Well, here it is, the final chapter! Has been fun writing this little story and I hope you've liked this piece of rambling stuff from me. Now I will say to you that for those who have read my other Cats stories, this one takes place before them, and the next Cats fic will be a serious piece and I've already started making the first chapter and the next story will be my last Cats story until I get a really good idea.

So then, let's see if Munk and Tugger will help out Misto and save him...let's find out!

Chapter 6

The Mating Ceremony

It was now midnight and for the humans, it was the end of another day, though for many cats, it was only the start of one. However, this wasn't any ordinary night for some of the Jellicle tribe. For two of them, they were out to save a friend and for another one, he thought that this was his lucky night.

After being groomed in Tugger's den back at the Junkyard. Rum Tum Tugger, Munkustrap and Admetus had all gone back to their human owners homes and get fed before heading out to this Mating Ceremony. A few hours later, all three of them were reunited back at the Junkyard and without telling the tribe of what was going on and where Mistoffelees was, they headed off to find this location where the Mating Ceremony was taking place.

The three Jellicles carried on walking until they were in an area they weren't familiar with, in fact none of them seemed to know where they where, all they knew was that it was taking place in a nearby alleyway to a rundown hotel named the 'Gibson'. Munkustrap looked back at the other two, Admetus looked transformed with all his fur looking cleaner than before. Probably this was one the first times the silver tabby had seen the tom looking like that. Munkustrap himself, though not daring to get set one foot in that alleyway, had groomed himself up just to keep up appearances. And for Tugger…well, he couldn't care less about looking good as the Maine Coon always thought he looked good every time, though comparing him to the two other toms, he looked somewhat out of place with them.

Finally after many false turns and going a few times round and round London, they finally found the 'Gibson' hotel, true to what they said, looked pretty scabby, but nearby which they could hear music…the alleyway.

"At last we're here!" Tugger cried happily before sniffing the air. "Yep, this is it. I can smell Mistoffelees' scent here."

"Mistoffelees is here?" Admetus asked, neither of the brothers saying anything about the tuxedo tom.

Munkustrap glared at Tugger, who had put his paw over his mouth, he and his big mouth. "Well…yes," The silver tabby admitted.

"Why is he here then?" The patched tom asked curiously.

"He got bored and wanted to see this thing for himself," Tugger lied.

It was a reply that made Munkustrap facepalm and Admetus to blink suspiciously at the Maine Coon.

"But that's not this is about, this is your big moment out here tonight," Munkustrap quickly said trying to change the subject.

Thankfully, Admetus quickly shook that thought out off his mind and turned to look at the tribe protector. "What am I suppose to do here then?"

Tugger grinned at him. "Just stand there and look really handsome!"

Admetus uttered a small 'argh', knowing that he could be handsome like Tugger.

"I wouldn't say be handsome all the way," Munkustrap explained. "Just have to stand there and look more attractive in trying to pull in queens than Mistoffelees could."

"Well I can do that," Admetus replied. "I can look better in doing that than Mistoffelees."

"Besides," Tugger added as they neared the alleyway, the music getting louder as they got closer. "You surely are going to be happy in finding a mate in the form of Elec—"

Munkustrap in lighting fast reflexes placed his paw over Tugger's mouth, the second time that evening Tugger had let out something he shouldn't have said. Admetus had invited over for that milk sampling the over night, be he like the rest all knew how persistent the Bombay queen was and that even Admetus would want to be with her, even if he said he'd have anyone be his mate. It was all about the element of surprise on the tom.

"Actually who is this queen?" Admetus then asked, feeling more suspicious by the minute, thinking that it was all a hoax the brothers were pulling on him.

"Relax, Admetus," Munkustrap replied. "She's in that alleyway waiting for you, just to leave it to us to bring her to you."

Though doubtful, he followed the brothers up towards the alleyway. As the rounded the corner, the three of them could only look on in amazement at seeing what seemed liked hundreds of couples doing their mating dances, all cats of all shapes, sizes and breeds together in one cramp place that surely one or two of them would've collided with each other.

