"MUNKUSTRAP! Hurry! Come quickly! Its, its, its DEMTER!"

Munkustrap awoke with a start. He had to hold back the tears. Only a few nights ago, Demeter, soon to be his mate, came down with a horrible illness. Nobody, not even Jenny and Jelly could figure out what to do. Just a night ago, Bombalurina had screamed Munkustrap’s name for hours before he reached the junkyard… Demeter had no pulse, and wasn’t breathing. Munkustrap curled back up inside the tire, trying to sleep, but his eyes remained open… He crawled down into the room under the tire, and sighed. Old D, his leader, had also become ill. Jenny and Jelly said he really didn’t have much time… But it wasn’t a real illness, it was just the leader’s age catching up with him.
Old D was laying down in the corner of the room, Jennyanydots was sleeping in another corner, with Silabub under a quilt. Munkustrap climbed up the tire again.
-I thought the Jellicle Ball was a lucky day.. Only a week after the ball, and already bad things are happening..- He thought bitterly.
Old D had chosen Gus the theater cat to go to the Heaviside layer, and things had just sort of gone downhill from there….
"Hi Munkustrap…" Electra said as she climbed up the tire. Ectetera rolled into the junkyard, followed by Victoria, and the rest of the younger Jellicles. "Hello Elle.." Munkustrap said, resting his chin on the tire. Electra frowned, searching for words, she nuzzled Munkustrap, then bounded down the tire to her friends.
"Munkustrap!" Munkustrap turned his head, this time in the direction of the tunnel, the notorious twins, Rumplteazer and Mungojerrie ran into the junkyard.
"Munkustrap ya must come quickly!" Rumplteazer shouted, motioning towards the tire.
"Mistoffelees!" Munkustrap shouted to the magical tom on the other side of the junkyard. "Take care of the Jellicles. I’ll be back soon…" With that, he dashed after the twins.

"So, as Mungo and I ‘ere runnin’, we ran inta her!" Rumpleteazer yelled as the three dodged through traffic.
"So you two left her there by herself?" Munkustrap asked as they dodged a truck.
"Naw! We left Tanto and Cori wit her!" Mungojerrie said as they ran onto the sidewalk, and into the park. They ran towards a part of a forest that was hardly ever used by the humans. After a few minutes to catch their breath, Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer took Munkustrap to an old shed. When they entered, the twins, Tantomile and Coripracat looked up at them. On the wooden floor beside them, on an old quilt, was a young queen. Well, maybe not young, about Munkustrap’s age.
She was a gray tabby like him, but she had orange socks, and orange stripes on her tail, and as Munkustrap neared her, he also found out she had an orange halo, and red ear tips. She was bruised, and beaten, breathing heavily. "You said you found her like this?" Munkustrap asked, looking at the four others. They nodded in unison. Munkustrap cocked and eyebrow at the way they nodded. Tantomile and Rumpleteazer nodded at the same time, and when their heads were down, Mungojerrie and Coripricat’s heads were up at the same time. Nodding at the same time… but not…. Munkustrap turned his attention back to the queen.
"We’ve got to get her back to the junkyard… Hopefully Jenny or Jelly will know what to do." Munkustrap rolled the queen over, and picked her up, one paw behind her neck, the other under her knees.
"Do you know of a shortcut? I don’t feel like running through traffic again…" Tantomile and Coripricat looked at Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer who grinned inoccently, and slapped secret high fives.

"Jenny, Jelly!" Munkustrap called as he, and the twins climbed down the tire into the secret room, still carrying the queen. Old D was sitting up, Jenny was beside him, they were talking about something, and Jellylorum was waving ‘bye’ to Silabub who was leaving.
"Yes Munkustrap?" Jelly said as Jenny turned around. "Oh deary." Jenny said as he placed the queen on the ground.
"Mungojerrie, Rumpleteazer, Tantomile and Coripricat found her like this some where around Victoria Groove." Munkustrap said, sitting down. Jenny and Jelly walked towards them. The two twin sets decided it would be a good time to leave, since the secret room really wasn’t all that big.
