A/N: As of this chapter, this story is officially over. I think it was fun while it lasted, but now I feel a little sad. This is one of my first "deep" and "meaningful" stories. I hope everyone will enjoy this story. I would put a warning telling you that this ending is really sad etc, but you've already read this far and deserve to see the ending anyway. As I said in Chapter 8 or so, there are two endings, you can choose in your own mind.

It's sort of funny, after I killed off Alonzo, a bunch more people reviewed! Maybe I should just kill characters more often.

To my kool, fantastic, amazing reviewers:

To Don't know Don't care 38: I am honored that you read this story. Thank you for reading! I hope you like this ending!

To Tuggers'Lil'Princess: Good luck with that. Thanks for reading! I hope you like this ending!

To PlatoLuvr-08: It seems that most people who read this story don't like femslash, interesting. Thanks for reading! I hope you like this ending!

To mutinykitten: I'm not trying to torment you. :) Sorry for that. Thanks for reading! I hope you like this ending.

To jellicle-artist: Sorry about making you depressed, I will say that this ending will definitely make you super depressed. But I'm glad that it makes you think. Thanks for reading! I hope you like the ending anyway.

To bob: Thanks for reading! I hope you like this ending!

He was dead before he hit the ground.

Jemima cried out again and kneeled next to Alonzo's still form. She looked at his blank eyes and tried to tear her eyes away from the gruesome sight, but she couldn't. Victoria stood still watching little droplets of water drip down Jemima's cheeks slowly. The Jellicles were surprised, but most were still not moving.

Cassandra and Exotica rushed forward and checked on Alonzo. They crowded around the body and not a word could express what each was feeling at that very moment.

"Victoria", Jemima said very numbly. The white queen reached out and pulled Jemima into a tight embrace. The calico whimpered, "Please, let us leave this place. This is our fault."

"It wasn't our fault", Victoria tried convincing herself, along with Jemima, that those words were true. Jemima pleaded, "Please, let's leave."

Munkustrap groaned loudly and sat up rubbing his head. When his eyelids lifted, his eyes showed great remorse. He hadn't meant to kill his brother. Just to defend himself, but instead…

The Jellicle Protector got up and did what he thought Old Deuteronomy would want him to do.

"I'm sorry, Alonzo. I hope you can forgive me."

Jemima spun around and pushed Munkustrap roughly. That got everyone's attention. She screamed, "Forgive? Tell me something, Munkustrap. I thought you were a great tom. What happened? Did you change?"

"I didn't change", Munkustrap glared at her with a bitter expression, "You are the one that has changed."

Jemima crumpled down and began to sob. Victoria rushed forward and said, "We don't want anymore bloodshed on our account. We're leaving."

"Hold it!" Munkustrap shouted. The white queen turned around slowly.

"You killed Old Deuteronomy! Do you think you'll get away with it?" Munkustrap roared and pounded the nearby wall. Victoria's eyes were calm as she whispered, "I see. Is this what it's all about? You're throwing a tantrum because your father is dead? I can relate, just don't pull others into this."

"You killed him", Munkustrap hissed angrily. The white queen almost rolled her eyes. Jemima turned to the Jellicles and pleaded, "Electra, Cassandra, Exotica, Misto and Tugger. I thought you supported us."

Misto turned away as did Tugger. Electra bit her lip nervously as Cassandra backed away. Exotica was nowhere to be seen. Victoria sighed, "I get it."

"Since you were both Jellicles once, I will lessen the punishment. You two are to be separated forever. Jemima will stay here and Victoria, you will be going to India with your aunt and brother." Munkustrap rapped out, sounding very much in charge. Jemima wanted to protest, but there would be no use. No one was supporting them anymore.

Demeter pulled Jemima away before she could do anything. The calico's spirit felt broken and she let herself be led away like a doll. Victoria made no attempt to follow, since Munkustrap and Admetus together were too much for her.

The white queen had an idea. She turned to Munkustrap with lifeless eyes and asked, "Can I please visit Old Deuteronomy's den and apologize?"

"Sure", Munkustrap was surprised at Victoria's show of regret. Then the white queen continued, "After that, may I visit Jemima one more time?"

Munkustrap considered the idea for a moment, "Fine, but in front of all the Jellicles."

"Thank you, Munkustrap", Victoria murmured.

Jemima buried her face into her paws and sobbed. Life hurt so much.

At the goodbye for Victoria, Jenny and Misto, all the Jellicles were gathered. It was raining very hard. Jemima looked at Victoria with those blank eyes that were as dead as Alonzo's. The white queen reached out to hug Jemima. Then mid-hug, Victoria slipped something into Jemima's paw.

Jemima looked into her paw. It was a vial of something watery. Victoria looked at Jemima with sad eyes. The look alone could freeze the warmest summer day.

The calico looked up, catching the look, and nodded. Suddenly, in unison, the two popped open the top and quickly downed the two vials. Jemima let go and it fell to the floor with a smash. Glass shards flew everywhere.

Munkustrap's eyes widened. Victoria looked at everyone around her and said, "Those were two vials of poison that I found in Old Deuteronomy's den. They weren't mine. I guess Old Deuteronomy might have accidently poisoned himself to death."

The Jellicles were speechless. The white queen breathed, "You forced us to do this."

Admetus looked confused. Jemima whispered, "The song that we sang to Old Deuteronomy, the one about clowns, has a meaning. You are all clowns. People with smiles. We were telling you to open your eyes and see us for who we really are."

Electra thought for a moment. Maybe if she had stepped forward and helped them, this wouldn't have happened.

"There is no antidote", Victoria breathed slowly, answering the question that most Jellicles had in mind at the moment. Jemima fell down and cried out in pain. Seconds later, Victoria did the same.

The Jellicles all rushed forward. Jemima croaked, "Are we finally free?"

"No", Victoria answered, her lungs felt too tight. It was hard to talk, "We'll never be free."

Jemima felt the rain patter her relentlessly. Victoria chuckled quietly, "But in the end, we've won. Because you weren't able to keep us apart. We're together now. Forever and there's nothing you can do about it."

It hurt so much. Her sight became blurry and she felt weak. As they both sank into oblivion, Jemima whispered, "Look, the sky is crying for us."

Epilogue: Back to the Beginning

Years later

Bombalurina brought two young queens into Munkustrap's den. Years had passed since that day when Jemima and Victoria had died. Munkustrap had succeeded his father as Jellicle Leader. Admetus was Jellicle Protector. Electra, Cassandra and Exotica had left the Junkyard and Munkustrap let them, thinking that they'd be back. They hadn't returned.

Bombalurina sighed, "You need to explain to them, Munkustrap."

Munkustrap turned around and said, "Now, you two have to understand that queens don't love each other in the way you think."

The two kittens merely looked confused. Munkustrap sighed, but was determined that no one would get hurt this time.

He said, "Let me tell you a story. There were two queens, one named Victoria and the other Jemima and…."

A/N: Does the ending sound weird? It's meaning is that even after Jemima and Victoria have died, most Jellicles still don't get it. But Munkustrap isn't necessarily a "bad" guy, he's doing what he believes in and wants everyone to be safe in the end.

I'm not trying to say that if you're a gay or lesbian, the only way to be accepted is by running away or suicide. This story is saying that you shouldn't be afraid to be yourself and even in the end, if no one believes in you, at least be with someone who loves you freely. I hope this story sounded at least a little realistic and makes you think on this.
