Macavity paced the small room where Celeste had normally been trapped in all day. He examined the broken window and the blood that stained some of the shards.

"Mungojerrie." Macavity said knowing that the calico had helped the kit escape. Griddlebone padded up next to Macavity and asked,

"What do you suppose we do about the traitor and the escapee?" Macavity was silent for a moment.

"Nothing." Macavity stated. Griddlebone gave him a look of confusion. "Mungojerrie is no longer of any use to me, but Celeste I want her to get acquainted with the jellicles and when she loves them, I get her and kill them. Killing them when she loves them is the best way to destroy her. Fair punishment, don't you think?" Griddlebone gave a dark smile and left Macavity to his work.

At the junkyard Jelly had been visiting Munkustrap and Demeter's den everyday to check on the new kit. Munkus and Dem were constantly looking after the kit. She was theirs of course. When Jelly came to visit their den that day she finally said the kit could go outside. Most of Celeste's wounds were healed over and she could move around a lot more. While she was still healing she got acquainted with Munkus ad Dem, but they still hadn't told her that she was their kit. When Celeste was waiting for Munkus to walk her outside he told her,

"Kit, I need to keep watch today. My friend Alonzo has been keeping watch forever and I need to take over. My brother the Rum Tum Tugger will be here to show you around." She nodded timidly. Soon enough Tugger walked into the den to find the kit sitting by the door ready to go. Tugger looked at her pretty color and her unforgettable eyes and he almost fainted.

"Hey, Munkus this kit looks like-" Munkus cut him off.

"Like she could use some friends around here, right Tugger." Tugger looked at his brother and got the message. Tugger walked up to the shy kit and kneeled down to her level.

"My brother probably told you, but I'm the Rum Tum Tugger. Just call me Tugger." He grabbed her paw and led her out the door. Tugger led Celeste to the place where all of the younger kits play. He turned to her, "What do I call you?"

"Kit, call me Kit." She said quietly. Tugger and Celeste found the kittens playing in the center of the junkyard.

"Hey, kittens!" all of the hyper kits looked up at Tugger, "This is Kit, she's new here. I want you to play with her." Celeste felt a little awkward; all of the kits Tugger was talking to were younger than her. She saw one of the smallest kits go up to him and give him big eyes,

"Please play with us daddy." The kit begged.

"Jemima, you know I can't now." The one called Jemima quivered her lip and Tugger could never resist that look. "Alright." He said giving up on trying to stand his ground. All of the kits cheered and tackled him. Celeste couldn't help but laugh at the sight of a heap of kits dog piling a grown tom. Celeste turned her head to see that a black tuxedo tom about her age was sitting to the side aloe, looking really sad. Celeste went over to the young tom and sat by him.

"Pretty funny sight, huh?" she said to get his attention. He turned to her a bit startled.

"Sure it's pretty funny." He said looking distant. Then he remembered he was with a guest. "Oh my! For give my manners, I completely forgot to introduce myself. I'm Mistoffelees or you may call me Misto, and you are?" Celeste was really surprised at the tom's reaction. He sure had manners.

"Just call me Kit." She said sweetly, "I'm sorry I know we just met, but I saw you were alone and you seemed sad. May I ask what's wrong?" Misto sighed and tried to hold back some tears.

"The one I thought I loved left me for another. Victoria left me for a bigger, tougher tom." Misto let tears fall from his face, "I'm sorry to trouble you with this. She just seemed to love me, but I now know she obviously didn't." he felt small arms wrap around him. He looked up to see Celeste hugging him.

"I know you hardly know me, but when I'd cry or I was hurt an old friend used to hug me and I'd feel better in no time." Celeste was right. Misto did feel better. He hugged her back in thanks.

"Thank you, Kit." They let go of each other and turned to see Tugger trying to get Etcetera to release his leg. They both chuckled. Misto turned back to Celeste.

"So you're new around here?" he said still trying to calm down. He wanted to get off the topic of Victoria. Celeste nodded.

"Tugger was supposed to show me around, but he got sidetracked." Misto got up,

"Well why don't I show you around?" Celeste smiled and got up to walk around the junkyard.
