Shortly after the Jellicle Ball, our leader chose seven cats
to start a new life overseas. I am one of the seven chosen
and I go by Plat. Read our story and see the events unfold.
First beginning with the time after the ball.....

I have an announcement for the tribe. *sees that they are sitting down*
*sits down beside him, looks at her mate*
*sits beside her*
*listens eagerly*
*looks up at her father* Everyone is here.
Within the next two months, seven tribe members will start a new life overseas.
*looks at him surprised, looks at her mate*
*mouths drops*
*looks at Plat, then Tug, confused as ever*
*looks at her father, confused*
*look confused too*
Yes?
Father, who is going overseas? *looks up at him*
The seven cats that are going overseas are.....Fire.....
*looks at her mate, eyes worried*
Tugger.....
*jaw drops, looks at his mate*
Plato.....
* his jaw drops, looks at Jazzi, then at his twin and his sister*
Admetus.....
*wakes up and cries*
Macavity.....
*looks very worried, scared that she will lose her mate*
The other two are queens.....
*lays his paw on him*
*looks up at him*
* holds him tight*
Jasmine.....
* holds him, looks at Jazzi and smiles, then at his sister*
*cries*
*looks at the list, then smiles, looks up again*
*puts his arms around her, is confused but glad that they won't be seperated*
*looks very worried again, feels she is losing her family*
*gets his look, whispers* Mylady, you're going too.
*looks at him, then at her father* Father? I'm going too? *holds Fire's paw real tight*
Yes.
*hugs her mate, looks at her brothers, then up at her father* Can you tell us why? *is worried that he will be lonely without her and without his two co-leaders*
*looks at his friends and his mate, is suprised and shocked*
The reason is explainable. You are going to be living with a family that is just starting out in life. They both are in theatre, love cats, and will be mated soon.
*looks suprised, then at Fire* We won't let them know what we are.
*looks at his sister* Is there more Sir?
I order you not to. You are going to be given as a present by her parents. I will need two adults and five kits at least. Who volunteers as the adults?
*slowly stands up* I'll be one adult. *looks down at Mylady*
*looks at him, smiles, stands up* I'll be the other one. *hides her grin*
That means the rest, including Tug, will be kits.
*starts laughing*
*tries not to laugh, fails* I like it.
*groans, then grins at his friend* You too Mackie.
*growls*
Others, when needed, will be sent over.

Two months to get ready to leave. We spent a month
and two weeks to have lots of fun, knowing we would
never see London again. The last two weeks were spent
packing the things that we know, we could take with us.
Also have our last visit with the only human allowed
to see us as we are, our vet.....

*are busy putting things in boxes at the Manor*
*goes from room to room, starts to pack Plat's trains*
*goes home to the cottage*
*is trying her best to stay calm as six bratty kits scream and run around*
*is looking around to see what he needs to do*
*tries to pack Plat's trains still, keeps getting scared*
*enters the room, sees what is going on* Let me help you love.
*bites her lip desperately* PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! I can't stand *jumps* them anymore!
*nods* Come on kits, let's go outside for awhile and play. *is serious*
*scream as they run downstairs*
*gives his mate a nuzzle* I'll keep them outside for awhile, babe.
*shakes head* Cet can. Plat will be home soon from duty. Stay with me?
*grins* Of course I will stay with you, babe. *holds her in his arms*
*is still tense as she finishes packing Plat's trains*
*smiles, helps her to pack the trains up* Relax babe, you are too tense.
I can't, they made me scared. I just can't relax Lonz.
*goes over to her, starts to rub her shoulders with his paws*
*tenses up more*
*nuzzles her, keeps rubbing her shoulders and her neck*
*slowly relaxes*
*purrs softly, keeps giving her a back rub*
*leans into him*
*purrs louder, rubs the back of her neck again*
*looks up at Tug with a smile*
*smiles, purrs louder, nuzzles her again*
*walks in, slams front door* MY PLATA! I'M 'OME!!!!!!!