Jenny lifted the queen’s eyelid, and frowned.
"Do we know her name?" Jelly said, checking her pulse. Munkustrap shook his head.
"Well, her eyes are glazed over but she’s breathing…" Jenny said, Jelly nodded.. "It doesn’t look like she has any broken bones, just a few bruises… she has some bad claw marks here…" Jenny pointed out as Bombalurina walked in. "Bomby, come here." Jenny said.
Bomby, along with RumTumTugger, had rescued Demeter from Macavity the day after the Jellicle Ball. They left as soon as Macavity did, so no one else knew of their disappearance until they re-appeared. Bomby and Tugger had been cut, clawed at, bit, tossed and bruised by Macavity. Jenny pondered over the question of weather this queen was attacked by Macavity, that’s why she called Bomby over, to see if the claw marks matched, which they did.
The gumbie queens looked at each other.
"Macavity." They said, Bomby frowned, and looked at Munkustrap, who had his ears pinned back.
Munkustrap felt that ever to formillar lump in his throat as the queens said ‘Macavity’. He was so used to Demeter saying it.. he’d never hear Demeter say it again though.
"So she’s all right then?" He asked, trying to take his mind off his lost love. "Yes deary, she’ll be fine in a few days." Jelly said as she left to find a quilt and some other things for the queen. "And when she does wake up, we must know her name." Jenny smiled kindly, Bomby smiled back. Munkustrap only nodded solemnly, and climbed out of the tire leaving the queens frowning at each other.

The next few days, Munkustrap spent worrying about many things: Bombalurina had become pregnant, so this was a worry. Where would the kittens stay? Would they be born all right? Many questions emerged through all the congrats the queen received.
Old Duetoronomy was having troubles, lots of them. He was hardly able to see or eat, and Jenny gave him only a few more days.
Mistoffelees had been working on his magic, and accidentally, turned Victoria purple. Though Mistoff denies it, he said that Victoria interrupted him, when Victoria said that she was sleeping at the time. The siblings instantly ‘never wanted to see or speak to each other again’. Munkustrap got a bit of joy, how many times had he heard them say that before?
And then there was the queen. The new queen, the one without a name. She was getting better, but she was questionable. Would she be kind to the Jellicles? Or be like Macavity? Munkustrap was the only one to answer all the questions, since his leader had already given the tribe to him.
"Munkustrap?" Munkustrap climbed off the car, and down into the tire as Jenny called him. He looked at Jenny, who was sitting next to the tabby queen, who was awake, and sitting up. She looked over at Munkustrap. Her left eye was a fiery, reddish orange, but her right eye was a glass green.
"Munkustrap, this is Hyperistithianniesbuea, Hyper for short. Hyper, this is Munkustrap." Jenny said. Hyper looked at Munkustrap, he nodded slightly, and could only wonder why the queen looked so aloof. "She said it was Macavity,"
"But I’d rather not talk about it." Hyper added. Munkustrap nodded understandably. She had an accent, but Munkustrap couldn’t quite place it… It wasn’t British, or Cockney, but it was something.
"Well Hyper, like Jenny said, I am Munkustrap…" He looked over at the sleeping Duetoronomy, and then down at the floor. "The leader of the Jellicle Tribe." Jenny frowned, Munkustrap glanced over at her then looked back at Hyper. "If you would like to stay here, your welcome to." Hyper frowned, and nodded. Munkustrap left abruptly.

"Was, was it something I said? Or… didn’t say?" Hyper asked looking at Jenny, and pulling the quilt around herself.
"No deary. His, his mate just died a few days ago, and.. well, he isn’t taking it well." Hyper nodded.
"How are you feeling?" Jenny asked standing up, and feeling Hyper’s forehead.
