Author's Note:THere is not plot line. It's just humorous, insane stupidity! YOu have to read it (unless you don't like rodents, then you are excused).

Jennyanydots finished showing Johny how to knit a sweater. "There now, dear. You can knit." Little Johny smiled and started working. "Now Rosemarie. Remember todo the right form. In , out, under, up." Rosemarie, a little black mouse nodded and kept going. "Jo, don't tease Geoffery." Jo, a little borwn mouse, stuck her tongue at Geoffery. "Jo!" They both went back to work.
She walked over to the cockroaches. "Forward Line. March!" They went into a stragith line and marched toward her. Line, face!" they turned to face her. Good! Now, I want you all to do a good deed for an animal this week. However, it must be a food deed, in order to earn the Food Badge. Understood?"
"YES!" they calle dout in unison. Little Jacob came in a little late, but Jenny just looked at him. She walked back to the mice, gaily knitting away. "Drew! Leave them alone--ANDREW!" Jenny yelled at a small male mouse. "Leave your sister alone!" Drew grinned at Jo.
Etcetra and Jemima walked in the house through the kitty door. "Aunt Jenny! They cried. "Oh, there you are! I was wondering where you were! Alright, mice. Everyone, I have a trip to take. These are my neices, Ms. Etcetra and Ms. Jemmie. They are substituting for me for the rest of the day. Please be kind to them. They have no knitting expirience, they are only here to dicipline. Understood?" "Yeah," the mice said dully. No one likes substitutes! "Be good then. Bye!" They all waved good-bye to their teacher.
"Okay," Etcetra sighed. "We're only here to watch you, and keep you in order, so please don's ask us for help." Jemima agreed. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Travie, a young kitten from the Jellicle tribe crashed from the attic. "Travie!" a voice called quietly. "Travie, why are you here?" Jemmie demanded. "This is OUR class time." "On contrare, Ms. Jemmie. We were told we could help," Travie educated her. "We?" Jemima asked. "Me and Matty of course." "Oh-no."
"Oh, Y-EEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS! Matty fell from the attic. "And some other friends." Pouncival and Tumblebrutus walked through the kitty door. "You can't this isn't fair! Aunt Jenny said we were responsible enough to do this by ourselves!" Jemima exclaimed.
"Whatever. We won't mess up nothin'. We just want a couple mice for..." Travie thought. "Remedial purposes," Matty whispered. "Remedial purposes. She said a few mice...needed help/ We get to help them." "Fine. Take the ones you need," Etcetra told them sourly. Pouncival handed Travie the attendance sheet.
"Jo, Drew, Jacob, Johny, Rosemarie, Aeva, and Leah," Travie odered. The mice filed next to Matty.
"I didn't know I needed help," Aeva whispered worriedly. "I thought I was a pretty good student." Matty led them out of the house. "Okay, here's what we're gonna do. We would took all of ya's, but Ms. Jemmie wouldn't let us. So this is how it goes." Traiv eturned to Matty for a moment then talked again. "We're gonna go in Jenny's kitchen and make...Fruitcakes!" The mice gasped. "Sounds like fun!" Jake exclaimed. "Yeah!" Leah agreed excitedly.
"I can't go anywhere without Phyldia!" Drew screamed. "Shut-up," Matty whispered. "Come on." They slipped through the back cellar window. They then ran up the staris into the living room, then to the kitchen.
"Okay, let's get to work," Tumblebrutus said. "Jo and Drew? You get two eggs. Jake? You bring on the butter. Rpsemarie? Sugar. Johny? Flour. Leah? Salt. Go!" The little mice skittered all about.
The kittens had already opened the refridgerator so it was easier. Jo pushed the egg carton out off the tiop shelf. SPLAT! Three big eggs splattered all over th efloor. "Look Jo, I'm swimmin'!" Drew called. She rolled her eyes. He was swimming in the yolk of a broken egg. She rolled two unbroken egg to Drew. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" They rolled right over th poor little mouse. He managed them over to Tumble.
