I’m Mungojerrie (you probably figured that out from the title). My mate and best friend Rumpleteazer stole this from some rich person for me. I really appreciate the thought, Rumple, but I hope that no one finds out that I’m keeping a diary!
Today we spent at Victoria Grove. We did the usual. Broke a couple of Ming vases, almost got our humans pet bird, made a mess of the living room, went to the junkyard, the usual. I think that our humans are getting fed up with us. I wonder if they’ll get rid of us?

Today was fun! The humans, they got another bird……and a fish tank! Rumple and I decided to go on our own fishing trip. We managed to get one, but then our humans caught us and threw us outside. Why they do that, I have no c lue. So we spent the rest of the day at the junkyard. Pouncival was scribbling in his own journal. I was surprised. I wasn’t the only one! And Pounce made it public! I also saw Jemima and Demeter writing in their own diary. I think that Misto might have one too, because I saw Tugger and Tumblebrutus fooling with something small, electronic, and expensive. I think that Bustopher Jones, BJ for short, gave Misto that. It was boring at the junkyard. Oh, well. Maybe it will be more exciting tomorrow.
Mungojerrie
6/3/1999
It WAS more exciting at the junkyard today! BJ came by, with two lollipops that he wanted to give Mistoffelees (why, I don't really know). He got all mad and worried when he saw that Misto wasn’t there. BJ went nearly into hysterics! It was funny, once you think about it. He ended up giving Pouncival and Tumblebrutus the lollipops. But here’s the best part of the day. Rumple managed to snag Bustopher’s spoon! But we made a little, little mistake. We, ah, gave the spoon to Pouncival. He spent the rest of the day bopping everyone on the head with his lollipop hanging out of his mouth. Then Jenny got all mad, because she saw Rumple take the spoon. Jenny told Munkustrap, and she nearly went into hysterics, too! She was turnin’ as red as Macavity! We told Munku that we didn’t have the spoon, which was true. Then HE got all mad because he thought we were lying! But we weren’t, so as soon as we told him that, we high-tailed it out of there.
Mungojerrie
6/4/1999
No fair! Munku sentenced us to one day in our lair! And we can’t come out! How are we supposed to do our work, if we can’t leave the junkyard? Answer me that! But, Rumple and I managed to sneak out (whew, what a relief). Then we did what we do best: steal. We scared a few Pollicles and Pekes, stole a few jewels from some neighborhood, and then we did what else we do best: break Ming vases. The humans got more (I don’t know how they keep doing that), and then we broke them! Of course, they got mad, la-de-da. So they threw us out of the house again. They must get tired of doing that.
Mungojerrie
6/5/1999
Let’s see, what happened today? Oh yeah! I don’t know what happened today! I was sleeping the whole time! So I don’t have anything to write about. Oh, darn.
Mungojerrie
6/6/1999
BJ came back to the junkyard again. It was even funnier this time! He brought another lollipop (don’t ask me why), and he and Jenny were having a screaming contest (or at least that’s what it sounded like). Jenny was yelling something like, “You can’t spoil Misto because you’re his uncle!” And BJ was screaming back, “Uncles are supposed to spoil their nephews.” Then Jenny got even more angry, and said, “THAT’S GRANDFATHERS, YOU DOPE! GRANDFATHERS ARE SUPPOSED TO SPOIL THEIR GRANDCHILDREN!” And then I fell behind the car trunk because I was laughing too hard (I think BJ gave the lollipop to Tumblebrutus). Oh, and I think Bustopher forgot about his spoon. Pouncival still hasn’t given it back to him.
Mungojerrie
6/7/1999
For some reason, Bustopher came back again today, and had a lollipop the size of England itself! The sucker was bigger than he was! And that’s really, really big. And guess what. Misto was actually there, so BJ actually gave the lollipop to him. I don’t know how Mistoffelees is going to eat all that. Maybe he’ll let me have a bite (or two, or three, or four).
After that, Rumple and I went back to Victoria Grove. There, we found that our humans actually didn’t have another Ming vase (gasp)! I think we broke all the Ming vases in the world. I’m so proud of myself and Rumple! We should get an award.
