Saturdaynight Insomnia Theater

[dodd4]

AT THE GOLF COURSE....
"oh good show!" the grand tuxedo tom declared, then Bustopher was heard to mutter, "and the sooner that I get out of this plaid polyester neon nightmarre the better!"
Stubby shook his head, "na Moore tis workin tha dispatch! an ya have ta have more faith in tha lads they know thier job!" the old tom said then he cokced an eyebrow and asked Kid Munkus, "an what be with tha mask lad ya mean ta make an impression with those fair costumed cailíns?"

MEANWHILE UNDER CITY HALL....
the coridore that the pair of shapely queens dashed down opened ito a fair sized room with a table atwhich sat several goons and spaced out along the wall beyond them was aflight of stairs, an elevator and a ladder all going up.
with a cartwheel and a spring Bomba gracefuly landed in the middle of the table
fluidly setteling on the surface thouroghly distracting the toms and setting them up for Whitemane, "why hello boys," she purred.

[Graymane]

AT THE COURSE....
"No actually I'm going to a party." He pulled a item from his pocket and handed it to Stubz, "Don't tell me you forgot about the Great Train Robery Costume Party!" He leaned closer to Stubz "This party is the perfect cover for Jerky, he wont be able to resist going as his employer the Mayor to have some relaxing fun or as his butler, the Mayor himself is going as well, but who as I've no idea. The girls are coming too. Besides, if Whitemane's right, then Mayor Butler's butler is the Jerk we're after. All the more reason to not be recognised by him when we board the train for the party."

UNDER CITY HALL....
Whitemane came to a halt as Bomba did her improve tabledance, each tom had their eyes locked on the red and white Amazonian that was on the center table. Which allowed Whitemane to find a proper way out. Seeing the ladder as the most obvious path out she ignored the elevator and disappeared, litterally before reappearing at the top of the stairs, peeking out she spotted two of Jerks fellows at the top of the stairs, Doormen apparently. Jerk nowhere to be seen. She disappeared from the top of the stairs and reappeared in the corridor once more.

Now all she had to do was get Bomba and they could get out. But she needed a mental image of the room they were to go to, unless Bomba knew where they were headed. In which case she could trust Bomba's memory. She gave a thumbs up to Bomba, she'd found the path out of there

[dodd4]

AT THE GOLF COURSE.....
Bustopher winced when Stubinz ducked behind the golfbag and did a quick change of his own coming out wearing a large sombrero, crossed ammunition
bandoliers and gunbelts saying, "Okays Queeks Draw!"

Bustopher sihed, "it IS a sound plan, supriesingly, but I can not but dread what the Costumer has in store for me!"

UNDER CITY HALL....
seeing Whitemanes sign, the curvacious scarlet queen spun on the table top stoping herself by gripping the edge near her head, and rolling up soundly kicking the two Goons on that side her momentum caring her off the table while flipping it onto the rest.
"thanks Boys you were a great audiance, really!" she called as she lightly danced up the stairs. at the top she grabbed one of the Doormen and gave him a liplock.
when the other swung what was to be a rabitpunch on the beauftiful queen kissing his partner she ducked out of the way with a fluid split. with a loud THUMP
one Doorman Ko'ed the other! the scarlet queen nimbely rolled out of the way sweping a long shapely leg to knock the remaing Doormans feet out from him leaving him stunned on the floor.
Bomba flashed Whitemane a brilliant smile, "the Exit should be this way!"

[Graymane]

AT THE COURSE
"I am quite sure it is nothing to worry about Commissionor, I am told you look grand in a suit." Chrome said as he set up for the putt. When he knocked the ball in he was told one over par, that was fine with him. Then he saw Munkus and his sorry excuse for a Mexican by his side. "Though I am unsure of how you two will fit in. After all, it takes a village. Make sure your boys are also in disguses of some form or another. No telling who might spot a cop. After all, if what you say is true, then the target of your crimes in this area cannot resist the chance at such a party event." Imagine that, cross country costume party!

