The Creation of Tombo/Hiram, Olivia, and Kiki's Wish

*(Then suddenly, the Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings heard a man's Scottish-accented voice speak up from upstairs)*

Male Voice: (Voice-over) Well, now....

*(The Gangreen Gang and the Dazzlings turned and looked to see a man and his daughter coming down the stairs. The man is a 37 year old man with short red hair and mustache, brown eyes, a Scottish accent, and wearing a pair of glasses, a red bowtie, a light green long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up, an olive green apron, dark green pants, and black shoes. He is Hiram Flaversham, the one who said “Well now....” just now. And his daughter is a 5 year old girl with short pale blonde chin-length hair, brown eyes, a Scottish accent, and wearing a red ribbon on the left side of her head behind her left ear, a white short-sleeved shirt with poofy sleeves, a blue sleeveless dress, white frilly knee-length pantalettes, white socks, and black Mary Jane shoes. She is Olivia Flaversham, Hiram's daughter)*

Hiram: It won't take much longer.

*(With them were a 13 year old human girl, three animals, and a small male peg-legged bat. The 13 year old girl has short dark brown hair, gray blue eyes, and wearing a big red hair ribbon, a long-sleeved purplish black dress, and orange shoes. She is Kiki Witherspoon, the Flavershams' neighbor and best friend from the village. The first male animal is a male black cat with black fur, white eyes, black cat-like pupils, pointy ears, light pink ear interiors, and a tiny light pink nose. He is Jiji, Kiki's pet talking cat. The second male animal is a chubby male cat with orange fur, black stripes, triangular ears, a yellow muzzle, and a pink nose. He is Garfield, the Flavershams' pet cat. The last male animal is a thin male dog with yellow fur, a black nose, tail, and spots, brown floppy ears, and a red tongue. He is Odie, the Flavershams' pet dog and Garfield's friend. And the small male peg-legged bat is a peg-legged crippled male bat with brown fur, large brown ears with pink innards and with his right ear having a small hole on a part of its edge near its tip, a somewhat crippled left wing, yellow eyes, black pupils, red eyebags around the eyes, and wearing a violet and light violet scarf around his neck, a purple turtleneck tanktop, black pants, a gray shoe on his left foot, a brown wooden peg leg in place of his right foot, and sometimes wears a black newsboy cap. He is Fidget, the Flavershams' live-in pet talking bat and best friend from the village)*

Garfield: Oh, boy! Hope it's before supper time?

*(Odie whined a bit in annoyance, then barked a bit in agreement with Hiram)*

Jiji: (Rolling his eyes in annoyance) Oh, Garfield! You always think of your stomach!

Hiram: Just a little more paint and he's all done.

*(Quickly, the Gangreen Gang and the Dazzlings silently flew higher and got onto the top shelf, watching Hiram walk up to his latest creation)*

Hiram: I think he'll be okay, don't you, guys?

Fidget’s group: Yes. We agree.

Olivia: That’s right, Daddy.

Kiki: (To Olivia) I told you so.

*(As Hiram began working on the boy puppet, he hummed a tune while painting black eyebrows on the boy puppet. The Gangreen Gang and the Dazzlings saw the next shelf across from them, ran so they reached the shelf, and made it. Then they ducked behind a wooden music box and the other wooden figurines. Hiram dipped his brush into bowl of water with a young female goldfish next to it in her own bowl of water, pebbles, and a castle tower with a wooden door lying down. This young female goldfish has a red body, a peach head, short orange red spiky hair, a white underbelly, and white eyes with black pupils that lack visible irises. She is Ponyo, the Flavershams’ pet goldfish. Ace, Adagio, and Sonata smiled and watched as they noticed Billy eyeing on a wooden Pikachu puppet. The fat boy wolf-whistled and ran towards the Pikachu puppet)*

Billy: (Chuckles bashfully and goofily) Baby!

*(He was about to kiss the Pikachu puppet)*

Ace: (Concerned) Hey, Billy? I don't think you can convince the babes to kiss you.

Adagio: (Concerned) He’s right. And besides, that wooden Pikachu puppet is just an inanimate object.

Sonata: (Concerned) Plus, it’s a male.

