Hal: (offscreen) A one, a two, a one, two, three, four!
Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Mini Gwendolyn: (offscreen) Huh?
Hal: (offscreen) Okay, let me try that again. A one, a two, a one, two, three, four!
(The song "Nature Cat's Superstars" starts up. It is sung to the tune of Para Pam from Pororo the Little Penguin.)
(Cut to a backyard space where Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin were enjoying their musical practice.)
Mini Nature Cat: (spoken) Hey!
(Daisy is on the electric guitar, Nature Cat is on bass guitar, Squeeks is playing a triangle, Hal is on the drumset, the adult Gwendolyn is playing the keyboard, Mini Nature Cat is the lead singer, and Marvin is on the maracas.)
Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin: (singing) Everyone now, everyone do the groove
Let's groove and have fun, let's groove and have fun
Everybody do the groove! Let's all do the groove!
It is time for a new dance.
Daisy: (voiceover, singing) Here comes Nature Cat and all his friends, they're Nature Cat's Superstars!
Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Marvin, and One Eared Winnie (a.k.a. Gwendolyn): (voiceover, singing) Everyday they're working hard along with having fun
Squeeks: (voiceover, singing) Turn that frown upside down and be happy like us
Hal: (spoken) Now, come join us!
Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Hal, and Marvin: (spoken) Let's dance (Hey!)
Marvin, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, and Gwendolyn: (singing, voiceover) Everyone now, everyone do the groove
Let's groove and have fun, let's groove and have fun
Everybody do the groove! Let's all do the groove!
It is time for a new dance.

Daisy: (spoken) Let's dance and be happy, with the bad things thrown out of the door!

Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin: (singing) Everyone now, everyone do the groove
Let's groove and have fun
Hal: (spoken) Everybody groove!
Gwendolyn: (spoken) Let's all do the groove!
Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin: (spoken) It is time for a new dance with the All-Stars!
Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin: (singing, voiceover) Everyone now, everyone do the groove
Let's groove and have fun, let's groove and have fun
Everybody do the groove! Let's all do the groove!
It is time for a new dance.
(Song ends.)
Hal, Nature Cat, Marvin, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, and One Eared Winnie (a.k.a. Gwendolyn): (cheering and high fving each other)
Daisy: That practice was worth it.
(They clean up their instruments. As they finish cleaning up, they all share more high-fives and congratulations, already looking forward to their next performance.)
Nature Cat: (to the viewers) Hello there, viewers. My name is Fred the house cat, also known as Nature Cat! I'm just about to-
Hal: (stopping Nature Cat) Nature Cat. We can't slack off any longer.
(Nature Cat, Squeeks, Marvin, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, and One Eared Winnie (a.k.a. Gwendolyn) gather near Hal.)
Hal: No more messing around because there's going to be this kind of music battle, which will happen tomorrow. We gotta leave early, and I mean early.
Squeeks: Already packed up!
Daisy: Me too.
Nature Cat: (to the viewers) Did you hear that? I'm gonna compete in a music contest with my friends!
Squeeks: I hope we win.
Gwendolyn: (playing her keyboard) Oh, yeah? Well, what if we ace that drum or guitar solo a little more before our showtime?
(She puts her keyboard into a wagon with all of the other instruments that belong to the Band.)
Hal: Uh....
Squeeks and Hal: Well-
Gwendolyn: You fellas don't need to worry about the Nature Cat Band's equipment. I have a special place for that.
The others (except for Gwendolyn and Nature Cat): Really?!
Gwendolyn: Sure. Follow me.
(Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin wonder where they're going with their instruments in the wagon, which Daisy pulls. They all take a special pirate ship that Gwendolyn made.)
Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Marvin, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, and Gwendolyn: Wow! (they exclaim in amazement as they walk through the ship)
Hal: Gwendolyn, you're a great helper.
Gwendolyn: You fellas don't need to worry, like I just said. The Stadium Express is a faraway place. (she shows the others a picture of what the plaza looks like) It's gonna take a while.
Hal: Ha, it's worth the wait. (bragging) Our place to go for the battle is the big city.
(Marvin, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, and Hal ran to their seats in excitement as Gwendolyn went to put the destination in her GPS tracker on the ship.)
Squeeks: I can't believe it, we're gonna sing!
(The seatbelts come on and strap in Marvin, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, and Hal, causing them to suddenly gasp.)
Gwendolyn: Ok, is everyone ready?
Nature Cat, Marvin, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, and Hal: (cheer) Ready!
(Gwendolyn presses a button on the ship.)
(The ship moves through the water as the wind blows the sail. It suddenly gains wheels in the water and drives itself onto the land. It flies off a ramp into the sky before landing on a highway and zooms past the screen. The title "A Popstar Adventure With Nature Cat: The Sequel" suddenly appears on the screen.)
(After a while, a news broadcast comes on. A band's logo appears.)
Katie: (voice-over) We interrupt your programming to bring you this special message. Music bands from all over the Nature Cat universe have come to show off talent and skill. Where can you see it?
(Zoom out to show the Music Battle Arena, located at the Stadium Express.)
Katie: (voice-over) Find it all at the Music Battle Arena, located at the Stadium Express. It is a big music battle with bands competing for the win.
Buster: (voice-over) We'll be witnessing the best of the best perform on the biggest stage.
(Earth is shown. Katie is a female two legged opossum and next to her is a charismatic two legged deer, who introduces himself as Buster.)
Buster: (to the watcher) Who knows what surprises will be there? You'll have to see it all at the Music Battle Arena, located at the Stadium Express.
(As he says "it all at the Music Battle Arena, located at the Stadium Express.", he and Katie smile proudly.)
Buster: (to the watcher) I'm Buster!
Katie: (to the viewers) And, I'm Katie! Be at the Music Battle Arena, located at the Stadium Express to witness some history. History awaits big music bands at the Music Battle Arena, located at the Stadium Express.
Buster: (to the watcher) Only one band will be crowned Champion. Katie and I will be signing off.
(They then leave the scene and static interrupts the background as the Battle Of Animal Music Bands logo appears and the scene immediately switches to a car that belongs to a female two legged red fox, nicknamed Emily.)
Emily: (talking to her phone) Man oh man, the contest is tomorrow. I won't be ready in time.
(She yawns and fell to sleep in her self moving car.)
Part 2: The Breakdown Ship![]
(Meanwhile, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin are enjoying the drive in the pirate ship.)
Gwendolyn: I made the pirate ship into a land vehicle. We should be okay now.
(However, the pirate ship stops working halfway through the drive.)
Daisy: On second thought, we need a faster way there.
(The ship suddenly drifts off of a road as it's passengers scream in fear. It then stops in a sandy desert area as it's passengers heavily breathe.)
Squeeks: Wait, why did we stop?
Marvin: Uh oh. (points at something) Look, guys.
(The group looks out the ship to see that they're in the big city, as proven by its welcome sign.)
Squeeks: Yeah! (takes off her seatbelt and cheers a little) We're finally in the big city!
(The others gasp in amazement at what Squeeks just said and they also take off their seatbelts before they all run outside, while Daisy has to pull the wagon with the instruments again. They stop walking when they notice that the welcome sign doesn't talk. It appeared out of nowhere in a dust cloud that the pirate ship caused when it drifted off of a road minutes ago. Hal realizes that something is not right.)
Hal: Oh, it's just a welcome sign, not the real city.
(The others sigh in defeat.)
Marvin: So, where exactly is the real Music Battle Arena, located at the Stadium Express Plaza?
(Daisy, distraught, takes out her phone and puts on a GPS tracker, which she shows the others.)
Hal: What are we gonna do now?
Daisy: (showing the tracker to the rest) Uh... (the GPS tracker shows them where the Music Battle Arena is) We'll be taking three minutes to get to the Music Battle Arena, located at the Stadium Express. We'll get there in no time and we'll win this contest.
(The others cheer at their successful finding.)
Nature Cat: Thanks, Daisy.
(As they prepare to enter the pirate ship again, the pirate ship suddenly breaks down again and tips over to one side behind them, shocking them. They have to remain outside.)
(The sail falls off the ship, causing a dust cloud. The group is once again shocked.)
Marvin: Well, that flopped us.
Gwendolyn: Sorry, guys. I used that pirate ship too many times, didn't I?
Daisy: (checking her GPS tracker) And our time to reach our destination will be... (shocked) 12 hours?!
Nature Cat, Squeeks, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin: (petrified) 12 HOURS!?! WHAT?!
Marvin: How are we gonna get to the arena in 12 hours? Where exactly does this big city come from?
Gwendolyn: (worried) I have never ever had a problem with my pirate ship, but now it ends up looking like this mess. We won't be performing in that music battle now.
Hal: (to Daisy) But Daisy, the contest starts tomorrow. We will miss it if we get there in 12 hours!
Squeeks: Why don't we all just try to walk to the arena really fast?
Hal: You want us to walk there?
Squeeks: (baffled) Yes?
Daisy: I just hope we will make it in time. (her GPS tracker soon runs out of battery) How can we get there now? (she puts her phone away)
Marvin: I hope we don't fall asleep on the way there.
Nature Cat: (looking around) It's gonna be a long walk to the real stadium, I just know it.
(Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin sigh. They haul their musical instrument equipment in a wagon with them as they walk through the sandy dunes as the sky sunsets, with nowhere else to stop or get water.)
Squeeks: Hal, how far are we now?
Hal: So far, we're almost to the halfway point. We've been walking for miles or even hours now.
Daisy: We are gonna collapse even before we make it to the contest. (Marvin sighs in defeat) I just hope something will refresh us in time before tomorrow.
(They continue on slowly, until Mini Nature Cat suddenly sees something.)