When Kid Munkus came up to putt he said to BJ, "What he said. Even though it was supposed to be my line." He then took his putt just as a loud WHOCK followed by an even louder THUMP, followed by a shattering of a plate was heard. Along with a faint voice saying "Call a medic! My tail's tangled in Mannys' legs!" Apparently Manny got some before the two fell off the bed. Munkus kept a straight as possible face as he made par on the hole with his putt aside from the sound affects. He turned to Stubz "I believe that is ten for me ?" The studio audience laughed and cheered as Munkus finally won a bet for once.

AT CITY HALL
Upon finding the top of the stairs cleared, Whitemane smiled "Nice job I think you got 'em," Then she checked the pulse of one of the two 'guards' and then pickpocketed him, two tickets to the Great Train Robbery Party. "Here's your ticket, and here's mine." Whitemane read her ticket name aloud, "Tinker Bill..... that just has to be a misprint." They then needed to get to the train station. But first thing was first, ,get their real tickets, though sadly Chromechaser followed them BOTH with the camera in a nice tight shot.

Whitemane lead the way. She went right to the ticket booth, "Hey, Who's is charge of mental health ?" She asked

"I am sorry ?" The russian blue replied.

"Who's the top dog, the head-fellow. Who pays the tab on the pad, who signs the scrolls ?"

"Oh! You want tickets ?" At the look he handed over a pair of proprr tickets. Now they were in the clear.

Whitemane turned to Bomba, "To the train ?"

[dodd4]

AT THE GOLF COURSE....
Stubby shook his head, then he took off his sombrero reached inside and counted out ten feli-dollars, "ya will have ta wait on gettin it from His Nibbs, Wadrobe has gone an nabbed him allready!"
it was true while the camera was elsewhere the grandly proportioned tuxedo tom
had indeed been whisked off the set. "well do ya lads mind ifin ah take his shot?"
the mangeled old tom asked as he squated next to the ball squinted then he took out another golf ball and set it on the turf...and reversed his hold on the golfclub and used it like a pool cue to shoot the first ball into the hole.

AT THE TRAIN STATION...
the scarlet queen gave a tinkiling laugh, "oh yes lets do!" she replied falling into
step hith Whitemane with an artful swish of her tail. "and that really is his name! humans can be so weired you know?" Bomba continued as she sashayed up the Railcars steps.  the scarlet queen gave a sultry smile to the Conductor, "oooooh I do like a Tom in Uniform..." she purred as she gave him a wink and her ticket, "I'll seat myself , but please...come looking for me."

[Graymane]

At the Golf Course
"Not at all" President Chrome replied. He stood aside and watched how Stubz shot the hole good and proper. "Very nice. You sure you're not a Billardardo ?" Chrome went and teed off for the next hole. they were merely burning time until BJ returned.

Munkus snickered. When Stubz stood next to him after taking his shot, "Nice shot, makr it down as a par on Bj's score card will you ?" He said while pocketing the money

At The Train Station
Whitemane merely rolled her eyes. Well, that was that, "Somehow I cannot help but feel a strike of pity for the tom, then again my own brother Collison did not get named that by accident as it is" Collision was a solid black cat, with the same type of fur as Whitemane, the only difference between the twins was their fur color, and the perchant for getting into the wrong thing at the wrong time all the time was suckered into the male of the two. "In case you wonder, he nearly made it to down town detroit and back without waking up, then again he was totally furless when he got out of that trucks engine compartment. Totally spooked the driver too at the time" She followed Bomba onto the train, following where her ticket lead to a berth number, "Here we are, suit 58." Whitemane opened the door to the dinky room.

[dodd4]

AT THE GOLF COURSE.....
"I SAY REALLY.."
Stubinz leaned in to Kid Munkus and said, "ah think His Nibs tis back!"
onto the stage stalked a mountain of WHITE, Bustopher was dressed in a Riverboat Gambler outfit entirely in white. white spats, white shoes, white pants,
the silk shirt, swallow tail frock coat, embrodierd vest (in shades of white), tie, hat white, white, WHITE!
"I look like that fellow on that Telly Show from the Colonies...Boss Pig!"
BJ declared exasperatedly.
Stubinz tilted his sombrero so that it shaded his eyes.

