Chapter 1: The Disappearances
"So, Vicki, do you want to hang out with Etcy, Electra, and me tonight?" Jemima asked her best friend, Victoria. "I don't know, Jemmi. Didn't Munkustrap tell all the Jellicles not to go "gallivanting off" in the middle of the night for a while?" Yeah, but what does he know?" "I don't know, Jemmi," Victoria said, worriedly. Jemima looked at her friend, making her beautiful, brown eyes as big as possible, and said, pouting, "It won't be as much fun without you." Vicki stared at her friends big, sad eyes and said, "Okay, I'll come." "Yay!" Jemmi said, happily. "But," Vicki said, "Let's see if we can get Demeter to come with us." Jemmi looked at Vicki questioningly. "It will be nice to have an adult with us." "Fine," Jemmi agreed, truth be told she was happy Demeter might be coming with them.

That night the five of them, Jemima, Victoria, Etcetera, Electra, and Demeter, snuck out of the junkyard. They walked down the alleyway until Etcy tagged Jemmi, yelled "You're IT!" and began a game of tag. The other three kittens and even Demeter ran from Jemmi. Eventually their little game of tag became "hide-and-go-tag." When Jemmi got tired she sat down and yelled, "Olly-olly-cats-come-free!" Slowly the cats came out of their hiding places. Vicki came out of a box, Etcy came from behind a trashcan, Electra came out from behind a stack of tires, and… "Where's Demeter?" Jemmi asked. "She probably got tired and went back to the junkyard," Electra said. "Probably," Jemmi said, unable to shake the feeling that something was wrong, "Do you girls want to play follow the leader?" she asked. There was a choir of yeses, "I'm the leader!" Jemmi said, and she started off followed by Etcy, Electra, and, finally, Victoria. Jemmi liked follow the leader. She would run her friends through boxes over trashcans, and everywhere else possible. She stopped and waited for her friends to catch up after a more difficult maneuver that involved jumping from a box to a trashcan and then over a stack of tires. After Etcy and Electra made it over they waited a few minutes before Jemmi asked, "Where's Vicki?" "She was right behind me before I jumped," Electra said. Now Jemmi knew that there was something wrong. "Let's go to the junkyard and see if Vicki and Demeter are there," she said, and the three ran off.

When they arrived back at the junkyard they searched everywhere, but they saw no sign of Demeter or Vicki. Finally, Jemmi said, "You two stay here, I'm going to go wake up Munkustrap and Mistoffelees," and she ran off.

"Munkustrap wake up!" Munkustrap swatted Jemmi away in his sleep, "Munkustrap! Demeter's missing!" In a flash Munkustrap was on his feet, what happened!" he asked. "I'll tell you after we get Mistoffelees," she said. Munkustrap looked at her questioningly, "You'll see," Jemmi said and she ran off with Munkustrap on her heels.

"Misto! Vicki's missing!" Jemmi said, shaking Misto. Misto woke up and was on his feet in an instant, "Victoria's missing!" he asked. "Yes, and so is Demeter!" then Jemmi told Munkustrap and Misto everything that had happened.
