Mau5in' Around

Chapter 2

She crept through the hallway, and ignored the bathroom sign pointing to the right. She walked down the hall. She had only been down here when no one was around; only when the building was completely abandoned and empty, did she adventure and explore this place inside out. At the time, it had its own aura to it. But now… now it was full of people. Full of souls, personalities, minds, and ideas. It felt different now. And as she moved down the hall, towards the door she dared to enter, she heard laughter. Her eyebrows came down as her curiosity pulled her along.

In front of the door that read ‘Back Stage.’

The sounds of a mad man singing and giggling to himself came out under the doorframe. Raven gulped. Maybe this wasn’t such a hot idea… The guy seemed a bit off when he was out and performing. Wot if he is wankers in person? 

Nope, gotta do this!

Raven gripped the doorknob tightly and slowly turned it. She then leaned her body on it carefully to crack it open and peer through. 

“Bwahahaha!”

Raven gasped and pulled her head away quickly.

The shadow of the mouse DJ flashed over the door. Luckily, he didn’t see her. She slowly returned her face to the door crack to look.

The mouse was dancing around like a lunatic, still wearing his helmet. He was very pleased with himself about something.

“Hehehehe~ Oh what a wonderful night. So many people enjoyed that show.”

Raven softly chuckled to herself. Full of it, are we? She thought.

The DJ continued to frolic around, waving his hands as he gloated in his pride. The helmet bobbed up and down, the ears twitched slightly and the eyelids closed as he blinked. The corners of the idiotic grin on his face twitched as he chuckled.

Raven stared, mouth open. Even up close, she could not see how it could possibly be fake. It looked so god damn real!

“Ah, there were so many good dancers out there! I love to see my music move people like that. Bwahaha~!” He swung around in circles as if imitating the dances. The baggy pants around his waist and legs flopped about oddly. Raven stared. There was something weird about those too…

A strange bulge could be seen just bellow his lower back. It was moving too…

Raven curled her lip. That’s really disturbing look. I can only imagine that to be-

Suddenly the bulge grew and a long red shape extended out of his pant line. It stretched out and circled around his body. A tail! A fucking tail!

“Oh shit!” Raven gasped out loud.

One ear twitch toward the door, then his head turned to look straight at her, his mouth now flattened in a straight line.

Raven’s eyes went wide as she immediately pulled away from the door. She took several steps back in shock. It was too late... he saw you. For sure, he saw you.

She was about to make a run for it, when the door swung open, and the DJ, now more mouse like then ever, stood in the door way, his idiotic smile large and his bug eyes fixed upon her.

“Oh bollocks...” Raven said, as the mouse lunged forward and grabbed her hand. He then took it firmly in his and shook it up and down: a rather rough handshake.

“Congrats, friend. You discovered the truth!”

Raven only stared... her heart was pounding and she felt rather embarrassed that she was caught spying on him.
