Narna:
Hey Bandit, did you hear that Ham has a new friend?

Bandit:
Hah! that fat Street Sleeper wont ever make any friends, he is too mean.

Narna:
Seriously!
Look theres a baby in there. The poor little guy looks scared and lonely

Bandit:
Of course he is going to be scared Narna, even we don't like encounters with the shark face.

Narna:
I want to meet him, do you think our owners will introduce him to us???

Bandit:
-Sniffs in direction of Jig-
maybe Narna. But look -climbs cage bars- He is trying to snuggle with the beast!!!

Narna:
Noooo!? -nudges Bandit away-
 let me see!!
-Gasps-

*Squeaks from Hams cage*


Bandit:
Well.... looks like he just commited suicide.

Narna:
No look....
-Sniffs in direction of hammock-
It worked... Ham moved over for him......

Bandit:
.......-Sneezes-

Big Days

Argh!
Narna has been a nipping at me rump, telling me to be pampering the Big Tooth and training him to understand us. Seems all a wee bit pointless in my humble opinion, I be saying we need to be getting my Space Rats down 'ere ASAP to find out about the Street Sleepers where abouts, aint safe out there with all thems cats running wild.


Keepin' Narna sweet as pie is what needs to be happenin' the now. Here be the picture of me and the Big Tooth....Socialising...

Big Tooth Boris

Ok Bandit has a point, I don't want to be forgotten either. I came to this place seeking shelter and females and found a pirat and a grumpy fat rat instead. The best of the bunch have popped off to fairyland... it seems only fair to keep them updated from this side of the forest.


It seems we have a new creature in our territory, Bandit is calling it a Big Tooth, Ham has called it Woof Yap....I think its really called a Boris, sent here to protect us from the feline over ruling that is happening out there.

Street Sleepers have gone into hiding, I completely understand their reasoning, after the Vermillion died unexpectedly all that are left are the peace keepers and the rogues from where Bandit came from, any sane rat would do well to keep them far away from here.


I have been harnessing my abilities to understand the language of Big Tooth since his arrival, it is fair to say sharing anything I find with him and bribing him with pieces of my poo -otherwise disguised as chocolate- has been playing in my favour.... It seems Boris the Big Tooth is being tamed by my approach, soon I will take control of the beast and have him at my beacon call!

ICE CREAM!!

YUMM!!!

Narna you must get us these!!!

Welcome Ed.

MUSHU

It's early evening here in fairyland and Pixin my rider has just ran in with wonderful news! She tells me Ed is coming over and he is going to be ready soon, I let her strap her saddle onto my back in haste and she dives on and runs me through the forest that glows with fairy magic and fireflies. 

We don't run home to where I left my body, but instead we run to another place, a place of medicines and I realise I'm at a vet surgery, I can hear the Keisha talking, asking about Ed's condition. The scent of blood in the air. I glimpse within the door and see Ed on the table not at all like himself. Blood has stained his underside from where he has pee'd out dark red. The Keisha is stroking him gently as 

though any pressure would shatter him,  a rush of memories hit me, 

'This is like my last day.'

 My fairy hears my thoughts and with her tiny delicate hand caresses my large ear, she soothes me as I hear the vet suggest the friendlier option as Ed looks in pain, and I follow the vet with Ed into the other room where she lays him down in a towel, prepares an injection and pumps it into his system. 

Ed's eyes begin to blur and as she provides gas for him to slip away, I can barely contain myself I call for Ed, he looks so scared until he hears my voice, and my fairy smiles a beam of light to him I can hear her thoughts shine with happiness at how beautiful Ed is, and what a wonderful companion he will make. And as I guide my life friend into the Fairy Realm I brux to him letting him know he is safe and has nothing to worry about. 

Once he entered the realm his physical body went limp and his spirit turned to see as the vet carry the shell of his remains back to Keisha to bury. Together me Ed and Pixin flicker from this realm I left only months ago and together we shall dance in a world of fairies and magic as we await our other friends.

Bandit.

He's just a pansy. ;]  

bullied

Narna:

Everyone keeps bullying me, the keisha makes fun of me and the karl laughs about it. I feel I was sent here to be a laughing stock...these creatures don't know it but I'm of royal rodent descent and I have high standards that should not be mocked. Just because I squeak when I'm climbed on or approached DOES NOT make me a pansy or a sensitive fellow.... it makes me... special... I just want to be held and told everything is okay and it is not at all embarrassing to be scared of Ed and run to the keisha for some reassurance safety. I am still a young rat after all.  

chatter

Bandit: Hey Narna...they be swapping our toys about!

