Are you ready to meditate with Kari?
Lay down in your bed and try and get as comfortable as you can possibly be.
Check that everything is just right in your room so that you can relax and let go of your day.
Cherry was holding a meeting with the cats,
Her sisters,
And some of her friends.
Summer,
Xenia,
And Leona were all right there listening to exactly what Cherry was talking about.
Jaylee was there and her brother Xander,
And also Alex,
Xander's friend,
Was there.
They were discussing a flash mob.
How could they possibly successfully flash mob one of their friends,
Brie?
It was Brie's birthday,
And every Friday Brie always went shopping downtown with her mom.
They figured that if they went downtown and they hid in different places around the town square,
They would get Brie's mom involved so that Brie's mom would walk her through the town square at exactly noon on her birthday.
Her mom could make up a story and say that she was taking her shopping for her birthday and she was going to buy her a new outfit,
And in the meantime,
The cats and the kids would all be there to do a flash mob.
Cherry said,
Does anyone,
Does anyone have like a really big boogie box?
You know,
Because we need a boogie box,
Don't we?
We need something that's going to play music really loud,
And I always think it's really cool when you see them,
Them kids that like walk around and they've got those music boxes on the shoulders and you're like funky and like they're dancing and like walking and they always look like so cool,
Don't they?
And no one ever does it anymore.
So,
You know,
I say we need one of them.
Summer said,
I think my dad might have got one of them in the garage.
Right then,
Said Cherry.
Find it,
Summer,
Find it.
And then,
Zennia,
You're so good at dancing.
You can learn us some dance moves and Leona,
You can learn us some dance moves.
And then,
And then Jaylee,
Zander,
Zander and Alex,
Right?
You can have like some really amazing ideas about how we can all run together and form a big mob,
Like so that we can dance in front of her.
And then,
And then,
You know,
When you do like a flash mob where you just like appear from nowhere and people start dancing on the street and it's all choreographed and stuff,
Then then we can do that.
And then all of a sudden,
What's really weird,
Which I think is absolutely awesome,
Is at the end they all just kind of disperse as if it never really happened and they all just disappear.
Heidi said,
Yeah,
That's going to be really funny.
We'll all just like jump out and do a dance and then we'll say,
Bye Brie,
Happy birthday and just kind of disappear back into the people in the crowd and she'll be like,
What just happened?
Faye said,
Can we please possibly coordinate outfits so that we all look very,
Very cool and awesome?
I was thinking,
You know me,
I have so many dress up outfits.
Maybe we could all wear those.
Cherry said,
Awesome idea,
Faye,
But you're a cat and most of these people are kids.
Are they going to get in your cat dress up outfits?
Silly Faye,
But yeah,
Faye,
Totally get it.
Good idea.
I understand what you mean.
I'll definitely wear one of your outfits and so will Heidi,
Won't you Heidi?
Heidi said,
Yes,
I will for sure.
All the kids perked up and said that they would find some kind of outfit that would go with Faye's outfits.
And of course,
We all know,
Faye wears like anything,
Glittery,
Pearly,
Shimmery,
Princessy,
Princey,
Anything romantic.
They all agreed that they probably got something at home.
Alex interrupted and said,
Would it be all right if we do some kind of like jump kicks and possibly some like forward rolls?
Xander said,
Yeah,
I like jump kicks.
Let's do some jump kicks and maybe some like karate chop punches while we dance.
Cherry said,
Awesome,
Awesome.
Yeah,
I love it.
And how about this?
How about this?
How about we do like a robot?
You know,
The robot dance.
We can like do a little bit where we all pretend we're like aliens or like robots.
And we're like,
Ee,
Ee,
Beep,
Beep,
Beep,
Beep,
Beep,
Ee,
Ee,
Ee,
Ee,
Ee,
Ee.
Heidi said,
What song shall we do it to?
They all kind of sat there for a minute and thought about the songs.
And then Cherry just burst out,
Oh,
Oh,
And Jay,
I have the perfect song.
I have the perfect song.
Has anybody heard Ed's new song?
Oh,
It's so cool.
And it's really dancey and like,
You know,
You can dance to it.
You know how sometimes Ed's songs are a little bit slow and romantic,
Which is lovely,
Isn't it?
He's so lovely.
I just love him.
I love his eyes.
I love his little ginger eyelashes.
He's so delicious.
But yeah,
Anyway,
It can be very romantic and Ed and very slow.
And you just want to smooch and like dance really slow.
But this new one's like awesome.
And it's so funky.
Be perfect,
Leona said.
That's an awesome idea.
Now all that was left was them to somehow all kind of decide on what dance moves they would like in the Flashmob presentation.
Then they also had to coordinate all the dance moves so they were all doing them in sync at the same time,
Which was going to be quite challenging.
And then they also had to make it so that not everyone was shouting orders or suggestions or like,
Listen to me,
Do this,
Do that.
No,
I don't like that dance move.
No,
I like this dance move.
My dance move's better than your dance move.
No,
My dance move's better than your dance move.
No,
If nobody does my dance move,
Then I'm going home.
You know how it can get sometimes when there's a large group of people all trying to say or think that their boss,
Instead of just taking turns and participating and possibly listening to each other's suggestions.
It can be a little bit tricky in groups sometimes.
Sometimes it's best to kind of get a natural leader that stands out in the group.
And as we know,
Heidi is very sensible and very,
Very book smart and quite calm,
Whereas Cherry,
On the other hand,
If she was the leader,
I think she would get too excited and probably like override people because sometimes she can get a little bit bossy,
But she's got intentions.
She does have a big heart,
But still her excitement overrides her ability to be compassionate about what other people say and do sometimes.
