Munku: Why are we back here so soon?

Skimble: This author-person is killing time before she has her second performance of her fall melodrama. I saw her in the makeup last night... SCARY stuff!

Kelo: (with a baby wipe in her hand) I heard that! *ouch!* This stuff is absolutely torture to get off!!

Misto: You too busy to do this now? 'Cuz we could always call the whole thing off...

Kelo: Nonsense! I always have time for good parodying!

Misto: Lucky us....

When we last left off... Our hero was off to save Etcetera in his mop bucket. He arrived, and once everyone stopped laughing, he found his assignment. Fastforwarding through some really awkward dialogue.. we find Misto waiting outside the GalaxyDollars for her to get off work.

She finally came out, but Misto noticed there was something concealed in her pocket. She pulled out a water pistol and held it menacingly. "Who are you working for? You can tell Macavity that I'm not his to control!"

Cet: And how exactly doth one hold a water pistol menacingly?

Kelo: Guns aren't covered in PG ratings.

Misto was taken aback. "Meethinks I missed something here. I don't work for this Macavity character..."

Her eyes went wide and she quickly tucked away her water gun in her purse once more. "OH! Well then it's nothing-- I have a JunkYard party I have to be going to."

Bomb: The name's been used!

Kelo: Not true! This one is different!

Bomb: What's the dif?

Kelo: This one has a capital Y!

Bomb: I should have seen that one coming...

They arrive at the party and Misto tries his paw at socializing- inspiring him into a song and dance, as usual.. (betcha thought I'd givin' up on the singing stuff, eh?)

(tune of 'Getting to Know You' from "The King and I")
Getting to know you..

Used to involve drinking from you

Now, I'm without that

I don't know what to say.

Haven't you noticed,

I'm the guy in the back you always miss--?

Someone recognises Misto before he can make a *complete* idiot of himself and takes him out of the room. It's Vicky- from Junkyard, (the place with the lowercase y).

Vicky: I'M out of Lec's series now too? How did I get here?

Kelo: It involves something in Mooky's parody.

Vicky: (raises her eyebrow) O--kee..

Misto was surprised to see her there, and was more than a little ticked off that she'd interrupted his song. "Vicky! What are you doing here?"

"I live in JunkYard now. Are you living here too?" she asked.

Misto smiled mischieviously. "Well, I could just tell you that... but I'd rather sing it!"

"But you already sang-- never mind, he's gone." Vicky backed away slowly as Misto grabbed up a microphone.

(to the tune of "One Way Ticket" by Leanne Rimes *again!*)

Standing on the corner

I looked out into the great unknown

Vicky: Since when do we do refrains of songs?

Kelo: Since right now!

"I get the idea.. (whispers) People are staring!" Vicky snatched the mic from him and marched him off into a corner once more.

"They don't stare in Junkyard." Misto said in a slightly winey tone.

Vicky rubbed her head and was visibly trying to be patient. "People miss a lot in Junkyard, buddy. Well, I guess I'd better go talk to some cats who are someone!"

Demi: Ooo! Below the belt! Vicious!

Misto collects his charge and they leave, only to be attacked, (in typical plot-twisting fashion) in the parking lot. He digs out his shoebox and fights off Agents of the law firm Cheat'em & Howe. Cet turns to thank Misto, only to see that her short dark and handsome cat savior is really a bad @*#! pollicle and races off into the night.

Quaxo: I watched the premier... that was skipping a whole lot of stuff.

Kelo: When I said loosely based, I meant LOOSELY. The others will be even farther off the real thing, I promise.

Misto: Others? HOLD ON!! What is this parody going to become? A weekly series??

Kelo: NOW THERE'S AN IDEA!!!

Misto: NOOOO!!!!

Misto picks up Skimble (cuz good guys run in packs) in his bucket and heads out to find Cet. They search for while and come across her bloodied body in the park--

Cet: My work here is DONE!

Our two heroes race over to her body and (surprise, surprise!) she's a goner. "This was the work of.... *scary music* POLLICLES!" Skimble said darkly.

"Wow! Having another vision again?" Misto asked as he chucked Cet's body to the side.

Cet: *thud* Ouch?!

Skimble shook his head. "Nah. I just saw that big furry thing standing behind you with a shoebox on its head and drew my own conclusions."

So Misto quickly dusts the pollicle and goes to find the killers of Cetera. After considerable wandering, he finds the law firm Cheat'Em & Howe, only to find a locked gate. Misto doesn't let this stop him though! He breaks down the door with the help of his incredible Pollicle strength--

Misto: (breaks through the door) Ow. Foot. Pain. Medic?

Kelo: You're doing fine. Looked very realistic. KEEP GOING!

Misto limps past the security guards and comes face to face with Macavity. Just to raise the stakes, (I revel in my terrible puns!) Macavity kidnapped Vicky on her way home from the party and when Misto shows up, the Hidden Paw is just about to make her lunch...

"Let her go!" Misto said in true hero-type fashion.

"Hey there soul kitty... come to take your precious ditzy queen back?" Macavity snarled.

"I am not a di--- (sees the shoebox on Cavity's head) Never mind." Vicky shut her mouth once more.

As Misto gets kicked around thoroughly by Macavity, Skimble races over and frees Vicky. He is instantly smitten with her and in a romantic moment such as this he takes the time to--- YOU GUESSED IT! Belt out a good old fashioned melody.

(to the tune of "I Swear")
I swear

By the moon and the stars in the skies

I'll be there

I swear

I'm the shadow that's by your side---

Vicky broke into his song. "This is getting creepy. You a stalker or something?"

Skimble shook his head and tried hard to regain the romantic mood. "No. Just hopelessly in love." *lights dim to 'romantic mode' and the music strikes up again*

"Good luck to whoever she is.." Vicky walked off to leave Skimble alone to finish the song.

I'll be there..

Since I didn't rehearse

I don't know this verse...

But bear with me

As I try to sound sincere--

I stare

'Cause I can't see the cue card in the dark.

It's still there.

I swear....or at least I think.

Demi: That was almost a very angsty moment there, but thanks to Skimble 'the great lyric revisionist extroadinaire' it just turned into another really lame song moment.

Misto comes crashing through the glass pane nearby suddenly, landing at their feet and ruining what remained of the romantic moment quite efficiently.

"This is all really touching and angsty, but I'm getting my tail whipped here... LITTLE HELP MAYBE??" Misto moaned as he rubbed another bruise to the ribs.

"You should have asked sooner... (takes off her shoe and throws it at the Macavity-Pollicle. He urgles and explodes)." Vicky then returned to filing her nails as she had been before the attack.

"What the--?" Skimble began.

Vicky: So what if my shoes are built up with wooden soles? That doesn't make me less of a cat!

Misto: Suddenly I feel like incredible 'girly-cat'. I get beat up and she gets all the credit for throwing a shoe at it? Where's the justice in this?

Kelo: Elsewhere at the moment. Now I have to go get some sleep. I have another show tomorrow and I've finally gotten all my makeup off.

Skimble: Now THAT is trully scary...

Kelo: I'll pretend I didn't hear that...

Our three heroes gather up their things and head back home. As they walk away a familiar face stares at them from the shadows. He wears black leather and has a furry mane---

Tugger: Alright already! Like they don't know it's me!

Skimble: (in a flat monotone) Hey look. I am so surprised to see you Tugger. My, how did you ever get here to LA?

Tugger: Funny Skimble.

Misto: I thought you said we were done here, Kel!

Kelo: I realized we needed something to get the readers to want to come back. What better than with a crossover character?

Misto: They'd *want* to come back?