*(Billy looked and realized that the Pikachu puppet had been perverted)*

Billy: (Sheepishly) Oh! I beg pardon!

*(He turned away, clearing his throat, and the Dazzlings and the rest of the Gangreen Gang sighed. Finally, Hiram put on the last touches and smiled. That was dipping his brush into a jar of black paint and painting a big smile, glasses, and freckles on the boy puppet’s face)*

Hiram: (Voice-over) See? *That* makes a big difference.

*(Olivia, Kiki, and Fidget’s group nodded. Even the Gangreen Gang and the Dazzlings nodded as well while smiling)*

Arturo: (Happily) *¡Muy bueno!* Very, very go...!

*(Even Starlight started to giggle happily until she and the midget boy paused, facing a wooden Charmander puppet)*

Starlight: (Shrugging) Well, can't please everybody.

*(Then Aria noticed Snake frowning at Arturo and Starlight)*

Aria: (Concerned) Snake? Are you okay?

Snake: (Frowning, to Aria) More or lessssss. *(Frowning, to Arturo and Starlight)* Now quit telling thosssssse whopperssssss!

Hiram: Now, I have just the name for you: Tombo Flaversham! *(To Garfield)* Do you like it, Garfield?

Garfield: (Frowns while shaking his head) Boring!

Hiram: How about you, Odie? Do you like it?

*(Odie whined in displeasure, thinking “Tombo” was a dumb name for a boy)*

Hiram: (Surprised, to Garfield and Odie) No?! *(To Ponyo)* You do, don’t you, Ponyo?

Ponyo: (Frowns while shaking her head) I don’t like that name. I thinks it’s a clown’s name.

Hiram: Well, we’ll just leave it to my daughter, Fidget, Kiki, Jiji, and Little Wooden Head. *(To Olivia)* Do you like it?

Olivia: (Pondering for a moment) I always wanted to name him “Jimmy.” Short for “James.” *(In happy realization)* But I think “Tombo” is a pretty cute name!

Hiram: How about you, Kiki?

Kiki: Oh, yes! I like that names. It’s beautiful.

Hiram: Well? What do you think, Fidget.

Fidget: (Nodding his head) Um, yeah. I like that name, too.

Hiram: Jiji?

Jiji: (Nodding in agreement with Fidget and the girls) Affirmative!

Hiram: (To Olivia, Fidget, Kiki, and Jiji) Well then, let's find out. *(To the puppet boy, now Tombo Flaversham)* Do you like it?

*(He pulled the strings to make Tombo say yes and smiled)*

Hiram: (Laughs) That settles it

Olivia: (Happily) “Tombo” it is!

Fidget: (Laughs while spinning around in delight) It’s like a dream!

Kiki: (Dreamily, sighs) A wonderful dream come true!

Jiji: (Happily) It’s a small world after all!

*(The Gangreen Gang and the Dazzlings smiled to themselves. Then Hiram picked up Tombo)*

Hiram: Come on now, we'll try you out!

*(The Gangreen Gang and their girlfriends saw Olivia coming their way, and the ten of them hid underneath a music box with little players)*

Olivia: (Voice-over, happily) Music, professor!

*(She pushed a button and it started to play music. Underneath, the Gangreen Gang and the Dazzlings had to dodge the knick-knacks)*

Arturo: (While getting hit) *¡Oye!* Watch the tweeds!

*(He missed a gear, he but got poked in the back)*

Arturo: (While getting hit) Ow, ow, ow!

Starlight: (While getting hit) Take it easy with my dress!

Snake: (While getting hit) Hey, don't messssss with my sssssstockingssssss, pleasssssse?

*(As they crawled back out, Aria nearly dodged the turning key)*

Aria: (Wearily) Lot of downbeats in there!

*(Then she, the Gangreen Gang, and the rest of the Dazzlings looked to see Hiram playing with Tombo as Jiji followed them while Olivia, Fidget, Kiki, Garfield, Odie, and Ponyo watched with smiles. A little song began to play with Hiram humming his tune)*

Hiram: **Little Wooden Head**

**Go play your part**

**Bringing little joy**

**To every heart**

*(Kiki then stepped back as Tombo came towards her)*

Hiram: **Little do you know**

**And yet it's true**

**That I’m mighty proud of you**

**Little wooden feet**

**And best of all**

**Little wooden seat**

**In case you fall**

*(As Tombo was lifted and brought back down, Kiki got out of the way)*

Kiki: (Giggling) How graceful!