Sitting on top of a few rubbish bins was a ginger tom, possibly the one in charge of the whole proceedings who looked not much than the three of them but looked tiny, almost like a kitten, and the ginger tom was sitting beside a battered music player that surprisingly seemed to be working well considering how it looked.

However as they scanned the crowd, Munkustrap and Tugger could find no trace of Mistoffelees or Electrione.

"Where is he?" Munkustrap asked Tugger as the music neared its finale.

"Wait…there they are!" Tugger pointed to right of them, it was Electrione was leading a very reluctant Mistoffelees around the dance floor, almost dragging him it seemed. The magical cat then caught sight of them and tried running towards them but was pulled back into the dance.

"Well we found him," Munkustrap announced to Admetus, who was still staring around him at how much cats where here. "And hopefully your future mate."

"Where is she then?" The patched tom asked scanning around for any sight of the queen they were talking about.

"She's dancing with Misto," Tugger pointed out towards the dancing pair.

When Admetus saw the pair and who this queen was that could be his mate by the end of the night, his eyes widen. "Wait a minute…isn't that…?"

"Electrione," Tugger nodded.

Admetus looked back at both of them. "But…she isn't—"

"Come on now," Munkustrap interrupted him. "You said on the way here that you'd take any queen despite their looks or personality, right?"

The patched tom sighed. "…Yeah, that's true…I'd take any queen even if they don't have Bombalurina's looks for example."

Rum Tum Tugger raised an eyebrow at the silver tabby with a mock look of hurt on his face. "I don't know how he could say such a thing about her."

Munkustrap rolled his eye, but just at that moment, the music finished and the cats left the dance floor and left to take a rest. Mistoffelees saw this as a golden chance to escape and tried to make a dash to his friends, but Electrione pulled him back and dragged him over towards into a crowd of cats, which they were all gathered around trying to catch some food.

"She's taking her away from us," Munkustrap said grinding his teeth. "This'll be harder than we thought."

Just then, Tugger had an idea and smiled at his brother and Admetus. "Just leave it all to me." And before the other two toms could say a word to him, the black and gold tom headed over to find Misto and Electrione.

In typical Tugger style, many cats turned their heads to look at this handsome tom among them, mostly queens not surprisingly. He then saw Mistoffelees sitting in the corner of the alleyway looking forlorn and looked like he'd do anything to get out off here. The Bombay queen then handed over the magical cat a rat, which he took hesitantly and nervously starting eating it.

"Alright then, Misto?" Tugger called him as approached him.

Tugger then gave the Bombay queen a wink, which the queen snorted and went over to grab herself a rat. From a distance, Munkustrap and Admetus had no idea what the Maine Coon had planned, everything he did seem to be made up stuff in the spur of the moment.

For Tugger however, seeing this queen wasn't swooning over him like most queens made him had to rethink his plan. "Excuse misses?" He called to her as he pulled her to one side so that only Misto could hear what they were saying.

"Tell me then," Rum Tum Tugger began. "Why is it that an attractive queen like you is hanging out with someone like Misto for?"

The Bombay queen was about to speak, but Tugger carried on talking. "You do know there's a very handsome tom up at the back who really fancies you."

Almost at one, Electrione's reaction peeked up at hearing this. "Fancies me?" She inquired, now interested in what Tugger had to say."

"Oh yeah," Tugger nodded, his golden tongue now starting to work. "He has done for ages now, quite a passion of his, never stops thinking about you if you know what I mean."

The black Bombay queen stared keenly at him. "Well, why didn't he asked to meet me then?"

Tugger pretended to put on a bashful expression. "Well…he's like me, he's shy."

Mistoffelees rolled his eyes at the irony of that statement. "If you only knew," he thought to himself.

"But wait," Electrione piped in. "Has he got a mate of his own?"

