Summary: A series of random one-shots, all humor, or at least my attempt at it. Some may be more funny than others.
The Power of Friendship! What if "Magical Mister Mistoffelees" wasn't Tugger's first idea after Macavity abducted Old Deuteronomy?
Please note: Pouncival's song should be sung to the tune of "Seasons of Love" from Rent.
Demeter carefully wound her way through the dark to get back to her mate's side. She had to get Munkustrap back on his feet if they were ever going to have a chance to get Old Deuteronomy back from Macavity.
"STOP!" The Rum Tum Tugger leapt dramatically in front of Demeter, paws outstretched, blocking her way to Munkustrap. "You shall not pass!"
She couldn't believe this. What did Tugger think he was doing? "Get out of my way, Munkustrap needs help."
"You won't get near him with your black magic!"
Demeter's mouth fell open. "Black…magic? Don't be ridiculous, it's just a bandage and some salve."
"Ha! You can't fool me!" Tugger puffed his chest out and towered over her. "We don't need your voodoo science. We will heal him…with the power of friendship!"
This was getting far too ridiculous. "Oh, let me through," Demeter tried to push past him, but he caught her and held her back.
"You are no longer needed, Sorceress! All we need is friendship-and Pouncival's lovely singing voice!"
On cue, Pouncival bounded up onto the tire, and sang with all his might-his voice very off-key and cracking at the high notes. "Five hundred, sixty-five, sixteen, six hundred minutes! Three thousand, splitting up biscuits seventy times! Five hundred, sixty-five, sixteen, six hundred minutes! Moments and measures, and…seasons of loooooooove!"
"There!" Tugger finally released Demeter and wiped a tear from his eye. "Now you'll see. He'll be fine."
Demeter just stared at Tugger and Pouncival for a moment. "I don't…I can't…I don't…what?"
"Demeter!" Tugger grabbed her again and shook her, frantically trying to make eye contact even though he was shaking her so hard her head was flopping back and forth. "She's not focusing! She must be injured! Quick! Pouncival! Second verse!"
"NOOOOOOO!"
Ummm…yeah…that was…I'll just go away now.
Credit for the "Power of Friendship" and "Lovely Singing Voice" jokes have to go to Little Kuriboh, creator of Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged on Youtube (account name CardGamesFTW). The man is absolutely brilliant...very much worth checking out.
