This idea came out of nowhere! I was just sitting in class, bored out of my mind when I thought of this idea. I wrote some of it down and I thought I might as well see where this goes. So here ya go. BTW any characters that are not in Cats are totally made up. I just thought of random names. Disclaimer- I do not own Cats (unfortunately) but my human character is all mine. No touchie! Enjoy!

How did I get here?

Standing in a junkyard, surrounded by strange, cat like creatures who were staring at me angrily like I had done something wrong.

I don't know how I got here.

But I guess I might as well tell you what happened before this.

I guess this whole thing started the day my history teacher made us pick topics for our project on Egypt.

My teacher, Mrs. Thomas, was droning on and on about nothing, as usual.

She then said something none of us expected. "Students, please put up your books. It's time to pick your topics for your Egyptian project. Remember, this is worth 40% of your grade, so if you mess this up, you don't pass."

We all quickly packed up our things as Mrs. Thomas came around with a bucket with the topics inside.

I was excited as I watched my friends pick topics like "The mummification process", "The Pyramids" and "The great kings of Egypt."

As Mrs. Thomas stopped in front of my desk, I sat up in my chair, and quickly shoved my hand into the bucket. I grabbed a small piece of paper and quickly pulled it out.

I read it out loud to the class. "My topic is 'Cats and their role in ancient Egyptian society.'" I smiled smugly for a moment.

Some of the girls in the back started to giggle quietly.

I then looked down at the piece of paper again. "Wait. What?" I asked to no one in particular.

I looked up as Mrs. Thomas walked to the front of the classroom. "Alright now that all of you have your topics, are there any questions?" she asked.

I quickly raised my hand.

"Casey. You have a question?" She asked, shocked. I nodded. "Yes. Um…Can I change topics?" I asked.

She laughed. "I'm afraid not. There are only enough topics for each student to have one." She replied. I sank down into my chair.

She quickly looked at the clock. "Ok you have about six minutes until the bell rings, so you can have free time." She said loudly.

Everyone turned around to talk with their friends about their topics.

Some girls walked by my desk to stare at me.

"Freak." One whispered.

"Loser." Another mumbled.

"Nerd." The other one whispered.

None of their insults were loud enough for Mrs. Thomas to hear, but just loud enough for me to hear.

They sneered at me, then walked away.

I looked down at my desk and sighed. "Casey?" a familiar voice said. I looked up.

"Oh, hey Daniel. So what topic did you get?" I asked. He smiled.

"I got the coolest topic ever. Egyptian Mythology." He replied happily.

I stared at him. "Lucky! I have read tons of Egyptian mythology. I know all about it! But somehow I end up having to do a project on stupid Egyptian cats." I said angrily.

I felt a cold wind pass over me. I shivered.

He sat back down in his desk next to mine. "Yea, that's messed up. Hey, can I borrow your book of mythology? I need to read a couple of the Egyptian myths." He asked quickly. I nodded.

"Sure. Just be careful with it. It's one of my favorite mythology books." I replied.

I reached into my backpack and pulled out the thick, colorful book. I quickly handed it him.

"Thanks Casey! You're the best!" he said happily. I looked away quickly.

"Sure, whatever." I mumbled.

He quickly started to flip through when he stopped. "Hey Casey, look. I found a picture of a giant Egyptian cat." He said.

I looked over to where he was pointing. "That's Bast, the Egyptian cat goddess. According to my research, she is the deity representing protection, fertility, and motherhood." I replied quickly.

He looked up at me, surprised. "Wow. You sure do know a lot about her." He said. I shrugged.

"I told you, I have read tons of different Egyptian myths. I was hoping Mrs. Thomas would notice and make sure I got Egyptian mythology as my topic." I replied.

"Yea. But you know Mrs. Thomas. She always wants us to learn something. If you already know about mythology, you should do a project on something you don't know." He said slowly. I sighed.

"True." I said.

Just then the bell rang. I quickly shoved the rest of my papers into my bag.

"Hey, Casey?" he asked. I quickly flung my bag over my shoulder.

"Yea?" I replied, turning to walk out the door.

He quickly followed. "You know a lot about mythology, right?" he asked.

