Mertie clutched the poster tightly, grinning from ear to ear! He got the part he wanted.
“Huh, that’s odd,” Fran noticed. “They didn’t give you a part.” She giggled.
“Yes they did,” Mertie said in utter confusion.
“I am a doofus!”
“Hear hear!” Said Mickey, walking over. “Look at this! I’m the bad guy!”
“And I’m the LEAD!” Fran boasted, yet the way she said it sounded modest and humble.
In the days that followed, they rehearsed and practiced. Then those days turned into weeks, and weeks into months until finally they were ready to film!
When daybreak comes
With adventures unknown!
When yesterday’s crumbs
Are swept away!
What will tomorrow bring?
Tomorrow
Tomorrow!
Oh, tomorrow
There was a polite smattering of applause as Fran finished her big solo.
“And here we meet our heroes, when suddenly..” The tv cameracat stopped.
“Where is Mertie?” the director said, his face turning the color of a tomato.
“I art thou este herest,” Mertie said, really getting into the theater mood. He had only one line, which was, “Huh?” but to him, it was a HUGE deal.
All of the other cats said their line, but when it was his cue, he was wearing a shirt that said, “ CareBunny is FUNNY!” on it, and a big piece of tape stuck in his fur.
“MERTIE YOU MISSED YOUR CUE!” yelled the director. “Okay, let’s film!”
“H@?!mSI*^@9OH?” Mertie said-er, stated.
“No no no! Say it again! I want feeling!”
“H!)(#SNJH?”
“NO!”
“H*(B#@7nH?”
“NO!”
“H^!K(9$^H?”
“NOOOOOOOOOO!” The director started sobbing and his perfectly combed fur under his eyes got messed up. “WHY ME?”
“H&3J/:&*KH?
“Okay Mertie, you are FIRED!”
“Huh?” Mertie said and made the perfect face to go along with it. Kittens stopped crying. Several girl cats fainted. The boys dabbed at their tear-filled eyes. The director was stunned.
That “Huh” was the most beautiful thing they ever heard! The wind carried Mertie’s perfect tone of voice, confusion packed with just the right amount of musical edge! His eyes had grown large, and he had added the perfect amount of sadness and confusion to the mix.
“Finally! The perfect “Huh”!” The director cried.
“Replay the footage!” The cameraman went to find the video of Mertie and his beautiful ‘Huh’.
He looked up a moment later, his face betraying worry and fear.
“Uh, sir?” He began, “It seems that we, ah, weren’t filming…”
“NOOOOOOOO!”
