THE JUNKYARD
The Jellicles were lounging in the Junkyard completely unaware of what was going on just a few blocks away . . .
Demeter screamed and tried to shield Jemima from Macavity. Macavity growled and grabbed Demeter by the throat, slamming her against the alley wall. There was a flash of lightning. No, three flashes of lightning. One hit Demeter, one hit Jemima, and one hit Macavity. All three were momentarily stunned. The black and white tabby watching from the shadows turned tail and ran toward the Junkyard without a second glance. He had to get help!
"What the . . ." Carrie glanced down at herself. She had black and ginger fur . . . White underbelly and claws . . . "I'm a friggin cat!" She screamed, and looked up as someone moaned with pain. Demeter or Sarah had just kicked Macavity or Jareth right where he lived. Jareth fell to the floor moaning in pain while Sarah rubbed her soar neck.
"Bastard!" She hissed. She studied herself. "Wait a second . . ." Carrie glared at her. "Carrie?"
"In the fur sweet heart! This is all your fault!" Sarah shrugged.
"Ooopes?" Jareth moaned.
"Jareth?"
"What?" He squeaked.
"Um . . . sorry." Sarah said, helping him up.
"MACAVITY!" Someone growled. Carrie, Sarah, and Jareth all looked up.
"Huh?"
"Release our Jellicles now!" Said a silver and black tabby. Sarah slapped her forehead.
"Jeez! Jareth, YOU'RE Macavity! They think you're trying to kill us . . . I think."
"Why would I do that?"
"Because Macavity's the bad guy! Just let me handle this!" She whispered to him. "Munku sweet heart! It's ok! Cool you're jets! Mac's on our side." The Jellicles looked at Demeter, stunned.
"But, Demi! He tried to kill you! He rapped you and forced you to have kittens with him! He . . ."
"Um, no he didn't! We're, ah, mates! Ya! We're mates." The Jellicles jaws, could they have dropped that far, would have gone strait to China. "Isn't that right . . . Sweetheart?" Sarah circled her arm around the Goblin King's waist and pinched his back hard. He winced and nodded. Sarah turned and gave the Jellicle's a wide grin.
"But you said . . ."
"I didn't want you to be mad at me. Mac's really a nice guy!"
"But Demi . . ."
"Please let him stay!" Sarah jumped in before Munkustrap could finish. Munku turned to the tribe then back to Sarah. He opened his mouth to say something but was cut off again.
"THANK YOU! You're the best! Come on Mac, Jemima! Lets go home." Sarah said, grabbing Jareth and Carrie and pulling them away from the tribe.
"Demeter, the junkyards the other way!"
"But we live in the lair!" Sarah shouted back, not sure who she was talking too, but knowing they had to get out of there and fast. As soon as they were safely at a distance Sarah threw herself back against the wall and slipped to the floor, breathing hard. "Oh my gosh!" She grinned and looked up at Carrie and Jareth. "That was a close one!" The two glared at her stonily and the smile slipped from her face. "Oh come on guys! Like you could have done any better?"
"But we weren't the ones to wish that the JELLICLES would come and take us away! Of all the stupid, I swear to . . . YOU'RE HOPELESS!" Carrie screamed. Sarah rolled her eyes.
"Talk about a boost to the ego! Speaking of ego . . . How's his majesty holding up over there?" Carrie and Sarah turned to were Jareth had been standing. He was gone. "Crap!" Sarah hissed. "Jareth?" Suddenly a trash can began to thrash around. Sarah jumped back, then grinned. "I see we've gotten our selves stuck!"
"Not quite." Jareth replied calmly from behind her.
"WHAT THE . . . Don't do that!" Sarah and Carrie screamed.
"Sorry." Jareth said distractedly. He was reading something.
"All right! Lets try this again." Sarah said. "I wish the . . ."
"Starlight Express?" Jareth said, temporally drowning out Sarah's voice.
" . . . would come and take Jareth, Carrie, and I away. Right now!"
"Oh no!" Carrie groaned. The three disappeared.