*(Then Olivia finished the verse for her father, which he gladly let her)*

Olivia: **Never let a single tear be shed**

*(She and Hiram finished the rest of the verse with Fidget)*

Hiram, Olivia, and Fidget: **Our Little Wooden Head**

*(Meanwhile, the Gangreen Gang and the Dazzlings stood there as they continued playing the song. Then they saw Hiram, Olivia, and Kiki and pretended they were Austrian boys and girls dancing as Hiram and the girls past by. Hiram turned the Tombo towards Olivia)*

Hiram: Olivia, this is Tombo.

Olivia: (Patting Tombo’s head) Hello, Tombo.

Hiram: Tombo, say hello to Fidget.

Hiram: Tombo, this is Ponyo.

*(He pulled the strings on Tombo’s back to say hello)*

Hiram: Say, “How do you do.”

*(Ponyo spun around, feeling flattered)*

Ponyo: (Flattered) Charmed, I’m sure!

*(Hiram carried Tombo back to Fidget)*

Hiram: Tombo, meet Fidget. Say hello.

Fidget: Hello, Tombo.

*(Then Hiram turned Tombo to Kiki and Jiji)*

Hiram: Tombo, I’d like you to meet Kiki.

Kiki: (Curtsying) Hi, my name’s Kiki. *(Petting Jiji)* And this is my cat, Jiji.

Jiji: (Purring) Hello, Tombo. It’s a sure and sheer delight!

*(Then Hiram pulled the strings on Tombo’s back and turned him to Garfield and Odie, the former who was licking his paw)*

Hiram: Say hello to Garfield and Odie.

Garfield: Hello, Tombo.

*(Then Tombo petted Garfield and Odie, and he liked this until Tombo kicked Garfield. Odie, Fidget, and Kiki laughed at this)*

Hiram: (Smiling) Oops! Oh, mischievous already!

*(Garfield frowned and swatted at Tombo’s leg, getting it a little tangled)*

Hiram: You see what happens?

*(He untangled Tombo’s leg, and then the latter crawled towards Garfield as the chubby cat backed up until he fell down some stairs. Garfield peeked back up and saw Tombo)*

Hiram: BOO!!

*(Garfield got spooked and fell down again, and Olivia laughed a bit as Hiram held Tombo)*

Hiram: Up we go!

Olivia: You’re a cute fellow!

Kiki: And that smile!

Hiram: You know I....

*(Then he noticed Garfield, having climbed up the steps, rubbing against his leg for a bit)*

Garfield: Come on, pet me! I haven’t even had my supper yet! And I’m tired!

Hiram: You little rascal! Jealous, hmm?

*(He, Olivia, and Kiki picked up Garfield, Odie, Fidget, and Jiji respectively)*

Hiram: You know, Tombo, I think Garfield is jealous of you.

*(He smiled as Garfield tried to hit Tombo, and Hiram and the girls set the pets down on the work desk)*

Olivia: (Petting Garfield) Don't you worry, Garfield. We still like you.

Fidget: (Agreeing) That's right.

Jiji: (Agreeing) You can take that to the bank.

(Even Odie happily barked a bit in reassurance, making Garfield happily purr a bit)

Garfield: (Happily purring a bit) That's good to know.

Hiram: And I....

*(Then they heard all the clocks hanging on the wall ticking loudly, making their chimes)*

Hiram: (Slowly realizing) Uh-oh....

*(They looked at all the clocks Hiram had made as they all chimed together at the same time and all different looking. One had two ducks quacking a bit. The second had a bee buzzing a bit. The third is with a female bird and her three baby birds chirping a bit. The fourth is a turkey putting his head out and a lumberjack trying to chop it but missed every time. The fifth is a hunter trying to shoot the bird as it chirps repeatedly for a bit. The sixth is a drunk hanging out a bar doorway and hiccupping. And the last is a woman spanking a child, who is whining a bit)*

Hiram: I wonder what time it is.