"Cold, but other than that, I am fine." Hyper said, pulling the quilt closer. "Well, I have to tend to Duetoronomy. Why don’t you go check out the rest of the junkyard? Its a nice, cozy place." Jenny said with a smile, then turned to Old D.
Hyper watched her for a few minutes, then climbed out of the tire. She peeked above the rim, and it took her a few minutes to adjust her sight from the otherwise darkness of the other room, to the bright morning sunlight that was now streaming into the junkyard. Only a few of the cats Hyper presumed were Jellicles were there.
There was a dark reddish queen with a white streak and quite visibly expecting. She was standing next to a… well, a rather good looking black tom. He was all black, with a lionish mane and leopard spots on his paws. A few little kittens were around, there was a calico kitten who’s fur was wild and pointed, next to a creamish brown and spotted tom. On the other side of the junkyard, there was a… wait a minute! That cat is purple! Hyper thought. A purple cat… she frowned, and looked at the tom beside the purple cat. The tom was all black, besides some white on his face and chest. He was waving his paws in the air with his eyes closed. Hyper looked around, and then upwards, over an old car, and towards an old clock, there was Munkustrap. He was laying next to the clock, his tail dangling over the edge, he looked very upset. Hyper frowned.
"HEY! You! Aren’t you the new cat that Tanto found?" The calico kitten said, as she and the tom she was with walked towards Hyper. Hyper blinked a few times, and the tom grinned, moving closer.
"Cool, her eyes are two different colors Sill!" He said. Hyper pinned her ears. "Oh, hehhe, introduction! I’m Silabub, and this is Pouncival." (Could you guess who they were before they introduced themselves? Could ya? Huh? Was my description descriptively descriptive enough?)
"Who are you?" Silabub asked, climbing up onto the tire. Hyper moved aside, Sill looked at Pounce with a questioning look on her face.
"I’m Hyperistithiannniesbuea…" Hyper said. Sill and Pounce looked at each other again.
"And Jellylorum said Asparagus was a fuss to pronounce."
"Do you have a nick name? Something else we could call you? Hyper, Hyp… Isbuea?" Sill asked.
"Hyper is fine." Hyper muttered, resting her head on the tire. Silabub frowned, and looked over her shoulder.
"Elle!" She bounded down off the tire towards a brown, white, black and cream colored kitten. Pounce flipped and followed her. Hyper sighed, frowned, and climbed back down into the secret room.

"MUNKUSTRAP! Hurry! Come quickly! Its, its, its DEMTER! MUNKUSTRAP! HURRY!"
Munkustrap jerked himself awake, and sighed, the nagging and painful dream just never ended.
Well, Bombalurina was due any day now, and Hyper had become a rather promising Jellicle. She’d made friends with a bunch of the younger kittens, not to many Jellicles of her age. She’d already hurt Tugger’s pride, but apologized to Bombalurina later. She normally stayed to herself, either on the old car, or on the tire. Munkustrap spent most of his time down in the tire room with the ever weakening Old D, or up by the old clock were he and Demeter shared a little moment before the Jellicle ball. He looked down at the junkyard as Hyper climbed out of the tire. The tabby queen yawned, and stretched, Munkustrap sighed, and laid his head in his paws. He blinked a few times as he heard pawsteps on the old car as Hyper curled up.
Hyper sighed, and her tail twitched a few times, she grinned slightly. She was in direct sunlight, and boy it felt good. That little room under the tire could get cold. She heard a cough, and looked up at Munkustrap, she frowned, she really did feel bad for the tom, but didn’t know enough about him to send her good wishes.
Munkustrap frowned, it had already been three weeks since Demeter’s death, he might as well make friends with Hyper, I mean, why shouldn’t he? Isn’t a good leader everyone’s friend? He already, over the years and other Jellicle balls, earned everyone else’s respect and friendship, so why shouldn’t he try to do the same with the new queen.
He peeked over the edge of the board. Hyper was curled up, but awake, just kind of staring off into space. He frowned, and sighed. He stood up, and walked down towards her.
