I wanted to write a short "Cats" fic, without doing it very difficult. I was in psychology class and I felt really really bored. So here it is, a short one, onlye two chapters and maybe an epilogue. Hope you like it, please RR and feel free to correct me if I made mistakes.

Disclaimer: I don't own Cats. If I did, I will collect all the fics and I will make a TV serie with all of them, starring the Spanish cast. (Great idea, isnt't it??)

"Good Morning!!"

The sun had just appeared in the sky when a young tom shouted this, and then started jumping all over his den, trying to wake up his roommates.

"Get up! Everybody!"

Alonzo just put his pillow on his head and mumbled:

"Someone please make him stop..."

"Get up and do it by yourself" a brown and white tom said, "I want to sleep one or maybe two hours more"

"Ok Tumblebrutus, thanks for nothing" Alonzo said. "Pouncival! Please stop doing that NOW!" And he threw his pillow to the hyper tom.

"Why do I have to stop? The Jellicle Ball is tonight and I think none of us has a mate yet?"

"Pounce, listen" Tumblebrutus said, "It's really really early and the Ball is at midnight. Why don't you stay in bed till Munkustrap wakes us up as he does every morning?"

"Simply because we need to find a pair for tonight or we won't be allowed to perticipate, remember?"

"I bet the girls haven't got up yet, they like to stay in bed" Alonzo pointed.

"Right, so we'll go and surprise them! Alonzo, Tumblebrutus, come with me to their den... And you too... Plato! Get up!" Pouncival shouted.

Plato was still sleeping, curled up in a hair ball beneath some blankets. When he heard his name, he put up his head briefly and replied:

"I don't feel like going to find a mate for tonight. Please let me sleep some time more" And he laid his head on the blankets.

"All right, you'll have the worst one for being so lazy. C'mon, Lonzo, Brutus, let's go to the queen's den!".

Pouncival left their room and started walking towards the girl's.

"I'll go with Pounce but only because he will stop shouting if we go with him" Tumblebrutus said.

"Plato, you sure you don't want to come?" Alonzo asked the brown tom before leaving.

"You'd better go now, or you'll miss the good-looking ones" Plato advised him. "Good luck!"

Alonzo went after Tumblebrutus. Now Plato was alone. He didn't want to go asking a queen oue. He didn't like the Ball very much, in fact, last year he asked Jemima to go with him and he received a "Oh Plato, I'm so sorry... I've already have a pair" in return. So last year he just stayed in a corner, observing what the other cats did during the Ball.

Maybe he wasn't what queens liked, he used to think. "I know how to dance, I know how to behave properly, what's the problem with them? If they don't appreciate me, that means they don't deserve me."

He slept two more hours, until he couldn't stay calm in bed, and then he went for a walk. He wandered around the Junkyard, thinking of the wonderful night he was about to have. The young tom would have to stay apart, looking from a distant corner, as all his friends danced and enjoyed themselves.

Plato passed by Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer's house, and he decided to visit them.

"Hello?" He knocked at the door. "Anyone there?"

"Who is it?" Rumpleteazer's voice came from inside the house. "Oh, Plato!" She said as she opened the door. "Come in, we're preparing breakfast right now. Do you want to join us?"

"If you don't mind" Plato said, with a thankful look in his eyes.

"Please come in!" Mungojerrie was trying to open a tin of tuna fish, but he couldn't manage with the opener.

"Do you want me to try?" Plato offered.

"Please?" Mungo said, smiling broadly.

Plato grabbed the tin-opener and started rolling the top of the tin. He achieved his purpose, and the tin was at least opened.

"Oh Plato, you're brilliant! I'll make sure you're round when we try to open another tin. Thanks a lot!" Rumple said.

"No problem" Plato replied, smiling. "It's nice to know that I'm useful."

"Why do you say that?" Mungojerrie asked, with the tuna halfway to his mouth.

"Because I don't have a mate for tonight yet, I think I'll have to stay aside, like I did during last year's Ball. What about you two?"

"We're going together" Mungo said, pointing at Teazer.

"But don't worry" She added, "Tonight I'll save a dance for you in case you don't find a pair"

"How nice of you" Plato said, smiling. "Well, thanks for the breakfast guys, I think I shall continue with my walk."

"See you at the Ball tonight, friend" Mungojerrie said as Plato left the notorious pair's house.
