Chapter 24 Act II Scene II Tabio and Chocolate Point

Act II Scene II
Setting in the orchard outside the Chocolate family mansion

Chocolate Point:  Meowwwwww  Meeee  owww  I'm singing, singing for the fun and longing

Tabio: (to himself) She really has a wonderful voice,

Chocolate Point:  Mee  www, Meeeeoooow, how can I meet him again?   I don't even know what he looks like? He was dressed like a lion at the party, and I was a lioness, we are meant to be together!

Tabio: (to himself)  Yes, I know what she looks like, a Siamese!  They all look the same, but she has the deepest blue eyes.

Chocolate Point and Tabio at night

Chocolate Point:  Wait, do I hear someone in the tree?

Tabio:  Yes, you do I just slipped a bit.

Chocolate Point: Yes!! I know that voice,  Please show yourself,

Tabio:  You are the sun of my life, the laughter in my eyes, the catnip of my smile but you may be dismayed at my fur, it is not the cream of the Siamese. I'll stay hidden for a little while.

Chocolate Point: I'm tired of this cream and brown all the time.  I can't even tell my sisters apart anymore.  What do I care for a different color fur?

Tabio: What is this?  Tis true.  The color of the fur doesn't make the cat.  I have known a black cat, who was as soft as a kitten, and a piebald who was covered in dirt.

Chocolate Point: These ideas are hard to chew,  give me time to pounce on it.

Tabio: Pounce all you want, as long as you pounce with me.  Your eyes captivate me.
You are the sun, and I am the moon.  I'll sing to your beauty every night.

Chocolate Point.  Yowlllll Me oowwww,   Woooooowww

Tabio: I'll make it a duet  Meeow  Meoow, Weeeeeooooow, what fine music we make together. But you should know, I'm a tabby street cat.

Chocolate Point:  I never knew the song of a tabby.  such low and dark notes you sing.

Tabio: And your soprano is liting, plucking the strings of my heart.

Chocolate Cream: Come in now Chocolate Point!  It is getting cold outside and it is starting to snow.

Chocolate Point:  My singing tom, you had better go, or the snow will show every one of your steps, although the snow may cover your tabby fur. (louder) Yes nurse, I'm coming.   Is there some warm milk?  (to Tabio)  I still don't even know your name?  What is your family?   How can we meet again?

Tabio:  I'm Tabio, and I'm not in a distinguished family like yours.  I'll come back to this tree and we will meet again. Yeooooowwwwll

Chocolate Point:  Be quiet.  the nurse will suspect that it is not just me out here.

Tabio:  I'm sure of that!  I'll be discrete, but my heart is now yours, a song a day keeps the heart in the right way. Bye my sweet, tomorrow we'll meet. In this tree I'll dream of thee.

Chapter 23 Act II Scene 1 Tabio and Chocolate Point.

Prologue.

The scent is alive
Of new love abide
The Siamese
Are on their knees
The mixes are
At tens and sixes.

Chocolate Point, a dutiful daughter
Is caught between love and a mixed up bother.
Tabio loves again,
but uncertain to win.

The end not clear,
Breed vs free
Which will persevere?
Together or apart
At least it is a start.

 Scene I  - an alley filled with trash,  next to an orchard

Tabio: How can I go away from here, when my heart is singing her praises?  Oh, trash strewn path, lead me again to where my heart stopped beating.

Enter Daigo and Trashio

Daigo: Tabio! I know that you are here!  I didn't see you leave that party.  You must have snuck out while I wasn't looking.

Trashio: What do you mean?  He surely hightailed it out of there when we saw the son of Chocolate Hurricane. I didn't know Siamese cats could be so big and brawny!

Daigo:  What?  No, that wasn't muscle it was just his costume.  I saw the stuffing fall out of that leopard's costume as he was trying to jump.  I'm not afraid of him!

Trashio: Tabio, I'm yowling now, you have to come home now.  Well, not that our home is anything to look at, or to smell.  But really, now you need to come out and talk some sense! I swear. Tabio has done it again, and went and fallen in love.  I can tell. I saw it the last time with Blackithia.  But really, Tabio, she's a Siamese!  What can you have in common?  I have never even seen a Siamese come near a street cat? What can you be thinking?

Tabio: (speaks softly to himself) She doesn't know that I'm not a Siamese, I'll keep my secret a bit longer

Daigo: Come out Tabio!  I'm adding my voice to Trashes'  We gotta get out of here before the Siams' come out and trash the place.  He's fallen hard this time, Trash.  A dainty paw, blue eyes, large ears, long whiskers, I'm dreaming already. But I'm not falling.  Nope, not me. I'm done with that foolishness.   Tabio, cat it out of there.

