Cathy's Crafts/Cathy's Return

This is the third chapter in Cathy's Crafts.

## Level 3-1

* Cathy: This is the cash that Rohann and I won from the fair, Dad.
* Cathy: So you can replace all that patio furniture.
* Fred: Are you sure, guys?
* Cathy: We're sure. Rohann and I felt terrible when Ming ripped your designer lawn chairs.
* Fred: I kinda miss that cat, actually... Think we'll ever see him again?
* Cathy: Well, Albany isn't too far from here...
* Cathy: ...but Rohann took it kinda hard when he placed second. I'm not sure they'll be back.
* Fred helps the store throughout the day.

### After the level

* Rohann with Ming enter the store.
* Rohann: Psst! Ming! Someone might see us, you stupid cat!
* Ming goes away from Rohann.
* Ming: Mew.
* Rohann goes to make Ming hide.
* Rohann: Quick, under here!
* Ming hides from Ivy and Fred.
* Fred: The interest on that loan is coming due.
* Ivy: But the patio furniture... If we can't sell it...
* Ming makes a noise.
* Rohann and Fred: AHHH!
* Ivy: Rohann? I thought you went back to Albany?
* Ming: MEOW!!!
* Rohann: Never mind that - what's all this about a loan! I thought I have you the money to replace your patio furniture?
* Fred: Uhh… Okay, look, can you keep a secret?

## Level 3-2

* One person looks for Cathy.
* **Hi, I'm looking for Cathy Bradford.**
* Cathy: You found me!
* **Oh my gosh! You're the Ming Doll lady! From the art fair!**
* Cathy: That's me!
* **Do you still sell those Ming Dolls? We can't get enough of them!**
* Cathy: Oh I'm sorry, they were limited editions, make just for the fair...
* **Aww, that's too bad...**
* Ming: Meooooown…
* **Oh my gosh! A real life Ming!**
* Cathy: Ming! How did you get here, little buddy?
* Ming: Meow?
* Cathy: Did you walk all the way here from Albany?
* Ming: Meow?
* Cathy: Okay. Just sit tight, and we'll get Rohann to come pick you up. Okay?
* Ming: Meow.

### After the level

* Ming: Meoooowrr… Meoooowrrrr...
* \*Ming meow!\*
* Ming: MEOOOOOWRRRR!
* Cathy: Oh, boy - I forgot about your bottomless appetite...
* Cathy: Alright, I'll get some more - just try not to destroy the store while I'm gone.
* Cathy leaves the store. Fred comes to the store.
* Fred: Okay, the coast is clear! Come in!
* Rohann comes in.
* Rohann: Are you sure those screwdrivers are here, Mr. B?
* Fred: Of course! I know where every nut, bolt, wrench and hex screw is in this place! Er… usually.
* Fred leaves.
* Ming: Meow?
* Rohann: Ming! I told you to stay at the hotel!
* Ming: Meow!
* Rohann: If Cathy sees you--
* Cathy enters the store.
* Cathy: Sorry Ming, I forgot my purse - Rohann?!
* Rohann: Er… um... Hi! He he I uh, just dropped in to uh... borrow a screwdriver! Can you show me where they are?
* Cathy points to the cabinet for Rohann.
* Rohann: Thanks!
* Ruhann gets it.
* Cathy: Hold on! What ae you doing here?
* Rohann: Ahh... I promised your dad I wouldn't tell!
* Cathy: My DAD?!? What are you up to?
* Rohann: Nothing! I'm just helping him fix his patio!
* Cathy: Fixing? But we gave him money to replace that stuff!
* Rohann: Please, don't say anything, okay? Everything's cool, I promise!
* Rohann leaves the store.

## Level 3-3

* Fred: The truth is, Cathy, your mother and I took out a loan recently - a pretty big one, in fact.
* Cathy: Dad, I wish you'd just told me. I could have helped.
* Fred: You had a lot on your mind with the art festival and all... We didn't want to worry you.
* Cathy: Don't be ridiculous, dad! We're a family! Besides, I'm not a kid anymore.
* Fred: That's true... Well, then, I suppose you should know we're also having trouble paying it off.

