Jenny: Call 911! When Veroni gets creative, we get bruised and bashed in the head... (has a flashback to "Cat Mis")

(Jenlucy and Linounce are out walking, and she is explaining to her little brother all about the little known facts of nature when Munklie Brown strolls by to listen into the lesson.)

Misto: I don't know why you're explaining the stage directions to us! We're stuck together and the only thing we could do which would hold to this setup would be a number from "A Chorus Line"!

Veroni: HEY! Now there's an idea for a parody...

Others in the Chain: Nice going, Misto.

Jenny: (is chained next to Pounce, so at least this part works) Do you see this tree?

It is a fir tree.

It's called a fir tree because it gives us fur for coats

It also gives us wool in the winter time.

Pounce: Wow! I never knew that before, Jenlucy! That's very interesting...

Jenny: (is supposed to pull Pounce by the paw over to look at something, but because of their 'predicament', winds up yanking everyone after her in a bit of a domino effect)

This is an elm tree

It's very little

But it will grow up into a giant tree-- an Oak!

You can tell how old it is by counting it's leaves!

Pounce: Gosh, Jenlucy! That's very interesting!

Munku: (is on the other end of the line, so they form a bit of a horseshoe as he walks up to the other two) Now wait a minute! I don't mean to interfere but...

Jenny: (continues as best she can) And way up there those puffy little white things

Those are clouds... they make the wind blow!

And way down there, those tiny little black things...

Those are bugs. They make the grass grow!

Tugger: (holding a bag of popcorn as the manacled cats onstage struggle to keep up with the now moving all over the place, Jennyanydots) This is even better than cable.

Tumble: Bugs make the grass grow? Wow. You learn something new every day!

Veroni: Only someone with very little brain would believe what Jenny's say--- (looks Tumble up and down) Well, that explains it.

Tumble: V! You're interrupting what Jenny's saying! She's the smartest person I've ever heard!

Jenny: And way up there

The little stars and planets

Make the rain that falls in showers

And when it's cold and winter is upon us

The snow comes up (points towards the sky and Misto is yanked off his feet, only to be dropped on his tail, bringing Cori down with him)

Just like the flowers!

Munku: (attempts to avoid the kitty moshpit on the floor) Now wait a minute, Jenlucy! I know that's wrong! Snow doesn't come up, it comes down!

Jenny: After the snow comes up, the wind blows it around so it looks like it's coming down, but actually, it's coming up out of the ground like grass! It comes up, Munklie Brown! SNOW COMES UP!

Jelly: And we trust her with the education of our little kittens? I am shocked and appalled!

Jem: And I'm Jemima.

Lec: And I'm Electra.

Both: Nice to meet you.

(He is supposed to storm off the stage, but since that would involve pulling one or more kitty thespians appart at the arm sockets, he kinda kneels down.)

Jenny: (shrugs and sings) Clouds can make the wind blow!

Bugs can make the grass grow!

So there you go! These are little known facts that now

YOU KNO-O-O-O-O-O-OW!!

(On her last note, Jenny walked foreward and misjudged the end of the stage.... falling into the orchestra pit and pulling all 5 of her costars into it with her, one by one)

Jenny: EEP!! (falls in)

Pounce: AURGH! (follows her down)

Dem: AIIIEEE!!! (land with a thud)

Misto: HEEEEEEEELP! (lands with a few ouches from the cats already down there)

Cori: YIPES!! (thunk)

Munku: LOOK OUT BELOW!!!

Veroni: (waits a long moment and peers into the pit) You all okay down there?

Misto: Well, the cymbal on the drum kinda chopped the chain in half so things are looking up ever so slightly.

Jenny: A FRACTION OF THAT "SLIGHTLY"!

(The cats scramble out of the pit, now split into two groups..... Jenny, Pounce and Demeter making up one and Misto, Cori and Munku making up the other one.)

Veroni: ALRIGHT! I love this next song... oh, glad you guys are alright too.

(Next scene: Misnoopy is sitting on top of his doghouse putting on an act of being half dead with his one arm hidden from view so our chained thespian kitties can't be seen.)

