ENCORE - WHAT'S UP?
Just as the previous scene finished, Calamity and Furrball suddenly ran in front it, jumped, and pulled down a pitch-black scenery that covered the entertainment centre. Both carnivores then ran into the scenery, just enough to be out of visual range. Some tinkering was heard, and moments later, everything hushed again. Suddenly, a spotlight was activated, revealing Mary Melody, now in white pants, white blouse, white roller blades, and a headset microphone, standing with her head down. On her right was The J.A.M., in his traditional black t-shirt, but still with his roller blades as well, and he was holding a keyboard guitar. More spotlights lit up on other toons who were also managing instruments, and at that exact moment, the jaguar fingered a tune while Mary looked up and began,
"'Hey—yey—yeaaaa!" The audience cheered when they recognised the song.
"Hey—yey—yea'!
I said, 'Hey!
What's going on!'" She was singing it louder and faster than before, and with no hint of sadness this time.
The DANCE REMIX.
Then the music REALLY started pounding,
"And I said, 'Hey—yey—yeaaaa!
Hey—yey—yea'!
I said, 'Hey!
What's going on!'" Drums, guitar, and bass joined in as well, as Mary began skating in front of the band. She clapped her hands above her to the beat, bringing the audience to do so as well. She did a quick spin, stopped, and repeated,
"And I said, 'Hey—yey—yeaaaa!
Hey—yey—yea'!
I said, 'Hey!
What's going on!'" She asked with playful anger.
"Fourteen years and my life was still." Here, Team Aleph skated out single file: Junior, Alexi, Miriam, Tex, Friz, and Shotsy, eliciting cheers.
"I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope,
For a destination." They stopped so Mary could shake their paws in thanks:
Charles Adler
Tress MacNeille
Candi Milo
John Kassir
Frank Welker
Sherry Lynn
"I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this 'brotherhood of toons'—" Blowing a kiss with a flourish, she gestured to the audience.
"For whatever that means!" Team Aleph rolled to the back as she put her hands to her head in the "sleep" position,
"And so I cry sometimes when I lie in my bed," she mock-cried.
"Just to get it all out: what's in my head, and I—" Sudden stop.
"Am feeling—a little peculiar." Mary then "marched" from right to left, followed by Team Beth: Morty, Bekki, June, and Hunni, eliciting more cheers.

"And so I wake in the morning and I step outside." She "inhaled", with the rest mimicking,
"And I take a deep breath and I get real high, and I—!
Scream from the top of my lungs:" Both hands to the mouth:
"'What's going on!'" Shaking hands/paws with them, she chorused,
"And I said, 'Hey—yey—yeaaaa!
Hey—yey—yea'!
I said, 'Hey!
What's going on!'" She skated next to her boyfriend,
"And I said, 'Hey—yey—yeaaaa!
Hey—yey—yea'!
I said, 'Hey!
What's going on!'"
She ad libbed, "Everybody sing along!"
"What's going on!"
"Come on, I can't hear you!"
"What's going on!"
She looked up, and raised her hands,
"And I try." Team Beth joined Team Aleph in the back.
"Oh, my God—do I try!" She shook her head.
"I try all the time—!" She pointed to Acme Looniversity in the distance,
"In this institution!" Team Gimmel joined in: Anni, Mel, Buck, and Chuck, and more cheers rang out.

"And I pray," she stopped and held her hands in the respective position.
"Oh, my God—do I pray!" as did Team Gimmel. Mary screamed with clenched fists,
"I pray every single day—!
For a revolution!" Shaking their paws, she calmed down,
"And so I cry sometimes when I lie in my bed
Just to get it all out: what's in my head, and I—
Am feeling—a little peculiar." The Fourteen then skated right behind her, in a follow-the-leader style.
"And so I wake in the morning and I step outside,
And I take a deep breath and I get real high, and I—
Scream from the top of my lungs:" Everyone halted and screamed,
"'What's going on!'"
"And I said, 'Hey—yey—yeaaaa!
Hey—yey—yea'!
I said, 'Hey!
What's going on!'" She then put the panther's left paw on her shoulder and began towing him. Junior grabbed his tail while the rest held each others' shoulders, and the towline zigzagged through the "stage".
"And I said, 'Hey—yey—yeaaaa!
Hey—yey—yea'!
I said, 'Hey!
What's going on!'"
