I never considered myself fat, although I never hesitated to take an extra slice of lasagna now and then. But what is concerning me is that I am not able to see my back legs. I try to bend over to touch them but got stuck in a weird position. Maybe I am slightly chunky….

(text-colour:black)[As i walk through the park, I occasionally stop to smell the flowers. None compare to what I've smelled earlier. Regardles of that, a stroll through the park is indeed a soothing affair. A birds song reaches my ears and a slight smile forms on my face. I can still hear honking and sirens from the city which almost overpowers the bird but hey, it's something. The song also reminds me of my quest at hand and the one singer i truly pursue. Just walking the pathway I've almost reached the end of the small park, where to go now?

Where should I start? I might look extraordinarily confused because suddenly a huge figure appears right before me. He is smiling at me and scanning my body with his eyes. I breathe in as hard as I can, trying to hide my fat belly. “You can do it, don’t listen to the negative.” He says. Awkwardly I look up at this stranger. “Lift heavy today if you want strength tomorrow.” He continues. “Do you want me to show you around?”. His smile and confidence convinces me. “Sure” I stutter.

(text-colour:black)[Silently, I move after them into the pathway behind the gym.

(text-colour:black)[Intrigued I enter the building after them. The interior hall is majestic. Inside a noble looking cat comes to me and gracefully shakes my paw. “Good morning dear friend, do you want to explore the mysterious world of music or are you a well-known master whom we will be honored to listen to?” “I want to become a musician. I have a dream of getting on a big stage and performing.” I answer. “Let me call mister Catterson. He is a professional in spotting talent. Oh, look here he is!” An elderly looking cat approaches us. “Good morning blessed souls!

(text-colour:black)[Ugh. The mere prospect of digging through this conglomeration of plastic bags and rotten food makes me reconsider whether this is really worth it.

Well, where do we start here? I could go straight for the big container and dig in, though if I’d just loot a small trash can I'd certainly be over and done with this a lot quicker. Oh? What's this! Something in the container appears to be moving! What kind of vile creature could be causing this! I don’t think i really wanna find out to be honest, the trash can suddenly seems like a much safer option… [[LETS SEE WHO OR WHAT THIS MYSTERIOUS GARBAGE MONSTER IS!]] [[N-N-N-NOPE! I'LL GO WITH THE TRASH CAN.]] [[TIME TO HIGHTAIL IT OUT OF THIS PARK!->CityStart]]

As I approach the violently shaking dumpster I begin to get doubts about the sanity of my decision. Then suddenly, the shaking stops. I hold my breath as a small shadow first peeks from the lid and then elegantly jumps right in front of me. “Hey man, name’s Jay. Whatcha want with my dumpster?” I stare straight into two small black eyes and a painfully smug face. A racoon! The shadiest of all citydwellers, the mask of a criminal painted straight on their face by nature's graces! “I...I don't know in all honesty. Apologies if I intruded on your domain. I was just looking for...something...to help me I guess.” “Help you with what?” he snarkily replies. “We all need help with somethin and there always is someone who might just be able to help. For the right price that is.” “Well...I'm looking for a way to make my beloved fall for me... or franky even just reach her.” “And you're looking for answers to these kinda questions in a dumpster? And what's that with being unable to reach her, i need some facts to help you here man.” “She doesn't really...know me. I've seen her on television, she performs on Broadway. And sadly a...//commoner//... like me is not allowed in that establishment." “Ooooh, I know just what girl you're talkin about! And I might just have an idea how to help you with that! Come, hop up into my container and we can talk this over!.” [[JUMP INTO JAYS CONTAINER AND HAVE A TALK]]

(set: $countryroads to true) Ah. This fine specimen of a garbage depository unit seems to be significantly less...lively that the big one over there. Good. So what do we have here… A broken mirror, some dog treats that look like someone tried to smoke them, an empty bottle with a big 12 on its front. It still smells kinda strong, I wonder what was ever in there... Ah! A piece of just slightly rotten lasagna! How delicat! Oh and what's that over there? A ripped down poster of a music show? Might it even be the one my love partakes at Broadway? … Nnnnope, doesn't look like it. “Senór Cattison in: The puss of the prairie”. Seems to be a Country-Inspired Musical. The cat on the poster seems really into it. I wonder why it's in the trash… Hm, there seems to be nothing more of note in here. At least I got to taste a bit of lasagna, regardless of how stale it was. Anyway, where to go? [[OVER TO THE CITY->CityStart]] [[KEEP STROLLING THROUGH THE PARK->NO! I WON'T LET SUCH NONSENSE DISTRACT ME!]]

As I jump into the container, a wave of most vile smell hits me. Well, it's a container full of trash after all, I don't really know what I was expecting other than that. “Take a seat, friend.”, the raccoon says, pointing towards a small red pillow that I'm sure used to be very comfy a few decades past. Now it has parts of it ripped out at the side and has weird stains all over it. A wooden plank on a small pile of garbage that roughly resembles a table lies next to it and…”Jay” takes a seat on the opposing side. “So, you are looking for love, friend. I do know ways I could arrange you meeting your flame on Broadway and even with a bit more...experience.” “How would you intend to achieve that, I doubt you would have much more luck with the guard dogs than I do. And what do you mean with “More experience”?” “Oh, there are ways into places that are not guarded by grumpy guards. Where there’s a will, there is a way, you know. And about the experience part, what makes you think she'll fall for you right there? No offense, but she doesn't even know you, friend. A bit of practice in the Art of…”applied romance” would certainly be helpful in winning her. And it would also conveniently repay the debt of getting you into Broadway to begin with.” “So what do you say ,friend?” The realization what kind of stains are on the pillow I'm sitting on hits me as I'm trying to think of a polite answer to such a daring proposal. This whole affair is clearly a most insulting assault on my dignity but on the other hand it would also be a guaranteed way into Broadway… [[NEVER! THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY!]] [[I GUESS ITS MY BEST SHOT AT REACHING HER->AGREE JAY PROPOSAL]]

“I'm sorry sir but I think I'm not exactly...cut out for that line of work.” “Oh come on dear friend, it's easy and fun! Just help with my business for a little bit and I'll make your dreams come true as a reward!” Their voice grows more seductive and kind of...threatening as they speak. Like they are trying to cast a spell on me. [[NO, NEVER. I BETTER GET AWAY FROM THIS CROOK NOW.]] [[FIIIINE, I GUESS IT'S THE BEST OPTION HERE, NO MATTER HOW DEGRADING.->AGREE JAY PROPOSAL]]

