Here it is, for all you MM, Muppets, Star Trek, Star Wars and Dr Who fans. We know who we are.

Opening scene, the bridge of a small but powerful spaceship.

In the captain’s chair: the mighty Captain Flower

In the first officer’s chair: the fearless Zaphod.

Opening narrated by the computer, voiced by Sean Astin:

"Meerkats in Space ! Boldly going where no meerkat has gone before."

Flower: Zaphod! Send Blossom to the stable bay to saddle up Seattle Slew. I need her

to check the deflector dish.

Zaphod: Sorry Captain Flower. Blossom went for a space walk last week and hasn’t returned.

Suddenly the evil Klingon General Hannibal materializes on the bridge, in his black

body armor and eye patch. He turns to Flower and ...

tornadowarning Posted 05-28-07 10:08 PM

[gasping for breath in the facemask "woo hoo woo hoo] [ sorry do not know how to spell Darth Vaders breathing pattern"]

Flower, you will need to overtake my armies before you can proceed thru MY space and get the magic scorpions." BWAAAHAAHAA!!!!

[imagine James Earl Jones voice for Hannible..]

tornadowarning Posted 05-28-07 10:14 PM

Just then Seattle Slew looks up at a familiar evil laugh. Standing just behind the patched, is GROG!!! He is wearing a cape [that's new Slew thinks] and wearing a ring signifying he is of the highest rank in Darth Hannible's army. He rushes over to Grog and...

pronker Posted 05-28-07 11:41 PM

Kicks him in the buns for not having better sense.

Columbus starts pronking at the navigator's station. Bird of Prey at 900 par secs!

Captain Flower reminds Columbus that the Klingons have already communicated their intentions to which Science Officer Yoyo comments "I am so glad that ensign finally has his own position babysitting him is totally exhausting and he makes fun of my pointed ears"

Cadets Parsley, Basil and Rose "Awww poor Mr. Yoyo. What about us? Ever think about how bad he made us look on foraging trips? We're just cadets! He's an ensign!

Medical Officer Mozart buzzes the Com.

"Captain Flower, the stress levels on the bridge have gone sky high."

Captain Flower replies, yes we know dear. Yoyo has expressed an unpopular opinion again. The cadets are about to mutiny.

Science Officer Yoyo: "I think this is a logical point for me to take a nap in my quarters. See you later...

tornadowarning Posted 05-28-07 11:49 PM

[not part of the story--YOUSSY AS MR SPOCK??? I LOVE IT!!!]

mumsykat Posted 05-29-07 12:04 PM

Yoyo dons his aluminum foil hat to protect himself from the Klingon mind-probe rays, stops by the vending machine for a snack of Choco-Scorpion Krunchies, and war-dances away just to make an impressive exit.

pronker Posted 05-29-07 01:19 PM

Yeoman Marilyn: Yeoman Pancake this is the Whiskers Bridge Level. It’s only for Whiskers. So unless you are evicted, stay away from this level and make sure you remember where the bolt holes are�?/P>

A large male meerkat skips by really fast.

YM: Eh, that was Science Officer Yossarian Whiskers.

Pancake: Hm, that skip looks awfully familiar.

Marilyn: Oh they all look like that after a few Choco Scorpions.

Pancake: Maybe we should follow him?

Marilyn: Maybe not.

Pancake: See you later�?/P>

eruth66 Posted 05-29-07 02:44 PM

Sorry off the topic for a bit, but I just have to ask, Mod_kelly are you laughing at us yet? I hope the producers see this thread and the other one with the one sentence story. Okay back to Meerkats in space!!!

Look out Youssy, your headed for an astroid!Ah.................!!!!

shakespeareforever Posted 05-29-07 04:13 PM

"Captain Flower, what should we do? Should I increase us to Warp 2? or should we cloak the ship?" asks a nervous Lt. Shakespeare.

mumsykat Posted 05-29-07 04:33 PM

"Warp two?" scoffs Captain Flower. "Give it warp eight! And to heck with the deteriorating dilithium crystals!"

[Whew, try saying THAT a few times!]

pronker Posted 05-29-07 05:22 PM

Meanwhile in a shinny corridor:

Yeoman Pancake: Yo, you with the choco scorpion dangling from your choppers!

SO Yo: Huh? Me? (Drops the scorpion staring). Hey, don’t I know you?

