Garbage Night: The Musical Novelization

This is basically a remaining/retelling of two episodes of the TV show; I endeavored to write this one in the style of a Broadway musical. This mostly adheres to the continuity of the second season, two notable major changes to the setup are that Holly still owns the pound(rather than Katrina), and in order to find homes for dogs and cats, Barkerville now has a computer program. (Rather than the strange psychic powers the Pound Puppies used before-although they still certainly do have "Puppy Power!") The setup is otherwise the same; also, as in my other fanfics, Violet, Barkerville, Scrounger, Flack, Tubbs, and Dabney Nabbit are part of the cast, the latter of whom now works for Katrina and is the(previously unseen) driver of the Dog Snatcher wagon. Like a few characters in the second season, Nabbit also now has a catch phrase: "I'll nab 'em, and I'll nab 'em good!" Some elements of the story have been altered, too(But I won't give them away); mention is also made of some cosmetic changes made to a couple of characters in the second season: Scrounger is now grey, as he was in this very episode, and Flack now wears fingerless gloves. Please enjoy!(More info on these continuity changes, as well as a picture of Tommy, can be found on my blog, the Keeper of the Fun blog!)

It's a lovely night in New York City. At the Haven House Children's Home, a little girl with curly blonde hair, wearing a red shirt, a light blue jacket, aqua blue pants, and red shoes, named Melissa looks out of the bedroom window at the star filled sky. Melissa points to an extra bright star twinkling in the sky. "Oh look, it's the dog star! Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight."

A little boy wearing a green shirt, brown pants, and dark brown shoes, named Max is sitting on the bed, reading a book. "What'cha wishing for, Melissa?"

A boy with short brown hair and freckles, wearing a red and white striped shirt, blue jeans, brown shoes, and white socks, named Harold, and a girl with long, golden blonde hair, wearing a dark pink shirt, a purple skirt, purple sneakers, and pink socks, named Ashley, sit at the end of the bed playing checkers. "To get adopted soon?" Harold inquires.

"Sure, what could be better than having someone to love you?" Ashley adds.

"Having someone to love! I wish I could have a puppy." Melissa replies hopefully.

Someone, Somewhere

Melissa: "Someone, somewhere, somebody to care,

Some puppy to share his love,

Somehow, some way, I'll find him some day,

By the light of the dog star above,

He doesn't have to be purebred, or have a pedigree,

All it takes is puppy love to know that he's for me,

There's something I know, by the dog star aglow,

And someday the whole world will see,

There's someone, somewhere, somebody to care,

A someone, somewhere for me."
