Mungojerrie
was awoken by busy workers who obviously were heading off to work. He
groaned as he tried to stand up, but failed miserably as he fell
down. He heard a high pitched giggle which could only mean one
thing.
'I'm glad you had a good night sleep Rumpleteazer' A
young fiery redhead with the freckles came out from behind the
garbage pouting.
'I wanted to surprise you. How did you know it
was me?' Jerrie chuckled at his sister.
'Your laugh is an
exquisite individual and could never been mistaken for any other.'
Teazer stopped for a few seconds, figuring out what Jerrie had just
said. She nodded when she finally figured it out. 'Well, I guess
it's off to another day of entertaining the public.' Teazer
nodded enthusiastically and clapped their hands as they headed to the
park. Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer were seventeen years old and they
ran away from home when they were twelve. They spend their days
trying to earn money to survive by using their skills, and if that
didn't work, they'll simply steal some. It was all quite simple
really. When they arrived at the park, they immediately started to
work on the act. It didn't last very long because it started to
rain heavily.
'Oh poop' Teazer cried as she crossed her arms.
If there was one thing that Teazer hated, it was the rain. 'Now
what are we supposed to do?' Jerrie laughed at Teazer being so
upset over a bit of rain. 'What's so funny?' She hated it when
Jerrie laughed at her for no reason.
'You're just so adorable
when you're upset.' Teazer stared at him evilly for a second, but
then laughed.
'I'm adorable when I do just about anything.'
She stated which Jerrie nodded too. To him, she always looks like a
five year old. It started to rain heavier and thunder appeared when
Mungojerrie had a brilliant idea for them to go.
'Why don't we
go to the coppers place? It's always warm and toasty in there.
Plus, I heard they're getting a new recruit today'
'That's
a brilliant idea Jer! We haven't been there in ages!' Teazer
exaggerated on the a.
'What are you talking about? We were just
there the other day?' Jerrie asked confused.
'I mean under our
own free will. Not you getting arrested for stealing and me coming in
to bail you out.' Teazer replied simply.
'Oh yeah, I was meant
to ask you about that. Where did you get the money?' Teazer just
giggled and said nothing. Jerrie sighed; he hated it when Teazer did
bad things. They have formed a bit of a bond with the coppers.
After
a while of walking, they finally got to the police station and it was
still bucketing down. When they went in, they immidiatley felt warm
and a timid young man appeared.
'M-may I help you?' he asked.
It was obvious he was the new guy. Teazer came up to him and gave him
a gigantic hug.
'Hello and welcome to your new job at Little
Belloes police station, or as it is often referred to, the coppers
place. I am Mungojerrie and this is my younger sister Rumpleteazer.
Yes, we know, weird names. You shall be seeing us regularly because
of our, er, habits. We hope you have a great time working with the
extraordinary people who work here.' The new guy looked confused as
they said all this.
'I'm Alonzo' he said and stared at them
blankly.
'Where's Rob? I want to see how his big date went
last night' Teazer laughed but before Alonzo could say anything,
Teazer started to skip away to a random empty desk and sat down.
Alonzo stared at her before staring at Jerrie. Jerrie began to feel
uncomfortable so he decided to go and sit next to Teazer.
When
he sat on the desk, a cheerful man appeared. Teaze jumped up and ran
over to him enthusiastically.
'So, how was the big date?' she
asked.
'It was amazing. I really think Demeter's the one. You
know?' Teazer smiled and gave him a huge hug. She liked hugs, they
make her feel nice. Jerrie came up and gave him a pat on the
back.
'Good on ya mate.'
'Thanks Jer.' Jerrie looked
outside and noticed that it had stopped raining.
'Well, I'll
guess we'll be seeing you guys later' Teazer and Jerrie were
almost out when they heard a deep
'Mungojerrie, can you come
here for a second?' They turned to see the captain standing in
front of a door leading into his office.
'Sure, I guess.
Teazer, you can go and set up the "stage" and I'll be right
there.' Teazer nodded and ran away. Jerrie walked cautiously to the
captains office and sat down on the chair.
'Mungojerrie, it has
come to our attention that you are a gifted young man.' Jerrie
nodded, he had always been smarter then most people he knew,
sometimes even the captain. 'Well, we all pitched in and well,
you're going to Yale.' The captain almost laughed. Jerrie just
sat there in disbelief, he started to smile.
'Wow, me and Tea..'
he got cut off by the captain.
'No, I'm sorry but Rumpleteazer
can't go with you to Yale.' Jerrie stopped smiling.
'Then
I'm not going. There's no way I'm leaving her alone.'
'But
she won't be alone. We'll look after her. I can't see why you
won't let anyone besides you look after Rumpleteazer.' Jerries
expression dimed.
'It's a complicated issue ok!' he growled
and started to leave.
'Hey' Jerrie turned around and caught a
giant sandwich the captain threw to him. 'Just think about it, ok.'
'Ok.'
When
he arrived back at the park, he spotted Teazer doing some of her
acrobatic tricks with the mangy old hat in front of her.
'How
much money do we have so far?' he enquired while tearing the
sandwich in half.
'How should I know?' Teazer replied, trying
not to break her concentration. Jerrie glared down at the
hat.
'$7.90. Not bad.' He said while taking a bite of the
sandwich. Teazer stopped her trick and stood up stretching.
'How
did you figure that out?' she asked but Jerrie just shrugged. She
just had to live with the fact that her brother was smarter then her.
After taking a bite out of her sandwich, she noticed that something
seemed to be worrying him. 'What did captain have to say to you?'
she asked.
'Nothing' Jerrie replied, avoiding her glare.
'Please Jerrie, tell me.' Teazer cried, she hated it when
Jerrie kept secrets. Jerrie looked at her and chuckled.
'I
promise you Tea, it's nothing.' He had made his choice. There was
no way in hell he would leave his baby sister.
Yes, I know. Sucky ending. Please review anyway. Ideas for other characters are very much appreciated.
