It was nearly Halloween and the Jellicles were ready for the Halloween ball. Jellylorum was not too happy. "Halloween
goodness me, a waste of time surely." She said gloomily. The kittens were very excited though they were all scrabbling among
the junk to find something good to wear, ready for Halloween.
"Im dressing up as Firefofiddle." Tumblebrutus said.
"I am going to be Rumpuscat." Pouncival said excitedly.
Jellylorum walked past still gloomy about Halloween. "Dont waste your time kittens." She muttered.
Munkustrap was
very excited about Halloween. He started to carve a pumpkin into a face. Jellylorum glared at him. "A grown tom fancy that,
still into this stupid Halloween nonsense." She said.
Demeter cautiously stalked the junkyard. "We must be careful Bomba you never know Macavity could be watching us right
now."
" Oh Demeter dont be so superstitious Macavity is probably trick or treating." Bombalurina said laughing.
"Im serious Bomba this is the scariest night of the year and I feel my tail twitching." The queens walked away into the
darkness.
But Demeter was right Macavity was at the end of the street his claws scraping through the dirt. Ive caught
a Jellicle before I can do it again maybe get a decent wife out of it.
Jellylorum fixed her eyes upon the kittens playing
with each other in the junk. She sighed and fell asleep inside the car. While the cats had gone to greet Old Deuteronomy Macavity
slipped into the junkyard.
He noticed Jellylorums tail flicking out one side of the car. "Well, well, well nobody will
miss you my dear." Macavity said. And with that his henchmen grabbed Jellylorum and tugged her back to his layer.
The
Jellicles gathered around Old Deuteronomy while he talked to them all. "Munkustrap where is Jellylorum? I must greet her."
He said. Munkustrap organised a search party and the jellicles searched everywhere. But Pouncival, Tumblebrutus and Electra
had gone of trick or treating.
Meanwhile at Macavitys layer Jellylorum struggled to get free. "Now my dear tell of Old
Deuteronomys special hideout and I will set you free!"
" Never." Cried Jellylorum.
Just then a knock came at the door. Macavity shoved Jellylorum into a pile of junk
and opened the door. There stood Pouncival, Tumblebrutus and Electra. Trick or treat. They chorused. Macavity raised his brows
and gave them a funny look.
"Sorry Macavity. Electra said. "Jemima dared us to."
" Urrrr here." Macavity said and he handed them a box of dead mice. "Stop!"cried Pouncival." look!" and he
pointed at Jellylorum in the corner.
"You little punks." Roared Macavity and before he could grab them the three kittens raced away with Jellylorum.
"DAMN!"
Cried Macavity and he smashed a glass lamp on the ground.
The kittens and Jellylorum rushed to the junkyard where
the Jellicles stood waiting. Jellylorum explained everything. "Why if it werent for the kittens I would have been dead meat."
Explained Jellylorum. The jellicles decided there would be no more Halloween celebrations it turned out Jellylorum was right.