Pancake: Not that line again, dang straight you do! Were you ever going to come back and visit Waffle and Toast?

SO Yo: Waffle and Toast? Oh dearydear, I’m a carnivore, never much cared for those sugary breakfast meals. But I could come around for a nice gecko dinner.

Pancake: Rovers! Did it ever occur to you that Waffle and Toast are your baby girl and boy?

SO Yo: Eh, well, eh, no it didn’t. But if you say so…Wait! I hear�?/P>

Insert scarry music and Vader breath�?/P>

Capt Hannibal: Lt. Grog are you sure this disguise will work?

Lt. Grog: Well, we got by the sentries and you do look like the Slew. Heavy footsteps

SO Yo: Quick down this bolt hole!

meerkat1212 Posted 05-29-07 05:51 PM

(kats, if I don't stop laughing, i'll have to call 911!)

at the bottom of the bolt hole is a familiar face: Cazanna. She screeches:

"Harcourt Youssarian Mudd!! Where have you been? I've been looking for you across half the galaxy. It's about time you took your paternal duties seriously. Come here...

shakespeareforever Posted 05-29-07 06:15 PM

Meerkat1212, Your line just about killed me! Harcourt Youssarian Mudd! I am so glad that I know all the Star Trek episodes! This has got to be the funniest story line yet!

Thank you so much for this MK1212!!!!

mumsykat Posted 05-29-07 06:17 PM

Youssarian mutters "Why can't you EVER find an escape pod when you need one... hey, a bolt hole!" He sprints into one of the reactor's Jeffries Tubes.

shakespeareforever Posted 05-29-07 06:26 PM

"Captain, the ship, she's breaking up! I will need at least 2 hours to fix her and without the dilithium crystals, I don't know how good she'll be!" an exacerbated Engineer Mitch proclaims.

Capt. Flower suggests maybe Dr. Mozart can be of some assistance since he isn't doing anything.

"Darn it Flower, I'm a Doctor not a mechanic!

(I had to edit once my DM pointed out that they are not litium crystals. Gee, what was I thinking!)

Just then Rick Moranis shows up in his Dark Helmet outfit from spacebals and whines "Hey...I'm supposed to be the evil one!! I'm wearing the big helmet!"

meerkat1212 Posted 05-29-07 06:42 PM

(kats, I forgot to say at the very beiginning that Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Gallaxy fans are also included, lest we forget Zaphod's literary roots)

eruth66 Posted 05-29-07 07:06 PM

You guys are totally cracking me up. I can't quit laughing!!! . I still hope the producers will read this and get an idea for a cartoon of the meerkats.

Meanwhile back to Meerkats in Sp.......ace!!!!!

Flower says to Dr. Mozart, Cut out the smart remarks and get to work!!!!

mumsykat Posted 05-29-07 07:04 PM

"Hey, I think I found the problem," Dr. Mozart exclaims, and starts pitching baskets of Tribbles onto the bridge.

eruth66 Posted 05-29-07 07:06 PM

Meanwhile on the bridge, Youssy lets out a loud Yahoo!!!!

Captain Flower says, what's a matter with you?

Youssy says, I just read the new TV Guide and it says on Page 62 that Meerkat Manor will return on Friday, August 10, 2007 at 8:30 Eastern Time.

Season 3 is coming soon!!!!!!

tornadowarning Posted 05-29-07 07:12 PM

Seattle Slew is so happy he is coming out of retirement!!!

pronker Posted 05-30-07 10:17 AM

MO Mozart: Mr. Yoyo are you feeling all right? It’s not like you to burst out in exclaimations!

SO Yo: Yes, but I seem to have feelings afterall, even if #1 Zaph and Captain Flower refuse to admit it.

Zaphod: Yo bro, I know you have feelings. I just can’t figure them out.

Flower: As Captain I can’t show any favoritism, not even with #1 sitting on me.

Mozart: Oh brother!

Communications Officer Daisy: Does anyone hear anything strange?

Mozart: Be quiet Daisy, you’re just hearing voices again.

Daisy: But its, its like �?heavy breathing!

SO Yo: Hey its not me! I’ve got my emotions under control (wondering what happened to Pancake�?

********* end of Part A *******************

pronker Posted 05-30-07 11:16 AM

Weeee-Oooo (funny sound comlink makes)

Engr. Mitch: Capt. Flower! Capt. Flower! I’m on top of the reactor core "thingee" and all I can hear is heavy breathing!