Upon hearing me speak, I can see their smile grow wider and wider. “Great answer my friend! Come on out of here then, we have places to go!” I hop out of the container and follow him through the back of the park. As we enter a rundown alley and there are flashing neon lights and loud music all around me I ask myself whether I just made a terrible mistake. [[FOLLOW JAY->PORN PATH INTRO]]

“My deepest apologies but this just isn't me. If you may excuse me now.” I jump up to leave the trash can but something drags me down at my tail! “Oh no, friend. I don't think you are excused.” The foul scoundrel is grabbing my tail and dragging me back down into their trash ridden hellhole! “If you don't just volunteer, well. That won't change much, friend. Now be a good kitty and come back down here.” [[KICK THE EVILDOER IN THE FACE AND RUN]] [[POUNCE DOWN ON THE VILLAIN]]

A spark started a whole fire in our furry bodies. We almost forgot to breathe. It was a delightful night. We fell asleep on one of the couches in the recreation room. He is sleeping peacefully hugging me with his tail and paws.

After my initial military training I'm off to my first job, flying to Catanistan. I am scared and wondering why I am doing this. Every day in the midst of catabombs, claws and fangs, I think of her. My diva lady is waiting for me in broadway. Deep in thought of her I don't notice how an officer spills on me his disgusting soup he just took from the military kitchen. He never apologizes to me. Some fellow soldiers carry a wounded cat to the hospital tent. This place is driving me craaaazy... [[IT MAY BE COWARDISH TO RUN AWAY BUT AT LEAST IT GETS ME OUT OF HERE AND SAVES MY DEAR SKIN!

All right, if no one sees, no one will probably ever remember I was here…. I hide in the night behind a camp toilet. As the night comes and everybody falls asleep, I silently go out of my hiding place. Just a few more steps to the border of the camp and then I am free! Oh how much I miss my cozy home, chilling by the tv with a slice of pizza and a tasty cataco. Suddenly I hear steps. OH. NO. The officer woke up!! He is right on the way to the toilet! Why does he have to shit at that time?! Oh no. He noticed me. What should I do? [[OH NO, I BETTER RUN!]] [[OK MAN, YOU GOT THIS. JUST TELL HIM YOU'RE GOING TO THE TOILET.]]

Days go by in fights and training. I feel my muscles grow. I feel the sights of fellow soldiers directed to me. Some are impressed, some are jealous, some are confused. I improved in every way possible, developing my skills in countless hours of training. [[KEEP GOING FURTHER!]]

I run as fast as my paws can carry me. “AN IMPOSTOR IS AMONG US!! CATCH HIM!!!” The scream echoes through the night and awakes the soldiers from their dreams. I hear gunshots and yells behind me, can i make it away? Too late i realize what direction im headed, the groundworks! I see the hole in front of me too late and trip right into it. I fall perfectly on my feet with my natural talent but I am now i a deep hole with no way to climb out. "See, thats what happens to idiots and cowars", i hear the voice of the officer say outside.” [[CAN I EVER GET OUT OF HERE?]]

I am s-s-orry… I just really need to pee. Yeah. Pee. Very urgent. “ I run to the toilet. He frowns at me suspiciously.

(text-colour:black)[I once again try squeezing my bodyfat through the door. The entrance suddenly seems impossibly small. How can this be? Is it even physically possible to get fat so fast? I feel the sweat running down my forehead, slowly crawling down my neck until it eventually gets stuck in one of the many fatfolds I seem to have developed. A waiter must have approached me from the back, I am physically unable to see him in my inability to turn around, though I can hear a slightly snarky voice behind me. "Feeling a bit stuck? Unable to get over your issues? Well, your state is certainly speaking volumes about that. You have some massive problems if I've ever seen some." His mockery is silently making me tear up. At least he cannot see it with the wall of fat in between out faces. "I dont think I can help you out of that captivating situation, even if I wanted to. I regret to inform you sir: You are eternally stuck." ] [[ACCEPT YOUR FATE->geh abnehmen]]

I deliver a magnificent roundhouse kick to the face of the crooked criminal. His grip loosens and I use the opportunity to leave his hideous hideout and make a run for it. I hear a roar of frustration behind me, and as I turn around I spot the raccoon laying chase to me! Oh no, where to run? [[BACK THE WAY I CAME]] [[INTO THE THICKET]]

I pounce down with the full weight of my body, extend my claws and deliver first a swipe and then a herculean punch that I can feel vibrate through the bastard's skull. Then, before the crooked criminal has a chance to regain their senses, I take a leap out of his lousy domain. As I begin to run, I can hear a frustrated roar behind me. He is laying chase! Where to run? [[BACK THE WAY I CAME]] [[INTO THE THICKET]]

(text-colour:black)[The park just flies by me as my feet carry me like the wind. I hear screams far behind me but I do not dare turn around. Oh no, I’ve reached the edge of the park! But where to run now? I could run back home, though if the crook were to follow me he would know my residence and perhaps just come back later! The alternative would be attempting to climb the massive wall separating the city's center from the park. A daring endeavor surely, but maybe with the power of desperation I could do it.] [[ALL THE WAY BACK TO MY COZY HOME]] [[UP THE WALL, I DON'T THINK THE RACOON COULD GET PAST THIS!]]

I take a sharp turn and dash into the bushes. I run as fast as I can, following a zig-zag path to lose my pursuer whose voice grows more and more silent until it eventually stops. Did he give up or is it a mere trick to make me feel safe? I do not know. The terrain is slowly taking its toll on my inside-cat stamina. Can i rish hiding in a place like this or should I keep running? [[THIS BUSH OVER THERE SEEMS LIKE AN EXCELLENT HIDEOUT]] [[NO, I HAVE TO KEEP GOING]]

(text-colour:black)[Ah, the safety of my native territory, my neighborhood! I haven't heard the villain behind me in quite a bit but the rhythm of the sprint carries me fast, all the way to my house. I don't even open the door, I just leap straight into the cat flap at full speed. Suddenly, I grind to a halt. I am...stuck? I haven't used the cat flap in a while but I didn't realize I had gotten that fat over the years. As I am there, front half in my home and my behind stuck and exposed I hear a panting breath coming closer to my immobilized self. With the voice of my beloved running on the tv in the living room, I lower my head and accept my fate.] [[TAKE WHAT IS COMING]]

(text-colour:black)[I struggle every step of the way as I force myself up this massive brick wall but the fear of a hunted prey gives me the strength to ascend it. And there I see it! The city square, just down the road! I did it, I escaped the criminal trash dweller! I spit one last time into the general direction of his container and jump down on the other side of the wall to return to the civilization inside the city center.] [[TO THE CITY!->CityStart]]