Hyper, thinking about Macavity, jerked as she heard paw steps on the car, she looked up as Munkustrap appeared.
"Hi…" She said and laid her head back in her paws.
"Sorry I’ve not been… talking to you lately. I’ve got a lot of problems on my paws." He said, and sat down beside her.
"Understandable." Hyper said. Munkustrap frowned, was she purposely trying not to talk to him?
"So, where are you from?" He said, trying to make simple conversation.
"I was born in Ireland, but then I was moved to Victoria Groove." Hyper said, maybe she was going to talk to Munkustrap.
"I could tell, you have a thick accent."
"Really?" She sounded almost disappointed.
"That’s not a bad thing.. A lot of the Jellicles have accents. Lets see, Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer, Jennyanydots, Skimbleshanks.." Munkustrap and Hyper turned their heads as RumTumTugger ran in, carrying Bomby.
"MUNKUSTRAP!" He cried, Munkustrap slid off the car, and ran towards RumTumTugger.
"What?!" Munkustrap asked, looking at Bomby.
"She’s …. She’s!" RumTumTugger stuttered, obviously panicked.
"OOOW! Just go get Jenny & Jelly!" Bomby screeched. Munkustrap frowned, and looked over at the car.
"Hyper! Open the trunk to the car so Tugger can lay Bomby down. I’m going to get Jenny and Jelly." Munkustrap leapt into the tire. Hyper opened the trunk just as Tugger reached the car. He laid Bomby down.
"Jenny! Jelly!" Munkustrap said as he hit the ground of the secret room. Only, Jenny was the only gumbie cat down there. "Jenny, you must come quickly. Tugger just walked in with Bomby, she’s in labor." Jenny nodded, and climbed into the exit tunnel as Munkustrap climbed back up towards the tire. He didn’t bother to ask why Jenny left the other way. He knew she was going to her place to get some equipment.
When he got back to the tire, Bombalurina was squeezing Tugger’s paw, Tugger was clearly not as happy as he thought he would be, Bomby had a strong grip.
"Deary, what a great day to go into labor." Jennyanydots said as she ran over. The sunlight was streaming through the clouds, and into the junkyard. "Tugger?" Jenny said, looking at the tom. "Your Bomby’s supporter, all queens should have their toms around while giving birth." Jenny smiled warmly. "Ok Bomby dear," Jenny said, sitting down by the queen. Hyper pinned her ears, and walked up towards the old clock to lay down. Munkustrap watched her, confused. Kitten birth is such a happy moment, why didn’t she care to watch? Maybe it was sickening to her… He frowned, and looked at the three Jellicles. Jenny was instructing Bomby on how to push, while smiling at Tugger who was trying his best not to tell Bomby to let go of his paw. Munkustrap climbed up towards the old clock, and Hyper.
The queen looked over at him, and pinned her ears again, sitting up.
"What’s wrong?" He asked.
"What makes you think something is wrong?" Hyper asked, clearly avoiding the subject. Munkustrap understood, he wouldn’t want to talk to anyone about Demeter, so he wasn’t going to push Hyper into talking.
After about two hours of labor, Bombalurina had given birth to five kittens. Two boys, three girls. They were still to young to know who they would favor, but they all looked like Tugger at the moment.
"AW! There so cute! Congratulations Bomby and Tugger!" Silabub said. She, Pouncival, Electra, Ectera, Tumblebrutus, Quaxo, Victoria and Mistoffelees had walked in the last few minutes of Bomby’s labor. Munkustrap smiled, and looked up at Hyper, her face was turned away from the Jellicles, he frowned. She looked utterly miserable.
Tugger, who was shaking out his sore paw, looked over at Munkustrap, who’s smile faded into a frown, he turned his head in the direction the striped leader was looking. He was looking at that new queen, what was her name… oh yes. Hyper. He cocked an eyebrow.
