The Madcap Adventures of
Super Jerrie and Turbo Teazer
Faster than Macavity's speeding bullet
More powerful than Skimbleshanks' locomotive
Is it a bird?
Is it a plane?
Is it the Great Rumpus Cat (well, sort of)?!
HECK NO! It's
SUPER JERRIE!
And his sidekick TURBO TEAZER
*A giant J flashes onto screen*
Quaxo is sitting at home, eating a Twinkie, when the nice UPS Cat Mittens leaves a package at the door. He dusts chocolate crumbs off his fur, mosies over to the front door, and peeps out the peep hole. The package is HUUUUUUGE.
Quaxo: Wow! He looks at the package, then looks at himself. How am I going to manage that with my diminutive size?
He shrugs, pulls the HUUUUUUGE package inside, and sits upon it (to catch his breath, you know) Quaxo: Now I shall open it. He uses his smart Swiss Army Knife and cuts open the package. There is a note. An under the note IS A BRAAAAAAAAAIN!!!!
Quaxo: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! He catches his breath, than begins again. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
He silently prays that this is not his birthday present, then reads the note.
Back at Headquarters….
Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer are playing that strange and exotic game of "Pop Goes the Weasle." How it is played we do not know, but they certainly seem to be experts.
Rumpleteazer: Excited. It's my turn to pop Jerrie! She sucks in a big breath (preparing for her pop) when there is a knock at the door. Ahh noodles! They ruined ALL THE FUN.
Mungojerrie: I'll get the door! He bounds over to the door, and opens it. Tugger, distraught, rushes inside.
Tugger: Grabs Mungojerrie by the shoulders and shakes him violently. THE WORLD IS COMIN' TO AN END, MAN!
Mungojerrie: Confused. And where is the evidence?
Tugger: QUAXO HAS ESCAPED! Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer look confused. ALL THAT'S LEFT IS A HUUUUUUGE BOX!
Mungojerrie: Starting to panic. Well wh-where do you guess he went?
Tugger: We don't know! And to make things worse…
Mungojerrie and Rumplteazer, listening intently: Yeessss?
Tugger: J E M I M A I S G O N E T O O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mungojerrie: Puts hand on Tugger's shoulder. You need to leave. Has grave expression, and looks into the distance. This is quite a serious matter.
Later…
Mungojerrie has summoned the agents – Agent Coricopat, Agent Tantomile, Agent Macavity, and the newest member, Agent Electra. The fact that Jemima is missing (and Quaxo too, but no one really cared at the moment) is a big HAIRY deal. They think that something bad must be going on – foul play FOR SURE.
Agent Tantomile: This is a grave matter, indeed.
Agent Coricopat: Yes, indeed.
Agent Macavity: We need to start looking for clues.
Agent Electra: Nods in agreement.
Mungojerrie: Disturbed. What do you think happened to Jemima?
Agent Tantomile: Exchanges looks with Agent Coricopat, the same look that mothers give to fathers when they think that their children are in danger, but doesn't want to frighten them. I-I'm not sure, Super Jerrie.
Mungojerrie: Looks defeated, and turns to Rumpleteazer. Rumpleteazer?
Rumpleteazer: Yes, Jerrie?
Mungojerrie: I think it's time to turn into Super Jerrie and Turbo Teazer now.
Rumpleteazer: Serious. Yes, Jerrie, the time has come.
Mungojerrie: Jemima's disappearance is very grave indeed. This sounds like a job for…
SUPER JERRRIE!!!!
Rumpleteazer: And his sidekick TURBO TEAZAH!!!!
Mungojerrie transforms from the once everyday thief to man of steal, a hero which no one can defeat. He flips a switch on his suit which makes his cat-eye logo glow in the dark. He pulls on his mask, his cape, his super boots, and his dignity. Rumpleteazer floats high into the air. She pulls her super string and is no longer a stringy, stinky thief – yet she still gets gloves and a mask. She has replaced the light bulb in her cat eye logo, and flips on the switch. Her boots pull on with ease.
Super Jerrie: Shocked. Wow Teazer, nothing went wrong!
Turbo Teazer: Striking super hero-like pose with an official-like face. What did you expect, Jerrie? Nothing else could go wrong. Donky Kong keychain falls of her super suit. AWWW MAAAAN!
Super Jerrie: Don't worry, Teazer. Puts arm on her shoulder. Everything will turn out in the end.
Agent Macavity: That's right Super Jerrie. Turns to other agents. I think they're ready now, Agents.
Super Jerrie: Baffled. For what?
Agent Tantomile: You are ready for what we always planned to give you two. The Golden Earmuffs, a prizes amoung prizes, an honor above all others.
Super Jerrie: ………Is there symbolism?
Agent Coricopat: Oh yes, indeed! The earmuffs symbolize strength, Super Jerrie. Even in the coldest times, you kept warm. This shows that warmth. Let it always remind you of your courage, Super Jerrie, and you too, Turbo Teazer.
Super Jerrie and Turbo Teazer: Looking at each other. WOW!
Agent Tantomile: Shakes head to rid of sentimental feelings. Now, I think you both need to head out and look for clues. The other agents and I will look for clues here.