I take a leap of faith into the bushes at full velocity. A mistake as it turns out. The thorns bury themselves in my skin as I slide all the way down to the stump of the bush. A brambleberry! And a particularly spiky one at that! As I look around in my tiny enclosure I realize the bush is growing in a small depression. Great. Stuck in a hole below a bush full of spikes. At least that stupid raccoon wont find me down here and i have plenty of berries to eat. Defeated, I lay down to lick my wounds and surrender to the spikey embrace of the thorns. //Ending 7: The Thorns Embrace//

My breath gets more and more heavy as I zoom through the forest. It has been long since the last time I've heard my pursuer. Shouldn't it be safe to take a small break. I see a massive oak tree in front of me. I could easily climb up its rough old bark and take a rest, high above the ground. I even see a small bird nest up there! On the other hand I do not know how far the scoundrel is truly behind so should I risk it? [[CLIMB THE TREE AND TAKE A REST]] [[I MUST KEEP RUNNING]]

(set: $haskazoo to true) I quickly climb up the old oak and lie down on one of its big, strong arms. Looking down I see no sign of my nemesis, though I constantly hear the sounds of the forest around me and I'm unsure how to interpret many of them. I decide to check out if there's maybe some juicy fresh eggs in the bird's nest I saw earlier. Upon reaching it I am disappointed though. No eggs, just loads of shiny junk. It must belong to a magpie, the thief of the skies! This entire park is full of criminals! Looking through the contents of the nest I notice a little pipe and pick it up. A kazoo! I take a blow in it and its shrieking noise echoes through the forest. I slap myself. I am an absolute idiot. Now the raccoon knows for sure where I am. I haven't really had time to recover my stamina yet but should I run now, before the evildoer catches up to me? //YOU NOW HAVE A KAZOO// [[I SHOULD RELAX, LET'S JUST WAIT AND RECOVER]] [[I SHOULD RUN WHILE I CAN->NO WAY I CAN CLIMB THIS, I'LL HAVE TO KEEP RUNNING UNTIL EXHAUSTION]]

I keep running until I’m almost exhausted. Much longer and I won't be able to run anymore. But hey what's this? A big wall! I've reached the edge of the park and behind the wall I can hear the relative safety of a busy city. Only problem is the wall. With the current state of my stamina it will be rather difficult to climb, though i doubt i can run further anyway. So what should i try? [[THE CITY IS SO CLOSE! I HAVE TO TRY AND CLIMB THIS THING->UP THE WALL, I DON'T THINK THE RACOON COULD GET PAST THIS!]] [[NO WAY I CAN CLIMB THIS, I'LL HAVE TO KEEP RUNNING UNTIL EXHAUSTION]]

I feel my strength getting weaker with every other step I take. My panting breath and shaking breast speak volumes about my ability to keep going. I force myself to keep going but to no avail. I break down just besides a small creek. After I cherish the cool water for a few blissful moments I crawl into a small hole below the near bushes and immediately fall asleep from pure exhaustion. //Ending 8: Take it easy sometimes//

I sit and duck silently on top of that tree, kazoo in hand but the anticipated threat never shows itself. First minutes pass. Then hours. Eventually I get up, strength restored, and climb to the very peak of the tree to find a way to go. I spot the skyscrapers of the city to the east. Finally! Civilisation! I jump down to the ground and begin to run into the direction of the peaks. First I'm back in the park, then at its entrance and a crossroads. Do I go to the city, or do I return to my cozy home? After all, I've had enough adventures for one day. Though, after escaping that vile scoundrel of a raccoon, I'm full of energy to find love and affirmation!

Ow, such a noisy place this is! My ears begin ringing from the loudness of this "music" as i follow my guide who seems to feel right at home here. Eventually Jay approaches a door at the end of an alley, it seems as if he is saying something but it is impossible to understand even a word. [[FOLLOW JAY]] [[STAY A WHILE AND TRY TO ENJOY THE MUSIC]]

(text-colour:black)[I follow him into the room, I’m a bit afraid of what awaits me in there, I never had any experience regarding that kind of stuff. This room looks like a studio with a sofa in the centre, on it sits a Shiba surrounded by a few very pretty Poodles, he gets up to greet Jay. “Hey buddy, how’ve you been, long time no see! Who’s that you’ve got with you?” “Fresh meat I found; he’ll be working for us for a bit until we help him get this girl from Broadway.” “Wait, are you talking about the Broadway girl? That’s quit the goal you have there kid, I like you and I think she will like you to so I’m doing you a favour here and I will help you.” “Although I have something else in mind for you that our usual work. Say kid, you don’t happen to be familiar with the production of Catnip, in case you don’t you can help me with a special photoshoot, and you pay us back that way.”] [[I'M QUITE FAMILIAR WITH CATNIP, ILL HELP YOU MAKE IT]] [[ILL GO WITH THE PHOTOSHOOT]]

Jay just disappeared into the backroom, but he didn’t even notice that I didn’t follow him. All of a sudden, the music stops, and someone shouts: “THE COPS ARE HERE, EVERYBODY RUN!!!” Oh no the horny police are here, they will probably check if I have my horny license. Did I remember to bring it with me before I got here. I can’t be caught without it at a place like this. (if:$HornyLicense is true)[ [[NO PROBLEM, ILL JUST SHOW MY HORNY LICENSE]]] [[I MUST MAKE A RUN FOR IT!]] [[I BETTER DONT MOVE, MAYBE THEY WONT NOTICE]]

(text-colour:black)[“Wonderful, we can start immediately, lay on the sofa and show me your feet!” “Wait, what?” It just dawned on me what kind of photoshoot this is, I should have run while I had the chance. I’ll just close my eyes and hope it’s over soon. “I got the pictures I wanted, you’re free to go now.” “Will you help me now?” “Hm? Ah yes, I almost forgot about that. I know about this casting call that’s going on at the moment. I could pull some strings and put you in there.” “Yes, that would be amazing.” One of the Shiba’s henchmen drops me of at the casting call. I sit in the waiting room until I get called for the performance but one of the agents stops me. “I can immediately see that you never acted before, what are you doing here?” “To be honest, I have this crush on this girl that works at Broadway and I don’t know how to approach her. But of course, I also want a career at Broadway, I’m just not sure at what…” “Well kid, it’s your lucky day. We are actually looking for someone with a pretty face for an assisting role. You seem quit charming and this role shouldn’t be too hard for a beginner. I was once in your position too, young with wild dreams, so I want to give you a chance. Don’t screw this up, good luck!” ] [[FINALLY! THE FINISHLINE IS IN ARMS REACH!->PornBroadway]]