So Cherry might not be such a good leader.
Faye is a little bit meek and mild and well,
Maybe she's not very decisive.
She's too concerned with pleasing everyone.
Heidi was just perfect.
Once they got the flow of it,
They met every day for almost a week to practice and practice and practice.
They had robot moves in there.
They had some gymnastic moves in there.
They also had some kick jumps and some karate chops and some forward rolls and backward rolls.
They also had some ballerina.
Very pretty,
Very aesthetic moves in there.
Just for Faye,
Everyone was happy because they all got a little bit of what they wanted to do into the flash mob presentation.
It came to the day that it was Bree's birthday.
The cats and the kids have been downtown for quite some time.
They were all waiting in the town center right next to where Bree's mom was supposed to walk Bree by at 12 o'clock.
In the town center,
There was a big church with a clock that donged on the hour.
It was 12 o'clock.
There were 12 dongs.
OMG,
Said Cherry.
My heart's going to burst out.
Can anybody see Bree yet?
Has anybody seen her?
Why she's not here on time?
Her mom's supposed to be walking her right here now,
Right now,
Right now.
By the end of these 12 chimes,
She's supposed to be here.
What we're going to do is she don't come,
Heidi.
Oh,
No,
I don't feel.
I don't feel very good.
I feel like I'm going to pass out.
I am.
I'm going to.
Oh,
No,
I'm going to pee my pants.
I knew I should have gone to the bathroom before I started.
Oh,
My goodness,
Faye said.
It's it's OK,
Cherry.
Just calm.
Just breathe.
Just do one of your breathing exercises that Kari talks about.
Take a nice big,
Deep breath.
Everybody listened to Faye and took a nice,
Big,
Deep breath.
Some of the kids were like hopping from one foot to the other foot.
They were nervous,
Energy.
Some of the kids were very,
Very calm and chilled.
Heidi said,
Are we all ready?
Are we ready to do this?
And then just as Heidi finished saying that,
They spotted Bree and Bree's mom.
Walking towards the middle of the town square.
OMG,
Said Cherry.
Oh,
Wait,
Wait,
Wait,
Wait,
Wait,
Summer,
Summer,
Summer.
Press play on your boogie box.
Press play.
Summer,
Press play.
OMG.
OMG,
I'm so excited.
Are we ready?
Are we ready?
Every time the sun goes down.
One more second,
One more second,
Everyone.
I can feel it.
Take it,
Take it,
Take it.
Go,
Go,
Go.
The kids went for it.
The cats went for it.
It was absolutely awesome.
The robot was perfect.
The ballet jumps were perfect.
The forward rolls and the karate chops and the jump kicks were perfect.
Everyone had the biggest smiles on their faces.
They were so excited.
Bree was just stood there,
White like a ghost.
And then when she realized what was happening,
The biggest smile came up on her face and she was like,
Oh,
My goodness.
What are my friends doing?
This is like the bestest,
Bestest,
Bestest,
Bestest birthday present ever.
Bree's mum was clapping and dancing.
Bree was clapping really loud and dancing and cheering.
Go,
Friends,
Go,
Go,
Friends,
Go.
The dance routine was absolutely awesome.
And then just like that.
The music ended.
And they stopped dancing.
Cherry shouted,
Happy birthday,
Bree.
We love you.
The kids all shouted,
Happy birthday.
Heidi and Vea shouted,
Happy birthday.
And then just like that,
Just like flash mobs work,
The cats disappeared into the crowd.
And so did the kids.
Bree looked up at her mum and said,
Did you know that was going to happen?
And Bree's mum gave the biggest smile.
Yes,
Of course.
And then they went shopping for a birthday outfit for Bree.
Everyone met back at the cat's house.
When they got there,
They were all just so happy.
It went so well.
It couldn't have gone any better.
Cherry said,
You know what?
You know what?
If someone had been videoing that,
We'd have been like,
We'd have gone like viral.
We'd have gone viral,
Kids.
We'd have gone viral.
We are so talented.
I know what I'm going to be now when I grow up.
Apart from being a president and a surfer and a high jumping circus actor,
I'm going to be a flash mob,
Professional flash mobber.
I'm going to be one of them.
I wonder if you get paid for it,
Heidi?
Heidi said,
I don't think so.
I think you just kind of do it for fun,
Like a theater group or something.
Oh,
Right.
Well,
Maybe I'll go back to being a president.
But oh my gosh,
I just absolutely loved it.
It was like the bestest.
Oh,
And Summer and Xenia.
Oh,
And my little Leona.
Alex,
Xander,
You guys were amazing with your kick jumps.
And Jaylee.
Jaylee,
You were so good.
OMG,
I'm just so proud of everyone.
So tired now,
Though,
And I'm so glad it's over.
Could everyone go home now,
Please?
I love you all,
But I'd like to go and have a nice long hot bath.
And then get into bed and I have a candle,
A nice candle.
One of them flickery candles,
Though,
The battery ones,
Not a real candle,
Because I know they can be so dangerous in your bedroom.
And I would like some incense.
And then I'm just going to chillax.
I'm going to chillax and be proud of myself for being like the bestest.
Mob,
Mob,
Flash,
Flash.
No,
Flash.
No,
Mob,
Flash.
Mob,
Flash.
Flash,
Mobber.
I'm going to I'm going to do that.
Everyone went home.
Heidi,
Cherry and Vea eventually climbed into their big,
Soft,
Comfortable bed.
It didn't take very long before the cat's paws relaxed.
Their ears got twitchy and soft and relaxed.
The noses.
The whiskers.
The whole bodies relaxed and eventually fell fast asleep.
The end.
