Chapter 4

~Friday~

Taking Dr. English's advice, Rave went home and straight to bed. He slept all through the night, and woke up feeling refreshed. He showered, had breakfast, and went over his script. Then he did the same the next day! He was really enjoying his break.

It wasn't until late in the day that Rave figured out something was wrong. He got a really bad headache while watching a movie on his laptop, and brought his hand up to rub it. It felt like something was trying to burst out of his skull.

And really, something was. He felt a pair of bumps on his head.

He sprang up and ran to the mirror, brushing his hair away and gasping as he noticed cartilage coming out of his skin. As if ears were forming there. Pointed, triangular ears.

Rave also had a pain in his lower back, and was afraid of what he'd see if he checked. But he did anyway. It was a tail. A tail was growing from his skin, producing tufts of fur.

"Fuck," he muttered.

And he knew why this was happening. He didn't want to admit it until now. He knew why that kitten had run away from Adeline. He knew why he felt uneasy when she grinned at the cat like that.

And he was about to experience it firsthand. Rave was becoming a cat himself. He had to fix this.

Slipping on a pair of shoes, a trench coat to hide his rapidly forming tail, and a fedora to hide the ears, he set off in search of the witch.

"What do I have to do?" Rave pleaded. "I'll do anything. Please! Stop me from turning into a cat!"

Rave had shown up at her door, obviously hiding his newfound accoutrements. Adeline had tried to shut the door in his face, but he pushed past her, not taking no for an answer.

"I don't think I can do that," she said smugly. "I'm off my rocker, remember?"

He sighed. "Look, ma'am, I'm really sorry. Just... What did you even do to me?"

She chuckled. "I cursed you, sweetheart. Say goodbye to your life as you know it because karma doesn't forgive. Should've gotten anger management classes when you had the chance."

"I'm sorry! I really am! Just please!"

"You don't mean it, child. You'd do it again."

She grabbed his wrist, yanking him toward a locked door. Grabbing the key off the hook next to the doorframe, she unlocked it and shoved him inside, turning on the light.

"Take a good look, James Bartlett! This here is your future!"

And Rave did just that. His jaw fell open as he took in the rows of cages full of skinny, filthy cats all rotting away in their cage-like feline bodies. All of them undoubtedly people she'd cursed. And he was next.

Distracted by his gawking, he flinched when Adeline slammed the door shut and locked it. He turned and beat at the door, screaming at the top of his lungs to be let out, and receiving no answer. Giving up, he sighed and slumped against the door. Rave was truly fucked.

Rave sat against the door for awhile, counting the seconds going by as he rubbed at his ever-growing ears. He'd given up, and the cats knew it as well. They decided it was time to help him.

One, an old, grey-haired cat, started meowing and scratching at the shelf under her to get Rave's attention. The actor looked up, and approached her.

"What is it?" he asked the cat, even though he knew she couldn't speak.

The old cat lifted her paw and pointed it to a corner. Rave turned, and spotted a small vent in the wall.

"You gotta be fucking kidding me," he groaned. "I'm not gonna fit through there. Are you out of your mind?"

The cat seemed to roll her eyes, and she gestured more persistently toward the vent.

"Ugh fuck! Fine! But you watch it won't work!"

What Rave had failed to notice, though, was that he was gradually getting smaller. He took the grate off the vent, and muttered a "yes!" as he crawled through.

He came out in a laundry room, and decided against going back for the cats just yet. He'd be back though. He'd have to anyway.

Running home, he could feel himself gradually shrinking and getting furrier. He could feel the clothes falling off of him, but he didn't worry because the fur was covering his privates as well.

Soon he was on all fours, clothes gone, and each "excuse me" and "pardon" he spoke as he wove past pedestrians came out as a meow. His fluffy black tail waved in the wind, and now, in his current size and state, it would take even longer to reach his dorm.

Unfortunately, he knew a certain flirty teal head who had an apartment in this part of town. He only knew that because Edd and Kevin are his roommates.

Standing in front of the door to their apartment, Rave knew he had no choice.

Author's Note Part Deux: Originally I had intended for Rave to just wake up as a cat. I didn't plan for Adeline to lock Rave up, but it was a nice turn of events yeah?

For the first time ever, I'm going to do a "next time on" okay? *deep breath* Okay guys here we go!

NEXT TIME ON THE CAT'S MEOW!

Nat gushes, Edd faints, Kevin nearly steps on a certain kitty cat, and Ed and Eddy want to strap a bottle rocket on Rave! Tune in to the next exciting installment of The Cat's Meow!

*whispers* That was fun :3
