(Silver and Nitro walk into the prep room.  Silver is covered in mud.)

SOMBRA:  You guys are late...again.

ZIGGO:  What happened to Silver?!  It's gonna take a miracle to get all that mud out of his fur in time!

NITRO:  Well...we went fourwheeling with my Jeep at the Badlands Park in Indiana.  It happens.

SOMBRA:  Yes, but WHAT happened??

NITRO:  Oh.  Silver just thought it would be fun to dive into one of the mud pits and roll around.  I told him that there was more than mud in those pits, but Silver wouldn't listen.

SILVER:  It was STILL fun! :3

(Aniro slaps his forehead)

ANIRO:  You stupid...stupid...STUPID DOG!!

SILVER:  But yeah now I'm all messy and I stink.  Should have thought that through.

NITRO:  Yeah one time I fell out and the same thing happened.  Took me hours to get it all out, and days to get my curl back up.

ZIGGO:  Well that's GREAT!  Because we have eleven minutes.  And Kataze said that Silver needs to do today's interview and then do a few more, because we all know what happened last time...

(Flashback...)

CRUNCH:  NOBODY MESSES WITH PINKY BEAR!!!

(Crunch Bandicoot destroys all the seats in the audience.)

(End Flashback)

SOMBRA:  Luckily we got all the chairs back, but it's gonna cost us.  And that's why Silver needs to do a handful of interviews until Kataze thinks he has learned his lesson and becomes a better leader.

TOMMYFOX:  Why WERE you picked as leader again?

SILVER:  Because I-

ZIGGO:  No time for chit-chat.  This dirty yote needs a bath!

(Silver's eyes widen.)

ANIRO:  GRAB THE DOG!!!

(Everyone dogpiles onto Silver.  Sounds of coyote yips, barks, and growling can be heard.)

SILVER:  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

ANIRO: I got a leg!

NITRO:  I got the other one!

ERIK:  I got an arm.

SOMBRA:  I got another arm!

TOMMYFOX:  I got his tail!

SILVER:  OW!!

TOMMYFOX:  Sorry :3

(Fiesta walks into the prep room)

FIESTA:  Hi guys!  Sorry I'm late.  Are you guys ready to-

(Fiesta sees that Silver is being grabbed by five other furries.)

FIESTA:  Oh dear.  I did not sign up for this.

TOMMYFOX:  Just go in the bathroom and get the water started!

FIESTA:  Um...I just remembered...I have...um...a thing...so...bye!

(Fiesta slams the door and screeching tires can be heard)

SILVER:  He'll be back.

EVERYONE ELSE: ...

ERIK:  Wait!  There's no need to put him in the bathtub.

NITRO:  There isn't?

(Erik throws a cube onto the floor that morphs into what looks like a giant washing machine)

ERIK:  You see...I invented this last night.  It washes anything.

TOMMYFOX:  Does it wash muddy coyotes?

ERIK:  It...should...

SILVER:  Um...this looks like this is going to hurt...

ERIK:  It shouldn't, really...

NITRO:  You sure?

ERIK:  Almost positive.

NITRO:  Those are good odds.

SOMBRA:  So should we just toss him in?

ERIK:  Pff.  This is 2014.  Washi, grab the coyote.

(A giant hand comes out of the machine and grabs Silver-)

SILVER:  ARF?!

(Shut up I'm talking!  And dumps him into the top of the machine.  Silver can be seen by the others through a circular glass window.  Silver is already banging, clawing and biting on the window.)

SILVER:  Let me out!!!  I'll be a clean yote from now on, I promise!

ERIK:  Annnnd commense cleaning process, Washi.

(Giant jets of pink and purple soap splash all over Silver.)

SILVER:  YIPE!!!  MY EYES!!!

(two giant wet sponges enclose Silver.)

SILVER:  MMMPH!

NITRO:  I thought you said it wouldn't hurt him!

ERIK:  Well...no machine is perfect?

(The sponges repeatedly crush Silver and start rotating up and down, scrubbing him.)

SILVER:  OW!!!

SOMBRA:  You should probably get him out of there...

NITRO:  Like NOW would be nice!

ERIK:  S-Sorry...I can't...the machine has to go through its process or he'll be trapped in there forever!

(The chamber Silver is in quickly fills with water and empties.)