Munkustrap turned to look at Bomby, who was sitting up with her hand around Tugger’s waist. Tugger picked up one of the kittens, and smiled at Bomby. The Jellicles were left staring at the tire, when Munkustrap left the scene abruptly.
"Take……. It……. Easy Munkustrap. Everything will…….. be……. All right in time." Old Dueteronomy was watching Munkustrap as he paced back and forth. "Losing….Demter was hard on you….. but….. you must think…… of your tribe…." Munkustrap frowned, and sat down beside his father.
"Its just… so hard." He said, looking at the ground. "I though after Bombalurina’s kittens were born I wouldn’t have any more problems. But I do…. Hyper."
"Hyper? The new queen?"
"Yes. She…. I don’t know. She really seems like a nice queen, but I had the oddest dream about her last night… She was talking to Tugger, when Macavity showed up. Tugger stepped infront of her, but she knocked him over, an ran to Macavity." Munkustrap looked at Deuteronomy.
"Well, sometimes dreams are omens, sometimes, they are just merely visions." "Let’s hope the only omens I get are good ones." Munkustrap muttered, and fell asleep.
"Hhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyppppppppppppeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr! Oooh Hyper!"
Hyper nearly fell off the old car as she woke up. She looked around the junkyard, breathing heavily, but Macavity wasn’t there. She sighed and laid her head back in her paws. "Bad dream?" Munkustrap said as he looked over at her from the tire.
"Yes…" Hyper said, sitting back up as Munkustrap climbed up the car. "Care to talk about it?" He said as he sat down next to her.
"Not really." She frowned. Munkustrap sighed, and looked up at the moon. "It was Macavity." Hyper said, Munkustrap turned to look at her. "He was calling me again." She said, looking at the car. Munkustrap winced, just like Demmi, he thought miserably. "He was chasing me through his hide-out…" She pinned her ears, and Munkustrap wanted to hit himself, she was really broken up about it, and he was the one who wanted her to talk about it. "He cornered me in a long hallway, and was telling me how he was the only on who would ever love me. Again." Hyper started talking faster, and tears swelled up in her eyes. "He said I should forget about my family, for they were never going to find me. And if they did, what then? They didn’t want me, that’s why my father gave me to Macavity, because they didn’t want me!" Hyper buried her face in her paws, and started to cry.
Munkustrap felt horrible, and put his arms around Hyper’s shoulders. Hyper leaned in towards him and soon had her head on his chest.
A few minutes later, after Hyper had calmed down a bit, she sat up at looked at Munkustrap. He smiled at her and lifted his ears. She got up, and walked away. Munkustrap frowned, and watched as she jumped behind some railing and disappeared into Tugger’s entrance… no doubt going back to her place… one that she told Victoria she had found a few days ago.
He frowned, just from being picky, he’d upset Hyper, and probably found out more then he really wanted to about the queen. He sighed, and pinned his ears, and was startled as thunder boomed and rain started to pour down from the now darkening Jellicle Sky. He climbed into the trunk of the car, and soon fell asleep… tossing and turning with his dreams of Demeter….
"Munkustrap?" He looked at the opening of the trunk and sat up crawling out of the trunk. Jenny, Jellylorum, Tugger, Bombalurina, their kittens, Silabub and Pouncival were all standing outside the trunk. All with gloomy faces. He frowned. "What’s wrong?" Tugger put his arm on Bombalurina’s shoulder as the queen cuddled with their kittens.
"Munkustrap, last night, after it started raining… Dueteronomy… well.." Jenny started off. Munkustrap frowned, and nodded. He understood. After the other Jellicles departed, he climbed back into the trunk. He laid down on his back, staring up at the roof of the trunk. He sighed, and soon fell asleep.
"HHHHHYPER!"
Hyper screamed and jumped clear out of the tire… not the Jellicle tire, but another tire in Victoria Groove. She took a deep breath, and calmed down, another dream.