Part 3: Pizza![]
Mini Nature Cat: Hey! Look! I see a rest stop. (the others gather near Mini Nature Cat and they also see the rest stop) It looks like a pizza shop!
Hal: I knew it! We finally found a spot to rest up on. Let's go in!
(They have a big break when they stop in the pizza shop and feed on some pizzas.)
(Hal looks around and sees that there are other diners enjoying their pizzas in the pizza shop, including a cat family of three.)
Marvin: Oh, uh, guys, are we still able to get to the contest in time before we miss it?
Daisy: Phew! So much walking. (to Marvin) But I still don't know about the contest, Marvin. We still have a long way to go and we don't know who to trust so that we can go there.
(The group sighs in defeat again.)
(Nature Cat looks out the window.)
Nature Cat: (facing the viewer) It's so dark out, kids. (notices something) Wait, what is that thing over there?
(The others join Nature Cat and gasp.)
(As such, they look out of the window to see a bus stop that will take them to the Music Battle Arena in the big city.)
Hal: (reading the sign from the window) Music Battle Arena?
Marvin: That's the bus that will take us to Music Battle Arena.
Hal: I knew it! (chomps on a pizza) Let's finish our food and head over to the bus stop.
Part 3: More News About The "Battle Of Animal Music Bands"[]
(Daisy drinks from Hal's drink and the latter drinks from Daisy's, causing a small fight between the two.)
(However, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin turn their attention to a TV screen, which explains some more news about the upcoming "Battle Of Animal Music Bands" at the Stadium Express.)
Buster: (in TV screen) Buster and Katie here at the Music Battle Arena, located at the Stadium Express. We have a very special participant that will join us for this year's "Battle Of Animal Music Bands" at the Stadium Express, Katie.
Katie: (in TV screen, to the viewers) Yes! And, we're about to welcome a two-legged raccoon named Boris, and he has three bandmates that consist of 2 female dogs and 1 female two-legged fox.
Boris: (in TV screen, singing) Going to sing my song for you.
(Some of the pizza diners watching the footage gasp in awe and amazement.)
Boris: (in TV screen, singing) And I know they'll want to hear it!
Emily: (pouting in fear) This isn't fair that the contest is tomorrow.
(Cut to Mini Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Nature Cat, Marvin, Hal, and Gwendolyn, who are still at their pizza table.)
Hal: (amazed) He can sing!
Daisy: (proudly) He can dance!
Squeeks: (discouraged) But because of his singing, we will not even have a chance.
Hal: What she said! Oh, wait, we could have fun doing our own singing and dancing just like what we did at home.
Mini Nature Cat: (to the others) Hey! Look! I see a perfect way that we can do this.
Gwendolyn: Huh?
Nature Cat: Mini Nature Cat believes that we can try to perform in here.
Squeeks: Right here? Why?
Mini Nature Cat: Yeah, it's gonna be fine. (holds up his microphone) If we can try to perform here and spruce up the place a bit, then the diners in this pizza shop can lend some support to us when we enter the contest ourselves. (he gets up from his seat as his friends stare in confusion) It's gonna be a tough contest, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Gwendolyn, and Marvin. So, let's go!
(He runs off to the stage. Daisy is a little confused. Then, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Gwendolyn, and Marvin stand up.)
Daisy: So, we have to practice a little more before we can take on the ultimate challenge.
(Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Gwendolyn, and Marvin suddenly follow Mini Nature Cat with their instruments in hand. On the pizza shop's stage, Daisy is on the electric guitar, Nature Cat is on bass guitar, Squeeks is playing a triangle, Hal is on the drumset, the adult Gwendolyn is playing the keyboard, Mini Nature Cat is the lead singer, and Marvin is on the maracas again.)
Nature Cat: (to the diners) Hi everyone.
(The pizza shop diners overhear Nature Cat and they turn to look at Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin.)
Nature Cat: (to the pizza diners) We are the Nature Cat Band, and uh, we're going to play something for you.
Hal: It's for the "Battle Of Animal Music Bands" at the Stadium Express, and we are competing in it. (the diners are confused at first, but soon agree to it) So, I hope you guys like our song because we want you to listen to it.
(Again, the "Nature Cat's Superstars" song starts up again.)
Mini Nature Cat: (spoken) Hey!
Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin: (singing) Everyone now, everyone do the groove
Let's groove and have fun, let's groove and have fun
Everybody do the groove! Let's all do the groove!
It is time for a new dance.
Daisy: (voiceover, singing) Here comes Nature Cat and all his friends, they're Nature Cat's Superstars!
Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Marvin, and One Eared Winnie (a.k.a. Gwendolyn): (voiceover, singing) Everyday they're working hard along with having fun
Squeeks: (voiceover, singing) Turn that frown upside down and be happy like us
Hal: (singing) Now, come join us!
Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Hal, and Marvin: (spoken) Let's dance (Hey!)
Marvin, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, and Gwendolyn: (singing, voiceover) Everyone now, everyone do the groove
Let's groove and have fun, let's groove and have fun
Everybody do the groove! Let's all do the groove!
It is time for a new dance.
Marvin: (spoken) If things are sad, things are hard, things are tough, forget them all.
Daisy: (spoken) Let's dance and be happy, with the bad things thrown out of the door!
Mini Nature Cat: (spoken) Hey!
Marvin, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, and Gwendolyn: (singing, voiceover) Everyone now, everyone do the groove
Let's groove and have fun, let's groove and have fun
Everybody do the groove! Let's all do the groove!
It is time for a new dance.
Mini Nature Cat: (singing) Here comes Nature Cat and all his friends, they like their fun! Everyone likes having them around and doing the dance
Daisy: (singing) Turn that frown upside down and be happy like us!
Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin: (singing, voiceover) Playing together,
Marvin, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, and Gwendolyn: (spoken) Let's play!
Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin: (singing) Everyone now, everyone do the groove
Let's groove and have fun
Hal: (spoken) Everybody groove! (points at Gwendolyn)
Gwendolyn: (spoken) Let's all do the groove! (she points at Squeeks and Nature Cat)
Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin: (spoken) It is time for a new dance with the All-Stars!
Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin: (singing, voiceover) Everyone now, everyone do the groove
Let's groove and have fun, let's groove and have fun
Everybody do the groove! Let's all do the groove!
It is time for a new dance.
(The animals (including the pizza diners) dance together during the last instrumental break. The song then ends.)
(The pizza diners (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne) happily cheered for Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal.)
Hal: Thank you! (he takes a bow) Thank you, please, you're too kind.
(Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal take a bow as the pizza diners continue to cheer them on. They then high five and laugh as the cheering continues.)
Pizza Diner #1: (voiced by Emily Lynne) These guys sound really good!
Pizza Diner #2: (voiced by Taran Killam) I agree, they sound really great.
(Meanwhile, the band is still busy taking in the applause from the pizza diners when they hear a horn sound.)
Hal: Huh? The bus is leaving now?!
Nature Cat: No worries. The bus won't leave us here!
(Hal gathers everything into the wagon, and then, he, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin run out of the shop and over to the bus stop with their equipment before the bus leaves without them. As the pizza diners waved goodbye to them and continued to eat their pizza and drinks and other foods, Emily was sitting at a nearby table, but she was worried about entering the upcoming contest.)
Emily: Oh, I'm having trouble now! The contest is the next day. I'm ruined, I don't have a band to look after!
(She drops her head to the table.)
Emily: (muffled) I overheard of the mock performance, but I didn't get to watch it, as I was too afraid to know who the performers were.
(A little baby cat named Marlin (voiced by Taran Killam), a male daddy brown cat named Lee (also voiced by Taran Killam), and a mom cat named Ellen (voiced by Kate Micucci) were passing by before they leave to go home.)
Lee: (holding Marlin happily) Oh wow! That Nature Cat Band that we just saw on the stage was really fun!
Ellen: Right. I'd say that the music we have just heard from the band was "Supreme!".
(Emily suddenly lifted up her head upon seeing the three cats exiting the pizza shop and overhearing what they said.)
Emily: Nature Cat Band? (facing the viewer) Did they just say Nature Cat Band?
Part 4: Missing The Bus[]
(As Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal approach the bus stop while they scream in horror, they made it out to the bus stop too late: the bus leaves them and drives away from the bus stop.)
Hal: (surprised) Oh great, we missed the bus!
Daisy: (looking at the bus schedule) Well, is there an extra bus on this list that we can catch? (the bus schedule suddenly beeps) Huh?
(She looks up at the bus stop's bus schedule.)
Daisy: (gasps)
(As such, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal become sad when the bus schedule is already finished, before it turns black, leaving the group stranded at the bus stop.)
Marvin: That was the last bus.
Nature Cat: (he gulps) We can’t hold on like this!
Hal: Does that mean, (worried) we are gonna have to walk to the arena all night?
Squeeks: I can't walk anymore.
(Mini Nature Cat sighs in defeat and sits down on a bench.)
Mini Nature Cat: No fair.
(As such, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal sigh in defeat again.)
(In the distance, Emily drives her car over to Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin and eagerly greets them at the blackened bus stop.)
Emily: (overexcited) The Nature Cat Band! Hello, Nature Cat Band. You guys did great in the pizza shop.
(This suddenly confuses Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin.)
Gwendolyn: No need to worry about us, but, uh, thanks.
Squeeks: (pushing Marvin aside) Hey, Mrs. Emily. Can you please take us to the Music Battle Arena in your car as a ride?
Emily: (to Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin) Sure, of course I can! I love interacting with friends that I don't know about. Oh, by the way, do you guys need a manager to assist you?
Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin: Huh?
Hal: (puzzled) What do managers do?
Daisy: (to Emily) What are managers used for, Emily?