*(He then pulled out his pocket watch with a picture of two men banging mugs together. It said 9:45 PM, making Hiram and everyone else realize one thing and one thing only as the clocks hanging on the wall stop chiming)*

Hiram: 9:45 PM.

Kiki: It's getting late.

Olivia: (To Hiram, agreeing) Yep. *(To Kiki)* And it's definitely a good thing you're sleeping over.

Kiki: (Nods in agreement with a soft smile) I'll say.

Hiram: (Agreeing) Indeed.

*(Then he changed the subject happily)*

Hiram: Anywho, come now, *bairns*, off to bed.

*(Fidget's group yawned as Hiram, Kiki, and Olivia picked Garfield, Odie, Jiji, and Fidget up respectively. Then Hiram looked at Tombo)*

Hiram: Good night, Tombo. *(Smiles as he pokes Tombo's nose)* Little funny face.

*(The Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings yawned too)*

Hiram: Good night, Ponyo. My little water baby.

*(Hiram petted Ponyo playfully a bit)*

Ponyo: (Giggles a bit) Good night.

*(Fidget's group was about to get down when Olivia spoke)*

Olivia: Guys?

*(Fidget's group stopped and looked up at the girl)*

Olivia: You say good night, too.

Kiki and Hiram: Please.

Fidget and Jiji: (Nods in agreement) Right. Good night.

Garfield: (Yawns) Good night.

Hiram: (Voice-over) Now go to sleep, my little mermaid.

Olivia: (Giggling a bit) Like one of my favorite fairy tales!

*(Olivia and Kiki then respectively petted Fidget, Jiji, and Odie a bit and then Kiki kissed Garfield on his head)*

Olivia and Kiki: Good night.

*(Odie briefly and happily barks a "Good night" in response and he and Fidget's group then settled to sleep in their own little beds, with Garfield putting on a yellow sleeping cap with a matching yellow pom-pom tip. Arturo and Starlight were getting sleeping bags out of the bag for them, his brothers, Trixie, and the other three Dazzlings and they removed their hats, shoes, and Ace's sunglasses and climbed in their own)*

Starlight: (Sleepily) This is your idea of comfort.

Arturo: (Sleepily) *Muy commodable*, right, Ace?

Ace: (Sleepily, nods) Mm-hm. Solid comfort.

Adagio: (Sleepily) Just like my little honey-wunny said.

*(Then with that, the Gangreen Gang and the Dazzlings all got in their own comfortable places, sighed, and fell fast asleep. Later that night, everyone else was in their own beds, now wearing pajamas. Hiram is now wearing a cream colored long-sleeved pajama jacket and cream-colored long pajama pants, and without his glasses, and he is sleeping in a small, simple bed made out of a white mattress with a white pillow, a mahogany headboard, white sheets, and a warm, fuzzy crimson blanket behind an olive green curtain next to Garfield and Odie, who are already fast asleep in their own beds. Garfield's bed is a soft dark gray cat bed and Odie's bed was a soft crimson dog bed with a cream-colored interior. Olivia is now wearing baby blue long-sleeved footy pajamas with a baby blue zipper and smooth baby blue soles, along with a baby blue ribbon to match, and she is sleeping in a blue sleeping bag on top of a baby blue air mattress with a white pillow and a white sheet inside a blue indoor tent behind a baby blue curtain. The tent is next to Fidget, who is now wearing a violet pajama tanktop and violet long pajama pants and was already asleep in a cream colored pouch of a large brown Kangaskhan doll next to a small light purple baby Kangaskhan doll. And Kiki is now wearing a white long-sleeved nightgown with poofy sleeves and white frilly neck and sleeve rims and yellow sleep slippers, and without her hair ribbon. Underneath the nightgown, she wears a white undergarment pants with poofy legs and white frilly ankle rims, a white sleeveless undergarment shirt with five small, clear, plastic buttons and a yellow ribbon on the chest, and black stockings, and she is sleeping in a small, simple bed made out of a white mattress with a white pillow, a gold yellow headboard, white sheets, and a warm, fuzzy red blanket behind a blackish purple curtain next to Jiji, who is already fast asleep in his bed, which is a soft orange cat bed with a black and green striped interior)*

Olivia: (Looking at Tombo) Look at him, Fidget and Jiji. He almost looks alive.

