Eighth 'night'

Puppycat: (She totally is a workaholic, gentlemen! Luckily, Bee, Ruby, and I know how to snap her out of it!)

Ronald Knox: You do? How, Puppycat?
Sapphire: PC, don't you dare!
Puppycat: (I WILL TELL RUBY YOUR WEDDING PRESENT TO HER IF YOU DON’T TAKE A DAMN BREAK NOW!)
Sapphire: *covering her ears* Itai, not so loud! And why should I, PC?
Puppycat: (Because if you don’t, Bee and I will tell Ruby about your wedding present to her. And Ruby will tell everyone you have a slight crush on Tennessee and Galleth.)
Sapphire: *blushing* P-P-PC! *sigh* Fine. *types up one last sentence and saves the chapter*
Ronald Knox: Woohoo! Thank you, Puppycat. *He and Tennessee high five each other*
Tennessee: What was that the critter said about you havin’ a crush on me?
Sapphire: (blush) N-Nothing for you to know about. Also, Sarastro, you’re gonna have to be sexier than that
Sarastro: What’s your point?
Sapphire: I was a Wickersham and alternate for Cat and Mayzie LaBird. Here. *hands him a DVD* To get inspiration but don't watch my scenes. *she starts to prep up before the boys could ask why* If you'll excuse me, gotta get Dad in his doctor costume. *Ronald and Tennessee look at Sarastro*

Sarastro: I said to my uncle if he can do a funny song, I might forgive him for going AWOL on my cousins and my aunt.
Ronald Knox: What kind of funny song is he gonna do? *Sapphire scoops up Puppycat and then leaves, shutting the front door*

Sarastro: Give ya three guesses.
Ronald Knox: One of these days she’s gonna work herself to death. *Tennessee shrugs in agreement*
Sarastro: At least she’s making people happy, that’s why she’s working so hard
Ronald Knox: Good point.
Tennessee: When was the last time the kid relaxed?
Sarastro: Maybe on occasion. She did also go on that vacation with Kaito once
Ronald Knox: I remember.
All 3: Hmm…
Tennessee: So, what’s going on today?
Sarastro: We’re in luck. It’s just the funny song and then she’s free in the afternoon. Why?
Ronald Knox: Take her on a date. She needs respite.
Sarastro: Me? I'm her cousin. It'd be too weird. Kaito should do that. Speaking of which, where is he anyway?
Tennessee: He’s helping Rosie and Marie rehearse their comedy routine for tomorrow.
Sarastro: Oh yeah. Sapph agreed to that, but she’s a little skeptical about Two Brains’s idea for the 10th
Ronald Knox: Oh?
Sarastro: Something about it being zombie themed
Tennessee: Zombies?
Sarastro: Yeah and math too
Ronald Knox: Zombies and math? Oh no.
Rose Quartz: *popping up between the three of them* EEEEEEEVVVVVVIIIIILLL! *plops on the couch and laughs at their surprised faces*
Sarastro: Yeah, he’s asking some of us and the ladies to help out too. We’re still looking for a few more. Hey, I thought you two were rehearsing
Rose Quartz: We were. Marie had to go help Sanji make lunch. Sapph managed to grab some b-fast they made before she left. Now he’s telling her stories about his adventures and Big Mama *shudder*
Ronald Knox: What could possibly be evil about math?
Rose Quartz: *as she grabs the DVD from Sarastro's hands, puts it in and turns it on* Lots of things, Mr. Knox. Lots of things.
Ronald Knox: Why are you watching that?

Rose Quartz: Just to get inspiration. *looks at the three confused gents*  Well, don’t sit there you three. You gonna watch or what?
Ronald Knox: *shrug* *gasp* Whoa! Sarastro, is it just me or does your cousin look sexy as Mayzie LaBird?
Sarastro: (blush) Tell Sapph that. This was when she and her friends were in high school and getting more confident. The drama teach noticed her when their Mayzie lost their voice on opening night and immediately cast her in the role
Ronald Knox: Nice. Rosie, you’re not gonna try for Mayzie are you?
Rose Quartz: No, thinking of trying out for Jojo. I'm too young for Mayzie
Sarastro: As long as your Aunt Ruby is Sour Kangaroo, I'm sure you'll do just fine.
Rose Quartz: What time is it?

Ronald Knox: *checks his pocket watch* About a quarter to 10.

Rose Quartz: Oh good. The "night" starts at 11am. We've just enough time to watch the first act of Cross Academy's Seussical.
(A little while later, Rose Quartz looks at the clock; 10:59. Luckily the first act of the show they're watching just ended. She switches to the television where at the park everything's set up. She looks at the boys next to her; Tennessee's jaw had dropped open in surprise, Ronald Knox is blushing as red as a rose, and Sarastro is trying really hard not to swoon.)