Emily: I used to work as a music manager. So, in order for the music artists to focus on their creativity, I am the one who takes care of things for bands like their mental care, expenses, organizing events, greeting fans, and helping bands write songs.
Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin: Huh?
Emily: I also helped them with schedules, styling them, social media, marketing, public relations, skip care, and even a whole bunch of other things that I don't want to mention.
Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin: Huh?
Emily: (reassuring) You guys asked me for a ride, so I'll feed you guys some food while we are out on the road.
(Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin gasp in awe.)
Daisy: Wow, thank you, Emily!
(Hal and Marvin jump up and down and cheer as they do so.)
Marvin: It would be good if we got to ever work with a manager to win the contest.
Hal: Yay! A manager that will manage our events and even our own schedules!
Emily: (scanning the band's wagon with their instruments still inside of the wagon) Well then, why don't you fellas allow me to become your official manager for the contest so that you guys can compete against the other bands?
Nature Cat: (to Gwendoyn) Yeah! Emily's gonna be a great manager!
Emily: Ha! I got Gwendolyn and Nature Cat on my side. (to the other animals (except for Nature Cat and Gwendoyn)) What do you guys say?
Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, and Marvin: (cheering)
(As such, Gwendolyn and Nature Cat also cheer along with Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, and Marvin. Emily smiles at them.)
Emily: Ha ha, that's a good move! Well, then, from now on, I will officially be your manager.
(Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin cheer even louder.)
Hal: I don't believe it, we actually will have Emily as our manager!
(Emily laughs a bit as Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin cheered more. The Nature Cat Band gets comfy in Emily's car while Emily gets their wagon with their instruments still inside. She then puts the wagon into a special space and closes the space before she starts up the car and drove away.)
Part 5: Emily's Thankful For The Band[]
(Now Emily's car is driving down the road at night. But Emily doesn't move the car: the car moves by itself.)
(Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin gasp in awe as they enjoy the ride with Emily in the car.)
Squeeks: (to Emily) You know, Mrs. Manager Emily, we're lucky, and I mean, very lucky, to ever have you as our official manager.
Emily: You don't have to call me Manager Emily, just call me Emily, all right? But, I'm actually feeling lucky that I have actually found you guys on the bus stop's blackened area at just the right time.
Hal: Why?
Nature Cat: But we were just performing for the pizza diners.
(Emily shows the group a diagram of the pizza shop, causing Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin to see it and they all gasp again.)
Emily: Okay. So then, where did you guys learn to sing?
Daisy: Have you heard of Nature Cat's television series? We have episodes on the show where we sang about the nature around us, and we even sang a few songs addressing issues of nature.
(Nature Cat nods in agreement as she speaks.)
Nature Cat: I love to sing!
Emily: No way! So that was the reason why I overheard Ellen the mom cat, Lee the dad cat, and Marlin the baby cat talking about you guys in the pizza shop after you guys put on a performance for the pizza diners! And I gotta say, the pizza diners really loved it. (to Nature Cat and Squeeks) You guys are talented at how you do your singing. (gloating) But, as you know, this year's "Battle Of Animal Music Bands" at the Stadium Express is on a totally different level for new competing bands, like no other music contest you were in before.
Hal: Will there be other music bands, and will they be better than us?
Marvin: Yeah. I can't wait to see what they look like.
Emily: Yes. Well, of course. The contest gathers various bands from all over the Nature Cat universe, and they will be battling it out there too.
Daisy: (worried) But Emily, do you think we are going to do well tomorrow?
(Emily laughs.)
Emily: Well, of course. From now on, all of you will get your own experts. If you do everything that I say, the first prize can be yours.
(The others exclaim in amazement, but Nature Cat stays quiet and begins to ponder the challenge ahead.)
Squeeks: Of course.
Nature Cat: Hmm....
Emily: But, you guys do need a little more shaping up before tomorrow.
(The others just laugh it off but Squeeks, Nature Cat, and Mini Nature Cat stay quiet.)
Emily: Okay, Nature Cat Band, let's give it our best shot.
(As such, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin cheer once more before they begin to laugh a bit, with Emily smiling at the band.)
(As it gets darker out, the animals and Emily's car stop in a nearby campsite.)
Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin: Wow. (they look at the tents)
(Emily suddenly stops the car outside of her house: an RV.)
Emily: (to Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin) Okay, we are finally here.
(The group gets out of the car and enjoy the sights and sounds in Emily's RV while Emily gets out their wagon with their instruments and drags it into the house.)
Emily: Make yourself at home. I will keep you guys here for the entire contest.
(As such, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin cheer yet again and run off to enjoy the house.)
Hal: (appearing on the top bunk bed) Hey, I got the top bunk. It is where I should sleep!
(Squeeks cheers and laughs as she jumps around on the couch for a bit before getting off of the couch.)
Daisy: We also got our own stage, so we can practice right here just like what we just did at the pizza shop!
(Emily, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Squeeks, and Marvin are also on the empty stage with Daisy and begin to laugh.)
(Nature Cat is awed as he walks through the house.)
Nature Cat: Huh? (he notices a poster of Dog Gone on the floor) A Dog Gone poster? (he picks it up)
Emily: Okay Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin. Tomorrow is the first day of the big contest, so get some shut eye before then. You all need to rest up, not staying up.
Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin: Okay Emily. We will!
(Pan away from Emily's house as the next line is said.)
Emily: (voice-over) Okay. I will be turning off the light now.
Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin: (voice-over) Okay. Goodnight.
(The light in the house then turns off as everyone goes to sleep. Everyone starts to dream off about what's to come. The next day, they decide to go to check out the contest.)
Marvin: (voice-over) Everyone! Get ready! Hurry up! Come on!
(As he speaks, it is revealed that Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin are already refreshed and eager for the big contest. They are already outside Emily's house.)
Emily: Okay, okay. No need to rush me. I'll be out in just a minute!
Hal: Let's go guys! (he and the others run off, leaving Emily behind)
Emily: (pulling the wagon back into a shed in the house while the instruments clang in the wagon) Wait up, guys. We are all going there together!
(As Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin leave the campsite, they are all feasting on a sandwich.)
Hal: These foods look tasty!
Daisy: Yeah, it's like those pizzas that we ate back at the pizza shop!
Marvin: But it really is great to have a manager like Emily.
(He looks at Emily, who smiles at him.)
Emily: I'm thankful that you guys are eager to see the contest for yourselves. As for a manager like me, that's just one of the basic things that I do in my free time or spare time from work. (looks at a schedule for the contest on her phone) As such, today's the first round for the contest, so it means whoever wins will move on to the next round.
Part 6: Enter Boris[]
(A familiar musician passed by Emily, Hal, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin. They realize that it's Boris from the pizza shop's television and he has three special bandmates that consist of 2 female dogs and 1 female two-legged fox.)
Boris: (teasing Emily) Hey hey, it's Emily.
(Boris and his bandmates turn to Emily, and Emily takes a step back.)
Boris's band mates: What is Emily doing here with those unknown animals? They're not musicians like we are.
Boris: Why, of course. (he points rudely at Nature Cat, Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin) "They're not musicians like we are", said my band members.
Nature Cat: Um, this is our first time here.
Emily: (stopping Boris and his bandmates from bullying Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin) Hey, you leave new my friends alone, ya hear?
(Boris and his bandmates just laughed at her. Emily turns away from them.)
Emily: (to Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin) He's my rival. Don't trust him.
Squeeks: Why is he your rival?
Emily: Well, Boris and I- (suddenly stops speaking)
(Hal looks to Emily, worried. Emily sighs in defeat.)
Emily: We both worked as music managers for various bands, and Boris made more income money than I did, so that was why I quit my job as a music manager for a while. Now we should get going before Boris bullies us again. Okay. (grabbing the others) Hurry!
(Boris and his bandmates see them leave and start to laugh and tease them as they leave.)
Boris: Good luck! You're gonna need it.
Part 7: We're Here![]
(Nature Cat, Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin stop at the entrance of the Music Battle Arena, and are wowed at how big the building is.)
Mini Nature Cat: (meows with joy)
Daisy: Oh, look! It's that stadium we saw before on that billboard. It's the Music Battle Arena!
Hal: This is a big building!
Squeeks: It's as big as that pizza shop sign we saw earlier.
Emily: (calling out to the others) There's no time to be staring at the building's entrance! The contest begins soon, and we don't want to miss the first round. Come on!
(Nature Cat, Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin overheard Emily's voice and they gasp. They run and follow Emily. They enter the building.)
(Inside the building, a stage is set up before a massive cheering crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne) of animals of different sizes, colors, and shapes, all of whom are holding a glow stick with a happy face on it. Nature Cat, Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin run inside, with Emily following.)
Hal: Guys, we made it! We are finally here.
Marvin: Woah.
(The animal crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne) cheers more. Nature Cat, Emily, Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin stop and look around at the place.)
Hal: I'm confused. What's with those happy face sticks and what are they used for?
Daisy: Oh, I don't know.
Hal: Is it because the crowd's happy to be here?
Nature Cat: (excited) Wow, are we gonna be singing here?
Squeeks: I cannot wait to perform here!
(Suddenly, the light goes dark and everybody goes quiet, wondering what will happen next. And then, a spotlight shines down on the stage, illuminating a figure standing at the microphone. It's the main host, Buster, and he's grinning from ear to ear. The crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne) erupts into cheers as another host, the female opossum named Katie, took to the stage.)
(Cut to Nature Cat, Emily, Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin, who are still standing in the back of the crowd.)
Hal: (to the others) It's about to begin. I am so excited!
(Nature Cat, Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin run to the front of the cheering crowd of animals, with Emily following. A bunch of spotlights move around the stadium, making the audience more excited.)
