The Jellicles wondered, following Munkustrap down the deserted streets. They had left the burnt forest and bid farwell to the Forest Cats. "I'll forever miss you good friend." said Munkustrap to the Rum Tum Tugger. "You take care of them." replied the maned tom refering to the great new tribe he now had. Munkustrap nodded and was off. They had been wondering for nearly an entire day when they stopped at a far off junkyard. "This is where you brought us?" Tantomile asked with a shriek as she looked around with disgust. Sillabub laughed, "I kinda like it!" and the young kitten ran up a huge pile of junk and stared off at the night's sky. "Oh my gosh! Hey Munkustrap this place has a great view of the moon!!" and the Jellicles glanced up and stood in awe at the size and beauty of the magistic moon that huvered over them. Mistoffelees then released some of his powers bringing small night lights about the junkyard giving it it's unique beauty and a mysterious realm.
"It's beautiful." whispered Rumpleteazer. Just then a sudden noise made the entire tribe jump. They glanced behind them and Munkustrap smiled when he saw Tugger and his tribe. Rum grinned as he shrugged, "We decided to uh...keep you guys company, make sure you all arrived okay ...and..." Tugger then laughed, "I mean who's gonna clean up that mess in the forest right?!" and the junkyard exploded into laughter. It was great to laugh and smile again. Munkustrap welcomed Tugger's tribe and Bombalurina and Demeter hugged along with others as the two tribes joined in as one. Demeter approached Munkustrap and whispered, "You know, you aint that bad ... for a royal chump." and Munkustrap smiled only to then give Demeter a great long kiss that simply swept her off her feet. The others couldn't help but look and smile, glad that all was over and well. Old Deuteronomy then approached the gray tabby. Munku gave him his full attention and the old cat smiled, "Well done my boy." and the two hugged. A tear of joy streamed down Old Deuteronomy's face as he whispered over Munkustrap's shoulder, "Thankyou for redeeming my children, Thankyou."
Munkustrap looked up at the tender hearted cat before him and with a great sense of pain and grief Munkustrap struggled for the words as tears swelled in his eyes, "About Serric..." the tears choked him as one rolled down his face, "...I'm sorry, I was so wrong about him, I didn't..."
With love and understanding, Old Deuteronomy placed a gentle paw on the gray tabby's shoulder as he whispered, 'I know, he was wrong about you too. It's a tragedy yes, but at least it wasn't one to be ended in vain."
Just then a faint singing could be heard. Everyone followed the ghost like sound to the top of a mountain of junk where they found Sillabub staring up at the gorgeous moon above. There she sang to herself with her eyes close, overjoyed with the fact that they were finally free. Her song gradually grew louder causing a few cats to join in with music and dance. Just then the music went from spiritually slow to a rapid showdown like speed. Lights flashed and the cats danced about with flips and chior sang at the top of their lungs. It was like the good old dances and parties they had in the forest but this time it was performed for a whole new reason. A new family that night was formed, a new generation, a new tribe and a new hope. They danced and sang throughout the night with great jubilee and forever it was known as the Jellicle Ball to celebrate their joy, their triumph, and their freedom!

The End
