Chapter 2: Getting To Know You

Enjy: WE NEED A LEADER!

Bill Sikes: I agree! I should be it!

Enjy: No, no! We need to have a democratic vote. All in favour of Bill Sikes, raise their hands!

(Only Bill raises his hand. At this point, the entire ABC Society enter the room I have locked them in.)

Enjy: All in favour of me, raise their hands!

(All of the people in the room, apart from Bill, raise their hands.)

Enjy: OK, that looks like the majority.

(Bill gives him a dirty look.)

Eppie: (to herself) One more day all on my own…

Dodger: Is that all you say?

Gavroche (who shall now be known as Gavvy): Leave my sister alone!

Dodger: No!

(The two boys launch into battle. Sighing, Eppie and Nancy come forward and separate them.)

Eppie: Are we going to get the authoress back or not?

Gavvy: For what?

Eppie: Are you actually thick? For locking us in here?

Marius: We're locked in?

Eppie: Yes. AM I THE ONLY SENSIBLE ONE?

Oliver: No! I am too!

Eppie: (gives him a look) Yes, you're sane. You who sings about love falling from skies.

Oliver: OI! (goes off somewhere)

Enjy: Good riddance.

Eppie: So, oh great leader, how are we getting out? And what are we doing after?

Enjy: Well, first we unlock the door.

Dodger: What kinda teacher did you 'ave?

Enjy: And then after that, we are going out onto the streets and convincing people to join the cause!

Marius: And what of the authoress?

Enjy: What authoress?

Fagin: WHERE IS SNOOFLES?

A/N: I must explain this. Fagin has a toy penguin called Snoofles. He gets very lonely without her.

Bill: I don' know where Snoofles is! Per'aps you left 'er in the loft. Good riddance.

ABC Society and Enjy: VIVE LA REPUBLIQUE!

Eppie: One more day all on my own…

Javert: Where is 24601?

Valjie: Eep! (runs to a corner of the room at the sight of Javert and stays there, shaking and being rather pathetic)

Cosette and Marius: And yet with you my life has started…

Oliver: (playing with string) Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…

Gavvy and Dodger: (united against the strangeness of Oliver) EXILE 'IM!

Random Fagin's gang: Gin….

Javert: COME WITH ME 24601!

A/N: I think it's best if I leave it there- who knows what other monstrosities would ensue if I kept on writing… more coming, as long as you click on that little button! It's not that hard to miss. So, you know you want to! Pwease?
