The Mad Catter's domicile. Just after midnight. Almost everyone's there. The room is filled with streamers and signs that say "Happy Birthday Mad Catter". A large cake and buffet are in one end of the main room. A crowd has gathered around Stephen.

Stephen Meeker: Watch closely when I start this Slinky.

Clix: Ooohh! Look at all the Slinkies bouncing around!

Cal: It's mesmerizing.

Wight: That's the best talent yet. You'll win hands down.

Melody Green: When's the Mad Catter going to get here? I'm hungry.

Griller: I don't know. Trancer was supposed to bring him by a few minutes ago.

Bello: This is a great idea Samantha! He'd never suspect a midnight surprise party.

Samantha McCullah: Thanks Bello. Nice to have you back Judge, Lady.

Tartan Terror: It's good to be back. I can't believe the number of backlogged cases I'll have to judge.

Lady Callisto: I've sure missed New Cirra. How's the Goddess?

Dingane: She's been her usual self -- although I think she's mellowing out.

Jennifer Hocker: Too bad Amanda and the rest of the SRT aren't here.

Sherry: I hope they get the Goddess' Slinky back.

Wesser: I hope they don't break the valuable equipment I leant them.

Tower: I'm glad my space station is safe far away from any accidental accidents.

Mad Catter (MC): ((Walking through the front door)) (...darn that Trancer! 'Meet me at 23:30' she said. Women!)

GC: ((Teleporting in)) Catter! Hey, what's everyone doing here?

Everyone: SURPRISE!

GC: ((Blank stare))

MC: ((Blank stare))

Everyone: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

GC: (What a bunch of pissants. It's not my birthday.)

MC: Oh gee. Thanks guys. I'm so... ((sniffle))... this is wonderful. And even the Goddess is here! This is great.

GC: (Oh) Err, happy birthday Mr. Catter.
