This was the first year that the next generation were allowed to join in with the dancing and singing of the Jellicle ball. Every cat was practicing on the morning of the ball, awaiting the evening. Nobody had heard Elizabeth sing since she was younger and they were wondering if she could still sing as well. The soon to be queen wouldn't dance or sing for anyone. Not even her own parents, whom she hadn't seen in years due to moving away.
When all the stretching was done, they all went back to their humans homes for dinner, bursting with excitement about coming back later. Elizabeth pawed her food, barely able to keep her excitement hidden for her own song later. She squealed at the thought, which resulted in a passing member of the royal family to give her an odd look. The soon to be queen combed her fur and changed her collar from a baby pink one with her name on it, to a hot pink one with diamonds encrusting the centre. It brought out her eyes immensely and she looked as beautiful as ever. As night fell, all Jellicles slipped out of their homes to visit the junkyard... The Jellicle ball... was about to begin.
Demeter snuck into the middle of the junkyard, looking about for other cats but soon fled into a pipe as a car light flashed before her eyes. Many other cats entered the junkyard and soon Demeter re-entered with a suspicious look on her face. Suddenly, Munkustrap made his way the middle of the junkyard.

We can run up a wall, we can swing through the trees
We can balance on bars, we can walk on a wire

Mevitee gave them menacing looks as they finished the song. "If you had let me finish before, you would have realised I know what a Jellicle is!" She exclaimed. "And how exactly do you know?" Bomba asked, giving her a questioning look. "Because I was one!" She replied, still annoyed at them. Her outburst caused everyone to look over, gasp and start whispering among each other. "What do you mean, was?" Munk said. Mevitee sighed and tried to recall her past. "When I was younger, I lived in the junkyard with my mother and my older sisters. My mother died a long time ago and my sister went their separate ways. I had nowhere to go as one sister stayed with the Jellicles, whilst the other worked for Macavity. I was a runt, not strong enough to be with Macavity, not old enough to stay with the Jellicles. So, after I finally built up my strength living with alley cats, I went to Macavity, only to find my sister had long disappeared. And that's what led me here. Macavity was more evil than I thought he was, he wasn't the love of my life. He wasn't a nice tom. He was just an ex-villain who had lost all of his powers." She explained, letting out a breath of relief. "So why do you come to us now?" Demeter asked. "He asked where two of our partners were. And I accidentally let loose that they were coming to the ball this year. I'm dreadfully sorry!" Mevitee blurted out, not being able to hold it in anymore. "Never mind that if he has no powers. Who are the partners?" Tugger said, looking around at the other cats. Mevitee's eyes slowly drifted towards Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer but she soon guiltily looked away. "You guys still work for that fool?!" Alonzo cried at them, for some reason, surprised. Mungojerrie glared at Mevitee and cleared his throat. "Not really, just the few odd jobs, to keep our kittens alive." "All we did was take a few things from our owners and they never suspected a thing! It was just to get a couple scraps of meat. But we left him months ago!" Rumpleteazer explained. "That's the problem. Mac thought that you were still trying to steal and he didn't want you to come back empty handed. The rest of the cats and I thought you were scared." Mevitee said. "As if!" Rumpleteazer mumbled. "Well you can stay with us until Old Deuteronomy arrives." Mistoffelees told her. "Yes, she will decide what we shall do with you." Skimble said.