Trashio:  Hey Daig.  Lets scat, let's face it Tabs is well hidden and doesn't want to be found.  Maybe the gal has already found out that he's not a Siam and gave him the slip.  I'm not going to search this place, it smells!

Daigo: You're telling me that this place smells?  What's your name again?

Trashio:  Hey, don't be hashing me.  I'm scatting catting and gone.

Daigo: What? Hey, don't leave me here by myself!  I'm afraid of the dark!

Trashio:  Now you tell me.   Tabio, if you are there, then take care, buds.  Don't get caught by the Hurricane.

Exit Trashio and Daigo

Chapter 22 The Street Cats arrive at the Party! Act 1 Scene 6

Daigo: Hey Man, this is cool, As we enter the Siamese make way and let us in!

Trashio: I haven't had this much fun in a long time!  This Siamese party is the best, they have a Yowler Cat Band, and over there, look there is a movie!

Tabio: It's is not a movie! The Humans are putting on a play.  It is an old play, with music, and we cats can see it though that window.  Honestly. Trashio, can't you tell the difference between a window and a TV? Let me remember the name? Yes, West Side Story, about two rival gangs.  There is a boy and a girl from different gangs and they fall in love.   I love it!

Trashio: I haven't been inside a house for ages, you know that!  I just love that Yowler band!  Can I join in?

Tabio:  No, don't do that, your voice will give us away.

Daigo: I'm going to eat. Wow, liver pate on a cracker, stewed pigeons, milk punch,  what a treat!

Tabio: Whoa, look at that lioness! She's beautiful.  Diago go find out her name!

Trashio:  Wait, let me fix you up, old boy.  Here, fluff out the mane, tuck the zipper in. There you go.

Tabio: Let me talk to her.  Roar, There, now she knows that I'm here.  Where are you going, you cute lioness?

Chocolate Point:  I'm on my way to the stewed pigeons, do you want one?

Tabio: Sure, I'll take one, and I'll take you too!

Chocolate Point:  All you lions are the same.  Take and take.

Tabio: Your blue eyes make my heart sing.

Chocolate Point. You say that to all the lionesses, I'm sure.

Tabio: I have never met a lioness like you.  You are the sunrise of my heart.

Chocolate Point:  When the sun rises, the party will be over.

Tabio: But I will be with you every sunrise of your life.

Chocolate Point: But after sunrise comes the sunset,

Tabio: And the sun will always shine in my heart like your eyes, shine in mine.

OChocolate Powder: Chocolate Point!  Come here, your father wants you to meet someone!

Chocolate Point: I have to go, my mother the hostess of the party, calls me to go.

Tabio: Till the sun rises, I'll be here.  Just whisper Tabio and I'll hear you all the days of my life.

Chocolate Powder: NOW!

Chocolate Point. Yes mother, I"m coming! (Tabio, what a strange Siamese name, no matter)

Tabio:  Daigo, are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Daigo: Yes, you just hit it off with the daughter of Chocolate Hurricane! You'd better be careful around him,   And here he comes now!  With his bodyguards!

Chocolate Time:  Dad, I'll chase those intruders out.  They obviously don't belong here, there's something not Siamese about them!

Chocolate Hurricane:  I'll not a have a cat fight in my house.  Let them stay.

Chocolate Time:  Let me smell them, no, they have not been groomed for a long time. Let me get my claws into them. grrr

Trashio, Daigo, and Tabio: grr, rwow.

Chocolate Hurricane: Boys Boys,  You can stay, I don't want any browling at the engagement party of my prize daughter, Chocolate Point.

Daigo: Its ok, we were just leaving, thank you for your hospitality, sir.

Trashio, Daigo, and Tabio exit

Chapter 21 Chocolate Point gets ready for The Cat Party! Act 1 Scene 5

Chocolate Powder:  Chocolate Point, Aren't you ready yet?

Chocolate Point: Why mother, You know I don't really want to go.

Chocolate Powder: Here it is, you'd better get ready because the guests are beginning to arrive!

Chocolate Point:  Really?  I'm just so, so,

Chocolate Powder:  Please, our family honor is at stake.

Chocolate Point: Oh, so that's why I have to be a lioness?  How boring.  Can I be the tiger?

Chocolate Powder: No, it is all set.  Your father wants to make the announcement at the end of the party that you are going to be mated.

Chocolate Point: So soon? Yes mother.  I know, it is the Siamese Cat way.  I'll be nice and modest as a lioness.  (but she doesn't know that in the wild lionesses are the head of the family! I'll show her!)

