Chapter 18 – "A Story Disappearing, a New Chapter Awakening"

"MISTO!" Maj rapped her arms around his neck. "Oh Misto, my love, I thought I lost you!" "Gah! Easy my love, you still just might." He said holding his wounded side. He was trying to use his healing magic to stop the bleeding. Maj placed her paw on his. As they looked into each other's eyes, she released her own healing magic and in seconds, the wounds were gone. They stared deep into each others' eyes and started to lean forward… "Yo, lovebirds!" Munkustrap interrupted. "We'd better get back to the ship. It's not safe here."

So far, it was smooth sailing, till Morgan got to the river. "I jus' put th' engine on auto pilot. Sea dogs an' land lubbers can rest in th' bunks belowdecks!" Tired and hurt all of the cats headed down to the bunks…well, almost all. Misto and Maj stayed on the top deck. "You know, Misto," Maj said, putting he head on his shoulder, "I knew you'd come for me. No through my visions…but through my heart." Misto rest hid head against hers. "I know… and from this moment on Maj, I will always be here to protect you." They both gazed up at the night sky as the ship sailed slowly across the river. The constellations seemed to dance in celebration of their devotion.

Misto: Can you imagine?
What would happen?
If we could have any dream
I'd wish this moment
Was ours to own it
And that it would never leave
Then I would thank that star
That made our wish come true
(
Maj: come true) oh yeah
Cause he knows that
Where you are is where
I should be too

Right here, Right now
I'm looking at you and
My Heart loves the view
Cause you mean everything

Right Here, I'll promise you Somehow that tomorrow
Can wait for some other
Day to be (
Maj: to be)
But right now there's you and me

Maj: If this was forever,
What could be better?
We already proved it was
But that two thousand one hundred
twenty three hours,
Blend in the universe
Gonna make everything
In our whole world change
(
Misto: it's our change, yeah)
And you know that
Where we are
will never be the same oh no

Maj: Right here, Right now
I'm looking at you and
My Heart loves the view
Cause you mean everything

Right Here, I'll promise you Somehow that tomorrow
Can wait for some other
Day to be (
Misto: to be)
But right now there's you and me

Both: Oh we know it's coming
And it's coming fast
(As long as there's
You and me)
(Oh, yeah)
So let's make the our
Second last, make it last!

Misto: Right here, Maj: Right now
Misto: I'm looking at you
Maj: And my Heart loves the view
Both: Cause you mean everything

Right Here, I'll promise you Somehow that tomorrow
Can wait for some other
Day to be (to be)
But right now there's you and me
(
Misto: you and me)

Maj: Ohh, you and me

Both: But right now there's you and…me

Back at the Harbour Junkyard, the danger had passed and the tribes retuned. But the rest of the Strays and Jellicles were getting very worried. The ten days had passed and there was still no sign of the rescue party. Many were starting to have their doubts about them ever returning.

"Maybe they'll never come back!" Mallie wined as the kitten played in the yard.
"Don't eeven tink dat, Señora Mal. Dale coum back, yoo'll see!" Tito exclaimed as he flipped in the air.
Old A came up to the kits. "That's the spirit, young one. We mustn't lose hope and trust in our friends."

As if on cue, Flip ran wildly around the yard. "It's them! It's them! They've returned! Woof arf woof!" The rescue party hurried towards the front gates, Maj and Misto up in front. Their friends gathered and started to sing in honour of Maj's return and the two magical cats put on a magnificent light show as the song rang out.

Tonka: You ought to know the Magical Mista Maj-ology
The original Conjuring Cat
There can be no doubt about that
Please listen to me and don't scoff; All her
Inventions are off her own bat
(*drum roll*)
There's no such cat in the metropolis
She holds all the patent monopolies
For performing surprising illusions
And creating eccentric confusions!

The greatest magicians have something to learn
From Mista Maj-ology's conjuring turn

And we'll all say:
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mista Maj-ology!

She's quiet she's small
She is white
From the ears to the tip of her tail
She can creep through the tiniest crack
She can walk on the narrowest rail

She can pick any card from a pack
She is equally cunning with dice
She is always deceiving you into believing
That she's only hunting for mice, Oww!