ON THE TRAIN....
Bomba laughed, "ahhh he sounds cute! Colision huh? I bet he's a real fender bender!" then the scarlet queen steped inside the tiny compartment looking about."suit huh? more like the wrapper! and definetly not up to Skimbles standards," she said running a delicate claw over the edge of the window.
when she turned back to Whitemane "so shall we sit tight for a bit or start to mingle?"

[Graymane]

AT THE GOLF COURSE......
Munkus did not laugh, infact he was straightfaced as they came. "You actually look better then I was thinking you would, like a High Roller type of guy I think..... Or a gourmet type, but then you know what I mean there." Munkus said. He gave a salute to his chief, "Ya got par by the way." He stepped aside and let President Chrome take another shot, the last hole {three holes course ? Really ??} Then Munkus went and took his shot, a aweful slice that hit frist the camera, then the camera man, then barely missed the timebomb the prop guys were setting up for the Train Scene mentioned in scene three {or was it mentioned ? Munkus forgot!} And then hit the gas pedal for the train set itself.

ON THE TRAIN.....
Whitemane grabbed the doorframe with two fingers and all her claws on her feet and hands as the train started off at a rather oddly fast pace. "Whoa! If we're gonna mingle, I'm going to take a peek upstairs. get a lay of the land so to speak" That and also get my actual script. She thought. "Mingle if you want to, but don't get too flirty, remember, Silverenblack is your boy on this trip.... why I got stuck with the gourmet chief fan I'll never know" Then again the patchwork black and white queen was rather facinated {or was that scared scatless ?} of how much BJ could eat and still maintain a walking lifestyle.

[dodd4]

ON THE TRAIN...
the scarlet queen nodded "I'll try to remeber," Bomba said with a wink, "at least it wasn't Old Stubby for an oldster missing toes he has fast paws! you go ahead I'll catch up!"

after Whitemane left a  figure clad in a trenchcoat and feature hiding Panama slouch hat crept along the coridor and peered in the comaprtment where he saw the buxom scarlet queen primping and adjusting her Whatta Kitty outfit in front of a small mirror. from a pocket he removed a padlock that he snapped shut through the handels of the compartments door.  he took from under the coat a pair of small tanks with a hose attached to them. quickly he affixed the hose to the compartments vent and opened the valve and then he quietly left.

with a final fluff to her mane Bomba turned and pulled on the compartmnets door
which only ratteled. with a pretty frown she gave it another shake. then she went to brace herself to use her "strength" only to fall off of her high heels into the birth when the train car hit a bump. as she lay there artfuly sprawled her clear green gold eyes blinked, it was getting hard to concentrate...."hey!" she meawed muzzily as she sniffed the air,  "no fair vaporized Catnip! still 's...very...n..i..ce..." she said as she passed out.


AT THE GOLF COURSE.....
Bustopher gave a ponderous wiggle as he lined up his last shot and very carefuly missed, one dosn't beat the President after all!
then BJ checked his pocketwatch,
"well Gentlemen it has been quite grand but we do have a train to catch!"
Stubby leaned over to Munkus and softly said, "he just saw in the script that he gets ta hang about with that pretty cailín Whitemane!"

[Graymane]

At the Jiffy Links
Munkus leaned over to Stubs "That might explain why she looked green around the gills last time I saw her" He said with a smirk.

The President smiled, "Good game gentletoms. I'm sure we shall see each other soon, I'm going to see my banker about a loan." Munkus wondered for a b rief minute what exactly Chrome was talking about until he spotted his cousin in the wing.

Still leaning against Stubs, who was surprisingly strong for his age. Munkus said softly, "That's gotta be his banker. You did see he looked shinier then normal recently right ?" He meant the fact that his cousin Crimson Petals was Chromechasers mate. What that really pretty Queen saw in the wired tom nobody knew. But something said TRUE LOVE for them both. to BJ however he said "Shall we catch our ride then ? Should be pulling up right about...... now"

As he spoke the whistle went off. and the anouncer rang out "ALL ABOARD FOR THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBER COSTUME PARTY!! PLEASE HAVE YOUR TICKETS READY!! ANYONE WITH OUT A TICKET CANNOT BOARD THE TRAIN!" Sadly the bullhorn was directly in Munkus' face, with every word his mane was soon swept back as if blown in the wind

Once on board the three toms were lead to a berth, the biggest one on the rig, two cars down from the berth Whitemane and Bomba were sharing.

