*Our story begins on a beautiful snowy day in Hannasburg, the citizens are in the center of town, they’re talking among themselves in excitement*
Snagglepuss: Oh boy! Disguise Day is my favorite day of the year! It really gives me a chance to accessorize!
Yogi: Yep, it’s just like Halloween, ‘cept there’s no candy. Though I wish there was.
Huck: Did y’all decide on who you’re gonna fool this year?
*Vanessa smirks*
Vanessa: Oh, I sure have, but I’m not telling. It would ruin the challenge.
*Desert Flower chuckles*
Desert Flower: What a clever girl. I have a great idea of my own.
*Top Cat stands on the podium*
Top Cat: Hello, Hannasb-
*The microphone loudly screeches, everyone covers their ears, while the canines such as Augie, Doggie Daddy, Wilbur, and Loopy howl in pain*
Top Cat: Whoops! Sorry about that folks!
*He clears his throat*
Top Cat: As you all know, today is our annual Disguise Day celebration! Let’s see if you can fool your loved ones with your outfits! The one with the best disguise wins!
Huck: I can tell who any ol’ person is with just my sniffer alone, there ain’t no trickin’ me.
Desert Flower: Oh, if only he knew. *She thinks to herself*
Yogi: What’s the prize gonna be this year? Free coupons to the ice cream store?
Top Cat: The best kind of prize is a surprise! Ha!
*Riley is not impressed by this pun*
Riley: Boo.
Top Cat: Anyway, all contests better get to their dressing rooms, on your marks.
*The contestants look at each other and nod*
Top Cat: Get set, go!
*The contestants race towards their dressing rooms, in Doggie Daddy’s dressing room, he checks his backpack and his smile fades*
Doggie Daddy: Oh, fleas! I forgot to bring the extra clothes! C’mon, DD, surely you can improvise with what you’ve got!
*He finds some turquoise spray paint, a piece of paper, tape, and some scissors*
Doggie Daddy: That’s it!
*He cuts out a diamond shape in the paper and sprays his collar as well as the paper, he tapes the diamond to his collar as a makeshift tag*
Doggie Daddy: There, now I’m Scooby Doo. Or something close to that, at least.
*In Snagglepuss’s dressing room, he dyes the tip of his tail white and puts on a white sweater to look like Choo-Choo, he looks at himself in the mirror and smirks*
Snagglepuss: Heavens to Murgatroyd, I’m pretty!
*In Yogi’s dressing room, he puts on a purple tie and hat, green suspenders, baggy red pants that are clearly a bit big for him, and brown shoes*
Yogi: Now that’s what I call monkey business. I sure could go for a banana right about now.
*He tugs at his suspenders*
Yogi: These are kinda tight, but it’s gonna be worth it to pull the wool over Cindy’s eyes.
*In Vanessa's dressing room, we see her bring out this big suitcase, she opens it up, and inside is all kinds of costume supplies*
Vanessa: Ok, if I wanna fool Riley I'm gonna have to get crafty with this costume. Maybe I should pretend to be a man, but that would make disguising my voice more difficult.
*A light bulb appears over her head*
Vanessa: Unless…I don’t have to talk at all.
*She reaches into her suitcase and finds pink sunglasses, an elephant’s trunk and ears, a red hat, and a green vest, she smirks to herself*
Vanessa: Perfect.
*In Brain’s dressing room, he just puts on a red wig and nothing else*
Brain: Duhh, I’m G-G-George J-Jetson now!
*In Desert Flower's dressing room, the first thing she takes out is this perfume bottle that says Eau De Fleur*
Desert Flower: My sweet Bluestar will never find my usual aroma with this.
*She starts to spray herself with it, she fumigates herself so much that a cloud of perfume seeps out of her door and into the other contestants’ dressing rooms, it starts to fill up the rooms, leaving most of the other contestants coughing and gasping for air*
Doggie Daddy: Oh my dog…!
*He turns purple from the lack of oxygen, Yogi nearly passes out, but he puts on a gas mask and sighs in relief*
Yogi: Much better.
*The only one who doesn’t mind it is Snagglepuss, he inhales it deeply before sighing contently and grinning, his eyes are rather red*
Snagglepuss: Far out…
*The rest of the contestants burst out of their dressing room and gasp for air, we see that Vanessa is now dressed as Snorky*
Yogi: Ee-yikes! What was that?!