She can play any trick with a cork
Or a spoon and a bit of fish paste
If you look for a knife or a fork
And you think it was merely misplaced

You have seen it one moment, and then it is gone!
But you find it next week lying out on the lawn!

And we all say:
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mista Maj-ology!

Maj: Presto!

All:
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mista Maj-ology!
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mista Maj-ology!

Tonka: Her manner is vague and aloof
And You would think there was nobody shyer
But her voice has been heard on the roof
When she was curled up by the fire

And she's sometimes been heard by the fire
While she was about on the roof
At least we all heard that somebody purred
Which is uncontestable proof

Of her singular magical powers
And I've known the family to call
Her in from the garden for hours
While she was asleep in the hall

And not long ago this phenomenal cat
Produced seven kittens right out of a hat!

And we all say:
All: Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mista Maj-ology!

Tonka: Magical!

And not long ago this phenomenal cat
Produced seven kittens right out of a hat!
And we all say: Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mista Maj-ology!

All: Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mista Maj-ology!

Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mista Maj-ology!
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mista Maj-ology!
Oh! Well I never! Was there ever
A cat so clever as magical Mista Maj-ology!

Tonka: I give you all,
The Magical,
The Marvelous
Mista Maj-ology!

After the performance, Old D and Old A settled everyone down and gathered them in front of the TSE 2 boat. "Finally, our tribes are together again. We never gave up hope that you would return back home safely. And we are glad to welcome the newcomers who helped bring back the ones we love." Old A purred. "Please do tell us about your adventure. We are dying to know how you all escaped." And so, Usagi and Munk told how the rescue team met Masquerade Jack, entered the lair, freed Maj and the French cat family, and battled the malicious felines.

"I see…" Old D mewed. "So Macavity and Deravity escaped. *sigh* Knowing those two they'll be back for revenge."
"Yes… but their injuries they sustained were severe." Usagi stated. "They won't be back for a long time."
"Well, in that case, now that Maj has been returned and the Jellicles are safe, I do believe it's the perfect time for a celebrate." Old A meowed.
"Yeeah, we shood bee 'aving a Fiesta!" Tito exclaimed. And what a fiesta it was.

Wonton ordered food from all the restaurants in the food district and even worked a small grill and barbecued fish.
Tito had fixed the TV and Masquerade played the 3D movie he was in and even signed autographs and re-enacted scenes.
Capt. Morgan told the kittens about his adventures as a pirate cat while Frisk and Bella talked about their lives as thieves.
Splinter and Skimble made a train and subway car out of nearby junk and gave the cats rides.
Tonka, Ruby and Malurina started a dance competition among the queens while every so often Misto or Maj set of fireworks.
And best of all, the Wild Runners set up a stage where they gave their performance and then left the stage to give everyone a chance to sing their heart out!

Alfa: A Bone shatters, fall apart and hit the floor
If it doesn't thrill you it doesn't matter anymore
Bones shatter, maybe don't go out this time

No matter where you've been or who you are
If it doesn't kill you it's sure to leave a horrible scar
Bones shatter, baby don't go out this time

So what's another Stan who's not a fan a million miles away?
And what's he gonna do to me that I haven't already seen?
You'll never stop me; you know it's everything to me

All: We'll never stop
Cause we're only getting better
We're not making this up
So just write another letter
I'll be fine
Alive again, another day, I'm not afraid to get over
We'll never stop
Cause we're only getting better, I'll be fine

Alfa: I've been better seen a brighter side of life
But any friend of the failure's a friend of mine
Bones shatter, baby don't go out this time

So what's another Stan who's not a fan a million miles away?
And what's he gonna do to me that I haven't already seen?
You'll never stop me; you know it's everything to me

All: We'll never stop
Cause we're only getting better
We're not making this up
So just write another letter
I'll be fine
Alive again, another day, I'm not afraid to get over
We'll never stop
Cause we're only getting better, I'll be fine

Alfa: I'll be fine…
You were everything to me
You were everything to me
You were everything to me
You were everything to me!

All: We'll never stop
Cause we're only getting better
We're not making this up
So just write another letter
I'll be fine
Alive again, another day, I'm not afraid to get over
We'll never stop
Cause we're only getting better, I'll be fine
Alive again
Another day
A way to get over
Alive again
Another day
A way to get over!