Meanwhile; towards the back of the train, Whitemane took stock of what she found, a few other party goers, this was a real Wild West event for sure, she was the only one that apparently stood out aside from the trench coat she was handed, once she put it on she looked like a renegade outlaw, which actualy fit her nicely. As she was headed back to the berth she was sharing with Bomba she passed two men walking in the other direction, dressed similar to herself. When she got to the door she found it sealed. The lock on it was old looking but also recently placed there. Then she smelled it. Ah crap. Without a word she withdrew a sword from her hip and struck at the lock, opening it. Sliding the door open she went in and opened a window to let the catnip smoke out. "That's the last time I leave you alone. Bomba ? Come on wake up!" Whitemane shook her friend by the shoulders before snapping her claws in Bomba's face.

[dodd4]

the scarlet queen giggled sleepily as Whitemane shook her, and when Bombas green gold eyes half opened they had a distinctive sparkle to them. it was a good thing that it was Whitemane that had found her as Bomba was definitely Nip-Faced!
the buxom queen sat up unsteadily, "'s not fair you know? drinkin nip or chewin it I can hold my own! but vaporized? PPPPPBBBT straight to my head! your very pretty you know? is that music I hear lets go dancing!" she said as she got to her paws swaying on her high heels and giving the ruffles and flounces that she had added to her Whata Kitty outfit so that it would pass for a dance hall girl's costume a shimmy.

MEANWHILE TWO CARS DOWN....
when the toms entered their berth Bustopher looked about and nodded his head "it will do." he said simply.
" 'it will do'? it's smashin it tis!" Stubinz declared. 
then he rubbed his paws together and winked at Kid Munkus "now ifin that ruafholtach cailín
tis to hot fer ya ta handle ah'll gladly take her offin yer paws!"

[Graymane]

"Lucky for you I'm immune to the stuff. Uncle made me drink it daily as a kitten as part of my training." Whitemane for once was thjsnkful for her really out there uncles antics. Vaporised catnip with every breakfast meal, then go through the day in a complete zonked out daze. It was not until she was sword training at six years of age did it make any sense whatsoever to her. When she finally figured that it was to help her learn to build up a tolorance for it. She got better at pretty much everything her crazy Unc threw at her.

Then she said once Bomba was done fixing her outfit, "Come on, lets go find our.... friends." Why I got stuck with you I'll never know. Oh well, can only take thje bad with the good I guess. Sometimes Bomba's constant preening and strutting got on the patchwork tabby's nerves. But she never complained. Mostly because sometimes the results of the strutting were rathere benifical to them both on many occasions

++

Munkus nodded, "yes, quite so, large enough for the three of us to fit comfortably" He said, which was saying a lot. BJ needed a big bed. Which fit Munkus nicely. The room they got was practically a TARDIS type of thing, bigger on the inside then out. Heck what they were looking at was the FOYAR of the bedroom. the bathroom as a whole housed two bedrooms, a sitting room, a half bathroom with a sink, a full bathroom with a soak tub, and a shower stall with a sink. It actually reminded Munkus of that one RV he wanted to buy at that last RV show.

After dropping off his baggage he turned to Stuz, "Relax this is a double date, say anything of badges and I'll throttle you. Bj, errr, Commissionor. While Stubz and I check towards the front of the train for the Mayor, {and hope to find his butler} The ladies are back thataway, try not to flatten them when the train gets up to speed 'K Commissionor ?" Munkus jerked a thumb in the direction of where Bomba and Whitemane were staying. One of the reasons Munkus eas going towards the front of the train was to get the two queens better rooms

As they started off, Munkus stopped and turned around "Oh, and if you manage to smell any catnip. Make sure a window is open to get some fresh air" The last time BJ and Munk got loaded, they got loaded! But this was a kid show they couldn't talk about that story, though Munkus really wanted to revisit that memory.