Buster: (into a microphone) Greetings, music band fans. Welcome to this year's Battle Of Animal Music Bands at the Stadium Express. (to the watcher) We will be the main hosts for this year's contest. I'm Buster!
Katie: (to the viewers) And, I'm Katie! Now, I hope everybody is ready for the contest to begin.
Buster: Because it's the Battle Of Animal Music Bands at the Stadium Express, like I just said!
Katie and Buster: Here we go!
(The animal crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne) erupts into cheers again.)
(As such, Nature Cat, Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin cheer happily along with the crowd, while Emily smiles. The cheering of the crowd then stops.)
Buster: Music bands from all over the Nature Cat universe have come to the contest to show off their unique talent and skill. (some of the competing bands are shown on the screen behind Katie and Buster, some of which include Dog Gone, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin) Because it's the Battle Of Animal Music Bands at the Stadium Express, like I just said! And it will start today.
Katie: (popping up from the left side of the screen) Which band will be the final winner?
Buster: (popping up from the right side of the screen) Which band will have the best song to please the crowds? As such, there's gonna be multiple bands in this contest which will compete for the very best song.
Katie and Buster: And now, show us the contestants!
(The screen suddenly rotates as the crowd quietly watches. Nature Cat, Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin gulp in fear while Emily still smiles.)
(A tournament bracket, which splits up each band that will go against each other, then appears on the screen.)
Buster: Yes! Now we have a tournament bracket, which will split up each band that will go against each other in each of these rounds, but the audience will need to vote for the best music band that will win the Battle Of Animal Music Bands after they compete in various rounds and win them.
Katie: It's time for the first round to begin, folks. So now, we have a tournament bracket for the first round of today's contest.
(In the audience, Emily scans the screen.)
Emily: Hmm... The musical band with more votes will move on to the next round. (she suddenly sees something) Hey, there they are.
(She sees Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin on the screen, but realizes that they will not perform today and will perform tomorrow.)
Emily: (to Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin) It looks like we will have to perform on the stage tomorrow.
(They continue watching.)
Buster: It is the first round for today's contest in the Battle Of Animal Music Bands.
Katie: Who will be the first two teams to get up here and perform to be in the next round?
(Cut to Squeeks and Nature Cat in the audience.)
Nature Cat: I sure hope we don't get to be the first band to sing onstage in front of a large crowd like this one.
Squeeks: I agree.
(As such, Boris and his bandmates (as the Harmony Heroes) will go up against the band 'Electric Storm'. The animal crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne) cheers again.)
Buster: Ladies and gentlemen animals, the first matchup of the contest is: the band 'Electric Storm' and their opponents, the band 'Harmony Heroes'.
(Again, Nature Cat, Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin cheer along with the crowd, while Emily gets jealous of Boris again.)
Katie: So up first, we have Boris and his three bandmates (as the Harmony Heroes), so please welcome, Boris and his three bandmates (as the Harmony Heroes)!
Katie and Buster: Here we go! (they left the stage)
(Boris and his three bandmates (as the Harmony Heroes) take to the stage.)
Boris: (singing) Going to sing my song for you.
And I know they'll want to hear it!
You want to hear it.
(Yeah, you need to hear it.)
It will be the most special song.
And I know they'll want to hear it!
Boris and his three bandmates (as the Harmony Heroes): (singing) We're the Harmony Heroes, and we cannot be beat. We're the Harmony Heroes, and we cannot be beat. We're the Harmony Heroes, and we cannot be beat. We're the Harmony Heroes, and we cannot be beat.
Boris: (singing) Everyone wants to sing their own song. With the Harmony Heroes, you won't be alone. And the Harmony Heroes thrive, and we cannot be getting beat. We'll win this music contest!
Boris and his three bandmates (as the Harmony Heroes): (singing) We're the Harmony Heroes, and we cannot be beat.
(They end their song and the crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne) cheers for them. Again, Nature Cat, Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin cheer along with the crowd, while Emily stands there, shocked.)
(As Boris and his three bandmates left the stage, Katie and Buster take to the stage.)
Buster: Wow. (the crowd stops cheering) It's gonna be tough to beat Boris and his three bandmates, because their song even said that.
Katie: It was very short, but the crowd loved it. Who's next?
Buster: The unstoppable electric rock band trio!
Katie and Buster: (excited) The rock band Electric Storm.
(The rock band Electric Storm takes to the stage as Buster and Katie say their name. Buster and Katie left the stage.)
(As such, the rock band Electric Storm performs their song. In the audience, Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin were enjoying the performance with the rest of the crowd. Emily shook her head in disbelief.)
Marvin: The Harmony Heroes were awesome!
Squeeks: Yeah. (worried) Katie and Buster warned the crowd that they will be a tough band to beat.
Emily: Don't be a fan of them, Squeeks and Marvin. Looks can be deceiving.
Daisy: Oh, I love rock music! I hope Electric Storm wins the contest.
Emily: (to the others as they continue to watch and dance along) That's good, but we don't have time for this. (she leaves)
(Marvin notices that Emily is leaving the group. Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, & Nature Cat also notice Emily walking away from them.)
Nature Cat: What's wrong, Emily?
Marvin: (peeking out from behind Nature Cat) Do we really have to go now?
Emily: (to Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, & Nature Cat) Didn't you hear? We are gonna be performing on that stage tomorrow, while Boris will make it to the next round, and plus, we do not have enough time to slack off. Come on. We gotta practice before it is too late!
(Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin suddenly get discouraged and follow Emily out of the arena.)
Daisy: But I love the rock music from the Electric Storm band.
(As the animals walk away from the arena with Emily, they can still hear the music and cheering of the crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne) in the arena, and they can't help but feel a sense of anticipation for their own performance tomorrow. When the rock band Electric Storm finishes their song, the crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne) cheered for them.)
Part 8: Practice Makes Perfect[]
(Now Emily is back in her RV with Daisy on the electric guitar, Nature Cat is on bass guitar, Squeeks is playing a triangle, Hal is on the drumset, the adult Gwendolyn is playing the keyboard, Mini Nature Cat is the lead singer, and Marvin is on the maracas again. The band is playing so poorly because of Emily rushing them.)
Emily: Stop, stop, stop. (the band suddenly stops playing and they stare at her in confusion as she paces back and forth) It seems that your playing needs to improve. That performance at the pizza shop was just a "mock performance" that you showed the diners. We need something dazzling, something eye-catching, something that will bring attention to the audience for the contest.
Hal: Like what?
Marvin: Yeah. What should we do, Emily?
(Emily thinks for a moment until she finds the answer.)
Emily: Ooh! I know one!
(She drops her clipboard and runs over to Nature Cat, grabbing his bass guitar from him and sending him into a spin as the others watch. Nature Cat stops spinning. Emily, now wearing Nature Cat's bass guitar around her neck, skids to the front of the band. She strikes a few chords on the guitar as she speaks again.)
Emily: Let's rock. Or should I say, look carefully? (she gets up from the ground and continues playing) You gotta feel the music move you.
(Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin gasp at what Emily is doing with Nature Cat's bass guitar. Emily then uses Marvin's maracas and begins to shake them in her two hands.)
Emily: Add some extra beats to your musical performance. (she does a little dance with Marvin's maracas and slides them across her arms before doing other dances with Marvin's maracas) Here.
(Marvin recovers his maracas from Emily as Emily runs off again.)
(Emily is now wearing a Micheal Jackson like suit and hat on her head as she does his moonwalk dance.)
Emily: (takes out a flag) Wow the crowd, get them dancing and cheering. (she throws away the flag and goes over to the microphone stand and danced around with it again) There we go.
(She spun around with the microphone stand in her hand and took out the microphone before dropping the microphone stand to the floor, but catched it before it hit the floor. She spins the microphone stand again and laughs happily at what she is doing.)
Emily: Use the microphone stand for the grand finale of your performance. It's gonna "Wow the crowd!" like I just said. And at the end, the drummer is in.
(She motions for Hal to play the drums.)
Emily: Hit it, Hal!
Hal: Okay!
(He grabs his drumsticks and begins hitting his drumset with his drumsticks at a fast speed.)
Hal: (to the viewer) Tah-dee! (he winks at the viewer)
Emily: Hal, that's a good one.
(She faced Marvin, Daisy, Squeeks, Nature Cat, Mini Nature Cat, and Gwendolyn.)
Emily: Do you guys have something in store? Well then, I'll teach you the basics of wowing the crowd like I showed Hal.
Nature Cat: This is fun. I wanna learn it too.
Daisy: Oh yeah, oh yeah, practicing music, oh yeah.
(Marvin, Mini Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Gwendolyn cheer.)
Emily: (to Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, & Nature Cat) So, to be noticed among the best singers, you will need these skills to win the contest and impress the crowd for your performances.
Squeeks: Yay! I wanna learn this skill and be the best.
Daisy: I wanna try it too.
Gwendolyn, Marvin, & Nature Cat: Let's do it!
(Pan away from Emily's house as the next lines are said.)
Emily: (voice-over) Okay. The only way to get used to this is to practice, practice practice. Because, practice makes perfect. This means, we'll have more special training practices planned just for you and the audience.
(As such, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin cheered in agreement.)
Marvin: Yes! Special training!
Hal: Yipee!
(The sunset then turns to day in the city. It is now day 2 of the contest. A heavy rock band is performing in the stadium's contest.)
(The rock band finishes their heavy rock performance. As such, the animal crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne) watching the band is staring in shock and confusion, until they softly applauded from them. The rock band takes a bow to the audience as they hear the applause before they leave the stage.)
(Katie and Buster appear on the stage.)
