Untitled Part I Mungojerrie's Dilemma Mungojerrie woke up, and nuzzled his love, Rumpleteazer, in order towake her. Teazer meowed lightly and rose from her slumber. "Good Mornin'beautiful," He smiled as he watched her stretch. She licked his nose andmade him laugh, "Mornin'." Their mistress's voice could be heard callingthem for breakfast. Afterwards, the two ran towards the library, knockedover a priceless vase and found them being pushed outside. They ran tothe junkyard where they met up with Victoria, Electra, Aphrodite,Demeter and Etcetera. "Hi," they all said in unison. Teazer waved, andwas caught off guard when Victoria pounced on her. "Ello," repeated, andsat down by himself in a small corner of the junkyard. "Are youalright?" the question came from a concerned Demeter. "Yea, I was justthinkin. What if Macavity decides to catnap Teazer to get to me? I couldnever take him, but I couldn't live without her." He studied the floorintensely. Demeter rubbed his neck, "Don't forget that the Jellicleswill always be here for you." Rumpleteazer watched the two talk andthought to herself, Demeter is lucky she has Munkustrap, otherwise I'dmess up that pretty little face of hers for rubbin on my Mungo. Onceagain she was surprised by a pounce from two mischievous kittens. "Demeter, do you know where I could find Mistoffelees? I really need to'ave a talk with him." She pointed to the old ford and laughed as Mungotripped over his tail. "Hey, where you goin?" an inquisitive Teazerasked jumping in front of him. " Sorry luv, I 'ave to talk to Misto." Hekissed her softly and ran to find the magical Mr. Mistoffelees.Rumpleteazer sat down confused about what was bothering Mungojerrie, hehadn't been himself lately. But she was determined to find out why. Mungojerrie found Mistoffelees sleeping with Jemima on his stomach.She looked content and happy, unlike she had been recently. Uh oh, he thought, Aphrodite wouldn't like this. He leaned down and whispered inher ear, "Wake up sweetie." She shot up and stared at Mungo with wideeyes. "Sorry, you scared me." With that she jumped up and went lookingfor Victoria. "Hey Misto, wake up." Mungo stated. Mistoffelees yawnedand stretched. "Hey there Mungo, what's up?" Mungo looked around for a second, "You 'ave the power to sense when Macavity's a common right?" "Yea.... why?" he questioned. "Cause I have a feelin that he's planninto steal Teazer, and I'll do anythin' to protect 'er. Even if it meansmy life." Mistoffelees nodded, he knew that feeling all too well. Mungowalked back to where he last saw Teazer and to his surprise, found shewasn't there. Worries filled his head, as he looked around franticallyfor her. Suddenly, he hit the ground hard as someone pounced on him. Ahigh giggle filled his ears as he saw Teazer rolling on the ground."That wasn't funny Teazer, you really scared me." He said in a seriousvoice. She stuck out her lip and pouted. "I'm sorry luv. I was worriedthat you had been taken by Macavity." He lay next to her and nuzzledher. They both purred, and she laid her head on his paws. He bent downand began to clean her ears, not long after though, she fell asleep.After a while, he laid down in a comfortable position and fell asleep himself. In Macavity's lair, the infamous cat paced back and forth. He wanted Rumpleteazer's secret; the question was how to get it. "Excuse me, sir?"Sharkspaw interrupted. "What?" Macavity snarled. "Sir, the other catswish to know when the next attack will be." Sharkspaw knew it was stupidto ask, but he wanted to know. Macavity glared at his Hench cat, "When Isay the time is right, idiot!" Sharkspaw winced and left quickly.Macavity returned to planning. Rumpleteazer awoke and realized she was trapped under Mungojerrie'shead. "Mungo, wake up..." she whispered in his ear. It was dark, and shewanted to go home. "What is it luv?" he asked only half-awake. "I wantto go 'ome. There's somefin I need to talk to you about." He woke upquickly; having a feeling something was up. He rose from where he layand they returned to Victoria Grove. When they arrived there she staredin his big brown eyes. "Teazer, what's wrong?" Mungo clearly had worryin his voice. "Mungo," she began, "This is 'ard for me to say but...I'm'aving kittens." Mungo's eyes widened, that face was priceless, "Youwhat.... Again?" His shocked face turned into a smile, "That's wonderfulTeazer." The sound of small paws could be heard from behind them."Mummy, Daddy... are you there?" Cinnamon came out from hiding, who wasstill a kitten. "Yes Cim, we're 'ome." He ran over to his mother and hidunder her stomach. She greeted her son and began to clean him. "Mummy,stop it!" Cinnamon complained as he batted her ears. Mungo laughed andlay down. "There's something I need to tell you Cinnamon." Teazer began."You're gonna be a big brother." Cim smiled and jumped in the air,"Really, 'ow?" Mungo stretched and pulled his son down on the floor,"We'll tell you when