(Pumpkin is flying high in the sky, with Je Sus on his back. Streets and houses flash by below them, and occasionally people below look up and stare with wonder and awe at the winged tabby with a mud-streaked girl on its back.)

Pumpkin: There's a nice view from up here! How you doing, Je sus?

Je Sus: (Shrieking) AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! You should've let me tell you that I'm afraid of heights you stupid cat!

Pumpkin: You've been yelling like that for the past ten minutes! Give it a rest, we're almost to the mall!

Je Sus: I- I think I'm gonna puke.

Pumpkin: Oh, no! Not on my fur!

Je Sus: (pukes)

Pumpkin: No! My beautiful fur! GROSS YOU RUINED MY GORGEOUS GOLDEN - ORANGE FUR!!

Je Sus: Your fur is ugly orange, there's no gold in it!

Pumpkin: I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!!

Je Sus: Whatever! Look, the mall's below us! Land!

(Pumpkin swoops down and lands in the mall's parking lot. People scatter, screaming and running for their lives.)

Pumpkin: (Folding his wings against his back) Hmph. Apparently small animals aren't the only ones who are prejudice against cats!

Je Sus: I think they're just afraid because you flew in here. Cats don't usually do that.

Pumpkin: Oh. Well, still prejudice. It's not like I acted aggressive.

Je Sus: That's just the way humans are. Anything out-of-the-ordinary scares them.

Pumpkin: (sighs) Whatever. Come on, let's get you your prince!

Je Sus: Okay. (She sighs and looks down at her mud-soaked dress) I don't suppose there's any point in wearing this. (She pulls it over her head and is left wearing her normal, ratty old dress once more) Let's go.

(They walk into the mall where they find tons of stores, from Justice to Bath & Body Works, Abercrombie & Fitch, and the best one of all, Starbucks.)

Je Sus: So, you said you would guide me to the prince.

Pumpkin: Yes. He's in Starbucks. He smells like frappuccinos.

Je Sus: Um... okay. (Points to the hottest man in the room) Is that him there?

Pumpkin: NO THAT'S JUSTIN BIEBER!!! HE'S THE UGLIEST GUY IN THE ROOM!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR BRAIN!!???

Je Sus: Oh, um... oops. He seemed pretty hot to me.

Pumpkin: Oh... my god. You did not. (Points with his tail in the opposite direction that Je Sus had pointed to) No, the prince is over there in the corner standing next to his father, the King.

Je Sus: Okay, let's go talk to him. Can you use some magic so that only he and the King can see and hear us, so we don't cause a panic in there?

Pumpkin: Nope.

Je Sus: What! Why!?

Pumpkin: Remember, I can only use magic for certain things?

Je Sus: What exactly are the guidelines for what you can and cannot do with your magic?

Pumpkin: They're kind of random, actually. I'm often able to do things that are convenient... but not this time.

Je Sus: Well, what can you do to help us?
