My very first Jellicle week entry! Woo hoo! Alright, here it is!
Mungojerrie walked near his house and saw the most remarkable thing.
"Will ya look at that," He said to Rumpleteazer. "It's a can o' paint!"
"Really? Should we do somefin' with it?" She asked eying the can.
"No, we should give it to Macavity as a birthday present. Of course we're gonna do somefin' with it!" Mungo replied. They pushed the can all the way back to the Junkyard until they were stopped by none other than Coricopat and Tantomille.
"What are you doing?" They asked in unison.
"Er...nofin'?" Mungo lied.
"Nothing, eh?" Tanto said as she circled the can.
"Roight, nofin'." Teazer said with a nervous smile on her face.
"Are you sure?" Cori asked.
Alright, Cori what should we do to...make them confess? Tanto thought to her brother.
I think I know, He thought back. They nodded to each other and planted a kiss on the twins.
Mungo and Rumple staggered for a bit until they bumped into each other.
"We were gonna paint the Jellicles." Mungo admitted.
Works every time, Tanto thought.
"Paint the Jellicles? Do you mean throw paint at them?" Cori asked as he winced.
"Yeah!" Teazer exclaimed.
Tanto bit her lip and said, "But...alright. Just don't let us get any paint on our fur."
Tanto, I thought we were supposed to get them to not do this! Now you're encouraging them? Cori thought.
Yes, Cori, I am. I really like him and what kind of a mate would I be if I discouraged him? Tanto thought crossing her arms. Cori just pouted.
"Alroight, let's get to it!" Mungo said triumphantly.
On top of Pouncival's rocking chair, Mungojerrie watched the kittens play.
"Alroight, on my mark, you fire the paint." He whispered.
Where's Pouncival? He's usually on this rocking chair, right? Tanto thought.
Cori replied, He's down there with Etcetera and Jemima playing tag. Why do these kittens obsess over tag? It's just some silly old—
"Fire!" Mungo yelled. Rumpleteazer threw the bucket of paint and it hit the kittens. They could hear them screech and the twins had a look of satisfaction of their faces.
"We dun good, roight? We dun good?" Rumple asked.
"Not yet. There's still heaps of paint in 'ere. So let's paint." He said as his eyes narrowed.
The adult cats looked appalled at the kittens.
"What is going on here?" Jellylorum asked.
"You need to get yourselves clean, dears." Jennyanydots scolded. Munkustrap was speechless. Paint? On the kittens? Not under his jurisdiction. Tugger and Bomba quietly giggled while Skimbleshanks and Asparagus tried to see who was doing the horrible deed.
"Fire!" Mungo yelled a little quieter. Rumple heaved the paint on Jenny, Jelly, Munkustrap and the other adults.
Still peering at the clearing, Mungo gave Teazer a high-paw.
"Alonzo...are we alone?" Cassandra asked.
"I think so." Lonz replied looking back to see if anyone was there. They started to kiss but they got pink paint all over their lips!
"What's going on? How did I get paint on me?" Cassandra asked. She examined her newly-painted fur and stomped off, Alonzo trailing behind.
"Alroight, so we have the adults, kittens, Cass and Lonz...is that it?" Mungo asked.
"Not quite." Tanto said. She grabbed the bucket and poured the last bit of it on Mungojerrie.
"Wot was that for?" He asked trying to keep the paint out of his eyes.
"This." She kissed him and got the paint on her face.
Mungo staggered around and said, "Boy, do Oi love paint."
Oh, Mungo and your staggering. Hoped you liked the first chapter! Chapter 2 will be up tomorrow!