Super Jerrie: To Rumpleteazer. Let us take the Gettaway Car to Munkustrap's.
Turbo Teazer. Let's.
At Munkustrap's…
Munkustrap is walking through his house, freaking out but trying to stay calm. He is looking for Demeter's asthma inhaler because as soon as they got the news about Jemima, she went into a convenient panic attack. But this time he couldn't blame her. For someone so allusive to KINDNAP SWEET, PRECIOUS JEMIMA was very frightening – and potentially deadly.
Munkustrap: Repeating the same words he has been saying all day. No, no no no…
Tugger: Repeating the same words he has been saying all day, while helping to look for the inhaler. No, no no no…
Doorbell rings, and Tugger and Munkustrap jump back in fear, putting their hands to their hearts and breathing deeply.
Tugger: D-d-d-do you think we should…………answer it?
Munkustrap: Clears throat. Uhmmmm… As Jellicle Guardian he knows the answer, but…
Super Jerrie, the one on the otherside of the door, yells.
Super Jerrie: HEY GUYS, IT'S ME, SUPER JERRIE! Tugger goes forward to answer it, but Munkustrap holds him back.
Munkustrap: Don't go to answer it! Suspicious. It's probably a ploy…
Super Jerrie and Turbo Teazer eventually go to Jennyanydots' house.
Jennyanydots: Dears, do come in! Scowls. You haven't come to see me in QUITE a long time, especially since you began your life of saving the world. Tut tut tut. What SHALL I do with you?
Super Jerrie: Taking a sip of his tea. I guess you heard about Jemima –
Jennyanydots: Swallowing her sip of tea quickly. Oh yes it IS dreadful, isn't it? Perhaps the poor dear will be found soon.
Turbo Teazer: Still sullen. It is a very grave matter.
Jennyanydots: Yes dear, it CERTAINLY IS……
Back at Headquarters…
While the conversation above was happening, Agent Coricopat, Agent Tantomile, and Agent Macavity had had enough of Agent Electra who, discovering she could pick locks with her little finger, had destroyed many of the super secret (and super expensive) locks that held the most confidential items.
Agent Coricopat: To Agent Tantomile, quietly. Make her go AWAY.
Agent Tantomile: Sighing. I will do my best. AGENT ELECTRA! Agent Electra arrives. Why don't you go undercover as the villain you once were and look for clues that will help lead us to Jemima? There is a silent, but very obvious, protest from Agent Electra (who never liked Jemima in the first place.) But, as always, Agent Tantomile wins the argument and Agent Electra is sent out incognito. She looks up into the sky (quite expecting it to rain, because usually when she goes out that's what happens) and sees something in the sky…she goes to investigate.
Back at Jennyanydots'…
Our Superheroes have gotten got in a long conversation about felt capes for mice. They are trying to tactfully bow out, but are making very slow work of it…
Super Jerrie: Looking at watch. Well, look at the time, Teaz.
Turbo Teazer: Somewhat enjoying the conversation. That is a LOVERLY idea! How unique. Looks at Jerrie with a big smile, then realizes it is time to GO. NOW. Uh, Jenny?
Jennyanydots:…And I just told the lady at Walmart "Ma'am? Do you know that you are talking to a skilled proffesional in mice training?" And SHE replied… Suddenly there is a frantic knocking at the door.
Jennyanydots: Shaking her head. Tut tut tut, what NOW? She answers the door. Why, Munkustrap!
Munkustrap: Walking past Jennyanydots. Super Jerrie, come quickly!
Super Jerrie, with a tip of his hat to Jennyanydots, rushes out the door, with Turbo Teazer on his tail. Every Jellicle known to man is looking up at the sky. The twins see that Tugger has fainted, and for once DEMETER is fanning HIM awake. Super Jerrie is dreading what he'll see, but he looks up anyway. A large radiotower, with a big neon sign that reads "Istoffolis" when lighted up, has slowly risen on the horizon!)
Super Jerrie: Pondering. Istoffolis…Quaxo gone missing… He looked up at the sign again. One of the lights that lit up the letters was burnt out. What letter, though, WAS it? MISTOFFOLIS!
Turbo Teazer: Shaking Super Jerrie's arm. JERRIE! I'm scared! Suddenly, in the middle of that Jellicle Ruckus, Agent Electra comes running from the direction of the radio tower, waving her arms.
Super Jerrie: To Turbo Teazer. She's trying to tell us something! Agent Electra runs up, clicking and stomping her feet. You know who it is?
Turbo Teazer: IS IT A DOLPHIN? Agent Electra shakes her head. She puts her paw to her mouth and pulls it back and forth, her mouth still opening and closing.
Turbo Teazer: Snaps. I've got it! The person who took Jemima drowns on a regular basis!
Super Jerrie: I don't think that's who it is Teaz… Super Jerrie keeps thinking. Who could it POSSIBLY be? Agent Electra has finally given up trying to explain. Who could it be? All the Jellicles look up to the sky, and they see that a large speaker has imerged. What song does it begin to play?
Song: Sunlight through the trees in summer,
Endless masquerading!
Like a flower, as the dawn is breaking!
The Memory is fading…
Super Jerrie: I'VE GOT IT!
