Cuckoo

Meanwhile, Felina was in the trailer, munching on her favorite snack: jellybeans. She was still angry and outraged with Doug for "firing" her, despite the fact that she had already quit. She just ate all of her fury with a dish of jellybeans. The bowl was whisked away as Felina realized her comfort snack had vanished.

Silk and Cotton snatched them as they hid the bowl behind them.

"Why eat them, Felina? Silk and her sister advised Felina about her diet, saying, "Might as well just bury them under our satin and chenille."

Felina rolled her eyes at the mice and said, "Come on, Silk, Cotton." "I need to eat outside," she jumped up from her seat and walked out the door. The two mice leaped up to join Felina on her shoulder.

In the evenings, Boyle Heights' Mariachi Plaza could be a little calm, but occasionally there would be gunfire coming from a distance. Despite the occasional typical crime, Boyle Heights, as a Chicano/Mexican-American neighborhood, was nevertheless a peaceful and happy community for Hispanic and Latino residents.

The mice and Felina made their way to Santa Cecilia Restaurant. The restaurant was quite empty even though it remained open till 8am at this hour of the night. The other five bad guys in the restaurant had already placed their orders and were midway through their meals.

When Felina, Silk, and Cotton ordered their dinner and found a table, the mice ate quickly. When Felina was about to take a bite, she noticed the Bad Guys in front of their table, who were clearly not in the mood to eat. Half of them just stared sadly at their food, while the other half played with it. They couldn't stop thinking about Piranha leaving them for his dream. They could understand, but it was unfortunate that he no longer had time for them. Felina recognized the expressions on their faces. She recognized the looks. It was similar to how she felt for Doug, just on the inside.

"Oh, sweethearts, looks like you guys are as quiet as mice," Felina joked before Silk and Cotton cleared their throats. "Oh, no offense."

"Ugh, why do you care?" Snake didn't expect anyone to care about his and his pals' feelings, even though their expressions were noticeable enough for anyone to see them sad.

"Oh, come on. We're all on the same page right now. Cast off by the one we care about the most," Felina gave a pouty face, "Guess you know how that feels now."

"Piranha has forgotten about us...about me," Hornet murmured sadly as Tarantula placed her hand on his back for comfort.

"Yes, I've heard that. Hurts worse than anything," Felina understood what the group were going through.

Cotton, who overheard their chat with her sister, said, "I remember this one mouse named Mickey..."

Felina extended a paw at Cotton, saying, "I'm talking to this group," and then turned to the Bad Guys. "You see, guys, relationships and show business, they just don't mix. Oh, it starts out nice and friendly... Then they get their first taste of fame and believe you're insane, which they aren't because you tried to continue with that connection. Then, someone doesn't appreciate all you're doing to keep the relationship and career together, so they throw you out on the street, driving you insane!"

When music began playing in the background, the 5 Bad Guys slowly stood up from their seat and attempted to back away before fleeing the restaurant. To their amazement, Felina was already outside, with a flashlight blazing over her.

Felina: One minute I'm happy, then I'm sad
I get angry, then relax
I go from chaos into self-control
It's one of my side effects (ha)

She then turned to face the direction of the apartment where the Harmony Notes lived and practiced where she could observe Doug from a distance while leading the night rehearsal.

Felina: And you seem like a real nice guy
And I don't wanna treat you bad
So before you get a taste of me
Let me hit you with the recipe, yeah, yeah

I go a little OTT with the OCD
All my exes say that I'm crazy
I'ma check your phone while you're half asleep
Maybe God was high when he made me
'Cause I OD on the jealousy, got a PhD in anxiety
So, before you get in too deep
There's a couple things you should know about me

Silk and Cotton joined Felina as backup singers and dancers, and spotlights shone above them as well.

Felina: I'm

Felina, Silk & Cotton: Cuckoo, cuckoo

Felina: A little

Felina, Silk & Cotton: Cuckoo, cuckoo

Felina: Feel a little

Felina, Silk & Cotton: Cuckoo, cuckoo

Felina: There's a couple things you should-

While watching and listening to Felina's song, the Bad Guys exchanged puzzled expressions, and Wolf twirled his fingers at the side of his head, signaling the feline might be insane. After a quick chuckle from the group, Felina appeared between them, shocking the five as she proceeded.

A little bit of this, a bit of that
I'm just laying down the facts
I'll give it all, I'll give you everything
But you better watch your back (but you better watch your back)

Felina then headed towards the trailer, where the Bad Guys, Silk, and Cotton followed her, and the cat glanced at the poster of Harmonious Land, with her and Doug as the stars, standing side by side and smiling at each other.

Felina: And you seem like a real nice guy
And I don't wanna treat you bad
So before you get a taste of me
Let me hit you with the recipe, yeah, yeah

She angrily ripped the poster down, much to the surprise of the Bad Guys, but Silk and Cotton handled it as if it was just another Felina.

Felina: I go a little OTT with the OCD
All my exes say that I'm crazy
I'ma check your phone while you're half asleep
Maybe God was high when he made me
'Cause I OD on the jealousy, got a PhD in anxiety
So, before you get in too deep
There's a couple things you should know about me

Felina: I'm...

Felina, Silk & Cotton: Cuckoo, cuckoo

Felina: A little...

Felina, Silk & Cotton: Cuckoo, cuckoo

Felina: Feel a little

Felina, Silk & Cotton: Cuckoo, cuckoo

Felina: There's a couple things you should know about, know about me

With a little dance to fill up the music, the Bad Guys glanced at each other, thinking she might be right about herself and her relationship with Doug. Guess they weren't the only ones with the problem.

Felina: There's a couple things you should know about me, I'm-
There's a couple things you should know about me

After the song, all of the lights turned off.

The Bad Guys, Felina, Silk, and Cotton found a table near the restaurant they were in and continued their conversation.

"And you know what? He wouldn't be in that dumb ol' band if I hadn't lied for him," Hornet admitted, regretting his actions from the day before.

Felina, Silk, and Cotton were astonished by this.

"Wait, what?" Felina questioned, hoping Hornet would repeat what he had just said.

"We got Doug and the band to think he was clean," Wolf admitted, revealing more about their plans for Piranha.

Shark added, "Piranha's not clean, he's a criminal... and we are criminals."

Felina was surprised again, "Come again."

Snake explained, introducing himself and his team properly to the cat, "We are the Bad Guys, Snake explained to the cat, properly introducing himself and his crew, "We are the Bad Guys, the infamous group of criminals, yet reformed and turned our jobs to vigilante, but we kept a dual job as both vigilantes and criminals to keep our mojo going."

"Oh, Bad Guys, huh?" Felina smirked sinisterly. Now that she knew who Piranha and his friends were, she quickly devised a plan: "All our troubles are over. How'd you like to get your friend back?

"But how?" Tarantula asked.

"Just listen close to ol' Felina here," The cat grinned as the Bad Guys were all ears.

The song "Cuckoo" doesn't belong to me.

Cuckoo by Anne-Marie

Special thanks to TU4QU0I53T4IAN6L3 for introducing to me the song that I used for this chapter for Felina.
