ACT ONE: The Frida Witch

Hi, my name is Frida and I’m a cat witch! Not a human that turns into a cat that turns into a witch, just a cat who can do magic. How did I get here? Let me tell you…

My mommy had me and my brother Fibo in an old box behind a brick building. We couldn’t really see anything, but we knew it got cold at night, even though we huddled next to mommy all the time.

There were two peoples that took us in to their bigger box to keep us warm and give us food all day.

Each night at midnight, mommy would use her magic to give us a bath. She would spin us slowly in the air and tell us stories of the other yellow-eyed cats who, once they turned one year old, got to practice magic.

Mommy warned us to be careful with magic because not all people welcome cats with magic powers. One night, our peoples caught mommy drying us when we floated in the air.

They got scared. They started screaming and kicked her hard. The peoples chased my brother and me out with a broom.

By the time we got downstairs and ran out of the house, we saw that they threw mommy out the window. Mommy wasn’t breathing anymore.

After we lost our mommy, my brother and I had to figure out how to survive in the cold wet streets. We miss mommy and we are always hungry, but at least we have each other.

ACT TWO: The Frida Witch

Frida just finished telling the end of her story to a random cat.

Frida: “So that was a few months ago, and it’s been kinda crazy, but I feel like I’m doing alright, all things considered, don’t you think?”

Random Cat looks at Frida as if she is crazy.

Frida: “Well, at least I have my brother, Fibo, and he managed to snag Mr. Fish on our way out of the house. Say hello, Mr. Fish!”

Close up of Mr. Fish laying on the floor doing absolutely nothing.

Random Cat: “Meeeow?”

Random cat walks away.

[EST. SHOT] Two humans looking out a window into the alleway where Fibo notices Frida talking to the random cat while walking towards her.

Fibo: “Alright sis, I’m gonna hunt for some food. Remember, you can reach out anytime. Just use the astral plane like Mommy taught us.”
Frida: “No, no, no, just come back soon. I don’t think I want to touch magic again any time soon, especially when you’re not around. I will just stay right here with Mr. Fish getting our place nice and cozy.”

[EST. SHOT] Fibo walking away from Frida and Mr. Fish who stand next to the dirty box.
Fibo: “If anything happens, you can reach out any time, you know how,” Fibo says as he continues walking away.

Camera pans up to the sun.

The sun is replaced by the moon and stars.

Frida sits near box with pacing paw prints all around and Mr. Fish on ground.

Frida (talking to Mr Fish): “It’s been hours, where is Fibo??? You’re right, I shouldn’t worry, Mr. Fish.”

There is noise in the alleyway – Frida is startled and runs inside the box.

The humans are there with a carrier. They pick up Mr. Fish and put it in the carrier.

Shot of Mr. Fish staring at Frida.

“Come here nice kitty!”
Frida looks scared and meows terrified (this is just a meow since humans do not understand her).

Humans manage to pick her up while she struggles.

Humans take her back to their place where they sit her down by the window, so that we see that this is where the previous shots came from. From humans’ perspective: “Let’s give her some time to settle down”

Frida (looking down at the box in alleyway): “Oh no, it’s so late, and now we are who-knows-where, Fibo is never gonna find us!”

They close the door and leave the room.

Frida paces around the room.

Frida:”NO! Mr Fish, I am not gonna do that!”

Frida paces some more.

Frida: “How can you remain so calm!?! This is an emergency!”
Close up of Mr. Fish doing nothing.

From the other room we hear the humans say ,“Wow, this kitty is so furry, she left hair all over the place.” We hear a vacuum cleaner start up.

Frida imagining a VERY SCARY vacuum cleaner.
Frida: “It’s worse than I thought, magic really is our only option. Ok, I will just make a quick call to Fibo, and everything will be okay.”

Shot of Mr. Fish looking doubtful.

“Yes, of course I know what I am doing!” Frida concentrates.

Frida continues to concentrate and starts to float.

Frida begins to open the astral plane.

Frida: “Help, help, Fibo help!”

Mysterious cat witch: “Oh deary, i think you got the wrong coordinates. Is this your first time trying magic? Don’t worry, it’s normal, it took me hundreds of tries before I got it right!”.

Astral plane pops. Frida drops but lands on her feet. Frida and Mr Fish are left shocked. Frida says to Mr Fish “Looks like we are on our own for now, Mr. Fish!”
