Narrator: Back at the emporium, Luciel was busy telling everyone the
intricate details of what she and Speedy did last night. Needless to say...
Paint drying is more entertaining...
Luciel: (smiling) And after Speedy helped me pick out 23 new outfits for my brother, we went to the city's largest football stadium!
Polly: (looks very tired) Oh... you mean the only football stadium in the city?
Luciel: (momentarily confused) What?... Oh you're right!
Narrator: It was at that time that Francine had remembered something very important that she had to discuss with Bad~ err... I mean Good Bird in private.
Fran: (Excited) Oh that's right! (Waves at Good Bird) Good Bird! I need to see you in the back!
Speedy: (Pleading-ly) You need to see the rest of us cept Luciel too right!?
Fran: (Sticks her tongue out) Nope! Sorry, this is only for Good Bird's ears only!
Narrator: While everyone else began their journey into a comatose state with Luciel, Francine began to tell Good Bird about something that would change his life! ... Again!
Good Bird: (sighs a sigh of relief) Phew! Thanks Fran! I thought I was a goner!
Fran: (nods in agreement) I know how you feel. I almost slipped away twice!
(They stand around for a moment)
Good Bird: So are ya going to tell me what this was about? Or are you using me as an excuse to get away from the never ending story?
Fran: (shakes her head) No, that movie was boring anyway. Why I asked you hear was to ask you if you'd be interested in taking up a position at a new Pizza Cat near Lake Otama.
Good Bird: (puzzled) What!?
Fran: Well, business has been slow here lately. So unfortunately, unless you take this job, you'll be laid off!
Good Bird: (slightly angered) You've got to be kidding me! We've been busy enough here to pay for a week's worth of food for 3 divisions of Ninja Crows!
Fran: (slaps her head, and sticks her tongue out) Ok, you got me. The real reason I'm asking you is because of Carla. You're gonna be a daddy soon!
Narrator: At the sound of this news, Good Bird's heart stopped.
Good Bird: (very shocked) (in a weak voice) A... A... A daddy! (falls flat on the ground)
Fran: (worried look) I thought Carla said she already told him!... Or maybe she said "I'm gonna tell him..." (ponders)
======================================================================
Narrator: Meanwhile, back at Cousin Clara's new hideout...
Neko: Come on you bums! Get the lead out! That power pack was supposed to be interfaced with the main ENTF conduits and operational yesterday!
Lackey1: (whispers) What the heck is she talking about?
Lackey2: (whispers) She's just tryin to sound fancy with all that techno- babble! There aren't any ENT~ whatever's on this thing!
(A wrench nail's the lackey in the head.)
Neko: (angry) I may be trying to sound fancy, but my purpose is clear... GET THIS THING WORKING OR YOU'RE BOTH THROUGH!
Lackey 1 & 2: Yes ma'am!
Neko: (walking away) We should've already been ruling this city by now! Stupid production set-backs...
Narrator: Back at the palace, Cousin Clara was having a few set-backs of her own...
Cousin Clara: (yawns) How much longer is Fred going to keep going on!
Narrator: Let me explain what's going on here... Cousin Clara is currently sitting in on the Little Tokyo business associates meeting. Emperor Fred is currently discussing his 46 page report on why onions are not a color.
Emperor Fred: Fah~red! Fr~ed fr~ed. Labbolie boo Fah~~~red!
Council Man: (pleadingly) Emperor Fred, please could we... Move on to something else?
Emperor Fred: (opens up his fan and waves it around. Then shakes his head) Fred! (Everyone falls back.)
Big Al: This could take a while...
Cousin Clara: (lightly coughs and turns to Princess Vi) Excuse me cousin, but I must be going. I've got some shopping I want to do.
Princess Vi: (smiles and waves) Ok~! Have fun cousin!
Other Council Man: (whispers) Why does she get to leave?
Big Al: (sighs) Because she promised to get the Fred and the princess something nice.
Princess Vi: (momentarily confused) Now where were we... Oh yes! As daddy was saying...
Council Members: (collective sigh)
======================================================================
Narrator: Back in the giant robot cave...
Lacky1: (walks up to Neko) The weapon has been successfully installed boss.