Narna: I can see that Bandit, what's this thing? -pushes hanging ladder- Oh I don't think I'm going to like that Bandit...it moves when you stand on it.

Bandit: -Jumps on the ladder and scurries across- Don't be a daisy Narna, its not going to collapse. Look we having a clean hammock too!

Narna: Hey isn't that the thing that you made Ham and Ed believe would turn them into squiggles? -points at squirrel feeder-

Bandit: -investigates the squirrel feeder and chews some wood- It's so small I wonder how Ham even managed to fit in without being stuck.

Narna: -covers eyes as the feeder wobbles- Ooh be careful it don't look safe Bandit.

Bandit: Arrr It's fine Narna come on up!

Narna: -hesitates-

Bandit: come up and ill share with you my pasta twists and you can sleep in my spaceship for the day.

Narna: ohhh okay Bandit if you're sure.

To hot for hammocks

Yin and Yang. 

I wish there were more climbing stuffs in me home!...something like this!

without them there cats

psst...secret bout Narna...

Oi, Girl Rats...

Be payin' no attention to that there Narna post of seeking a girl.... He enjoys a good rat snuggle as much as the next rat and he be sleeping next to me on a regular basis hehe!

YAWN...

Bandit:

I be so bored in this here cage, ain't enough platforms to clamber on, ain't enough bars to throw meself up. I'm thinking I need in the other cage with Ham. Be thinking it is about time Narna got himself a pair of strong balls and stood up for 'imself. Just so's we can all share a cage. I want's to be rat piling with my bigger crew members. Even going as far as wishing on that big old star out there that be grantin' wishes. I seen that cartoon bout the wooden boy that learns wishes do come true. I'm thinkin' that there star made woman don't discriminate against us ratties. We has wishes too. And mines be that we can all just gets along.

Calling Girls!

Name: Banarna

Gender: Male

Age: 4 soft paws and lotsa baby fur.

Hey my name is Banarna AKA Narna, I am a young and wealthy rat, I have elite blood in my veins and while I do suffer from Insomnia, I have plenty of energy. I am seeking a female companion as my old one never came back. I live with another male, I think he is from space...or some far off pirate ship...maybe both. We have separate hammocks and eat from different parts of the cage, we only need to share a litter tray. If you look like Minnie Mouse please find me!

P.S We have a fat grumpy neighbour and a neighbour that snores.

FOOD FIGHT!!!!

Bandit: Hoi! Narna....  -shoves out the hammock-

SUDDEN THUD AND STIRRING OF A  WELL SHOVED  RAT FILLS THE ROOM....

Narna: -wipes cheeks and yawns- I wish you would stop doing this Bandit....my butt can't protect me all the time.

Bandit: -runs down to Narna whilst Ham watches with shark like eyes- Wants to cause a riot??

Narna: -blinks in quick succession- A what?

Bandit: -rolls eyes and shoves Narna- A riot you pin head, -looks at Ham, now joined by a curious sleepy looking Ed-

Narna: -Follows Bandits gaze and slinks away- Gee...I dunno...

Bandit: -takes a splodge of left over jam and splats on Narna- FOOD FIGHT!



AND IN THAT MOMENT WAR BROKE LOOSE BETWEEN TWO CAGES THAT SEEMED WORLDS APART. WHILST NARNA HID IN SLIGHTLY TERRIFIED HORROR, HAM AND BANDIT TOOK TO THEIR FOOD STASH -AND THEIR CAGE MATES- AND BITS OF FOOD BEGAN TO FLY FROM ONE CAGE TO ANOTHER. ED RUSHED TO GRAB ANY VEGETATION THAT HE FELT WOULD SATE HIS VEGETARIAN NEEDS AND TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO RE-STASH HIS....STASH. EVENTUALLY GIVING IN TO THE BATTLE AND THROWING A PEANUT AT NARNA, WHO...FOR SOME REASON TOOK OFFENCE AND FLUNG IT BACK....THIS HAD AWOKEN HIS INSTINCT...THE DARK ONE THAT LURKED INSIDE EVERY RAT....THE INSTINCT TO THROW FOOD AT ONE ANOTHER  BEFORE THE OWNERS WOULD WAKE TO SEE THE MAYHEM GOING ON, THEY FINISHED THE WAR BY EATING THE LEFT OVER FOOD THAT DID NOT FALL TO THE FLOOR BETWEEN THE TWO CAGES. AND WITH PLUMP TUMS THEY RETIRED TO THEIR DESIGNATED BED CHAMBERS AND KNEW FRESH FOOD WOULD BE GIVEN ON THIS FATEFUL DAY.

tehehe

Three days later.....

