Chapter 3: Catnip
Not wanting to call the fire department for fear of embarrassment, among other reasons, Rei and Tyson simply waited for the underwear to burn themselves out. In the meantime, Kai saw Max and recognized the song he was singing. He ran over and joined Max in his brutal mutilation of the Barney song.
Tyson and Rei looked at each other with unreadable expressions. It was so quiet, you could almost hear the wheels cranking inside Rei's head as he tried desperately to understand what was happening to his friends.
Half an hour later, the marshmallow filled undies had all dropped from the tree and although several were still smoldering, Rei picked them up with a rake and put them in a trash can.
"I don't know what Max and Kai are coming to. They seem so..." Rei was lost.
"Childish." Tyson finished for him. They glanced warily at the duo now chasing each other happily all over the yard.
"I've got no idea what's wrong with them." Rei heaved a sigh.
"Maybe it's just stress." the blue haired teen suggested. They walked inside without another word, deciding it would be best to leave the two hyperactive boys out of the house.
Rei went into the living room to have a cup of hot tea, trying to relax. Suddenly he sneezed. Five seconds later he sneezed again, and then again, and then again. 'What the heck?' Rei wondered.
"Two, three, four." Rei heard a voice. He peered down to see Max and Kaisitting on the floor and counting his sneezes with their fingers. Rei sneezed again.
"Five!" Kai declared gleefully, holding up four digits.
"Alright." Rei said stuffily (like when you have a cold). "There is something in this house that I am allergic to, and the only thing I can think of is a cat. Where is it?" Rei demanded.
The two boys sitting before Rei looked at him solemnly.
"We don't know." the pair said guiltily as Rei sneezed again.
"Guys! I'm home with that cat food and stuff you wanted." Tyson walked into the living room and dropped a huge back of cat supplies. Then he saw Rei staring angrily at him.
"I'm allergic to cats." he hissed.
"They paid me." Tyson pointed to Kai and Max who were now pulling things out of the bag at an unbelievable speed. (considering their minds had magically been reduced to the equivalent of a seven year old's).
Just then Rei's face twitched a little as the two boys on the floor pulled out a clear plastic bag. His ears moved and then, with a small poof, turned into long pointy cat ears. They swivelled back and forth. A large, poofy cat tail sprouted from Rei's backside and tiny fangs appeared.
He tried to move his mouth but all that came out was a meow. Fur began to grow all over him, he shrunk down to the size of a kitten, and mewed softly. He was covered in a pile of clothes that had once fit him. He batted at the cloth playfully until Tyson lifted it up off of him.
"Isn't he cute!" exclaimed Tyson, rubbing behind one ear. A deep rumbling came from Rei the kitten.
"He's purring. Can we keep him?" Max and Kai begged.
"It's not like we could get rid of him. Somewhere in that cat is Rei." Tyson replied in an awed voice, still amazed at the event the event that had just transpired.
"What exactly did you take out of the bag before he turned into a cat?" he asked curiously.
"This." Kai said proudly and held up a bag of, you guessed it, catnip.
"Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to buy that stuff. Speaking of, there must've been another cat or kitten here for you guys to get it all. Where is it?"
As if in response to Tyson's question, a small, black and white kitten emerged from behind a couch.
"Meow." it rolled over on its back, telling all three that it was a female.
Rei the kitten walked over to her and sniffed her face. Then he walked over to Kai was and rubbed his neck against the bag of catnip. Kai laughed and put some of the catnip inside a little ball. Minutes later, Rei Rei (as they had deemed their formerly human friend) and Mariah, the female kitten were friskily pawing it back and forth.
"Why Mariah?" Tyson had asked.
"Because Rei Rei likes Mariah and they should be together." Max answered with a grave expression on his face.
Just then Rei Rei stopped and walked over to Tyson's shoe. He lifted his leg and a small stream of yellow shot out onto the shoe. Kai and Max giggled slightly before returning their attention to Mariah.
Tyson sighed and went to go find some napkins to wipe it up.
"This is going to be a long, long day." he muttered.
The end! I seriously think this was funny, but don't judge my sense of humor. (Its horrible. I could think pudding was funny if someone said that word) Read and review! (Five this time) Well, Rei is a cat, Kai and Max have been reduced to pipsqueaks, and poor Tyson is the only one left normal. That will soon change, however. He he he.
