Coal: Well, its not like she would. We can’t understand what humans say, can we. Spot: Guys, ummm…. [he is ignored again] Meow Meow: We never learn anything new around here. Coal: That’s because there’s nothing new to learn. Nothing interesting ever happens. Spot: GUYS! MM, Si and C: WHAT! Spot: There’s a big shiny box with lights falling out of the sky at us right now. [all look up] Meow Meow: Coooalll. You jinxed us. Coal: Well, soorrry! Si and Sp: Get OUT OF THE WAY! MM and C Of what? [Silver does a facepalm] Spot: Of the big, shining, box with lights! Meow Meow: Ah. That box. [The scene erupts into white snow] SCENE III [We see a collapsed sleigh, with Reindeer bearing tangled reins lying all over. A clip of dramatic music plays, and we see a figure, only in shadow from the light behind him, wearing a santa hat Then he steps out of the shadow, and we see a boy of the age of 12. He is dressed as Father Christmas in the stereotypical, tight-fitting suit.] Meow Meow: It’s a human! Coal: [dryly] You don’t say. Son of Christmas: I’ve been having a little trouble… Silver: How can I understand him? MM, Sp, C We can too! SoC: You can understand me ‘cause I can speak all languages. Including feline! But not to say that feline is the best, because that wouldn’t be very nice. You know what I mean. Spot: Ummm…. not really SoC: That’s ok! [awkward silence] SoC: So, umm… I crashed here ‘cause my instincts told me that this is where the animals are that will help me. You know, to save Christmas. And maybe the world too. But uh, no pressure. Or anything. Meow Meow: Wait wait wait… What’s Christmas? SoC: You know the big thing that happens tomorrow? With all the lights and stuff? Meow Meow,Spot,Silver,Coal: Yeah? SoC: That’s Christmas. Meow Meow: But what’s it about? What’s it for? SoC: Well, you’ll find out soon enough. So are you ready to help me save Christmas? Spot: Ermm…. ACT II SCENE I [We see the sleigh flying in the night sky, stars going past] Meow Meow: So, um, what does Christmas need saving from? SoC: It’s a long story… Coal: We’ve got time. If you’re going to drag us along with you, we need to know why we’re coming. SoC: Alright. My dad, Father Christmas, had two children. Me, the Son of Christmas, and my sister, the Daughter of Christmas. But she never really had anyone to look up to after… after mother died. And so she never had another female to relate to her. So she grew sour. She began to hate Christmas. And all this time, she’s being getting more evil. Now she wants to take all the presents for herself. She’s used her powers to freeze Father Christmas, and she’s taken all the presents. We HAVE to stop her! Silver: But, uh, WHERE is all this happening? SoC: At the North Pole, of course! Spot: What’s the North Pole like? SCENE II [We see the scene switch to a a cold, wintery place. there is a large, palace, once great, but now drenched in heavy snow. A figure dressed in black with a pointy hat stands at its door.] Coal: It’s cold. SoC: It’s her. Meow Meow: What? SoC: She’s controlling the frost and the snow. Coal: [to herself] Why couldn’t we have come to a nice, damp alley? [The figure moves closer] Daughter of Christmas: So, you came back, did you? Soc: Well, yes, apparently. DoC: Always with your smart-aleck remarks. Let’s see how well you can talk when you’re FROZEN SOLID! [a snowball hurtles out of her staff and strikes Son of Christmas] DoC: Now, its time to get rid of you meddling pests. [She turns, and raises her staff, but the cats are all gone] Coal: [Over her back as they run away] How’s that, TWOLEGS! DoC: COME BACK HERE! [she chases them into the palace] Meow Meow: Guys, let’s split up. That way we can find some way to stop her stealing the presents quicker. Sp, Si, C: OK. SCENE III [Meow Meow is in an icy room. There is a lever on the floor. Standing by it is father Christmas, frozen into an icy replica.] Meow Meow: Oh, poor, poor Father Christmas… [Meow Meow takes a step forward. Then the scene is filled with blinding light, and we see Father Christmas’s body, in a sort of ghostly form.] Father Christmas: Do you know what Christmas is about? Meow Meow: It’s about gift giving, where the humans give each other shiny boxes. Father Christmas: No. Meow Meow: Then why do you give the presents? Father Christmas: I don’t. They only believe I do. Meow Meow: Then what do you do? Father Christmas: I am their light. When things get dark, they can