"And I said, 'Hey—yey—yeaaaa!
Hey—yey—yea'!
I said, 'Hey!
What's going on!'" Suddenly the couple stopped, spread their legs wide, and allowed The Fourteen to "tunnel" under them, with their ears down, of course.
"And I said, 'Hey—yey—yeaaaa!
Hey—yey—yea'!
I said, 'Hey!
What's going on!'" The line broke up, and Mary, feeling higher than ever, skated to the centre, and shouted,
"You, reading your monitor or print-out, sing along!"
"What's going on!"
"You read me! Sing with me!"
"What's going on!"
The music continued, but Mary stopped to catch her breath for a moment. Then she looked to the audience, "You really want to know what's going on!" The audience hollered, and she skated to several places of the "stage". The spotlights helped her as she singled out her friends, with the audience cheering for each one:
"On drums, Little Beeper!"
Little Beeper as himself.
"On guitar, Lightning Rodriguez!"
Luke Ruegger.
"On backup keyboards, Sweetie Bird and Sneezer Mouse!"
Candi Milo
Kath Soucie
"On the sound console, Calamity Coyote!"
Calamity Coyote as Himself.
"On backup guitar, Furrball Cat!"
Frank Welker.
She then skated to the centre, and hugged her boyfriend from behind,
"And this hunk of fur on keyboard guitar, it's The J.A.M.!"
The J.A.M. as himself.
The panther suddenly gestured to her and roared, "And of course, the ULTIMATE in African beauty! Ladies and gentlemen, on lead vocals, MARY MELODY!" Here the audience cheered louder than ever. Mary was crying again, despite her efforts not to.
Cree Summer Franks.
Quickly, she composed herself, and shouted, "Now YOU sing along!" Everyone on stage hushed, and the audience sang,
"And I said, 'Hey—yey—yeaaaa!
Hey—yey—yea'!
I said, 'Hey!
What's going on!'"
"Oh, come on, you can do better than that!" She leaned forward and cupped an ear,
"And I said, 'Hey—yey—yeaaaa!
Hey—yey—yea'!
I said, 'Hey!
What's going on!'"
"Not bad! Just two more lines!" She hushed and mouthed to cue them,
"What's going on!" And again,
"What's going on!"
"EVERYBODY!" Everyone skated to the music.
"And I said, 'Hey—yey—yeaaaa!
Hey—yey—yea'!
I said, 'Hey!
What's going on!'"
"And I said, 'Hey—yey—yeaaaa!
Hey—yey—yea'!
I said, 'Hey!
What's going on!'" She continued as the other toons sang simultaneously,
"And I said, 'Hey—yey—yeaaaa!"
"And so I wake in the morning and I step outside."
"Hey—yey—yea'!"
"And I take a deep breath and I get real high."
"I said, 'Hey!" And everyone yelled,
"What's going on!'"
"And I said, 'Hey—yey—yeaaaa!"
"And so I wake in the morning and I step outside."
"Hey—yey—yea'!"
"And I take a deep breath and I get real high."
"I said, 'Hey!" Everyone,
"What's going on!'"
"Okay, all the ladies!"
"And I said, 'Hey—yey—yeaaaa!
Hey—yey—yea'!
I said, 'Hey!
What's going on!'"
"Now all the MALES out there!"
"And I said, 'Hey—yey—yeaaaa!
Hey—yey—yea'!
I said, 'Hey!
What's going on!'"
"Everyone in America!"
"And I said, 'Hey—yey—yeaaaa!
Hey—yey—yea'!
I said, 'Hey!
What's going on!'"
"Everyone everywhere else!"
"And I said, 'Hey—yey—yeaaaa!
Hey—yey—yea'!
I said, 'Hey!
What's going on!'"
Suddenly she pointed at the camera and yelled, "YOU! THE ONE WHO SCOFFED AT THE AUTHOR THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE FANFIC! YOU SING ALL BY YOURSELF!""
"And I said, 'Hey—yey—yeaaaa!
Hey—yey—yea'!
I said, 'Hey!
What's going on!'"
Finally, she took it home,
"And I said, 'Hey—yey—yeaaaa!
Hey—yey—yea'!
I said, 'Hey!
What's going on!'
And I said, 'Hey—yey—yeaaaa!
Hey—yey—yea'!
I said, 'Hey!
What's going on…!'"
The music and party continued, but the scene and sound faded out.
