Part 1
Four young kittens by the name Munkustrap, Tugger, Admetus and Asparagus Jr. were running around in the junkyard, watched by their parents. They were being watched by two toms named Skimbleshanks and Gus, his real name was Asparagus but most cats called him just Gus and they were also watched by the two queens Jellylorum and Jennyanydots. Across from them sat some princesses and watched them play-fight. They were called Demeter, Bombalurina, Exotica and Cassandra. They giggled as Munkustrap pushed Admetus off of him and the kit fell into a puddle of mud.
"Let's go outside", Munkustrap said as he pressed Tugger down on the ground.
"We're already outside stupid", his younger twin said.
"I mean outside the yard", Munkustrap whispered.
"We can't", Admetus said. "Mum and dad are watching."
"Jelly and Gus won't notice."
"The girls will tattle", Asparagus, being the youngest said.
"Nu hu", Munkustrap said. "We can ask them to come too!"
"They won't wanna."
"Of course they will", Tugger said and smiled. "Watch this."
The princesses were talking about a cute tom Cassandra and her twin sister had seen in town when they got here. They notice Tugger come towards them.
"Oh here comes Casanova", Demeter said and rolled her eyes.
"Back of sister", Bombalurina said. "He's mine!"
Demeter rolled her eyes again.
"Good afternoon ladies", Tugger said and bowed.
"Hey Tugger", the girls said.
"Would you like to accompany me and my band of merry kits on a stroll outside the yard?"
The girls stared at him.
"Are you joking Tugger", Cassandra asked. "We're being watched. We won't be able to leave."
"And Coricopat and Tantomile will tattle on us", Exotica said and nodded towards the twins in the shadows.
"No they won't", Tugger said happily. "They enjoy seeing us get into trouble on our own. Coricopat never tattles."
"But his sister does", Demeter grumbled. "She tattled on me yesterday!"
"So if she's around Cori she won't. So you fine ladies wanna come?"
"Absolutely!" The four of them said and followed Tugger.
They were walking down the street in a happy mood. None of them could understand how the grownups hadn't noticed their disappearance. But they had escaped while pretending to play hide and go seek.
"This is fun", Admetus said as he jumped into a water puddle. "Why won't mum and dad let us go out more often?"
"Don't look", Munkustrap growled. "But we're being watched."
Of course all the kittens looked back and saw Tantomile hide behind a corner.
"That sneaky little... bitch", Bombalurina growled.
"Whoa", Tugger smirked. "Who taught you that word?"
"Rubia", Bombalurina said happily. "She was calling Casablanca a horny bitch... whatever that means."
"Don't let mum hear you say those words Lina", Demeter said and looked at her older sister.
"Is Jenny that bad", Asparagus asked as he jumped into a puddle of water and splashed it at Munkustrap.
"Yeah..."
"Oh mummy look kittens!" A little girl squeaked and ran over.
"Kelly stay away from them", a woman obviously her mother caught her arm. "They're strays and might have diseases."
"Humans are strange", Admetus said as the two humans left.
"You telling me", a voice said and they turned to see two giant pollicles look at them. "Look Zeke eight little kittens out on their own."
"Yeah", the other pollicle, Zeke, answered. "Don't worry kitties we're not afraid that you're sick or strays."
"Oh" Tugger asked happily. "Good."
"Yeah", the first pollicle said. "We'll eat you anyway!"
"Run", Munkustrap yelled and the kittens dashed down the road and into an alley.
"We're trapped", Cassandra said frightened. "We're going to die!"
Munkustrap stepped forward and hissed at the two dogs. They only laughed.
"Look Zeke someone's trying to play hero!"
"I see it Dom. Poor little fella don't know what he's in for."
The kittens huddled together and then there was a hiss and Skimbleshanks and Gus jumped at one of the pollicles while Jenny and Jelly jumped the other.
"Mum", Demeter yelled happily.
"Get off ya filth", Dom growled and slammed the toms into the wall and then flung them off. Both Skimble and Gus landed on their four paws in front of the kittens.
"Lads", Skimble said as they were joined by Jenny and Jelly. "Get the lasses and hurry home."
"We can't just leave you here", Munkustrap said. "We can help."
"No offence Munk", Gus said. "But you're too young to do any good."
