Jellicle Problems By: Krust-off
	Mistoffelees walked lightly to the Junk Yard. He had been in such a good mood when he woke up. Unfortunatly, his pets had not yet awoken, and he didn't get his morning treat. Even so, he knew he'd get one, maybe more, so he left. As he entered the junk Yard he saw Alonzo and Pouncival practicing fighting moves. "Hey Misto." Alonzo said as he and Pounc took a break. "Hey, Alonzo, Pounc." "Hi Misto." they all greated one another and started chatting away when they heard Jellylorum calling them. "Have any of you seen Victoria?" all three toms shook thier heads and Jellylorum nodded and hurried off. "I wonder what that was bout." Pounc said. "I hope nothing's wrong." Mistoff added. "You would." Alonzo laughed causing the magician to turn as bright red as his blanket. Alonzo and Pounc were soon rolling on the ground laughing as Mistoffelees slipped away. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Munkustrap slowly made his way to the tire wiht his head down and tail dragging. Tugger noticed this and decided to find out who had died. "Hey Mista!" Tugger said as he jumped down from his perch and stood next to Munkustrap. "Hey Tugger." Munk said in a gloomy voice. "So, what happened?" Tugger asked. "What? How do you know somethings happened?" "It's kinda obvious." "Oh, well, my pets left me behind." Munk said his head dropping once more. "Just left you?!?" Tugger exclaimed. Munk nodded. "They had everything packed, and set me outside as they left.........a month ago." Tugger was shocked. "Why didn't you do anything?" "What could I do?" Munk said as he fought back tears. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Hey Viki!" Jeminia called as she pounced on the all white cat. "Umph! Nice...to...see....y-you..too.." Victoria wheezed. Jeminia laughed and helped her friend up. "You always know how to take my breath away!" Victoria said sarcastically. "Oh! I almost forgot! Jelly's looking for you!" Jeminia said as the thought hit her. Victoria looked surprised, she wasn't in trouble was she? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mistoffelees wandered about the Junk Yard aimlessly, his mind was in his own little world until he ran righ in to Victoria, both falling to the ground. "Second time today." Victoria muttered to herself. "Victoria! I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking at where I was going, and...." Mistoffelees said apologizes as he helped her up. "It's alright. Jem said that that Mom was looking for me?" Mistoffelees nodded. "I think I last saw her at the car." Victoria said her thanks and began to head towards the car. "Are you sure you're alright?" Mistoffelees called. Victoria turned and continued to walk backwards as she waved to him. "Yeah, I'm fine! Dont' worry, I'll see you--" Victoria ran into someone only to turn and find her mommy looking down at her. Victoria forced a smile, though her mother did not. "Uh-oh..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Munkustrap looked to the sky and frowned. "Just what I need today!" he grumbled as the first few drops spattered the ground. Munkustrap watched as the cats scattered for shelter and decided he should do the same, but as he was about to leave he heard soemone calling his name. He turned to find Coricopat and Tantomile walking up to him. "Yes?" Coricopat looked at his sister then back at Munkustrap. "We had a vision." Corico started. "Macavity's mate is giving birth." Tantomile finished. Munkustrap's eyes widened. "Wonderful! Just what we need is four Macavitys runing around! We've had enough with one!" Munkustrap yelled and put his head in his paws. "Go find shelter, Cricopat, Tantomile, thank you." Munkustrap said quietly as he motioned for them to go. They nodded and walked off. Munkustrap shook his head and was about to follow when he heard his name being called again. When he turned Mistoffelees was running up to him. "Munk...Macavity...." Mistoffelees started out of breath. "Yeah, I've heard." Munkustrap replied starting to walk off. "You have?" Mistoffelees said as he ran up next to friend. "Corico and..." "They told you how many?" Munkustrap stopped and looked at the magical cat. "How many?" Munkstrap asked as he silently prayed to the Heaviside that it was one or two. Mistoffelees gulped. "Eight." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Munkustrap and Mistoffelees walked side by side as they made theire way to Mistoffelees's house. Munkustrap was so very gald that his friend offered to have him stay with him. Jumping through the window and landing softly on the back of a chair, the two cats dragged themselves to a corner which held a basket, some string, toys, and a blanket. Munkustrap started to curl up on the floor, but Mistoffelees insisted that his sleep in his basket. "How do you know that I can stay?" Munkustrap asked between yawns (it had been a long day.). "He loves cats, once one walks in, he can't refuse." Mistoffelees answered as he rolled around on his favorite blanket. Munkustrap nodded but a ping of sadness ran through him, he missed his home. "That's the spot." Mistoffelees said as he started to settle in. Munk grinned by quickly frowned when he remebered the days events. "Macavity has kittens.....eight...wonderful..." he muttered to himself. "Hey Munk," Mistoffelees said, "look at the positive side, at least you have a home." Munkustrap couldn't but smile at the wisdom of the small and innocent Jellicle. 'I just hope tomorrow is better than today.' Munkustrap thought to himself.
