"WOOO-HOOOOO!!!!!!! Man, that was awesome!" the Tugger yelled as the Jellicle warriors rested and attempted to catch their breath. "Guys, I'm not sure that it was a good thing that we almost became dog chow," Munkustrap commented. "Aw, come ON!! It got rid of those lousy Sharks!" continued the Rum Tum Tugger. "Besides, with our duties guarding the junkyard all day, we never have any fun- and what's more thrilling than outrunning a rabid Pit Bull? Look- Romelus agrees with me, right, Romelus?
"Yeah. Sure. Whatever." muttered Romelus. "I'm going to go home, now. Check you later." The toms watched Romelus pad back to his den in utter speechlessness. A few minutes later, they spotted him on the sun roof of an old car reading a moth-eaten copy of Romeo and Juliet. "Man, what is WITH that tom?" Pouncival agreed with Tugger on that comment. "Yeah. It's like he's been brainwashed by human soap operas! He keeps mentioning this beautiful queen he's gonna meet. Now, I don't know about you, but I ain't seen no queen. Mullet Tom's gone berserk! He hasn't even MET the queen yet, and he's already thinking about how many kittens they're gonna have!" "Besides," the Tugger added, "He's got to be crazy if he thinks there's a queen out there who's hotter than Bombalurina!"
Half an hour passed with the toms doing nothing but talking endlessly about Romelus and how weird he was acting. Finally, Mistoffelees changed the topic. "Seriously, guys, that was a pretty bad thing to happen to us on the day of the Jellicle Ball. Now we have to worry about an attack from the Sharks. Instead of dancing with the queens, we'll be questioning the possibility of a Shark attack!" Munkustrap lit up with an idea. "What about this? Let's say we have the Sharks meet us somewhere for a war council! We could plan when and where the final battle will be, when we end this once and for all! We could even have it in Jenny and Skimble's den!" Pouncival looked doubtful. "I don't know, Munkustrap. Jennyanydots doesn't like the fighting. She'd never let us have it in her den!" Munkustrap replied, "Oh, I'm gonna make nice to them, Pouncival. I'm only gonna challenge them. Besides, who can beat us? We're the Jellicles! The most powerful cats in the area!" He began to sing. "When you're a Jell, you're a Jell all the way. From your first catnip leaf to your rebirthing day!" Pouncival added, turning on a fan and spitting into it, getting cat saliva in everyone's fur (ew!), "When you're a Jell, if the spit hits the fan, you've got brothers around you're a family tom!" Mistoffelees and the Tugger joined in the song. "You're never alone. You're never disconnected. You're home with your own when company's expected. You're well protected! Then you are set with a capital 'J' which you don't forget till the tire lifts you away! When you're a Jell, you stay a Jell!" Munkustrap sauntered off, adding "Now don't worry about Romelus. I know him like I know me, and I can guarantee he'll be at the conference. So, I'll see you at the Jellicle Ball tonight. And walk tall!" Mistoffelees yelled "We always walk tall!" Pouncival shouted "We're Jellicles!" "The greatest!" screamed Tugger, who then sang "When you're a Jell, you're the top cat in town! You're the Gold-Medal Tom with the heavyweight crown!" Mistoffelees sang "When you're a Jell, you're the swingingest thing! Kitten boy, you're a tom! Little tom, you're a king!" Finally, they all grouped together for the biggest finish since the song "One" in A Chorus Line. "The Jells are in gear. Our sharpened claws are flick'in! The Sharks should stay clear, 'cause all Shark cats and kittens are LOUSY CHICKENS!! Here come the Jells like a bat out of Hell. Someone gets in our way, someone don't feel so well! Here come the Jells. Little World, step aside! Better go underground! Better run! Better hide! We're drawing the line, so keep your noses hidden! We're hanging a sign. Says 'VISITORS FORBIDDEN!!!' And we ain't kidding! Here come the Jells! Yeah! And we're gonna beat every last buggin tribe on the whole buggin street! ON THE WHOLE!!! EVER!!!!! MOTHER!!!!!! LOVIN!!!! STREEEEEETTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