Of course, I came well prepared; I just have to stay calm and not seem suspicious. One of the officers notices me and approaches. “Sir, we will need to see your horny license to verify that you have authorization to be here” “Of course, officer, here it is” Good, everything seems to be fine. Maybe I should get my horny ass out of the ruckus and find Jay. [[I SHOULD CATCH UP WITH JAY->FOLLOW JAY]]

Silently, very silently I try to sneak past the cops. I hear barking, god dammit I didn’t think they would have dogs with them, of course they can sniff me out from miles. Quickly I rush into hiding. Over there are some big speakers, maybe I fit behind them. [[I SHOULD HIDE BEHIND THESE SPEAKERS!]] [[I SHOULD GET OUT OF THIS CLUB IMMEDIATLY!]]

Oh no, they approach me. “Sir, we will need to see your horny license to verify that you have authorization to be here” “I don’t need one, I’m not horny” “I’m guessing your bulge then indicates that you are happy to see us?” What are they talking about, I look down. I’m shocked as I see in what condition my crotch is in, maybe this is the beginning of a new fetish. “Sir we will have to take you with us” [[ACCEPT YOUR FATE]]

Over at the stage behind the speakers I should be safe. I hold my breath when I notice that an officer is almost right next to me. Oh God, maybe they’ll see me, they can’t catch me, I’m too young for prison! On the other side of the room I see a table with a cloth over it, maybe I can hide there. [[I SHOULD STAY WHERE I AM]] [[BENEATH THIS TABLE SEEMS A SAFE SPOT]]

I book it for the exit, but the dogs start chasing me. Outside you see dozens of police cars, all seemingly blocking any kind of exit from this situation. [[I NEED TO GET PAST THEM! MY CHANCES ARE SLIM BUT I MUST TRY!]] [[NO WAY I GET THROUGH THERE, HIDING IN THAT ALLEY OVER THERE IS MY BEST SHOT]]

I can hear their footsteps getting closer and closer. Maybe I made a mistake, I should have moved when I had the chance. Ah wait… they already passed by me, I guess this wasn’t such a bad hiding spot after all. I’ll wait just a bit more until they are gone and then I’ll make my way to the room Jay disappeared into. [[I SHOULD CATCH UP WITH JAY->FOLLOW JAY]]

Now is my last chance. I sprint across the room and slide beneath the table. I hear footsteps approaching, suddenly the cloth gets lifted as an officer says: “You’re a new kind of stupid, you think I didn’t just see you run across the room?” Maybe the table wasn’t such a good idea after all. [[TRY TO ESCAPE!]] [[TALK TO THE HORNY POLICE->TRY TO ESCAPE!]]

There is no escape. These filthy brutes grab me and begin their questionare... “Sir, we will need to see your horny licence to verify that you have authorization to be here” “I don’t need one, I’m not horny” “I’m guessing your bulge then indicates that you are happy to see us?” In shock, you look down, you didn’t even notice it until now. You cover your crotch in embarrassment.Your face turns red as you raise your view to the disappointed looking officers with a scary looking baseball bat. “Sir, we will have to take you with us” [[ACCEPT YOUR FATE]]

So this is it. Thanks to my gang, I managed to smuggle myself in this temple of the arts, this acclaimed establishment of expression, the Broadway!

I should go see her performance... or should I rather hide backstage and wait for her? [[I SHOULD HIDE BACKSTAGE TO NOT DRAW ATTENTION->I SHOULD WAIT FOR HER BACKSTAGE]] [[I MUST SEE THE PERFORMANCE!]]

I make a daring attempt at running through the barricade but I'm unable to deal with so many officers at once. They surround me and I get tackled to the ground. They begin questioning me. [[FACE THE POLICE->TRY TO ESCAPE!]]

Quickly I run to the closest alley I can find and behind some trash cans. The awful smell reminds you of Jay, without him, you wouldn’t have ended up in this situation. After the situation calmed down and the police leave, I make my way back into the club to search for that goddamn raccoon.

I walk down the corridor, with my heart slid down into my trousers. I see other people, sad and scared faces leaving a room at the end of the corridor. Is this the door separating me from my fate? I enter it and take a seat. A few minutes pass until my number is called up. As I enter the next room I am finally facing the council of examiners. And still, there’s this one idea floating around in my head… No, I have to stay focused. Where was I?

A cardboard box, and in excellent shape! I cannot overcom my feline nature, i must jump into it! A painful landing later, I realize the box was already fulled with all kinds of junk and a note on top: "Take whatever you want." As i look through the box my eyes catch a glimpse of a true gem among the filth: A bongo! The most rythmic of instruments for sure. //You now own a bongo “HEY YOU!!! WHAT DO YOU GOT THERE?

I BETTER RUN!]] [[A TRUE MAN DOESNT RUN, I SHALL STAND MY GROUND AND FACE THEM!]] (if:$hasCatnip is true)[ [[HOPEFULLY I CAN BRIBE THEM WITH MY CATNIP]]]

(text-colour:black)[I start sprinting as fast as I can towards them, but they don’t seem to get out of my way. With a spectacular manouvre I make a wall jump and pass right above their heads to my freedom. I continue running but it doesn’t seem as if they are following me, maybe my most impressive abilities scared them off. As I continue you see the café right in front of me.] [[ENTER THE CAFE->CafeStart]]

I arch my back up high to make yourself seem bigger but then you realise your mistake. I'm alone and they outnumber me. Even in a one on one i would barely stand a chance, I'm a house cat and these are street hardened strays. The pain of claws and teeth buries itself deep in my skin as my vision begins slowly fading and is replaces by a void of black and red. //Ending 9: Well, what did you think would happen?//

“I guess it’s worth a shot.” They bring you to a place which looks like a studio, where a Shiba is sitting on a sofa. He gets up to greet the other cats. “Oh my do you have a new member to your group?” “No Boss, we found him in an alley and he told us if we’d help him get to Broadway, he’d help us with our little drug problem.” [[FOLLOW THE SHIBA->I'M QUITE FAMILIAR WITH CATNIP, ILL HELP YOU MAKE IT]]

(text-colour:black)[So be it, through my knowledge in the art of love I will possibly not fail to convince the jury that I am the right one for this role. Or am I? Is playing the “hot lover” not exactly what applies to my core competence? Or is it not rather my background that is probably even diminishing my chances? They might even laugh if I tell them... My doubts are inimaginable but can I leave everything behind when I came this far? ] [[I... SIMPLY… CAN’T. THIS IS TOO MUCH PRESSURE. BACK TO MY OLD LIFE THEN…]] [[I MUST DO IT!]]

