"Now, let's leave Toulouse and Vincent to their paintings," Duchess suggested. "Now dear, you go to the piano and run along. Both of you, go ahead."
"Yes, Mama." Marie and Berlioz replied.
"Ooh, I love, love, love playing the piano with my friend Bill!" Eloise smiled.
Maisy was soon going over to a mouse hole.
"It's time to practice your scales and your arpeggios." Duchess told Berlioz.
Maisy sniffed as she came to the mouse hole and smirked. "Heheh, gotcha."
"Oh, please don't eat me!" The mouse begged.
"Maisy!" Duchess called.
Maisy looked over to her sister.
"Please, if you see a mouse, leave him alone, that's a friend of ours." Duchess replied.
"Oops, sorry." Maisy said before placing the mouse back on the ground.
The mouse gasped and backed away.
"Sorry... I didn't know you were friends with my sister, niece, and nephews." Maisy told the mouse.
"Y-You're Duchess's sister?" The mouse asked.
"Yes, I am," Maisy replied. "We were separated a long time ago."
"Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that." The mouse frowned.
"What's your name?" Maisy then smiled.
"They call me 'Roquefort'." the mouse replied, smiling back.
"It's nice to meet you." Maisy smiled.
"Likewise." Roquefort smiled back.
"My name is Maisy." Maisy said.
"Nice to meet you, Maisy, let me know when you all have lunch, I'd like to stop by." Roquefort replied.
"Sure thing." Maisy smiled down to the mouse.
The mouse soon rushed back in. Maisy came back over to her family with a smile.
"It's time to practice your scales and your arpeggios." Duchess told Berlioz.
"Mind if I join?" Snow White asked.
"You may if you wish." Duchess allowed.
"Yay!" Snow White smiled. She then hopped up beside Berlioz.
Jenny smiled as she held Oliver in her lap as he decided to watch this time unlike in her piano lessons. Berlioz then started to crack his fingers while Marie waited for him to start playing so she could sing her song.
"Any time now." Snow White said patiently.
"We're ready, Maestro." Marie added in, but she was slowly losing her patience.
Berlioz then slammed the keys which hit Marie's tail.
"Ow!" Marie yelped. "Mama, he did it again!"
Berlioz then hit the keys. "Tattletale."
'Please start.' Snow White thought to herself.
"Now, Berlioz," Duchess gently told her black-furred son. "Now, please, darling, settle down, and play me your pretty little song."
"Yes, Mama." Berlioz then gave in and played the piano keys with his front paws.
'About time.' Snow White thought to herself.
"Doe me so doe doe so me doe, Every truly cultured music student knows, You must learn your scales and your arpeggios, And the music ringing from your chest and not your nose, While you sing your scales and your arpeggios~" Marie began to sing.
Snow White smiled as she was going to sing next.
"If you're faithful to your daily practicing, You will find your progress is encouraging, Doe me so me doe me so me fa la so it goes, When you sing your scales and your arpeggios~" Berlioz sang before Snow White.
"Doe me so doe-" Snow White began until Berlioz played out of rhythm with Toulouse who came onto the keyboard with paint covered paws. "Really?" she then asked, unimpressed.
Oliver went to make the brothers stop for ruining Snow White's big moment.
"Let's try that again." Snow White sighed.
"Don't do that ever again." Oliver told Toulouse and Berlioz.
"Sorry, I went overboard." Berlioz said.
Oliver rolled his eyes. Berlioz then played the tune again, but allowed Snow White to have a part in the song.
"Doe me so doe doe so me doe, me so doe doe so me doe, Though at first it seems as though it doesn't show, Like a tree, ability will root and grow~" Snow White began to sing.
Oliver smiled as he found her singing beautiful.
"If you're smart you'll learn by heart, What every artist knows~" Duchess, Berlioz, and Marie sang together.
"You must sing your scales~" Duchess and Marie sang together.
"And your arpe-e-e-gios!~" Snow White concluded.
"Beautiful." Oliver smiled.
