It was the night every cat looked forwards to; The Jellicle ball. Romani was eagerly awaiting it, looking forward to dancing the routines she had been perfecting with Demeter.

Misto rushed in, tripping over Jemima as he ran. He apologised quickly and disappeared back out the door. Jemima looked at her mother and burst out laughing. Romani joined in. Misto had promised to prove to Romani and Jemima that he could be graceful and Romani couldn't wait to see what happened.

Romani had just finished singing "Macavity" with her sister and, sitting in the pipe, she watched Jemima and the other kittens play as Tugger sang his song. She nodded her head, in time to the music, enjoying herself immensely and wondering how she could thank Tugger for taking Jemmie off her hands for a while.

It had been her idea for the kittens to start a fan club and they seemed to really take it seriously, holding meetings and even coming up with little chants. Romani smiled at their innocence as Etcetera screamed her loudest, when Tugger sang one of his famous "Abouts".

Her smile vanished when she heard a voice in the dark.

"Jemima's quite cute isn't she?"

Romani hissed at Macavity's voice, searching for where it was coming from.

"Don't worry, I'm not doing anything. Yet."

Romani jumped out of her skin as he appeared above her.

"I'm not interested in her but her mother's grown up to be quite a lovely young queen!"

Romani couldn't believe it. Macavity was, in effect, her father in law. She slashed out, catching him across his face. He was about to lash back but disappeared as suddenly as he had arrived.

Misto crawled through the pipe and wrapped his arms around Romani.

"It's ok, we won't let him have her. You know how protective Tugger is; I don't think any harm is likely to come to Jemmie if he's anywhere near!"

Romani nodded. She would take his word for it and for now, she would enjoy herself and ignore her worries. She watched, with tears in her eyes, as her daughter sang her mother's lullaby:

"Moonlight, turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you
Open up, enter in
If you find there the meaning of what happiness is
Then a new life will begin"

Awww!!!! It's all over! *sob* Very short last chapter but I think that's all that was needed =D