Since there was really nothing to do at Victoria Grove, Rumple and I went down to the river. We had a little water fight (okay, so it wasn’t exactly little. We came back soaking wet), and then play-fought. By the time we were done, it was nighttime. The moon was shining bright. Soooo, I gathered my courage and turned to Rumple. She looked beautiful, with the moonlight shining on her. I know, I know. I’m getting all mushy. I said to her, “Rumple?” She turned to me, and looked at me with those big brown eyes. “Yes?” she asked. “I…I think you look beautiful,” I stumbled out. “Really?” Rumple said, her eyes lighting up. “Really,” I replied. I leaned over and nuzzled her affectionately. She looked surprised. Then she grinned, and nuzzled back. So we stayed there all night.
Mungojerrie
6/8/1999
Today I was in a daze. I had actually told Rumple that she looked beautiful. I actually did it. Now the next step was to tell her I loved her. How the heck was I going to do that? During that daze today, Tugger decided to ask me what was going on. “What’s going on?” he asked me. ‘Nothing,” I told him. He raised an eyebrow. “I know that look. I’ve seen Toms that looked like that when they were in love. You’re in love,” Tugger said. “No, I’m not,” I answered. “Oh, come on lover boy. Who’s the lucky Queen?” he urged. I shook my head and smiled. “Please? Please tell,” Tugger whined. He got down on his knees and put his front paws in the air. “Look. I’m begging. How often do you see me doing this?” he asked. “Not often,” I admitted. “Please?” Tugger whined again. “Fine,” I said. “But you have to swear that you won’t tell anyone.” Tugger nodded. “I swear,” he said solemnly. I leaned over to his ear and whispered, “Rumpleteazer.” I felt like I had just made the worst mistake in my life. You know why? Because Tugger started hooting and laughing. “Shut up,” I hissed. He kept on laughing. “Shut up,” I said. “Alright, alright,” Tugger said, wiping a tear from his eye. Then he burst out laughing again. Then he stopped. “I think you got a pretty good chance with her,” he said. “Why?” I asked. “Look over there,” he said mischievously. Tugger pointed a paw in Rumpleteazer’s direction. She was looking at me, and when Tugger pointed, she quickly looked away. “See?” he said. I felt like leaping into the air. I felt like I was floating a hundred thousand million feet over the ground. I was in heaven.

Today was really cool. Rumple was acting really nice and affectionate. I like this. A new cat came to the junkyard. She looked sorta familiar. I wondered where I had seen her. But, she seemed very nice and very friendly. Rumple and I talked to her for a minute. She was very attractive, and her eyes were a very deep and sparkling blue. Kinda like Rumple’s green, but not close by a mile. Her name was Saphinora. I offered to swipe her a candy bar. She laughed at that. “I’ll think about it,” Saphinora said, her eyes twinkling. After that, Rumple looked at me. “What do you think of her?” she said. “I think she’s very nice and pretty,” I said after a thought. Rumple looked surprised. “But not as beautiful as you,” I said teasingly. Rumple smiled at that. “Come on,” she said. “I want to show you something.” She dragged me off by the collar to somewhere that I can’t tell anyone about. We had the greatest time. My head was in the clouds the whole time. Tugger was right. About me having a chance with Rumple. He was certainly right.
Mungojerrie
6/10/1999
I gave Saphinora a piece of that candy I had offered her. Skimble had given it to me, so I gave it to Saphinora. She seemed to really like it. I think the chocolate came from Spain or something. She also got…get this…a lollipop from BJ! He seems to have a million of those things! And this one was almost as big as Misto’s! And I don’t think that that is possible. I wonder where BJ gets all of them. Pouncival and Tumblebrutus have been bugging me to steal one of them. They seem obsessed with lollipops. You know, I wonder about those two.
Rumple was in an even better mood than she was yesterday. She suggested that we go to Victoria Grove and bash and crash some things. I agreed, so in the afternoon we left the junkyard and went home. We found that our humans had gotten tons and tons of new things. It was great! They had a few expensive looking lamps. But not anymore. The humans also got more fish for the tank. But they put a screen over the top (so to keep the fish in, they say, but I think it’s to keep the cats out). So scratch the idea of having fish for dinner. Surprisingly, they got more Ming vases. And they had cases over them. We took care of that. Case gone, Vase on the floor. Rumple and I had the time of our lives. The humans got all angry, and kept yelling at us. After a while, we went back to the junkyard. Everyone was either sleeping or not there. Pouncival and Tumblebrutus were doing what they always do before they go to bed: jump on their mattresses. Rumple and I went to our hideout and went to sleep.