After the applause died down, Tito bravely went up to Burmie. "Oi Señor, hows 'bout yoo and I do eet Strrray Kat style!"
"Well, what the heck! Watch and learn, Fluffy!" "Hey! I saved your life, Fuzzball!"

Burmie: Uno, dos, quartos, hit it!

Burmie: She's into superstition
Black cats and voodoo dolls. (Take it Tito!)

Tito: I feel a premonition
That girl's gonna make me fall

Burmie: Here we Go!
She's into new sensation
new kicks in the candlelight
she's got a new addiction
for every day and night

Tito:
She'll make you take your
Clothes off and go dancing in the rain
She'll make you live her crazy life
But she'll take away your pain

Burmie and Tito: Like a bullet to your brain!

Burmie and Tito:
Upside inside out
She's livin la Vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
She's livin la Vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her fur's the color of mocha
She will wear you out
Livin la Vida loca
Livin la vida loca
She's livin la vida loca

Tito: Whoaaaa, ohhhhh, ohhh, ohhhh, ohhh, ohhh, ohh

Tito: Hey Burmie that's Spanish!

Woke up in New York City
and find in a cheap motel
she took my heart and took my money
She must slipped me a sleeping pill

She never drinks the water and makes you drink champagne
and once you taste the pain you will never feel the same!

Both:
Yes she'll make you go insane!

Burmie and Tito: Upside inside out
She's livin la Vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
She's livin la Vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her furs the color of mocha
She will wear you out
Livin la Vida loca

Burmie: Come on!

Burmie: Oh she's livin a loca
bring it down

Burmie and Tito: Upside inside out
She's livin la Vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
She's livin la Vida loca
livin la Vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
She's livin la Vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her furs the color of mocha
She will wear you out
Livin la Vida loca
Livin la Vida loca
Livin la Vida loca
Livin la Vida loca

The kittens booed. "Save it for Halloween you two!" Loki yelled. "Yeah! We'll show you how it's done!" Mallie mewed as the kits jumped onstage.

Rosuto: Everybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat
Who knows where it's at

Loki: Tell me, everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat
'Cause everything else is obsolete.
A square with a horn makes you wish you weren't born
Rosuto: Every time he plays

Loki: But with a square in the act
You can set music back

Rosuto: To the cave man days, cha cha ba dum bo day

Loki: I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing
Rosuto: Still a cat's the only cat who knows how to swing

Sparta: Who wants to dig a long haired gig or stuff like that

Loki and Rosuto: When everybody wants to be a cat
A square with a horn makes you wish you weren't born
Every time he plays

Loki: Oh a rinky tinky dinky

Loki and Rosuto: With a square in the act you can set music back
To the cave man days

Mouse: Oh a rinky tinky kinky

Mouse & Loki: Everybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at
While playin' jazz you always have a welcome mat
'Cause everybody digs a swinging cat.

Koja: Oh boy fellas, let's rock this joint!

Sparta: Ha ha groovy cats!

Mallie: If you want to turn me on,
Play your horn don't spare the tone,
and blow a little soul into the tune.

Loki: Let's take it to another key.

Rosuto: Modulate, and wait for me.
I'll take a few ad-libs and pretty soon.

Loki: The other cats will all commence
Congregating on the fence.
Underneath the alley's only light.

Mallie: Where every note is out of sight…

(Jazz music begins again)
All Kittens: Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!

Rosuto: Hallelujah!

All Kittens: Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!
Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to be a cat!
Everybody, everybody, everybody now!

Close to midnight, Maj slipped out from the party to look at the stars and pray. "At last this is over… the Jellicles are finally free and we won't be hunted by evil for a while. We…we are at peace!"
"Maj?" Misto came up from behind and joined her on the rock; the same rock where he first confessed his love. "Why aren't you at the celebration?"
"I was just thinking… with the Evil cats gone, we're now free."
"Yes… but you know what?" he said rapping his tail across her shoulder. "I'm just glad to be here with you." Maj smiled and the two leaned close. As they kissed, only one thought rang through Maj's mind: "And the two of us will always be together…"

~THE END~
