Macavity's Mistake


I was born into the Jellicle tribe, so I've always concidered them my family. The ones who would protect me and always understand me. I guess I was wrong.
It was about a year after Macavity had captured me and told me his past. I talked to Duetoronomy that Jellicle Ball, and Macavity was acepted as a Jellicle. I'd started to have stronger fealings for him as I saw him more and more over the weeks. He'd come and visit me, he normaly didn't stay long, and since the last Jellicle Ball I had told his past to everyone, they all now enjoyed Macavity's company. Just, maybe not as much as I did.
"Silabub?" I turned around as Macavity's sleek figure stalked into the junkyard.
I wasn't surprised to see that it was around midnight, Mac normaly liked to come visit me at late times. I smiled, he smiled back and walked over to me.
"Sil, when is the Jellicle ball?" He asked, sounding frightened. This struck me as odd.
"Nine and a half months, why?" He smiled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next few months Silabub didn't see Mac at all. So, she went to talk to Jellylorum.
"Jelly?" She said as she walked over. She turned towards Sil.
"Yes Sil?"
Every young kitten in love went to Jellylorum for advice, she and Jennyanydots were like mothers to them.
"Jelly, I haven't seen Macavity in a long time, I'm worried." She smiled and rubbed Sil's head as she sat down next to her.
"Don't worry m'dear, he'll show up. He always does." Sil smiled, and nodded.
"Your right." Silabub turned her head as her kittenhood friends, Victoria, Pouncival, Tumblebrutus, Electra and Ectera bounded into the junkyard, she thanked Jelly again, and ran to meet them.
All of them were now cats, but they still had kittenish qualities.
"Silabub!" Electra said as she ran towards her friend.
"Electra!" Silabub yelled back.
After the six talked for a while, they turned thier heads as Mistoffelees, Coripracat and Tantomile looked towards the junkyard.
"Old Duetoronomy?" Mistoffelees wondered aloud, he turned to the twins.
"I beilive it is Old Duetoronomy." They said at the same time.
"Well of all things, can it be really! Yes! No! Oh hi oh my eye! My mind may be wondering but I confess, I Belive it is Old Duetoronomy!" The six started off.
After a while Duetoronomy was brought into the Junkyard, and Munkustrap started off by singing about 'Cat Morgan.'
The Jellicle ball went by so quickly. Around the time Skimbleshanks came in, Macavity walked into the junkyard, and over to Silabub. She smiled.
When it was time for Silabub's solo, she stood up, and took a deep breath.
"Daylight... see the dew on OH!" She clutched her stomach.
Everyone was now looking at her. Macavity rushed over the car hood, and towards Silabub.
"Silabub, whats wrong!?" Macavity said, and sat her up.
"Oh! Sily!" Jellylorum said as she and Jennyanydots raced towards Silabub.
Macavity looked at them, and stepped back, hoping they knew what was going on. He looked down at the rest of the Jellicles. Electra, Ectera and Victoria were scattered around the bumper of the car. Old Duetoronomy, Munkustrap, Demeter, and Bombalurina were on the tire. RumTumTugger and Cassandra were by the old clock. The other Jellicles were in the center of the junkyard.
Macavity was seated on the car, and couldn't see Silabub all that well.
"Its ok, relax dear." Jellylorum said as Silabub started fussing.
"Deep breaths." Jennyanydots offered.
Down on the tire, Bombalurina was talking with Duetoronomy, Munkustrap and Demeter.
Munkustrap's jaw fell open.
"Kittens?!" He gasped.
Electra, Ecetera and Victoria all gasped, and started talking about names.
The toms looked at each other.And RumTumTugger laughed.
Macavity looked at Silabub, who was still hidden.
"Push dearie, push!" Jellylorum said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In two hours, the Jellicle ball was over, and the Junkyard was quiet. Jennanydots and Jellylorum were talking about Gus being sent to the HeavisideLair.
Alonzo and all the other young toms were sitting/laying by the pipe.
RumTumTugger was still by the old clock, still with Cassandra, but now Exotica had climbed up with them and had her tail and hind legs dangling over the edge.
Munkustrap, Demeter and Bombalurina had fallen asleep on the tire, Duetoronomy was looking pretty tired too.
Everyone else was scattered around the junkyard.
Silabub, Macavity and five kittens were inside the car's hood.