[dodd4]

even in her happy daze it only took Bomba a few steps to match her swaying to that of the trains
and not stumble despite the high heels.  the pair got admiring looks as they passed, looks that Bomba encouraged with the occasional wink and shimmy. then the door at the end of the car was filled by a mountain of white.
"oooooh there's your Tom!" she giggled to Whitemane, then Bomba stepped up to the massive tom and gave him a...friendly rub and a sultry look, "lucky girl I wouldnt mind doing some moutain climbing myself!" she purred. Bustopher gave Whitemane a comical panicked look asking silently for help.
"um yes, well it's very nice to meet you," he stammered obviously unsure just how respond to the
overly affectionate lovely queen.

MEANWHILE.......
the battered old tom limped along beside Munkus taking careful note of both those they met and the layout of the cars. "thats two dinning and club cars so far Lad," he said with a grin, "an na a hide nor hair of His Dishonor! ya donn think he might be back there with His Nibs an the Birds do ya?"

[Graymane]

Whitemane snickered, removing a soft mallet from within her trnchcoat she raised it up, and in doing so smacked a henchcat dead in the nose, sending him to the floor. Turning to look as she felt contact she spotted the outcold hench and two more coming from the forard part of the train. "Take a train, she told me! Why not take a SHIP ?!" She grumbled, to BJ and Bomba she yowled out, "Run!" With that she turned tail and took off towards the next car backwards.

Meanwhile, With Munku and Stubz, {Atturenys at In-Laws}.....
Towards the front of the train Munkus stepped into the dining car, "Quite expansive." He said, it was true, the dining car was a six star dining establishment. "Grab a menu will you." He spotted a stage and some henches. Uh oh. As soon as he had a menu he held it up and leaded over to Stubz "We got a problem, we're gonna have to dance our way out of here." He said

Chromechaser's mate, CP, came on scene then and stood not far away. She saw Munkus, her cousin, and scampered over. Clearly unsure olf what to do next, her mate just up and shoved her into a assassini outfit and tossed her aboard. "OK, Stripes, out with it. Now what ?" She asked him in a hushed tone. She gave a nod of greeting to Stubz.

"We dance our way out." Munkus replied softly.

"What do we use for music ?" CP asked.

"Turn on the radio" Munkus replied

"Are you kiddin' this is western times!" CP replied clearly perplexed.

"This is a western radio." Munkus r eplied. A smirk on his face as he moved towards the radio controls.

[dodd4]

the shapely red queen hopped up into the startled massive toms arms who caught her and gamely ran after Whitemane. Bomba  cuddled in and  purred happily while Bustopher used his mass to brush aside lesser cats who happened to be in his way.

MEANWHILE......
Stubby glanced about and grabbed a pretty young thing at random and followed Munkus's example
making for the exit in a lively two step. hr grinned at her and said, "you know sometimes tha Lad does
come up with a good idea!" he laughed,

[Graymane]

As they danced their way out Munkus had a tap on his shoulder as a hench, a big guy, possibly as big as Manny, asked "Ya mind if I cut in ?" Munkus snickered and replied simply with "Sure why not ?" And then started dancing with the hench. The hench had a completely confused and partly shocked look on his face as the two danced.

Of course Munkus never saw the guys face yet until he spoke the next funbit, "Oh you're a wonderful dancer....." Then he saw who he was dancing with "Neeeyyaaahhh!!" Presenting a fast poking to the stomach regoin on the hench Munkus continued dancing with CP until they were well beyond the dining car.

Munkus then noted clearly how many henches were in there. Most of them stuffing their faces. He also noted that there was an upper level which he could use to get himself and Stubz back to COmmissionor Gut. Thinking of whom....

Two cars back....
Whitemane took off, using the floor, walls and ceiling to gain any kind of traction to keep ahead of BJ, who was barreling behind her, she was praying he had working brakes. But then big cats did not stop as fast as small ones that well did they ? She ran straight towards the baggage car and hit the door. Once it was open she clambered up and pulled herself into t he ceiling above the door to avoid getting flattened by BJ behind her with Bomba "In here!" She said.

[dodd4]

Stubinz gave his dance partner a wink and then ducked out following Munkus and CP.
when he glanced into the dinning car he frowned when he saw all of the Henches, "what happened to all a tha Coppers that ah had sent down here, " he muttered.  glancing about he spotted the same upper leval Munkus had and hobbled over to the stair that led to it.

