Chapter 2: Profiles and Some Unexpected Guests
The junkyard was full of horrified humans, all of whom used to be cats. "What's going on?" was a common question and "What the heck happened?" was another.
"Silence!" Munkustrap yelled and held up his paw, uh, hand.
"Who are you?" yelled a lean, dark blonde teen around the same age as Munkustrap.
"It's me, Munkustrap." The crowd gasped at how different he looked.
"Munkustrap!" yelled a plump woman with light brown hair, "I found this in my den!"
Munkustrap, recognizing her voice, said, "Thanks Jenny," and took a stack of tan folders from her paws, uh, hands. Stamped across the front of the folders was the word "PROFILE." He opened the first folder. At the top of the sheet of paper was a picture of him as a human and next to it, a picture of him as a cat. Below the pictures it said:
NAME: Munkustrap
GRADE: 10 (Sophomore)
AGE: 16
SCHOOL: Stage and Screen Prep.
It went on to describe the school and where it was located. Munkustrap stared at it, puzzled, then he spotted a notation at the bottom:
You will have four weeks to discover why you have been transformed, or you will be human FOREVER.
Munkustrap just stared at the little sentence that had such a big impact.
"What is it Munku?" Demeter asked him. Munkustrap read the small sentence aloud into the silence. Everyone burst out with their own exclamations, "What!" "Four Weeks!"
"QUIET!" Munkustrap ordered. Silence fell almost immediately. "Okay," Munkustrap said, "First things first, we have to figure out who everyone is." He proceeded to call names. "Demi," he said. Demeter came up to him and took her profile folder. "Tugger," the lean, dark blonde teen that had spoken before came up. "Jenny, Bomb," a young teen with long, fiery red hair, "Misto," a small young man with jet black hair, "Alonzo," a boy the same age as Munkustrap with dark hair. It continued until everyone in the junkyard had their profiles. "Now," Munkustrap started, but Demeter cut him off,
"Munku," she said, "Whose profiles are those?" she pointed to two folders at his feet. Munkustrap picked the folders up and looked at the pictures. In one folder was a picture of a girl with long light blonde hair and pale skin, next to it there was a picture of a fluffy white Persian cat. Munkustrap looked at the name:
Griddlebone
Munkustrap froze; he had a bad feeling about whose picture was in the next folder. He took a deep breath and opened the tan folder. Inside there was a picture of a boy with untamed ginger hair. Next to it were the words:
CAT PHOTO UNAVAILABLE
Below that the name read:
Macavity
"So what's it say?" yelled a very pretty young dark blonde, brown eyed girl, who just happened to be Jemima. Munkustrap looked horror stricken.
Demeter looked at him, concern in her eyes, "What do the two folders say, Munku?"
Munkustrap looked at her and said, "The folders belong to—" but he was cut off by two people entering the junkyard. One was a girl with long pale blonde, almost white, hair and the other was a boy with unkempt ginger hair.
"MISTOFFOLEES!" the boy yelled, not even looking at his surroundings.
Munkustrap grabbed Misto, who was close by him, and Demeter, just in case she was another one of Macavity's targets and pushed them behind himself. Then he yelled, "Alonzo, Tugger! Restrain them!"
Tugger and Alonzo did as they were told, although they did have a few problems. The girl bit Tugger, and the boy nearly gave Alonzo a good punch in the face. Eventually Tugger had the girl restrained and Alonzo, the boy. The ginger haired boy was still grumbling things like, "Stupid tuxedo magician!" and "I can't believe he did this to the two of us!" Everyone had burst into talking about who these two were.
Munkustrap silenced them with a hand, "Everyone," he said, "These are the two cats, um, people the folders belong to," he held up the folders, "Griddlebone, Macavity."
Everyone gasped. Munkustrap reluctantly handed the two their profiles, as they had calmed down and been released by Tugger and Alonzo.
"What is this?" Macavity said meanly as Munkustrap handed him his folder.
"Read it and maybe you'll find out," Munkustrap replied, just as harshly. The two glared at each other, then Macavity slowly opened his folder and began reading.
"What does it mean by 'Discover why you have been transformed'?" Griddlebone asked. She had been reading while Munkustrap and Macavity were having the staring contest.
"If we knew, do you think we would still be human?" Munkustrap snapped at her.
"You ought to ask that magic cat of yours," Macavity said angrily, "He's the only one who could have caused this!" "As I remember it, Macavity," Misto said angrily, jumping out from behind Munkustrap, "You too are a magic cat! How do we know you didn't cause this!"
"Do you honestly think that I would turn myself into a ruddy human!" Macavity yelled, insulted.
"Well, do you think I would!" Misto shot back.
"Cut it out!" Munkustrap ordered them. They were so shocked by this sudden outburst that they immediately stopped fighting and became silent. "Now," Munkustrap continued, "I want Tugger, Demeter, Alonzo, Misto, and," he looked reluctant to say the last name and spat it with disgust, "Macavity, to please come with me for a meeting. The rest of you stay here and try to be quiet." Demeter, Alonzo, Misto, Tugger, and, after a moment of hesitation, Macavity followed Munkustrap into the TSE1.
