It was the night of the ball as everyone anticipated. The air was filled with excitement and joy for the return of Old Deuteronomy, and the grand night where all Jellicle cats would be able to spread out there smooth dance moves under the Jellicle moon where they would all be exposed to its beauty and possessed with enlightenment. Munkustrap and Alonzo were both fully aware of this activity that was about to take place but even more aware of the possible threats that may come with it they didn't want a repeat of last years catastrophe where Old Deuteronomy was captured by the cruel Macavity so in order to keep things fully safe Alonzo and other chosen cats had to at all times be bodyguards to the leader.
"I hope you understand the importance of our leader's safety Alonzo you are my second in command and so I expect nothing but the best from you." Munkustrap spoke wisely, walking over to him and resting a hand on his shoulder.
Alonzo stood as proudly as he could, arms by his back and chin held high.

Alonzo at first was hesitant, this was his time to shine and flaunt his pride out like a country flag and not being able to dance with his friends. Well to him it would send anyone mad. Until a such a vile idea came into his head. But of course, he wasn't aware of what this would do to his friend. No how could he? After all, Misto would never let Alonzo get the better of him.
Before Munkustrap could leave Alonzo turned around and gulped.
"With all due respect Munkustrap, you know I am one of your best dancers so you need me on stage."
Munkustrap turned back around slightly insulted by Alonzo's decline.
"Do you have any other idea for who could take your place then?"

Mr Mistofelees was bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready to show Rum Tum Tugger what he's got after months of practising his airs and graces when he heard Alonzo about to pounce on him turning quickly to avoid his friends attack.

"You know Alonzo I would have expected more from the cat who claims he can balances on thinner wires than I." Mr Mistofelees said unimpressed patting down his chest and readjusting his black bowtie.

"Not my fault you have more energy than Tumblebrutus on catnip!" replied Alonzo.

That sent both of the cats into fits of laughter as Alonzo was helped up by Mr Mistofelees.

Alonzo dusted himself off and then held out an elegant hand to his friend"Ready to go Misto?"
"Yes, I believe so." Mr Mistofelees responded and gave Alonzo his hand as they both pranced there way out of the den to the place where the Jellicle ball would take place.

The ball had not begun yet but the junkyard had never felt so alive and shone with the brightest of smiles from the kittens.
Nothing could ever compare to the beauty of the junkyard on a night such as this.

When the two arrived a familiar feeling overcame Mr Mistofelees. Yet again everything was normal. But after checking the air there was no smell of the Rum Tum Tugger.
Mr Mistofelees ears flopped sadly but then remembered how the older cat loved to be fashionably late.
"Alright, Misty I think I can hear the ladies calling for me. You gonna be good by yourself."
Alonzo asked patting his back.
"And when have I ever needed you to make an entrance." Mr Mistofelees purred back making Alonzo mimic him, scoff and then leave with a swish of his tail over to the closest female cat.

"I wouldn't expect anything less from Alonzo." Said a familiar voice coming from behind him.
He turned around and was face to face with the exact cat he was thinking about.
The Rum Tum Tugger stood proudly in front of him a smirk zipped onto his face.
Mr Mistofelees almost died right there and then but then remembered who he was and stood proudly too, facing back to Alonzo who was currently checking his hair in a nearby puddle.
"He reminds me of you." He scoffed.
"Owch! That hurt!" Tugger put a hand on where his heart would be and fake cried Mr mistofelees chuckled.
"But I couldn't possibly for you see I don't think anyone could make you laugh like I can or has the opportunity to notice your beautiful chocolate eyes." Tugger purred holding Mr mistofelees chin between his thumb and index.
"Ever heard of the word subtle?"
"Ahaha no.." Tugger sighed his fake cheeky smile dropping into a genuine one as he rubbed the back of his neck and stared at the ground.
Now, this is the Tugger Mr Mistofelees had fallen in love with.
Tugger himself had fallen madly in love with Quaxo. Even before his birthday, he had always had an eye on the cat. He was always different but after his birthday he noticed how alike they really were and couldn't get it out of his head. His hands touching his hair and dragging the comb with it. He couldn't sleep or eat ever since but whenever he did see him his snarky side came out ten times bigger and it seemed like any sliver of attention from him was enough. But tonight would be different. Tonight he would tell Quaxo his feelings, he didn't care about his pride anymore he needed to tell him as soon as possible.
"Could we go for a walk before the Jellicle ball?"
"Um sure but I have to go soon after."
