(This chapter is set a few years after the previous one)

"Welcome Jellicles old and new!" Old Deuteronomy said, nodding towards the new faces. "I understand that this year we need to be introduced to the new kittens!" They stepped forward one by one as the Jellicle leader introduced them. "First are the kittens of Tugger and Bombalurina; Tomtuggery and Seraphina. Second are Alonzo and Cassandra's; Miyela and Danstarus. Third are Munkustrap and Demeter's; Persephone and Emerdon. Next are Plato and Tantomiles, Calypso and Cassius. Then we have Mungojerrie and Jellylorum's kitten; Aggiesparker. Admetus and Jemima's; Harmonia and Astraea. Socrates and Rumpleteazer's; Jingobobby and Jellalina. And last but not least, Mistoffelees and Victoria's kitten; Elizabeth." She announced. "They definitely know about the ball, don't they?" Tantomile asked. "Of course they do!" Demeter said. Rumours spread through whispers in the crowd until they finally saw the young cat family running towards them. "Sorry we're late! We got caught up at our owners" Victoria said. Since Elizabeth had been born, the owners didn't want to let her out of their sights, so the cat family had to slip away when they finally werent looking. She came out from behind her mother and smiled shyly at everyone. She had bright azure eyes and snow-white fur. She was extremely beautiful. "Hi there... I'm Tomtuggery! You must be Elizabeth." The young tom said, and she nodded. "You have to come meet the others!" He told her and pulled her over to the other kittens. Miyela looked at her suspiciously. "You got caught up at your owners That's why you're late?" She asked, rolling her eyes. "Yes?" Elizabeth replied, wondering why she sounded so sarcastic. "Leave her alone Miyela. Youre just jealous. Danstarus said, nudging his sister in a playful manner. And why in Heaviside would I be jealous Danstarus? She asked sarcastically. Well you might be jealous of her looks! She is very beautiful after all. He replied. This caused Elizabeth to blush. Miyela huffed and stormed off, Seraphina following closely behind, glaring at them all. So whats your forte? Jellalina asked the white kitten, watching her closely. Im more of a dancer, but I do love to sing Elizabeth told them. Why dont you sing for us now then? Tomtuggery eagerly said, wanting to see if her voice was a beautiful as she was. Im not that good She started, but seeing all the other kittens, wide eyed with curiosity, it made her want to. Alright then.

Elizabeth: Moonlight, turn your face to the moonlight, let your memory lead you, open up enter in.

Her angel like voice made every cat turn and stare, it was like nothing they had heard before.

Elizabeth: If you find there, the meaning of what happiness is, then a new life will begin.

All the cats clapped and cheered as she finished and came over to compliment her. I knew you were going to be good. Jellalina whispered to her, making her smile.

Is everyone coming to the ball next year? Aggiesparker asked, as the new friends sat in a circle on various objects in the junkyard. They all nodded. I think so. Jingobobby said. Definitely! Emerdon replied. Tomtuggery turned to Elizabeth, who was sat next to him, much to the other toms displeasure. What about you Elizabeth? Are you going to come? He asked. Of course! I wouldnt miss anything like this for the world! And Ill get to see all of you again! She said, obviously very excited. Dont be so sure that well want to see you though Miyela murmured. You do know that she can hear you, right? Danstarus said, giving his sister a disapproving look. I still can't believe that we have to wait until we come of age to sing! It's so unfair... Calypso complained, trying to change the subject. But remember, we are the oldest of the kittens sister, so we don't have that long... Her brother Cassius comforted her. Its still years away though. Harmonia pointed out. And what about Astraea? She's going to have to wait even longer than us! Elizabeth explained. Shes a baby, she wont notice any difference. Seraphina harshly said. I'm guessing she will if we're all singing and dancing and she's sat on the side by herself. Tomtuggery said, glaring at his sister. I guess they could make an exception for her, since her older sister will be dancing. Emerdon indicated to Harmonia as he said this. They probably could, you know how much Old Deuteronomy loves Astraea. Persephone giggled, squeezing the kitten in discussion close to her. Hold on! Why are we even talking about this? It's years away, remember? We can sing and dance by ourselves until it's time! Aggiesparker cried. I'm not allowed to go off though, I have to watch the whole ball if I want to be Jellicle leader someday. Emerdon explained. Youre not that old yet though! Why do you have to watch all of them? Jingobobby asked, cocking his head to the right. I dont, my dad just told me I had to Emerdon said, putting his head down. Well that sounds pretty boring to me. Aggiesparker said, fiddling with her claws and accidentally scratching her cousin in the process. It won't be that bad, he might get a head start on the singing and dancing! Jellalina excitedly said, trying to ignore the calico cousins arguing and playfighting over who scratched who. Yeah but every Jellicle knows it anyway, its not going to make any difference. Miyela said. Danstarus rolled his eyes and ignored his sister. Come on guys, why dont we play of game of tag before we go? He said. That sounds great! Where shall we play? Elizabeth jumped to her paws. How about the milk bar? Cassius whispered. But were not allowed in there yet! Calypso cried, earning herself a paw over the mouth, provided by her brother. He shushed her. So? Jingobobby asked, he wasnt one for following rules, especially ones written by their parents. I dont know where that is though Elizabeth said quietly, looking away embarrassed. All the toms volunteered in a flash but Tomtuggery got to her first. He stuck his tongue out at them and lead her away.