### After the level

* **I can't believe it - Ming is a REAL cat.**
* Ming: Mew!
* Cathy: Ming, I love you, but you're hardly the most personable cat I've ever met. What's your secret?
* Ming: Meowrrrrr!
* Cathy: Bingo! Or should I say, 'Mingo!' He he…
* Ming: Mew?
* Cathy: Hey, Rohann!
* Rohann comes to Cathy.
* Rohann: Yeah?
* Cathy: Would you mind making some flyers for me?

## Level 3-4

* Cathy: Hey, Kendra - how'd your paper go?
* Kendra: Not bad, considering I stayed up for three days straight to write it.
* Kendra: What'd I miss around here?
* Cathy: Nothing! In fact, you're just in time!
* Kendra: … For what?
* A little while later...
* Cathy: For THIS!
* Rohann and Ming enter the store.
* Rohann: I gave out all the flyers, Cath. Ming helped, too!
* Ming: Meowrr!
* Kendra: Wait... What are you doing still in town?
* Cathy: Yeah, you haven't actually told me what you and my dad are up to yet.
* Emily and Paige encounter!
* Rohann: Uhh… Look out, the customers are here!
* Rohann leaves aside.
* Emily: Hi Cathy! Do you still have any Ming Dolls for sale?
* Cathy: Oh! Let me check if I still have some left.
* Cathy is checking.
* Cathy: Here you go, Paige.
* Cathy gives Paige a Ming Doll.
* Emily pays.
* Cathy: Thanks!

### After the level

* Rohann: Check it out, Mr. B! Cathy here has your loan covered!
* Rohann gives the payment.
* Fred: Cathy, that's... that's amazing.
* Cathy: Thanks, Dad.
* Rohann: So - how'd we do?
* Rohann: I just need a LITTLE more, and I can pay them back in full!
* Fred: If the loan weren't due tomorrow, I'd say we were in good shape...

## Level 3-5

* Fred: Do me a favor and keep working, Rohann - I need some time to think.
* Rohann: Aye aye, captain!
* Rohann leaves.
* Fred walks around.
* Fred: C'mon, THINK! Where can I find the rest of that money?
* Fred: It can't be THAT hard... Cathy's got me most of it already!
* One person visits.
* **Awww... Is the Great Ming Sale ever?**
* Cathy: Sorry, it was just a one-time thing...
* Cathy: But we still have Ming products for sale at great prices!
* *Awww...'*
* Ming walks to her.
* Ming: Mew.
* **Oh hey, can I have my picture taken with Ming?**
* Ming: Mew?
* Cathy: Absolutely... WITH the purchase of our Ming Photo Combo.
* Cathy: you can get three photos of yourself with Ming and a vintage picture frame!
* **Deal!**

### During the level

* Cathy takes pictures of Ming's fans.
* **Can I have my picture taken with Ming?**
* Fred takes pictures with Ming.

### After the level

* Fred: We did it! Cathy, you are BRILLIANT!
* Ming: Mew!
* Fred: I gotta get to the bank before it closes, see you two later!
* Fred leaves to the bank. Cathy leaves aside.
* Rohann leaves. Traffic coming! Then Rohann leaves to the right and Cathy returns.
* Lilia enters the store.
* Lilia: Cathy Bradford! Is this your store?
* Cathy: Actually, this is my parent's hardware store... Though we added a few crafting supplies recently.
* Lilia: I see... I'm looking for Rohann Bosch. Have you seen him?
* Cathy: Sure, he's right he--
* Cathy thinks and looks around.
* Cathy: Rohann? Ming?
* Lilia: By the way, Cathy, I'm looking for an intern for my event next week.
* Lilia: If you're interested, let me know!

