Darien: Here you go. *places a bowl on the ground in front of Phoebe* Phoebe: What is this stuff? Darien: Food. Phoebe: No it isn't. Darien: Yes, it it. *grabs the can off the counter* Says right on the label: CAT FOOD. Phoebe: Eww. Would you eat this stuff? Darien: No. I'm not a cat. Phoebe: Well, neither am I. Darien: Yes you are. Phoebe: Not originally. Darien: But you are now. And I'm not feeding a third person. Phoebe: You already are, though! Michael's almost always over, and so is Kira! Not to mention your girlfriend who has seven stomachs. . . . Darien: Phoebe . . . Phoebe: All I'm saying is that you're already feeding five people, why not feed one more? Darien: No. You are a cat. You will be treated like a cat. *Phoebe's cresent moon bald spot begins to glow* Phoebe as a rhino: Not now, I'm not. Darien: No! The floor! Phoebe as a snake: Not now, I'm not. Darien: Stop it.

Phoebe as a panda: Not now, I'm not. *The front door can be heard opening and closing, but neither notice the intruder.* Darien: How many times must I tell you! Phoebe as a mouse: Not now, I'm not. Darien: Last warning. Phoebe as a hippo: Not now, I'm not. *The intruder hears the commotion in the kitchen and checks to see what's happening.* Celeste: Darien, what's goi-- Darien: Stop. Phoebe as an emu: Not now, I'm not. Darien: Phoebe . . . Phoebe as a camel: Not now, I'm not. Darien: Now. Phoebe as a hawk: Not now, I'm not. *Celeste quietly walks away.* Darien: Stop it. Phoebe as a bear: Not now, I'm not. *The front door is heard opening and closing in the background.* Darien: *gritting his teeth* Stop . . . Phoebe as a kangaroo: Not now, I'm not. Darien: It . . . Phoebe as a piggy: Not now, I'm not. Darien: Now. Phoebe as a fox: Fine. *changes into her human form (don't worry, she's fully clothed)* I'll get some myself. Darien: No. Phoebe: What do you mean, "no?" Darien: I mean no. You can't. I can't afford a sixth person! Phoebe: Then I'll go somewhere where they'll feed me some real food. Darien: You don't have any money. . . . *He quickly reaches for his wallet, as he recognizes Phoebe's evil plan . . .* Phoebe! Phoebe: Ha! *running from the kitchen, and rushing to the front door* Darien: You can't hold that transformation forever! *He tackles her as she reaches for the door knob, and they crash to the floor.* Phoebe *while wrestling for the wallet*: Ack! Get off! Darien *while wrestling for the wallet*: Give me my wallet! Phoebe *while wrestling for the wallet*: No! You're trying to feed me cat food! I won't stand for it! Darien *while wrestling for the wallet*: Drop it, Phoebe! *A bright flash of light interrupts the argument.* Phoebe as a cat: Drat. Darien: I told you that you couldn't hold the transformation forever! All that senseless changing sucked you dry! I won! *The door opens and Celeste enters.* Celeste: Has it calmed down yet? Phoebe: Yoink. *She snatches the wallet and dashes out the door with it clamped between her teeth.* Darien: Darn it. Celeste: What's up with her? Darien: She doesn't like what I tried to give her to eat. Celeste: You didn't try to give her cat food, did you? Honestly, I thought you would have more common sense than that. . . . Darien: She's a cat. Celeste: Not originally. |