look forward to Christmas. The presents come on their own. Meow Meow: Then what is Christmas about? Father Christmas: It’s about being together. Knowing that you’re not alone, that somebody out there loves you. Knowing that you DO have the strength to keep on going. That’s what Christmas is about. Meow Meow: Then it doesn’t have to be just for humans? Father Christmas: It never was. [The light fades, and Meow Meow is back in the room.] Meow Meow: Well, here goes… [He pushes the lever, and falls down onto a rickety metal bridge above a chasm. The Daughter of Christmas is running along it, and stops when she sees him. Then she draws her wand and smiles evilly.] SCENE IV DoC: Time to FINISH you. [Meow Meow gulps. The Daughter of Christmas shoots a snowball from her wand, but just before it hits Meow Meow, Coal jumps down and deflects it with a toy sword. She is also wearing a black belt and black, puss-in-boots style hat. She twirls the sword.] Coal: Nice toys ya got here. [She grins at Meow Meow.] Coal: Looks like I have to save your butt again! [We here a rumble] Coal: Oh gosh, I thought she was joking… [A giant toy train burst out of the wall, sending cement everywhere. Silver is sitting on the roof, looking exhilarated, while Spot is behind her, looking terrified.] Silver: Alons-y! [Meow Meow jumps for the train, just making it on. The Daughter of Christmas jumps too, but she misses, and disappears.] SCENE III [The train is flying with big red and gold canvas wings. Meow Meow looks back at his friends] Meow Meow: Well, that’s over and done with. [smiles] Spot: But she’ll never know the true meaning of Christmas… [Meow Meow’s face falls. Suddenly the train begins to dip, and we see the witch’s face appear. Silver reaches into the train through a hole in the roof and grabs several of what look like parachute bags with propellers on the back.] Silver: Jump! Spot: There’s only three… Meow Meow: I’ll stay. I have to make sure that Christmas is still saved. Coal: Its… its dangerous to go alone. Take this. [She holds out her sword] Meow Meow: Thank you. [Spot, Silver and Coal jump off the train, gliding downwards until they go out of sight. Meow Meow dives into the hole in the roof, and the witch follows. SCENE V [The Train is nearly facing straight down now. It is near the ground.] DoC: Only someone who knows what the ‘true meaning of Christmas’ is can control this train. And THEY think I obviously don’t. So we’ll crash and die. But it’ll be worth it to watch you BURN. Meow Meow: Your father loves you. DoC: How DARE you say that! He never cared about me! Only about his wonderful son. Meow Meow: I saw it in his eyes. Christmas isn’t about the presents. It never has been. It’s about knowing, that however far away, someone out there loves you. That you CAN keep going. Because, Daughter of Christmas, it’s always worth one last try. DoC: [crying] I’m sorry… I didn’t know… I thought… I was alone. Meow Meow: You’re not alone. You never were, and you never will be. DoC: You’re right. SCENE VI [suddenly everything unfreezes outside the train. Father Christmas magically appears next to his son and the three cats. They watch the train, as suddenly, it curves upward just enough for it to make a skiddy crash landing. A few seconds pass, then the Daughter of Christmas walks out, Meow Meow rubbing her heels. At the sight of Father Christmas, she bursts into tears and runs to him] DoC: [muffled because her face is in his shoulder] Daddy… I’m so sorry… [A brief moment of quiet is held.] SoC: Well, Meow Meow, Spot, Silver, and Coal. Do you know what Christmas is now? All the cats: Yes. SoC: You must be rewar- Meow Meow: Actually, I don’t think we need anything. We’ve already got the best present we could ever have – each other. ACT III SCENE I [it is several years later. Meow Meow is old and his hair is turning grey. He is curled up with the boy, who is playing guitar. the boy is now about 16 years old.] Meow Meow: [Thinking, have slight echo] I’m still not sure if all that really happened, that one night. Maybe it was all a dream, and my, and all of my friend’s, subconciouses worked it out on their own. [The family come and sit down around Meow Meow, and we see the other cats there too, also older.] Meow Meow: But it doesn’t matter. Because its Christmas. And we’re gonna keep telling that maybe in different ways, but it’ll have the same meaning. So, Merry Christmas, everybody.
