Whoops. Was going to write this in the morning when brain was still functioning. After that much time with Hornet (internet name. We don't give out other people's identities, like in Spongebob :D) my brain is fried.
Gah! Robot love song came up again! Why? WHY?
Song that I will attempt: Sk8r Boi - Avril Lavigne (before she turned to the dark side of pop. I used to be able to tolerate her. No longer). Scarlet's line about Avril Lavigne: No, no, no, it's not What The Hell BY Avril Lavigne, it's what the hell HAPPENED to Avril Lavigne.
This song has been hideously overdone, I realize this, but... it's my iPod's fault. I only kept it on my iPod to think back to the days of 2009 (2008? When did this song come out?), when pop was bearable. No longer.
Ah... uh... ah... I used to have a friend on Youtube. She made a Cats video using this song. Then they took her account away and deleted all her videos. I'm using what I remember of her video as inspiration for this.
So, following what I remember of her video, kind of Rumpleteazer's P.O.V.
No accent. I am not Cockney accent-ing the whole song. Not at almost one in the morning.
He was a boy. Mungojerrie. He's more of a tom than a boy, but whatever.
She was a girl. Victoria. The silent, graceful queen, ever capturing toms' hearts, even now, when hers has been taken. By... well, me, I guess. Us, really.
Can I make it any more obvious?
He was a punk, Even without me there, thieving with him, they wrote him off as a skater boy, always up to no good, certainly not good enough for queen Victoria, oh no.
She did ballet. Dance, dance, dance. That's what she does. All the time. Or, she used to anyway, according to Jer.
What more can I say? Jerrie said he had really liked Victoria, and my sources said she like him very much. But, even knowing so little about this Victoria character, I suppose I can see why people said them being together was a bad idea. But really, it was her decision... she shouldn't of come crying to us later.
He wanted her,
She'd never tell,
Secretly she wanted him as well.
From what I know, Victoria was like a human 'plastic', or one of those perfect popular girls who rely on "friends" to make every decision for them. So she asked them what they thought of her dating Mungojerrie.
But all of her friends,
Stuck up their nose,
They had a problem with his baggy clothes.
Jerrie told me that it was heart-crushing, at first, like his heart had just been smothered and ground up into little pieces. He said that's when he left, made a life for himself, changing from cat form to human form.
He was a skater boy,
She said 'see you later, boy',
He wasn't good enough for her.
She had a pretty face,
But her head was up in space,
She needed to come back down to earth.
Then all of a sudden Mr. Skater Boy went to Mr. Superstar Guitar Boy. Insane, really, for a mutant like Jellicles are, but it only made it more ironic. The name of Jer's band? The Cat Eyes. Yep. Mr. Humorous, too.
Five years from now,
She sits at home,
Feeding the baby she's all alone.
Jerrie had found out from one of his old Tribe friends that Victoria had deemed Plato worthy of her attention, managed to get pregnant from him, and he went and dumped her. Jer said it was oddly fulfilling for something so awful, but what is he supposed to feel at something like that?
She turns on TV,
Guess who she sees?
Skater boy rockin' up MTV.
Jer said it made him feel smug, too, when he learned that's how Victoria found him after five years. Smug Mungojerrie can be quite amusing when it's not you he's feeling smug over.
She calls up her friends,
They already know,
And they've all got tickets to see his show.
She tags along,
Stands in the crowd,
Looks up at the man that she turned down.
Jerrie knows this because, when everyone was entering the space they were performing, he caught site of one of the queens from the Junkyard (in human form, obviously). Electra, he says her name is. One of the more quiet, peaceful ones.
He got ahold of her after they performed, and she told him all this, hugged him, muttered that Victoria missed him, and that she was there.
He was a skater boy,
She said 'see you later, boy',
He wasn't good enough for her.
Now he's a superstar,
Slamming on his guitar,
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
And then, Miss Perfect Blonde found them outside. Around the same time I did.
Oh, yes, somewhere inbetween Victoria crushing his very essence and the day I speak of now, Mungojerrie and a short, red-head girl started talking in a Starbucks. (I'm a growing girl. I need my caffeine) He ends up asking the girl if she believes in things that aren't quite... human.
The girl grins at him and says, "More than you'd believe."
Turns out boy and girl are of the same species, different from probably everyone else in the Starbucks.
Mungojerrie and girl are both half-cat, half-human, with the ability to switch between the two.
Mungojerrie is delighted at finding someone like him. I didn't know, at the time, that he was in this semi-famous band (they weren't too big at that point), and when he tells me, I stare at him, for a while.
But Jer and I started getting closer, going out... you humans know the routine.
Then there was a bit of a horror scene when his potential soulmate meets the one who probably is (not to brag, or anything).
"Jerrie!" She practically screeches, wrapping her arms around his neck. It's then that I step out of the doors, excited to see him again, and then practically do a double take.
I raise my eyebrows at him when my thought process restarts.
Over her head, his eyes meet mine, and they're both apolegetic and confused.
I make my way over, nodding at the dark-haired girl (who turns out to be Electra) who's also taking in the scene.
When the blonde girl that I didn't know released my boyfriend, I stepped closer to him, and he wrapped his arm around my shoulders.
"Er... Victoria," he says, adressing blonde girl, "This is Rumpleteazer - one of us. Teaze, this is Electra and Victoria, from... my old home."
I raise my eyebrow at the two of them, skinny, feral looking. Yeah, they're Jellicles, alright. Then I get it. "Oh... This is the psychopath-"
"Please shut up," he says quietly.
I almost laugh. But then decide that would be bad when near psychopath who turned Mungojerrie down.
Her blue eyes study the two of us as icily as possible when being glazed over by tears. "I see how it is," she says coldly, and turns and walks away.
Electra gives both of us an apolegetic glance, then hurries off.
"Why is it," Jer mutters, "I can't see that girl and have a peaceful state of mind?"
"Because, she's obviously a superficial psychoslut."
He laughs. "Thank God she broke my heart," and he kisses me, causing various claps and noises from crowd that I had all but forgotten about during that scene. I suppose adoring followers of his band don't just disappear.
Sorry girl but you missed out. Too bad that you couldn't see,
Well, tough luck, that boy's mine now.
We are more than just good friends,
This is how the story ends.
See the man that boy could be.
There is more than meets the eye,
I see the soul that is inside.
That brings me to current day. Jer is preparing for another show, and I'm sitting on the couch, trying to decide what to write here. Including the new song, of course. One that Jer and I wrote together.
He's just a boy, a mutant, superstar boy, yes. More or less.
And I'm just a girl, another mutant, with a ton of luck, and totally, completely in love.
Can I make it any more obvious?
We are in love,
Haven't you heard?
How we rock each other's world?
I follow him with my eyes. Red hair spiked up, faded red T-shirt and jeans, black sneakers. It's kind of weird this is what he wears for concerts, but hey, it works. He grabs his sleek guitar and says, "You staying here?"
"Yep. Come find me when you're done. Don't get attacked by any psychosluts without me there to defend you."
He grins and closes the door, laughing.
I'm with the skater boy,
I said 'see you later boy,
I'll be backstage after the show.
I'll be at the studio,
Singing the song we wrote,
About the girl you used to know...'
[A/N] Am having thoughts of Scarlet shaking her head in disappointment at me doing this song... e.O It's iPod's fault, Scarlet, do not beat me with a Cyndaquil again!
