Disclaimer: Don't own Cats.

Summary: When Macavity doesn't get any of the parts he wants in the Jellicle play, he sets off to make his own way in life. Unfortunately for him, the other jellicles are starting to view him as evil. Macavity's only misunderstood!


"Alright." Munkustrap barked out as he stood in the middle of the junkyard with a clipboard. "I have all the parts narrowed down, and I picked out the cats who would fit the roles best." Munkustrap looked proud of himself as he pulled a pencil out from behind the clip on the board. The rest of the jellicles looked on expectantly, excited to finally begin their rehearsals.

"I thought I'd start off with Boq." Munkustrap said. "Boq's a shy one. He loves Galinda, but Nessarose loves him." Munkustrap looked down at the clipboard and frowned momentarily, thinking. "I thought that Pouncival would be the perfect role." Munkustrap pointed a claw at the now excited cat.

"Yes!" Pouncival hissed, pumping his fist. His friends, Tumblebrutus, Admetus and Plato gave him high fives one at a time.

"Okay, now that's been settled, now for the role of Nessa." Munkustrap said. "I couldn't think of really anyone who'd fit this role, but I have it narrowed down to either Jemima, Etcetera or Electra." Munkustrap frowned. "You queens want to draw straws?" The three kits raised their hands and started squealing their needs to be Nessa. Pouncival raised his hand. "Pouncival, you can't be her. You're already Boq." Munkustrap said sternly. Pouncival shook his head.

"No, I want Etcetera to be Nessa." He said proudly. The three kits went silent, before Etcetera jumped to her feet and began swinging her hips and pumping her arms in a circle.

"Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm Nessa, It's my birthday!" She sang. Munkustrap barked at her to sit down.

"Fine. Etcetera will be Nessa." Munkustrap said. "Now, moving on." He glanced down at his clipboard again. "Fiyero." This time it was Macavity's turn to jump up, his arm waving wildly in the air.

"Can I? Please?" He asked. No, he was begging. His arm wilted when Munkustrap shook his head.

"No, I believe I fit the role of Fiyero." Munkustrap explained. Not that he was arrogant, of course, but he was the best looking tom...other than Alonzo of course. "Unless Alonzo wants the part."

Alonzo, who had been busy flirting with a few of the older queens, mainly Cassandra and Exotica, looked up. "What? Did you say something?" He sounded dazed. It was obvious he hadn't been paying attention at all to the assigning of roles. Munkustrap rolled his eyes.

"That settles it." He said, glancing down at the clipboard again. "I'm Fiyero. Alonzo can be a flying monkey for all I care." Munkustrap muttered, mainly to himself. "Anyway. Doctor Dillamond." Munkustrap began writing notes at this point, probably to make changes in the cast. "I think Skimbleshanks would be perfect for this role." A glance at Skimbleshanks revealed him looking highly pleased with himself. Satisfied, Munkustrap moved onto the next role. "Madame Morrible." He gazed out at the crowd. "Jennyanydots. She fits the role just perfectly." He said proudly.

"Thank you my dear!" She called out happily. Her and Skimbleshanks turned to each other and began whispering about how they were going to make their new roles come alive. Munkustrap smiled, waved a paw in her direction and continued.

"The Wizard, I think should be-"

"Me!" Macavity waved his arm again. Munkustrap gave him a scowl. Macavity sat down and pouted. This wasn't going the way he wanted it to.

"Old Deuteronomy." Munkustrap continued after a pause. "The wizard is a leader of sorts, and well, Old Deuteronomy is our leader. So, it fits. Anyway, the main roles. I saved the best for last." Everyone was paying attention now. Who would get to play the roles of Elphaba and Galinda?

"For Elphaba, I have it narrowed down to Grizabella or Quaxo. She's a witch, and has magical powers. But she's also an outcast, so..." Munkustrap trailed off, pondering this decision.

"No way am I playing a girl." Quaxo hissed. He sat back and folded his arms. Tugger snickered at him and swatted at him playfully.

"You're playing a girl!" Tugger sang.

"Hush. Am not." Quaxo turned his nose up, away from Tugger. "I refuse to play a girl."

"But Quaxo, you have magical powers, which Elphaba has. It would fit amazing." Munkustrap said.

"I'd rather be a flying monkey." Quaxo argued. "I will not be in the play if I have to be a girl. I am not a girl, I am a tom!"

"You sound more like a rebellious human child." Munkustrap muttered under his breath. "Fine." He was speaking to the group again. "Grizabella will play Elphaba." He wrote down notes on his clipboard. "For Galinda, I have it narrowed down to-"

"Pick me!" Macavity begged.

Munkustrap's voice was raising. "Tugger or Victoria. Galinda is vain, but beautiful girl. Either is an obvious choice."

"Make Tugger Galinda!" All four kits squealed.

"Please make me Galinda!" Macavity begged.

"I think I shall give the role to Victoria." Munkustrap said, writing more notes on his clipboard. "Galinda is female, after all."

"You offered the role to Tugger." Macavity snapped.

"That's because Tugger's vain and well, stupid." A quick glance at Tugger revealed him to be shaking his hips again, all the kittens were rubbing up against him. It was very typical of him.

"You also offered the role of Elphaba to Quaxo, and he's not a queen either!" Macavity argued.

"Quaxo's magic. Elphaba's magic. But Grizabella has the role. Now stop arguing."

"I never wanted to be in this stupid play anyway."

"You can still be The Cowardly lion or something. Maybe a flying monkey." Macavity jumped to his feet.

"Forget you all!" He snapped. "I could have been Elphaba too, I have magic powers, but you overlooked that, just because I'm not a girl!"

"You can float in the air and hypnotize people. Those don't constitute magic powers." Munkustrap said. "I said no more arguing. We're going to put on this play with our proper assigned roles, and we're all going to enjoy it."

"You know what, forget it." Macavity snapped. "I'll go start my own play, and none of you are invited!" Macavity jumped up into the air and floated for a second. Everyone below him looked bored.

"Grow up." Grizabella said, rolling her eyes. Macavity only yowled in response. He bounded out of the junkyard

"You'll see me again, I promise!" Macavity cackled. When he was out of site he coughed. That had really hurt his throat. Suddenly he was filled with an enormous sadness. He'd thrown a big hissy fit over a stupid play, and after his big dramatic exit, it would be silly to go back to apologize.

Back in the junkyard, the cats were staring at each other, utterly confused as to why their friend had left like that.

Clearing her throat, Bombalurina raised a hand.

"What?" Munkstrap sighed.

"I think Macavity would have made a good Elphaba after all."


Author's note: I'm not sure how long I want to make this one. But I thought it would be funny to combine Wicked and Cats.

Please read and review. Any would be much appreciated!
