## Plot:

When Xavier gets extremely fed up with Nomcat winning at every game they play, it causes the two to have a huge fight. Nomcat decides to move back to his hometown, Seattle, Washington. When Xavier tries to apologize to Nomcat, he realises that Nomcat is gone! Xavier and Nibble Nom must get a flight to Seattle in order for Xavier to show how sorry he is to Nomcat.

## Story:

At Om Nom's house, Nomcat and Xavier play a TV video game. Nomcat beats the final level of the game. Vexed about this, Xavier smacks Nomcat to the floor with his game controller and yells at him. Nomcat and Xavier fight over it until Om Nelle comes in to see what's wrong. Om Nelle thinks Xavier should go to his room to take a break.

The next day, Nomcat comes over to Om Nom's house to talk to Xavier. Xavier and Nibble Nom board up their bedroom door with wood to keep Nomcat from coming in. Nomcat approaches the door but finds it locked. Nomcat tries to apologise but Xavier declines. This brings Nomcat to the point of not wanting to talk to Xavier or live in Nomville anymore.

Back at Nomcat's house, Nomcat books a plane trip to his official hometown of Seattle, Washington. After booking the flight, Nomcat writes a note and hangs it up on the refrigerator. Nomcat gets on the plane and takes his ultimate view of Nomville before moving to Seattle. At Om Nom's house, Xavier feels regretful for the way he had treated Nomcat. Nibble Nom suggests that he and Xavier go over to Nomcat's house to apologise. When they arrive, they find Nomcat nowhere in the house and notice a note hung up on the fridge. Xavier reads it and realises that Nomcat has moved away. This makes Xavier very sad and mournful.

Om Nom and Om Nelle play a card game when Om Nelle receives a phone call from Nomcat. Nomcat tells her that he is moving to Seattle because of Xavier's mistreatment towards him. Om Nelle puts the phone on speaker so that Om Nom can talk to him. After the call, Xavier and Nibble Nom return and tell Om Nom and Om Nelle what happened. They then go outside to the backyard. Xavier mourns while Nibble Nom plays with his toys. Xavier then sings a song about he fell in love with Nomcat. After the song, Nibble Nom suggests that he and Xavier go on a plane trip to Seattle to find him.

The next day, Xavier and Nibble Nom put some items in their backpacks, then they go to the airport. Meanwhile, at an apartment in Seattle, Nomcat walks in the hallway with some suitcases, then arrives at a door with the number 111. He walks in and reunites with his family. Later, at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Xavier and Nibble Nom walk with their bags and pick up a map for Seattle.

## Memorable Quotes:

* **Xavier:** Man! Now I feel awful about what happened! Now I really want to forgive Nomcat!
* **Nibble Nom:** Well, why don't we go over to his house so you can apologize!
* **Xavier:** That's a great idea! Come on, little bro!
* **Nibble Nom:** Right behind ya, big bro!
* (At Nomcat's house, Xavier and Nibble Nom are searching around the house for Nomcat)
* **Xavier:** Nomcat? Where are you? Nomcat? Nomcat?
* (Scene cuts to Nomcat's kitchen)
* **Xavier:** Oh, there's a note on the fridge.
* **Nibble Nom:** What does it say?
* **Xavier:** Let me read it. (reading the note) "Dear Xavier, Because of your misbehavior towards me, I'm going on a plane trip to Seattle to live with my family. Sincerely, Nomcat."
* **Xavier:** \*gasps\* Oh no!!
* **Nibble Nom:** What happened?
* **Xavier:** Nomcat went to go live with his family in Seattle! (voice begins to break) And now... And now... And now...!
* **Nibble Nom:** What?
* **Xavier:** And now I don't know what to do!
* **Nibble Nom:** Oh my goodness!

* **Xavier:** There's no way we can find him. This city is incredibly huge! Maybe we should just give up.
* **Nibble Nom:** Give up? *Give up?!?* The day may come when we'll give up on insuperable searches after ten to fifteen minutes, but that day is not today! The day may come when our favourite cat buddy may be lost from our lives and his enduring best friends forgotten, but that day is not today! Today we search! We will search for him in the streets, we will search for him in the trenches, we will search for him in the alleys and the buildings and the suburbs of this fair city. We'll search for him in the multilevel car parking facilities and even the Space Needle. And we couple. We happy couple. We small band of adoptive brothers. We shall not cease until he is found!

* **Nikita:** Your turn, Andy.
* **Andy:** Okay. (takes a card) One purple space. (moves his game pawn one purple space) Oh, yeah! I get to cross through the Gumdrop Pass! Woo! Your turn, Stimp.
* **Nomcat:** All right. (takes a card) Look at that. I can jump ahead two red spaces. (moves his pawn two red spaces) And I made it to Princess Frostine! Yeah!
* **Lawrence:** Cool, dude!
* **Nomcat:** Hey, bros! Why couldn't the princess finish making her cupcakes for the party?
* **Nikita:** I don't know, Stimp. Why?
* **Nomcat:** Because she needed more Frostine!
* (Nomcat, Lawrence, Nikita and Andy laugh. Suddenly, the ground shakes a little bit for a second and then stops)
* (pause)
* **Nikita:** Did you hear something?
* **Lawrence:** I don't think so.
* **Nomcat:** Hmph. You know, I'm starting to really enjoy playing this game with you bros.
* **Nikita:** That's good to hear.
* **Nomcat:** I've always enjoyed playing board games like this ever since I was a young cat. Right until the day I moved out of here to go to...
* (Suddenly, the ground begins to shake and rumbling can be heard)
* **Nomcat:** What's going on?
* **Lawrence:** I don't know, Stimp, but it sure does feel like an earthquake might be going on. Besides, the front door over there is glowing pretty bright.
* (The shaking increases as the door begins to glow brighter)
* **Lawrence:** Come on, bros. To my room, quick!
* (The door cracks up and explodes, then the shaking stops. The scene then cuts to Lawrence's bedroom)
* **Nikita:** Hey, boys! The shaking stopped!
* **Andy:** All right!
* **Nomcat:** Why don't we go out and check to see what happened?
* **Lawrence:** Great idea, Stimp.
* (The four boys run out of the bedroom. They stop and see something at the front doorway)
* **Nomcat:** \*shocked\* What the WHAT?!?!
* **Lawrence and Nikita:** \*happily\* Xavier!!
* **Nomcat:** How the heck did you find me, and how did you get all the way over here?
* (But before Xavier talks, Lawrence and Nikita hug him)
* **Lawrence:** Hey, buddy! How have you been?
* **Nikita:** We're glad you're here! But how did you come all the way over here?
* **Xavier:** Well, I was going to say that Nibble Nom and I got a flight here.

* **Xavier:** Well, his first name is Christopher, and his middle name is Remington.
* **Nibble Nom:** Coolio!
* **Xavier:** Except he goes by a different name.

* **Girl:** (offscreen) Boo!
* **Nomcat:** AAAH!!!
* (A female cat-nommie walks towards Nomcat and laughs hysterically)
* **Nomcat:** Rachel, what the heck?!
* **Rachel:** Haha! I got ya good, little bro!
* **Nomcat:** Rachel, since when do you have the right to do that? You scared me!

* (Nomcat opens his eyes and yawns)
