VALENTINE'S DAY

Setting:The Junkyard
When:Valentine's Day

ALONZO:*yawns* Geez, I took a long nap! It's almost sunset!
MISTOFFELEES (walking up): Hey there Lonnie! Happy Valentine's Day!
ALONZO: *gasps* Oh no! It's Valentine's Day? OH NO!!!!!!
MISTOFFELEES: Uh-oh, did someone's knight in black and white forget about their important date tonight?
ALONZO: It's Valentine's Day?
MISTOFFELEES : *groans* His train of thought is still boarding at the station. Yes, it is VALENTINE'S DAY, and you promised Jezzie the most romantic night of her life. Can you do it?
ALONZO: How could I have forgotten? *holds his head in his paws*
POUNCIVAL (arriving at the worst time possible) : Hey, 'Lonzo! Guess what Bellvoix and I are doing tonight? We're going out to dinner at the Posh Spot, then off to the cabaret at Bustopher Jones' nightclub. Sounds great, huh?
MISTOFFELEES : *steps in front of ALONZO because he's ready to throttle POUNCIVAL* Haha, that's sounds so boring compared to what our Lonnie has planned for Jezzie!
POUNCIVAL : Oh yeah? Whatcha gonna do?
JEZZIE (appears out of thin air): Who's doing what? Alonzo, there you are! *kisses him* I can't wait til tonight! I'm so excited! *notices the other toms* Oops! Guess I intruded on a planning session, huh? *giggles* Well, I'll see you all later! *blows ALONZO a kiss and disappears again*
POUNCIVAL: Well, good luck planning, big brother---you're gonna need it! *snorts and walks away* ALONZO : *wails* WHAT AM I GOING TO DO!!!!! I'm not a romantic like you are, Misto! I'm just a regular tom! I promised her so much, and I feel like such a jerk!
MISTOFFELEES: I don't know--do something from the heart! If she loves even half as much as she says, she'll adore it. Anyway, I've got to go get ready for MY date.
ALONZO: You have a date? Who is it?
MISTOFFELEES : *winks* That's for me to know and you to find out! Later Spotty! *disappears in a puff of smoke*
ALONZO: From the heart? What can I do that's from the heart? *he starts pacing, and trips over a notepad* Who the heck put that there? *picks it up and reads it; his face lights up as he does* I'VE GOT AN IDEA!

LATER.......

BELLVOIX: I can't believe you, Pounce! Of all the bad manners!!!
POUNCIVAL : Look, I'm sorry! I didn't know that I wasn't supposed to sing with them! They sounded like they were caterwauling, so I just joined in!
BELLVOIX : This "N'SYNC" is big business to the humans--so what if they can't sing? So, now that we're kicked out of all the nightclubs in the city, where can we go?
POUNCIVAL: I have an idea...... *whispers in her ear*
BELLVOIX : You can't be serious! Now? *he nods* Oh, all right! *follows him away*
*JEZZIE appears in a flash of light*
JEZZIE : Alonzo? Here I am! *looks around* Where is he? *her eyes, searching the area, see a small envelope with her name on it.* What could this be? *she opens and reads*

"I have walked in darkness until now,
With your shining face before me.
Your eyes are pools of passion and innocence,
Tumbled in the myriad flow.
How did I ever survive the empty nights,
The unfulfilling days,
The hours of tears,
And the years of longing?
All I know is that I refuse
To continue without you.
My angel will walk by my side
For the rest of my days.
I will never cease to long for you,
Because to love you now
Is never enough
For an Angel like you.
I champion your name
From the highest peak.
And you and I will walk,
Paw in paw,
Into the light,
Together."

JEZZIE : Oh.......this is the most amazing thing anyone has ever done for me......but where is he?
ALONZO : Right behind you, Angel.
JEZZIE : Alonzo! *she runs to him and he kisses her tenderly* How did you do that? It's the most beautiful thing I've ever read!
ALONZO : You like it?
JEZZIE : Like it? I love it......and I love you! *they kiss again* MISTOFFELEES : stomps onto the scene* I have NEVER been so HUMILIATED in my life!
JEZZIE : What's wrong?
MISTOFFELEES : My date was HORRENDOUS!
ALONZO : That's right! Who was your date anyways, Misto?
MISTOFFELEES : *mumbles*
JEZZIE : Speak up, Misto! We can't hear you!
MISTOFFELEES : BOMBALURINA! *blushes furiously*
JEZZIE : Oh....my......*looks at ALONZO and tries to contain her giggles* What made it so......horrendous?
MISTOFFELEES : She tried to put her TONGUE in my mouth!
ALONZO : Such a hard life, Misto.....*smothers a burst of laughter*
BOMBALURINA : *appears around the corner* Oh Mis-to! Where's my little baby? There you are!
MISTOFFELEES : Oh no! *runs with BOMBA in pursuit*
JEZZIE : I hope it works out for them.......
ALONZO : Me too..... *they gaze at each other lovingly* I love you, my sweet Angel.
JEZZIE : I love you too.........*they begin to kiss again*
*MUNKUSTRAP watches them from a distance* Well, at least one couple had a good Valentine's Day.....
DEMETER : Munk? Darling, OUR date hasn't started yet.
MUNKUSTRAP : Why, I do believe you're right! Come long, my dear----I've got lots of surprises in store for you tonight!

THE END

Go back to the Gathering. ZZIE