6/11/1999
Misto wasn’t at the junkyard today, so Munku sent me to his home. I think Munku was really mad. Misto was supposed to give Saphinora her initiation test today. When I got there, I saw Misto on the second floor of the mansion. I climbed up on the roof. While I was climbing I peeked in one window. Oh, man! You should’ve seen some of the stuff they have in there! It would be jackpot day for Rumple and me if we stole some of that stuff. BIG jackpot day. When I was up on the roof, I saw Misto sitting in one of the rooms on the end of the house. This was getting more complicated as I went. So I carefully walked to the other end. “Misto!” I said. “Open the window!” Luckily, he saw me and opened the window. “What are you doing?” Misto asked me. “Why aren’t you at the junkyard?” I asked. “I was away from my humans for four or five days and they got worried that I would run away, so they won’t let me out of their sight,” he replied. “Why?” I sighed. “Victoria and Saphinora are going crazy without you,” I told him. “I’ll tell them what you told me.” I jumped out of the window and once again walked to the other side. I climbed down and longingly looked at the jewels in one of the rooms. No, I told myself. This is Misto’s home, so I can’t do it. But that doesn’t mean that I can’t do it to the other houses! I brightened at that thought. I walked back to the junkyard. Victoria was pacing in front of the tire like a caged animal, with Saphinora sitting next to her. “Well?” Victoria demanded. “He can’t come today. His humans won’t let him go, because he was gone for four days and they’re worried that he’ll run away.” ‘But he was supposed to give me my initiation test today,” Saphinora said, worry c lear in her voice. “Oh,” I said. I thought for a minute. “I’ll tell him.” Saphinora looked relieved. “Please do that,” she said. “Munkustrap is REALLY steamed.” I nodded, then started back. I climbed up to Misto’s room again. I walked in the open window. “Now what?” Misto said. “Munkustrap’s really mad,” I told him. “You were suppose to give Saphinora her initiation test today.” “Well, go tell him that I can’t do it today,” he said. “Tell him what I told you.” I grinned and nodded. I leaped out the window. But I leaped too hard. “AHHHH!” I screamed. I had overshot the roof. I was falling to the ground. I braced myself, and I landed on the ground. Hard. “Mungo!” I heard Misto shout. “Yeah?” I asked. “You okay?” he asked, sounding worried. “I’m fine,” I called up. “Never felt better.” He laughed. “Yeah, right,” Mistoffelees said. He went back in his room. I started back to the junkyard. When I got there, Munkustrap was pacing in front of tire like Victoria had been doing. “What?” he asked. “He can’t do it today,” I told him. “He’s stuck in his home. The humans are worried that he’ll run away.” Munku relaxed. “Go tell him,” he instructed. I saluted to him. Then I went back to Misto’s home for the third time. When I got there, I didn’t even bother climbing the roof. I threw some rocks at the window. The window opened, and Misto popped his head out. “What now?” he asked, sounding exasperated. ‘Munku said that it’s okay,” I shouted. “I also want to say hi, because I didn’t get a chance.” Misto grinned. “Okay, you said hi, so go now!” he called down. “Gotcha,” I called and headed for Victoria Grove and Rumpleteazer.

Today Rumple and I mainly stayed at Victoria Grove. She told me that she managed to figure out how to get the cover off the fish tank. So we went fishing. We caught three this time, and then the humans caught us and yelled at us (doesn’t this sound familiar?). After that Rumple and I went upstairs, and shredded a few blankets. The humans yelled at us again. When they were done, we went outside and found there were a few fancy lawn ornaments in the yard. Rumple went after the gnomes while I went after the flamingoes. I had the time of my life. I went to the master bedroom and dragged the mistress’s jewelry box down. I put a diamond necklace around one of the flamingoes and a pair of diamond earrings. On the other one I put a million bracelets down its neck. Then I got an idea. I handed the jewelry box to Rumple and shot back in the house. I went back to the master bedroom and grabbed a few hats. I ran back outside and put one on one of the flamingoes. It looked so ridiculous! Rumple was laughing and rolling on the ground. I soon joined her after she finished with the gnomes. We stayed outside till dark. When we went inside, we waited for ten minutes. After ten minutes were up, we heard the master human yelling. I think he saw the flamingoes and gnomes.

When I went to the junkyard, it was deserted except for Tugger and Mistoffelees. And Misto had this pink bow around his neck. I was just in time to hear Tugger yell, “You look great in PINK, Misto!” I was covering my smirks and laughter with my paw by then. And when Tugger pulled it off Misto and threw it over his shoulder, it hit Bombalurina! She stared at it, and burst out laughing. Tugger was turning red in the face, and Misto was laughing too. After that, I went to Victoria Grove and slept all day.

