Veroni: Alright! The time has finally come to finish this thing off.

Misto: I thought you'd forgotten-- what with moving on to Jellicle and Hyde and all....

Veroni: Awww, but I couldn't forget Cat Miserables!

Jemi: Unfortunatly for us...

Veroni: What?

Jemi: OH! I said, uh... Great! That's perfect for us!

SCENE 7

When we last left the action oh so song ago... The revolution was surmarilly squashed when each and every student was killed on the barricade. All, that is except for our hero, Munkjean, (what did you expect?) who regains conciousness and drags a hanging-on-to-life-by-a-thread Mistarius into the gutters to escape Skimbert--- who follows them into the gutter anyway just for the heck of it. As Munkjean slogs along through the sludge and slime and grizzly bits of sewer slime mixed.....

Cori: Ehhh, Veroni?

.... mixed with the stench of all those rotting corp---

Cori: (claps his paw over her mouth) Too much information, Veroni.

Veroni: Smmoorrmmy.

Our hero suddenly realizes there is someone down there with them and he dunks underwater. The figure is our resident second villian, Tugier, who is robbing the corpses of the students. He stops to (in classic musical fashion) sing a grizzly villian-type song...

Tugger:

Here's a hint of gold stuck into a tooth!

Pardon me messieur, you won't be needin' it no more!

Shouldn't be too hard to sell.

Add it to the pile! Add it to the stock!

Here among the sewer rats a---this is getting sick, Veroni! I'm through! Move on with the show while I go relive my lunch....

Well.... eh, let's just say he finished the song and continued on with the robbing until he discovered one of the corpses was a floating Munkjean and ran off into the inky black of the gutters. Munkjean watches Tugier beat a hasty retreat and scoops up Mistarius to continue their icky excusion.

Veroni: psst... Tanti! We need to have that turntable effect to show that he's coming out of the sewers now!

Tanti: Use your imagination! I ain't touchin' that thing! It's hazardous to my health!!!

Munkjean emerges from the sewers, (sort of) and is met by Skimbert who wishes to arrest him here and now. Munkjean begs Skimbert to let him take Mistarius to the hospital where he can get medical attention...

Skimble:

The cat of mercy comes again and talks of justice!

Munku:

Our time is running short!

Look down, Skimbert! He's standing in his grave!

Give way, Skimbert! There is a life to save!

Skimble:

Take him Munkjean! Before I change my mind!

I will be waiting 10-10-321!!!

Munkjean goes on, but Skimbert is now in a bit of a muddle. This cat who he had hunted has shown him mercy when he wouldn't have hesitated to throw him back in prison if he had been in that position. He now has trouble with his conscience.....

Lec: A real drawback if you're a ruthless bad guy.

Veroni: Are you telling this story, or me?

... And instead of changing his beliefs and accepting that a cat can change, he decides to kill himself, (don't ask me *why*...).

Skimble:

I'll escape now from the world!

From the world of Jean Munkjean!

There is nowhere I can turn!

There is no way to go OOOOONNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Skimble: (gasping for air)

Jelly: Yet another victim of the dreaded long last note.

SCENE 8

The women of Paris come to grips with the failed rebellion and come to the realization that nothing will ever change....

The Queens:

Turning! Turning!

Turning through the years.

Minutes into hours and the hours into years....

Nothing changes, nothing ever will.

Nothing but yet another world to build!

Round and round and back where you began....

Cetera: Well that was thoroughly depressing....

Mistarius is recovering and in his highly dillusional state, imagines that he is back in the XYZ Cafe with his pals.....

Misto:

There's a grief that can't be spoken

There's a pain, goes on and on

Empty chairs at empty tables

Now my friends are dead and gone....

Demi: I think I'll have to be treated for clinical depression after this thing is over with....

Misto imagines all the ghosts of his friends are there with him in the Cafe...

Misto:

OH MY FRIENDS! MY FRIENDS!

FORGIVE ME!

THAT I LIVE AND YOU ARE GONE!!!!

One of the ghosts sneezes...

Veroni: Sneezing ghosts? POUNCE!!!!

Pounce: Sorry, but this flour you used to make us look ghosty is making my nose tickle!

Veroni: (hits her head yet again on the keyboard)

Misto: (is trying despirately to preserve the somber mood)

Empty chairs at empty tables... now my friends will sing no more.

SCENE 9

To change the mood, Jemette rushes in and embraces the dillusional Mistarius and comforts him with a song leftover from the second part of this fic.

Jemi:

A heart full of love!

A night full of you!

The words are old... but always true!

Oh Everlasting Cat for shame! You did not even know my name!

Mistarius starts to perk up as she continues on and he slowly joins in. To tug at your heartstrings... Munkjean watches all of this with a lump in his throat and as Jemette leaves, he sits down with Mistarius to explain that he must leave before the two are wed.

Munku:

There is a story that must be told---- of years ago.

There lived a cat who's name was Jean Munkjean

He stole a loaf of bread to save his sister's baby tom!

He was arrested and through a bizzar twist of fate was given the number 10-10-321 and was tormented constantly about long distance services...

Veroni: AHEM!!!!

Misto: I'm guessing *you* are him.

Munku: Good guess. So you see that I must leave or else I risk destroying your perfect union.

Misto: Sir!

Munku: No more words! I must leave!

Misto: Sir! You do not understand!

Munku: I understand well, dear boy. You do not wish me to leave, but I must! (he stands up and there is a very loud *r-r-r-r-iiiiippp*)

Misto: Your pants were caught on the bedframe.

Holding his fanny, Munkjean leaves....

