There are fish in a tank on a counter top. Inside a country house with a view of the outside through a window, a living room, and a front entrance. Two gold fish (girl & boy), a male frog, and a female plecostomus are in the tank.
Female Goldie - “The cats are back!” Hear door close, Goldie starts darting around the tank and Male Gold swims towards the sound.
Male Gold - “You always say that Goldie. Look it’s just the Two Legs and some boxes”
Frogie - “Haha! It’s gets me every time! You know it’s Two Legs, but you. Haha! Still think it’s the cats!!”
Algae Eater Alie- “oh quiet now. Relax honey, there ain’t no cats. Breathe honey.” moves to the opposite side of the tank to see out towards the door.
Goldie - “Don’t laugh! It really could have been.” turns n looks at Frogie n Gold.
Gold - “How many times do i have to say it? They aren’t coming back.” angrily looking at Goldie and sighs.
Frogie - “Yea. Yea. But just look at you freak! Haha!” swims towards the bottom of tank
Algae Eater Alie - “There’s something in those boxes. I wonder -“ readjusts herself on the tank wall. All look towards the entrance where the boxes are. Human is down on ground about to open the boxes.
Goldie - “It’s the cats! IT IS! I know it is!” resumes her frantic swimming around the tank.
Gold - “IT IS NOT THE CATS. Would you just calm down before you hurt yourself?” looks towards Goldie, shaking his head (as best as a fish can).
Algae Eater Alie- “oh no”
Frogie - “It IS Midnight and Fluffers!” looking pleased smiling. Goldie turns to Gold and gives him a dirty look.
Goldie - “ I TOLD YOU! It’s the cats”
Gold - “Be quiet!!” turns away from Goldie
Goldie - “Don’t shush me! I TOLD YOU!” resumes frantic swimming and then darts into the rock cave and hits her head. “ouch!”
Frogie - “HAHAHA!” starts rolling/rocking as he laughs
Algae Eater Alie - “oh lord” rolls her eyes.
Setting the scene in the fish tank with the fish as the characters is fun. You need to bring meaning and closure to the story. Since it really is the cats in the end, bring them into the scene even if it's just to bring them up to the glass.
