Part 3

Mistoffelees lifted Macavity's head and put the bowl to his lips. She tilted it and he drank it. She laid his head back down and sighed. She felt his forehead only to find it hot. The magical queen took Macavity's paw in hers and squeezed it.

Outside, Tugger, Gypsie, Jadadaye, and MistoLusion were dancing their hearts out. The Tribe watched them move gracefully about the Junkyard. Bombalurina and her kittens were amazed that Tugger could dance as if he was on air. Jadadaye was dancing and playing an instrument similar to the flute. MistoLusion had bells and a round instrument with silver that made a beautiful sound when it moved. Gypsie and Tugger didn't have instruments, really. They had tied bells to their ankles that were attached to leather that jingled as they moved. The Tribe clapped to the rhythm of the music. They enjoyed the joyous dancing very much. As the dance ended, Tugger pulled his mate out with him to dance. Bombalurina tried to protest, but soon she was dancing with them.

When they finished their Gypsy dance, Bombalurina stumbled to the car, gasping for air. Gypsie and Tugger were ready to collapse. Jadadaye and MistoLusion fell over with exhaustion. Tugger had his paws on his hips with a big smile across his face. Gypsie fanned himself. Tugger shook his head and chuckled. "I haven't danced that since I was a kit. It keeps me in shape, though." Bombrina, one of Tugger's kittens, tugged on her father's paw. "Daddy, who are they? Why are you dancing with them? Who are the other kittens? Who is she? Who was the black and white girl with the striped tom?" Tugger laughed. He introduced his friends to the Tribe.

"Gypsie is my real brother, and Munkustrap is my half brother. Jadadaye is one of my Gypsy friends when I was a Gypsy. MistoLusion is Gypsie's sister. We are not related in any way. I am a Gypsy, but I'm just not in the Gypsy Tribe. Mistoffelees is also a Gypsy. Get it?" The Jellicles were confused. Rumpelteazer did a double take. "Wot do ya mean, MistoLusion isn't ya sis? If she es Gypsie's sis, an' Gyp is your brotha, then ow can Misto not be related to ya?" Tugger shrugged. Mistoffelees appeared from the oven. Tugger and the rest of the cats looked over in her direction. The magic cat smiled faintly.

"The Perdicodea is helping him. We just made it in time. If we had arrived any later, Macavity would be dead." Tugger sighed in relief. "May the Everlasting Cat bless you." Then he took his daughter's paw and led her to Mistoffelees and her mate. Munkustrap looked down at the little kitten. Bombrina hid behind her father's leg. Mistoffelees made a cute noise. Tugger told his daughter, "This is your Aunt Mistoffelees and your Uncle Munkustrap." Bombrina peeked out from where she was hiding and looked up at the two. "Aunt Mist…Misto…Mist…"

"Mistoffelees, dear," Mistoffelees said. Bombrina smiled. "Aunt Mistoffelees and Uncle Munkustrap." Munkustrap smiled. Tugger smiled proudly. All four of his kittens looked at the new adults in wonder.

Mistoffelees sat at Macavity's side, holding his warm paw. Macavity was still in the deep coma that was threatening his life. She listened to his breathing, hoping that it would return to normal. She gently squeezed his paw and whispered, "Macavity." Mistoffelees sighed. As she pushed back some of the Hidden Paw's hair, Macavity slowly awoke. Mistoffelees was overjoyed. Macavity looked up at the magical queen questionably. The black and white female smiled. "Oh, thank the Everlasting Cat that you're allright."

Macavity was a little confused. "What?" Mistoffelees rubbed his paw. "You were very sick. You were in a deep coma, Macavity. Everyone's been so worried." Macavity smiled weakly. "We thought that you were gonna die," Mistoffelees continued. "It's a miracle that you're alive."

One month later, Macavity fully recovered from his illness and regained his strength. When he stepped out from the oven one morning, eleven kittens came running towards him, knocking the ginger over. Tugger and Bombalurina's kittens liked the Mystery Cat and the other kittens. It turned out that Macavity was also a Gypsy with Gypsie, MistoLusion, Jadadaye, Mistoffelees, and Tugger. The three Gypsies from the Ywope Forest were welcomed into the Jellicle Tribe with open paws. The Tribe loved to listen to Munkustrap and Mistoffelees' journey. They liked it when all five, er, six of the Gypsies danced the night away with their beautiful music. It was amazing at how graceful they were. Even some kittens tried to dance with them, but the Gypsies were too fast. The night when Macavity was better, the Gypsies did the same little dance that Tugger and Gypsie did when they reunited. The cats thought that it was a miracle that Macavity healed. They even ate some of the animals from the Enchanted Forests that the Gypsies hunted.

The Jellicle Cats celebrated their future leader's return and the Mystery Cat's health with much dancing and merriment.

Calamity's Meows: Did ya like it?? I hope so. Just to let you know,
Gypsie, MistoLusion, and Jadadaye are not my characters. And they won't be in all my fanfics. Please do not use them in your fanfics without
contacting Jadadaye or myself to ask. The kitties who are these cats are my friends and they rule cuz they let me use them in my fanfics. THANKEES, GUYS! Sophgania, just in case you're wondering, means 'doughnut' in Hebrew.
