Hmm...I'm not too sure about how I feel about this chapter...I guess it was just thrown in to just...I dunno...be there. Sorry if it's a little dumb =/

Here Lies Zadie

Taken Before She Had the Chance to Live

Forever Loved

The Jellicles gathered around the small pond behind the junkyard to bury the lost kitten. Old Deuteronomy gave a speech about the Heaviside Layer and being reborn into a different life. Jerrie and Teazer stood in the front, silently weeping and clutching their living daughter, as if afraid of losing her, too. Tugger, Misto, and their own kittens stood next to them. A little while later, the cats left, but Jerrie and Teazer stayed behind a little while longer.

One week passed and slowly the tribe began returning to normal. Jerrie and Teazer still grieved, but seemed to be doing well. The kittens were beginning to talk and walk – or more teeter – around the dens, and learning their ways around the junkyard. Misto woke up one morning and found himself staring at a pair of emerald green eyes with a hazel outline staring back at him.

"Tovi?"

The queen smiled. "Hi Daddy!"

"Tugger! Wake up!"

"What?" Tugger mumbled.

"The kittens opened their eyes!"

Tugger shot up and looked at his youngest daughter. "They're beautiful. What does Daivat's eyes look like?"

They got up and Tovi followed them. Daivat was in the living room and playing with a toy mouse. He looked up and they saw he had brown eyes with golden speckles.

"Hi Daddies!" He greeted and ran into their arms.

"I wonder what Kaela's eyes look like?" Misto wondered out loud as Daivat buried his face in Misto's fur. They got Tovi and Daivat ready. And the four of them headed over to Jerrie and Teazer's den. Jerrie opened the door, grinning.

"'ello!" Jerrie greeted. He looked down and saw Tovi and Daivat. "Your eyes ore open! So ore Kaela's!" He stepped aside and let the family in. Teazer was sitting on the couch and grooming Kaela, who was yowling in protest. Teazer looked up and smiled.

"Mommy, Oi don't wonna be clean!" Kaela whined. She had the same accent as her parents. "Oi wonna go play outsoide!"

"You con go play outsoide later," Teazer said. "Roight now we 'ave compony." Kaela pouted and looked over. She spotted the two kittens hiding behind two toms.

"Who's thot?" Kaela asked.

"These ore our friends, Rum Tum Tuggah and Mistoffelees, or Tuggah ond Misto foh short. Tovi ond Daivat ore their kittons."

Tugger and Misto nudged Tovi and Daivat to go say 'hello'. The two kittens timidly stepped out from behind their parents and walked over to Kaela.

"Hi. I'm Tovi," Tovi said.

"I'm Daivat."

"'ello, Oi'm Kaela."

The parents sighed with relief as Kaela invited Tovi and Daivat to play in her room. A little while later they all went outside to get some fresh. Munk and Demeter joined them a little while later.

"Uncle Munk!" Daivat cried as he sprinted to his uncle. Munk caught him and lifted him into the air. Daivat giggled.

"How's my nephew doing?"

"Good! Come play with us!" So, Munk played with them for a little bit before joining Demeter, Misto, Tugger, Jerrie, and Teazer. The kittens played from dawn to dusk. Their energy began wearing out when Kaela gave a big yawn.

"Alroight, bedtoime." Jerrie picked up his sleepy daughter.

"No!" Kaela protested. "Oi wonna keep playing!"

"You con still play tomorrah."

"Alroight..." she whispered and fell asleep agaisnt Jerrie's chest.

The next morning, Tovi and Daivat were outside playing with a ball of yarn, waiting for Kaela. Tantomile and Coricopat came over to play with them a little while later. Wouldn't you know it? Cori likes kittens!

"Tovi, Daivat!" The two kittens turned to see Kaela running at them.

"Hi!" Tovi greeted when Kaela got closer. Kaela gave a shy smile at Daivat.

"Mommy is going out tonoight, ond Daddy soys Oi con 'ave a sleepovah!" Kaela grinned. "Do you wont to spend the noight?"

"I do!" Tovi cried and Daivat nodded in agreement. "Let me go ask Daddy!"

The three kittens ran to their den and popped in to see Misto and Tugger pulling away from each other hastily. Daivat gave them a curious look and Tugger gave him the 'don't ask me' look.

"Daddy, can we have a sleepover at Kaela's?" Tovi asked, batting her eyelashes.

"Sure!" Misto said. "Be back tomorrow for lunch!" The kittens quickly scampered off.

Tugger chuckled. "Hm."

"What?"

"Well, we'll be having the den to ourselves for the night, and I certainly haven't been able to use my full 'Tugger Charm' around you since they were born..." Tugger gave a sly smile and Misto caught on. Misto, being the feminine tom, giggled as Tugger swept him off his feet and carried him to the bed.

"...and then as she walked around the corner...BAM! Macavity was right in front of her!" Daivat was saying as he finished up his scary story. Just then, Macavity jumped out from behind a junk pile, laughing menacingly. Tovi and Kaela shrieked.

"Macavity!" Kaela screamed. The queens darted away to hide, but noticed that Daivat hadn't moved from his spot. He was rolling around on the ground and laughing. He and Macavity high-fived each other.

"Vat! Get away from him!" Tovi yelled from her spot.

Macavity laughed. "You should see your faces!" Tovi and Kaela tilted their heads. That wasn't Macavity's voice. That sounded like…

"Pouncival!" Tovi yelled. They hesitantly walked closer to see that it wasn't the real Macavity. Pouncival had dressed up for the story. Well, the two kittens certainly felt dumb.

They were telling scary stories around a small fire that Misto had conjured up for them. Some of the older cats glanced at them worriedly but saw that they weren't harmed. Jennyanydots, Pouncival's mother, had a fit when Misto made the fire, but eventually gave in. She checked on the kittens from time to time.

"Kae, you should see your face!" Daivat cried happily, proud his story and Pouncival's costume had scared them.

"I have every reason to be scared!" Tovi retorted. "Macavity is scary! How come the older cats weren't scared?"

"They knew what Vat and I had planned," Pouncival grinned. Tovi and Kaela tackled them to the ground. They decided that was enough scary stories for the night.

Sorry for the short chapter. This was just put here for no reason. Kinda just a short chapter about the kittens. Yes, I used the story about Macavity that I used in my other story, "Forever Yours". I thought it would work well with this story.
