-Music comes from other places too.

Er... Yeah! From the ice cream van!

Maybe. Or... Nuff Song.

The studio? Good thinking, Rastamouse.

Quick, before the thief steals our instruments.

Which brother is this?

That's no brother, that's MC Rhymes.

Come on, let's grab her!

Nah, not yet, we need to find out

where she's hidden all the other stuff she's thieved.

Come on!

-Me still tink we should grab her.

-Sssh!

(Keep hidden. This way.)

OK, crew. Keep quiet and stay hidden.

Hey, check it out.

The president's stereo

and all the other thieved things are here.

RADIO: 'And that tune is MC Rhymes,

'our new Mouseland number one.'

Woo-hoo! Fantastic!

Me, MC Rhymes, number one!

Check it out! Och, aye!

-Oooh!

-Wha...? But... Wha...? How?

MC Rhymes,

me tink it you who should be answering all the questions.

Hmm. Well, well, well,

what have you got to say for yourself, Miss Rhymes?

Well, I'm really sorry, Mr President.

I always wanted to get a number one,

but I know I didnae stand a chance against the Easy Crew.

-Go on.

-Well, I heard they were about to finish their song,

and I just wanted to keep them busy,

you know, rushing around and that,

-to stop them releasing their track.

-That's what the thieving was about?

Oh, well, I didn't really want all those things for myself.

Hmm. MC Rhymes, you thieved so many things,

you made a lot of mice sad. Now me no know what me going to do

with a mouse that's been dis bad.

Wensley Dale, me tink me have an idea.

-RASTAMOUSE WHISPERS

-Oh.

Hmm! Oh! That plan does sound proper, Rastamouse.

MC Rhymes, you was very bad.

The tings you did were wrong,

but me know you just trying to do the best for your music and your song.

So if you give back all the tings you thieved,

your reputation can be saved by inviting all the mice that you upset

to a wicked party in the cave.

-Well?

-Oh, oh, thank you, President.

There is one thing I'm going to ask, though.

-Go on.

-Hee-hee. Can I borrow your stereo to play the party tunes?

PRESIDENT CHUCKLES

CHEERING

There's one last ting this party needs -

a song from the Easy Crew!

But we have no words for the song.

That's what me thought.

And then me remembered these notes from MC Rhymes.

Rastamouse, you tink of everything!

# I can go anywhere I want

# Try and catch me if you can

# But when you get to where you think I am

# I will already have run... # CHEERING

# She can go anywhere she wants

# We try and catch her if we can

# But when we get to where we think she is

# She will already have run... #

-Crisp party, MC.

-Oh, thanks, Rastamouse.
