The time takes place Several Weeks later. A Month and a half before the Jellicle Ball…..

Jemima stood there in the cold crisp air of winter , staring up at the moon. She mumbled a few words that sounded wonderful in her mouth

" Sunlight Through the trees in Summer.

Endless masquerading,

Like a flower.."

She sighed, she couldn't figure out the last words. She huffed, as her large brown eyes twinkled, a figure walked out of the shadows, her best friend ever, Electra.

"Daylight

See the dew on a sunflower

And a rose that is fadingRoses wither away

Like Cassandra, I yearn to turn my face to the dawn

I am waiting for the daaaaay"

Jemima stared at her best friend. Who smiled widely.

" I know how you feel about The Jellicle Ball…You can have my part…" Electra smiled.

Jemima's large eyes swelled up " Really? Are you sure? You have so many lines!"

" I'll take your line the bell thingy" Electra shrugged.

The dark calico kitten hugged her friend and smiled to herself. She was really part of the Jellicle Ball!

Munkustrap tucked little Victoria in her bed. She was everything a father could dream of. She loved Munkustrap so much, she helped him get out of his depression and doing Catnip. He did it for her and Alonzo. Over the past few weeks The silver tabby and her brothers taught Victoria to walk and dance, she still stuttered badly though.

" I wove you." The white kitten stammered. It was obvious that with each word she struggled. Munkustrap worried that in her single shared line in the Jellicle Ball she would mess up. Being the Jellicle Protector it wouldn't look good that his daughter couldn't sing. Thank Goodness that Electra would be there to help her. He sighed with tears in his eyes and went to Alonzo's room.

In the den across the Jellicle Junkyard a Siamese pregnant queen was stretching swiftly in bed. She felt hard painful tugging at her loins. Blood squirted out of her. She immediately ran to Jennyanydot's den. She opened the door and explained what happened, blood still gushing out of her.

It was a long time before Jenny nervously said

" Cassandra, I'm sorry but you miscarried."

The dark queen with blue eyes suddenly dropped to the ground and groaned. Suddenly Coricopat was there by her side patting her. Though he was crying too.

Coricopat stared straight at The Moon and hissed bitterly " Why Everlasting Cat, WHY!"

Cassandra hugged her mate and kissed his ear, thus shushing him.

The physic tom squealed and whispered " They would have been perfect."

They huddled together and grieved.

The long night has passed. Morning. One day closer to the Jellicle Ball.

Etcetera jumped out of bed, brightly and ran to the kitchen for breakfast. No one was there. She surprised went into her older brother's rooms. Admetus nor Plato was there. She quickly trotted into her other brother's room. Tumblebrutus was gone, but Pouncival still slept. She tussled his fur, waking him up.

" Pouncie, Mama and Addie and Plato and Tumbles are all gone!" She yowled.

The chubby tabby kitten screamed " Mama is dead?" Tears formed in the young kit eyes.

" I don't know!" Etcetera grabbed her younger brother's paw and ran out the door.

She saw almost all the Jellicles surrounding Cassandra and Coricopat, who were crying.

" Cettie, What happened?" Pouncival stared at his older sister.

The queen kit ignored her brother.

" Etcy! Cettie! Etcetera! Tera! Etce-tera!" Pouncival tugged on her tail.

She didn't say a word except quickly rush to the other Jellicles. She looked up at Bombalurina and curiously asked

"What Happened?"

" There's been a tragedy…" The scarlet red queen shuddered. " Cassandra has lost her kits."

" Lost them?" Pouncival cocked his fuzzy head.

" There gone." Bombalurina whispered.

Etcetera touched her brother slightly to shut him up.

Cassandra suddenly got to her legs and walked to her den. Coricopat followed her, Everyone stared at them.

Tantomile spoke up " I knew this would happen.I knew all along. I just don't understand why Coricopat didn't see it happening! He is such an idiot! "

The Rum Tum Tugger put a paw on her shoulder, she swatted at him and scratched his paw. She trotted to her den.

The Rum Tum Tugger hissed " It's a tragedy, but couldn't they just have more kittens?" He calmly humped the air.

The black and gold queen, Demeter growled deep in her throat " Shut Up!"

" How 'bout you make me, Miss Paranoid!" Tugger jumped at her.

Demeter stuck her tongue at her half-brother, grabbed Jemima's hand, and walked back to her den.

Etcetera looked around for her mother. She saw Plato holding Victoria on his lap, she ran to him.

" Plato, were is Mamma?" she asked.

" She is at Jenny's , Me and Admetus get to watch Victoria while all the Jellicles do their practicing for the Ball." Plato petted Victoria's head. " Mom says you need to see her and bring Pounce."

She stared at her older, taller, muscular brother " Do you think that Cassandra and Coricopat will get over this?"

" I have no idea." Plato said flatly.

Etcetera grabbed Pouncival's paw and hurried to Jennyanydot's den.

Cassandra gawked out her window of trash. She knew she wasn't cut out to be a mother. Never was. Never will be. Her stomach felt queasy still but not as bad. She looked at Coricopat, who had straightened out since the night before.

" Coricopat, we need to talk." Cassandra was amazed at her words.

" About What?" His nose was stuffed up.

" I don't think I will be able to have kittens. I think my body is to fragile." She lied, she thought she lied at least.

" Cassandra, I love you. No matter what you can or cannot do" Coricopat touched her head.

The Siamese pushed him off of her " You don't understand what I'm saying Coricopat!" She stormed out of room. She couldn't believe herself! What did she mean? Did she want to break up with Coricopat? Well, She did. But she didn't, after all, She was pregnant with his kits, till she miscarried. But she wanted Alonzo! The black and white tom that got on her nerves, and yet still made her feel warm and fuzzy inside. But Coricopat was wonderful….. So muscular and gentle. But new every move before she made it, most of the time. She could stay with Coricopat, and yet still have a crush on Alonzo… Let's just see how the Jellicle Ball works out.. She held her breath waiting for Coricopat to appear next to her. But he didn't

Cassandra strolled into the living room were the dark tabby was lying on the couch. He glanced at her.

" You don't love me anymore? Do you?" His words petrified her.

" Cori, of course I do!" She wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

They then smooched.
