Wanting to get Nomcat to spend some time with Xavier, Nibble Nom must do everything he can, even if it means involving Nomcat's ex-girlfriend Natalie.

## Story

Nomcat and Starbright go out for milkshakes together at the ice cream shop. She invites him over to her house for a sleepover after the date. However, when Xavier and Nibble Nom find out about this, Xavier gets in an extremely bad mood again, making him angrily violently stomping the ground. Nibble Nom comes over to her house to talk to Nomcat. Xavier then bursts into Starbright's house angrily. He then uses his staff to blow Nomcat and Starbright apart. Nibble Nom explains to him that Nomcat always rushes into his relationships too fast, and that is why he can't always maintain them. A few days pass and Nomcat goes back to see Starbright.

Starbright explains to Nomcat that she had assumed he just wanted to be friends even though they go out on dates. Nibble Nom decides to go to Nomcat's ex-girlfriend, Natalie, and convince her to get back together with Nomcat. Nibble Nom finds during his visit with Natalie that she feels guilty for cheating on him with Xavier. Nibble Nom feels unsure that he should carry out this plan until Nomcat announces his own plans to go on a trip to Hawaii with Starbright.

The next day, Xavier goes to the hotel to talk to Natalie and ask her about going on another date with him. However, Natalie angrily defies and tells him that she needs to go to the boy who is more true with her. Xavier leaves, then Nomcat approaches the door to the hotel room. Natalie proudly greets Nomcat and says she wants to start a new life with him, but Nomcat says while he will always have a place in his heart for her, he has to move on, and advises her to do the same. He goes back to Starbright's house and tells Starbright that Xavier needs him and that he will see her again another day. Nibble Nom then lets Nomcat know that Xavier is at the ice cream shop.

Nomcat and Starbright then go to the ice cream shop to catch up with Xavier. They both see Xavier sitting at the table drinking his milkshake. Then they both walk to Xavier and ask if he's okay. Xavier then explains that he doesn't like being alone and he would rather have a friend to play with him rather than playing by himself. Nomcat reunites with Xavier and tells him that he remains his friend even when he's out with Starbright.

## Memorable Quotes

* **Starbright:** So, Nomcat. How was the sleepover?
* **Nomcat:** It was great. Having a sleepover at your house was one of the greatest things in my life.
* **Starbright:** Coolio!
* (A slam is heard in the background)
* **Xavier:** (offscreen) Where is he?! Where is that self-centered pathetic red cat?!

* **Om Nom:** Well, that was a great game.
* **Om Nelle:** Starbright, it's been so nice getting to know you.

* **Om Nelle:** Well, you're doing a lot better now, Nomcat. I mean, you went from an orange cat to a purple parrot without having to take that old dog lady step in between.
* (Om Nom, Nomcat, Starbright, and Om Nelle laugh)

* **Nomcat:** Nibble Nom, may I speak with you?
* **Nibble Nom:** Sure. Come on in.
* **Nomcat:** Starbright and I are both to a point of great pain. So we took a break. Listen, I just want to clear any bad feelings you might have about me and Starbright.
* **Nibble Nom:** (sighs) I guess it's okay. These are passing flings. No need to be upset.
* **Nomcat:** Good. Because we're going on vacation to Hawaii tomorrow!
* **Nibble Nom:** You are?
* **Nomcat:** Yeah. It will be for like a day or two.
* **Nibble Nom:** Well, at least you're not telling Xavier about it.
* **Nomcat:** Oh, don't worry. I won't tell him.

* **Nibble Nom:** Okay... Um Xavier. Please don't get mad when I tell you this!
* **Xavier:** What is it?
* **Nibble Nom:** \*sighs\* Dare I say it..... Nomcat is going on vacation to Hawaii with Starbright.
* **Xavier:** \*angers up\* WHAT?!?!?! \*bangs the table\* AND HE DOESN'T TELL ME?!?!?!?
* **Nibble Nom:** Well, he probably just didn't want you to find out.
* **Xavier:** Yeah! Of course he did! Because HE'S TERRIBLE AT KEEPING SECRETS!!
* **Nibble Nom:** Okay, please calm down big bro. We don't want you to try to hurt Nomcat again.

