Chapter 17 Chocolate Point and Tabio Act 1 Scene 3

The scene opens outside with the Street Cats. They are discussing an interesting piece of paper that Trashio found.  The weather is a bit cold and windy.

Enter Trashio, Daigo and Tabio

Trashio:  Hey guys, look what I found!

Daigo: Ah, you are always in the Trash, Trashio, what so is interesting about a piece of paper anyway. I can't read, so what?

Tabio: Hey let me see that! I used to live in a house where the Human mother used to read to the kids every day, so I got to know a bit of Human writing.

Trashio: Maybe I'll keep it to myself and let you cats keep on wondering!

Tabio: No really, I do know how to read.  Can you please let me see it?

Trashio:  Well, ok, but if you Daigo make one more crack about me finding things, I'll fight you!

Daigo: Rwow,,

Trashio:  Troww  Rgwo

Tabio: Hey you two stop your singing match.  Lets not fight now, I want to see this paper you found Trashio.

Trashio,: Ok, but if you don't want to go I'll go myself!

Tabio: Hey I thought that you didn't know how to read!

Trashio: You find a lot of neat stuff in the trash,  I found a book that teaches how to read, so there!

Tabio: So let me see it already!

Trashio gives the paper to Tabio

Tabio: Wow, now this is interesting, I bet you cats want to go to a party?

Daigo: A party?  Wow, with food and pretty kit kats?  I'm game.

Tabio: Yes, there will be a party at the Human Siamese breeder's place, you know that big mansion, and they are going to choose a male for Chocolate Point, the Siamese girl who just came of age.

Trashio: So what?  A human party.  That's no fun.  They always chase us cats otta that kind of thing.

Tabio: No, wait, there's more, listen to this!  "Please bring your cats dressed up in costume. There will be a cat parade, and the most interesting cat in costume will get a prize!"

Trashio:  Cats in costumes, cat costumes.  Yes!  I know just the place where I saw yesterday a pile of cat costumes just put out in the trash.  Come on guys, we have nothing to lose.  If we wear costumes, then we'll just blend into the party and we can crash it without anyone knowing that we are not Siamese!

Daigo:  Count me in, but make sure these costumes are clean.  I'm not going to go to a party smelling like garbage.

Trashio:  Yeah, I know.  I'm sorry for last time.  It was my fault.

Daigo: Now you tell me.

Tabio: Now boys, no fighting, remember?  We have to find these costumes and be ready for the party.  I wonder if Blackitha will be there? I really miss her.

Daigo: Hey Tabio, stop thinking about the past.  I saw her split. She was picked up by a human and taken away.  She seemed quite pleased at the time.

Tabio:  I didn't know that.  So, she's gone.

Trashio:  So, cheer up Tab, old boy, I bet there will be many other chicks at this party that would love to meet a strong, young male like you.

Tabio:  But she was the love of my life!

Trashio: Can't be helped, this type of thing always happens to us street cats, the humans take us, a car runs over a few, some get stuck in the trash.  Its the fact of life for us in the street, man.  Come on, we have to find those costumes and get ready to crash a party!

Daigo:  Yeah, lets scat cat.

Tabio: You're right Trashio. I'll just have to try to forget her, those eyes so dark and deep, I just wanted to look at her forever. Sigh.

Trashio:  Now Tabio, snap out of it.  We're going to this party to have a bit of fun, remember?
Come on. and stop your mooning.

Daigo: What is taking you two so long.  If you don't start moving I'm going to show you my claws.  I keep them nice and sharp.

Tabio: As we all do, Rwrrrrw

Trashio:  Now, now boys.

Exit Trashio, Daigo and Tabio