MO Mozart: Well, it’s probably �?you - after all the climbing.

Zaph: No. He’s a top notch climber, I doubt its him.

Capt. Flower: Mitchy, can you see where its coming from?

Mitch: I can nooo see anythin but shiny surfaces up herrre�?/P>

SO Yo: Where’d he get that Scottish accent?

Daisy: He’s been practicing to impress Marilyn.

Flower

Zaph all together -- Who is Marilyn?

Mozart

Mitch: I thin you’rrrrre missin the point here.

SO Yo: And the point is (not my ears again!)?

Mitch: There’s heavy breathing everywhere!

Daisy: Screams!

mumsykat Posted 05-30-07 12:00 PM

Flower: Get a grip, y'all, Pooky's probably just choking on another scorpion. Does anyone know the Heimlich?

Mysterious noise: BREEETHE-breethe-BREEEEEETHE-breeeethe...

Flower: Although I COULD be wrong ((thinks for a moment)) Nah, never happen....

eruth66 Posted 05-30-07 12:28 PM

Captain Flower: I think a female is having pups.

Oh! Just wait until I find out who!!!

shakespeareforever Posted 05-30-07 04:07 PM

(This is the funniest thing I have ever read!! We must get it on film!! I can't even think of a next line I am laughing so hard. My DM just read it and thinks we all need therapy!)

shakespeareforever Posted 05-30-07 04:25 PM

Out of no where suddenly a short, white robot appears on the bridge "OH NO! They've transported me to the wrong ship again! Why me?" a depressed Robot named Marvin explains.

"Hello people. Robot here. Doesn't anyone even notice I just appeared out of no where? This isn't a Vogon Destructor ship is it?"

chocolatemeerkats3 Posted 05-30-07 05:36 PM

Pancake looks at Yo - Hmmm...So there REALLY IS such a thing as an infinite improbablity drive then?...So you werent lying then, all those times you said you were coming over to see Waffle and Toast and you never made it.. Hmmmm...

meerkat1212 Posted 05-30-07 05:39 PM

Daisy screams again "it's the tribbles! they're having tribblets all over ther place! Hello, Marvin. Do you have a girlfriend? What's a Vogon things? Is it shiny?"...

The computer interrupts. "Sorry Captain Flower, Sean here. I have message from the KRR control room: a two-headed guy calling himself Zaphod Beeblebrox is claiming he's the victim of identity theft and the perp is on your ship. Please investigate..end of message".

pronker Posted 05-30-07 07:26 PM

Everyone looks at SO Yo who crosses his paws, raises his scar and declares: Beeblebroxes have never been seen in this part of the galaxy. They'd have to hitchike for lightyears.

#1: Yeah, never heard of him. He could be an imposter himself.

Capt Flower: REally? Well, how did he get to KRR?

Columbus jumps up and replies its easy you just hang a sharp left after Saturn, go into warp drive and it slings you to the other side of the sun.

Mozart: You know Columbus you really should read something other than star charts.

#1: I think we should return to the KRR and investigate this creature. Columbus, plot a direct course to....

Capt. Flower: Ensign delay that order. Before we go anywhere we have to find the source of that heavy breathing 1. because Daisy will keep screeching if we don't and 2. because we don't know what it is and if its dangerous to our species. And 3 get those annoying tribbles off my bridge before I start zapping them.

Mozart: Captain! That's against the prime directive.

eruth66 05-30-07 07:46 PM

Captain Flower, I will not have my ship overun with tribbles. Actually I have a better idea, let's beam them over to the Lazuli ship and let them deal with them.

Flower laughs a evil laugh.

Youssarrian's scar goes up again. really Captain Flower this hardly a time for levity.

eruth66 Posted 05-31-07 12:53 PM

Captain Flower says, All right don't be so logical!!!

We need to get this tribbles off my ship. Anyone else have a suggestion?

mumsykat Posted 05-31-07 04:16 PM

SO Yoyo flips open his communicator :"Jar-Jar Binks to the bridge, please." (Snaps communicator shut) "That creature can empty out a room in nothing flat."

eruth66 Posted 05-31-07 04:33 PM

Captain Flower says, I think I need an asprin.

What a day!!! Daisy, honey would you please stop screaming!