Misto: My stomach clock just went off. It's suppertime and Munklie Brown has forgotten to feed me. Here I lie... a withering hollow, shell of a dog. And there sits my supper dish..... EMPTY! (sighs LOUDLY) But that's alright. He'll remember. When no furry friend comes to greet him afterschool, then he'll remember and he'll come rushing out here to the doghouse, but it'll be too late. There'll be nothing left but the dried carcass of the former friend who used to love to run and play so happilly with him. (gets VERY dramatic) NOTHING BUT THE BLEACHED PUPPY BONES OF....

Munku: (walks out from behind the doghouse with a chained Coricopat in tow) Hey Misnoopy! You asleep or something? I've been standing here a whole five minutes with your supper!

Misto: (springs to life) SUPPERTIME??? SUPERTIME?????

(sings with a great fanfare, flourishing his hand and sending Coricopat bouncing off the doghouse each time.)

BEHOLD! The brimming bowl of meat and meal

Cori: **thunk** Ow.

Misto: (flourishes again) Which is brought forth to ease our hunger!

Cori: **thunk** Ow again.

Misto: (gigantic flourish) Behold the flowing flagon moist and sweet

Which has been sent to slake our thirst!

Cori: **THUNK** Mother.

(The music changes to a blues-ey style and Misto dons a pair of dark glasses (ala Joe Cool).)

Misto: Doo Doo

Doo Doo Doo Doo

Doo Doo Doo

Doo Doo

Doo Doo

It's suppertime

Bustopher: At last!! I was beginning to think I'd starve waiting for the end of this parody!!

Jem: For you, Bustopher? EVERY TIME is suppertime...

Misto: (rolls eyes and continues) Yeah, it's suppertime

Oh, it's sup-sup-suppertime,

Very best time of day!

It's suppertime

Yeah, it's sup-per-time

And when suppertime comes,

Can supper be far away?

(Misto kneels down and starts to bounce a little to the music, causing his chained buddies to fall flat on their face and look like they're going into convulsions.)

Misto: Bring on the soup dish, bring on the cup

Bring on the bacon and fill me up!

Cause it's SUPPER!

SUPPER, SUPPER, SUPPERTIME!

(He gets up and starts to snap his one free paw while whistling and doing a little scat singing, dragging the other two after him.)

Misto: B-R-R-RING on the dog food, bring on the bone! (drags the other two into something resembling a kick line.)

Bring on the barrel and roll me home

Cause it's SUPPER

SUPPER, SUPPER, SUPPER (**kick**)

SUPPER

SUPER-PEPPER-UPPER (**kick**)

SUPPER

SUPER-DUPER SUPPERTIME!!! (**kick**)

Munku: Alright.... gettin' sore here!!

Cori: Oh suck it up! Misto's really into this and it isn't gonna go much longer...

Munku: Why do I feel like telling him those are famouse last words?

Misto: (speaks in rhythm) Wintertime's nice with the ice and snow

Summertime's nice with a place to go

Bedtime, overtime, halftime too

But they just can't hold a CANDLE TO MY SUPPERTIME!!!!!

OH YEAH!!!!

(aside) Hello fic readers! How are ya?

Veroni: And that, my little buddies, is called breaking the fourth wall.

Misto: I did not harm the wall!

Veroni: It's a theatrical term, ya moron!

Misto: Oh.... and hey!

(back into character and still groovin' to the music)

BR-R-RING ON THE HAMBURG!

BRING ON THE BUN!

PAPPY'S LITTLE PUPPY LOVES EV'RYONE!

CAUSE IT'S SUPPER

SUPPER, SUPPER, SUPPER!

SUPPER

SUPER PEPPER-UPPER!

SUPPER!

SUPER DUPER SUPPERTIME!

Offstage Cats: SUPPERTIME!! (sing this repeatedly while Misto gets a chance for major ad-libbing and dancing)

Misto: C'mon bring on the meat!..... It's time to eat!..... Bring on the food!..... Bring on the hamburg!.... Bring on the crazy hotdog!.... Bring on the--- uh-oh. Sorry guys!

(Let's explain what happened there, shall we? Misto was really getting into the song and decided to do one of his favorite dancesteps... those neat little spins. This is normally quite an awesome thing to watch and looks REALLY impressive.... unless said dancer forgets that he has two other guys chained to his arm and begins the spins without giving them any warning... and we-ell....)