MEANWHILE.....
Bustopher called up to Whitemane "catch!" and Bomba gave a undignified squeak when Bustopher tossed her up to whitemane through the opening in the ceiling, "ahem, I will find another way up Ladies!"
he said with a bow.
the scarlet queen gave a wave to Bustopher saying "Bye."  then she blinked and shook her head
and gave Whitemane a puzzeled look, "oohhh my head hurts, ummm what are we doing up here?"
she asked.

[Graymane]

Munkus ambled up next to Stubz, with a good view of the lower part of the forward dining car, Munk got an even better headcount. He passed over a mask, fake beard, and hat to CP, "Put this on, they wont recognise you." As she did so Munkus asked to Stubs "See Amona or Detective Slush anywhere, they were to meet us up here." by detective slush he meant Redmane, for all they knew she found the catnip again., he held a card saying "MEET ME AT THE X IN THE FIRST DINING CAR SECOND LEVEL." The threesome were standing on it. Though to Munku it looked and felt more like a bullseye.

++

Whitemane put a slender finger to her lips, "shhh, listen!" She said. She spotted a vent leading to the room below and quietly scooted over to. Even though it was all part of the show. Things like this held in the viewers.

Inside the berth was three cats, two big ones and a small one. "Ok, who'se gonna tell the bleedin' boss we screwed up again ?" Said one

"Not me." Said a second, "You're tellin' him Slick"

"Heck no, last time I told him I was cleaning out the spitkids for two weeks on his ship remember ?" Slick, the first to speak, said.

"I got it" the second, slightly smarter of the threesome said. "Shorty, you tell the boss"

"Tell him what ?" Shorty asked clearly confused.

"You know" Slick replied, "Tell him that we uh...... botched the job"

Shorty swallowed hard, "He's not gonna like that"

[dodd4]

Stubinz moved to cover the stairs holding his pistol already cocked under his serape`.
"do ya think that ya being obvious enough Lad!" he said to Munkus with a grin.

MEANWHILE.....
the scarlet queen blinked her clear green gold eyes again, then she leaned forward to listen through the vent, incidentally posing just so to give a good shot of her impressive curves.
she glanced up at Whitemane curiously.
bellow Bustopher stuck his head in the door "oh excuse me, I was looking for the Loo," he said and
slammed the door shut before the startled Henches could react. the three toms looked at one another for a beat and then scrambled for the door.

[Graymane]

"What you think the beard is overdoing it ?" Munkus asked as a conductor came through

"Tickets please" The conductor, {Quaxo} said, he looked spiffy in the suit.

Munk handed over three tickets to the policemans ball and then asked. "How'd they get you in on this Qax ?"

"Blame the writer" Quaxo replied making a stamp motion on the three tickets and handing them back before walking off.

In a low voice Munkus said to Stubby and CP "To be honest I'd rather not place any blame on the writers, she might have Misto drink too much again and get us all in trouble." Munkus watched him leave. "Lucky doot, gets one line, two words, that's it. Lets get out scot free." He shook his head. This was gonna be a long ride indeed.

++

The three toms gave each other weird looks as they dove for the door, each one clamoring madly until Slick said "Spread out!" The other two stood to the sides and he yanked open the door directly into his own nose as Atert came in.

The other two toms stared and then stood at attention while Slick and slim pointed at Shorty saying. "He's got something to tell you boss!!"

"It better be good news" Atert replied in a low growl, she was supposed to be doing the sound board. But somehow the writers got her a part as the bad guy, or girl. Whichever worked, and besides, she got Manny, so it was not really much of a loss.

"Well" Shorty said "We did exactly as you said." Atert smiled "We hooked up evaproated catnip to Watta Kitty's berth vent system."

The dopey smile went from being silly looking to outright confusion "YOU WHAT ?!" Atert asked. "I did not say vent system I said humidifier system!"

"Well that's good" Slick said "Because that other queen woke her up." None of those down below Whitemane and Bomba thought to look up. Atert just growled, this was not going to go well for these three.