you're older. Besides, It's bedtime for you."Cinnamon hissed to himself and felt his mother pick him up by the scruffof his neck. She sat him down and Mungo followed. The two lovers nuzzled they're son and fell asleep next to him. The next morning, Rumpleteazer woke up with a groan. Mungojerrieheard her as he was returning from a hunt. "What's wrong?" he askedcuriously. "Nufin." In an effort to calm him, she kissed his cheek. "CanI come with you to the junkyard today?" asked a hopeful Cinnamon. "Isuppose, but after breakfast." He cheered and gobbled down the food thathis dad brought him. Some time later, the three of them headed to thejunkyard. All the cats greeted them, and Teazer went looking for someoneto talk to. She realized now, that last night had been the perfect timeto tell Mungo about her pregnancy, she was beginning to show. She sawDemeter out of the corner of her eye, "Hey there sweetie." Demeter'seyes focused on Teazers' swelling tummy. "Girl, what happened to you?"she asked with an air of concern. "Oh," Teazer began with a giggle, "I'm'aving more kittens, and it's all Mungo's fault. When I told him thenews, you should 'ave seen it. His face was priceless." Demeter laughed,"How far along are you?" Teazer thought for a moment, "Bout two months Ithink. We can't talk bout it too much. Mungo has been real paranoidabout Macavity." Demeter shuddered and the two continued talked notknowing that from the shadows, they were being watched. Sharkspaw hissed and ran to Macavity's lair. "Pardon me sir?" heasked quietly. "What is it now?" the question came from an annoyedMacavity. His voice shot flew through Sharkspaw like a bullet. "Rumpleteazer's kittens are due next month." Sharkspaw grinned showing his crooked, rotting fangs. Laughing Macavity turned to him, "You shallbe richly rewarded for your findings." Macavity's evil voice could makeany cat shudder. Oh no.. not that!!!
Untitled Part II
Jemima: Not as sweet as she may seem.
Some time later, Rumpleteazer's kittens were born. The three of them
were so tiny; she couldn't help but smile at them. The male kitten,
Toby, looked like her father. One of the females, Emerald, was
completely orange with Mungojerrie's black paws. The runt, Shorty, was a
spitting image of Mungo with Teazer's violet eyes. Rumpleteazer was a
proud mother indeed; Cinnamon was a good brother even if he was a little
rough with them at times. "Daddy," he began. " Now that the kittens are
'ere, are you 'an mummy gonna stop lovin me?" Mungo smiled and nudged
his son, "Don't worry, we'll always love you."
Another month later the kittens opened their eyes and ears, and they
wobble a bit when they walked. Mistoffelees couldn't help but smile as
he watched Toby and Emerald play. Shorty always sat on Mungojerrie's lap
not wanting to join in the fun. Mungo would try to play with her, but
she refused. Jemima sat next to Mistoffelees and rubbed her head against
his back. "Jemima, did you ever notice that Shorty never plays with her
brothers and sister?" Misto asked. Jemima nodded her head. "It seems a
little strange to me. She has to be the calmest kitten I've ever seen."
The two of them looked into the kittens eyes; one seemed blank,
unseeing. Mistoffelees suddenly realized that she was blind in her left
eye. "She's blind in her left eye. That must be why she always sits on
Mungo's right side." Jemima felt sorry for the kitten. She approached
Mungojerrie with a grim look on her face. "Mungo, did you know that
Shorty is blind in her left eye?" Mungo looked at his daughter, "No. I
had no clue." Jemima turned back to Mistoffelees, but he was no where to
be found. A scream filled her ears, she spun around fast and found Toby
clawing at Mistoffelees, as Emerald bit and pulled his ears. Everyone
laughed, except Shorty; she hardly smiled and it was almost impossible
to get her to laugh. "What's up kiddo?" Cinnamon sat down next to
Shorty. "Nufin, I just wish I was a normal kitten. No one seems to like
me." She stared at the ground, tears forming in her eyes. She couldn't
make herself look at her brother. "That's not true. I like you. 'Eck
Shorty, I love you you're my sister." She smiled; Cinnamon was usually
the only one who could get a crack out of her. Rumpleteazer approached
her daughter's left side. Shorty let out a loud hiss. Teazer jumped, and
mewed to let her know who it was. "Sorry, mumma. I didn't know who it
was." Shorty put her head down in shame. Teazer kissed her daughter,
"It's ok, I'm proud of you for defending yourself." Shorty hugged her
parents and purred happily.
Macavity's plan was almost ready for action. All he needed was for
Coricopat, Tantomile, and Mistoffelees to leave the junkyard. They would
sense him there, and his plan would be ruined. He wanted those kittens,
Demeter, his best hench cat Mungojerrie, and most of all... he wanted
revenge on Mistoffelees. He would get what he wanted, and any cat that
stood in his way wouldn't be there long.