## Level 3-6

* Fred: I don't know where Rohann and Ming are! I swear!
* Cathy: They can't be hiding from Lilia for no reason...
* Cathy: Are you SURE you don't know anything?
* Kendra enters to tell Cathy.
* Kendra: They're not at the hotel, Cath!
* Cathy: I'll find them! Can you cover for me, Kendra? Thanks!
* Kendra: Wait!
* Cathy leaves the store.
* Kendra: Mr. B - you're hiding something, I can tell.
* Fred: Who, me?
* Fred: Fine, I AM hiding something! But not Rohann and Ming!
* Kendra: Are you SERIOUS?!?
* Fred: I am! So... will you help me?
* Kendra: You bet!
* Some time later... (**and after damage of parents' store**)

### After the level

* Cathy enters the shop.
* Cathy: I looked all over town, but there's no sign of them!
* Cathy: Do you think they've gone back to Albany?
* Kendra: Maybe... Why all the cat food?
* Cathy puts the food in Ming's bowl.
* Cathy: I brought some food to lure Ming out. Wait a minute-
* Cathy: Whoa, the store sure looks different!
* \*Ming meow\*
* Ming eats the food.
* Ming: Meowrr meowrr meowwwrrrrr!
* Cathy: ...MING!
* Ming: MEOWRR!
* Rohann goes to Ming.
* Rohann: Ming! You stupid cat, they'll see us!
* Cathy: ROHANN!
* Rohann: Yikes1
* Fred: Have you been hiding here the whole time!?
* Rohann: Uh... um... er…
* Fred: Cathy! While you were out, I took care of a few things...
* Fred: VOILA! Your new CRAFT store!

## Level 3-7

* Outside Cathy's Crafts' store, was a renovation and replacement of Hardware Store.
* Kendra: Please be patient, everyone! Cathy's Crafts will be open in just a few moments!
* Cathy: Dad - is this why you borrowed all that money?
* Fred: It only made sense, Cath. The hardware store was dying...
* Fred: It was only your crafting stuff keeping it alive!
* Cathy: But you love the hardware store - it's been in our family for generations!
* Fred: And I want to see it live on - as YOUR crafting supplies store!
* Fred: Cut the ribbon, Cath-bear. Your customers are waiting!
* Cathy goes to the ribbon.
* Cathy: I can't!
* Ivy: Honey, what's wrong?
* Cathy: What if I fail?
* Fred: Then you'll know that you tried.
* Cathy: I can't do this!
* Cathy leaves away.
* Ivy: Cathy!
* Ivy runs to get Cathy.
* Kendra: Huh? What's up with her?
* Fred: Maybe I put too much pressure on her - it was kind of sudden...
* Kendra removes the ribbon.

### After the level

* **Where's Ming? We want to take his picture! Ming! Come out!**
* Ming comes out to fans.
* Ming: Meowrrrr!
* **Ming! Look over here, please!**
* Kendra takes a picture.
* Rohann comes out.
* Rohann: Ming! I told you, we need to keep a low profile!
* Ming: Meowrrr!
* Lilia enters the store.
* Lilia: There you are, Rohann. So Cathy WAS watching your back after all.
* Rohann: Yikes!
* Lilia: Now come along - the Grandmaster wants a word with you...
* Cathy enters.
* Cathy: Excuse me? The Grandmaster? What's all this about?
* Lilia: Rohann belongs to an ancient guild of artists and crafters.
* Lilia: His humiliating defeat at the Annual Arts and Crafts Fair will not be tolerated.
* Kendra: … That's a little over the top, don't you think?
* LiliaL: I don't ask questions, I just follow orders. Now come along, Rohann.
* Rohann: Please, take care of Ming!
* Lilia: By the way, Cathy, I still need an intern to help with an event next week.
* Lilia: If you're interested, let me know.
* Rohann follows Lilia leave the store.
* Fred: Well that was weird...

## Level 3-8

* Fred: Wow, I didn't think Rohann would be part of some shady organization!
* Cathy: I don't know, Dad - I think he's just driven, that's all.
* Fred: Well, his problems are his own. We should keep out of it.
* Ivy: I agree, we should be focusing on your new store!
* Cathy: Mom, Dad - I REALLY appreciate all this but...
* Cathy: I just don't think I'm ready to take over the store yet... Even with all the changes.
* Ivy: What's wrong?
* Cathy: I've been working here on and off my whole life, but I've never been in charge.
* Cathy: I've always had you guys to ask if anything went wrong.
* Fred: So, it's time we taught you.
* Kendra: Cathy, remember the festival? How you wanted to quit?
* Kendra: You ended up almost winning the whole thing!
* Cathy: You're right - you're right... Phew... Okay, freak out over... Let's give it a shot.

