Cats & Dogs: Love is in the Air

The elder daughter of Cassidy and Maurice, Princess Giselle was exploring the woods one day, only to encounter the Prince of the Birds, Tony, who doesn’t want to be king.

## Chapter 1 Their Descendants

[Royal Garden]

Cassidy: Isn’t it great that we’ve found so many new places after our new kingdom is made?

Maurice: Yeah!

[Baby crying noises.]

Maurice: Did you hear that?

Cassidy: What is it?

[They head to the bushes, revealing a small basket with two baby leopards.]

Cassidy: We can’t leave them out here!

Maurice: So what?

Cassidy: We’ll take care of them, good?

Maurice: Sure.

[Holding the babies, they walk back inside the royal palace.]

[Timeskip to when the baby leopards are 12 years old.]

Giselle: We’re going exploring! We’re going on exploring! You coming?

Bluebell: Oh, Giselle, I’m reading books, remember? For goodness sake, would you be a bit less hyperactive? We’re only 12!

Giselle: Who cares?

Bluebell: You know Mom already said there’s danger in the Dark Woods, you’re not going there, or else I’ll tell Dad!

Giselle: You’re such a rattletail!

Bluebell: It’s “tattletale”! Like I said, you aren’t going until they’ve made peace!

Giselle: I’m capable enough!

Bluebell: But we aren’t even teenagers, already?

Giselle: They might be lying, the animals there might be nice! I’m going!

Bluebell: Hey!

[Giselle slams door.]

Giselle: Dinner’s at 6 o’ clock, I’d better be back there soon…but it’s only four thirty!

???: (holding a wooden sword) Stand back!

Giselle: Huh?

## Chapter 2 Meeting the Bird Prince

???: Stand back! You-you monster!

Giselle: You can’t call me a monster! You’re a clumsy penguin!

???: Hey! You’re from the Cats and Dogs Kingdom, right?

Giselle: I’m a Princess!

???: Uh…I’m a Prince, from the Birds’ Tribe, or Kingdom, or uh-

Giselle: What are you?

Tony: I’m Tony, Prince of the Birds’ uh-I can’t remember clearly. My kingdom’s always filled with fruits and stuff, but we’re out of water recently, we need help.

Giselle: (thinking) Perhaps that friendship thing would really work! (joyfully) I’m Giselle, Princess of Kittypup Haven.

Tony: Sorry for yelling at you, with this flimsy homemade sword. Mind if I show you around? The woods look like they’re weird and dead, but it looks different when there’s water, they have all sorts of fruits and berries, it’s really mouth-watering!

Giselle: You can come to my side too! They’re very nice and supportive (apart from my family who’s overprotective)!

Tony: No, I can’t. They’ll go nuts if I go further-or fly further. See you!

Giselle: Oh-bye!

[Giselle runs back to the Royal Garden.]

Maurice & Cassidy: Where were you? You’re late!

Giselle: Sorry!

Bluebell: (notices that Giselle’s all dirty) Hmm…

[Next day, Giselle and Bluebell are playing tag.]

Giselle: I’m gonna catch you, sis!

Bluebell: I’m older than you!

[Giselle spots a blue penguin in the bushes.]

Giselle: Oh, Tony!

Tony: Wanna play? The birds here don’t go out much, unlike me.

Giselle: Perhaps an adventure?

Tony: Yay!

[In the flower fields]

Tony: The dandelions are my favourite.

Giselle: Me too! I like how they fly!

Tony: Technically, they’re blown by the wind.

Giselle: (giggles) You’re just like my sister, she’s all facts!

Tony: I want to be free, just like them.

Giselle: Me too!

Tony: Best friends?

Giselle: Of course, we’re Best Friends-(suddenly falls down slope) AHHHHHH!!!

Tony: Giselle! Ahhh!

[Both fall down a slope, on top of a BEAR.]

Giselle: Uh-

Tony: RUN!!!

[Back at the Royal Garden.]

Giselle: It’s fun playing with you.

Tony: (nods) But my foot hurts.

Giselle: We can help you-

Bluebell: GET YOUR FILTHY FLIPPERS OFF MY SISTER, YOU BIRDHEAD!

Giselle: Bluebell, he’s-

## Chapter 3 Heart in Flames

Bluebell: Bird! There’s a bird in our garden! Intruder!

[Loud shrieks in the background, screaming “Fire! Fire!”.]

Giselle: Oh no-

[Town square, everyone’s safe, but someone’s missing!]

Charmaine: Sistine! Sistine? Where are you?!

Lindi: (in sign language) Kiki and Quinn, they’re missing too!

Oleander: Our children’s missing!

Bluebell: I’ll go get them!

[Bluebell runs into the houses among the giant wildfires.]

Sistine: (crying) Mamma!

Kiki: I’m scared!

Quinn: Look! Bleu!

Bluebell: Come on, follow me.

[Bluebell brings all the young children back safely. Firefighters are trying to solve the fire problem, and everyone’s at the town square listening to Cassidy.]

Cassidy: Bluebell! You’re safe with the kids!

[Cassidy hugs Bluebell, then continues her speech.]

Cassidy: Today, we are sorry to sorry to say that half of our township is destroyed by the recent wildfire and we need to rebuild it. Plus, we have officially decided our next queen, please welcome-Bluebell!

Maurice: Bluebell, would you take this duty as our future leader and always protect it?

Bluebell: Of course! It means the world to me!

[Giselle, behind them runs to Cassidy.]

Giselle: But, Mom!

Bluebell: There can only be one leader, Giselle.

Giselle: (angry) Of course, they favour you over me, gave you more praises than me. I’m never good enough, am I?

Maurice: Giselle, what are you-

Giselle: No! I’m leaving!

[Giselle runs away, to the Royal Garden where she meets Tony.]

Giselle: Tony!

Tony: Wanna see something?

[Tony pulls Giselle to a forest filled with red leaves.]

Tony: Ta da!

Giselle: Wow! Let’s camp here!

Tony: Why? My parents would be mad at me if I stay outside home for the night!

Giselle: I…ran away from home.

Tony: Oh, surely you’ll get back there, right?

Giselle: (shakes head)

Tony: You can stay in our Royal Tree.

Giselle: TREE?!
