[I DO NOT AND NEVER WILL OWN TOM AND JERRY]


Chapter 7: To Captain Kiddie's Carnival!


Approximately 3 days went by, with no luck on anything.

Jeannie kept checking the phone for any news on anyone finding Robyn.

But one day, Dr. Applecheek was over, and he & Figg were talking about Robyn's escape. Judging by the tones of their voices, Jeannie, who was reading the newspaper for any news on Robyn's finding and/or whereabouts, could tell it was a very bad deal. Dr. Applecheek stated that Figg had been to blame for her niece's escape.

"My fault?!" said Figg, shocked and offended by this accusation. "What do you mean it's my fault?! If you had done with those two like I paid you to, that brat wouldn't have run away again!"

"Nevertheless," said Dr. Applecheek angrily, "those 2 animals have cost me a bundle; Not to mention the damage!"

"Damage?!" Figg snapped, "I've...!" She was rudely interrupted when the phone rang. "Eh, excuse me for a moment; I must get the phone." she said to Applecheek, as she walks into the living room and shuts the door behind her. As Figg answered the phone. Dr. Applecheek peeked through the door to listen. Jeannie watched him with interest.

"Hello?" said Figg on the phone. "Yes, yes, I did offer a one million dollar reward for the return of my precious little Robyn." When she got the location of Robyn, she was excited. "Captain Kiddie's carnival! Ha-ha! We've got her! I've got her! Yes, yes, yes!" Figg whooped loudly.

Unbeknownst to her, Dr. Applecheek had overheard about the 'one million dollar reward', and decided to claim it for himself.

[REMINDER: He, Captain Kiddie, and the Straycatchers didn't know that it was a fake million dollar bounty.]

Whilst Figg was telephoning Lickboot to come and pick her, Jeannie, and Ferdinand up, Dr. Applecheek headed back to the truck where his henchmen, the Straycatchers, were waiting.

The Straycatchers' truck rolled away as Figg walked back into the hallway.

"Now, doctor, you were talking to me about damages. I..." Figg stopped as she saw that Dr. Applecheek was gone. "Doctor? Doctor? Where is that creep?" she wondered.

Jeannie looked out of the window. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say he overheard you and now he and the Straycatchers are on their way to the carnival to claim the million dollar reward you mentioned." she said.

"WHAT?!" Figg exclaimed, then turned angrily to Jeannie, and said, "Why didn't you say something before?!"

"You were on the phone," Jeannie said in defense. "Mom always told me it's not polite to bother someone on the telephone." she added.

Figg sighed in exasperation. "Sometimes, you CAN have too much of a good thing, especially manners." she said to the audience, apparently breaking the fourth wall.

"Who were you talking to?" Jeannie asked.

"Nobody!" Figg snapped at Jeannie. "Just get ready to go out!"

"Yes, Pristine." Jeannie said.


It wasn't long till Lickboot came over to pick them up.

"We've found her!" cried Figg, as she & Jeannie, followed by Ferdinand, raced towards Lickboot's car, and got in.

"Where?"Lickboot asked.

"She's at Captain Kiddie's carnival!" said Jeannie. "Do you know where it is?"

"I'll have us there before you can say 'one million dollars'!" Lickboot said, as he sped the car outta the gate, and off to the carnival.

On their way to the carnival, they sped past Dr. Applecheek, who recently had been betrayed by his henchmen, the Straycatchers, and dumped onto the pavement.

"Who knows what Robyn's gotten herself into?" Jeannie thought as they sped to the carnival.