### After the level

* Cathy: Well, that went surprisingly well.
* Fred: I told you, Cath-bear! You belong here!
* Cathy: Yeah... Yeah, I guess I do.
* Fred leaves the store.
* Cathy: Well, I guess this is it... I suppose I always knew I'd end up taking over the store... and at least I'm selling art supplies.
* Cathy: So why do I feel so... empty inside?

## Level 3-9

* Mark: Hey, babe! Thought you might be missing me, so here are some selfies of me in the Big Apple. Love you!
* Cathy: Well, at least SOMEONE's having a good time.
* Kendra enters the store.
* Kendra: Yo, Bestie, what's up?
* Cathy: Just looking at some pics Mark sent me.
* There are pictures of Mark in Big Apple, NY.
* Kendra: Seriously? He hasn't called or even texted in how long?
* Kendra: And now he's rubbing your face in his glamorous new life?
* Cathy: It's just his way of making me feel part of his life.
* Kendra: Yeah, right.
* Cathy: Do you think I made a mistake? Not going to New York with Mark?
* Kendra: No. Now if a rich, handsome young stock broker asked you to move, that'd be another story.
* Cathy: Lilia Rochette offered me an internship. I'd be crazy to turn it down, right?
* Kendra: Lilia Rochette? Well... that's certainly a big opportunity, but what about the store?
* Kendra: Your parents went through a lot to make all these changes.

### After the level

* Cathy: Mom, Dad - would you be okay watching the store for a few weeks while I pursue an opportunity with Lilia Rochette?
* Ivy: Lilia Rochette?! From Fancy Flower Design?! Of course!
* Fred: But... we just made all these changes to the store.
* Cathy: It's just two weeks, Dad - think of at as a my continuing education in the crafts industry.
* Fred: But...the customers - I don't know anything about crafting products.
* Cathy: So it's time I taught you.
* Cathy leaves the store.
* Fred: I can't believe Cathy is leaving us with the store already.
* Ivy: She's young - and this is a big opportunity for her.
* Fred: But we changed everything for her - she has her own crafting store!
* Ivy: She didn't ask us to, Fred. We sprung it on her without even asking for her input.
* Fred: Sigh... you're right... I just... don't want our baby leaving us, you know?

## Level 3-10

* Cathy: ...so that's why we have the frame next to the glue.
* Fred: ...I think I'm getting the hang of it!
* Kendra: Cathy, what do I do if someone's asking for help with their project?
* Cathy: Show them the book section - we have a ton of great ideas there.
* Cathy: I've also put some reference books behind the counter.
* Ivy: Er… does Ming REALLY eat this much for every meal?
* Ming: Meowrrr!
* Fred: Cathy, can I talk to you for a moment?
* Cathy: You're upset about me taking this internship, aren't you?
* Fred: I was... I still kind of am. But then I remembered something.
* Fred: You're an artist - and there's no big difference between making art and selling it.
* Cathy: Thanks, Dad.
* Fred: Here - I got you something.
* Fred gives book to Cathy.
* Cathy: Dad! This is hands down the best book on flower arranging ever written!
* Cathy: I've been looking for a copy flower!
* The customers enter!
* Kendra: Cathy, ccustomers!
* Cathy: I'll be right there! Thanks, Dad... Love you.

### After the level; Post-chapter

* Cathy enters the store.
* Fred: Well, I gotta say, this craft stuff might be even more fun than selling hardware.
* Cathy: WOW - this coming from a man who spent his honeymoon at the National Hardware Suppliers' Convention.
* Fred: In my defense, it WAS in Orlando.
* Fred: Night, Ming! Guard the store, okay?
* Ming: Meow!
* Cathy's parents' leave, and Cathy heads down to get something.
* Cathy dropped her phone upon leaving.
* Cathy shuts the door.
* Ming: Mew?
* Mark: Cathy! Cathy, it's Mark!
* Mark: ...Cathy? Cathy are you there? It's important. Sigh... Call me back, ASAP.