(text-colour:black)[So be it. This is my only chance to meet her! But am I the right one for this role? My legs begin to tremble but ultimately I take the courage to get through this. After all I will give my best to do justice to my assigned role. The emotions change through this short chapter, like the seasons throughout the year. From one extreme to the other. I feel pain, remorse, anger but also childish joy, as if they were my very own feelings. Finally the scene ends in a tragic situation, I burst into tears and take the poison to end it all. The examiners are rejoicing, applauding, thrilled by my performance they yell “This is the one! THIS IS THE ONE!”. I get the role immediately to the displeasure of my competitors. They invite me to the rehearsal the following day, where I will finally meet her.] [[FINALLY! I'M SO CLOSE!]]

(text-colour:black)[So be it. I have to do something, my legs begin to tremble, I can’t control myself. I simply can’t perform in such circumstances. So everything will be for nothing? No that can’t be. I have to reduce my stress levels, or I’ll fail miserably. As silly as it sounds, but I start telling jokes. I do smalltalk with the council to loosen up the tension. And it works! I’m really getting into it, talking about my journey, about my home, about the silly everyday accidents in life. And I am really enjoying myself… Until one of the members interrupts me abruptly. “Now, this was quite fun but time’s running out. We only have 5 minutes left but perhaps you could still show us the second half of the third chapter?” I’m trying to piece it back together. “Ye.. yes, I can do that”. Surrendering to the situation, I finally start playing. The council is visibly not impressed. I realize it, I failed. My life, shattered before my eyes.] [[DID I FAIL? IS THIS THE END?]]

(text-colour:black)[The examiners are flattered by my performance, I get the role immediately to the displeasure of my competitors. Being invited to the rehersal the following day, I enter the great hall. There I see her… She... she’s just beautiful. But what does she do in this place, is she not invested in much more important things than this prestigious yet obscene play? The same second it appears cristal clear to me. No, it has to be, SHE is the ominous co-actor everyone was mumbling about! Then it happens, act 2, the first kiss scene. I give everything, invest every last bit of my expression. Is this even real? My love surely is. Thinking “now or never”, I whisper in her ear, asking her for a date. She simply giggles, then looks deep into my eyes. ] [[IS SHE JUST PLAYING WITH ME? OR DID I FAIL...?]]

//Ending 16: Why give up on the finish line?//

(text-colour:black)[After the rehearsal she disappears as fast as she had appeared. My sadness of having lost this chance overcomes me, was this journey for nothing after all? Was I simply acting too stiff, or even worse, did she get annoyed by my effusive character? That moment my phone begins to vibrate, an unknown number appears. I pick up. It’s her... ] [[YES! BUT WHAT DO I SAY???->11.1]]

(text-colour:black)[A few weeks passed and this is the final rehearsal before we present the play to the public. Act 5, the last scene is getting to its end, the rehearsal is almost over. Once again I give my very best. Life is fainting from my body, I’m dying in her arms. Then the play finally closes with this remorseful feeling in the spectator’s gut. The regisseur is visibly happy. He approves: “I have no complaints, we’re in fact ready for the stage, well done”. That moment she approaches me, complimenting my work. I am happy for her appreciation. We start talking for quite a while, but ultimately she has to leave for another appointment, so I also decide to head home. I start thinking, if this was not a missed chance to ask her out for a date. That moment my phone begins to ring, an unknown number appears. I pick up. It’s her. She tells me that she had been displaced and would like to see me... ] [[THIS IS MY CHANCE!->11.1]]

.Well, there are always unexpected twists in life and this one is not different. The five minutes passed by now, and we’re getting in the feedback phase. They tell me what I expected to hear. I did not even perform that bad, but compared to what they expect? Not good enough. Then one of the council members seizes the word: “But we liked your little comedy session, you really have talent. We will give you a chance. This time.” My eyes start glowing again, might this be? “So do I still have a chance?”, I’m asking. “Yes but not with acting. Go to the comedy department, fourth floor, Room 12-C, alright? You’ll find my colleague there, tell him I’m sending you, he can help you.” [[I GUESS THATS MY BEST CHANCE NOW. I BETTER MAKE IT COUNT.]]

(text-colour:black)[And now? I briefly met her multiple times in the corridors. She seemed to be interested in what I was doing and I even got a role in a comedy play. Today is my first big performance and I managed to invite her, even gave her my number, but will she come? It’s evening now and I’m entering the stage. I start my programme as usual, then I see her in the audience. I allow myself a short moment of absence, admiring her beauty. People don’t notice a thing and the evening goes on. I tell dumb jokes all the time, and people are loving it! After the performance, she simply disappeared. Sadness overcomes me, but then I see something. “What’s this?” I find a small piece of paper, pushed through the crack of the door. There’s a number on it. I don’t hesitate to call it. It’s her...] [[THIS IS MY CHANCE!->11.1]]

(text-colour:black)[It went great. It was a good decision after all not to get distracted by her before this important performance is over for good. Afterwards there will be plenty of time to talk. Or that’s at least what I thought. After the performance, she simply disappears. I search for her everywhere, but I can’t find her. Sadness overcomes me, did I possibly miss my only chance to meet her? Then I realize the hard truth: I failed. I should not have waited. My life, shattered before my eyes. Is this the end? ] [[NO! IT CANT BE.]]

