Early the next morning - 11:59 to be precise - Raoul came to see Thom in his rooms.
"Good morning Thomasina!" said Raoul brightly. "I was wondering if you would like to go walking with me on this fine morning?"
"It's too EARLY!" moaned Thom.
"Um, it's 11:59, actually." Corrected Raoul.
"Oh. I'd love too!" cried Thom, delighted by the idea of being courted by a bloke.
"Let's go to the Movie Menagerie, and look at all the animals." Raoul suggested.
"Okay, just let me change."
Thom re-emerged a few minutes latter wearing tight, metallic jeans with glitter down the sides and a halter neck top which was covered in electric blue sequins.
"Um, what are you wearing Thomasina?" asked Raoul.
Thom looked down at his outfit. "Yes, I guess it is a bit ahead of time, isn't it. I'll go change."
The door opened not long after to reveal Thom wearing a knee length dress with one shoulder strap, made out of what appeared to be some sort of animal skin.
"Thomasina, I mean no offence, but you look like a cave woman!" cried Raoul.
"Maybe this one is a bit old. Hold on a second." And he disappeared to change once more.
When Thom opened the door this time, he wore a cream coloured shift under a floor length dress in a shade of pale blue. "Better?"
"Much better."
Raoul gave Thom his arm and Thom placed his hand on the offered arm, and they were off.
It wasn't long before they came to the Door to the Menagerie. "This is the Door to the Menagerie!" exclaimed Raoul with delight.
"Wow! I wonder what kind of Animals we'll find inside?" wondered Thom.
"Uh, yeah. Animals." Said Raoul, his eyes darting from side to side.
Raoul opened the Door to the Menagerie and a wailing voice met their ears. The source of the voice was soon discovered to be a small donkey wandering about his enclosure.
"'Cos I'm all alone,
There's no-one here beside meeeeee.
My troubles have all gone
There's no-one to deriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide meeeeee.
But you gotta have frieeeeeeeeee - "
"STOP SINGING!!!!!" cried Raoul to the Donkey. "Sorry about him," he said to Thom, "He dose that occasionally."
"Pwaaaah! What stinks?" said Thom as they approached the next enclosure.
"Sorry." Said a warthog tearfully.
A meerkat patted him on the shoulder. "There, there Pumbaa. It's okay. If the lady knows whats good for her, she wont insult you again." He said, glaring at Thom. Thom backed away slowly.
Along the corridor an ape named ape was caged in a cage. Before him a game of chess was set up. "Fancy a game of chess Raoul?" asked the ape. "Oh, sorry, you've got company. Uh, Ooh oooh ahh ah ahh!" the ape hooted.
Around the corner was an enclosure that was completely black and white. Thom looked closer and discovered they were actually dogs!
"These are our 101 Dalmatians," explained Raoul.
"Are you sure there's 101?" asked Thom.
"Yup!"
"Well, I'll just check. 1, 2, 3, 4..."
Sometime later...
"100, 101, 102!"
"You counted that one twice." Stated Raoul.
"My mistake. 101 it is."
The next enclosure held a strange looking man wearing a green, white and purple... thing.
"Sir! Release me now! This is not dignified treatment of a space ranger! I am not an animal! I'm warning you! My laser is currently set to stun, but I can change that!" The man flipped a covering off his wrist and aimed a tiny blinking light bulb at Thom and Raoul.
Raoul sighed. "Buzz, we've been through this before. Under chapter 6, paragraph 9, section 2 of The Compact Menagerie Handbook, available at all good bookstores, Space Rangers ARE classified as animals. I can't change it, you can't change it, and as long as it holds true, we can keep you here. It's that simple!"
Buzz grumbled t himself as Thom and Raoul moved off through the rest of the menagerie.
By the time they reached the end, Thom had seen a pig named Babe, a crab who claimed to be a symphony orchestra conducter, a winged horse, some strange creatures Raoul called ewoks, a mouse with big black ears and red shorts, a big grey shaggy bear who was singing about something he called the 'bare necessities', a couple of green slimy things with tentacles called Kang and Kodos, a tiger, sorry, Tigger with a very bouncy tail, and a beast. (A/N Extra brownie points to anyone who knows where all the animals are from.)
On their way out of the menagerie, Raoul tripped over Thom's Secret Fairy Diary With Matching Padlock. Pulling himself upright again, he came face to face with Alanna.
"Hi Alan! I was just showing your sister here the menagerie."
"Sis - Ohhhhhhhh. Sister. Yes. My sister." Alanna coughed. "Well, actually, I was going to ask Thom - asina if h - she would like to go down to the city with I - me."
"Squire Alan and #%&%@ Prince Jonathon can show us the #%*(*(#@ sights, and then we can go shopping for )^$!!$& a new dress for you to wear tonight." Rowena explained to Thom.
"That sounds fantastic! Thankyou very muchly Sir Raoul." And off they went.