Buster: Is it over now? Phew. It was a heavy hot hitter.
(As Buster says "It was a heavy hot hitter.", Katie breathes in and out.)
Katie: Yes. Everybody seemed to have been focused on wiping off their sweat and we forgot the clapping at the end of that performance.
Buster: Anyway, now that the heavy rock band is done, I will introduce the next band. (to Katie) Well, Katie. This new band won't be an exception, huh? Anyway, where does this mysterious band hail from? No matter the origin, they must be the opposing band to the heavy rock band.
Katie: Yes. Everybody seemed to focus on this mysterious band, but anyway, they're here because they wanna have fun.
Buster: Everyone, give a warm welcome to...
Katie and Buster: Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin!
(The picture of Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin appears on the screen as they leave the stage as they speak.)
(The crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne) cheered on Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin as they were elevated to the stage on a platform.)
Spectator (voiced by Kate Micucci): Yes! It's the Nature Cat Band!
Spectator #2 (voiced by Taran Killam): Sing for us, please! Sing for us!
Spectator #3 (voiced by Taran Killam): Don't be shy, sing a song for us!
Spectator #4 (voiced by Emily Lynne): (calling out) Do not lose to those other bands!
(On the stage, Daisy on the electric guitar, Nature Cat is on bass guitar, Squeeks is on the triangle, Hal is on the drumset, Gwendolyn is on the keyboard, Mini Nature Cat is the lead singer, and Marvin is on the maracas again. They're all taken aback by the sheer crowd they will perform for and don't know what to do.)
Nature Cat: (shocked) It looks like we finally made it to the Music Battle Arena's stage.
Marvin: This is a big crowd.
Squeeks: Yeah. I'm scared.
Hal: Me too! (he tried to hide under a drumstick that he put on his head)
(Daisy is front and center of the large band as the crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne) cheered on Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin again. Daisy puts on a smile and turns to face Nature Cat, Squeeks, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin as they hold their instruments. Hal peeks out from his drumstick.)
Daisy: (to Nature Cat, Squeeks, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin) Well guys, we don't need to be nervous. There's nothing to be afraid of.
Squeeks: (to Daisy) Yeah. Emily believes in us, because we practiced hard for her.
Daisy: (to Nature Cat, Squeeks, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin) So, let's try to make this crowd smile so that Emily can be proud of us when we finish the show, and after the show, we'll see if the crowd loved it. Understand?
Nature Cat, Squeeks, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin: (perking up) Okay!
Hal: It's like what we did at the pizza shop a few days ago, remember?
Daisy: Yeah! Let's make it feel that way!
(Nature Cat goes to the microphone as he and the others face the crowd and the viewer (including Mini Nature Cat.)
Part 9: A Performance Goes Wrong?[]
Nature Cat: (to the viewer) Tally-ho, friends. We are the Nature Cat Band. Who's ready for a little bit of nature fun!? Let us show you how it's done!
(As planned, Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin perform a new song called "A Happy Song." The song's instrumental intro starts up as they perform it on their respective instruments.)
Daisy: (singing) The Nature Cat Band, they're here to have some fun! Together, we'll dance and be happy friends! Shout it out loud, because it's party time! Now let's be one, come on, we'll sing with the Nature Cat Band.
Hal: (spoken) Everybody's dancing proud, and we're having the best time today!
Mini Nature Cat: (spoken) The Nature Cat Band, they're here to have some happy fun!
Nature Cat: (spoken) Tally-ho!
Gwendolyn: (spoken) The Nature Cat Band as friends who don't give up so we try!
Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin: (spoken) Then fun is all around us, everybody sing it LOUD!
Squeeks: (voiceover, singing) Let's go and soar up high, a future in the sky which is full of kind. That star that can shine!
Gwendolyn: (singing, voiceover) So everyone is happy to a joyful tune!
Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin: (spoken) So it's time....
(They face the viewer.)
Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin: (spoken) Let's sing and shout! Nature Cat Band! Yay!
Squeeks, Marvin, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Hal, and Gwendolyn: (singing) The Nature Cat Band, they're here to have some fun! Together, we'll dance and be happy friends! Shout it out loud, because it's party time!
(Cut to Nature Cat who plays his bass guitar with a huge grin. Squeeks taps her triangle.)
Marvin, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Hal: (singing, voiceover) Now let's be one, come on, we'll sing with the Nature Cat Band.
(Boris and his bandmates are in the back of the crowd as they watch the crowd enjoying the show.)
Boris: (spoken) Ha, it seems Emily has brought in those non musicians to the stage. Now the crowds are enjoying their shows?
(His 3 band mates scoff at the scene as they and Boris then leave the arena. Cut back to the stage.)
Nature Cat: (spoken) The Nature Cat Band forever, they'll here to stay and show you fun!
(Marvin runs over to join him on the mic.)
Marvin: (spoken) Nature Cat, he's the best. And he's always happy but not tough!
Mini Nature Cat: (spoken) Tally-ho!
Gwendolyn: (spoken) The Nature Cat Band as friends who don't give up so we try!
Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin: (spoken) Then fun is all around us, everybody sing it LOUD!
Squeeks: (singing) Let's go and soar up high, a future in the sky which is full of kind. That star that can shine!
Gwendolyn: (singing, voiceover) So everyone is happy to a joyful tune!
(As "So everyone is happy to a joyful tune!" is said, some of the animal spectators in the audience wave their hands to the music.)
(Cut back to the stage.)
Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin: (spoken) So it's time....
(They face the viewer again.)
Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin: (spoken) Let's sing and shout! Nature Cat Band! Yay!
Squeeks, Marvin, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Hal, and Gwendolyn: (singing) The Nature Cat Band, they're here to have some fun! Together, we'll dance and be happy friends!
(As "Together, we'll dance and be happy friends!" is said, Marvin plays his maracas too fast and throws them up, before he is sent spinning out of control.)
(Cut to Nature Cat who plays his bass guitar with a huge grin. Squeeks taps her triangle.)
Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Hal: (singing, voiceover) Let's all have fun, and we're together now!
(As "Let's all have fun, and we're together now!" is said, Squeeks gets dizzy playing her triangle and collapses on the floor, asleep.)
Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Hal: (singing, voiceover) Now let's be one, come on, we'll sing with the Nature Cat Band.
(As "Now let's be one, come on, we'll sing with the Nature Cat Band." is said, the maracas that Marvin had before suddenly hit Gwendolyn and Nature Cat on the head, making them dizzy, and they also collapsed to the floor.)
Mini Nature Cat, Daisy, and Hal: (singing, voiceover) Sing a song with the Nature Cat Band.
(As "Sing a song with the Nature Cat Band." is said, Daisy accidentally takes her electric guitar off. She realizes it and panics and goes to retrieve it. Hal sees Daisy leaving to get her electric guitar, and so he screams and goes to get it for her.)
(At this point, the band is already troubled onstage and dizzy.)
Mini Nature Cat: (singing) The Nature Cat Band will sing a happy song.
(As he sings, he tries to master what Emily showed them earlier with the microphone stand, but fails, and gets hit by it.)
Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin: (spoken as they all fall over at the same time) Hey!
(They end their song and their performance. However, the crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne) suddenly began to laugh at them for their mishaps, quickly embarrassing the band. Emily oversaw this from backstage and she suddenly facepalms in shock.)
(The band exchanges a look, and suddenly, as they sit up, they're all washed with the crowd's laughter. It seems their faces suddenly turned bright red with embarrassment as they realized they were the ones being laughed at.)
(Nature Cat sits up and sighs in defeat.)
Hal: (embarrassed laughing) "Well, that was... interesting."
(Marvin couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes. Emily, their manager, looked on with a mix of concern and encouragement, trying to will them to recover from their mistakes.)
Nature Cat: (ashamed) The crowd, which had been cheering and dancing along just moments before, couldn't help but burst out laughing at our sudden misfortune.
Squeeks: I agree. I think we're done for.
(As such, Buster and Katie ask the crowd to vote for their favorite band and their act after the round ends. The Alolan Beats band faces Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin, whose faces still show a hint of worry. At this point, the instruments are no longer on the stage.)
Katie: Okay everybody, it's time for you guys to send in your happy face votes. But I gotta say, this round was a tight match. It is hard to decide on who should move on, but we should expect that the audience's wise choice will decide on who wins. It's down to the Alolan Beats band or Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Marvin, and Hal.
Buster and Katie: Okay everybody, now you can send in your happy face votes now!
(The happy faces from the glow sticks fill up a happy face voting meter for the 2 bands: Alolan Beats and Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin. Both bands are quietly waiting to see who moves on to the next round.)
Buster: (voice-over) 999 audience members have judged themselves on who will move on, so their precious happy faces will be sending themselves over to the stage's happy face voting meter for the 2 bands. Who will advance to the main stage of the contest? The countdown starts now, folks.
(The two meters start to add up the numbers as they are either added or removed.)
(Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Marvin, and Hal stand on one side of the stage with scared faces.)
Hal: We messed up so many many times.
(The Alolan Beats band stood on the other side and they all laughed at Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Marvin, and Hal.)
Katie: (voice-over) It seems that the Alolan Beats band have shown us their true love of the beach, and even some rock and roll music. It's a tight showdown for them as they went up against their opponents: Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Marvin, and Hal.
Buster: (voice-over) What about their opponent, which is the Nature Cat Band? They're a fun band to have in the contest, but despite some errors in their performance that they just played for us, they showed up for us, and they made it a bit like comedy.
Katie: What will the final count be?
(After the final count, it's revealed that Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Marvin, and Hal have won the round at 523 votes. The animal crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Emily Lynne, and Taran Killam) suddenly began to cheer for Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Marvin, and Hal.)