(text-colour:black)[We arrange each other, get ready to perform. The crowd is getting silent, the spotlights are shining at us. She’s looking at me, then I seize the chance. I whisper to her:] [[[YOU ARE MY LOVE, DARLING->YOU ARE MY LOVE, DARLINGs]] [[YOU ARE LOOKING BEAUTIFUL TODAY->YOU ARE MY LOVE, DARLINGs]]

(text-colour:black)[I get back to the dressing room. But what’s this? I find a small piece of paper, pushed through the crack of my door. There’s a number and a small note on it: “I had to leave early, I regret that I couldn’t talk to you. You played wonderfully. I would like to meet you after all of this is over, tonight. Call me.” I don’t hesitate to call it. It’s her... ] [[WHAT DO I SAY???->11.1]]

(text-colour:black)[Hello? Hi.. I stutter and feel my voice getting husky and squeaky from nervousness. Oh great, I was worried you would not answer. I think … I don't know.. I have never felt something like this before. Today was just… amazing. With you… I feel so easy. I feel same. Would you like to come over? Can we meet in my dressing room? I will be there as soon as I can. She hangs up. I can't believe what is happening. My mind goes blank from excitement. ] [[RUSH TO MEET HER]]

(text-colour:black)[She looks deep into my eyes, then she smiles at me. She seems pleased. I start playing. I give everything, invest every last bit of my expression. Eventually the evening got to an end. It went great and afterwards we talked as if we knew each other forever. Is this even real? My love surely is.] [[WHAT DO I SAY???->11.1]]

(text-colour:black)[I enter the great hall just in time to find a seat. The lights are dimming down, the audience is getting silent. Then there she is, all spotlights on her. She’s even more beautiful than I ever imagined. The play is tragic but heart warming, then she begins to sing in her angel's voice. The audience is touched. Finally the curtains close. The play has reached its end, so I decide to find her at the bar. She’s talking to a colleague not noticing me. I’m deciding what to do.] [[MY CHANCE! I MUST TALK TO HER]] [[I SHOULD WAIT FOR HER BACKSTAGE]] [[I SHOULD SPICE UP HER DRINK WITH MY CREATION.]]

(text-colour:black)[I take up all my courage and decide to talk to her. We have a great conversation. I tell her about my scientific background and how she inspired me for this achievement. She looks at me, not knowing what she should say. Does she think I am weirdo? Most probably. But I can’t lose the feeling that she likes me. We kept talking for the whole evening. ] [[IT'S ALMOST TOO PERFECT, LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE.->11.1]]

I enter backstage. Thankfully the guard is asleep so I can silently pass by. If they find me here I’m done, I need to be careful. I enter a long corridor with multiple doors. As I look around the corner I see a guard coming my way. Quick, I have to do something! [[THE DOOR ON THE RIGHT!]] [[THE DOOR ON THE LEFT!]] [[I SHOULD PRETEND I BELONG HERE.]]

(text-colour:black)[In all of my fixation for the goal I didn’t realize what kind of crazy maniac I have become. I really put something in her drink, cold-blooded without any doubts. So I wait until she goes to her dressing room. When I hear her voice approaching I will take my chance. Then it happens, she walks past me, dizzy at first, but then completely losing control. Before she falls to the ground I catch her and...] [[KISS HER]] [[CALL AN AMBULANCE]]

I manage to reach the room just as the guard comes around the corner. He doesn’t notice me and proceeds walking down the corridor. It really was the last second. The room is brightly lit in various colors, there are comfy red chairs and it even has a small bar on the right side. No one's around, yet. This must be the VIP-lounge. I walk through the room to the other side’s door. There’s a sign with “Backstage dressing rooms” written on it. It’s the right direction, this must be the way to her private quarters. Suddenly I hear her angelic voice approaching. The performance must have endet just now and she’s probably on the way to her room! Time to do something. I decide to hide behind the corner. She walks past me and doesn’t notice me. [[I NEED TO JUMP OUT AND TAKE HER NOW!]] [[I SHOULD SNEAK INTO HER ROOM BEHIND HER.]]

I leap into the room as fast as possible. It’s a toilet room. A very brightly lit one with fancy marble sinks and a big mirror. How extravagant! No one's around, yet, so I decide to hide in one of the cabins. Just in time as I close the cabin door, the guard comes in and occupies the toilet next to me. I hear him expertly crafting a big pile of dog shit. It takes not long, and the whole room smells like it. I’m visibly disgusted and try to not make a sound. [[ARGH! KEEP IT IN, DONT THROW UP!]]

I pretend to belong there, but the guard is not impressed. Not impressed at all. The moment he sees me he barks: “Hey you, where’s your badge? What are you doing here? This is VIP, you aren’t allowed back here!” [[OH NO!]]

//Ending 17: So close!//

I jump out and take her in my arms. She gives out a loud screech and pushes me away. Being shocked and confused at first, she then reacts fairly quickly. She swings her purse like a morning star and smashes it across my head. //BONK//. As i see small stars circeling before my eyes, the guards approack to take me. [[OH NO!]]

I wait until she goes to her dressing room. In all of her forgetfulness she doesn’t close the door, so I seize the chance and try to secretly sneak in. To my surprise, she still seems to not have noticed me. I hide behind the door, and take a deep breath ready to make my next step. [[I SHOULD KISS HER NOW!]] [[WHAT DO I DO? I SHOULD PRETEND I JUST ENTERED THE WRONG ROOM BY MISTAKE.]]

Carefully I leave this horrible place and walk back to the corridor, in which I was before. I take the other door and end up in a lounge. There’s a small “Backstage dressing rooms” sign beside the bar. This must be the right direction to her private quarters. Suddenly I hear her angelic voice approaching. The performance must have endet just now and she’s probably on the way to her room! Time to do something. I decide to hide behind the corner. She walks past me and doesn’t notice me. [[I NEED TO JUMP OUT AND TAKE HER NOW!]] [[I SHOULD SNEAK INTO HER ROOM BEHIND HER.]]

I leap towards her and attemp the kiss. She gives out a loud screech and pushes me away. Being shocked and confused at first, she then reacts fairly quickly. She swings her purse like a morning star and smashes it across my head. //BONK//. As i see small stars circeling before my eyes, the guards approack to take me. [[OH NO!]]

She’s confused and asks what I’m doing here. “Oh, no, paw-don me. I’m the new actor. I’m deeply sorry for any troubles madam, I thought this room was free to use. I didn’t see you in here. Where could I find the next free room?” She gives me a detailed description, afterwards we start talking. She seems to like me and proposes to show me around later. I give her my phone number. Later that day I receive a call. It’s her... [[11.1]]

(text-colour:black)[I kiss her. With her last energy she kicks me in the balls really hard and pushes me away. I cry in pain. Then she realizes what must have happened. I poisoned her. Attracted by all that noise a security guard appears. A tall, intimidating guy with lots of muscles. He looks at her, then at me, anger written in his face. He’s not impressed. Not impressed at all.] [[OH NO!]]

(text-colour:black)[After a few minutes a crowd of people has formed around the scene, the corridor is cramped. Some offer to help but at that moment the ambulance already arrives. The nurse says she’s stable but unconscious. They put her on the stretcher and carefully load her into the truck. After some arguing I convince them that I need to come along. We arrive at the hospital. I decide to... ] [[LEAVE ANYWAY]] [[WAIT AT HER BED]]

(text-colour:black)[I leave the building but leave a note with my number behind. Noone suspects me, it looks like an overdosis. The nurses said she will recover quickly. After a few days I get a call. It must be her. ] [[I NEED TO TELL HER... SHE DESERVES THE TRUTH.]] [[I CANT DO THIS. I WONT PICK THIS UP.]]

