Cats

Invitation to the Jellicle Ball

"You haven't heard of the Jellicle ball?" Asked Misto surprised. I looked down and felt stupid and embarrassed 'Was I supposed to know what that was?' "We haven't heard of  of Jellicle cats before today to be honest, we haven't had the best start in life..." Victoria who some how gotten next to me and Munkstrap next to Misto without being noticed. She trailed off fighting back the tears. I have her comforting side hug and traced circles on her back with my ... thumb? (Just go with it) as Victoria laid her head on my shoulder. We didn't live long without being abandoned. Now we have to live on the streets which surprisingly has not been that bad so far. "Let us make up for that." Said Misto in a quiet comforting voice. Munkstrap nodded in agreement and said somewhere between singing and talking "Jellicle cats meet once a year, Under the Jellicle moon, And wait for the Jellicle leader to appear, To make the Jellicle choice," "Jellicle choice?" My sister and ask as a union. "One cat is chosen to be born in a new life." Munkstrap explains. "So they can be who they always wanted to be." Misto pipes in seeming to have want it himself, I know I just meet him but I wouldn't change anything . "How will they be chosen?" Asked Victoria snapping me out of my thoughts. "By singing a song about themselves of course," said Munkstrap with a cheeky smile. "Who they are, what they do..." Misto adds shyly. "You want to try?" I quietly asked Misto thinking how stupid the question was and why I asked it. "Yes...yes I am." Said Misto a little louder over the other cats who are laughing and snickering at him. "I'm sure you will be amazing." I said trying to boost his confidence. "Th-thank you." Said Misto with a shy smile. "You're welcome." I said returning the smile. Munkstrap took Victoria's paw again and said "Come, let me show you the other cats who are competing."
