[BOBBY BEARHUG, Spoken]
You’re being REALLY nice, Dogday, but…
[HOPPY HOPSCOTCH, Spoken]
The guy just won’t listen!
[BUBBA BUBBAPHANT, Spoken]
The Smiling Critters only work when everyone’s working together!
[PICKY PIGGY, Spoken]
And, Catnap isn’t really… working with us…
[CATNAP, Spoken]
You all seem tense
Why don’t we sleep on this for now?
[KICKIN CHICKEN, Spoken]
Ugh, MORE sleep talk?!
You’re so annoying!!
Is THAT why your folks abandoned you here?!
[ALL]
…
[KICKIN CHICKEN, Spoken]
What?
We’re ALL orphans!!
[DOGDAY, Spoken]
That’s TOO far, Kickin’!
The Smiling Critters NEVER put down a friend in need
No matter HOW annoying they are!
Just look at the poor guy!
[CRAFTYCORN, Spoken]
But… he’s gone…
[DOGDAY, Spoken]
Great now we abandoned him too…
[KICKIN CHICKEN, Spoken]
Hmm…
Does that make him a double orphan?
[DOGDAY, Spoken]
KICKIN’!!
[CATNAP, Spoken]
They needed sleep, but I just yapped!
[CATNAP]
I’m nothing but a nag…
[CATNAP, Spoken]
No one likes that, stupid Catnap…
[CATNAP]
Get back in the bag…
I wish I had a better way…
To share what I know best…
Bring balance to their day…
And give them a……
R Ě Ș Ț……
[CATNAP, Spoken]
*Yawn…* HUH?!
WHERE AM I!?
…
Who are YOU?!
[DOCTOR, Spoken]
Good evening, my feline friend
Your sorrows touched me, child
And so The Doctor took you in to help bring back your smile
[CATNAP, Spoken]
Ugh, my throat hurts…
[DOCTOR, Spoken]
It shall fade
So pay it…
Little mind
You’ll love the changes I have made
As you are soon to find
You’re right, you know
Your friends need sleep
They simply cannot see…
The value that you offer them
And also offer me…
I think you’ll find yourself of use, now…
No longer a pest
So run along now, honor your vow
And give them a rest…
[CATNAP, Spoken]
Is it midnight already?
But it was just dawn!
Oh, well…
Surely they’re all fast asleep by now…
[CRAFTYCORN, Spoken]
Oh, THERE you are!
[BUBBA BUBBAPHANT, Spoken]
Dogday’s, been looking EVERYWHERE for you
[HOPPY HOPSCOTCH, Spoken]
Wanna join our slumber party?
[PICKY PIGGY, Spoken]
I baked cookies!
[CATNAP, Spoken]
You’re all up past midnight, AND eating sugar?!?!
[KICKIN CHICKEN, Spoken]
And YOURE bein’ a party pooper
[CATNAP, (KICKIN CHICKEN), Spoken]
You don’t understand…
All of you need to go to bed right now…
(Or what?)
You’ll have…
N I G H T M A R E S ! ! !
*GASP*
[DOGDAY, Spoken]
Catnap?!
What did you do to them?!
[CATNAP, Spoken]
Ahh!
No… Nonono…
What’s happening?
They’re… dreaming?
I can… see them dreaming…
Wake up…
Please, wake up!
[CRAFTYCORN, (CATNAP)]
No matter where I look it’s gray!
(Wake up, Wake up, why can’t you hear?)
[HOPPY HOPSCOTCH, (CATNAP)]
These wormy legs can’t hop away!
(They’re dreaming of their greatest fears…)
[PICKY PIGGY, (CATNAP)]
Don’t wanna eat you, but I’m starved…
(I didn’t mean for this at all…)
[BOBBY BEARHUG, (CATNAP)]
I didn’t meant to hug so hard…
(But I’m talking to a wall…)
[BUBBA BUBBAPHANT, (CATNAP)]
I got an F?! I really bombed…
(At least a few of them are mild…)
[KICKIN CHICKEN, (CATNAP)]
NO PLEASE DON’T FRY ME UP LIKE MOM!!!
(But I’m sure to be reviled)
[DOGDAY, Spoken]
I’m so sorry Critter Crew…
[DOGDAY]
I couldn’t save any of you…
…
Catnap?-
[CATNAP, Spoken]
…
Good
They’re still asleep…
If I’m lucky
They’ll think all of this was just a bad dream…
Even me…
(Catnap accepts his life as a stray…)
Farewell, Smiling Critters…
[ALL EXCEPT DOGDAY AND CATNAP, Spoken]

[CRAFTYCORN]
Please be a part of the team!
[KICKIN CHICKEN]
I won’t complain anymore!
[HOPPY HOPSCOTCH]
We’ll let you finish our days!
[PICKY PIGGY]
We know that’s what you like best!
[DOGDAY, Spoken]
It’ll be okay
(A Sleepy Secret Kept)
[ALL EXCEPT CATNAP]