"Nope," Tugger replied with a grin. "He's free, unattached, has three sons of his own…and looking forward to spending the rest of his nine lives with a good queen."

The Maine Coon could see by her interested face that his plan was working. She began looking back towards the edge of the alleyway where Munkustrap and Admetus were standing. "Where is he then?"

Tugger looked in her direction. "The tall tom at the back there."

"Which one?" She asked.

Just then, the music started again and another idea popped into Tugger's head. "In fact…I'll point him out for you."

The Maine Coon began walking towards his friends, and suddenly grabbed an unsuspecting queen and danced with her all the way up the alleyway until he was near the two toms. He stopped dancing and facing Electrione in the distance, he pointed to Admetus behind him, not really looking where he was pointed. As he hoped though however, the Bombay queen had a large smile on her face and began to groom herself.

Tugger's plan was a success.

"She's all yours now, Admetus!" Tugger happily said to the patched tom as he danced with the queen all the way back towards Misto.

"And you see her now?" Munkustrap added looking at Electrione grooming herself. "She's getting herself ready for you."

On the other end, Electrione took a last look at her reflecting in a wet puddle before walking up to Mistoffelees, still eating his rat. "What a pity you weren't taller, Mistoffelees." And she headed off to her secret lover.

And as she left, for the first time that day…a smile crept on his face. He was free!

Meanwhile as Tugger carried on dancing with this queen and leading her into the 'dip-position', he saw Electrione heading towards Admetus. "Stay there darling!" Tugger muttered as he unwillingly dropped the queen and rushed over to Mistoffelees.

"W…What did you do?" Mistoffelees asked in amazement as Tugger approached.

"It's alright now," Tugger quickly explained. "We fixed her up with Admetus!" And the two of them looked out to see Electrione getting closer to the tom that hopefully would become her mate.

Admetus then held his hands out for her as she was near…

…But grabbed Munkustrap instead!

The silver tabby's face went white within a second as she dragged him out onto the dance floor.

Tugger and Misto could only stare in horror. "Oh Bast!" cried Tugger as he grabbed his ears. "She's gotten the wrong tom!"

Munkustrap looked over to Tugger and Mistoffelees with his face pretty much saying 'what-should-I-do?'. Complete and utter sheer terror written on the silver tabby's face.

"We gotta help him out!" Mistoffelees spat out and Tugger quickly nodded, but then suddenly pulled him back.

Tugger then looked up to Admetus, who only glared at them and looked like he would suddenly attack them.

"On second thoughts," Rum Tum Tugger spoke back to Mistoffelees. "We better get out of here before Admetus gives us more of that milk." The two chuckled for a second before Tugger remembered something. "Hold on, if she's no longer with you, that means you can use your magic right?"

Mistoffelees' blue eyes enlarged. "Your right! Wait a minute…" The magical cat then casted a lightning strike at the rat he'd been eating before. It worked, and that was to Misto was all he needed to know that he was finally not under the spell of Electrione.

"Well then, that means then you can magic us out off here," Tugger grinned, that stupid grin seemed to had never left his face.

"But what about Munk?" Mistoffelees asked seeing that the silver tabby was still stuck to dancing with Electrione and Admetus looking furious that his night had been wasted.

"Don't worry," Tugger replied with a mischief twinkle in his green eyes. "If he can handle Macavity then I'm sure he can handle this no problem."

Mistoffelees took one last look at the other two toms before giving his best friend a dubious look. "…Alright then, let's get out of here."

And with a snap of his fingers, Mistoffelees and Tugger disappeared in a cloud of smoke and ended up back at the Junkyard. At last, Mistoffelees could finally feel things getting back to normal…too bad the same could be said about the two unfortunate toms left behind.

The End

I did it, it's done! So while you can now read this little fic from beginning to end, I'll start work on the next fic, oh yes, my jobs never easy. And if you're wanting to know what happened to Munk, don't worry, he got out of there no problem and Admetus is still forever alone. Until, see you another time!
