Disclaimer: I don't own cats but I do own myself that's for sure.





Damn. Cats has closed. I was walking down a pavement when a CATS leaflet glided in front of my feet in the windy London night. I picked it up and surpassed the urge to actually kiss it. So I cleaned it and tucked it into my coat. I turned a corner and saw the entrance to the theater. Only, I must have been dreaming. The lights outside the entrance were lit up as brightly as ever. As I got closer, there wasn't anybody inside but I could clearly hear music coming from inside. I stepped inside and followed the music to the stage. All the while thinking that I must be dreaming. Well. If it is a dream, I don't ever want to wake up. I pushed open the doors and what did I see? The cats dancing on the stage to the music. I didn't know how long I stood there until they noticed me and a particular black and white tuxedo cat walked up to me.

"Hey. What's your name?" Mr. Mistoffelees asked me.

"My name is Phantasia. I can't believe this is really happening!" He smiled and I almost fainted right there on the spot.

"Well, you'd better believe it. Come up and dance with us!" said the Tugger.

"But I can't dance," I replied giving a small laugh.

"Of course you can. All Jellicles can dance," said Jenny-any-dots in a motherly type of way.

"But I'm not a Jellicle."

"Then what are you? You look like a Jellicle," said Etcetera with a puzzled look on her face. I looked down and what did I see? A furry body underneath my coat.

"Oh my gosh! I AM a Jellicle!" I literally shouted with surprise.

"So what are you doing standing down there? Come and dance!" shouted two cats doing some flips and somersaults. Pouncival and Tumblebrutus.

"Yeah! Come up 'ere and dance wit' us!" Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer egged on.

"Don't worry. We won't bite." Said Munkustrap who was standing beside Old Deuteronomy who had, as always, a jovial and kind look on his face. Mistoffelees led me to the stage where I was greeted first by Victoria then the others. Then, the music started and we danced. I immediately recognized it as the Jellicle Ball but didn't bother to ask where it was coming from. And all night we danced, played, sang or caterwauled and talked. I looked around and saw that the props weren't merely just props they were real junk! There was Skimbleshanks sitting on the boot of the car talking with Jellylorum and there was the kittens swooning over the Rum Tum Tugger. Finally, when they said it was time to finish with the Addressing of Cats, I searched through my coat hoping to find a paper of some sort to get their autographs. What I got was the leaflet, but no pen. Well, not a problem, I'm sure Mistoffelees could conjure up a pencil or something.

The first cat I went to was sitting with Victoria. Mistoffelees looked a little surprised when I asked for their autographs, I didn't think that cats would know what autographs were anyway. Yes, I found out that they really were cats and not actors in cat suits. But they agreed to sign the leaflet. One by one, with the Cats pen Mistoffelees produced, I asked for autographs. Thanking them immensely, I put it back into my coat and we did the last song and dance. Once finished, everything blurred and I woke up. I was back in my room in Malaysia.

"All a dream. What a pleasant one that was." But it was still just a dream and cats has closed. I looked around my room and saw my winter coat hanging at my closet door.

"Now how did that get out?" I proceeded to put it back into my closet when a piece of paper fell out. After the coat was back in the closet, I picked up the paper and my eyes widened as the images of the Cats leaflet and the autographs were imprinted into my brain. It was a dream, wasn't it?



Author's notes: My very first CATS fanfic I have finished. This is my first time and I do hope it's ok. Anyway. CATS RULEZ! NOW AND FOREVER!
