This story is based on what happened before the Jelicle ball.
Disclamer; I do not own cats
The moon shone over the junk yard. In two days the Jelicle Ball will be in full swing. Everyone was busy arranging the decorations and choreographing the main dances. Even Rumpelteazer. Mungojerrie was sitting on the boot of the TSE 1. Usually he would be either planning on taking something from his owners or admiring his stolen goods, with Rumpelteazer. But because Rumpelteazer wanted to make a good impression at the Jelicle ball he couldn't. Instead he sat, hoping something interesting came up.
As he waited from the corner of his eyes, he could see The Rum Tum Tugger chasing Bombalurina, who was busy with the little fairy light, through the clearing. Mungojerrie thought to himself that he was that bored and he actually wanted to see what was up with The Rum Tum Tugger.
Mungojerrie walked up to The Rum Tum Tugger, who now had a new accessorie, Etcetera. He looked over to the kitten then back at Mungojerrie who was now running to catch up. once he had made it to Tugger's side, he started to look around.
"Lost something?" Tugger said as looked at the notorious cat.
"No, just wondered where Bomba is"
"Why would you of all cats be looking for her? No you didn't did you?"
"Did what?" Mungojerrie said, confused at what Tugger had said to him.
"Took her spiked collar and worst yet she blamed me. I am off to go tell her. RIGHT NOW. Come on Etcetera."Tugger hissed at him.
"B-b-but it wasn't me" Tugger left as he finished his act of defensive.
How could he get the blame for everything but not his sister. Sure she was helping out with the Jelicle ball so she couldn't of stolen it, but he was more than sure he didn't take it.
