(Narrator enters)

Narrator: once upon a time on a planet called mewpurrter… there was Rosie, Daisy, and lord Roberto. Rosie and Daisy where two cats who had become immortal by breaking the Jabereep stone, but there is a small complication. Rosie is in love with a ki-turkey named Lord Roberto, but Lord Roberto will not live forever. Rosie has decided to go on an adventure.. a search for the lost stones of mewpurrter. There was an old story that told of seven stones, each holding a magical power, after looking into it more Rosie and Daisy have decided that the Jabereep stone they found was one of the seven stones. Before that they thought that the legend had been fake, but now they believe it. Rosie, yesterday, tracked down an old legend about an object called a Sheshekeshi Stone. After showing it to daisy they decided that this must be another one of the stones of Mewpurrter……

(Narrator exits. Rosie and Daisy enter)

Rosie: okay, I figured it out, sheshekeshi is the old Catish word for wish.

Daisy: so the Sheshekeshi Stone is a wish stone?

Rosie: yeah that's what it looks like.

Daisy: cool! So when we find it I can wish to be able to fly!

Rosie: and I can wish to rule Mew- ...I mean, make Mewpurrter a better place…

Daisy: yeah! So let's go try to find it. Where does it say it is?

Rosie: it doesn't. Although, it does give you a list of what it likes.

Daisy: what it likes?

Rosie: yeah. It says:

I like water

I like sand

I like air

I like land

I like green

I like tall

Daisy: uhhh… where in mewpurrter could that be!?!

Rosie: not sure.

Daisy: hmm. Who would know?

Rosie: well the oofas like air and land. Maybe they know.

Daisy: then let's go ask them!

(Daisy starts to walk away)

Rosie: uh. Aren't you forgetting something?

Daisy: (turns around) no…

Rosie: what about Lord Roberto?

Daisy: what about him?

Rosie: he's supposed to come with us!

Daisy: oh yeah (sadly)

Rosie: remember. After that almost wedding thingy we said we would go on an adventure. And he came here a few days, but then had to go back to his tribe. So now we have to go get him so he can come with us.

Daisy: okay, then let's go. (Not enthusiastically)

(Daisy and Rosie exit. Narrator enters)

Narrator: and so they set off on there adventure, but how do they know that they will each get a wish? And where could the stone possibly be?

(Narrator exits. Lord Roberto enters walking slowly across the stage. When he gets to the middle Daisy runs on and grabs his wrist then begins pulling him away)

Daisy: let's go where going to find the Sheshekeshi Stone! Hurry up!

Lord Roberto: wait what!

(Rosie runs on and makes Daisy release Lord Roberto)

Rosie: sorry about that, Roberto. We have discovered a legend about a wish stone and are going to go find it, do you want to come with us?

Lord Roberto: sure.

Daisy: Then let's go!!!

(Daisy grabs Rosie and Lord Roberto’s wrists and drags them off. Narrator enters)

Narrator: well that took long enough! Now Rosie, Daisy, and Lord Roberto are off to the oofa tribe!

(Narrator exits. Rosie, Daisy, and lord Roberto enter into the oofa tribe. Zoofusa enters)

Zoofusa: Rosie! Daisy! Lord Roberto! What are you three doing here?!

Rosie: we came to ask you a question about this legend we found.

Zoofusa: go ahead.

Daisy: okay, so we want to know if you know of a place that has water, sand, land, and air, and that is green and tall.

Lord Roberto: wait, why do we need to know where a place is like that?

Daisy: because that's what it says on the old document.

Rosie: yeah it says the stone likes water, air, sand, land, green, and tall. So it must be a place with all of that.

Lord Roberto: what old document?

Rosie: (pulls the old document from his back pocket) this one!

Daisy: when did you get that!?

Rosie: I've had it the whole time. Anyways, Zoofusa? Do you know a place like that?

Zoofusa: I'm not exactly sure. Mint might know, he's better at remembering all of the old legends.

Daisy: thanks!

Rosie: yes, thank you!

Lord Roberto: bye!

(Lord Roberto, Rosie, and Daisy exit)

Zoofusa: good luck!