Katie: Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Marvin, and Hal have won the match. They have 523 votes while the Alolan Beats band have 446 votes, meaning they're out of the contest. (voice-over) What will the Nature Cat Band do next?
Buster: I don't know. But it looks like Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin will advance to the next round, folks.
(As Buster speaks, Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin cheer for their sudden victory in the round.)
Spectator #5 (voiced by Taran Killam): Wow! (calling out) The Nature Cat Band did it!
Spectator #6 (voiced by Emily Lynne): I cannot wait to see what they will do next.
(On the stage, Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin cheered some more for their sudden victory in the round. However, static interrupts them and the scene immediately switches to a living room, where Lee the dad cat, Marlin the baby cat, and Ellen the mom cat were watching the match from home on their television.)
(Lee the dad cat, Marlin the baby cat, and Ellen the mom cat cheer loudly for the band.)
Ellen: I like the way that they did their performance.
Lee: I know, they were so awesome and fun. (to Marlin) I knew they could do it!
(Cut back to the stage where Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin then acknowledge each other on their win as Emily watches them.)
Daisy: See guys? I told you we can do hard things!
Marvin: We should do more practice with Emily so we can become better.
Squeeks: Yeah!
(Hal, Squeeks, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin then cheer along with Emily, who celebrates the victory from backstage.)
Emily: Oh yeah, they smashed the round and they won it. (to Hal, Daisy, Squeeks, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin) If you guys keep up this behavior, then we could win the music contest for real. We'll be practicing harder than ever!
Nature Cat: (to Emily) Right! Tally-ho!
Part 10: A Montage Of Victories[]
(A montage of scenes then starts up as rock music plays in the background, with the characters's voices muted: Marvin, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal move on to another round when they defeat another band after a performance that they put on, then Boris and his three bandmates (as the Harmony Heroes) performed very well in their round and win against a band of reggae animals, much to the crowd's loud cheers. But, from backstage, Emily saw everything from the Harmony Heroes in secret. In the morning at Emily's house, Emily then rallies up a weary band (Marvin, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal) to practice on the equipment. At night, as the band slept after a practice run, Emily stayed up thinking of more ideas and skills to teach the band, but she ends up looking weary herself when she wakes up the band with the same pair of cymbals, and then, the weary band went to practice more and more so that they can take down the Harmony Heroes and win the contest. As the days of the contest go on at the Music Battle Arena, located at the Stadium Express, Marvin, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal move on to even more rounds when they defeat more music bands with their own new songs, becoming a popular music band in the big city. Meanwhile, Boris and his 3 bandmates are doing just the same thing as them, sparking some jealousy from Emily, who continues to oversee everything that they do from backstage while they perform to the crowd in the contest's quarterfinals.)
(After one round ended, Marvin, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal were walking through a very big crowd of their fans. Their fans are happy that they are speeding through the competition. However, they stop walking when they see three fans, which were Marlin, Lee, and Ellen from earlier. As such, Lee the dad cat, Marlin the baby cat, and Ellen the mom cat ask for a photo with Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin, and they take the photo with the cat family, including their other fans.)
(Meanwhile, Boris and his 3 bandmates are doing just the same thing as them with their own fanbase, sparking more jealousy from Emily, who continues to oversee everything that they do from backstage while they perform to the crowd again in the contest's quarterfinals. Eventually, the Harmony Heroes and Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin are up against one another in the finals after both teams successfully won the semi finals. The rock music stops at this point.)
(After a while, a news broadcast comes on.)
Katie: (voice-over) After a fierce musical battle of rounds, it seems that the Harmony Heroes and Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin are going to go head to head.
Buster: (voice-over) That is right, Katie. The two bands have advanced to the final stage after both teams have successfully won the semi finals. It's going to be a final showdown which will unfold tomorrow. It's going to be a tight match for the win between the beloved Nature Cat Band.
Katie: (voice-over) Or Boris, and his 3 unnamed bandmates, who we know as the- (she suddenly coughs)
Buster: (voice-over) The Harmony Heroes?
Katie: (voice-over) Oh. Right. The Harmony Heroes! They're really going to prove to us that they will not be beaten for real at the finals!
Buster: (voice-over) Who will be the final winner? Come see it at the Music Battle Arena, where history always happens.
(Lee the dad cat, Marlin the baby cat, and Ellen the mom cat were watching the news broadcast from home on their television. As such, Lee the dad cat, Marlin the baby cat, and Ellen the mom cat are waving their glow sticks and banners with enthusiasm. As the eve of the finals approaches, both of the competing bands (which are the Harmony Heroes and Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin) meet with their respective fanbases for one last time, signing autographs and taking photos with their respective fans. They both know that this is their chance to shine and prove themselves as the best music band in the big city.)
(Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin are beaming with pride as they greet their fans, knowing that they've come so far and achieved so much. But they also know that they can't let their guard down, not yet. They have to give it their all and perform the best show of their lives if they want to win.)
(Boris and his bandmates, on the other hand, seem confident and calm, but Emily knows that they're not to be underestimated. They're a talented band with a lot of experience, and they'll stop at nothing to win. The stage is set for the ultimate showdown!)
(The next day was the finals at the Music Battle Arena. Katie and Buster come out on the stage to address the gathered crowd of animals at the stadium.)
Katie: (to the crowd) Well everyone, it's finally here after so long! It's now time for the finals of the Battle Of Animal Music Bands at the Stadium Express.
Buster: It has been a long journey for these two bands, and now, you'll get to see them on the biggest stage for one night only! Two bands, one winner.
Katie and Buster: Are you ready?!
(The animal crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Emily Lynne, and Taran Killam) suddenly began to cheer loudly.)
Katie: The Harmony Heroes and Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin are finally going to go head to head, folks. They have defeated countless bands during this battle contest and are now going to battle it out for the win. As such, let's recap on Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin. Despite being from a different background, they showed us an explosive growth during this contest.
(The crowd stops their cheering as Katie shows them a picture of Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin, which appeared on the right side of the screen behind her and Buster.)
Buster: (voice-over) And, don't forget about the unstoppable Boris and his bandmates, who we now know as the band 'Harmony Heroes'.
(As Buster speaks, a picture of the Harmony Heroes appeared on the left side of the screen behind him and Katie.)
(He then walks out to the crowd.)
Buster: Who will be the final winner?
Katie: We'll have to see. So, who is up first?
(After the screen flashes between the two bands for a little bit, The Harmony Heroes get to go first.)
Buster: (voice-over) It's the unstoppable big city band, Boris and his bandmates, who we now know as the band 'Harmony Heroes'. (the crowd of animals (voiced by Kate Micucci, Emily Lynne, and Taran Killam) cheers as he speaks) Get ready!
(As such, The Harmony Heroes (as Boris and his bandmates) take to the stage for the crowd. As they do so, they all deliver a thrilling pop performance on risers.)
(They sing the same song that they sang before.)
Boris: (singing) Going to sing my song for you.
And I know they'll want to hear it!
You want to hear it.
(Yeah, you need to hear it.)
It will be the most special song.
And I know they'll want to hear it!
Boris and his three bandmates (as the Harmony Heroes): (singing) We're the Harmony Heroes, and we cannot be beat. We're the Harmony Heroes, and we cannot be beat. We're the Harmony Heroes, and we cannot be beat. We're the Harmony Heroes, and we cannot be beat.
Boris: (singing) Everyone wants to sing their own song. With the Harmony Heroes, you won't be alone. And the Harmony Heroes thrive, and we cannot be getting beat. We'll win this music contest!
Boris and his three bandmates (as the Harmony Heroes): (singing) We're the Harmony Heroes, and we cannot be beat.
(They then end their song and the crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne) cheers loudly for them.)
(As such, Katie and Buster take to the stage while Boris and his three bandmates (as the Harmony Heroes) left the stage.)
Katie: Perfection! A performance that is worthy to become glory in the finals.
Buster: That's right, Katie! And now, we will have the next performer come up here. Up next, we'll have the different background friends with a explosive growth during the contest perform for us, and they're sure to make their fanbase proud.
Katie and Buster: Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin!
(The picture of Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin appears on the screen as they leave the stage as they speak.)
(As such, the band's instruments are elevated to the stage as the crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne) cheers happily, but suddenly, they then realized that something is wrong and they gasp.)
Part 11: Where Are Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, And Marvin?[]
(As such, Katie and Buster have to run back out to the stage.)
Buster: Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin? (looks out into the crowd) Where are Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin?
Katie: I don't know. Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin are usually excited to be here by now.
(Meanwhile, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin are peacefully walking through the backstage area with Emily.)
Buster: (voice-over, through the overhead speaker) Where are Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin?
(Suddenly, Marvin realizes something when he hears Buster's voice in the overhead speaker. He suddenly gasps.)
Marvin: (to the others, worried) Guys! It's the finals, and we are now up to perform, so we need to go! Now!
Hal: (worried) We're not ready! (he pulls out his old drumstick) I still didn't change my drum stick.
(The drumstick suddenly breaks apart upon being revealed. Hal and Squeeks frowned.)
Daisy: Man oh man, what are we gonna do?!
Nature Cat: We don't even have our instruments. Where are they?
Squeeks: We gotta hurry before it's too late!
(As such, Buster, the crowd, and Katie get more worried about Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin.)
Buster: Where are Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin? Is there no more Nature Cat Band?
Katie: (worried) I still don't know where they are, Buster. Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin don't often take that long.
(Cut to a row of spectators sitting on bleachers in the audience.)
Spectator #7 (voiced by Taran Killam): (concerned) What happened to Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin?
Buster: (voice-over) Where are Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin?
Spectator #8 (voiced by Emily Lynne): I don't know. (shrugging) It's time for us to see Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin in action, but I guess they didn't get ready.