*jumps again, is hanging upside down from chandelier in the bedroom scared to death*
*groans* Thanks a lot Plat, you just scared her again.
*keeps hanging there, isn't coming down at all*
*tries to calm her down*
It won't work this time Tug.
*sighs* I know, babe.
I know Plat's on his way up, he'll see me and start laughing.
*grins* Not if I tell him what he did.
Tell him before he sets foot in this room! *still hangs upside down*
*nods* I will. *leaves the room, closes the door* Plat, stay right there.
*goes down to the basement to pack*
Why? *stops*
*goes to his room and packs more things*
*looks at him* Because you just scared the living daylights out of her. She is so tensed up about us leaving.
*starts crying as she hangs there*
*hears her crying*
* hears it too* I should apologize to 'er.
*looks at him* Don't laugh at her either, Plat.
*nods his head* I won't Tug.
*nods his head, opens the door slowly* Babe, can we come in?
Yes.
*both come into the room, looks up at her* I'm sorry my Plata, I didn't mean to scare you.
*luckily the chandelier hangs partly over the bed, slightly swings it and then lets go, falling on her back onto the bed, cries still and loud, hides her head*
*both go over to the bed* Babe?
*kicks Tug away*
*shrugs, tries to put his paw on her* My Plata?
* 'Why did you have to scare me like that?' *
*ducks his head* I didn't mean to.
*uncovers her head and looks at him*
*looks at her*
*still cries* Now I'll never relax.
We will 'elp you, my Plata.
How?
*smiles softly* 'ow was Tug 'elping you to relax?
Rubbing my back.....
*smiles* Well, do you want another back rub?
*shakes head* Won't work.
Then what can we do to 'elp?
*shrugs*
*still looks at 'er* What is bothering you, my Plata?
I'm scared of moving.
*both nod* Everyone is, babe.
*slowly stands up*
*both watch her*
I'm ok. *walks out and downstairs*
MOVERS ARE HERE!!!!!!!!
*jumps again, hangs upside down on Main Hall chandelier*
*starts laughing*
*both wince* I wish he wouldn't yell. Dang gone it, I am going to do something to him. *looks at Plat*
I'll 'elp you. *both leave the room and go downstairs*
*enters through back door, hears Mackie laugh*
*still hangs there as Mackie keeps laughing at her*
*follows him* I wonder what happened?
I don't know. *enters Main Hall*
*runs downstairs* Macavity, thanks a lot. She is already nervous about the move. *glares at him* *follows him* Macavity, what did you do to her?
*keeps laughing* I'm sorry.
*shakes as she hangs there*
*still glares at him* I bet, my friend. *looks up at his mate* Calm down, my Mystline.
Calm down? How can I calm down now!
*sighs, looks at his friend* I know babe, but someone is going to pay for this.
Help me get down, I'll take care of him.
*grins* Alright babe. *helps to get her down*
*holds onto him tighter than anything*
*purrs softly*
*leaves Main Hall*
*goes to CR*
*follows him into the CR*
* heads to his Library*
*start taking packed boxes out, never entering Main Hall*
*sits up, nuzzles back*
*smiles, holds her close to him*
* 'Plat, are you packing your stories?' *
*finishes packing up his Library, 'Just got done, my Plata.' *
*gets up and enters the Library* Need help to carry them out? *sees tears in his eyes*
*nods* Please. *looks around the Library*
*goes over and wraps arms around him tight, tilts head slightly*
*buries his head in her neck*
*does the same with hers, 'Lonz?' *
*enters the Library, 'Yeah love?’ *
* 'Take Plat's story box out to the movers for him please?' *
*smiles, lays his paw on Plat's shoulder* Try not to let your sister feel you right now, Fire told me that she had a real bad nightmare. *picks up the box and leaves the room*
*keeps holding Plat tight* It will be ok, Striker. We'll make another Library for you.
*straightens up* Yes we will, my Plata. *wipes his tears away from his face*
That's better. *goes to find Lon and talks to him*
*stands outside watching the movers*
* heads out of the Library, looks back, then closes the door, looks for his sister and Fire*
*still watches them, gets sad*
*heads outside, lays her paw on his shoulder* I'm sad too Addi, but we will be together.