*Desert Flower steps out of her dressing room, she’s wearing a pink ragged dress and a pink hat with a daisy on it, much like Floral Rugg; her ears are tied up underneath her hat*
Desert Flower: The most important part of my disguise. Sorry about that, everyone.
Vanessa: It’s okay, I’m sure yours will be a success. This’ll be the last time you’ll hear me speak until this contest is over, it’s to really sell that I’m Snorky.
Doggie Daddy: Well-played!
Yogi: Yours is kinda…eh, though.
*Doggie Daddy whines a bit*
Doggie Daddy: I know, I know. If only I had remembered to bring everything.
Snagglepuss: No need to apologize, Flower, oh man, that’s the stuff. *He says in a rather delirious tone*
*Everyone looks at him weird, Desert Flower just smiles*
Desert Flower: Why, thank you, Snaggle.
*They hear Top Cat’s voice*
Top Cat: Alrighty! Time’s up! Get to your stations in the marketplace!
*With that, the contestants take off and go to various food stands, Yogi is at a hot dog stand, Vanessa is at a fruits and vegetables stand, Brain is at a fish stand, Doggie Daddy is at a bread stand, Snagglepuss is at a milk stand, while Desert Flower is at a flower stand, fitting for her name*
Yogi: Ooh, looks like I just hit the jackpot!
*There are three judges at a nearby table, Ranger Smith, Quick Draw, and Paw Rugg, the latter is asleep*
Ranger Smith: Hey! Get up!
*He elbows Paw Rugg, the latter’s eyes snap open and he mutters unintelligibly*
Ranger Smith: Look, I'm sorry to disturb you, but you need to be wide awake to judge the contest.
Quick Draw: ‘Sides, I’m lookin’ forward to seein’ how this goes.
*Top Cat’s voice is heard*
Top Cat: Alright, the first one up is Huckleberry Hound! The costumed schmuck you’ll see is at the florist’s stand!
*Paw Rugg sees Desert Flower and his eyes widen*
Paw Rugg: Uhh, Floral?!
*Desert Flower rubs her hands together*
Desert Flower: It’s workin’ already. *She says in a fake southern accent*
Riley: You've got this, Huck, good luck.
Huck: This’ll be a piece o’ cake, my ol’ nose never lies.
*He gets up from his seat and enters the marketplace, he approaches Desert Flower’s stand*
Desert Flower: Howdy there!
Huck: That’s real nice and all, but I’ve got this one in the bag. You must be-
*His eyes widen, his nose is assaulted by the strong scene of her perfume and he clutches his nose*
Huck: Hoo doggy! That’s somethin’ fierce! I can’t tell who that is unnerneath all that!
*Desert Flower is proud of herself*
Desert Flower: Wouldja like a…desert sunflower?
Huck: S-Sure, thanks.
*She hands him one*
Desert Flower: This one’s on the house.
Huck: How sweet o’ ya… *He says in a strained voice*
*He takes the sunflower and runs off*
Quick Draw: Whoa nelly, that’s a mighty fine impression.
Ranger Smith: Eh, I’ve seen better.
*When Huck gets back to the audience, he gasps for air*
Riley: Looks like a strong sense of smell won’t get you the answer each time, huh?
Huck: It’s both a blessin’ and a curse.
Top Cat: Next up is Riley Roberts! Your contestant’s waiting for you at the produce stand! They haven’t got all day!
*Riley gets herself pumped up by stretching her arms*
Riley: Ok.. I've got this, wish me luck guys.
*She rushes towards the produce stand, Vanessa waves at her*
Riley: Hey Snorky! How's it going?
*Vanessa waves at her and plays a keyboard*
Riley: A great musician, as usual. I’ll take an apple.
*Vanessa hands her one, Riley gives her a dollar, the judges are impressed, Paw Rugg mumbles again*
Quick Draw: Ya had a bad dream ‘bout the Banana Splits turnin’ to crime? That’s terrible!
Ranger Smith: Can you two focus? This contestant is so in-character, it’s terrifying.
Vanessa: This is great! I fooled her better than I thought I would! *She thinks to herself*
Top Cat: Well done! Spook, you’re up, the fish stand is awaiting you.
Spook: Like, that sounds delicious, dude.
