DM Auditions and Rehearsals
''Meew'' Edith said, crawling on her hands and knees and rubbing against Gru's legs. ''Ok Edith dat will do'' Gru said, ''we'd better get going or we'll be late''. Margo and Agnes followed them outside to the Grumobile. Every year the AVL where Lucy worked put on a production play at the theatre.
When Gru had got a message from Lucy saying that more children were needed. Margo, Edith and Agnes had jumped at the chance to have roles for themselves. This year the AVL were doing the story of Dick Whittington.
Edith had heard the story at school. She was desperate for the role of Dick Whittington's cat. When they arrived at the there hall. Lucy was there waiting. She was the director of the whole play. Edith started to purr like a cat and hiss and scratch too. ''Aw sounds like someone's desperate to be the role of the cat'' Lucy said,
''Alright Edith you can play Dick Whittington's cat''. ''Awsome!'' Edith cheered. ''Margo, you can be Alice Fitzwarren'' Lucy told her. ''Oh what about me?'' Agnes asked. ''You Agnes'' Lucy said ''can be the cook''.
''Who's going to be de rats?'' Gru asked. ''The Minions!'' Lucy cheered ''they'll love it!''. Rehearsals took place over the next couple of weeks. At last the big night finally came. Gru had invited his mom, Antonio and Zita.
In the dressing room, Edith was having trouble with her costume. She couldn't fit the cat head on. ''Hurry up'' Agnes said, pulling on her sister's sleeve ''we're starting''. ''But this head's too small'' Edith moaned. ''Oh give it here!'' Margo said impatiently. She grabbed the head and jammed it down over Edith''.
''Mmmf'' Edith said in a muffled voice ''that's the wrong way round. I can't see!''. But Margo and Agnes didn't notice. They were already on Backstage.
Meanwhile Lucy noticed that Edith wasn't there. She hurried backstage to find out why. She saw Edith in the dressing room and grabbed her by the arm. ''Come on sweetie, you're meant to be on stage'' she hissed.
''But my head'' came the muffled voice. Lucy sighed, then tried to twist the cat head round. ''Oww stop it!'' Edith winced, ''that hurts''. The audience hooted with laughter. ''Is this meant to happen Mr Gru?'' Zita whispered.
''I don't think so'' Gru replied. ''it wasn't in de story at all''. ''I quite liked it though'' Antonio said. Just then with one final twist, Edith had her cat head the right way at last. The show could go on.
''Wow! Dat was really good'' Gru said, when the show was finished. ''Who would have thought we had such talented daughters?'' Lucy said.