Rose Quartz: *smugly* Well? Oh, we're just in time. *the clock chimes 11am in the morning and a spotlight shines on four Andrews Sisters-esque ladies. They hum their starting notes blending in harmony as Mitsuki D. Yumi plays her guitar and Mokona plays the accordion as their accompaniment*
All 4: There lived a man so long ago his memories but faint, was not admired--
Garnet Andromeda: --did not inspire--
All 4: --like president or saint. But people came from far and near with their afflicted pets. For a special cure--
Sapphire: --they knew for sure--
All 4: --wouldn't come from other vets. Whoah-oh! *point out the vet himself (King Firemoon)*
Firemoon: *to the first patient (Florence Awdry) and her pet (Azura, Maru's Piplup plush)* This is a song for your poor sick penguin. He's got a fever, and his toes are blue. But if I sing to your poor sick penguin, he will feel better in a day or two. Yodel leh-hee yodel leh-hee yodel leh-hoo. Yodel leh-hee yodel leh-hee yodel-eee-oo. Yodel leh-hee yodel leh hee yodel leh hoo. Ya de ya de ya de ya de ya dee oo.
Tennessee: What's so funny about this?

Sarastro: *trying not to laugh* Just watch.
Miyuki Awdry: *handing "Penicillin" to her little sister* He's gone a little loopy in case you haven't heard. Here's a couple Penicillin for your sickly Arctic bird. *Florence hands her the "money", thanks her, scoops up her "pet" and brings it and the meds home*
All 4: *after they hum the new starting note modulating to G major* No skeptic could explain just how nor could one oft rebut the wondrous deeds that went on in that little Alpine hut.
Habanera+Alice Romanov: *as Garnet Andromeda and Sapphire go "Oooh, ooh" before rejoining them on "some just scratched their scalps"* Some would stand in silence while some just scratched their scalps for the curious ways of the yodeling veterinarian of the alps. *as Kirby pops up holding a sign that says, "A couple of weeks later..."* Whoah-oh!
Miyuki Awdry: *on the phone with Patient # 1 after hearing the news she turns to the king* Good news on the penguin, doc! He's up and kicking. *hangs up the phone just in time for the next patient, Marceline. Poor Reiko though, at least for this number*
Firemoon: *after Reiko mews desperately* This is a song for your pregnant kitty, she's looking nauseous and a week past due. But if I sing to your pregnant kitty, she will feel better in a day or two. Yodel leh-hee yodel leh-hee yodel leh-hoo. Yodel leh-hee yodel ye-dee ye-dee-oo. Yodel leh-hee yodel leh hee yodel aye ooo. Ya de ya de ya de yada ya-ga-doo. *Nothing again. Marceline slaps her forehead and groans but Miyuki Awdry takes her aside and hands her a grocery list singing--*

Miyuki Awdry: Jump in your car, drive into the city. Buy a jug of milk for your nauseated kitty. Trust me, it helps. *Marceline thanks her, hands her the "money" and mutters as she leaves with Reiko, "Reiko should act with us more often."*
All 4: *hum another modulated note*
Sapphire: *as the others go "Oooh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, for a raise in pay. Ooooh, ooooh, oooh scratched his scalp" and while Kirby holds a calendar and tears through the pages. On "until one fateful day" he stops on today; October 8th 2016.* The practice grew, their profits flew until one fateful day when the nurse who did assist the doc asked for a raise in pay. The doctor pondered this a while, sat back and scratched his scalp. Then said--*they turn to Firemoon who's heard saying--*
Firemoon: No way, José.
All 4: *turn back to the mic* --to the nurse of the yodeling veterinarian of the Alps. Oh no!
Miyuki Awdry: *on the phone with Patient # 2 after hearing the news she turns to the king* Good news on the kitty, doc! She's feeling great, six kittens. Named one after you. *hangs up the phone just in time for the last patient, Steven Universe. This time they have to help out a bear (Puppycat) who roars*
Firemoon: This is a song for your bear trapped teddy. He looks uncomfy, think I'd be too. But if I sing to your bear-trapped teddy, he will feel better in a day or too. Yodel leh-hee yodel leh-hee yodel leh-hoo. Yodel leh-hee o-layhee oly-ooo. Yodel leh-hee yodel leh hee yodel leh-hoo. Yodel leh-hee yaba daba yaba doo.
Puppycat: *roars angrily at hearing the bad yodeling*

Miyuki Awdry: *to Steven* Oh yeah, that'll work. He's good.
Firemoon: *noticing the bear trapped Puppycat looming over him in anger, trying desperately* Yodel leh-hee, yodel leh-hoo. No wait! THIS SHOULD WORK! Yodel leh-hee, yodel leh-hoo, yodel leh o hoo, Hoo! Yodel loo!
All 4: *burst out laughing at him before humming the starting note again* Now the moral of our story it's the point we hope we've made........
Steven+Marceline+Florence: *popping up beside them and making funny faces on "loopy"* When ya go a little loopy--
All 7: --better keep your nurse well paid.
Firemoon: *as Puppycat and Kirby chase after him* Yodel leh-hee, yodel leh-hoo. *bursting through the group and running past them as Puppycat makes to try and bite his butt while Kirby falls over on his backside and laughs* Yodel odle odle aye de aye de OH OH OH!
All 7: Whoa! Some would stand in silence while some just scratched their scalps for the curious ways of the yodeling veterinarian of the Alps!