*He saunters over to the marketplace and before he even gets close to the fish stand, he sees Brain*
Spook: Oh hey, Brain.
Brain: Duhh, how’d y-you know it w-was me?
Spook: Like, you’ve got nothin’ but a wig, man.
Brain: …Oh. Well, h-here y-ya go.
*He gives Spook some salmon*
Spook: Like, thanks, bro.
*He goes back to his seat, Ranger Smith is deeply unimpressed, even Quick Draw is rolling his eyes, as Paw Rugg just looks bored*
Paw Rugg: Meh.
Top Cat: Ooooh.. I guess that's our first loser of the day, folks. Hopefully the others can do better.
*Yogi puts a hand over his mouth and stifles a chuckle, Vanessa gives Brain a sympathetic look*
Desert Flower: You’ll have better luck next year.
*Snagglepuss is still visibly delirious*
Snagglepuss: Don’t count on it. *He says in a slurred voice*
Desert Flower: Did you have to word it like that?! *She exclaims in exasperation*
*Doggie Daddy gulps a bit*
Doggie Daddy: I don’t have the highest hopes for this costume myself.
Snagglepuss: If you can call it that. *He says in a slurred voice*
Desert Flower: I really should’ve put on less perfume, looking back.
Brain: Oh w-well, c-c-can’t w-win ‘em all.
Top Cat: C’mon up, Cindy Bear! Check out the hot dog stand!
Cindy: Oh, golly, that sounds mighty fine!
Riley: Good luck up there.
Wilbur: Hey, Zinnia, I know someone who’s a hot dog.
*Riley chuckles and blushes*
Riley: Aw, Alpine.
Loopy: Mon Dieu, you two are so sweet together.
*Cindy approaches the hot dog stand, Yogi is eating the hot dogs*
Cindy: Uh, howdy?
*Yogi continues to scarf them down, she clears her throat, he looks up*
Yogi: Uh, hey!
Cindy: Golly gee, Magilla, you've sure worked up quite an appetite.
Yogi: Well, what can I say? Gorillas gotta get their strength from somewhere.
*He beats his chest*
Yogi: Ooh-ooh, ah-ah!
*Ranger Smith cocks a brow in amazement, Quick Draw claps his hooves, Paw Rugg smiles slowly*
Quick Draw: Now this is a step-up.
Ranger Smith: I doubt anything can go wrong here.
Cindy: I’d like a hot dog with mustard, thank you kindly.
Yogi: Coming right up.
*He squirts some mustard onto the hot dog and puts it on a bun, he hands it to her*
Yogi: Here you go, ma’am.
*The straps on his suspenders then snap and his pants fall down, everyone gasps in horror, Yogi stares down in shock and then looks up at Cindy who looks equally surprised as he is*
Cindy: …Honeycomb?
*Yogi smiles nervously*
Yogi: …Surprise, Apricot.
*Quick Draw faints, Paw Rugg is clearly trying not to cringe, and Ranger Smith shields his eyes*
Ranger Smith: I will never be able to unsee that. I really should not have tempted fate.
Top Cat: Yeesh! I did not expect that! And he came so close to winning that round, too!
Yogi: Oh well, at least I got free food out of it.
Top Cat: Hopefully the next round can take our minds off that. Loopy De Loop, your post is the milk stand!
Loopy: Deliceux!
Riley: You can do it, Loopy!
Loopy: Whether or not I get it, it is all in good fun.
*He approaches the milk bar and finds the still-high Snagglepuss*
Loopy: Is zat you, Choo-Choo?
*Snagglepuss looks up and gives him a flirtatious look*
Snagglepuss: Hey good-lookin’, what's cookin’..? *He says in a slurred voice*
Loopy: Huh?
Snagglepuss: Don’t you recognize me, Charmer?
*Loopy gasps in delight*
Loopy: Oh, Snuggles! You really had me zere for a second! What a hauntingly attractive master of disguise!
*He and Snagglepuss kiss each other, everyone is touched, and even Ranger Smith is smiling*
Everyone Else: Awww!
Top Cat: Well, he might’ve lost, but who cares? This is too darn cute.
*Snagglepuss gives Loopy a glass of milk*
Snagglepuss: Here, Charmer, have some for free. *He says in a slurred voice*
Loopy: Merci, Snuggles.
Top Cat: Okay, Augie Doggie, time to visit the bread stand!
Augie: Sounds yummy!
