Part 1.

7am

The Mice are in the rat runs, and messing about beneath the local pub, run by MTVN with his beautiful Barmaids Rusti and Smudge. They like licking the drips from the barrels in the store room and there's also a somewhat decrepit snooker table. They are discussing the plan to invade the village on Christmas Eve at midnight.

Chattering Crimson and Biting Barry are riding the snooker balls (pardon!) and rolling themselves across the table.

Avaricious Alf has over indulged in drips from a beer barrel and is staggering around with his tail in the air.

Munching Mock, Tenacious ThomasC and Rampant Ray are 'singing' There's a Rat in Mi Kitchen!

Nibbling Nicky, the softest hearted of the mice is hiding in a corner and sneakily writing a letter to Princess Vanessa.

......

Princess Vanessa awakens and finds a note under her pillow. It's a warning that "you need to know that us Mice are plotting to invade Tibb Town at midnight on Christmas Eve. Don't tell that I've told you.. yours rattily, Nibbling Nicky xx"

Princess Vanessa telephones Lord James and informs him. He thanks her.