(Zoofusa exits. Narrator enters)

Narrator enters: and now to the wikalo tribe, to see Mint. For anyone who doesn't know, Mint is the leader of the wikalo tribe. Which is located on the other side of the river next to the oofa tribe.

(Narrator exits. Rosie, Daisy, and Lord Roberto enter)

Rosie: where here, but where's Mint?

Daisy: not sure.

Lord Roberto: where's anyone?

Daisy: I don't know.

Rosie: this silence is really creepy.

(There is a distant noise that sounds like: wikila! Wikila! Wikila! Washeeki! Washeeki!)

Daisy: you guys hear that too. Right?

Lord Roberto: yes.

Rosie: yeah…

Daisy: should we go check it out?

Rosie: I don't know.

Lord Roberto: I guess we probably should.

(Lord Roberto, Rosie, and Daisy exit. Narrator enters)

Narrator: Wikila! Wikila! Wikila! Washeeki! Washeeki! Is an anchante oofa chant that has been passed down for centuries.

(narrator exits. Lord Roberto, Rosie, and Daisy enter. There is a small group of about 5 wikalows dancing around a tree sapling)

Lord roberto: what are they doing?

Rosie: I don’t know..

Daisy: what is this tuk-tukness!

(Mint turns around. The rest of the wikalows stop chanting)

Mint: oh, hello. When did you get here?

Rosie: a few minutes ago, but no one was in town.

Mint: oh yes, sorry about that.

Daisy: what are you doing?

Mint: today is plant day! All the wikalows get into groups of about five of six and take a sapling to a place where we had to cut down a tree in the last year. Then they plant the sapling there and do and old wikalow ritual called the wikila.

Lord roberto: that makes a little bit more sense.

Mint: so why did you come here? Is there anything you need?

Daisy: we would like to know if you know of a place that is green and tall, and that has water, sand, land, and air.

Mint: hmm… i don’t know. Wait! You said sand and water right?

Rosie: yes.

Mint: ah! That’s it!

(Mint runs off)

Lord roberto: where is he going?

Daisy: i have no clue.

Rosie: neither do I.

(Mint runs back on holding an old book. He opens it and flips through a few pages)

Mint: here it is! The ancient cats of Kitten lake.

Lord roberto: Kitten lake! That’s just beyond the Muji mountains!

Rosie: and its right next to Kitten Town!

Daisy: What about the ancient cats of Kitten lake?

Mint: there is a legend about a lost tribe of cats from way back when cats still lived in tribes. You know the island in the middle of Kitten lake?

Rosie and Daisy: yeah.

Mint: according to the legend that island isn't real.

Lord Roberto: what do you mean not real?

Mint: apparently the sand is an illusion and the grass on top of it is the top of a giant tree that grows from the bottom of the lake. The tribe of cats is said to live in the routes of the tree because there is oxygen there. I says there called the Sheshekeshi tribe.

Rosie: did you say Sheshekeshi tribe!?

Daisy: Lets go! Lets go! Lets go!

(Rosie and Daisy run off)

Mint: Wait! You can't swim directly to the island!

Rosie: (offstage) okay!

Lord roberto: sorry, but i guess we have to go.

(lord roberto runs off after Rosie and Daisy)

Lord roberto: (offstage) Wait for me!

Mint: bye!

(Mint and other wikalows exit. Narrator enters)

Narrator: and now it’s off to find the Sheshekeshi Stone… again.

(narrator exits. Rosie, Daisy and Lord Roberto enter next to kitten lake)

Rosie: so that’s the island.

Daisy: but we cant swim to it.

Lord roberto: Mint said the cats live in the roots of a tree under a lake, right?

Daisy: yeah.

Lord Roberto: we could try to swim down to the roots.

Rosie: good idea.

Daisy: lets go.

(rosie, daisy, and Lord Roberto exit. Narrator enters)

Narrator: and so they go to the bottom of kitten lake to the lost Sheshekeshi tribe and the Sheshekeshi Stone…

(narrator exits. Rosie and Daisy enter)

Rosie: gross! I hate this water! It's like going to the beach ewww

Daisy: i know! I wish the lakes on Mewpurrter didn't have a bunch of stupid sand and salt in all of them!