*With a wagging tail, he approaches the bread stand, Doggie Daddy waves to him*
Doggie Daddy: Scooby Dooby Doo! *He says in a rather nervous tone*
*Augie just smiles*
Doggie Daddy: Please don’t notice, please don’t notice, please don’t notice- *He prays to himself*
Augie: Hiya, dear old Dad!
*Doggie Daddy’s ears droop and he whines*
Doggie Daddy: Ruh-roh. He noticed.
Top Cat: Big oof! He hit the nail right on the head.
*The audience groans, Doggie Daddy hangs his head in embarrassment*
Doggie Daddy: Doggone it. If I hadn’t forgotten the rest of my outfit, I could’ve gotten you for sure.
Augie: Aw, it’s no big deal. It’s not about winning, it’s about having fun, and it’s enjoyable to see everyone else compete, right?
*Doggie Daddy brightens up slightly*
Doggie Daddy: You know what, son? You’re right.
Augie: And I think you look just fine no matter how you’re dressed.
Doggie Daddy: Aw, c’mere, you sweet little pup!
*Augie jumps in his arms and hugs him, they wag their tails, the audience finds this adorable*
Quick Draw: Well, this took another sweet turn.
Ranger Smith: Once again, three…two…one…
Everyone Else: Aww!
Top Cat: Looks like that’s all our contestants for today! Time to take off your disguises!
*The contestants oblige; Desert Flower takes off her hat, revealing her long black ears, Huck gasps in surprise*
Huck: Sundrop?!
*Desert Flower giggles at this and waves at him*
Desert Flower: Hi Bluestar!
*Huck wags his tail*
Huck: Oh, ya clever girl!
*Vanessa then takes off her Snorky getup, Riley’s eyes widen*
Riley: Vanny?! Is that you?!
Vanessa: It sure is!
*Riley screams in excitement and runs up and hugs her while wagging her tail, Vanessa chuckles at this*
Riley: Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! You’re a genius!! You totally had me there!
Vanessa: I’m glad to hear it. I knew it would work swimmingly.
Augie: That’s my Aunt Nessa for you!
Ranger Smith: It seems like those two are the only ones who passed.
Quick Draw: Then I think we all know who’s gonna win first place!
Paw Rugg: Uh-huh.
Ranger Smith and Quick Draw: It’s…Vanessa Prestine!
*Everybody cheers*
Riley: Oh my dog, you did it!!
Wilbur: Good on ya!
*Vanessa chuckles modestly*
Vanessa: Oh, it was really nothing.
Top Cat: That’s right! You win a free trip to Mouseton! And the second place winner is…
Ranger Smith and Quick Draw: Desert Flower!
*Desert Flower’s expression brightens up, Huck howls in glee*
Huck: Yeehaw, Sundrop! Congrats!
*Desert Flower giggles in delight, the audience cheers*
Desert Flower: Aw, shucks, Bluestar.
Top Cat: You get coupons to Burger Queen!
*Yogi snaps his fingers in disappointment*
Yogi: Aw, nuts.
Snagglepuss: Nuts? But you’re not a squirrel, you’re a bear… *He says in a slurred voice*
*He then falls asleep, Loopy thankfully catches him just in time*
Loopy: Sacre bleu!
Desert Flower: Don’t worry, Yogi, I’ll share some of my coupons with you.
Yogi: You will? Oh, that’s real sweet of you, Flower.
Top Cat: And that’s the end of Disguise Day! See you all next year!
*The audience members start to depart, aside from the contestants and their loved ones*
Riley: Speaking of Mouseton, wasn’t Disney the studio you were supposed to be sent to at first?
Vanessa: I think it was, actually. I wonder what it’ll be like.
Desert Flower: How about we all go to Burger Queen together? Dinner is on me.
Spook: Oh, yeah, I’m, like, totally game for that.
Yogi: Yay!
*Loopy picks up the unconscious Snagglepuss*
Loopy: I think my Snuggles may not be in ze best state for zat. He’s had a long day.
*He carries his unconscious boyfriend home*
Vanessa: I’m curious, what was in that perfume?
*Desert Flower smiles nervously*
Desert Flower: Mint, lemon, and…some catnip.
Brain: Duhh, I-I thought it smelled k-kinda familiar.
*Everybody laughs, and with that, they all go to get dinner*