"Hyper.." She screamed, it wasn’t a dream! She turned her head, and sure enough, there he was. "Hyper, must you react like that? It almost makes me feel like you don’t love me any more…"
Hyper looked over her shoulder, she saw two pairs of gleaming eyes, it was Mungojerrie, and Rumpleteazer…Damn.. couldn’t she ever get away from them… oh well, she figured she’d just play along with Mac.
"M-m-macavity! What are you talking about? I never loved you in the first place…" Macavity’s face lit up, he got it.
"Ah, I see." He left just as Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer jumped from the shadows.
"Boy thot woz close!" Rumpleteazer said, looking at Hyper. Mungojerrie nodded.
"Yeah, close.." Hyper mumbled.
The next few days, Munkustrap began a new look and way for the junkyard to be. He figured that since he was the new leader, why not make a few changes, he decided to take some votes as to what to change… And, just as he suspected, the Jellicles wanted the ball to be at least twice a year. All the jellicles were there, all but Hyperistithianniesbuea, and a few of the toms.. oh well. He'd told the toms when the meeting was, it was their fault they were missing it.
So he was standing on the tire as all the Jellicles talked he held his paws up and the junkyard was silent, all but Pouncival and Sillabub who were trying not to laugh. "Due to many, many votes from you all," He started off, Bomby and Tugger’s kittens were becoming restless, and the two cats were discussing what to do with them.. Odd. How the litter turned out. The two boys resembled much of Bombalurina, while the two girls resembled Tugger. All but one girl, who was all black, but looked like both parents. "I have decided to make the Jellicle ball, not one, but," Munkustrap smiled, and then noticed Hyper walk into the junkyard… she didn’t walk in though.. she fell….
****************
Hyper finally convinced Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer to leave, after they’d left, making sure she was really O.K., she put a paw on her hip.
"Their gone…" She muttered, Macavity slipped into the light.
"Well, thank you Hyper, truly noble of you. I’m sure you wouldn’t want me to blow your cover by hurting one of your…. Friends now would you?" Hyper rolled her eyes, and walked towards Macavity.
"Of course not…." She smiled, and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, he put his paws behind hers, on the small of her back.
"So how’s your investigation going, as far as Munkustrap, and those Jellicles?" Hyper shook her head.
"Aw, as good as it gets! I know lot’s about them already…" She smiled, and touched her nose to his, they both turned their heads as they heard footsteps… "I’d better be going, I’ll see you later…" He kissed her check, and wondered off.
"Hyper!? Your betraying us?" Hyper gasped, and turned her head, Plato, Tumblebrutus, George, and Ghengis stepped forward…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was a dark, dark night… Munkustrap was in the center of the junkyard, Hyper, nearly dead, or so it seemed, was in his lap. His arm was behind her head, Cassandra was sitting behind him, her paw on his right shoulder, looking at Hyper.
Bombalurina couldn’t believe it, who would want to hurt a nice gal like Hyper? Bomby herself had come to enjoy the queens company. Why, just two nights ago, she and Hyper were talking about her kitten’s futures, now, here she is. Beaten and bruised. Worse then when they first found her, how could Bomby help?
Tugger shook his head, he was holding two of his kittens, Ramrufsic and Rascusfelus, who were oddly silent. He frowned, the only thing he could think about, was Munkustrap. You’d have to be an idiot to not see how strongly he felt for this queen, since Demeter’s death, it must be hard to love another queen. Tugger frowned. He’d never understand that feeling truthfully. Oh yes, he loved Bomby, but don’t get me wrong, he had his fantasies. He only wished there was something more he could do to help his new leader..
Jennyanydots walked into her house, looking for her medicine kit, a nice quilt, and some other various items. She could hear Jellylorum talking to her, and tried to concentrate on both things at once. Hyper was hurt again.. this kitten sure knew how to get into trouble didn’t she? Just like Rumpleteazer and Mungojerrie when they were little. Jenny smiled, she remembered taking care of two little calico kittens… She frowned again as Jelly announced she’d found a quilt. Munkustrap was counting on the gumby cats to bring the day around. Munkustrap.. Jenny smiled again, she remembered the day Munkustrap was born. She was just a young queen, not to young, but in her prime. Duetoronomy was with his fourth queen. Could she and Jelly really turn this horrible day around?
