Hey everybody! Aren't you guys excited to see me? I mean, metaphorically of course. This is the prolouge to my contest entry. I sure do hope it's exciting enough to have people go past Chapter One...

Mr. Mistoffelees/Victoria

"I'll Save You From Macavity!"

It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood, the day our story starts. Every cat down in the Junkyard was busy, making preparations for the next Jellicle Ball. The Jellicles were excited beyond belief to learn which cat would be chosen to enter the Heaviside Layer this year, the kittens daring each other to ask Old Deuteronomy, "Who will it be? Who will it be?" Only Munkustrap seemed to be the only worried cat around.

"What if Macavity comes back? After failing last year, he's sure to try something else to sabotage the Ball!" He told his father anxiously.

He almost saw Deuteronomy roll his eyes. "Stop worrying, and get into the spirit of the Ball! Macavity won't be trying anything. We have the Magical Mr. Mistoffelees. Macavity will be too frightened to come after us."

Munkustrap shook his head slowly as he walked away. "Misto isn't strong enough to have Macavity be afraid of him. Father is wrong." However, there wasn't anything he could do. He could only go back to patrolling the Yard, and try to make sure that he would be ready to protect his Tribe when Macavity played his hand.
