"...and call him by his name!"

" Hey Jerrie, so you smell that?" Rumpleteazer asked
her brother. Mungojerrie lifted his nose to find a 
delicious smell!
" Mmmm, whot is that Teaza?" he asked. They both had
cockney accents (Just keep that in mind, I will not
write out how they say every word!)
" I dunno, let's go see!" The two cats followed the
scent to house not too far from the junkyard.
The house was mostly black, with circle windows and a
flat roof! I was very weird indeed, but whoever lived
there, sure knew how to get a cats's mouth watering!
Rumpleteazer noticed that the house had a porch, and 
on that porch was plate with Straussburg pie!
" Jerrie look!" Teazer said as she pointed to the pie!
" Straussburg, my favorite!" he exclaimed as teh two
raced up to the porch! But they weren't the only ones
who smelled the pie.
Mungojerrie could see two little black ears sticking
up from the other side of the dish!
They stopped short and looked at each other.
" Uh, hello?" Jerrie asked. Hearing there was someone 
else there, Mistoffolees jerked up to see his friends.
" Misto?!" Teazer asked, rather surprised.
" Yup, it's me!" he said cheerfully, licking his lips.
" Mistoffolees, where'd you get the pie?" Jerrie asked.
" Oh, the nice lady inside gave it to me!" Misto 
replied.
Just then a short lady, a bit rolly-polly, stepped out
to the little black cat.
" Oh, did your friends come to have some pie?" The
lady asked the little cat. Mistoffolees started
meowing, Teazer and Jerrie started rubbing up her legs.
" All right, all right, c'mon in y'all, there's plenty
where that came from!"
The lady lead the three cats inside, the smell of 
wonderful food rose from the kitchen!
" Smells good!" Mungojerrie announced.
The lady emmerged from the kitchen and placed three
plates in front of them. Each one was different, and
each was the cat's favorite dish! How'd she know that? 
Misto asked himself.
When the cats were done, the lady took the plates away.
" We can't stay here much longer, we have to get ready
for the Jellicle ball!" Mungojerrie reminded his
friends.
" Awe, c'mon Jer, we 'ave a week!" Teazer replied
licking her lips.
Mistoffolees noticed that on the refridgerator, there 
was a calendar, and a date was circled in red. It was
the same day as the Jellicle ball! That's funny, maybe
it's just a coinsidence. But of course, if it was,
that entire paragraph, and the whole purpose of this
story would be useless! Not to mention boring and
confusing!
The lady started to stroke the cats one by one.
" Now, I wonder if you guys have names..." " Three of
them atcually!" Mungojerrie said. Misto and Teazer
laughed! She started to pet Teazer. The lady had long
hair, and teazer started batting at it! The lady
laughed.
" Youre such a teaze! Maybe that's what I should call
you: Teaze!" " I would much easia to keep track of my
names that way!" she said as she batted her hair 
again! She put her down and pet Mungojerrie.
He rolled on his back and let her rub his tummy.
" You remind me of my very first pet, a policle...I 
mean a dog...heh heh! His name was Jerrie, after my
son! Maybe I should call you Jerrie!"
Misto was following a weird and uncomfortable pattern
delveloping here! How does she know all these things?
He asked himself.
She started to pet the little adorable black cat!
Suddenly Misto heard the words of Old Deutoronomy's Ad-
dressing of cats: " a little token of esteem, is 
needed like a dish of cream..."
He looked around, but Old D wasn't there! Who's
singing that? he wondered. The song continuned:
"...and call him by his name.....Mistoffolees!"
It was the lady!
Somehow the lady knew the Ad-dressing of cats, she
knew their Jellicle names! But how?
Misto jumped down from the arms of the lady, he turned
to her, and suddenly he knew how, she had somehow
inheritad the Jellicle terpsichorean powers!
The circled date, she was going too, but why? Misto
turned to his friends, they knew too.
Mistoffolees conjured up a little spell that would
allow him to speak to the lady.
" Excuse me ma'am? Don't think me rude, but you know
the terpsichorean powers, but how, and why?"
The lady didn't seem at all stunned at the fact there
was a strange black cat talking to her!
" Why, because I've known about the Jellicle cats for
a long time! Everyone thinks I'm crazy, but for once
I'm going to prove them worng, by being the first
human to go to the Jellicle ball! And you three are
going to help me!"
Mistofolees gasped.
" No, we can't!"
" C'mon guys let's get out of here!" Teazer pleaded.
" We have to stop her from finding out anymore
Jellicle secrets!" Misto replied. He saw into the
terpsichorean powers, and reveresed it, then took them
away.
" No stop that, give them back!" The lady pleaded!
" No, it's over!" Mistoffolees meowed.
She never knew what he said.