Spectator #9 (voiced by Kate Micucci): If they don't come out on the stage and perform for us soon, then that means Boris and his three bandmates, who we know as the Harmony Heroes, will be the contest's final winner. I don't want that to happen because I love seeing Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin perform for us! (she cowers in fear behind a banner of Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin, which she made)
Spectator #10 (voiced by Taran Killam): Oh, dear.
Spectator #8 (voiced by Emily Lynne): They need to come out, quick! I don't wanna be waiting here all day.
(Spectator #9 peeks out of her banner. Marlin, Lee, and Ellen arrive in the arena with their glow sticks in hand and notice that the other animals are worried about Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin's sudden disappearance. They then get worried as well, so they stay near the arena's entrance in an attempt to spot them from there.)
(Cut to Katie and Buster.)
Buster: Huh? Well, it seems that there is no sign of Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin anywhere.
Katie: So I think a decision must be made by us. The winner of this year's Battle Of Animal Music Bands at the Stadium Express is going to be...
Katie and Buster: (to the viewer) The Harmony-
Squeeks: (offscreen) Wait! Don't you dare try to declare an early winner on us!
Katie and Buster: Huh? (they turn to see who made that sound) Who said that?
(Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Emily, Gwendolyn, and Marvin suddenly appeared on the left side of the stage, much to their horror. Daisy, Emily, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal are now looking determined to get this over with.)
Nature Cat: (proudly) The Nature Cat Band! At your service!
(As he says "At your service!", he, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Emily, Gwendolyn, and Marvin strike poses.)
(Hal winks and laughs a little bit. A new drumstick is in his left hand.)
(Then, the entire animal crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Emily Lynne, and Taran Killam) suddenly began to happily cheer and waved their glow sticks and banners in the air because of Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal's sudden appearance. In the audience, Ellen, Lee, and Marlin are very happy.)
Marlin and Ellen: (excited) Hooray!
(On the right side of the stage, Boris sees Daisy, Emily, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal and he gasps. His bandmates, however, are angry that they showed up.)
(From the middle of the stage, Buster and Katie see that Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal are still looking determined to give it their all. They are also surprised as well.)
Katie: I don't believe this, folks! (to the viewer) Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal are finally here. (excited) Now, at the very last minute.
Buster: It seems that Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal will be performing a song for us during the finals after all! I should have known and we took that back. But, was that sudden appearance planned to surprise us, though?
(Cut to Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal.)
Katie: (voice-over) Oh. Right. But the big showdown will still go on! Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal are up to perform as planned.
Daisy: (to Nature Cat, Squeeks, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin) So, let's try to make this crowd extra proud of us so that Emily can be proud of us too. And after the show, we'll see if the crowd loved it so that we can win!
Nature Cat, Squeeks, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin: (proudly) We are the Nature Cat Band! Onward and Yonward!
Emily: (to Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal) Well, after so long being together during the music contest, we made it this far, guys. I can't believe you guys did so well. (leans down to Marvin) But this is gonna be the last performance.
Marvin: (shocked) Why?
Emily: Well, just go out there and have fun. The crowd supported you and your friends all the way to the finals, which is your big moment to shine!
Squeeks: (beaming with pride) Thanks!
(As such, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin happily ran out to the stage as Emily looked on, proudly. Then, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin are elevated to the stage while near their respective instruments.)
Katie: (voice-over) The big showdown has reached its breaking point in the final stage, and even, the final act.
Buster: It seems that Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal will be performing a song for us, so let's all give them a very big welcome! They're our Funtime band now, so here they are.
Katie and Buster: (voice-over) The Nature Cat Band!
(Nature Cat stands near the microphone as he takes a deep breath.)
Part 12: This Is It! The Finale![]
(Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin then perform "A Happy Song (Reprise)." It is sung to the tune of "Shout Out" from Pororo: Popstar Adventure. The song's instrumental intro starts up as they perform it on their respective instruments.)
Daisy: (singing) The Nature Cat Band, they're here to have some fun! Together, we'll dance and be happy friends! Shout it out loud, because it's party time! Now let's be one, come on, we'll sing with the Nature Cat Band.
Hal: (spoken) Everybody's dancing proud, and we're having the best time today!
Mini Nature Cat: (spoken) The Nature Cat Band, they're here to have some happy fun!
Nature Cat: (spoken) Tally-ho!
Gwendolyn: (spoken) The Nature Cat Band as friends who don't give up so we try!
Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin: (spoken) Then fun is all around us, everybody sing it LOUD!
Squeeks: (singing) Let's go and soar up high, a future in the sky which is full of kind. That star that can shine!
Gwendolyn: (singing, voiceover) So everyone is happy to a joyful tune!
Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin: (spoken) So it's time....
Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin: (spoken) Let's sing and shout! Nature Cat Band! Yay!
Marvin, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Hal, Squeeks, and Gwendolyn: (singing, voice-over) The Nature Cat Band, they're here to have some fun! Together, we'll dance and be happy friends!
(Cut to Nature Cat who plays his bass guitar with a huge grin on his face. Squeeks happily taps her triangle.)
Marvin, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Squeeks, Gwendolyn, and Hal: (singing) Let's all have fun, and we're together now! Now let's be one, come on, we'll sing with the Nature Cat Band.
(Instrumental break.)
Nature Cat: (spoken) The Nature Cat Band forever, they'll here to stay and show you fun!
Marvin: (spoken) Nature Cat, he's the best. And he's always happy but not tough!
Mini Nature Cat: (spoken) Tally-ho!
Gwendolyn: (spoken) The Nature Cat Band as friends who don't give up so we try!
Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin: (spoken) Then fun is all around us, everybody sing it LOUD!
Squeeks: (singing, voice-over) Let's go and soar up high, a future in the sky which is full of kind. That star that can shine!
Gwendolyn: (singing, voice-over) So everyone is happy to a joyful tune!
(As "So everyone is happy to a joyful tune!" is said, some of the animal spectators in the audience wave their hands to the music. Lee, Ellen, and Marlin are feeling very happy for the band as they perform, and so do Buster, Emily, and Katie, who watch the show from backstage. As such, a few of the other music bands that were eliminated during the contest (including Dog Gone) begin to dance along to the music in the audience.)
(Cut back to the stage. Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin are still performing.)
Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin: (spoken) So it's time....
(They face the viewer yet again.)
Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin: (spoken) Let's sing and shout! Nature Cat Band! Yay!
(Key change.)
Squeeks, Marvin, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Hal, and Gwendolyn: (singing) The Nature Cat Band, they're here to have some fun! Together, we'll dance and be happy friends!
Marvin, Daisy, Squeeks, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Hal: (singing) Let's all have fun, and we're together now!
(As "Let's all have fun, and we're together now!" is said, Squeeks throws up her triangle and balances atop one of the cymbals while Marvin shakes the maracas and joyfully spins around while Hal happily drums.)
Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, and Hal: (singing) Now let's be one, come on, we'll sing with the Nature Cat Band.
Marvin, Daisy, Squeeks, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Hal: (singing, voiceover) Sing a song with the Nature Cat Band.
(As "Sing a song with the Nature Cat Band." is said, Daisy plays her electric guitar in a faster way.)
Marvin, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal: (spoken) The Nature Cat Band will sing a happy song.
(As Nature Cat happily speaks, he now has a turn to try to master what Emily showed them earlier with the microphone stand, and, he succeeds by catching it with his other hand.)
Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin: (spoken) Hey!
(They then end their song and strike victory poses. Mini Nature Cat smiles at the viewer as he does his victory pose, and so does Daisy, Nature Cat, and Marvin. The crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne) is (cheering) for Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin throughout the following two scenes: Squeeks and Hal stare at each other proudly. Then Daisy and Mini Nature Cat are shown as they then wiped a sweat off of their foreheads before looking at each other.)
The crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne): (chanting, voice-over) Nature Cat! Nature Cat! Nature Cat! Nature Cat! Nature Cat! Nature Cat! Nature Cat! Nature Cat! Nature Cat! Nature Cat! Nature Cat! Nature Cat! Nature Cat!
(As the animals happily chanted Nature Cat's name, Marvin and Gwendolyn high five each other and Nature Cat takes a well deserved bow, and then Nature Cat joyfully waves to the animal audience (his waving animation is from one of the Nature Prize Surprise segments: Nature Cat vs. Bad Dog Bart.)
(Then the votes from the audience's happy face glow sticks were now flooding in fast as the crowd stopped cheering. As such, Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin and Boris and his three bandmates (as the Harmony Heroes) are standing on the stage (in front of the musical instruments), with Buster and Katie overlooking the happy face votes for both bands. The votes suddenly stop pouring in after a while and Buster sees that the happy face meter for Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin has 499 votes.)
Part 13: Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, And Marvin Win![]
Buster: Oh, no. Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin have 499 votes from the audience. There's still one happy face short. (facing Katie while Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin look at their vote count) Does that mean Boris and his three bandmates win?
(Close up of Katie and Boris and his three bandmates.)
Katie: Um. Does the opponent have more votes than the other? Let's see. (she also sees that Boris and his three bandmates have the same number of votes) I don't know, Buster. It seems that Boris and his three bandmates have the same number. 499. What exactly is going on?
Boris: (voice-over) The big showdown has reached its first ever tie.
(The crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne) suddenly gasped as Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin were also looking confused at what was going on.)
Hal: It looks like a tie. (he looked at Daisy)
Daisy: (to the viewer, shrugging) Well, the votes are evenly split, and it's unclear who will be declared the winner if we both have the same amount of votes.
Nature Cat: (puts his left hand on his hip) Why is it a tie?