Kirby: Bye! *waves to the audience with the group*

Firemoon: *after Mitsuki D. Yumi and Mokona finish their accompaniment* Yodel-loo! I'll get you guys for this! *the audience laughs and applauds as he chases after the group*
(At around 12:15pm, Sapphire bursts in, laughing herself silly and collapses on the couch between the boys holding her sides from laughing so hard.)
Sapphire: *sigh* My dad, a yodeling vet. Now I've seen everything. Cousin Sarastro, you're a genius for suggesting this idea. *notices a familiar scene; her as Mayzie at Palm Beach with Cat/José (Kaito)* Wait, are you guys watching—uh. TURN THAT OFF! *covering her blushing face in her hands* My costume was embarrassing.
Rose Quartz: I don’t know, Sapph. That’s not what Uncle Sarastro and the other gents think
Sapphire: *peeking out* Really, Rosie?
Sarastro: The costume? Is that why you don't want us to see those scenes? *Sapphire nods her head yes*
Papyrus: *standing in the doorway* Whatcha guys watching? Marie and Sanji are calling for you for lunch
Sapphire: I’ve got work to do. *reaches over the table to open her laptop*
Tennessee: Oh no you don’t! *grabs Sapphire’s wrist* Kid, you need a break.
Sapphire: ......*sigh* You’re right. I’m sorry, Tenn.
Tennessee: If you do want to get back to work though, at least let me have a proper peek at it
Sapphire: *pulling her wrist free* Forget it
Papyrus: Tell him, Sapph
Tennessee: Tell me what?
Sapphire: Nothing. Papyrus, where’s Kaito?
Papyrus: He had to help Count D with a customer after seeing to Rosie and Marie’s comedy routine rehearsal
Sapphire: I see. *sad sigh* I was so looking forward to spending time with him. *noticing a twinkle in Sarastro's eye* Why are you looking at me like that?
Sarastro: You said something about taking my cousin on my date, right Ronald?
Ronald Knox: Yeah. Wait, if you’re suggesting I take Sapph out, I’m all tied up. Alice wanted to go costume shopping for the both of us.
Sapphire: I could use some fresh air…hmmm. *she thoughtfully stands up only to have her hand gently grabbed by Tennessee*
Tennessee: Let's say you and me grab some sarsaparillas?
Sapphire: Why not? I need something else to drink instead of sake.
Tennessee: All right. Whoever stands up first loses.
Sapphire: Bring it on, partner.
Rose Quartz: Oooh, I wanna see that. Can i be the judge?
Sapphire: Well, I do need to spend some time with you. Okay, come along! *Rose Quartz cheers*
Papyrus: As much I’d love to hear you guys joke around, lunch!
Sapphire: Ah, yes. Thanks, Papyrus. Hmm..wait a minute. There's a costume festival going on after lunch. I got it. *hides for a bit and comes back dressed as Lum from Urusei Yatsura*
Rose Quartz: Are you participating?
Sapphire: No. Judging. Ruby was supposed to but since she has wedding plans to tend to, I volunteered to take over
Rose Quartz: Fair enough. No one holds a candle to the costume queen
Sapphire: *blushing* Aww, Rosie. *hugs Rose Quartz as she thanks her*
Sarastro: *jaw drops open at the costume his cousin's wearing* Oh no! Anything but that!
Sapphire: Sorry, cousin. Alphys won the bet. I have to wear it if I want her and Undyne in the show.
Sarastro: It’s not for the festival is it?
Sapphire: No, just for pictures for her. Papyrus, where’s Alphys?
Papyrus: In the kitchen, where we're all supposed to have lunch. Wait, you’re not going to cancel and go over lines for the present are you? Rosie really wanted to spend time with you.
Sapphire: No Papyrus. I'd never do that.
Papyrus: Then why—WHA??! *his jaw drops onto the floor in surprise to see Sapph's cosplay*
Alphys: Everything okay back there? *noticing the cosplay* DAAAAMN! I knew I made a good choice.
Sapphire: *blushing* A-Arigato. Um, Alphys just get this over with please. I’m getting weird stares, and I look funny in go go boots.
Sarastro: Look, I think you look fine in them. Besides, at least you don't look funny in a bathing suit.

