Mistoffelees lay lazily on his bed after a hard days work. Fluffing up his pillow with his paws he began to think about the day. Nothing to important to ponder on, but he had learnt how to levitate Pouncival, when he would stay still. It was an exciting accomplishment and he prided himself on it. Just coming out of kitten hood wasn't easy and having to learn how to use his powers properly wasn't helping. Lately, he had been sent on gatherings of different herbs and spices for medical supplies. I guess it was Munkustrap's way of training him for real "missions."

A knock came from outside his tunnel.

"Misto, are you asleep?" the familiar voice rang.

"Yes, I'm awake," he groaned wishing he hadn't answered.

Munkustrap push past the hanging cloth that covered the entranced and gracefully walked in. He seemed a bit stressed then usual and he was looking around like he didn't want anyone else hearing what he was about to say. He sat down beside Mistoffelees bed.

"Sorry to barge in on you like this, but we have some important matters to attend to," Munkustrap began, "Earlier this evening we found Electra outside the junk yard paralyzed. You are the only one besides Deuteronomy and me who knows. Now, don't be alarmed. She will be fine, but I need your help."

Mistoffelees sat up, "My help? Why?"

"We need to go to the caves around the cove. There is a very special herb there that can cure her. It would be almost impossible for an adult cat to slip through the opening to where it lies. You're the only one who is small enough to get through."

"That's not true. Many Jellicles are as thin as I am. Maybe not as small, but still ," Mistoffelees pointing out.

"Yes, but in order to get this herb we need your levitating skills and sense of smell. No Jellicle has that kind of sense. You're almost like a Pollcile dog with that nose," Munkustrap stated trying to persuade him.

"I, um, well that's very kind of you to say, but I can't do it. Being alone and all will," Mistoffelees was interrupted.

"You won't be alone," Munkustrap stated.

Mistoffelees perked up his ears.

"We're sending Mungojerrie with you. He has more experience with these kinds of things. With being a burglar and all, he can sneak you two in without any suspicion. He has a very keen sense of direction which will help you two from not getting lost," Munkustrap said.

At the sound of Mungojerrie's name he tuned out. He had never gotten along with Mungojerrie ever. Even when he was only 6 weeks old, Mungojerrie would bully him to no end. He would always attack him about anything he said or did. When he really thought about it, Mungojerrie was probably the reason why his magical skills weren't where they should be. He would always be watching him and intimidating him. Even after leaving the kitten area of the junkyard and going to live out on his own, Mungojerrie always seemed to come around.

"Misto..? Mistoffelees! Are you evening listening to me?" Munkustrap seemed rather annoyed, "This is no time to be day dreaming. We have something very dangerous happening."

"Oh sorry," Mistoffelees mumbled, "I'm not going with him."

"I wish I could give you the choice, but I can't. the Jellicle tribe needs you, and more importantly Electra needs you. Do you want her to stay like that forever? Frozen, with no way of communicating? Just lying there helpless? Not being able to end her own pain. We would have," Munkustrap began to lecture.

"Alright! Alright! I'll do it," Mistoffelees almost shouted, "but I swear to the heavy side layer that if that cat does something to push me over the deep end I'll be the only one coming back."

Munkustrap was quite shocked at this sudden out burst of violence. Mistoffelees was never one to yell or threaten anyone. He was always quite shy and aloof, but he did hear from Jellylorum and Jennyanydots a few times about the spats between Mungojerrie and Mistoffelees. Hoping, with everything in him, that it would work out.

"Good. Now, you need to meet at dawn at the entrance of the junkyard. Don't be late. Get a good rest," Munkustrap said.

With that he got up and left. Mistoffelees put his head back on his blanket and silently cursed at himself. How could this have happened? He swore to never make contact with that cat if he could help it. Now going on an important mission with him? This was going to be physco.

'How am I going to do this?" Mistoffelees thought to himself, "I can barely go one minute around him, and I have to go for..? How long did Munku say? Hm, well hopefully I'll feel more better about it in the morning.'