Lacky2: (follows behind) It should be ready to fire at any time you wish.
Neko: (deviously smiles) Excellent... Begin launch prep~
Cousin Clara: (comes running in) (out of breath) HOLD IT!
Neko: (surprised and flustered) What!? What is it my lady!
Cousin Clara: (gasping for breath) My latte wasn't ready, so I was running a little behind... (angry) How dare you begin our reign of terror while I was gone!
Neko: (protesting) But my lady! You were late! And you said~
Cousin Clara: You try to get out of a meeting when that dingbat of an emperor is running it! Now... What've we got going on here?
Neko: The weapon is ready to be prepared to be launched.
Cousin Clara: Excellent! Launch this thing immediately! I wanna be the ruler of Little Tokyo by sundown!
Neko: (bows) Yes my lady. (turns towards the lackeys) You heard the mistress! Get going!
======================================================================
Narrator: Now we see Good Bird walking around Little Tokyo. His mind filled with troubling thoughts, and his heart tugging him in every possible direction, he decides that a good walk will help clear his mind... That and he was the only Pizza Cat that was still awake to make a delivery.
Good Bird: (lost in thought) Me!? A daddy!? This is so sudden...
(An image of Carla floats in front of him.)
Good Bird: Oh Carla my sweet... What should I do!?
Narrator: Just then, one of Good Bird's old co-horts Bad Max decides to congratulate our hero!
Bad Max: (surprised) Bad Bird? Hey Bad Bird is that you!?
Good Bird: (turns around looking puzzled) What?
Bad Max: (looks surprised and happy) Bad Bird! I knew that was you! (walks over and shakes Good Bird's hand) So how's it going boss! Word on the street says that your wife Carla has one in the oven! Congratulations!
Good Bird: (confused) Max? Max! (slightly angered) Max, buddy, don't forget. My name's Good Bird now.
Bad Max: (feels sheepish) Oh! Right! Old habit I guess.
Good Bird: (even more angered) How come everyone knows Carla's pregnant besides me!
Bad Max: (confused) Carla's pregnant!? I was talking about the pie she was baking you for dinner tonight! This calls for a celebration! (grab's Good Bird's shoulder and begins tugging Good Bird along) Come on! I'm gonna treat you to some good food!
Good Bird: (resisting) I~ I~ I~ I~ I really should be deliver~
Bad Max: Aww your job can wait. You only live once my friend! (rambles on)
Narrator: Later that night... At Luciel's brother's sushi joint also known as "Wally's" Good Bird and Bad Max begin discussing important matters other than who'll pick up the check.
Bad Max: (looks into his glass) I tell ya what Bird... you've really got yourself a life. You've got great friends, a great job, and a good lookin wife. Not to mention a little peep-er on the way. (sighs) I envy you...
Good Bird: So what else is new? You've always envied me for beating you on the villain's aptitude test!
Bad Max: Yeah, but this is different. You've got your whole life ahead of you... Me? Well... there aren't that many jobs left for an old villain. Most employers don't really like to see that on a resume.
Good Bird: That's baloney, I got a job at the Pizza Cat based on my skills!
Bad Max: (laughs) Yeah right! I remember Big Cheese's pay cuts as well as the next bird! Plus no one else would be nuts enough to be shot out of that big gun!
Good Bird: (grins) Well, that is true... I did have a crazy glint in my eyes back then...
Bad Max & Good Bird: (laugh heartily)
Bad Max: (looks back into his glass) GB... There is another reason I wanted to talk to ya here...
Good Bird: (concerned) What's wrong?
Bad Max: Well... Lately I've been hearing some rumors... Something big is gonna be going down here in Little Tokyo pretty soon. And I'm not talking about a parade or anything.
Good Bird: (serious look) You don't mean that Cheese's coming back do ya!?
Bad Max: (shakes his head) No... Someone evidently with more connections to technology... Not to mention manpower. This new guy goes by the name of "The High-C"... That's all I know...
Good Bird: (sips his water, then smiles) ... Thanks Max.
Luciel: (smiling) And after Speedy helped me pick out 23 new outfits for my brother, we went to the city's largest football stadium!
