Chapter Two:
A/N: Ooh, what I failed to mention, is that the Clue that we ahem I mean, the cats are producing is like, the movie. Not the books. Not the board game. Not the videogame. The movie. Ok, carry on!
"Costumes?" asked a dumbfounded Jennyanydots, "Etcetera darling, we're cats we don't wear costumes… or clothes for that matter. And plus, how am I supposed to make three dresses, five suites, a poiliceman suite, and cook outfit and a maid outfit without taking forever to do it?"
"Oh, we've already thought about that," explained Etcetera, "The mice are going to help you."
"How did I know I was going to end up doing something like this?" sighed Mistofeleese. "You want me to do special effects. Ok. Can we be specific?"
"You know, like lightning and thunder and stuff like that," replied Victoria, "You have an easy job."
"Easy for you to say…" the magical tom muttered.
"Why do I have to be the gay guy?! I'm not gay!" whined Tumblebrutus. Electra giggled. "We mainly just wanted to see your reaction when we told you."
"I'm not gay! I promise! I'm NOT GAY!!!"
Rumpleteazer looked a Jemima skeptically.
"Ya. Want me. To be. Yvette?"
Jemima nodded. Rumpleteazer shook her head in disbelief.
"Whoi?"
"Because of your accent."
"Sorra ta bust ya bubble, but my accen' is faaaaar from being French."
"We know. But you'll still have a different accent from everybody else."
It took all four kittens to convince poor Exotica to be the telegram girl.
"Guys, I really don't think it's a good idea to make me the telegram girl…"
"Aww, come on Exotica! It's a small part! All you have to do is do a little jig and sing ' I am you singing telegram' and then fall to the ground. It's easy!" exclaimed Etcetera as Electra demonstrated. Exotica shook her graceful head.
" I get nervous guys… why don't you make Cassandra the telegram girl? We look enough a like…"
"Sorry kid, but I'm a backstage hand. And I'm happy with it," said Cassandra coming up behind them. And then she grinned, which was totally out of character for Cassandra.
"Not fair…" mumbled Exotica.
The kittens finally got to a point where they could hand out the scripts.
"Will all the actors and actresses please come over here so you can get your scripts?" shouted Etcetera from the tire as Jemima, Electra, and Victoria handed out the scripts.
"When does rehearsal start?" asked Demeter, who would be acting the part of Mrs. White.
"Today! Right after everybody get's their scripts!" exclaimed Etcetera.
It didn't take long to pass out the scripts to the 13 actors and actresses.
"OK! Let's get started!" shouted Etcetera.
The actors and actresses looked at the kitten blankly.
"Uh…"
"What do you want us to do? We haven't even read our lines…" said Bombalurina, who was going to be playing Miss. Scarlet.
" I know. We're just going to do it with the scripts until you all have the lines memorized," Etcetera said patiently.
The Jellicles looked at each other and shrugged. And then they all sat down to do a read through of the movie.
