The Lost Race of Middle Earth Part 3:The Technicolor Dreamcoat
An hour or two before dawn Aragorn stole Boromir's horn and announced their departure. However, it took till a little while after dawn to get all the Jellicles up and ready to leave Fangorn. Old Deuteronomy, Boromir, Jennyanydots, Jellylorum, and Etcetera, Pounce, Tumble, Carbucketty, Victor, and George, the younger kittens, stayed behind in the Junkyard. The other Jellicles, however, picked up swords and what provisions they could find for their journey.
The most interesting part of it all, however, was clothing the Jellicles. The Junkyard hadmany discarded pieces of cloth and they used these to the best of their ability to make tunics with rough rope belts. After holes were inserted for tails and possibly ears, everyone set off at last, with sad goodbyes and a little anger on the pat of the young kittens.
"They left me alone with you five!" Etcetera shrieked at the young toms, who just gave her an evil grin.
"Hey! Do you guys remember Aragorn saying that two hobbit folk had gone to Mordor to destroy the ring?" A small kitten, who looked a lot like Pounce, asked.
"Yes," answered Victor, a little frustrated still about this morning, "but what does that have to do with anything?!"
"We'd be quicker then two of those little folk, wouldn't we?" he asked, then George, another kitten, caught on.
"Yeah, we could catch up to them in a while, although who would know if it would take a couple of months or more." He explained, a little worried, yet excited.
"Let's grab our things and head off tonight." Carbucketty suggested, revealing the map that had given him the idea.
"You are clever sometimes, aren't you?" Etcetera asked with a smile.

The Jellicles, Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli had been travelling for a while now, and they had come to an old staircase in a hill. The Jellicles tensed as they were approached and were suddenly blinded, along with the other three. When they opened their eyes they saw.
"Sarumon!" Gimli howled, charging at him with his axe. After all three had charged him and failed, they realized that this wizard was wearing a coat, vibrant and made of all colors of the rainbow.
"I may have been lost without my map, but Gandalf seems to have strayed into the wrong musical!" Aragorn laughed.
Annoyed, Gandalf slipped off the coat sending all the Jellicles into 'oohs' and 'ahhs'.
"Personally, I liked the gray." Gimli announced, staring at the shining white robes Gandalf now wore.
"Where is Boromir?" Gandalf asked.
"He was accepted by the Jellicle tribe last night. It turned out dying gave him one heck of a voice and he could dance, too." Legolas replied, a little jealous that Boromir could sing better then him. "Show off." he muttered under his breath.
"How did you. it was you!" Misto piped up, understanding.
"Which thing are we referring to my dear boy?" Gandalf smiled.
"With Boromir?"
"Well, I do believe, yes it was my idea that you should have him rather then, oh say, Isoldor."
Misto raised his swooshed black eyebrows, "Thank you."
In reply, Gandalf whistled and three horses quickly appeared, a silver one slowing his blistering pace until he stopped right in front of Gandalf and nuzzled his neck.
Aragorn and Legolas mounted, each on one of the remaining horses and Gimli mounted with Gandalf.
"Can you keep up?" Aragorn asked Munkustrap.
"Of course." Munkustrap replied, sounding like he resented the question.
The large group, mounted four leading, quickly made for the city of Edoras.
****************
"Oh what a circus, oh what a show! Edoras has gone to town over the arrival of the Jellicle Cats!" The guards began to sing to the tune of 'Oh What A Circus' from Evita, to which the Jellicles responded, continuing the song.
"They've all gone crazy, they've all gone mad."
The guards responded, "And we owe it all to these Jellicle Cats!" They struck an ending pose, and the company began to walk up the steps to the hall.
Legolas began to sing, and, by the way, he did have a very good singing voice, "But who is this great king of Rohan? For we have travelled far to met him."
The Guards went stiff, and on one monotone note they sang, "He is waiting for you, go in!"
They entered the hall of the king of Rohan, walking slowly and purposefully towards the king. Jemima ran forward and poked Theodin.
"He's not dead yet, is he?"
Aragorn got this odd look and burst into song, to the tune of 'High Flying Adored' from Evita, "High flying adored! The king, why don't you get up?"
Legolas took over, shoving in front of Aragorn to steal the spotlight, "A rich, elderly king." he was about to go on, but one of Aragorn's crazy phases happened and Legolas found himself being beaten.
Gandalf, seeing that things were going nowhere real fast, took matters into his own paws, er. I mean hands, and to follow form he began to sing to the tune of 'Herod's Song' form the musical Jesus Christ Superstar, he cracked his staff on the floor and began, "Theoden I am overjoyed to see you once again. I've brought you a message of the peril of your land. Orcs invading! Evil left and right! And now Grima Wormtongue has begun to steal your mind!"
Theoden stared at him, but continued the song by singing in his old man voice, "So you bring bad news, that is all you can do."
Grima Wormtongue stuck his nose in taking up the tune, "Gandalf Stormcrow is not cool, Gandalf Stormcrow is a fool!"
Gandalf knocked Grima over "You're a pathetic lyricist," he hissed out of the corner of his mouth, but then sang at Theoden, "You must banish this snake! He is poisnin' your mind, come on Kind of Rowhan!" Suddenly all singing ceased and arguing began.
So Gandalf did some flashy funny buisness with his staff, and Theoden came to his senses. When he stood up and threw Grima out, the Jellicles all ran towards him, cheering. The let out one note, as if to sing, but before they could continue, Gimli bellowed at them.
"No more singing!!!!"
(Amen to that!)