Chocolate Powder: Go out there and enjoy yourself. Listen, the music is starting.  That Cat band is really good, they get the right Yowl, in the right place.

Chocolate Point: Mother, really.  That's old folks music.  I'd like to do the Hip Hop.

Chocolate Powder: Get   Out   into   The   Party.  NOW

Chocolate Point: Ok, I'm going.  Roar!  (I'm getting into my character, If I don't like that lion, I'll run away!)

Chapter 20 Tabio and Friends choose costumes

Act 1 Scene 5

Daigo: Man, why does everything we do always come from the the trash!

Trashio: Hey dude, I'm the expert of finding stuff, do you want to look through the trash?

Tabio: Boys, we've been through this many times, if you keep it up I'll be the only one going to this party and you'll stay outside!

Trashio: Here are the cat costumes I told you all about!  Hey, here's a lion costume, a giraffe, a monkey, a tiger and a peacock.

Daigo: Yes, I'll go like a peacock!

Trashio: And I'll chase you and eat you!

Tabio: Boys!  Now, lets get down to business.  Let me see that lion costume.

Trashio: Hey, you don't want that one, that's not a lion, its a lioness costume. A lion has a Mane.

Tabio: What's the difference?

Trashio: Well, we'll put a mane on it.  Here's some brown yarn. Let's wrap it around. Yup, now it looks like a boy lion.

Daigo: What about Me?

Trashio:  Yes, I like your idea about the peacock.  Nobody will guess that you are a street cat in that!  Go on your back,  Let me get the zipper, whoops, it broke.  I guess that's why they are in the trash.  Beggars can't be choosers!

Tabio: Trash guy, what are you going to wear?

Trashio: Who me?  Ah, well, maybe I'll just go as a street cat.

Tabio:  No, that's the point!  We have to blend in with the party.  The invite says that all the cats will be in costume.  If you don't put on a costume they will know right away and get us all pawed out!

Trashio: So, I'll go as the tiger.  Whoa, this zipper is too long. But the perfume smells wonderful. I wonder who tried it on before me?  Yup, I'm in love with this smell!

Tabio: You always smell dude, what's new about that?  We all ready?  Daigo, put your tail up!

Daigo:  It is up.  This tail is too heavy.

Tabio: Maybe you'll meet a lady peacock and fall in love?

Daigo: Just my luck, I've got a tailache already.

Tabio: Hey Trashio, can you manage with that tiger?  That zipper is soo long!

Trashio: Quiet, and if you don't watch out I'll take off your mane and you'll have to run from all the other toms!

Tabio: Ok, let's stop catting around and get going, what time do we have to be there?

Trashio: Oh, it's not written here. Well, it's after dark, so let's just saunter over.

Trashio, Daigo and Tabio exit.

Chapter 19 Picky Chocolate Point's costume

Act 1 Scene 4

Chocolate Point: Human, I don't like that costume! It has a cheezy tail, it is too long! The stripes just don't go with my aura! Look at the zipper, it shows!

Chocolate Powder: Now daughter, don't complain so much. This party is being given for you!

Chocolate Point: So that's the Point! I have to look perfect, it's my party.

Chocolate Powder: The Royal Siamese is going to be there,  Maybe we will just not wear costumes.  Why be ashamed of our own fur?

Chocolate Point: No, no, that's the point! We all dress up so we CAN tell each other apart!

Chocolate Powder: Human,  Purr, purr, Please put a different costume on Chocolate Point?

Chocolate Point: Yes, I like that Lioness costume.  can I roar? Wait a minute, wait a minute, my tail is stuck.  Meow! Mom, help me please? Take it off! Rrwar!  That lioness costume is too big, give me the other one!

Chocolate Powder: If you would calm down, then the girl would be able to get everything ready.

Chocolate Point:  Maybe you are right, the point is to be ourselves, but the Lioness costume is soo cute.  I'll try again. Can I have some milk?

Chocolate Powder: Milk?  You haven't drunk milk in the longest time!

Chocolate Point:  It will help calm me down. Please? And throw those costumes that are broken out.  I don't want to see them!

Chocolate Powder: The Party starts in a half hour, so you promise to behave yourself?  Remember that we are counting on you to make the right choice of a mate.  All the eligible Siamese toms will be here soon, and you have to act lady like.

Chocolate Point: No playing in the chocolate powder? It was so much fun last time.  I ended up looking

like a chocolate cat!

Chocolate Powder:  Right.  Not acceptable. For. Tonight.

Chocolate Point:  You know I hate it when she talks like that.  Ok, Lioness suit, here I come! Rwrar!