(text-colour:black)[Some Nurses and a doctor come in, start to talk. “The blood levels are good, but you got poisoned by a overdosis of cattaroin. Is there a possible way it might have entered your system, you don’t do drugs you told us, but perhaps someone malicious did it intentionally? This chemical is very rare and only part of research, is there a possible sourc..?” Then he instantly stops. He’s shocked, he recognizes me, probably from television. Shit! Yes, it’s true, I invented cattaroin and the suspicion falls on me. She looks at me, then to the doctor. “Call the police, now”. I realize what’s about to happen. Before they can react I’m out of the room. I run. I make it through the floors: Third, second, first floor. Now I just have to go through the front door, then I’m free. I run, like never before… and... I’m stuck. I try to break free but it doesn’t help at all. ] [[OH NO!]]

(text-colour:black)[I picked up the phone. But I never got the courage to tell her, so we became friends and eventually got together a few months ago. Today is our first anniversary of having met, so I couldn’t hold it any longer and had to tell her. We got into a fight, hit each other. It escalated. I prepared to hit her with a broken wine bottle but she seized the moment. Eventually she managed to grab a knife and stabbed me 7 times in the chest.] [[IT'S...FADING....]]

I choose not to talk to her ever again. My bad conscience doesn't allow me to. I forgot about women and chose a simpler life, made a fortune with cataroin. Now I’m an outlaw and roam the lands with my gang. [[NO TIME FOR MY LOVE, I LOST THAT CHANCE. THE STREET IS MY TRUE FRIEND.]]

(text-colour:red)[//Ending 18: Seven Stabs for Seven Lives. Or nine if you prefer.//]

//Ending 19: They call me Heisencat//

(text-colour:black)[After a short way back I catch a faint note of that familiar unfamiliarity again. I think I'm almost back there where i first smelled it!] [[SUCH A CHARMING SMELL. I CANT WAIT TO LOCATE ITS ORIGIN->FOLLOW THE CURIOUS SMELL]]

“Hey hey wait, I’ll give you some Catnip if you chill out.” You give them your catnip and each of them take their turn sniffing it which seems to immediately relax them. “You all seem as if you’ve seen better days, what happened to you?” “We grew up on the streets, this is all our lives have been. What is a house cat like you doing in an alley searching through boxes?” “Well there is this beautiful girl from Broadway which I saw on TV which I really want to meet, so I made my way to the city, but I’m not really sure how to find her.” “You seem like a really cool guy; you even gave us catnip. We have some connections which could help you in return for a favour.” “And what would that favour be?” “That catnip you gave us earlier, well that was pretty good stuff and we have a buddy that could really use some help with producing it.” [[TAKE THE OFFER]] [[I SHOULD RUN FOR THE CAFE NOW, BEFORE I GET INTO ANY MORE TROUBLE!->CafeStart]]

(text-colour:yellow)[//Ending 10: The sound of dissonance//]

//Ending 5: Stuck forever//

Purr-fect, now follow me, I want you to meet a few friends” He take me to a room where there are already three other cats in lab coats working on something. “These are the people which you’ll be working with. They haven’t had a breakthrough in months and I’m hoping you’ll be able to help them. I’ll leave you guys now alone to discuss your work.” Two of the cats are hairless and had tattoos all over their bodies and the other one was almost completely black except for a white spot on his nose. One of the hairless cats approaches me. “Hola amigo, it’s always good to have a new member to our gang. People know me as Mexican Mud but you can just call me Mud, this over here is my brother Loco and this is Whitenossed, I think you can see why he got that name. Let me show you what we are working on.” [["I'M NOT INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH YOU. I CAN DO THIS ALONE."]] [[THEY SEEM A BIT TOO NICE BUT I GUESS I'LL TRUST THEM FOR NOW]]

“Ehm…sure.” I look around to figure out where to start. Even though I’m no chemist, I think mixing some chemicals that are lying around will lead me to something. Wow I must be a lucky cat ‘cause after some trying, I made something that has this oh so sweet, familiar smell. “I know this smell.” I jump up and arch my back as I land. “Don’t sneak up on me like that!” “Ah sorry, I couldn’t help but notice the smell, it seems as if you made some progress. If you want to test its effectiveness, we have some test paper on which you can spread it. The darker the shade of red the stronger it is.” “Oh eh sure…” I didn’t think Mud would be so kind, that’s a bit weird for someone who works for a drug cartel. Anyway, he gives me the paper strip and I test it on my solution. It turns into a dark red. “Santa mierda, I’ve never seen such strong catnip. The boss will be pleased.” Mud goes to call the Shiba, after a while they both come rushing into the lab. [["I MADE THESE DRUGS."]] [["WE MADE THESE DRUGS."]]

They show me around the lab and all their failed experiments. I analyse some catnip to figure out its composition. As you work together in a team the others seem to enjoy your company and start opening up to you. “Hey muchacho, you know, we haven’t always been into drugs. We three were actually amigos since we were kids. We always had an interest in science which made us outcasts, so we turned to creating drugs to be more popular. But we ended up mixing with the wrong people and now we are stuck in this gang. But you seem like a nice fella. I heard you got here because you want to get with a pretty chica you saw on TV. That’s quite a risky path you’re taking to be with her. But I admire your courage.” “Hey I think I figured it out! I made catnip!” “No manches?! How the fuck did you figure it out so fast?” “Honestly I’m not sure myself but I think it’s working” I dilute a few chunks of the powder in a liquid and spread in onto a test paper. The darker the tone of red the stronger the drug. The test is blood red. “Santa mierda, I’ve never seen such strong catnip. The boss will be pleased.” Mud goes to call the Shiba, after a while they both come rushing into the lab. [["I MADE THESE DRUGS."]] [["WE MADE THESE DRUGS."]]

“I can’t believe this, you actually managed to figure out how to make catnip” “Yeah, so my part of the deal is now completed, will you help me now to get into Broadway?” “Sorry buddy, but you’re way too valuable for me to let you go now.” “Wait what!? You can’t keep me here; we had an agreement!” “Well that was before I knew you could make such strong catnip in such a short amount of time. You’re staying here. Don’t even try to leave, there are guards at every exit. I want you to make something even stronger and I won’t let you go until you made it.” That bastard, I should have known I couldn’t trust someone who is involved in businesses like this. I was only lucky last time, maybe I should have asked the others for help, they seem to have at least a bit of knowledge about chemistry. There is no use in frowning, let’s put these paws to good use. [[I GUESS I CAN GET BACK AT THIS SCOUNDREL LATER...]]

