Ok, I finally got a review from someone other than Rhia!! THANK YOU SO
MUCH!!! Please keep reading and tell others about this story!!!
Rhia was deep in slumber when a nagging voice broke the tranquility. "Rhia, come on, wake up!! You will never believe this." She groaned, "Jus' five more minutes, Mom. I don' wanna go t' school." A hard shove and a quick kiss on the lips was her only answer. Her eyes snapped open and she grinned. That wasn't her mom, that was Alex.
Rhia looked into his bright blue eyes and kissed him back. "Good morning. So, what's the big hurry?" Alex grinned and pointed to the front of the cage. There, clinging to the poles was a purple and pink stripped cat that appeared to have come right out of Alice and Wonderland. It cocked its head to one side and gave them a grin so wide that it disappeared behind its ears. "Hello young folk." it said cheerfully, and with a bit of mirth, "You seem to have gotten yourselves into a bit of trouble."
In unison, both Alex's and Rhia's mouths dropped open. Alex gasped, "You can talk? In English?!" The cats' grin faded instantly into an arrogant pout. "I should find that rather obvious." Suddenly, a small, furry blue head popped between his ears. "Yea, rather obvious!" it squeaked, trying valiantly to pout as well as the cat. Rhia giggled in delight. "Oh, he's so cute! Can we keep him?"
The cat replied, "Sure, take him. Bartholomew is more of a pain that anything else." He reached back and grabbed the mouse by his tail and began to pull him up over his head. The little fuzz grabbed onto the cats' neck fur with its front paws, holding on until it was vertical. "No! No!" it protested, "Me neva, eva leave Cha'lie!!" with a sigh, the Cheshire released the little rat with a twang which sent it flying onto his back. An evil cackle sounded from deep within the poor cats fur. "Me stay fo' foeva an' eva an' eva an' me neva lets go!!" The cat rolled its eyes and grunted, "Well, it was worth a shot. By the way, this is Bartholomew, also known as Brolo, and I'm Charlie. We want to help you."
"Well, that's great!" Alex said, still a little bit in shock. "Um, how?" Charlie shook his stripped head. "Not now. It is too early and I haven't eaten. We'll come back at night." And with that, he leapt into a nearby tree. Brolo poked his head over one of Charlie's' ears and said, "Tootles!" just as they went out of sight. Alex and Rhia took one look at each other and burst out laughing.
Ok. I just had to add some humor. These are permanent characters, just so you know. This is for Cheesy-Cookie and Dark Man!!