SCENE 10

Catapult us ahead a few weeks, and we are at the wedding of Mistarius and Jemette. We join the festivities with an already in progress dance...

Couples:

Ring out the bells upon this day of days!

In the midst of all of this, the Tugiers appear. They have made quite a nice little fortune for themselves from robbing those corpses and are here to blackmail the happy young couple.

Tugger: I don't know this part!

Veroni: You were supposed to have learned your lines during the hiatus!

Tugger: How was I supposed to know we'd ever be back to finish this?

Veroni: Very funny.

Bomb: Can't we just use one of those scripts?

Veroni: Pounce used the extra one and prompty lost it. (glares at Pounce)

Bomb: So I guess that means we won't be able to finish this thing off...

Veroni: WRONG! I always have a backup plan. Here, Asparagus! C'mere! (throws a cue card at him) Be a doll and hold these for Tugger and Bomb, huh?

Asparagus: How did I get stuck doing this?

Veroni: You didn't look too busy....

Asparagus: Memo to myself--- when the director looks like she needs someone to do a demeaning task..... LOOK BUSY!!!!!

Tugier approaches...

Tugger:

I forget where we met!

Was it not at the Chateu LaFarge?

Where the Duke did that--- OH GROSS!!!! I am not singing that!!!!

Veroni: (holds his promised box of catnip) Well then I'll just have to withhold this as compensation......

Tugger: (quicker than before)

... where the Duke did that puke

Down the Dutchess' deColee Tage?

Misto: I don't think so, Tugier!

Tugger: How did you know it was me?

Misto: I could smell you a mile away....

Tugger: Gee, thanks a lot!

Bomb:

Show M'sieur what you've come here to show!

Tell the boy what you know!

Tugger: There's a tale I could tell 'bout your wife's Daddy, and I could take a long time to cut to the chase... but I'll just say it now to save us all a lot of time and effort. I found this ring on the corpse that your wife's daddy was carrying around the night the barricade fell.

Misto: HEY! That's mine!

Tugger: Uh-oh... ummm.....

Misto: You're lucky I'm in a good post-nuptual mood! So I'll just run out with Jemette because believe it or not, now I know that Munkjean saved my life.... BYE!

Veroni: (rubs her temples as she watches her masterpiece falling to bits around her)

Tugger: (who is back in a singing mood, apparently)

Beggar at the feast!

Master of the dames!

Life is easy pickin's if ya takes yer chance!

Everywhere ya go... Law abiding folk!

Doin' what is decent, but they're mostly broke!

Bomb: (who was getting impatient for her part of the song)

We know where the wind is blowin'!

Tugger: (who realizes that she's trying to speed things up a bit)

Money is the stuff we smell!

Both:

And we're as rich as Midas!

Spineless!

Won't we see ya all in 'ell?

SCENE 11

Munkjean is laying in bed, sick and dying. He---

Veroni: Munku!! You will notice that I didn't just say "Munkjean is dancing a jig to the song the Tugier's just sang!!!

Munku: (stops dancing and plops down on the bed)Well it had a nice beat! (aside) Party pooper!

AHEM! Munkjean is dying. He is close to unconciousness when the spirit of Fanilorum appears to him and blesses him. (Hankie time) He is about to quit his struggle for life when Jemette and Mistarius rush in. Well, Jemette rushes in to his bedside--- Mistarius collides with Fanilorum. As the two scrape themselves off the floor there is a good deal of crying, not from Jemette of Munkjean, but from Veroni who has seen more of her grand spoof fall to pieces around her. Munkjean ignores this by pulling out a note and pressing it into Jemette's hand.

Munku:

On this page I write my last confession

Read it well when I at last am sleeping.

It's the story of those who always loved you

Your mother gave her life for you then gave you to my keeping.

Background Cats:

Do you hear the fe----

Veroni: NOT YET!!

Munku sinks into the bed and dies, surrounded by the spirits of those who died on the barricades as well as Fanilorum and Lectronine (who thought she was done for the show but we called back just in the nick of time).....

Lectra, Jelly and Munku:

And remember the truth that once was spoken

To love another person is to see the face of the Everlasting Cat....

Cetera: Man! That didn't exactly fit with the beat did it?

The white lights increase in intensity and the ensemble sings.

Veroni: Alright, *now* you go guys! Guys?

Jelly: I can't see anything!

Munku: My eyes! My eyes!

Jemi: Just go towards the light...

Munku: That was funny, Jem.

Jemi: Thank you.

Misto: I meant funny as in, better than anything Veroni's come up with...

Jemi: Are you insulting me?

Veroni: I'll ignore that... *ahem* NOW YOU CAN GO!!!!!

All:

Will you join in our crusade?

Who will be strong and stand with me?

Somewhere beyond the barricade is there a world you long to see?

Do you hear the felines sing? Say do you hear the distant drums?

It is the future that they bring when tomorrow comes!!

Tomorrow CO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-OM-M-M-M-M-M-E-E-S-S-S-S-S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Veroni: (watches as all the cats collapse upon completing that last long note) Wow... look at all the victims of "really long note-itis". (shrugs and grabs the telephone to order Speedy Pita) HEY! This means I can get them all ready for the next parody and they won't be able to resist 'cause they're so exausted!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

So, (I bet you thought I'd given this up, huh?) is *this* the last parody? NEVER... but anyway-- Will the cats recover from the long note in time to escape the author and her insane little mind? Will our favorite felines *really* have to be treated for depression? Probably... but moving on, will the author give up this sick 'Speedy Pita' joke? And who really cares? Find out all this and more next time on--- THE SPOOFLITE ZONE!!!! (do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do...)