Snow White blushed to him with a smile back.
"Ah, good evening, my little ones." Edgar came in with a meal for the cats.
"Good evening, sir." Akito said.
The others looked to Edgar. Snow White had the funny feeling again. Scruffy and Dot sniffed Edgar and now understood why Snow White had a bad feeling about him.
"Hello, children." Edgar greeted.
"Hello, Mr. Edgar." Akito replied with suspicion in his voice.
"You okay?" Edgar asked.
"Fine and dandy." Akito faked a smile.
Edgar gave the kids a look, but then came to the cats to give them their cream.
"The cream does look good." Snow White said in cat language.
"I have enough for all of you to share," Edgar smiled to all of the cats, including Maisy, Snow White, and Oliver. "Your favorite dish, prepared a very special way. It's creme de la creme a la Edgar. Sleep well. I-I mean, eat, eat well, of course."
Scruffy and Dot began to look around Edgar to see if he had any food for them.
"Are you two hungry too?" Edgar smiled to the two puppies.
Scruffy and Dot began to beg as was their dog nature.
"Well, I suppose you could have these yummy dog biscuits." Edgar took out a few bone-shaped treats.
Weenie panted and rushed over so he could also have one. Scruffy began to sniff the dog biscuits. Edgar then left the room as the cats lapped up their cream, enjoying it very much. Scruffy, Dot, and Weenie soon ate the dog biscuits.
"I sense some trouble afoot..." Eloise commented.
"Me too." Ditto said as he slithered to the top of her blonde head.
Roquefort came back once he smelled their cream which made him hungry.
"Looks like a certain mouse is hungry." Maisy smiled.
"Please don't eat him." Duchess said.
"He's your friend, I wouldn't dream of it." Maisy promised her sister.
"You want some of the cream?" Maisy asked the mouse.
"It's creme de la creme a la Edgar." Marie added with a smile.
Roquefort took out a cracker and decided to join them for their cream.
"It's pretty good." Snow White smiled.
"Mm, this is yummy!" Marie beamed as Roquefort dunked his cracker in the cream and found himself enjoying it just as much as the others.
"These biscuits are delicious." Dot smiled.
"Yeah... Very good..." Scruffy smiled before yawning slightly.
"It's no roast beef bone, but it sure is delectable." Weenie agreed.
The pets started to get sleepy. When the pets yawned, it made the kids yawn back.
"Knock it off, guys!" Felicity called then. "Yawning is catching."
"Sorry, but we're getting sleepy." Scruffy yawned.
"Maybe we should rest our eyes for a little while..." Snow White yawned and stretched beside Marie.
"A little sleep does sound good." Oliver yawned.
"Come on, Weenie, we don't need naps, right?" Eloise smiled, but then did a double take once she saw her puppy was fast asleep, she then reached into her bag and took out her Do Not Disturb sign which she usually slept with back at home and decided to let him nap. "All right, stay out of trouble." she then smiled peacefully like a mother.
"Aw, they look so cute." Estelle whispered.
"We better let them get some rest." Vincent suggested as he put his paintbrush away.
"Agreed." Jenny whispered.
The kids then left the room while the pets fell asleep. Skipperdee even fell asleep due to having a small bit of the creme with his usual raisins.
"Should we take a nap?" Felicity asked.
"Watching these guys sleep is making me a little fatigue..." Estelle agreed.
"Same here." Akito yawned.
Eloise couldn't help but yawn along, though she was often restless. The kids then decided to sleep with the animals as it suddenly became a tiring evening for them all. The adults were about to come get the kids, but then saw they were asleep.
"I don't believe I've seen Eloise fall asleep so fast." Nanny giggled.
"Same with us with the twins." Atticus said.
The Pokemon were also asleep with the pets.
Madame Bonfamile smiled, she decided to put everyone in the proper rooms to get some sleep. And where each room was perfect.
"Thank you, Adelaide." Nanny smiled.
"It's no problem at all, I always enjoy good company." Madame Bonfamile smiled back.