Munkustrap was rocking Hyper back and forth, she had just woken up, and from the looks of it was in terrible pain. Suddenly Macavity ran into the junkyard, following him were some of the missing toms.. Plato looked really bad… Like he’d been in a fight, Macavity didn’t look to good either. Everyone in the junkyard gasped.
Macavity leaped up on to the tire, and glared down at Munkustrap, he looked at Hyper, and Munkustrap could have sworn his eyes softened, as if Macavity had been hit.
"Give her to me Munkustrap…" He said, clearly meaning every word. Munkustrap stood up, still holding Hyper, Mungojerrie, and the rest of the younger toms stood beside him. The older toms, such as Skimbleshanks and Bustopher Jones, huddled the queens and younger kittens back.
"No." Munkustrap said firmly. Macavity stepped down off the tire, and glared at Munkustrap, Mungojerrie and Tumblebrutus stepped forward as well. Hyper moaned, and pushed away from Munkustrap, stumbling towards Macavity. Everyone held their breath. Macavity stepped forward, and picked Hyper up, she leaned in towards Macavity, wrapping her arms around his neck. Munkustrap winced, clearly upset. Cassandra pushed away from Skimbleshanks, and ran up to Munkustrap slowing down as she neared him. She put a paw on his shoulder, he looked at her, then back at Macavity.
"Heaviside help me Munkustrap, if Hyper doesn’t make it through… you’ll never hear the end of me…" Macavity said as he walked away.
The strange thing is, no one made a move towards Macavity, and Munkustrap didn’t try to stop him.
After Macavity was well out of the junkyard, everyone turned their eyes towards Munkustrap. His head was down, but he was standing, talking to Cassandra, they were standing by the old truck. He lifted his head, and smiled at her, she smiled back. He took her up on the tire with him, and turned around.
"I really don’t know how to… start back up… Plato, how are you feeling?" Munkustrap looked at the tom, who was sitting to one side with Victoria.
"All right I guess.." He said, Munkustrap looked at the gumby cats, they grinned at each other, and nodded, walking over to Plato. "Like I was saying, since so many of you have asked for the Jellilce ball to be more then once a year, it will now be four times a year…" Munkustrap’s speech carried long into the night.

"AHAHHAH!" Macavity couldn’t help laughing, he gave Hyper a high five. She was dancing, yes, dancing. "We got ‘em! We got ‘em!"
"Ya hear that Sparka! We got ‘em!" Hyper said, turning to a cage in the corner. Her sister, Sparkaljiggle turned away. She was an orange tabby, like Skimbleshanks, only with a black halo, black ear tips and black socks.
"Aww, look, she’s upset." Hyper snorted, holding back her laughter. Macavity walked over, and put his arm around Hyper’s waist, then looked in on Sparka. "I bet she wanted to go with the Jellicles?"
"Hey, isn’t that what we planned on doing anyhow?" Hyper muttered, and rubbed her head. "I mean, she’s no use to us anyway?"
Sparka turned around, holding the bars of the cage. Hyper wondered over to the sink to wash off the fake wounds, and care for the real ones. Macavity laughed, and walked towards the cage.
"Hm, well," He stood up, and walked around the room. "She knows the trick we played on the Jellicles, correct?" He looked at Sparka, she nodded sadly. "She knows the location of our hideout, also correct?" He said, turning to look at Hyper, who was drying off her paws. "So, the only way I’ll agree to that, is if we give her amnesia." He said wickedly, turning to look at Sparka. She shrunk back into the corner of the cage.
"Amnesia…. Well, the only way we could give her amnesia is if…." Hyper said, then turned to look at Sparka’s cage, grabbing the keys off the wall.

Oooh bother! What is Hyper up to noW!?