“I can’t believe this, you actually managed to figure out how to make catnip” “Yeah, so my part of the deal is now completed, will you help me now to get into Broadway and let the others go?” “Sorry buddy, but you’re way too valuable for me to let you go now.” “Wait what!? You can’t keep me here; we had an agreement!” “Well that was before I knew you could make such strong catnip in such a short amount of time. You’re staying here. Don’t even try to leave, there are guards at every exit. I want you to make something even stronger and I won’t let you go until you made it.” “How could he do this; we had an agreement.” “This way I will never be together with her…” “Hey, cheer up, the faster we develop that new drug the sooner we will get out of here.” “How do you even know if he’ll keep his promise this time?” “Honestly, I don’t know, but we don’t have much of a choice here.” We start working on developing the strongest drug we could possibly imagine. Mixing substances that I know cause strong hallucinations and give the user a strong euphoric feeling. After working tirelessly through the whole night, we finally managed to create something but now we need to test it. [[WE SHOULD TEST IT ON MICE FIRST]] [[I'LL DRINK IT]] [[I'LL INJECT IT INTO MY ARM]]

I’m feeling so tired, in this basement there are no windows, I don’t know if it’s day or night. I don’t know how long I’ve been captured here, if it’s been hours, days or even weeks. I have made zero progress overall, maybe I should give up… “Did you finish it?” I jump up and arch my back as I land. I was dreading this moment the whole time, what am I supposed to tell him? “Eh…so…actually…no…To be honest I was just lucky the last time, I don’t know how to make drugs…” He looks visibly upset, maybe it was a mistake telling him the truth. “Well you aren’t entirely worthless; I’ll let me guards take care of you.” I see two large Dobermans approaching me, I don’t even stand a chance against one of them, I tuck my tail between my legs. Wait, is one of them holding a baseball bat? They don’t seriously plan on knocking me ou- *BONK* Argh, my head hurts… where am I? Why am I laying in a bathtub…oh no… I’m bleeding…they didn’t really…I feel myself fainting again as I realize I’m bleeding out…this must be my end… [[DON'T...LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS...]]

//Ending 12: You did not deliver//

Yeah I probably shouldn’t do the first test on myself, who knows what could happen. “Let’s grab some mice to inject them with the new drug…Hm, the mice’s response seems to be fitting to what we expected, and their blood tests came back positive. This means that this is a completely new drug. I’ll give you the honours of naming it, since alone I wouldn’t have made it.” “It will be called Cataroin! [[LETS GO CALL THE SHIBA]]

“Ehh, why not, a little fun never harmed anybody.” I chug down the liquid. I feel so weird, what is this? It’s so euphoric, so light yet so strong as if nobody could do anything to me. Is that a light, am I dying? No, it can’t be, I feel more alive than ever. What is it though? I feel like I finally understand the world… I can see the truth… the truth about the universe. I understand… everything… I feel like I’m ascending . There is no need for any earthly remains…no love…no hunger…no sleep…no pain. I just have rid myself of the last ties and I will be one again. [[LET GO]]

“Well, here goes nothing.” I grab a syringe and inject the liquid into my arm. No reaction... “Maybe it didn’t work, or the doses wasn’t high enough.” No wait, what is this, every muscle in my body is aching. I’ve never suffered pain this terrible before, it feels like all my joints are being pulled apart. It seems as if the floor is getting further and further away from me. No wait this isn’t just a feeling, the floor is actually getting more distant from me. What’s happening, am I …growing? Ah! Did my head just hit the ceiling? This isn’t stopping my body from continuing to grow. I feel my body swelling and filling out the entire space of the room, but the walls won’t budge. I probably already crushed the others. AHH THE PRESSURE FROM THE WALLS IS TOO MUCH, I CAN’T TAKE THE PAIN ANY LONGER, I’M BEING CRUSHED BY MY OWN BODY. IS THIS REALLY MY END… [[BECOME ONE WITH THE RAGE]]

//Ending 13: The Prophecy is true//

//Ending 14: Utter Destruction//

I’m feeling really nervous hopefully he will keep his promise this time, but I don’t have high hopes… He arrives with two Dobermans by his side. What does he need them for, now I’m even more scared. “Incredible! Now we have an extremely strong drug that no one else knows how to produce. I don’t need you anymore now that we have Cataroin.” “Will you now help me get to Broadway?” “Ehh…no. I don’t have any more interest in you. Get out.” “What! You can’t do this again. I helped you reverse engineer Catnip and I even made you your own drug on which you now have a monopoly over.” “I don’t have any use for you anymore. Now get out before I tell these two to tear you up, all of you.” [[THIS FOUL VILLAIN. I GUESS I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GO...]]

At least we aren’t captured in this Lab of horrors anymore but I made zero progress towards my dream. “Hey buddy, we all have to thank you for getting us out of that lab. Without you we would still be stuck down there, so we want to help you, as a brother. We will smuggle you into Broadway, no matter what it takes.” Determinations fills my body, let’s go!!! Here it is: Broadway. “And what now, do you have a plan?” “Don’t worry we are prepared.” Whitenossed distracts the guards at the security gate and the rest of us sneak in. As we continue a guard spots us and Mud and I hide behind a corner as Loco distracts the guard and leads them away from us. Finally, there is an open window, Mud helps me climb inside. I turn around and wave him one final goodbye, I owe them everything, they really are like brothers to me. [[NOW, TO FIND TRUE LOVE!->DrugBroadway]]

(text-colour:black)[I hurry to the concert hall and hesitate before opening the door. I breathe in deeply and enter. Here my new life begins. She is sitting near her mirror looking right at me smiling. It takes all my worries away. I hug her tightly almost fainting from happiness. "I was looking for you for so long.", I whisper. "Really?" "It all started when I first saw you on the tv. I knew immediately, you are my twin soul. I had to find you. It was not easy and I still wonder how I have earned to meet you in person." I wrap my paw around her shoulder. What can I tell more? That night was a dream that came true. We wanted to get to know each other more and more. We kept telling each other stories about our lives. She laughed when I told her about my adventure, I almost cried when she told me her story. Right before the sunrise we fell asleep wrapped in a hug feeling happy and loved. ] [[FEEL HAPPY AND ACCOMPLISHED]]
