The phone in the kitchen of The Jellicle Mansion that The Rum Tum Tugger(18),Old Dueteronomy(69),Munkustrap(18),and Alonzo(18) Shared.
"Hello?"Munkustrap answered the phone
"Umm...Hi.This is...ummm...Billy...Calling for Munkustrap.."The voice said giggling in the background
"This is he.And ummm...billy.I know this is you kittens making your prank calls before Halloween like you do every year."Munkustrap said houlding back so laughter
"Ahh!!Man he caught us!!"15 yearold mistoffoles yelled.They hung up.
There were only 2 more days until Halloween and Munkustrap had to get ready.Since Tugger was not polite and Old D. was to old and Alonzo just stayed with them because he was Munkustrap's best friend since kit hood they couldn't do what he was doing.Every year at 12:00 midnight on halloween's eve he had to dress up as a Scare Crow.On halloween night everyone in the Jellicle Tribe gathered around the old wishing well and sang as Munkustrap was set on fire and jumps into the wishing well and comes out amazingly alive!
"Hey,Looking forward to being burned alive?"Tugger asked jokingly as he walked by.
"You know how much I hate fire so no."Munkustrap answered
"Hey,"Alono inturupted"Did you hear bout what Dr.Macavity is doing?"
Munkustrap sighed he hated hearing about his older brother who was evil"No."
"I have!!"Tugger smiled"What's he doing?"
"He found Demeter and is running all these tests on her.Man I'd hate to be her."
Munkustrap had always had a crush on Demeter"Hey!Don't worry she'll find a way out."
"Hey I'm not worrying!"Alonzosaid and turnt off the Tv and jumped off the white couch.
"Me either"Tugger said and looked at a picture of Munkustrap and his's mother,Grizabella."We all no you are though!"
"Hey I need to keep track of the Jellicles!Besides next time he is picking Bombalurina."Munkustrap crossed his arms
"What?!"Tugger yelled and paused then ran up the white marble steps to the upstairs.Alonzo left after that

Demeter slept on a dirty old couch in Dr.Macavity's lab.It was now halloween and she was pretending to sleep.
"Demeter!!!!!!!!!"The dr. yelled threw the house"Make me some soup!"
"Yes sir!"she yelled back"I hate it here."she mumbled
Demeter began to make the soup in the darkness of the basement.It's so creepy down here she thought.She put some put some poision in the soup.She smelled it and anyone could tell that she had done something to it."Frog's breath wil overpower any odor.Bitter."She opened the container and a giant frog came out and breathed on the soup.Demeter began coughing and she coudnt stop."Worm's wart.Where's that worm's wart?"She said to herself and raided the cabnets and poured in the worm's wart.
"Demeter!!Where's my dinner?"The dr. yelled down to her from his lab.
"Coming!!!"Demeter yelled"Dinner!"she said as she entered his lab.He put down all of his things and smelled the soup.
"Ahhh!what's that worm's wart?..."He paused"And frog's breath?"
"Whats wroung?I thought you liked Frog's breath?"Demeter said
"Nothings more suspicious than frog's breath.Until you take a spoonful I wont eat a spoonful!"
"Oh don't be silly!"Demeter said and knocked down the spoon"Woops!"
"You want me to starve!"
Demeter pushed the spoon out of the way and grabbed a spoon with holes in it out of her sock.She stuck the spoon in the soup and all the soup poured back in and she pretended to take a sip."See?"She said and Macavity drank it all down.He feel straight to sleep.
demeter snuck out it was now time for the halloween gathering.
