Mentally

What really goes through Coricopat and Tantomile's heads at the ball?

Thankyous to all my reviewers!

Disclaimer: I don't own CATS!

A/N 1: Another Chappie for ya!

A/N 2: I suggest you watch the DVD before reading the rest of the chapters, cos I'm not putting

who sings what line.

A/N 3: You'll have to forgive me if I get lyrics wrong!

{Coricopat} = Mental thoughts.

[Tantomile] = Mental thoughts.

Coricopat's movements.

Tantomile's movements.

Every thing else.

Chapter 7: The Old Gumbie Cat Part1.

[So, who's the first candidate?]

{Ummmmmmmmmmmmm...}

[Well you're helpful]

{I know.}

[And modest.]

{I know}

[And a selfish, stuck up, moronic pig!]

{I know.}

[HE ADMITS IT!]

{Wha- Oh damn!}

"I have a Gumbie Cat in mind,

Her name is Jennyanydots,"

{Oh man! Munku gets to sing this song too!}

[So?]

{Well, he goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and-}

[!]

"Her coat is of the tabby kind,

With tiger stripes,

And leopard spots."

{So's ours, but you don't see them singing songs about us do you?}

[Oh get over it!]

"All day she sits beneath the stairs,

Or on the steps or on the mat."

[Gee, that's not true!]

{Yeah, she spends most of the day chasing after the kittens and telling off Pouncie, Tumble and Plato.}

[And you.]

{Yeah. Wait – what?}

[You are so gullible*snicker*]

"She sits and sits and sits and sits,

And that's what makes a Gumbie Cat,

That's what makes a Gumbie Cat!"

{So does that make Cassandra a Gumbie Cat? Cos that's all she does, sits and sits and sits and sits and sits and sits and sits and sits and sit-}

[Y'know, that's more annoying than 'on and on and on']

{Really? *Takes deep breath to go on and on about Cassandra sitting*}

[Don't start.]

{*Let's breath out slowly*}

"But, when the day's hustle and bustle is done

Then the Gumbie Cat's work is but hardly begun."

{Wow.}

[You bet.]

"She's deeply concerned with the ways of the mice."

{Why? If we have a problem with mice we just eat them.}

[That's totally immoral!]

{Why? Haven't you ever played the game Cat and Mouse? With real mice too.}

[Of course not! It's just wrong! Cat and Bird is much more moral.]

"Their behaviour's not good

And their manners not nice!"

{Their mice for crying out loud! Their brains are the size of a pea!}

[Which is more than you can say.]

"So when she has got them line up on the matting,

She teaches them-"

{What? She teaches them what? I must know! Tell me!}

[Shaddap and listen!]

"Music, crocheting and tatting!"