Jake found the butter on the counter. At first, he wasn't sure what to do with it. So he stood in it. He slipped and slid on it. WHOOSH! he slipped past Drewe ON the rolling egg. Jo gave Jake and egg shell. Jake dove into the butter and pushed some of it into the eggshell. Jo and he carried it to Tumble.
Next, Rosemarie was bringing out the sugar from th ecupboard. "You know why I get to get the sugar? Cuz I'm so sweet!" she chirped to herself. "Yuk! This stuff is sticky!" she pushed it out. It slipped all over the floor. All over Jake. "It's a ghost!" Demeter screamed.
"Jake!" Rosemarie yelled. "I'll save you!" she jumpe din the sugar. In a few seconds, she pulled Jake up, huffing and puffing. Then they pushed some sugar over to Tumblebrutus.
Johny found the flour next to where Rosemarie founf the sugar. He jumped in it and it puffed up like dust. "Ck, ck!" he coughed. He had to find an easier way to get it down they dumping it all over the floor. THen he remembered the cups. He jumped on the counter and rolled a cup from the dishwasher over to the cupboard.. He had a dishcloth as well. While Jo, Drew, Rosemarie and Jake each held a corner of the cloth, he climbed up to the cupboard with the cup, which Leah was pushing behind him. He threw in some flour. With flour in the cloth, they gave it to Tumble.
Leah found the saltshaker on the stove. She accident;y knocked it over. It started to fall to the ground."It''s snowing already!" Jo called. "It's gonna break!" Aeva cried franically, twisting her tail in knots. Drew ran over with an eggshell and caught the shaker. Then dipped his finder in the salt.
"Yuk! This tastes terrible!" he said disgusted. "Okay troupes!" Matty rubbed her fore paws together. "Travie brought the fruit, now we CUT IT UP!" the mice cheered. "Who wants to use the knife?" Several tiny paws flew up i nthe air. The good news is, you all can! Make groups of three." There was Jo, Johny and Leah, and Rosemarie, Jake and Aeva (whom, by the way, had stood and watched the whole operation, scared to death of it all). "What about Drew?" Jo asked. We want him."
"But it's be uneven. Oh well." Matty went on. "Pouncival has stuck a knife in the fruit so one group gets the handle and the other gets the top of the blade. Jo led her group to the blade, and Rosemarie led her's to the handle. "Now seesaw!" They did. When the fruit was in slices, Matty stomped them into mush. That was the apricot.
"Now the banana!" Pouncival cried. "This is the funnest part! All ya gotta do, is jump on it!" They all did. Then Tumble peeled it and they had to do it again. Travie was reading the cookbook and mixing ingridients.
"And last, the strawberries!" Tumble exclaimed. "This is neat, cuz when you're done, you're red. Now, just jump one one strawberry at a time. As they did, the strawberries splattered everywhere. When they were done, they added the fruit to the mixture and stuck it in the oven. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Aeva screamed. "Jacob lost his shoe in there!" she pointed to the cake in the oven."Uh-oh," Matty, Tumble, Pouncival and Traive looked to each other.
"When it was done, it smelled very good. Travi esqueezed the frosting tube. Nothing. She pressed really hard, and out popped Jo! "Whoa!" Travie picked her up. "I'm glad you're not a cockroach!" Jo giggled. She squeezed some words on the cake, and then took the mice back to there class in the front room. "What's this?" Etcetra asked.
"It's a cake for Miss Jenny, for being such a wonderful teacher. From the class," Matty explained. "But these guys get most of the credit. But since it's not fair that all the rest of you didn't get to help, I got and idea." Pouncival took the cake and whispered something to each mouse. Jennyanydots came back."What's this?" She read the cake.
We Love You Miss Jennyanydots!
Oh, thank-you!" Pouncival cut Jenny a piece. Then Jemmie and Etcetra, for being helpers. They bit into their pieces. Jemmie and Etcetra's pieces were full of tiny mouse shoes!
"You're gonna get it!" Jemima threatened wit h a grin. And indeed, they did enjoy that cake. Even if Pouncival lost a tooth due to Jake's shoe!
