I’ve had a thought.

What if every cat knows what the meaning of happiness is, but as they grow older, the memory of that knowledge fades. It takes a strong powerful action to happen for a cat to remember the true meaning of happiness again. Grizabella remembered after she realised all she truly wanted was her family. Old Deuteronomy remembered after he realised the difference between life with the Jellicles, and life without. Jemima didn’t need this. Jemima already knew. She just needed to ask herself, ‘What is the meaning of happiness?’ . She listened to Old Deuteronomy and understood what he was saying. Jemima is a young cat, newly reborn. Thats why only some cats know and remember the true meaning of happiness.

Fic under the cut!

Asparagus grinned and scaled down one of the pillars supporting the theatre. Jellylorum smiled and followed him down. When she got to the bottom, Asparagus lifted his paw up to her to help her get off the column. She smiled gratefully at him and took it. She noticed his blush underneath his fur and laughed quietly. Jelly gently nuzzled his shoulder and felt his tail curl around her waist. It was her turn to blush when she heard someone cough behind them. The two cats ran to the source of the noise, seeing it was Gus sliding onto the stage. Asparagus hugged his father while Jelly smiled at him. Asparagus took a step back, letting Gus gently hug Jelly.

"Well, if it isn't the famous Jellylorum. Giorago has been talking about you non stop these past couple days," Gus said, leading them to a cozy corner in the wings.

Jelly saw Asparagus go red and she couldn't help but laugh again. She laid down on the floor next to Asparagus.

The three of them talked for hours, staying in the same positions. Gus smiled to himself as he noticed the young cats glancing over to the other then quickly averting their eyes.

Eventually, they all stood up.

"We'd better get back," Asparagus said, nuzzling his father's shoulder.

"Deut might have a fit if he sees us coming back this late!" Jellylorum giggled.

Asparagus grinned and the two of them made their way out of the theatre, leaving Gus behind to curl up in the ticket box.

As the they approached the junkyard, Jelly looked up at Asparagus.

"Can we meet up again?" She asked.

Jelly smiled as she saw Asparagus grin and nod.

"Meet me by Trafagar Square in two days," He said.

Jelly blushed and nodded.

Asparagus then gently kissed her cheek.

"Meam incolumem futurum amorem ego servabo," He whispered in her ear.

Jellylorum blushed red, despite not knowing what the words meant.

Asparagus smiled gently down at her before sliding off. Jelly stared at his retreating figure in the darkness for a few minutes before sprinting off to Jenny's den (she would be moving in with Skimble after the Ball). She ungracefully burst into Jenny's den and jumped on the tabby cat with surprising amount of energy.

"Jenny! JENNY!" Jelly yelled, grinning like an idiot.

"WHAT?" The ginger queen shouted back, amused and intrigued about how excited her friend was.

"JENNY HE KISSED ME! HE KISSED ME ON THE CHEEK JENNY! HE TOOK ME TO THE THEATRE AND IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL! HE'S INCREDIBLE JENNY, HE REALLY IS!" Jelly was shouting esctatic gibberish.

Jenny laughed and put her paws on her best friend's shoulders.

"Slow down Jelly! Explain properly!"

Jelly took a deep breath and slowly explained everything.

"Well Jelly," Jenny grinned.  "You've fallen in love!"

Asparalorum

(Based off the song 'Chasing Cars' by Snow Patrol- also I'm now taking song requests so you can request a song for any ship-)

He sighed, jumping down from a pile of junk and grabbing the paws of his love, gently pulling her to the ground.

"If I lay here..." he started.

"If I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?" He managed to eventually say.

"I don't quite know, how to say how I feel. Those three words are said too much. But they're not enough!"

As he spoke, his voice rose in volume and the excitement shone through every word.

"If I lay here... If I just lay here...Would you lie with me and just forget the world?"

He quietened down, slipping his arm around her waist, pressing gentle kisses to the arch of her neck.

"Forget what we're told... before we get too old. Show me a garden that's bursting into life or let's waste time chasing cars around our heads,"

He smiled slightly and held the queen, his queen, close to his brown and white chest.

"I need your grace to remind me to find my own because all that I am... all that I ever was... is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see,"

He glanced down into the glimmering green eyes of his sweetheart, deep love reflected in them.

"I-I don't know where... confused about how as well. Just know that these things will never change for us at all..."

As Asparagus gently kissed Jellylorum, he knew this queen was all he needed.

-(- 50 years later -)-

As Old Deuteronomy slowly lowered his arms after his declaration of how to address a cat, a thin black and brown and white tom stepped forward. Although he was thinner and slower and older, there were three things that hadn't changed. 1- His love and talent for performing. 2- His love for singing. 3- His love for Jellylorum.

"If I lay here... I-If I just lay here... would you lie with me and just forget the world?"

The face of his love, his queen, his goddess, his Jelly shone out at him from the group of Jellicle. As she caught his eyes, everything melted away.

They were just Jellylorum and Asparagus Jr.

They were just Jelly and Razzie.

They were just two cats in love, trying their best for the world.

The Naming of Cats

Mentioning cats is a difficult thing It's not just one of your Christmas games At first you might think I'm mad as a hatter If I tell you, the cat should have three different names

First, the surname the family uses every day Like Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James Like Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey These are all meaningful everyday names

But let me tell you, a cat needs a special name A strange and dignified name How else does it keep its tail straight? Or to widen the mustache or to cultivate pride?

Under these names I can give you a quorum Like Munkustrap, Quaxo and Coricopat Like bombalurin or jelly Names that never belong to more than one cat

But there is another name And here's a name you never think about A name that no human research can discover But the cat himself knows this and will never accept it

When you see a cat in deep meditation The reason, I tell you, is always the same His mind thinks, thinks Think, think, think of his name ...

It doesn't work, inexplicably, it can't work A deep and unexplored name Name, name, name, name, name, name