Narna: 

So Bandit had this awesome idea, since we both hate hate hate Ham, and Ed is to cute to be evil.... Bandit brought out these interesting looking futuristic things from his space craft (one of them looked like a tooth pick) and wired them up to Ham and Ed while they slept....He said it wouldn't hurt them, but both Ham and Ed seemed to be squirming a lot. Bandit laughed like some escaped asylum rat and his paws did some sort of tap dance as he watched the weird thing happen.

See with a little bit of help from me (I had to chew a straw) we managed to swap their brains....so now Ham has Ed's dark soul and Ed can go about being all happy without the anger issues Ham has.

Our test begins now....we don't know how successful we are in doing this however results at a later date should help determine our success.

This idea of Bandit's came from him reading an article about humans using lab rats to discover how to regenerate limbs....He went a step further and swapped brains.

Bandit: Hey Narna.... Oi.... Wake up pushes Narna off platform

Narna: YAWN What do you want Bandit, I dont wantsta play right now.

Bandit: twitches nose at Narna I have something fun to do.

Narna: ….OK

Bandit: EXPLAINS PLAN

Farewell

Mushu

Im not really sure what is going on, only twenty minutes ago I was playing and having such a wonderful time with my brother and Narna, I think I have broken Narna's shell a little and he is finally opening up to us both. Now I feel woozy, my tummy is fluttering like I nibbled a butterfly. I can't seem to catch my breath... I have to admit I am a little concerned.

The Keisha has noticed I'm looking a little on the pale side, not good at all she has held me a lot and I feel a little less scared. There's a calling in my ears.... It's telling me to follow them. I am not sure exactly who 'them' actually is but it smells nice and now that I'm resting in a snuggle hoodie I think I might investigate. After all it would be silly not to my whiskers would never stop twitching if I passed up such an opportunity... I feel kinda light, but they call to me much louder now...actually if I let my gaze just wander I can almost see them..... they are waiting!!! squeekers!! they seem to be waiting for me, and they are smiling! Oh if only I could show them to my buddies. How the Karl and Keisha would react to these.....these... fairies! Oh such wonderful creatures I think I might bounce over to them and say hello.... if I just relax my eyes....and slowly.... relax....their hands are helping.... such gentle hands soothing me into relaxation....closer...and closer to the fairies......I think I might just......

Narna: Wake up Bandit, Mushu is gone!

Bandit: What do you mean my brother be gone?

Narna: He just sort of.... popped off.

Bandit: …. To where?

Narna: He joined the fairies. Took him seconds to get there it did, oh his little body light flickered above him in such vibrant glow you should have seen him go... he looked so peaceful he did.

Bandit: Do you think we will go there too?

Narna: Of course we will Bandit....all rats must go to play with the fairies eventually. It's how we know we did what needs to be done.

Bandit: I will miss him though.

Narna: Oh always but you will meet again. Come lets rest in his beloved Hammock I have stored some chocolate drops for us already.

Mushu in Fairyland

Fairies, fairies everywhere,

Not just in dreams,

They're really there.

They welcome me to their enchanted land,

With love and warmth,

And tender soft hands.

They took me from a loving home,

Told me this world was free to roam.

My soul had completed its simple task,

A rat like me free at last.

Many friends I found in the forest,

Where fairies dance,

And flowers flourish.

Where all creatures like me will one day meet,

Whether to run and play,

Or happily eat.

Rest Easy Mushu

update

Narna

Is anyone out there....this is me.... Banarna... I feel like its been an eternity....I have finally found home, though I am not sure about the residents that live with me. They have came from a far away place and aside from their poor language and strange wordings they indeed seem to have a fierce glow in their eyes. I will admit I have been hoping to have a female companion however, since hooking up with the pretty Hiccup I feel I am sated and can comfortably fall into Pet Life, my parents would be proud! Their only Elite son to have made it into the realm of pet, It did sadden me to leave my brother, so alone and vulnerable. He used to get bullied so much for his extraordinary long tail. I can only hope he finds his place in the world and doesnt fall pray to the Vermillion. Speaking of... One of my resident naibours seems to be marked Vermillion. Its apparent in the way he moves, much like Igor and Quazzy Modo. He slurrs some of his words and sways. His mind is far beyond broken and when he looks at me he seems to be plotting my demise. He sniggers and scurries off to twiddle his bony fingers and stare from a distance... I think something is wrong with him. Just hours ago I watched him try to stash a load of peas and a wrapper of some sort in a mop bucket.... Im not sure he knows quite what the thing is used for but it seems to be his secret place. One day when I can get off the sofa I must investigate.