6/14/1999
Today Saphinora moved into her new lair, the stove. As a housewarming gift, I gave her this Victorian mirror that I stole from the mistress. Saphinora seemed to love it. Rumple gave her a 3-D poster. She stole that from one of the human children. Saphinora like that too (personally, I liked my gift better). I found that Pouncival seemed to be gone all day. Demeter seemed to be happy about that. I think there’s this little thing going between them.
Mungojerrie
6/15/1999
Demeter got Pouncival really, really bad today. I won’t go into detail. This entry would be too long.
Speaking of Pouncival, I saw him today with Jemima and this other cat. She seemed familiar, but I don’t know how. Call me crazy, but I think that she used to work for Macavity. I watched them for a little. They were in Jennyanydots’ book pile, and it seemed like they were having a great time. Pouncival was reading too! This was a HUGE shock to me. I didn’t even know that he could read!
I slept the rest of the day.
Mungojerrie
6/16/1999
Nothing happened.
Mungojerrie
6/17/1999
Pouncival is steamed again! Demeter did something again. I’m not sure what, but the buzz I heard around the Queens was that the new cat that nobody knew about used to work for Macavity. Rumpleteazer told me a little about it. She said that Demeter followed Pouncival into the alley, and saw him talking to the new cat, named Jequenia. Demeter sensed an evil aura around her, like Macavity’s. Spooky, huh? I wonder what will happen when Munkustrap finds out?
Mungojerrie
6/18/1999
Saphinora wasn’t at the junkyard today. Rumpleteazer was worried that something happened to her, but I told her that Saph’s family was probably just being overprotective like humans are to their kids. But I’m getting worried too. I mean, Mistoffelees is gonna be taken off of the assignment if Saphinora doesn’t turn up soon. That, or Saphinora's not going to be a Jellicle. Yikes.
Well, what else happened? Oh. Nothing, really. The old news about Jequenia working for Macavity hasn’t reached Munkustrap yet (thank God, because he would be boiling if he heard about it and Jequenia wouldn’t have a chance).
Mungojerrie
6/19/1999
Munkustrap blew his top. Uh-oh. Saphinora is no longer able to be a Jellicle. Uh-oh. She was banished from the junkyard, because she didn’t take her initiation test. Uh-oh. I remember how important those were. I almost missed mine too, when I was becoming a Jellicle. Uh-oh. But that Uh-oh is in the past. Rumpleteazer got really worried when she saw Saph run out of the junkyard like a whole pack of Pollicles were right behind her. I think Mistoffelees said something to her. So, I decided to talk to him but never did.
I saw Demeter today, and she had this dangerous glint in her eye like she was going to do something nasty. I said 4 times, and I say it again. Uh-oh. Let’s hope she doesn’t make another Uh-oh.
Mungojerrie
6/20/1999
Demeter did it. She actually did it. She told Munkustrap that Jequenia had worked for Macavity. NOW he’s really angry. Uh-oh. I think that he’s working up this plan to get Jequenia out of here. Personally, I think he’s crazy. From what I heard when I was…ah…working with Macavity that Jequenia ran away from the warehouse. Macavity could be heard at night planning about how he could kill her. It was scary. I never heard him so worked up about getting a spy back. I thought, and still think, that Jequenia was very, VERY brave to runaway from Macavity. And she was only about 6 months old at the time. So I decided to talk to Munkustrap. But would he listen? Nope. He had that glint in his eyes that Demeter had yesterday. But I had hope. Pouncival and Jemima weren’t at the junkyard. I didn’t tell Munku, or he might banish Pounce and Jemima too. I hope they hid Jequenia well enough.
Mungojerrie
6/21/1999
We didn’t find Jequenia today. Let me explain. Munkustrap had this search party out on the streets. I was part of it too. I knew exactly where Jequenia was, but I didn’t say anything. We didn’t find her (which was good). Pouncival and Jemima seemed to relax a little when we came back with no Jequenia. But somehow Demeter knew that I knew something that had to do with Jequenia. She asked me where the “little rat” was. I shrugged and told her I didn’t know. But noooo, Demeter wouldn’t take that for an answer. I kept telling her no. FINALLY she left me alone.