Squeeks: (confused) A tie? I don't think so. Maybe the voting system is broken.
Katie: There is still one happy face vote left out there, folks. Where is it?
(Buster and Katie then look at each other, unsure of what to do next since someone has not cast a vote yet.)
Nature Cat: (voice-over) Everyone is wondering, where could the vote be?
Katie: (voice-over) Hey, look! Over there!
(The animals on the stage and the audience of animals all looked at Marlin, Lee, and Ellen, who then walked to the front of the audience, and stopped when they reached the front of the stage. As such, the crowd is quietly watching the scene while Marlin is excitedly cheering, waving his happy face glow stick around and meowing the names of Marvin, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal (as if to say that the cat family votes for the band). Finally, Marlin then presses the button to send his vote, and the happy face flies to the stage from the glow stick, with everybody quietly watching the flying happy face.)
(On the stage, Buster and Katie are looking up at the flying happy face, and are unsure of what this would mean, including Boris and his three bandmates and Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin, who also looked on.)
Hal: What's this?
Marvin: (jumping up) Is it a vote that's just for us?
Squeeks: I think so, but is it gonna be enough for us so that we win?
(The flying happy face then hits the right side screen showing Marvin, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal with a soft click before it disappears into the screen as a white circle. Katie and Buster then go over to the screen showing Marvin, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal in surprise, as everyone now wants to know who won.)
Katie: (voice-over) It looks like the winner of the Battle Of Animal Music Bands at the Stadium Express is going to be...
(Everyone else on the stage gulps in sudden fear and shock. Emily watches from nearby, with her eyes shut in horror.)
Hal: What happened?
(Close up of Marlin, Lee, and Ellen in the audience.)
Marlin: (happily) Tally-ho!
(As such, the screen then shows Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Hal, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin as the number then rises from 499 to 501 votes, which means they win.)
Buster and Katie: (to the animal audience) The Nature Cat Band has won!
The crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne): (voice-over, cheering) Yay! Whoo-hoo!
Spectator #10 (voiced by Taran Killam): (voice-over) Bravo!
(The crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne) continued with their cheering and confetti starts to come raining down from the ceiling as the next two lines are said.)
Katie: (voice-over) As such, the Battle Of Animal Music Bands at the Stadium Express has never had a winner from the city before, so this is the first time for this.
(As "has never had a winner from the city before, so this is the first time for this." is said, Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin are happily celebrating the hard fought victory with laughter, cheers, and victory hugs.)
Buster: (voice-over) The Nature Cat Band has made history happen in the Battle Of Animal Music Bands at the Stadium Express!
Hal: (to Daisy) I can't actually believe this! We won!
(Emily then appears from out of nowhere. She is jumping into the air to Nature Cat, Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin in slow motion. Marvin gasps at her sudden surprise appearance. Nature Cat quickly ducks as Emily landed on Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, Squeeks, and Hal, which causes them to suddenly feel dizzy.)
Emily: (proud) You guys really proved yourselves out there! (pats Mini Nature Cat on the head) And, you guys believed in yourselves!
(Mini Nature Cat laughs a bit.)
Mini Nature Cat: You know, we were just trying to have a little fun. It's all part of the game, right guys?
Hal: Yes.
Squeeks: We should do it again!
(As such, Daisy, Emily, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal begin to happily laugh in agreement.)
Boris: (calling out) Um, excuse me, Nature Cat Band.
Daisy, Emily, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal: Huh?
Part 14: The Harmony Heroes Are Defeated, But Not Without Showing Remorse.[]
(Mini Nature Cat lifts his head up.)
Mini Nature Cat: The Harmony Heroes?
(Boris and his 3 bandmates, having been defeated by Nature Cat and his amazing band, offer their sincere congratulations to the winning band.)
Boris: (happy) Congratulations! That really was a great performance that you guys did earlier.
Mini Nature Cat: (thankful) Thanks!
(Squeeks stands up and suddenly hops out to the two animals.)
Squeeks: But Boris, you were being mean to us when we came here on the contest's opening day, and that was not nice.
Mini Nature Cat: (to Boris and his 3 bandmates) Will you say sorry?
(The Harmony Heroes are being so gracious in defeat.)
Boris and his 3 bandmates: We're sorry for what we did to you earlier. We let our desire to win get the best of us, and we didn't behave like true competitors.
Boris: We realize now that it's not just about winning, but about the music, the passion, and the joy of performing. You guys have reminded us of that, and we're grateful.
(As such, Daisy, Emily, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, Nature Cat, Squeeks, and Hal begin to realize the remorse of their opponents as they are taken aback by their words, but they can see the genuine remorse in their eyes.)
Boris: (to Nature Cat, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, Squeeks, and Hal) You guys also have a special spark in your songs that wasn't in ours. We want to sing with you, because you've taught us something important.
Emily: It's a beautiful moment, one that reminds us that even in competition, there's room for kindness, empathy, and sportsmanship.
(Nature Cat, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin are happily agreeing with Boris's idea, when they suddenly hear something.)
(The crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne) was softly cheering and waving their banners and glow sticks again, including Marlin (who waves his happy face glow stick in the air). So, Boris and Nature Cat looked at the cheering audience.)
The crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne): (voice-over, cheering softly) Whoo-hoo!
(One of the crowd spectators (voiced by Taran Killam) softly said "Hooray!" 4 times.)
Squeeks: (upon hearing the audience cheering softly) What do they want, Nature Cat?
(Nature Cat puts his left ear close to the crowd.)
The crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne): (voice-over, cheering softly) Encore! Encore! We want an encore, Nature Cat!
(As such, they continue to repeat the "Encore! Encore!" phrase as the next few lines are said.)
(Upon hearing the soft cheers of the crowd, Emily wants the two bands of animals to give it all they've got.)
Emily: (to Nature Cat) Nature Cat. (Nature Cat sees her motioning her left hand to the cheering crowd) I think this rivalry between me and Boris is over, which is all thanks to this new friendship that you guys have come up with!
(Then, Nature Cat agrees.)
Nature Cat: Okay! (he goes over to Boris as Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Marvin, and Hal get up from the ground) Boris, should we sing together now?
Boris: Huh?
Nature Cat: The audience has spoken.
Hal: It looks like they wanted us to sing all together as a team! (he jumps up and down happily with Nature Cat)
Squeeks: Oh yeah! Count the mouse in!
(Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Daisy, and Marvin cheered.)
Boris: Let's do it!
Part 15: The Encore![]
(The crowd (voiced by Kate Micucci, Taran Killam, and Emily Lynne) cheered louder as spotlights were turning on in the stadium. The instrumental to the song "Nature Cat's Superstars" starts up again.)
Katie: (voice-over) I don't believe it, folks. We have the Harmony Heroes and Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin taking the stage to sing an encore performance just for us.
(As Katie speaks, Emily, the Harmony Heroes and Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin ran out to the front of the stage and happily waved to the crowd.)
Buster: (voice-over) How about those Superstars that won first place and second place performing together? Now that's what I call history!
Katie: (voice-over) The winning band is starting to get excited about the opportunity to collaborate with their rivals. Okay everybody, let's get loud for the Harmony Heroes and Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin, as they play a special encore song.
Katie and Buster: (to the viewer, excited) Are you all ready?!
Katie and Buster: (voice-over) Nature Cat!
(As they say "Nature Cat!", a part of the crowd is shown before changing crowd scenes. It then went to the stage with the Harmony Heroes and Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin striking poses.)
Mini Nature Cat: (spoken) Hey!
(Daisy is on the electric guitar, Nature Cat is on bass guitar, Squeeks is playing a triangle, Hal is on the drumset, the adult Gwendolyn is playing the keyboard, Mini Nature Cat is the lead singer, and Marvin is on the maracas.)
Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin: (singing, voice-over) Everyone now, everyone do the groove
Let's groove and have fun, let's groove and have fun
Everybody do the groove! Let's all do the groove!
It is time for a new dance.
(On "It is time for a new dance.", the Harmony Heroes and Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Nature Cat, and Marvin jumped proudly into the air and a picture of the bands was taken. Then that is when the scrolling end credits roll.)
Daisy: (voice-over, singing) Here comes Nature Cat and all his friends, they're Nature Cat's Superstars!
Hal, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Marvin, and One Eared Winnie (a.k.a. Gwendolyn): (voiceover, singing) Everyday they're working hard along with having fun
Squeeks: (voice-over, singing) Turn that frown upside down and be happy like us
Hal: (spoken, voice-over) Now, come join us!
Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, Hal, and Marvin: (spoken, voice-over) Let's dance (Hey!)
Marvin, Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, and Gwendolyn: (singing, voice-over) Everyone now, everyone do the groove
Let's groove and have fun, let's groove and have fun
Everybody do the groove! Let's all do the groove!
It is time for a new dance.
Mini Nature Cat: (singing, voice-over) Here comes Nature Cat and all his friends, they like their fun! Everyone likes having them around and doing the dance

Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin: (singing, voice-over) Everyone now, everyone do the groove
Let's groove and have fun
Hal: (voice-over, spoken) Everybody groove!
Gwendolyn: (spoken, voice-over) Let's all do the groove!
Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin: (voice-over, spoken) It is time for a new dance with the All-Stars!
Squeeks, Daisy, Mini Nature Cat, Gwendolyn, and Marvin: (singing, voiceover) Everyone now, everyone do the groove
Let's groove and have fun, let's groove and have fun
Everybody do the groove! Let's all do the groove!
It is time for a new dance.
(The last instrumental part for the song then plays. Song ends.)
("A Happy Song (Reprise)." is then played during the end credits, then the song "We're the Harmony Heroes" then plays, and then it's the score suite throughout the rest of the end credits.)