Mushu

I miss the ship life already somethink isn't normal about being on a surface that doesn't sway or jolt as it shudders across land or sea... Bandit seems to be enjoying 'imself. 'e hasn't even thought of contacting home to let them know we are fine so I thought I'd do it instead. I hope we ain't a planning on staying 'ere, the two legged beings are loud and their taste in sound waves is by far the worst I be yet to encounter. They keep trying to fondle me and grope at me. Ham, the Street Sleeper says its a good thing to be handled and I should get used to it...I be trying, and Narna is very helpful in showing me what to do and what not to do. However as I write this it seems he has caught a lurgy. He be coughing and sneezing. Bandit did warn 'im of the female companion being viral. Ed the vermillion has interesting ways...I watched him from me platform last night and he ate in his litter tray, seems kinda odd considering its often a place for....errr....poo. Im going to ask about this when I see him.

Bandit

Wooooooo!!! Land be here! Took so long in getting off this 'ere ship I was getting a right stiff nose. Ham my new land buddy is a great specimen of a rat. Seems he knows how to control many a situations here on earth.....I mean here on land. He be showing me about and teaching me the know hows. Ain't very playful is Ham. Seems abit up tight be thinking he need to loosen up. He fluffs up at any little thing. Take yesterday, me and me crew were sittin' in our territory and I happen to be watching when the other two were out, Ham crawled up on the lassie and nipped her, shocking her and knocking him off onto his head, was only a tail length of a fall but he got all fluffed up and well.... ratty. Tried telling her off he did, didn't much work out in his favour, she picked him up and put him away. Had to hide a snigger at his expense. He seems to be a proud beastie, likes his food and can't get enough of ham. Be a fitting name he's landed. I saw a doodle he drew before eating it... It was a drawing of a pig 'nd when I asked about it after he ate it, he told me he thought the drawing would taste like the real thing. He is a bit slow is that Ham. Wont be long till I make him part of my deck and take his place as leader.

Mushu
Im finding life on the land rather quite something. People (males are called Karls and Females are called Keishas) are really fun to be with, I love being held and snuggled in their clothing and quite enjoy the company of our new friend Narna. Bandit doesn't quite trust him yet and he tries endlessly to bully him. I feel sorry for him so I stop my brother quite a lot of the time, getting myself into trouble with his unstable temper. I can handle him though, I have had 7 weeks of experience of handling such an ass of a brother. Its Narna I have issues with, though I try and try so hard he doesn't want to be my friend. I invite him into the hammock when I see him sleeping on the ground looking uncomfortable in his poop dish or curled in a corner. But he turns away from me and sometimes pushes me away. Last night I wept because he seems to be so lonely and always looks tired from discomfort in sleep. I have to make it my mission to be his friend.

Bandit

These 'ere bars be in my way. I wanna explore and there be nothin' I can do to get out without the help of the Keisha or Karl 'n they only help get me to the soft land of what Ham calls a 'soofa' I tried to get down a couple of times, I even be makin an escape the first night we was out. Had thems humans rommaging and cutting open that soofa like a fish belly thinking I be in there. Ham n Ed were looking upon them with their eyes vibrating with so much happiness and amusement it were great. Of course they knew I be under their cage hiding and making for the book shelf. At one point the Keisha even looked over at us and commented at the audience. Thought she would have spotted me then harhar. Tiz gonna be fun livin' 'ere I be thinking. Narna is a little bit sensetive needs hardened up, been treatin' him like part of me crew and tryin' to toughen up the boy. Happens me brother Mushu taken a liking to the fellow, keeps taking the beatings for him. Makes me unhappy to fight me brother but be it Narna or Mushu my cage be ruled with iron paws and a tail of steel.

Narna

I don't like this place at all, much to my dismay Ham has decided he isn't rather fond of me and has indeed taken to bullying me.With Ed and Mushu being there to defend me I feel a little worthless in this home. I feel my only true friend be the girl who snuggles me and keeps me safe. I wish she would stop fearing my death when I sleep however. I think she needs to relax. However Mushu looks a little sicky today. I popped down to see him in the poop dish and he never even responded to my light nudge. I thought it best I let him rest and get better.