When that was over, I went to Victoria Grove. Rumple was there. She didn’t come for the searching. “You know where she is, don’t you?” Rumple asked me quietly. “Yes,” I nodded. “I think that’s really, really nice that you don’t tell Munku where she is,” she told me. She nuzzled me affectionately. I returned the nuzzle. And it goes on, and on, and on, and on.
Mungojerrie
6/22/1999
Today was boring. Nothing much happened, except that Rumpleteazer and some others are going to visit Saphinora tomorrow. She promised to tell me about it.
Mungojerrie
6/23/1999
Rumple, Victoria, Demeter, and Misto went to visit Saphinora. Nothing happened except for that.
Mungojerrie
6/24/1999
Everyone’s happy! You know why? Saphinora is a Jellicle now! This whole mess, her being banished, was her initiation test! Do you get it? I don’t. Oh well. At least Saph’s a Jellicle!

6/25/1999
I was playing Poker today with Tumble and Alonzo. It was fun! I actually won a few times. But the stuff we were betting on was junk. Tumble had broken pens and pencils. He kept betting those, while Alonzo bet buttons. I bet chunks of Ming vases. Mistoffelees saw us playing and wanted to play, too. “No way!” Tumble shouted. “Last time I played with him he kept using his powers to win!” “The only reason I kept winning is because I’m better at cards than you are,” Misto said. “You can play,” I told him. “But you can’t use your stupid powers!” Tumble said. And you know what? Misto kept winning, and winning, and winning. I don’t get how he can do that. That was my best Ming vase that I was betting. Sniff. Now I lost it. “He was using his powers,” Alonzo muttered. “Yup,” Tumblebrutus agreed. They walked off. “You didn’t use your powers, did you?” I asked Misto. “Nope,” he shook his head. He bent down and collected his loot. I laughed. You could hardly see Mistoffelees behind all that junk. Oh well. Maybe I’ll have better luck next time.
Mungojerrie
6/26/1999
Today I went to talk to Munkustrap with Demeter about Jequenia. Actually, Demeter literally dragged me along. I guess she wanted someone to be with her. Why me, I do not know. But I think that the talk worked. Munku was seeing the light. Good for him. So he went to think for a while. I sure hope this insane idea worked.
Mungojerrie
6/27/1999
Demeter and I went to talk to Munku again. And guess what? Guess! Guess! Okay, I’ll tell you. Jequenia’s gonna be a Jellicle! (whispering) But don’t tell anyone. No one else is suppose to know.
Mungojerrie
6/28/1999
Boring. Boring. Boring.
Mungojerrie
6/29/1999
Well, Jequenia is now officially a Jellicle! Pouncival seems WAY too happy about it. He was almost literally bouncing off the walls. Jemima was excited too. After Munkustrap announced it to the whole tribe, they both shot off in the direction of Jequenia’s home.
Mungojerrie
6/30/1999
Today was boring. Not much to do. The humans had gone on vacation, so Rumple and I were stuck in the junkyard. There wasn’t much to see, except seeing Tugger flirt with Jequenia, and no one should want to watch THAT.
Mungojerrie
7/1/1999
The 4th of July is coming! I can’t wait! I’m doing tons of stuff with Misto. We’re decorating and all those great things. Pouncival’s in charge of food (I don’t know how he got THAT position).
Here comes Mistoffelees. I think he wants to talk. Sorry my entries have been so short. Been busy preparing for lots and lots of fun!
Mungojerrie
7/2/1999
Oh yeah! This is gonna be the best 4th of July ever! Misto and I are planning to put red, white, and blue streamers all over the junkyard and these really cool candles that Rumple and I snatched. I’m gonna be the DJ and Misto will be the waiter, and Pouncival’s going to dress up like a cook. This is gonna be so much fun! I can hardly wait for…2 days? 2 days? Man, Misto and I gotta work fast!
Mungojerrie
7/4/1999
Sorry I didn’t write yesterday. Like I said, 2 days! Man!
This 4th was the best! I had a blast being the DJ. I played all these funky songs. I also played slow songs. On my favorite one, I told Tumblebrutus to watch the DJ stand while I danced with Rumple. I had the best time of my life.
After all that, everyone ate. And guess what? Pouncival actually did a good job on cooking the food! Nothing was burnt! Everything was perfect. I liked it. There were mice, rats, Meow Mix, caviar, and Strassburg pie. Victoria brought a few cans of Fancy Feast, and I noticed that they disappeared after a few seconds. I think Pounce and Tumble took them.