*(Fidget and Jiji, who slowly woke up upon hearing her, both gave a nod and yawn)*

Fidget: He sure does

Jiji: Yep.

Kiki: (Looking at Tombo) Wouldn't it be nice if he was a real boy?

Olivia: It would, indeed, be nice if Tombo were my brother than just a toy puppet.

Hiram: (Shrugs) Possibly. *(Then he sighed sadly)* But then again, if only your mother and our supposed-to-be newborn son hadn't passed away two years ago, then it would've been good.

Kiki: (Sighs sadly in agreement with Olivia, Fidget, and Jiji) I agree.

Fidget and Jiji: (Nods) Yeah.

Olivia: (Sleepily with a hint of sadness, stretching a bit) I miss them already.

*(Then after feeling sentimental for a bit, they changed the subject, resuming going to bed)*

Hiram: (Yawns, then sleepily) Oh well, come on. We go to sleep.

*(Hiram put out his candle, and he and Kiki in their own beds while Olivia settled in her sleeping bag. Garfield, Odie, Fidget, and Jiji went back to sleep until....)*

Hiram: Oh, Garfield.

*(Garfield woke up again and frowned in annoyance. Only Odie, Fidget, and Jiji remained asleep)*

Garfield: (Annoyed and groggy) What is it now?

Hiram: I forgot to open the window.

*(Frowning in annoyance, Garfield climbed onto Hiram’s bed to get to the window, climbed up, and opened it ajar. The chubby cat pushed it more and hung onto it. He swung himself back to the sill and sat down. Olivia and Kiki, noticing something at the window, jumped out of their sleeping bag and bed respectively, and rushed over to Hiram’s bed. Bolting awake from that, Hiram noticed what Olivia and Kiki is looking at and got happily amazed as the girls are)*

Hiram: (Excitedly) Oh, guys!

*(Olivia pointed to a bright, twinkling silver star in the sky upon Fidget, Odie, and Jiji bolting awake for this)*

Olivia: Look! The Wishing Star!

*(Curiously, the Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings woke up and looked at the same bright silver colored star as Hiram, Olivia, and Kiki got on their own knees and began to pray)*

Hiram: Star light, star bright, the first star I see tonight.

Olivia: I wish I may, I wish I might.

Kiki: Have the wish we make tonight.

*(Then they finished their prayer)*

Kiki: Hey Jiji, do you know what we wished?

Jiji: No, what?

*(The Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings listened closely and Hiram, Olivia, and Kiki whispered)*

Hiram: (Whispering) I wish that my little Tombo might be a real boy.

Olivia: (Whispering) With my wish that I would have him as my official big brother.

Kiki: (Whispering) Along with my wish that I may have him as my boyfriend.

*(Hiram laid back in bed and petted Garfield while Kiki and Olivia walked back to their own private rooms, closed the curtains behind them, and went back to bed as well)*

Kiki: (Sleepily, petting Jiji) Wouldn't it be nice?

Olivia: (Sleepily) Just think. A real boy.

Ace: (Sighs) Very lovely thought.

Adagio: (Shrugs) But not at all practical.

*(She, her sisters, Starlight, Trixie, and the Gangreen Gang yawned and lay down to sleep)*

Hiram: (Sleepily while petting Garfield) A real.... Boy....

*(Then with that, Hiram sleepily stopped petting Garfield as he saw this and looked at the Hiram, who is, by now, sleeping away. Garfield got off of Hiram’s bed, curled up in his own bed, and went back to sleep. soon falling into a deep sleep)*

***Coming up: Answering Hiram, Olivia, and Kiki's prayer and wish, a certain good witch magically comes to their house and uses her magic to bring Tombo to life and give the title of consciences for Tombo to the Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings. Then after the Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings give a piece of good advice to Tombo on "Giving a little whistle," Tombo's accidental loud commotion wakes everyone else up and soon enough, Hiram and Fidget's groups end up happily bonding with Tombo and even the Gangreen Gang and Dazzlings upon learning of what just happened a moment ago while Hiram and Fidget's groups were asleep.***
