Title: The Glitch Effect 7: Tom and Jerry
Chapter 24: To Catch a Mouse
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN TOM AND JERRY OR WRECK-IT RALPH. TOM AND JERRY BELONG TO HANNAH-BARBERA. WRECK-IT RALPH BELONGS TO DISNEY.
A/N: This story will mostly have Tom trying to catch Jerry with a few interventions from Vanellope. I'm thinking that this story will go for about 4 chapters.
Vanellope unlocked the cage and watched Tom and Jerry run amok.
Trap #1 – The Beginning
It all began on a blustery day when Tom spied Jerry coming out of his mouse hole. He watch Jerry's line of sight, followed it and saw Jerry looking at the piece of cheese he laid out so cunningly as a trap. But Jerry didn't know it or did he? That is the question. Jerry came out of his hole and scurried over to the cheese. Jerry sensed something and ran just before the trap closed on his tail. Tom snapped his fingers and went to lay out another trap. He gathered up a bowling ball, a baseball bat, some string and even a birds nest! He laid the trap out and put a piece of cheese on the end of a string. He then waited.
A few minutes later …
Trap #2 – The Vanellope
Jerry looked out of his hole and saw a scent trail come his way. He sniffed it and followed it to the piece of cheese. Jerry licked his lips as he looked at the tasty morsel. Tom licked his lips as well but for an entirely different reason. Jerry pulled the string and watched the trap come to life. The bowling ball began its long journey to a bellows and landed on it.
The bellows pushed out a puff of air that made the nearby fan turn and blow the baseball bat into the birds nest. That made the birds tweet so loud it made Tom's ears lay flat against his head. But the trap wasn't finished. Just as the birds were about to stop tweeting the baseball bat kept on swinging right into Tom's head. That made his head jiggle about a bit and you could a few rocks fall all over the place in his head. When his head finally stopped jiggling he looked at Jerry but the mouse was nowhere to be seen.
"Tom! Jerry!" Vanellope's voice rang out and they both stopped hitting each other.
"May I make a suggestion to Tom?" Tom nodded eagerly and Vanellope then shouted, "STOP FIGHTING!" That made Tom and Jerry clap their hands to their ears. Then they stumbled about for a bit and hit into each other repeatedly. Vanellope's high pitched laughter rang out. When she finally stopped laughing she said that she had to get some groceries. Tom had plenty of time to hopefully catch Jerry in the meantime.
Trap #3 – This Means War!
Tom made a paper aeroplane and flew it straight into Jerry's hole. Jerry was having a peaceful snooze when he felt a rush of air go past his whiskers. He sat up sleepily and blearily looked around. He then saw a white plane in his hole. It took up most of the room. He stomped out and angrily waved the aeroplane in front of Tom's face. Tom pointed to the plane, back to himself and he started to laugh. Jerry left the plane there and went to make his own. He went down into the basement of the house and started preparations for his comeback.
Tom was sunbathing outside with sunnies on and sunscreen. A white plane went past, close by his whiskers. Tom sat up immediately and felt his face. His whiskers were still there. Good. Tom stalked inside and went to prod Jerry but the mouse wasn't anywhere in the house. He checked the basement and a water balloon splashed onto his face. A dripping cat looked at Jerry and mewled. Tom stalked further into the basement and ended near a supply of bombs. Tom grinned evilly and started to make another one of his infamous traps.
Oh that Tom. Him and his infamous traps. What will happen next? Put what you think will happen next in a review.
