5 PM - A Love Story

Fade In

FIN sleeps on the big bed. She stretches sweetly as she realizes the time draws close. FIN takes a long and luxurious lick bath, making sure each fur is in its place. She leaps from the bed and lands soundly on the bedroom floor, she takes a moment to re-adjust her fur.

Suddenly FIN realizes her bath has taken too long and hurriedly begins her preparations. FIN dashes to the kitchen and wolfs down any remnants of food in her dish. She runs to the living room and moves her mouse SCOOTEY back to his place under the table. FIN realizes his placement is too perfect, and tries to adjust him with her paws. Still not right, she picks him up in her mouth and tosses him gently so he lands belly-up and casual-like. FIN is pleased with the results.

(Cue sound effect of car on the street and the garage door opener) FIN runs through the office towards the laundry room. She sits down and tries several poses in an effort to look welcoming, but not overly so. She also tries several lying down positions.

(Cue sound effect of a car pulling into the garage on the other side of the laundry room door. The lumbering sounds of a human woman approach the door).

FIN (excitedly rolls unto her back exposing her soft tender underbelly): Meowme Meowme! Ra-ow Ra-ow!

The door opens to reveal MOMMY as she enters from the garage. MOMMY's face is transformed with love as she sees our leading lady.

MOMMY (Sweetly as she drops her purse and bows towards FIN): How is my perfect furry girl? I missed you today. Did you miss me?

FIN (lovingly as she wriggles with joy): Mer-ow, Mew!

MOMMY bends down and scoops up sweet FIN in her arms. FIN basks in the adoration (for a full 10 seconds) as MOMMY squeezes her.

FIN (indicating she would like to be set down now): Mah!

MOMMY gently places FIN on the floor as she heads down the hall. Out of the corner of FIN's eye she sees THE BALL has placed itself in MOMMY's path. FIN races past MOMMY and attacks THE BALL with a solid blow to it's evil green plastic. THE BALL rolls cowardly into the living room as FIN races beyond to ensure it's submission.

THE BALL (fearfully): Tinkle Tinkle Tinkle

MOMMY (filled with awe): You saved me my sweet cat!

MOMMY and FIN go into the kitchen together. MOMMY cracks open a can of food while our leading lady rubs against her legs. We hear loud purring. The screen edges pull in till MOMMY and FIN are surrounded by a black screen in a heart shape.

THE END

Fade Out

    I discussed the SIF favoritism issue with LSIHF, who's back to full crazyness, and she said we could at least try to get away with it. Ha! That's LSIHF, you gotta love her cattitude.

  17. What a great heartwarming story! Is there a sequel where she catches a glimpse of Scootey, jumps on a chair yelling "Eeek! A mouse!" (Even though he looks like a hedgehog) and yOu come to her rescue and kill the little beastie?

    I was trying to work on my Acatemy post but I doubt I will be able to do it as the wee lad's birthday party is tomorrow. I told the PM she should just have it at MacDonalds and let someone else do the work but she just glared at me.

    I tried....

  27. Yes Fin, the movie short and story go together. Mommy wasn't sure if the youtube short would work because she used the HD youtube upload. We wish there was a way you could add to a post you already put up. Maybe it is due to the style we chose. Thanks for your very nice comment of our story and movie short. =^Y^=the Cat Street Boyz