Rosie: i know. Its so annoying!

(lord roberto enters)

Lord roberto: wow, you two are really fast swimmers.

Daisy: thanks.

Rosie: i know.

Daisy: so there really is a tree at the bottom of Kitten Lake! That’s so cool!

Lord roberto: it really is!

Rosie: i can’t believe that these roots create oxygen! It’s so nenememeroar!

Lord roberto: what does that mean?

Rosie: Fabulous.

Lord roberto: oh! That makes since.

(there is a rustle in a nearby bush)

Daisy: what was that?

Lord roberto: (jumps behind Rosie) ah!

Rosie: dont worry, ive got this.

(Rosie walks over and reaches behind the bush and gets pulled in by something)

Rosie: ah!

Lord Roberto and Daisy: Rosie!

(Rosie stands up from behind the bush with a smaller cat next to him)

Rosie: what were you doing back there?

Sheshe: sorry. I got a little scared. Who are you anyway?

Daisy: im Daisy.

Rosie: im Rosie.

Lord Roberto: and im Lord Roberto.

Sheshe: I am Sheshe. The leader of the Sheshekeshi tribe.

Daisy: Sheshe is leader of the Sheshekeshi tribe? (laughs)

Rosie: don’t be rude, Daisy! Although i do have to ask, are all the leaders of the Sheshekesghi tribe named Sheshe?

Sheshe: yes. It is a named passed down from ruler to ruler.

Lord Roberto: but your so young. How are you already leader?

Sheshe: each leader leads for as long as they live. The first cat born after they die becomes the next ruler. That way the ruler doesn’t stay within only one family.

Rosie: that’s cool.

Sheshe: so why did you three come here?

Daisy: we have come in search of the Sheshekeshi Stone.

Sheshe: have you come to steal it away from us?

Lord roberto: no. we just want to make a wish and leave.

Sheshe: i see. Well, i wish i could help you but the Sheshekeshi Stone is already gone.

Rosie: what!

Sheshe: it was taken years ago by a ki-turkey named Krisa.

Lord Roberto: Kirsa! But thats my mother!

Sheshe: she is?

Rosie: why would Krisa have the Sheshekeshi Stone?

Lord roberto: i don't know.

Daisy: wait, but Sheshe, i thought the stone had to be at the top of the tree?

Sheshe: that’s what it says in the old legend, but that’s only a hint to where the stone should be located. After it was stolen it no longer applied.

Daisy: thank you very much for the information, Sheshe. We hope to see you again soon.

Sheshe: no problem.

Rosie: bye!

Lord roberto: bye!

Daisy: see ya!

(daisy, Lord Roberto, and Rosie exit)

Sheshe: see ya!

(Sheshe exits. Narrator enters)

Narrator: and now ALL the way back over to Lord Robertos ki-turkey tribe. Yayyyy (sarcastically).

(narrator exits. Lord roberto, Rosie, and Daisy enter into the ki-turkey cave)

Lord Roberto: mom! Mom! Mom! Mom!

Daisy: you sound like a kit who just lost their mother.

Rosie: (laughs) yeah, you do.

Lord roberto: mommy!!!

(rosie and daisy laugh)

Lord Roberto: mommmmm!

(Kirsa enters)

Krisa: yes?

Lord roberto: did you really take the Sheshekeshi Stone from the cats under Kitten Lake?

Krisa: um… yes.

Lord Roberto: but why?

(krisa looks at Rosie and Daisy)

Rosie: oh! Look at the time, we should go.

Daisy: yeah.. This seems like a mother, son moment. We’ll go wait outside…

(Rosie and Daisy exit)

Lord roberto: mom! Why did you take the Sheshekeshi Stone!?

Krisa: because i wanted power!

Lord Roberto: what!? Don’t tell me that… that…

Krisa: i’m sorry, but it’s true. I used the Sheshekeshi Stone to wish our family into the throne of the ki-turkey tribe.

Lord Roberto: but..but if we aren’t supposed to be in power then who is supposed to be?

