Jellicles In Training

A Cats Musical/CO world Crossover

Chapter 8 – "Tribes Unite part 1"

The Jellicles hurried towards the front gates of their new home, amazed at how different it was to their previous residence. Usagi and Old Atteronomy were waiting for them at the front of the yard. Maj ran toward Munk, "That orange and white cat is Usagi Koneko who, by the way, is a Japanese Bobtail. Like you, he's the Tribe Protector and second in command. And that big gray cat is our Leader, Old Atteronomy. He's lived a long time, many lives in succession. He was famous in proverb and famous in rhyme a long while before Queen Anne's accession."

"No way, that's even older than Old D!"

"The S.I.T. has been around for a long time. Even before my parents were born."

The group walked up to the two toms. "We've been awaiting your arrival." Usagi said, "Well done Maj, Flip, and Shadow."

"Uh…YO!"

"And you too Burmie."

"You are welcome to stay as long as you like, new friends." Old A spoke. "Our Junkyard is your Junkyard." After a quick talk with Old D and Shadow ran back to the darkness of his home, the Jellicles headed towards their houses. Maj, true to her word, had teleported them safely and placed them each in a different ideal spot. Each Jellicle found its house and next to it, a neighbor they were sure to become good friends with.

"Well, we're neighbors again Jenny, just like old times."

"And this is a perfect place to watch over the kits, isn't it Jelly?"

The two motherly queens found their houses near a huge open space in the yard which was ideal for keeping an eye on kittens. Already they thought the new kits looked delightful and couldn't wait to get to know them. They were just getting their cushions and sewing out when, *SPLASH!*, a bucket of sea water fell on top of poor Burmie! "KOJA, LOKI! YOU LITTLE RATS!!!!"

"Nice, a direct hit!!!!" Tugger thought as his new rival started to dry himself off.

A couple of giggles were heard from behind an old float. Koja and Loki's trick had worked. "Such naughty kits."Jelly said. "They look like they're going to be a pawful."

Then, a voice came from next door, "Loki, Koja, come out right now." It was SnowOwySpots the kitten-sitter. Koja and Loki walked up to her, tails between their legs. "Honestly, you two know better, this is really un-adult like." She lectured.

"We're sorry, Snow. We just can't help it." They said looking down at the ground.

"Good, now go and tell Burmie your sorry, Dears."

"Yes, Snow." They walked away.

"Wow, you really have a way with kits." Jenny said walking up to the new queen.

"Thanks, the name's SnowOwySpots. I was from an old cat breeder, so I'm a real expert." The Snowshoe cat replied. "Although, it does get pretty being the only kit-sitter."

"Well, we're also kitten-sitters. We can help out, Ms. SnowOwySpots." Jelly suggested.

"That would be just splendid! And just call me Snow, Dears."

After Jenny and Jelly pointed out the Jellicle Kittens to Snow, she took them around pointing out the Stray Kits.

"What a lovely spot, isn't it Demeter?"

"Just perfect, Bomba."

The two queens had their houses side by side. Truly the best of friends. "I wonder how Munk is settling in." Demeter said stepping forward. As she did, she stepped on something. It was a broken toy pinwheel and a small U.S. flag from the 4th of July. "Excuse me, that's mine." A voice came from above. The two friends looked up to see a queen with fur almost as fiery red as Bomba's standing on the roof of the house next door. She had bright green eyes and a black spiked collar. In fact, the only difference between her and Bomba was the few specks of brown and her gold hoop earrings.

Dem handed the things up to the new cat. "Thanks. You must be new around here, the name's Ruby (more commonly known as The Scarlet Stray). And this here's my little sister, Malurina." She pointed down at a little kit with the same color fur and black streaks on her face sitting by the door.

"You can call me Mal or Mallie if ya want to." She said with a cute look in her eye.

It was then that the friends saw her house wasn't a plain normal cardboard house, but had been decorated with old, broken toys and small ornaments once used by humans. "Wow Ruby, your house is amazing!" Bomba complemented.

"What this? It's just a bunch of junk I found in the trash cans behind the toy-shop."

The two queens looked at their plain boring houses. "Maybe we could come with you some day and find stuff for our houses?" Dem requested.

"Sure, if you're up to rooting through garbage." The Scarlet Stray replied as she tried to push the pinwheel into a small hole in the roof. "Here Mal, this one won't fit." She handed the toy to her sister.

"Yippee!"

Misto not only had a new neighbor, but was right next to Maj. What more could he ask for? "Wow Maj. Your home is astounding. It's so different to ours."

"It takes a bit of getting use to, but it's protected us though everything" Suddenly, a power cable landed between them. "Yikes!!!"

"¡Perdone! Sorry Señora Maj." a voice came from above. It was Tito. He switched the power off and the cable went slack. "¡You okey?"

"What in the world were you doing up there?!?" Misto asked concerned for safety.

"I was workeen on de calle lámparas."

"The what?"

"De street lammps."

"Oh, why didn't you say so?"

"I deed. You zee, I'm Spanish. You just doon't undersannd español,Señor."

"Oh…"

"You must bee one o' de noow cats. My name is Ignacio Lorenzo Julio Federico de Tito El Calico, but everry one just calls me Tito."

"Mr. Mistoffelees, everyone calls me Misto."

"Ah si, de ouder majic cat. I hurd aboud yoor lightdn'. Maby you can 'elp me toomorow wheen I try too feex de old TV."

"Ummm…sure."