Jemima sunk low for a long time. She wanted so badly to tell
Mistoffelees how she felt about him; but it seemed that he was never
alone. Then there was her niece, Aphrodite. She was the same age as
Jemima, and was as good a flirt as her mother Bombalurina. Jemima almost
couldn't blame Mistoffelees for wanting to spend time with her. She was
a beautiful female, and he was a male; enough said. What really upset
Jemima though, was the fact that he seemed to like her....a lot. "Hey!"
the high voice belonged to Etcetera. "Hi," Jemima said with little
enthusiasm. Etcetera batted at her tail, "Vic and I are going to the
creek with Mistoffelees, wanna come?" Jemima's ears perked up at the
sound of his name. Time alone with Mistoffelees, perfect. "I'd love to
go." Jemima's additude changed dramatically. The two of them ran to the
junkyard. They found waiting for them Victoria, Electra, and Sootaput.
Behind them, Jemima caught a glimpse of Mistoffelees. She started to run
towards him and stopped when she noticed his companion. He was all over,
guess who, Aphrodite. She wasn't invited! The voice inside Jemima's head
screamed. "He suddenly jumped up on the tire, " You guys wouldn't mind
if Aphrodite came too, would you?" Mistoffelees looked around for
approval. Jemima was just about to object when Sootaput answered for
her, "Sure Misto, the more the merrier." Maybe for you, Jemima thought.
On the way to the creek, Mistoffelees and Aphrodite walked side by
side. Jemima quickly caught up with them and walked on his opposite
side. All she had to do was find a way to pry them apart. She refused to
tell him until they were alone. When they reached their destination,
Aphrodite sat down under the shade of a large tree. She cleaned her paws
and watched Mistoffelees scratch his back on the very same tree. "Hi
Jemima." She called out. "Don't talk to me! I hate you, Aphrodite."
Jemima's words hit her hard. She leaned against the tree and bit back
tears. It wasn't right for her aunt to hate her. "What did I ever do to
you?" Jemima's dirty glance shut her up. Mistoffelees didn't like the
way this day was turning out. He nuzzled Aphrodite and kissed her cheek.
Jemima let out a warning growl as she watched them. Misto stared at her,
unsure of what was upsetting his best friend. "Jemima, what's wrong?"
She refused to answer him, and continued to growl at her niece. He
decided to leave her alone, she was in a mood that he didn't feel like
dealing with. In a good mood, Mistoffelees was also trying to muster up
the courage to tell Aphrodite his true feelings. He motioned for her to
follow him, as to leave Jemima alone. Aphrodite started to follow, but
fell as she felt razor-sharp claws on her arm. Mistoffelees immediately
began to clean her wound. Jemima tried to swipe at her again, but it was
blocked. Mistoffelees felt Jemima's claws across his face, and he
collapsed to the ground. Aphrodite began to clean his face, looked up
for a moment and hissed at Jemima, who hissed back and pounced on her.
Aphrodite didn't want to fight, but she knew that it was inevitable. The
two fought, Aphrodite clawed and bit as best she could, but was no match
for the older female.
Demeter sat on the tire with Munkustrap lying in her lap. She
lovingly played with his tail, purring as loudly as she could, trying to
overpower his own. "I have some good news Munky." She whispered in his
ear. He rolled his eyes at her nickname, but was completely interested
in what she had to say. "What is it Demeter?" She giggled softly just as
a kitten would, "I'm...expecting." She blushed a little at the thought
of what had caused this. Munkustrap was taken aback, totally missing
what she had meant. "Who are you expecting?" Demeter batted at his tail
shaking her head, "Our kittens. You know I've always wanted to be a
mother." Munkustrap couldn't help but smile at her. He couldn't really
remember the last time he had ever seen her so happy. He once again
purred loudly, until Electra ruined the moment by running to them
screaming for help. "What's wrong Electra?" Demeter asked. Electra
panted trying to catch her breath, "Come...to the creek...quickly.
Jemima is...beating...up...Aphrodite." Munkustrap jumped up and raced to
the creek as fast as he could, with Demeter and Electra not far behind.
At the creek, Aphrodite lay on the ground severely beaten. Jemima didn't
look much better either. "Just stop it Jemima," Mistoffelees' soft voice
rang out. Another voice however, silenced the stray cries and growls.
"ENOUGH!" All the cats involved in, or that were watching the fight,
turned to face their leader. Mistoffelees scrambled to Aphrodite. He
gently cleaned her wounds, and rubbed his head on her back. Mistoffelees
did his best not to cry he couldn't stand to see her like this. He
pulled her close to him and repeatedly whispered, "It's ok sweetie."
Munkustrap looked sternly at Jemima, who was cleaning her face in the
creek. "What were you thinking Jemima?" She pulled her face out, and
sniffed softly, "I... I don't know. I wasn't thinking. " Munkustrap
shook his head, "That's the problem Jemima, I can't remember the last
time you did. I'm afraid I must suspend you from the junkyard. Come back
in about a week, and we'll see if you can come back." Jemima bowed her
head, oh boy was she gonna get it. First it would be Demeter, her mother
and finally when there wasn't much left of Jemima, Bombalurina would
have her turn. Mistoffelees flipped the injured Aphrodite on his back
and headed back to the junkyard. Even more to come...