Sapphire: True. *notices Ronald and Tennessee staring. She crosses her arms over her covered chest* *angry face* What are you staring at? Haven’t you ever seen a girl dressed like this before?
Rose Quartz: From the looks on their faces, I'd say only on their bedroom walls.
(The princess uses the couch pillows and the couch to try and at least show dignity and hide the scandalous cosplay while Alphys takes pictures.)
Alphys: Come on, where’s your confidence, Sapph?
Sapphire: Out the door because of stress
Alphys: You could handle other cosplays that bared your midriff
Sapphire: True, but this one feels a bit more…skimpy
(Sanji walks in about to call the gang for lunch. Noticing Sapphire holding some couch pillows over herself he looks at the gang confused. He makes to grab the couch pillows but Sapphire clings to them. She kicks him away only for the couch pillows to slip and fall off revealing the cosplay.) 
Sanji: *gasp* Sapphire swaaaaaaaannn! *a bit of blood drips from his nose as Alphys quickly snaps some pics of Sapphire in the cosplay as the blushing princess looks away. She then zaps Alphys and Sanji in her anger and then laughs at herself forgetting about the electric powers part of the character.*
Sapphire: *feeling much better* I did it okay? I’m gonna hurry up and change. *She rushes out of the living room and slams the door to her room to change. She then returns to the kitchen to chow down on lunch. calling over* Undyne, Alphys is hiding in here
Alphys: EEP! *tries to hide behind Sarastro and Tennessee only to be grabbed by the ear*
Undyne: Come on, Alphys. We’ve got rehearsing to do
Alphys: Awwww
Undyne: You guys didn't see anything, okay? *all nod in agreement, Rose Quartz, Papyrus, and Sarastro saluting her*
Sapphire: *from the kitchen as Undyne leaves with Alphys in tow* Okay, the Lum costume is even more embarrassing than the Mayzie LaBird one. *Tennessee comes over and apologizes for what happened earlier. She reciprocates the apology by apologizing that they had to see that*
Tennessee: Tell you what? Still on for sarsaparillas?
Sapphire: Anything to take my mind off of what just happened
Tennessee: Shhh....*Kaito had arrived in the kitchen*

Kaito: *notices the clearly embarrassed Sapphire* Did I miss something? Tenn, what'd ya do?

Tennessee: Wasn't me. Some Alphys took pictures of your little lady in something embarrassing. I can agree with her that that costume she was in was far more embarrassing than the bird one.
Kaito: Did it have tiger stripes and go go boots?

Tennessee: Why, do you know the character?

Kaito: I do. The character is Lum Invader. Yuko loves Urusei Yatsura especially that character.
Tennessee: Sapph also worked a little too hard so I asked her if we could do sarsaparillas—
Papyrus: *coming into the kitchen with Sarastro, Rose Quartz, and Sanji. as Marie hits Sanji on the head and visible head bumps are shown on Sanji's hurt head* —and Rosie agreed to be the judge in their contest. Better that than sake
Sapphire: Would you join us, Kaito? I’d feel a lot more safer with you around
Kaito: Sure thing. As long as I get to chug sarsaparillas too
Tennessee: Ha, didn’t know he liked the stuff
Sapphire: I took Kaito to a diner as thanks for helping me out when I was sick on our first meeting. I ordered some sarsaparilla and he’s been in love with the drink since. Whenever he wants a break from tea, sarsaparilla is his go to drink.
Sanji: (giggle) That’s adorable. Hope you folks are hungry. Marie and I made Sapph’s recipe; Florentine Alfredo
Sapphire+Rose Quartz: Mmm, divine.
Sarastro: Kaito?
Kaito: Hmm?
Tennessee: You and Sapph certainly played off each other during the show.
Kaito: *slight blush* Our relationship was budding at the time. And don't ask about the "shaking the booty" bit. The director wanted me to do it.
Sanji: *hands Sapphire a plate* Here you are, Sapph. I'm sorry about earlier, didn't know the circumstances for it.
Sapphire: It's all right. Besides, it'll be the last time I'm wearing that cosplay. Because I look funny in go go boots.

Marie: At least you don't look funny in a bathing suit.
Sapphire: True dat. Hey, Papyrus, when’s the festival? And will Dad be there?
Papyrus: *Kaito notices a look of inspiration in Sapphire’s eye as he says—* It should be pretty soon. The last I heard, the king himself will be one of the judges, why? *notices the look of inspiration in her eyes* Um, guys. The princess is looking weird. Should I be worried?
Kaito: I wouldn't worry too much. Some of us know her a little too well. *winks at Sapphire who smiles*