Daisy screams again, Captain Flower, A tribble just ate some micracle grow that we put on our flowers. It is getting bigger every second. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

eruth66 Posted 05-31-07 10:32 PM

Captain Flower says to the crew, Quick get that tribble to the transporter room and beam it down to the planet below before it gets any bigger!!

Zaphod and rest of the guys manage to get it to the transporter and beam it down to the planet.

Captain Flower breathes a sign of relief and goes over to comfort poor Daisy.

It's okay she says to Daisy it's gone now.

meerkat1212 Posted 05-31-07 10:54 PM

Jar-jar Binks steps out of the turbolift. "Yessa, Captain Flowsa. Did yousa want mesa?"

Flower: "Never mind, Ensign Binks. Go back to your post".

Daisy: "Hi, Jar-jar. Are you busy after your shift?"

Flower: "Daisy! Not again. Take that robot to the visitor's quarters. And where is Seattle Slew?"

tornadowarning Posted 05-31-07 11:00 PM

Neigh!!! As cheif of security me and Grog my second in command have spotted...

eruth66 Posted 06-01-07 01:21 AM

Klingon Meerkats on our port side.

Captain Flower yells, Bring it about ensign!

We may have a long battle. Red alert Red alert!!!The Klingons are present. All hands stay ready. Fire phaser on my command!!!!

Youssy says to Captain Flower,There is something strange written on their ship!

It says, Save money on your space ship insurance by switching to Gieco!!!

shakespeareforever Posted 06-01-07 05:14 AM

Marvin the Robot: "Excuse me. But can I request that someone else, anybody else, take me to where ever you are taking me? Oh for all that is sacred would you just shut up? Where are the Cylons when you need them?

Daisy: SCREAM!!!

SO Yoyo: "Everyone just shut up! This is important and I can't concentrate. Now Lt. Shakespeare, can you tell if that is a 9 or a 0 on that Gieco phone number?

Everyone stops and stares at Yoyo.

SO Yoyo: "What? I just love that little lizard."

Daisy: Lizard? SCREAM!!

tornadowarning Posted 06-01-07 11:57 AM

Suddenly music is piped over the loudspeakers:

ddddss they're kooky and they're ooky.

mysteriously spooky..

Then it disappears.

Cpt. Flower: What in the wide, wide world of scorpions was that?!?!?

mumsykat Posted 06-01-07 12:02 PM

Mitch: I dinna know, Captain, but prrrrhaps I should find me bagpipes and play allllong.

eruth66 Posted 06-01-07 12:31 PM

Zaphod says: Please no bagpipes. They screech almost as worse as Daisy does!!!

Youssy says: Please I still need that number!!

Captain Flower just rolls her eyes

Suddenly a voice says, "You Rang!!!!

meerkat1212 Posted 06-01-07 01:05 PM

Marvin: Oh and me with the pain in all the diodes down my right side.

Flower: Communications Officer Lurch, please call the insurance co. for FO Yoyo, and get someone to take this robot off my bridge.

tornadowarning Posted 06-01-07 01:10 PM

Cpt. Flower says"Ensign Lurch, please take The Slew outside for a gallop. He may be the greatest but he still needs conditioning."

eruth66 Posted 06-01-07 02:15 PM

Meanwhile the tribbles are beginning to be a nusance. Captain Flower says, Please anyone have a idea what to do with all these tribbles? should we beam them down to the planet below or what?

Youssy says, I believe it would be logical to beam them down to the planet before they eat all our food up.

Captain Flower says, okay Youssy will take you care of it?

Youssy says, In a moment I am still trying to place my call to the insurance company.

tornadowarning Posted 06-01-07 02:54 PM

Seattle Slew says "GET THESE TRIBBLEKATS OFF MY BACK!!!!!! AAAHHHHHHHHHRRRRRGGG!!!"

Meanwhile, Pepper points and laughs.

Rose says " OMG!!! Look at that!"

They go to the view screen and see this approaching..

meerkat1212 Posted 06-01-07 02:58 PM

It's a blue London police box slowly rotating in space off the starboard bow.

Pepper: what is it?

It disappears, then with the sound of ancient bellows, it materializes on the bridge. The door opens. Out comes a tall meerkat in a faded red velvet coat and an even longer multi-striped scarf.

"Hello. I'm the doctor. I found this young lady last week. Do you know her?"

From behind him sidles Blossom.....
