*backstage before the show. Esmeralda is in her dressing room reading when Angel walks in*

Angel: hey Esmeralda, no hard feelings about me tying you that chair last week right?

Esmeralda: not at all Angel. At least i got together with Coricopat in the end.

Angel: thats good. Well the show starts in twenty minutes and they want us in makeup. What are you reading?

Esmeralda: nothing, just an old book i found. You go on ahead and I'll meet you in there.

Angel: Alright, don't be late. *Angel leaves. Esmeralda goes back to Angel's diary, she took eailer that day*

Esmeralda: So thats who she has a crush on...*evil laugh*

*theme music plays*

Angel: Hi everyone and welcome to another episode of Cats: The Talk Show!

Esmeralda: I'm Esmeralda and this is Angel. We are your hosts on this gravy boat!

* Audience cheers and claps*

Angel: we have a great show planned for you today. There are prizes to be won and lawsuits to avoid!

Esmeralda: So lets get this party started! Let our first contest begin!

Angel: Munkustrap, Rum Tum Tugger, Alonzo, Mistoffelees, and Tumblebrutus, come on down!

* Audience cheers as they appear*

Esmeralda: It is great to have you here with us.

Munkustrap: why are we here?

Angel: you are here cause you are the toughest and manliest of all the toms!

Rum Tum Tugger: sweet! I'm manly!

Esmeralda: yes you are and today we want to put that manliest to the test.

Alonzo: we aren't going doing anything stupid, well Tumblebrutus might.

Tumblebrutus: Hey!

Mistoffelees: Both of you shut up and listen. I want to get this over with and get back to Cassandra.

Angel: The contest is simple. We are going to play a song and whoever can stand it the longest wins.

Munkustrap: that's it? Just a song? I can do that.

Esmeralda: Don't get too confident just yet! This song can bring Macavity to his knees. Shall we begin?

Angel: yes but first lets put in our earplugs.

*Angel, Esmeralda, and the audience put in earplugs*

Tumblebrutus: *looks nearvous* uh..guys..i have a bad feeling about this.

Alonzo: It can't be that bad. Its just a song.

Mistoffelees: These girls are nothing to joke about. Whatever they have planned might kill us.

*Angel and Esmerable have evil smiles*

Angel: Start the music!

You know you love me, I know you care
Just shout whenever, and I'll be there
You are my love, you are my heart
And we will never, ever, ever be apart

Are we an item? Girl, quit playin'
"We're just friends," what are you sayin'?
Said "there's another," and looked right in my eyes
My first love broke my heart for the first time

And I was like baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine

Baby, baby, baby, oh

Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine

For you, I would have done whatever
And I just can't believe we're here together
And I wanna play it cool, but I'm losin' you
I'll buy you anything, I'll buy you any ring

And I'm in pieces, baby fix me
And just shake me 'til you wake me from this bad dream
I'm goin' down, down, down, down
And I just can't believe my first love won't be around

And I'm like baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine

Baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine

When I was 13, I had my first love
There was nobody that compared to my baby
And nobody came between us who could ever come above
She had me going crazy, oh I was starstruck
She woke me up daily, don't need no Starbucks

She made my heart pound
I skip a beat when I see her in the street
And at school on the playground
But I really wanna see her on a weekend
She know she got me dazin' 'cause she was so amazin'
And now my heart is breakin' but I just keep on sayin'

Baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine

Baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine

I'm all gone
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now I'm all gone
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now I'm all gone
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now I'm all gone, gone, gone, gone
I'm gone

Munkustrap: DEAR EVERLASTING CAT! MAKE IT STOP! *he curls up in ball on stage*

Alonzo: *jumps out a window*

Mistoffelees: *disappeared halfway through the song*

Tumblebrutus: *runs of stage, screaming and begging for it to stop*

Rum Tum Tugger: I like it! Play it again!

Angel: *takes out earplugs* We have a winner everyone!

Esmeralda: *takes out hers* Rum Tum Tugger, you are the toughest and manliest of all cats! Lets hear it audience!

* Audience cheers like wild*

Esmeralda: For winning you get a life supply of hair gel!

Rum Tum Tugger: AWESOME!

Angel: Now onto our next contest! Someone get Munkustrap off the stage and check on Alonzo.

*stagehands carry Munkustrap off stage*

Esmeralda: Don't folks, he will be ok. Our next contest is a simple obstacle. Before you are seven flaming bars and our contestants are going have to jump over them.

* Audience goes oooooo*

Esmeralda: But before we call them out, I have to get back at my friend here.

Angel: *looks confused* what did I do?

Esmeralda: *smiles and ties Angel to a chair* Now Electra and Pouncival come on out!

* Audience cheers while Angel's eyes get wide*

Esmeralda: *smiles with content* Thank you for coming today. Before we start what are your thoughts?

Pouncival: When can I go?

Esmeralda when the show is over. Electra, what are your thoughts?

Electra: Can't believe I agreed to this.

Esmeralda: Well you signed the agreement and there is no reversing it. Lets get started!

*Audience cheers*

Esmeralda: Pouncival, you are up first! Just try to clear the bars.

Pouncival: what if I catch on fire?

Esmeralda: We have emergency staff on stand by if anything happens. Now prepare yourself and go!

Pouncival: * takes a deep breath, steps back and runs forward. He does a perfect handstand followed by back flip. The audience holds its breath as he jumps. Unfortunately he only makes it over five of the bars before falling*

Esmeralda: oh that had to hurt ladies and gentlemen. Nice try, Pouncival. At least you aren't hurt.

Pouncival: *looks mad and annoyed* Thanks…

Esmeralda: Electra it is your turn. What is going through your mind?

Electra: Still can't believe I agreed to do this.

Esmeralda: Just beat Pouncival's jump and you will be just fine. Lets give her some encouragement!

*Audience cheers*

Electra: * takes a deep breath and steps back. The stage grew quiet. She gets a running start ,does three back flips and twists her body as she sails over the flames; she lands safety on the other side.*

*Audience cheers*

Esmeralda: Alright Electra! You won! How do you feel?

Electra: Just glad I lived, Esmeralda.

Esmeralda: Well your prize is a lifetime supply of Caviar! And Pouncival you get a prize too.

Pouncival: what?

Esmeralda: your secret admirer! *unties Angel*

Angel: *bear hugs Pouncival* I WUVS YOU! *she disappears backstage with him*

Esmeralda: they make such a cute couple. Electra, help me end the show.

Electra: That's our show everyone! I'm Electra!

Esmeralda: and I'm Esmeralda. We will see you next with another great episode.

Electra: We love you and good bye!
