(This is set a year after the previous chapter)
(The toms are playing football whilst the queens sit at the side keeping score)
Elizabeth: Hey everyone! (She walks into the junkyard where they are playing)
Tom: Elizabeth! You came!
Elizabeth: Of course, I wouldn't miss this for the world.
Jingo: So, what have you been up to in the last year?
Elizabeth: Nothing really, got bored loads of times, but my parents are thinking of moving near the junkyard, so that's good.
Aggie: Won't your owners notice?
Elizabeth: They never seem to when we've gone away before, so I'm guessing not...
Miyela: As if anyone would notice her anyway.
Dan: Miyela! You can't just say that about cats, they could get seriously offended.
Seraphina: But she didn't seem to so...
Jell: It's still rude.
Seraphina: (in a mocking manner) It's still rude! (she laughs hard with Miyela, high fives her then they walk off together)
Harmonia: Guys, my parents talked to Old Deuteronomy and she said it was ok if Astraea joins us for the ball next year!
Calypso: That's amazing!
Cassius: Now she can join in all the fun with us!
Astraea: I can't wait for next year! It's going to be so fun!
Per: It definitely will be with you around. (she cuddles Astraea)
Em: Ok, so shall we carry on with our game?
Harmonia: Sure!
(Timeskip)
Victoria: So, all the kittens seem to be getting on with each other, don't they?
Cass: They do, although Miyela is being a bit moody lately.
Alonzo: I think she just needs to settle in more.
Tanto: Yes, Calypso and Cassius had to when they first met everyone.
Jelly: What do you think they're doing now?
Jerrie: Last time I checked on the kits, they were playing with a ball.
Tugger: The toms were, but the queens were keeping score.
Deme: The queens never liked to get their paws dirty did they.
Jemima: I think it's so sweet that they were all wondering if Astraea could join in with the ball next year.
Socrates: Yes, although some weren't so keen on the idea.
Teazer: I guess it's because she's so young.
Plato: Probably.
Misto: Do you think they'll actually pay attention when learning the dances and songs?
Bomba: I doubt they will. (They all laugh)
(Timeskip to after the ball)
Tom: Has anyone seen Elizabeth?
Miyela: And why would you care?
Jell: Because she's our friend!
Per: I think she went over to the car...
(Tomtuggery runs over to the car and finds Elizabeth crying)
Tom: Elizabeth? What's wrong?
Elizabeth: (She looks up and wipes away her tears) Oh, nothing...
Jingo: Something has to be wrong.
Em: You don't have to hide anything from us.
Elizabeth: (She bursts out crying again) My owners are moving away to their other home this weekend...
Tom: But they're leaving you behind?
Elizabeth: No... They're taking me away with them!
Jingo: We can visit you can't we?
Elizabeth: No, it's too far away...
Em: When will you be back?
Elizabeth: That's the problem... Never!
Tom: That's not fair!
Jingo: Well before you go, why don't we go and tell the others?
Elizabeth: Alright then...
(Timeskip) (All the kittens are sat in a circle and all look sad as Elizabeth delivers the news)
Elizabeth: And that's why I've been quite upset...
Per: Wait, so you're really leaving?
(Elizabeth nods)
Astraea: No! Don't leave me! (She hugs Elizabeth tight and Elizabeth picks her up)
Elizabeth: Don't worry, you'll forget about me pretty soon.
Aggie: Of course we won't! You're our friend!
Tom: We'll be missing you everyday.
Seraphina: Not everybody will...
Em: Stop, even you will miss her!
Calypso: (Walking towards the group with Cassius) Elizabeth, your parents are looking for you...
Cassius: They sent us to get you...
Elizabeth: Well... I guess this is goodbye...
Jell: Oh no!
(They all join together for a group hug)
Elizabeth: I have to go...
Tom: We'll never forget you!
Elizabeth: Goodbye...