Munku: Give it a chance, he says! Misto's really loving this, he says! Nothing bad can happen he says..

Cori: Listen Munku... will you stop spinning for a second so I can talk to you?

Veroni: Eh, Cori? That's the room spinning...

Cori: Oh... isn't that nice? (faints and is down for the count)

Munku: Before I do likewise, (looks down at Cori) TOLD YA SO!!

Veroni: Feel better?

Munku: Yes. And if you could just give me some seasick medication, things would be perfect with the world... (faints too)

Misto: I'm guessing a simple "Ooops" and appology isn't going to get me far here, huh?

Veroni: (shakes her head and mouths no)

Misto: Oh. Well, then at least I should be able to do this....

(back into character, speaks) So what's wrong with making mealtime a joyous occasion?

(sings)

SUPPER! SUPPER! SUPPER! SUPPERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-TIME!!!

Veroni: Nice, Misto. (looks at the two cats on the floor) Well, there is a plus side to all this...

Misto: What?

Veroni: Look at your wrist...

Misto: (looks at the chain which held him to Munku and Cori) Hey look! They broke!

Munku: (slogs to his feet) Yeah, we broke free and sailed into opposite walls by about the eleventh spin.

Misto: Ouchies.

Cori: (gets up too) YER TELLIN' ME!!!

(The rest of the gang arrives on stage, chain free)

Veroni: Wow! You're free! How did you ever manage that?

Jenny: I wanna kiss the guy who invented the hacksaw!

Veroni: Oh.

(The last scene now.... the gang is on stage in their PJ's, almost ready to call it a night)

Jenny: Well, I don't know, Linouce. It looks like an airplane to me the way the lights are blinking on and off. Corhoeder? Is that an airplane or a star?

Cori: I believe that is a star, though after spinning around with Misto, I'm seeing enough of them already, so maybe I'm not the best one to ask...

Veroni: GUYS? SCRIPT!!!

Pounce: Well, we'll never find out by just sitting here.

Jenny: Where are you going?

Pounce: Over here so Misto can be the center of attention for his line. And I also want to have plenty of clearance just on the off-chance that he decides he needs to break into a song and dance number.

Veroni: (whimpers and throws the script up in the air.)

Misto: I like to sit up here after supper and listen to the sounds of the night. But somehow, something seems to be missing. (Lets out a loud, long HOWL) In my opinion, that's exactly what was needed.

Munku: (on the other end of the stage, is holding a pencil) I'm so happy! The little red-furred queen dropped her pencil. It has teeth marks all over it. She nibbles her pencil..... She's feline!! Well, I guess it hasn't been such a bad day after all.

(sings)

Happiness is finding a pencil

Misto: Pizza with sausage

Pounce: Telling the time

Cori: Happiness is learning to whistle

Pounce: Tying your shoe for the very first time

Dem: Happiness is playing the drum in your own school band

Munku: And happiness is walking hand in hand

Happiness is two kinds of ice cream

Jenny: Knowing a secret

Cori: Climbing a tree

Munku: Happiness is five different crayons

Cori: Catching a firefly... setting him free!

Munku: Happiness is being alone every now and then

All: And happiness is coming home again!

(Veroni is getting VERY sniffly and reaches for a tissue.)

Munku: (tears in HIS eyes now too) Happiness is morning and evening

Daytime and nighttime too

For happiness is anyone and anything at all

That's loved by you

Pounce: (big sincere smile to Jenny) Happiness is having a sister..

Jenny: (starts to sniffle) Sharing a sandwich..

Both: Getting along.

All: Happiness is singing together when day is through

And happiness is those who sing with you

Happiness is morning and evening

Daytime and nighttime too (voices fade out as Munku sings solo)

Munku: For happiness is anyone and anything at all

That's loved by you.

(They all slowly part instead of leaving the stage like it says in the script. Jenlucy takes Munklie by the hand and joins the rest in the background as Veronikitty comes to the stage and faces the audience.)

Veroni: (looks up at the sky) YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLES SCHULZ!!!!!