* **Nibble Nom:** \*facepalms\* Oh boy... here he goes again.
* (Om Nom and Om Nelle walk in)
* **Om Nom:** Nibble Nom? Are you okay?
* **Nibble Nom:** I'm starting to get worried about Xavier. He always seems to take Nomcat going on dates with Starbright WAY TOO hard.
* **Om Nelle:** Listen, Nibble Nom, I've known Xavier for a while now. Sometimes, he doesn't understand what a certain thing means, and sometimes if he hears it, he'll get sad or angry when he doesn't properly understand the meaning of something.

* **Nomcat:** Natalie?
* **Natalie:** Hello, Nomcat.
* **Nomcat:** What are you doing here?
* **Natalie:** Nomcat, I've been thinking lately about how much I miss you. I'm sorry for what I've done to you. I want us to be together again and... I promise I'll never betray you again. I love you, Nomcat.

* **Nomcat:** (talking to the Nomsons at the dinner table) I don't know what to do. Starbright and I are supposed to go on vacation tomorrow, but Xavier's in a bad mood, and here comes Natalie all regretful wanting to get back together with me and whatnot.
* **Om Nom:** I wouldn't forgive her so fast, Nomcat. Remember? She cheated on you with Xavier.
* **Om Nelle:** Yeah, she really acted crazy.

* (Om Nom and Om Nelle are in bed)
* **Om Nelle:** I'm really concerned about Nomcat. What Natalie did was unforgivable. I hope he doesn't go back to her.
* **Om Nom:** I understand, Om Nelle. You know, there might be a way to bring home the point that she hasn't changed.
* **Om Nelle:** Well, how do we do that?
* **Om Nom:** Hold on.
* (Om Nom runs out the hall and knocks on a door)
* **Om Nom:** Xavier?! (pause) Xavier!
* **Xavier:** Yeah?
* **Om Nom:** You busy right now?!
* **Xavier:** No, I got time. What's up?
* **Om Nom:** Would you mind trying to get Natalie to go on a date with you again?
* **Xavier:** Uh... probably. I mean... in what context?
* **Om Nom:** Well, we're trying to make Nomcat realise that she's no good and she's not trustworthy and if he catches you guys, then...
* **Xavier:** O-Okay, no, okay, no, I'm with you now. No... Y-Yeah, I could probably do that.
* **Om Nom:** All right. Thank you!
* (Om Nom runs back to the bedroom)
* **Om Nom:** This is great, Om Nelle. We'll expose Natalie for who she is.

* (Xavier knocks on the door. Natalie opens it)
* **Xavier:** Natalie! Hey!
* **Natalie:** Huh?! Oh, it's you blue boy. What do you want?
* **Xavier:** I was wondering.... do you wanna go on a date?
* **Natalie:** I'm sorry... but I can't!
* **Xavier:** Why not?
* **Natalie:** Because I realised that cheating on Nomcat for you was a BIG mistake! I realised that I need to go to the boy who is MORE true with me!
* **Xavier:** But you were okay with dating me before!
* **Natalie:** Face it, blue boy! That was then, this is now! Now go on! Beat it!
* **Xavier:** Fine!

* (Nomcat knocks on the door. Natalie opens it and sees him)
* **Natalie:** \*gasp\* Nomcat!
* **Nomcat:** Hello, Natalie.
* **Natalie:** Oh, come here, baby. Have you thought about what I said?
* **Nomcat:** Yes, I have. And I still love you, Natalie.
* **Natalie:** Oh, Nomcat!
* **Nomcat:** But... I don't have time to take you back.
* **Natalie:** Why not?
* **Nomcat:** Natalie, I came over here wanting to believe that there was still a chance for us. But on the way, I passed a pond, jumped over some rocks and had some red cat thinking time. (pause) Natalie, we leave certain parts of our lives in the past for a reason. What you and I had was a wonderful thing. And as much as I have the best deal of love for you, our time is over. I love you very much.
* **Natalie:** (sad) Oh, Nomcat. Isn't there anything I can do to make you happy?
* **Nomcat:** Yes, there is. You can live your life, Natalie. Live it as great and as happy as you can. I love you.
* (Nomcat gives Natalie a kiss and then walks out of the room. A single tear drop falls from Natalie's eye)