I stopped at my locker, slowly turning the lock.

"34-47-3" I mumbled my combination under my breath and opened my locker. "You could say that." I replied, grabbing my books out of my locker.

"And you said you have a collection of Mythology books?" he asked quickly.

I closed my locker loudly and turned to look at him. "Ok Daniel, lets get on with it. What do you want?" I asked.

"It's just I don't know that much about mythology and you seem to be the only person I know who understands it. So can you help me?" he asked quickly. I sighed loudly.

"Ok fine. I guess I can give you some of my mythology books." I replied reluctantly.

"Thanks! You're the best!" he said happily.

"I know." I replied, looking down at my watch. "Come on. We need to get going before we miss the bus." I said loudly.

He nodded. We quickly made our way through the steady stream of people leaving the school.

As we exited the building, we started to run towards the buses. We ran up to the bus just as the doors were closing. The bus driver gave us a serious look and opened the doors. We sighed in relief.

"We made it." I said slowly.

We quickly started to walk over to our usual seats, three rows behind the bus driver. I slowly slid over by the window and Daniel sat next to me. The buses engine roared to life and the bus quickly started to move.

I turned to look at him. "I should probably go ahead a call my mom. Tell her you're coming over." I said slowly. He nodded.

I quickly dug through my bag to get my phone. I quickly punched in her number and held in up to my ear. After 2 beeps, she picked up. "Hello." She said.

"Hey mom." I said slowly.

"Casey! How was your day?" she asked.

"Fine. Hey, Daniel is coming over; he needs help with a school project." I said quickly.

"Ok. See you later!" she said happily.

"Yea. Bye." I said. I quickly hung up.

"She's cool with it." I said. I glanced out the window quickly. "My stop is next. Better get your bag ready." I said slowly.

He nodded. As the bus slowly came to a stop, we got up and quickly started to walk off the bus. We quickly walked across the yard and stopped at the front porch.

I quick dug out my key and unlocked the door. We walked in, quickly shutting the door behind us.

I put down my bag quickly. "Come on. The books are up in my room." I whispered.

We quickly walked up the stairs and walked into my room. I quickly looked through my bookshelf and picked up all of my mythology books and spread them out on the floor in front of Daniel.

He jumped slightly when he saw the mound of books in front of him. "All of these belong to you?" he asked carefully, trying not to sound surprised.

I turned to look at him. "Do you want my help or not?" I asked.

"I do want your help." He replied.

"Then quit with all judgmental comments." I remarked quickly, sitting down next to him.

"Ok, these two books focus mainly on Egyptian Mythology, these three have a couple of different myths but I have some good websites you can look at for what you don't find in these books. Here's the list of websites." I said quickly, handing him five books and one piece of paper. "If you have any questions about anything, just call me. Oh and if you see any myths about Egyptian cats, call me. Take good care of my books." I continued quickly.

He nodded. "Thanks again, Casey! I better get going. I have a lot of reading to do." He said as he slowly stood up. He quickly pushed the books into his bag. "Ok, bye Casey. See you at school Monday." He said as he opened the door to leave.

"Wait. When did Mrs. Thomas say the project is due?" I asked quickly.

"Tuesday." He replied, closing the door behind him. I sighed.

"Great. Might as well get started." I mumbled to myself, sitting in front of the computer.

I quickly started to type. "Cats were highly revered in Ancient Egypt and were very important to Egyptian society and religion, and some cats got the same mummification after death as humans." I typed slowly. I slowly read over it.

"I should have gotten Mythology as my topic." I mumbled angrily.

"This is so STUPID!" I screamed, unable to hold it in.

As I said this, a loud crash made me turn away from the computer quickly.

I slowly turned back to look at the computer screen and gave a surprised squeal.

A black and white cat was sitting on the computer desk, staring at me intently.

"What? How did you get in here?" I asked it.

It continued to stare at me.

"That's it, I'm calling Daniel. He probably let you in here as a joke." I yelled angrily, picking up the phone.

I turned away from the strange cat, waiting for Daniel to pick up. After three beeps, he finally picked up. "What is it, Casey? Did you find another book I can use for my project?" he asked quickly.

