Isn't getting an update always a nice thing? Well, here is the 3rd chapter! We are now at roughy the half way point in the story, though more chapters could be added if I like to space out the chapters more, I do wish to have more longer chapters though, hopefully the next one will be longer. Mind you, I'm making this chapters in about a day so I guess that's something good, right?

Anyway then, its time to see what happens next...

Chapter 3

There Goes That Tom

It was now later into the day and thankfully for most of the Jellicles, the effects of the bad milk were slowly disappearing and things could at last get back to normal. Admetus had for some reason disappeared that day and was nowhere to be seen, though probably a wise idea for him considering that his milk had nearly killed the tribe pretty much. Two of them now cured from it, Munkustrap and Rum Tum Tugger, had left the junkyard and were now taking a walk within a park, which all around them, various humans were hanging out and they kept themselves away from the people to make sure they wouldn't be spotted.

Since finding out he'd been cured, that smile had never left Munkustrap's face since he'd left the Junkyard, though Tugger had other thoughts that were going through his mind.

"Well, that seems all right that I'm ready for action again," Munkustrap noted to his brother, seemly to forget about the whole plight of Mistoffelees.

"It's alright for us," Tugger replied admitted. "But what about poor old Mistoffelees?"

Munkustrap looked at him. "Who knows, with some female companionship, maybe he's enjoying it." He knew that since Mistoffelees' sister had mated with Plato sometime ago, the young magical cat hadn't really been seen with any other queen since, so the silver tabby assumed that despite it being Electrione of all queens he was with, maybe some good would come out of it. Then again Munkustrap was a bit too happy with him feeling healthy again.

"You really sure about that?" Rum Tum Tugger asked with a dubious expression. "He didn't look like he was enjoying it when he was dragged across the street by her."

The silver tabby paused and his lips formed a straight line while looking away from Tugger. "Ah well, maybe the thought of not having a queen that now he's now an adult has finally got to him."

"…What?" Tugger uttered, never hearing such nonsense from his no-nonsense older brother.

"Don't tell me about loneliness," Munkustrap added sadly, the smile from before now all but gone as he began reflecting. "I know all about it…I remember when Macavity had captured Demeter, I didn't know where to turn…so many sad, lonesome nights just thinking about her. It was then I understood that I loved her and that she was my only one, amazing what a queen can do for you."

His brother could only shake his head in irritation at hearing this story again. "You know, you can talk some crap."

With that said, the two carried on walking through the park. It was then Tugger suddenly picked up a familiar scent in the air. "Hang on, I think I can smell Misto."

Munkustrap spun round to face him. "You mean he's here?"

Tugger glanced round. "Maybe, of perhaps he-hey, look over there!"

Munkustrap looked over to see what Tugger was pointing at. It was a letter, not noticeable for human eye but easy to spot for cat eyes. Quickly, the two rushed over to the note, they could smell it having Mistoffelees' scent on it.

"What'd its say?" Tugger asked with great keenest as Munkustrap opened up the note to read it.

"It says," the silver tabby began, already noticing it being Misto's pawwriting. "Help! I'm being held prisoner by Electrione, signed Mistoffelees."

The two of them stared at one another in horror. Mistoffelees was in trouble! "Come on, we gotta find him!" Tugger barked and the two quickly dashed heading out of the park, while in the process dropping the note they'd read.

Almost on cue as soon as they left, from behind a bush nearby, Electrione came in dragging Mistoffelees by the arm like before, only this time however he was carrying a large sack of various items, a sack so big that it could've made Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer's bags put to shame.

Mistoffelees hadn't even a second to think what was happening, the Bombay queen dragging him was speaking a mile a minute to him, telling him various stuff that he wasn't picking up on, it all sounded like a wall of voices talking to him at the same time.

Oh, how he wished it would be all over.

Towards the gate of the park, Munkustrap and Rum Tum Tugger were hurrying on their way to exit the park. Up ahead, they notice two kittens, one tom-kit being a patched cream and brown bi-colour tom and the other being a rusty black queen-kit. The two noticed them almost straight away of who they were. Pouncival and Jemima.

They could see that Jemima had her arm wrapped round Pouncival's waist, as if she was trying to steady him as they were walking out the park together. Also, the young tom had a pale green face and his face looked unhealthy, it looked like he had just gotten sick.

"Alright you two?" Tugger called up to them, in which the young kits noticed to see the brothers.

"Hi Munk, Hi Tugger!" Jemima smiled at her step dad and uncle.

"Hey…" Pouncival responded dully to them.

"How's the date going then?" Tugger smirked noticing how close they seemed to be, making the two kits to blush.

"We're not dating!" Pouncival spluttered. "I'm feeling awful and Jemima's just helping me out."

"Let me guess," Tugger speculated. "Your dad's milk?"

Pouncival help his paw over him mouth as if he was about to be sick again. "Don't remind me off that stuff!"

Munkustrap scratched his head in puzzlement. "If he's ill why is he out then?"

"It came out of nowhere," Jemima answered, speaking on her best friend's behave. "He said he felt ok not so long ago, then while we were about playing, he suddenly got sick...he wasn't cured after all." She held a look of sadness for her friend, who was taking in deep breaths trying to feel better.

"You're still ill?" The Maine Coon asked in disbelief. " Even at this hour? Bast, I'd hate to be you right now...No disrespect."

Munkustrap, now noticing they were wasting time not looking for Mistoffelees, quickly changed the subject of the conversation. "Never mind that, have you two seen Mistoffelees?"

"What's happened?" Pouncival asked looking up at the silver tabby.

"He's been catnapped by Electrione," Tugger enlightened

The two young kits starred in surprise. "Catnapped?" they asked simultaneously.

"It's a long story," Munkustrap answered, knowing that the two kits probably didn't know who this queen was. "Have you seen him at all today?"

Jemima and Pouncival looked at one another trying to memorize the day's events, until Jemima remembered something.

"Wait a minute," She explained. "…Yes, I remember now. I think I saw him not so long ago, he was being led around by this queen."

"He was also carrying the sack of stuff I think," Pouncival added, now recalling seeing the tuxedo tom.

Munkustrap and Rum Tum Tugger could only imagine the sight of Poor Mistoffelees being dragged around all day by that queen. Just why had she gone for him out of all the toms in the tribe?

"Do you know where they might be?" Munkustrap questioned looking down at his stepdaughter.

The rusty black queen was about to reply saying that she didn't know, until she become aware of seeing just outside the park two cats across the street. Then she noticed who they were.

"They're over there!" She pointed to them which the three toms all turned their head to the direction Jemima was pointing to.

It was Mistoffelees and Electrione. Like before, the Bombay queen was yanking him across the street by his arm, how no human was noticing this seemed rather bizarre. This time however, true to Pouncival's words, Mistoffelees was carrying a large brown sack, whatever was in it was anyone's guess.

Mistoffelees had noticed them and despite being hauled down the street, he tried calling out for help to them, but as soon as they been there, the two were once more, out of sight.

The four Jellicles didn't know how to react as they stood there in stunned silence.

"There goes that tom," Tugger uttered, his golden eyes widened now.

"Who would've thought of it?" Munkustrap spoke up staring ahead, with the others looking at him. "The great and magical Mr. Mistoffelees…seen out doing pre-mate hood shopping."

Title drop! But poor Misto, how will they get him out this one then and why isn't he using his magic? Well, review as in the next chapter and we'll find out how he got himself into this situation. Stay tune for an update sometime!
