JELLICLE BALL

Quaxo's POV still ;)

I followed Tugger as he ran back to the clear. He stopped so suddenly so I bumped into him. "MUNKU!" Tugger shouted as if he didn't notice me bumping onto him. Victoria and Jemima ran to me helping me.

"Whoa. What's with Tugger?"

"Yeah. What's with?"

"He became like that when I told him that Macavity threatened me. Well, kinda threatened me... I don't know." Jemima suddenly tensed. I looked around and found Tugger talking to Munkustrap intensely. I walked towards them. "Uh, Tugger," Tugger looked at me with eyes piercing through me.

"What exactly did he say?"

"He said that I shouldn't ruin his plan tonight."

"1 more hour Tugger... we'll just have to do what we can do later. Now, get ready. You too, Quax." Munkustrap said. I nodded while looking at Tugger then walked away.

30 more minutes. 1800 more seconds 'til the Jellicle Ball... 'til I'm going to ruin his plan. Yes, I'm going to. "Quax," Tugger said.

"What?"

"Hey, I'm sorry for looking at you like that, sorry for not saying sorry when I bumped you."

"It's ok." I sighed. "29 more minutes."

"You can do it. I believe in you." Tugger gave me a kiss on the lips which made my heart leap. This, I hope, wouldn't be our last.

"JELLICLES! 10 minutes!" Munkustrap yelled. I rolled my eyes at this, he was super demanding. I never knew he was like this.

Only during the Jellicle Ball. Oh. My. God. Who was that?

It's me. Coricopat. Keltings my thing. I looked at Cori who was on the other side of the clear who just grinned at me. Just think. I'll be able to hear you. It's what we, magical cats do.

Can you hear me?

Duh. Of course I can. So anyway, Munku's only like that during the Jellicle Ball. He really gets pissed if everything doesn't go as planned.

Oh.. ok. Thanks? I looked at Cori once more who nodded and chuckled then went back to what he was doing. That was massively weird. I sighed and assumed position. Three more minutes. Everyone was on their position and I saw something that shocked me. I saw Tugger, but without his mane. I had to pull back a laugh.

Suddenly Demeter went out and a car almost hit her so she ran back to the pipe. Munkustrap went out, then Cassandra, then Skimble, then Pounce, who was told a lot of times not to show up there. Then out came Cori and Tanto so did Electra, then Tugger came out, again I tried not to laugh. Demeter came out of the pipe. Munkustrap crawled down the TSE 1, stood up, then sang.

Are you blind when you're born?

Can you see in the dark? Demeter sang.

Can you look at a king? sang Skimble then Agustus Would you sit on his throne? Then sang Tugger,

Can you say of your bite that it's worse than your bark?

Are you cock of the walk? sang Alonzo.

When you're walking alone. Sang... a queen who I didn't know. Maybe she just come out during the Ball.

Because jellicles are and jellicles do
Jellicles do and jellicles would
Jellicles would and jellicles can
Jellicles can and jellicles do Sang everybody...

Jennyanydots' singing her song now and I'm kinda worried about how Tugger's gonna butt in. Jenny just finished and is shaking hands with the adults. Then music came out. Tugger. I smiled. I sat on the TSE 1 car and Tugger ripped off this thing and meowed. During the song, Tugger did something that kinda pissed me off. He kicked the ball towards me so I had to dodge. I thought about something that would tick him off.

The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible BORE I sang sounding bored on the outside. I'm very sure that will tick him off.

Tugger was interrupted by the end by this queen who looked like she's been thrown away or something. I felt sympathy for her so I tried to touch her but Munkustrap stopped me. He pushed me away like saying 'keep away'. I searched around for Tugger but couldn't find him. I had to ask someone about this.

Cori. I tried to talk to him. Psst. Cori.

What?

heard me.

Yes, now what do you want?

I just want to ask you, who's that queen? I heard him hiss in my head.

That's Grizabella. She was a Jellicle before. She's Tugger's mom and he hates her for leaving him. He always thought that she left because of him... but she didn't. She wanted to explore that world. And now she's back hoping that she could become a Jellicle again... I looked at Cori. He had an angry expression on his face. I sighed. I'll find Tugger later. Demeter sang about Grizabella, like insulting her or something.

We all looked at Grizabella leaving. I really felt sorry for her. My sadness suddenly became happiness when I smelled a familiar scent. I smelled Uncle Bustopher. I turned and there, I saw him. My long lost Uncle. I only saw him once but remember his scent ever since. I felt so excited that I only realized after a while that he was a Jellicle. I followed him around, left, right, forward backward. Then suddenly a loud crash came and Uncle Bustopher left and everyone, including me. So I left to find Tugger.

I found him sitting by the big pile of clothes looking up at the moon. He looked down and buried his face on his paws. He sighed and I walked over to him. I placed my paw on his shoulder and he looked up at me. I saw tears falling on his face. "Oh. Hey." He quickly wiped his tears then let out a chuckle. "Really?"

"Really what?"

"'A terrible bore.'?"

"Oh. That." I chuckled. "You kicked that rubber ball at me."

"Hey, not intentionally. I do that all the time. How would I know that my mate's going to be sitting there."

"Mate?" My heart did this jump as he said mate.

"It is the Jellicle Ball isn't it?"

"But... aren't we going to do that dance?"

"Nope. I asked Munkustrap if we just be mates once the ball started. So, mates we are." I smiled then hugged him.

"Uhm... about Grizabella..."

"Please. Don't."

"I just wanna know about it."

"I'll tell you after the ball. Okay?"

"Okay. Come on. Let's go back."

"You go first. I'll follow."

"You sure?" Tugger nodded and I went.

We caught Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer doing all that nioce and having a song for themselves. I actually found this funny but I had to act like I was pissed. You know, so I couldn't piss off Munk. He already looked pissed. I sensed Old Deuteronomy around.

"Old Deuteronomy?" I asked and looked at Munkustrap. He looked at Tanto and Cori to see if it was true.

"I believe it is Old Deuteronomy..." All of us smiled and I went to fetch Old Deuteronomy.

There will be a part 2 for this. :D R&R! :D