Krisa: well.. The real ruler of the ki-turkey tribe is supposed to-

(Daisy runs in)

Daisy: are you to done yet!

(Rosie runs in)

Rosie: Daisy! I told you to stay outside!

Krisa: sorry, i have to go now.

Daisy: wait, where is the Sheshekeshi Stone now?

Krisa: it was stolen by one of the old rulers of Kitten Town. i think it’s in the castle there.

Rosie: Kitten castle!

Daisy: come on, we have to go!

(Daisy grabs Rosies wrist and they run off with Daisy in the lead. Lord roberto follows them and Krisa exits from the opposite direction. Narrator enters)

Narrator: wait a minute… a diffrent ki-turkey is supposed to be leader of the ki-turkey tribe? Well, i guess we’ll have to wait for another play to find out that. Anyway, Daisy, Rosie, and Lord Roberto went ALL the way back to Rosie and Daisy’s castle to try and find the Sheshekeshi Stone.

(narrator exits. Rosie, Daisy, and Lord Roberto enter into the flower room. There is a glass case with a Rose and a glass case with a Daisy in it)

Rosie: we’re back.

Daisy: we went all over Mewpurrter.

Lord Roberto: so you guys think the Sheshekeshi Stone is really in this room?

Rosie: yes.

Daisy: where else would it be?

Rosie: so where do you think it is, Daisy.

Daisy: hmm… i don't know.

(Daisy, Rosie, and Lord Roberto look around for a minute)

Daisy: here!

(Daisy takes off the glass case on top of the Daisy and takes the Daisy out)

Rosie: ah! What are you doing?!

Lord Roberto: I thought that was the sacred Daisy!?

Daisy: i know, but look!

(Daisy points to a painting on the wall between the rose and daisy glass cases. It is a painting of a rose and a daisy next to each other and glowing)

Rosie: oh, i get it!

Lord roberto: get what?

(Rosie takes the glass case of of the rose and takes the rose out. Rosie and Daisy stand facing each other on opposite sides of the painting. They put the rose and daisy next to each other)

Lord roberto: what are you… oh!

Rosie: why isnt it working?

Daisy: i don't know. Maybe we're missing something. What's the Catish word for glow?

Rosie: um…

Daisy: oh, wait! I remember! Its kebela.

Daisy and Rosie: kebela!

(the rose and daisy glow and the painting drops to the floor, revealing a beautiful stone)

Rosie: its the Sheshekeshi Stone!

Daisy: so how does it work?

Rosie: dunno.

(Daisy picks up the Sheshekeshi Stone. And a voice comes from it)

Voice: i am the Sheshekeshi Stone! One of the seven stones of Mewpurrter. I will grant one of you three a wish.

Daisy: why not all of us?

Voice: i grant one wish to each being or group of beings that finds me. If they find me again they will not get a wish. That's how it works.

Rosie: okay. So who gets the wish?

Daisy: i’m not sure.

Rosie: well, we’re both already immortal so maybe we should let Lord Roberto have the wish.

Daisy: i guess….

Lord Roberto: really? You are going to let me have the wish?

Daisy: yeah.

Rosie: sure.

(Daisy hands Lord Roberto the Sheshekeshi Stone)

Lord Roberto: i wish… I wish to be immortal, so that i can be with Rosie forever.

(The Sheshekeshi Stone glows a little bit)

Rosie: are you immortal?

Lord Roberto: i guess i am.

Daisy: dang it! I really wanted to be able to fly! But i guess you being with Rosie forever is a little bit nicer….

(Daisy takes the Sheshekeshi Stone and puts it back into the wall, then puts the painting, rose, and daisy, and glass cases back in there places. Rosie helps some)

Rosie: do you guys wanna go get some treaty-nips?

Daisy: yeah!

Lord roberto: what?

Daisy: food.

Rosie: its Catish

Lord roberto: oh, okay.

Daisy: i know a great restaurant in Kitten Town.

Rosie: great!

(Rosie, Daisy, and Lord Roberto exit. Narrator enters)

Narrator: Lord Roberto is immortal! Well that sure is a plot twist… but wait! What about all the other Stones Of Mewpurrter. Dun Dun Dun!