When we were done eating, everyone watched the fireworks. They were beautiful. I was having a great time. Saphinora came over to sit with Rumple and me. I looked over at where she had been sitting. Misto and Victoria were nuzzling each other. Aw, how sweet. I looked around. I saw Pouncival edging closer to Jequenia (ooh, I think he has a crush!), and Bombalurina and Rum Tum Tugger getting close. Jennyanydots and Skimble were snuggling. I smiled and turned to Saphinora. She nodded and took a hint and went to sit somewhere else. I started to nuzzle Rumpleteazer. She nuzzled back. I sighed. I was in heaven.

Ugh…must sleep…must sleep. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

7/6/1999
Pouncival’s in it deep! Demeter is gonna kill him! But I must admit it IS a great joke.
Here’s what happened. Last night, Pounce painted Demeter rainbow. And in the morning, you could hear screams coming from her lair. I saw Pouncival laughing and smirking. And the next moment, a rainbow blur could be seen shooting towards Pouncival’s lair. And for a couple hours, Demeter was chasing Pounce all over the junkyard, screaming at the top of her lungs that she was going to kill him. And in the afternoon, Demeter was washing her fur to try to get the paint out. I sure hope the little guy used washable paints!
Mungojerrie
7/7/1999
Pouncival’s taking it safe. He built this huge fence around his lair. Jequenia helped, but still, Pouncival managed to get both of them stuck in his lair. You could definitely see that Demeter was disappointed that he decided to do something smart for a change. From what I gathered from Rumpleteazer, they were gonna get hundreds of water balloons and throw them at Pounce. But Demeter wanted to use permanent ink. But luckily, Saphinora reminded her that Pouncival didn’t use permanent colors when he painted her. Whew. I wouldn’t want a black, red, or blue Pouncival around the junkyard.
Mungojerrie
7/8/1999
Pouncival made me go find him a lock. He said that he’s gonna build a door, and that he needs a lock. So I spent all day doing that.
Mungojerrie
7/9/19999
I spent all day helping Pouncival make a door so that he and Jequenia could get out. Oh, and I found that lock he needed. Good. Sorry this is really short.
Mungojerrie
7/10/1999
Today was boring. Pouncival was still in his little fort thing, and Rumple was with Demeter and Saphinora all day planning for their trick on Pounce. It better be a good joke. I think he deserves it (don’t get me wrong, I think the jokes he played on Demeter were funny, but still! Enough is enough).
Mungojerrie
7/11/1999
Success! They did it! They played the trick on Pouncival! And it was very, VERY funny.
Demeter and her gang got up at the crack of dawn with 100 water balloons and doused Pouncival with them. They didn’t know this, but I had borrowed our humans’ camera and took a few pictures. I plan to show them to Demeter when they develop. And of course, I took a picture of when Pounce played all his tricks on Demeter and when Demi played all her tricks on Pounce. So, naturally, I’m going to take a picture of Demeter when Pounce makes his move. Oh, I’m gonna have a wonderful scrapbook!
Mungojerrie
7/12/1999
Ho hum. Another day, another…another…I don’t know.
Mungojerrie
7/13/1999
Today is the 13th! Oh no! THE bad luck day.
Demeter had Bombalurina be her bodyguard, and Tugger helped out too, because Demi knew that Pounce wouldn’t dare go past Tugger. Smart.
Mungojerrie
7/14/1999
I saw Pounce prowling around in his fort (he didn’t take it down. I don’t think he ever will). He’s just planning a trick for Demeter. I know it.
Mungojerrie
7/15/1999
Pouncival wasn’t here today. Oh well. Good for him. No one knew where he was. Plato and Tumble were really upset when he didn’t show up to clean up his lair (it was still full of balloons). So they had to do it all by themselves. I don’t know why they didn’t ask me or Rumple to steal a vacuum cleaner. The job would’ve been a lot quicker if they did. Yup. Misto asked me if I wanted to play cards. So, of course, I said okay. But we couldn’t get Tumble and Plato to play, so we couldn’t play. Darn.
Mungojerrie
7/16/1999
Pouncival still wasn’t at the junkyard! I think he’s doing some serious thinking about some of the stuff he’s gonna play. But while Rumple and I were collecting loot, I thought I saw him coming out of this rich house with a…few bags of flour? I don’t know. I think that it’s gonna be chaos at the junkyard for a few days. Munkustrap better handle this well. He’s never been the fun type.
