a good home, yes she does.

Salena: what about grandfather?

Munk: He does, he was the one that let us do this for them.

Salena: I will still have my Day of Rights in two weeks right? You and mother are always going to be my parents. Father, I just figured out something.

Munk: Yes you will and we always will be, but remember the ones you never knew.

Salena: I will try to father.

Plato: 'ello sister! This is one of your twin brothers Bryn Plato Mystriker.

Salena: Brother, I can't believe this. That's why we linked isn't it?

Plato: Yes it is. The Everlasting Cat brought us back together.

Salena: Mackie and Fire knew didn't they that I was your sister? Yes she did.

Plato: We all knew, we just waited for Munk to tell you.

Salena: But why? Why so long to let me know that you are my siblings? Does Tugger know? I have so many questions.

Plato: We wanted you to connect with us first. No he doesn't know yet. We'll talk about them later.

Salena: But he is the same age as Fire isn't he?

Plato: Yes.

Salena: I still don't understand this, but I am glad I found you and Addi, triplets.

Plato: Understand one thing.

Salena: What? I know you love me.

Plato: We didn't know Tug until we came back to the Junkyard. The reason 'e doesn't know is the same with you.

Salena: Is it because of our uncle, right?

Plato: Yes, while you were with Munk and Demi, Uncle Mijostromy raised us.

Salena: Oh, Plat I wish we were raised together.

Plato: I, too. I do, 'owever know our exact birth order.

Salena: Okay please tell me.

Plato: Fire, Mackie, me, you, and then Addi. You're younger than me by one minute.

Salena: In the middle, I gather Fire and Addi are glad that I am home right?

Plato: Yes, so is Mackie.

Salena: So that is why he said that to me earlier,

Plato: Said what?

Salena: That I was with him.

Mackie: Yes, I did.

Salena: I can't wait to tell Tug. Mackie, is that you?

Mackie: Yes.

Salena: You remember who I am don't you?

Mackie: Don't let him know until tonight. Now I do, but I still will need my lessons again.

Salena: Mackie, I am glad to have an older brother.

Mackie: Me too, a younger sister.

Salena: I will teach you like my father taught me.

Mackie: Ok. When can we begin?

Salena: How about tonight. You need some rest now.

Mackie: Ok, I'll eat, then rest.

Salena: Okay have my father take Misto and Vicki to the yard right now for several days.

Jazzi: He already asked that. So what do you think of all your nephews and two nieces.

Salena: I am very happy about this.

Plato: So are we. 'ang on.

Salena: I am so overjoyed. I will.

Fire: You may not remember me, but I remember you.

Salena: Fire, I love you, big brother, and no I don't remember you. Do I look like our mother?

Fire: Yes you do. I have always called you by your third name that mom and dad gave you when you were born.

Salena: What was it, Fire?

Fire: Mylady.

Salena: So that is why that name felt familiar to me.

Fire: Yes, say it all together.

Salena: Tegan Salena Mylady.

Fire: That's your name.

Salena: I like it, even though I think my first name is strange.

Fire: Tegan is not your family name.

Salena: Was that my full name Fire? What is it?

Fire: Ari

Salena: So I am Ari Salena Mylady, right?

Fire: Yes. That’s why plat named one after you.

Salena: I am glad to finally found all of you.

Fire: Now we are one big family.

Salena: Tugger is going to be suprised too. You have two nephews and two nieces.

Fire: But you will choose your own third name right?

Salena: Right, big brother. I will do it.

Fire: Have you thought about it?

Salena: What color was our mother? Yes I have. How old was I when we were seperated?

Fire: Mostly grey with black splotches and gold eyes. Just a week.

Salena: So I rememberd how old I was. I look like her don't I?

Fire: Yes you do, the gold markings you have are from father.

Salena: I thought so and my green eyes are from him too aren't they?

Fire: Yes.

Salena: I'm glad to know who I am now.

Fire: we have to eat now so Mackie can rest before tonight.

Salena: Okay, love you big brother.

Fire: I will see you later Mylady.

Salena: Thank you big brother.

Fire: You're welcome.

Salena: Love you all and Rumi knew too didn't he?

Mackie: Of course he knew, see you around 8:30?

Salena: Okay, Mackie and take care. I love you and father said that Bomby wouldn’t find out. Tug will be with me.

Mackie: Ok, around 8:30 then for my lessons.

Salena: Yes, Mackie.

Mackie: See you later!!

Salena: See all of you later, even Addi I hope.

Plato: This is one worth saving to post!!!! Would you agree??

Salena: Oh my, the tribe is going to be surprised too. Yes brother I do agree. Does Jazzi know?

Plato: Yes.

Salena: I am glad

Plato: I will work on this tonight.

Salena: Okay love you alot Plat.

Plato: Addi says 'urry 'ome!

Salena: I called you Platty didn't I? I will.

Plato: Platty???

Salena: I can't remember how I pronounced your name.

Plato: Plasto. We'll find out more later.

Salena: Okay Plasto.

Plato: Alright, Mena.

Salena: Okay Plat, sorry.

Plato: You called Addi the cutest one though.

Salena: what did I call him?

Plato: I'll let 'im tell you.

Salena: Oh shoot, I was going to call him that tonight.

Addi: You called me Pletus, cause I looked like Plasto.

Salena: Pletus, sorry Addi.

Addi: It's ok, Plasto really IS his name!

Plato: No it's not!!!

Salena: I love you two, my twins.