Chocolate Point, Chocolate Powder and Human girl exit

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

Act ! Scene II

Chocolate Powder - (mother of Chocolate Point) Both are Siamese Cats 

My daughter, with those blue eyes, What do you think about getting married? 

Chocolate Point: But Mother, I"m only 6 months old! I'm haven't even reached my full size. 

Chocolate Powder: Yes, my daughter, I see, but as pure bred Siamese, we can't be too careful. We will have to find you another pure-bred Siamese, Blue point for you, the best male cat we can find. 

Chocolate Point: Well, mother, if you think that is best?  But can't I just find a male cat on my own? 

Chocolate Powder: We Siamese are a very special breed of cat, we are descended from the Royal Cats of the Kingdom of Siam, who guarded the Royal Residence.  We have to keep ourselves pure, and only marry other Siamese cats. 

Chocolate Point: But what I I fall in love with a different breed of cat? 

Chocolate Powder, It is not done for our kind.  

Chocolate Point:  But why, Mother? 

Chocolate Powder: We must keep our pedigree, you see.  It is the most important part of our heritage. 

I'll tell you what, Our humans are going to have a party this coming Thursday evening, inviting all of their friends, also to choose a bridegroom for their daughter.  It will be a costume party, so we will have a cat costume party!  That way we can tell all the Siamese apart.  We look so much alike sometimes that even I had trouble telling the boys from the girls when you were all kittens, not so long ago! 

Chocolate Point:  Yes, mother, let's do have a cat costume party! Oh Nurse! Come help me choose a costume! I'm so excited, Mother, 

Chocolate Powder:  That's much better, I had better go choose a costume too! 

Chocolate Point: Thank you mother! 

Exit Chocolate Point and Chocolate Powder.

Chapter 15 Chocolate Point and Tabio , A Play, Act 1

I have been persuaded to act in a play that was written by my great-grandfather, Tabspeare.  I'm really named for him, but I go by Tab.  The other cats in the neighborhood would really make fun of my full name. So don't tell them!

The play takes place in a neighborhood near you, the players are all cats of course.
Characters:
Trashio  and Daigo  - two male street cats friends of Tab
Midnight - the Mayor of the neighborhood
Tabio - a love sick street cat
Turner - Tabio's father
Taki-  Tabio's mother
Tibbles  - Turner's brother, uncle to Tabio
Thundr - male cat, best friend of Tabio

Chocolate Hurricane -Siamese cat, Chocolate Point's father
Chocolate Point - a female Siamese cat, daughter of Chocolate Hurricane
Chocolate Powder - Chocolate Point's mother
Chocolate Milk - Chocolate Point's brother

Black paws - female street cat best friend of Chocolate Point
Blackitha- Tab's former girlfriend cat

Act 1 Scene 1
Trashio :  When was the last time you chased a dog Daigo?

Daigo:  Yesterday, you know. they have gotten to be afraid of me.

Trashio: Well, those Siamese are like dogs, a whole clan of them just moved into the neighborhood, they roam all around catching all the mice, then there aren't any left for us.

Daigo: So let me chase them.  They will be out of here in a flash.

Trashio: Those Siamese think that they are the cream of the crop.

Daigo:  Well they are cream color.

Trashio: They hold their tails high, catch all the mice.

Daigo: But they have the kink at the end of their tails.

Trashio: They are so proud.

Daigo: Here comes one now, Chocolate Hurricane,  his tail is so high, I want to fight him!

Trashio: Yes, lets.

The Siamese and the two cats fight.

All the Cats: Rroww, Reeeel , Yowl, YYYYeeeeoool, Growwwl, Yeol, Rroww, Grrrrr!!!

Midnight, the Mayor cat, who is black with white paws and a white chest comes because of the noise of the three fighting cats.

Daigo: Hey here comes the Mayor!

Trashio: Midnight, sir, we were not doing nothing, sir.

Midnight:  Yes, and why are you still growling?  What is this fight about?   You, two tribes, the street cats and the Siamese, are disturbing the peace of our fair neighborhood.   Cat nature is deeper than the color of their fur.

Daigo:  Yes, sir, we will stop now. (I'm not so sure of that, a Siamese, is a pure breed, who hold their tails high)

Trashio:  As long as the Siamese keep to themselves, and we'll not bother them.

Midnight leaves the scene.

Daigo:  Let's scat, oh, I see Tabio, he's still in love with Blackitha, he yowls to the moon to her every night.

Trashio: Well, she split and I haven't seen her for a long time.

Daigo:  Tab is broken hearted. I've never seen him so, hasn't held his tail up for a long time.

Trashio: We should distract him, and go chase some dogs.

Daigo: Yes, you do the chasing and I'll get Tabio.

Exit Trashio, Daigo,