"No. Daniel, I didn't have to give you those books. If you don't want my help, just tell me." I said quickly.

"What are you talking about?" he asked.

I slowly turned to look at the cat. "There's a cat on my…" I stopped.

The cat was gone.

"Hello? Casey? Ya there?" he said from the telephone.

"Forget what I said. I'm so stressed out, I'm seeing cats everywhere." I said slowly.

"Ok. Bye!" he said.

I slowly put the phone down.

I quickly saved what I had written and shut down the computer. "I must be tired. It has been a pretty long day, after all." I whispered, slowly making my way up the stairs to my room.

I slowly fell onto my bed, suddenly very tired. I slowly slipped into a deep sleep.

Strange cats and Egyptians filled my dreams. A strange smell surrounded me.

The smell of cat food.

I awoke, slowly looking around. Oh that's nice. I'm in a junkyard. I thought sleepily.

I jolted awake and looked around. I was in a junkyard, surrounded by mounds of trash. But the only thing I could smell was cat food.

As I looked around, the strange black and white cat appeared out of thin air once again. "Where am I?" I asked the cat.

It stared at me. I sighed.

"Oh, who am I kidding? I'm asking a cat for directions." I said loudly.

I looked at the ground, unsure what to do.

"Hey there!" a loud, excited voice said.

I looked up quickly.

The only other living thing near me was the cat. I stared at it for a moment.

"Hey Jemima, come look at this!" the voice said again.

I stared at the cat, who was no longer looking at me, but at a small mound of garbage not to far away.

I looked over there as well.

"What is it, Pouncival?" another voice piped up, this one soft and gentle.

Suddenly, two small cats popped their heads out from behind the mound of garbage.

The two cats quickly walked over to me, their eyes wide and full of curiosity.

Five more cats walked over to them, looking up at me curiously.

Then one little kitten, the youngest of them, walked up next to me and slowly raised her paw, as if to touch me.

Then two orange tabby cats ran between the small kitten and me. One hissed at me, making me back away cautiously. The other one gave the kitten an angry glare, making the kitten slowly walk back to the group.

Slowly, more and more cats walked into the clearing, all of them staring up at me curiously.

Suddenly, a black and white striped tabby cat ran into the clearing, giving me an angry look. He slowly stood up on his back legs like a human.

I blinked and where the small, tabby cat had been there was now a large, human-sized cat creature. I screamed.

The creature looked exactly like the tabby cat, but now he was big enough to attack me. I slowly started to crawl backwards, away from the strange man cat.

I looked around, and there were more of them. Everywhere I turned, it seemed the cats had changed into the freaky cat creatures.

Then only the strange, black and white cat was left. He stared at me, his eyes boring into mine.

Then the black and white cat creature spoke. "Misto. We need to teach this human that cats are not as stupid as they appear." He said, his voice a chilling whisper.

I looked back at the black and white cat just as he changed into a cat creature as well.

I looked at him, my eyes wide and fearful.

He gave me an apologetic look then raised his big, furry hands.

I closed my eyes as lightning shot out of his hands.

As the lightning hit me, I felt a strange tingling all over. It was pleasant at first, then quickly became painful as it grew more intense. I screamed in pain. Every part of me was on fire. The creature was ripping my bones apart. He was trying to kill me.

I used all the energy I could gather and looked up at the strange creatures surrounding me. The one shooting me with lightning looked upset that he was causing me any pain.

My eyes fell on another cat creature that made me gasp in wonder.

This one's fur was black, white and orange. But I wasn't looking at his fur.

I was looking at his face.

That beautiful face, full of pain, as if the poor creature was sharing my pain.

Our eyes met. I tried to smile at him but a sudden shooting pain made me scream loudly.

I opened my eyes, trying to get one more look at this beautiful creature. This time, I managed to twist my mouth into a half smile before I let out a low moan, unable to stay awake through the pain.

I saw the small kitten, now a cat creature as well, stare at me, her wide, innocent eyes boring into me.

I felt everything slip away and I passed out.

Yea I know. It's a bit much. But once I started, I couldn't stop!

BTW in this story, Cats the Musical don't exist. That's why Casey so freaked out by the Jellicles.
