Heyyyyy guyyyys!
Okay this is my first Cats fanfiction. I just love the musical. I totally ship Jemima and Misto/Quaxo (sorry if you don't agree!) and thought of this listning to The Moments of Happiness (Jemima's part of course!) Anyway, I know its short but hope you like it! More chapters to come btw!
P.S I own nothing but the plot!
Chapter 1
The moon. Shining like a friend on the dark stormy nights in The Junkyard. That's the way Jemima saw it anyway. She sighed and sat up on the roof of her den.
Moonlight
Turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you
Open up, enter in
If you find there the meaning of what happiness is
Then a new life
Will begin
"Come in now Jem! Busy day tomorrow!" Her dad, Skimbleshanks shouted from inside.
"Coming," she replied. She stood up jumped down from the roof. Tomorrow was the practice for the Jellicle Ball. She would get her part then. Jemima didn't expect a big part. Not like Victoria or Tugger. They were a shoe in for a solo. At least she could take part this year. Jemima let her dreams of singing and dancing with her friends engulf her and soon she was in a deep sleep...
"Morning Jem!" A voice woke Jemima up. She opened her eyes and started as the figure of a black and white tomcat loomed over her.
"Misto! You scared me to death!" she moaned pushing him away as she sat up.
He just smirked and stood up.
"Come on. Aren't you excited!" he asked.
Excited seeing you.
"I guess. But I'll just be a chorus cat. Nothing that good." Jemima shrugged.
"Never know. Old D might let you sing your song." Mistoffelees raised an eyebrow.
He looks so cute!
"Don't put ideas in my head Misto. Come on, I think he'll be here soon."
They walked out together into the beautiful sunlight.
"He's not here. Sing for me Jemi. Your voice always makes me smile." Misto said making Jemima blush.
"O-Okay."
Daylight
See the dew on the sunflower
And the rose that is fading
Roses wither away
Like the sunflower
I yearn to turn my face to the dawn
I am waiting
For the day
"You're amazing," Mistoffelees breathed. He jerked his head up and sniffed the air, "Old Deuteronomy," he whispered.
"He's here!" Jemima smiled. Misto nodded smiling as The Jellicle Leader was lead to his seat and the cats crowded around.
"Settle down now. I know you're all excited but we must be getting on. Now, the first performance as usual shall involve everyone. Then, Victoria and Quaxo," Misto rolled his eyes at his ordinary name, clearly amused, "Shall open the ball." Victoria smiled and Jemima nodded knowingly.
"Then, Jennyanydots shall have her song," he said smiling at the Old Gumbie Cat.
"After that, Tugger will have his solo and if all goes according to plan, Bustopher Jones will make it here in time for his song. After that, Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer will duet. Then I will come and witness the Awful Battle of The Pekes and the Pollicles. Then the kittens shall perform the Jellicle song and choose their mates," a few kittens (Etcetera and Electra) giggled hysterically, pointing at Alonzo and Plato.
"Then, after a short break, I have chosen Jemima to sing with me in The Moments of Happiness," Old D said smiling at Jemi, who was staring at him in disbelief.
"Then, my beloved friends Gus and Skimbleshanks will have their solos and of course our conjuring cat, before I shall choose who will Journey to the Heaviside Layer. I hope you are all happy with my decisions. Practice hard and I shall see you all later." The Jellicle Leader left after that and the cats erupted in discussion.
"Told you Jemi!" Mistoffelees smiled at the glowing kitten.
"I just can't believe it! Wait, did you tell him to give me a solo? Misto I"
"Shhhh!" Misto said covering her face with his paw. Jemima's white face turned the scarlet of her coat, "I promise I didn't. You're just so talented." He said letting his paw drop back to his side.
"T-Thanks, Misto!" Jemima said looking at the ground.
"Jemi, I was wondering if"
"Sup guys! Excited about your solos? Man you guys are lucky," Tumblebrutus butted in, wrapping an arm around each of the blushing kittens.
"Yea-yeah, sure. Bit surprised actually," Jemima said.
"Don't worry Jem, you've got a beautiful voice," Vitoria said, walking over to her best friend.
"Thanks Vic."
"Well I'm off," Misto said walking away to his pipe.
"Bye!" Jemima shouted and he waved back. She sighed and Victoria smiled happily. Her brother finally did something right!
Soooo what do you think...?

Luv you all guys!