I 'ope that we can rebuild the Manor.
*fumbles around with Mylady's dollhouse as he exits the CR* Hi Plat.
*smiles softly* So do I Addi. *hugs him* I'm just glad that we are not going to be seperated again from each other*
*nods*
* helps him* 'ow is my Ari?
*keeps holding him, tears form again*
She's ok. *carries dollhouse out*
* holds older sibling close*
*follows him out* That's good. Tug said she had a nightmare.
She did, but I'm not telling.
*purrs softly* We will never be seperated again my twin, I promise you that.
*nods* I don't want to know.
*catches up to Plat and Fire, pulls Plat aside* Striker.....
*looks at her* Yes my Plata?
Tug, I need you here too!
*comes running to her* I'm here beautiful. *joins her*
You saw that dollhouse Fire was holding?
*both nod* Yes we did, why do you ask?
*grins* I had an idea of how that dollhouse can be of use.......
*both look at her* What do you mean? Didn't Fire give that to Salena?
*nods* But it can be of more use to all of us in the new country.
*slowly nods* I get you, we can use the dollhouse as a model on how to rebuild our home here.
*pulls them further away* Not quite Tug, but you're on the right track. We can use the dollhouse itself.
*look more confused* 'ow my Plata?
With Plat's linking and the magic that Mackie taught me, I'm sure it can work.
*grins, looks at the dollhouse, then at her* I think so too, babe, but don't let bossy no what you are planning or Fire either yet. You will know when the time is right to tell them.
*nods* Now hurry, we have to get quarantine shots.
*groans out loud* You had to remind me. *holds onto Plat*
*laughs* Tug, it'll be ok. Come on. *follows others to Vet Walters*
*reluctantly follows her* Dang I hope so, my Mystline.
It will. *goes inside the building and he starts giving shots*
*sits beside Fire, still is a little scared of him*
*gives Fire liquid form of it in cream*
*drinks it*
*both sit beside Jazzi*
*watches him*
*gives shots to all but Tug, prepares needle*
That was good.
*sits beside her mate, rubs her arm* Yeah.
*grins at her, then falls down laughing*
*keeps an eye on him* Why am I always the last one? *looks at his best friend* What's so funny? *keeps rubbing her arm, grins*
*starts heading towards Tug*
I feel kinda funny.
*tail bushes out, thwumps his mane*
Tug, stay calm.....
*smiles* Mylord?
*looks at her* Yeah?
*looks at his mate* How? *fur is standing on end*
Are you ok, my love?
*kisses him hard*
*kisses her back*
Mm-hmm....*stands up and sits down beside her*
*smiles, snuggles against him* That's good love.
*kisses still, smooths his fur down*
*watches Tug*
*turns and watches him too* I never knew he didn't like vets. *softly says*
*slowly starts to relax, is still nervous*
*keeps kissing Tug, smooths fur down more*
*starts to purr*
*gives a slight nod to the vet*
*gives Tug the shot*
*grimaces* You’re sneaky my Mystline.
Now did that hurt?
*shakes his head* No......*trails off, looks at the vet again*
Tug?
Yeah?
You ok?
*nods his head* Yeah I'm ok.
Good. We leave soon to be put on the boat. We stay as cats during the whole trip. Vet Walters will put us in carriers and take us there. Seven crates for seven cats. GET BUSY!
*change to cat form*
*grumbles* I hate that form. *changes*
*changes too, stays close to Fire*
*changes too*
* 'Lonz, don't worry.', enters her crate*
*others enter theirs*
*enters the crate, wishes she could be with Fire*
*both enter their crates*
*vet closes each of them, picks them up one at a time and puts them in his car, takes them down to the boat and hands them over*
*watches out the crate, tears fall, sees her parents hiding close by*
*boatmen take each one and put them on the boat, sets Mackie by Addi, Fire by Mylady, Jazzi between Plat and Tug*