"Watch out", Jenny yelled as Zeke jumped at Gus. But a flash of ginger appeared from above and Zeke started to howl and whimper in pain. The Jellicles stared as a ginger tom, just a couple of years older than Admetus, who was the oldest kitten, clung to the pollicle's face with his claws. Dom started laughing.
"Get it off get it off", Zeke whimpered and trashed around.
"Yeah just hold still and I- Youch!" A flash of black and white had appeared from somewhere above and to the grownups horror they saw a kitten in Munkustrap and Tugger's age clung to the other pollicle in the same manner as the ginger tom. The kitten clawed and bit the pollicle with all his might and they saw the ginger tom look over at him and shook his head.
"You idiot", he called. "Quit holding back and let it all out!"
The kitten just rolled his eyes as his mouth was full with Dom's ear.
"Let go, let go", Zeke whimpered to the red tom.
"If I do", the tom answered. "Will you leave my alley?"
"Yes, yes I will... fast as lightning."
"How about you", the tom yelled at the other.
"Yes, yes dear lord just get this thing off of me!"
"Right... you heard him on three... One two three!"
The two strange cats let go and the dogs hurried away.
"Your alley", the kitten said and glared at the ginger tom. "What do you mean your alley?"
"Sorry", the ginger tom said. "But would you think they'd listen to a kitten?"
"I'm not a kitten", the black and white kitten huffed. "I stopped be one after I opened my eyes."
"Whatever makes you happy."
Skimbleshanks had gotten over his shock and walked up to them.
"Thank you for saving us lads", he said and held out his paw. The ginger tom took it. "I'm Skimbleshanks. This is Asparagus, Jennyanydots and Jellylorum and these kittens are Munkustrap, Rum Tum Tugger, Bombalurina, Demeter, Exotica, Cassandra, Admetus and Asparagus Jr."
"No problem Skimbleshanks", the ginger tom said and took his paw. "I'm Macavity."
"And I'm Alonzo", the kitten said.
"He's my little brother", Macavity said. "Emphasis on little."
"Hey I'm not that small."
"Sure you're not." Macavity ruffled the fur on the kitten's head.
"That was very brave of you", Gus said. "I've never seen anyone attack a pollicle like that."
"And certainly not a kitten", Jenny said and looked at Alonzo. "You could've gotten killed dear."
"Na uh", Alonzo said. "You should've seen us fight that badger or that fox or-"
"Okay", Macavity put a paw over his mouth. "I think they get it Lonz."
"Where are your parents", Jelly asked and watched the kitten struggle to get away from his brother's grip. "It's very irresponsible for them to let you run around like this and fight!"
"We've never met our father and our mother got rid of us when Alonzo here was old enough to open his eyes."
"Where do you live", Munkustrap asked.
"We live- Ouch!" Macavity yelped as his little brother bit him.
"Serves you right for choking me", the kitten snapped. "We live here and there."
"Oh dear you are so thin", Jenny said and went into mother-mood and started to check both of them out. "When was the last thing you ate anything?"
"Must have been nearly a week ago don't you think Mac", Alonzo asked and looked at his brother.
"Yeah that sound like it", Macavity said.
"A week, dear boys you better come with us to the junkyard", Gus said. "We got good food there, warm beds and no humans disturbing us."
"And no pollicles", Exotica yelled.
The two alley cats looked at each other.
"Sure", Macavity said. "Sounds good."
Later that evening Old Deuteronomy had talked to both of the alley cats and decided that they could both stay and become Jellicles. Munkustrap and the kittens were happy to get a new playmate. But Coricopat and Tantomile felt uneasy. There was something about these two that wasn't right... especially Macavity and Deuteronomy was looking at the new cats strangely.
"Do you wanna play tag with us Alonzo", Asparagus asked.
"What's tag", Alonzo asked.
"You've never played before", Munkustrap exclaimed and Alonzo shook his head.
"I've never played with anyone else than Macavity before."
"Everlasting cat you got much to learn", Tugger said.
"Not fighting that's for sure", Admetus said.
"It's easy Alonzo", Munkustrap said. "One of us is it and chases the others. When it touch you you become it and have to chase the others."
"There is only one rule", Tugger said as he looked at the new kitten's paws. "No claws allowed out."
"Do you think I'm stupid", Alonzo said and in a speed faster than the eye he slapped Munkustrap on the shoulder. "You're it!" The kittens scrambled away Munk was grinning like a mad cat. He knew he and Alonzo would get along easily.