SILVER:  NOT COOL!!

TOMMYFOX:  That is one wet yote.

ERIK:  Washi, commense drying process.

(Steam billows out of the machine)

SILVER:  YIPE!!!  IT'S HOT IN HERE AND I CAN'T SEE!  HELP HELP HELP!!!

(The steam subsides and hot air blows on Silver.)

SILVER:  I hope I don't go-

(Silver's fur puffs out everywhere)

SILVER: ...floof.

WASHI:  I HOPE YOUR BATH WAS A MOST HONARABLE EXPERIENCE, MR. COYOTE.

SILVER: %#$*

(The glass circle opens, and Silver slides out)

NITRO:  How do you feel?

(Silver gets on all fours and shakes off, returning his fur to normal.)

SILVER:  Grr...like I got thrown off a cliff.

NITRO:  Ya think it's gonna leave a mark?

SILVER:  Several.

NITRO:  Damn.

SILVER:  And now it's gonna take forever to get my scent back.  How are people gonna know I've been around?

NITRO:  Yeah.

ANIRO:  Dogs...

(Silver gets on all fours and scratches his ear with his foot.)

SILVER:  Ugh...so who am I interviewing today?

(Kataze bursts into the prep room.)

KATAZE:  Well, my coyote friend...I am GLAD you asked.  Because FROM NOW ON...or at least until when I say...I will be the one calling the shots!

SILVER:  Okies.  So what's my first assignment?

KATAZE:  You must interview a character no one has heard of!

SILVER:  ...won't that lose viewers?

KATAZE:  Silver, I'm so sorry, but I thought I made it clear that I am the one in control here, thank you very much.

SILVER:  Fine...so who is it?

KATAZE:  He comes from the land of Simsala.

SILVER:  ...that's the dumbest thing I've ever-

KATAZE:  If you would be SO KIND to shut your yap I will continue.  As I was saying, Simsala is the land of Grimm's Fairy Tales, and you can travel to each of them by a book.

SILVER:  So...Reading Rainbow meets Adventures From The Book of Virtues meets...Aladdin's Carpet?

KATAZE:  You put the "PRE" in "PRECISELY", Silver.

SILVER:  What's that supposed to even-

KATAZE:  ANYWAYS, here he is now!

(Yoyo enters the prep room.  For those that don't know what Yoyo looks like, congratulations!  You're not alone.  He is a short, skinny, purple weasel/coyote looking thing with a red stocking hat with two flaps that have a jinglebell on each end.) 

SILVER:  Who are you?

YOYO: Guten tag!  Sin des essen nein wind sir jaeger! Sauerbraten schibe volkswagen sauerkraut.

SILVER:  Bless you!

KATAZE:  Oh, I forgot.  Yoyo's show is from Germany.  So he only speaks Germanese.

ERIK:  Hmm.  Was there an English version?

KATAZE:  I think so.

ERIK:  Hmm.  Have him wear this.

(Erik hands Yoyo a green collar.  Yoyo puts it on.)

YOYO:  I'm Yoyo!  The greatest adventurer since...well...ever!

ANIRO (aside):  He's certainly confident...

SOMBRA:  What did you do, Erik?

ERIK:  Translation collar.  Sadly, so far it only works if the show has been translated to English.

SILVER:  Sweet!  Well, I guess it's time we start the show.

NITRO:  Gimme a sec.  I gotta get the GoPro ready.

ZIGGO:  How long does it take?

NITRO:  Don't matter.  SOME furs take forever, but I can get it done in about thirty seconds.

(Silver and Yoyo exit the prep room and go onto the stage, and Nitro heads out the "audience" door.)

SILVER:  Hello and welcome to Furry Fan Interviews!  We are just one episode away from number ten!  Isn't that exciting?

*crickets*

SILVER:  ...I agree.  Well with us today is Yoyo from Simsala Grimm.

YOYO:  Hiya!

SILVER:  So let's get right into the-

NITRO:  TWENTY SEVEN SECONDS!  WOO DOGGIE!

SILVER: Interview.  First question:  In the show, you say that you are "The greatest adventurer since, well, ever!" can you explain that?

YOYO:  Well, I AM a great adventurer, but I can't say I'm the greatest adventurer ever.  

DOC CROC:  I KN-N-N-NEW IT!

YOYO:  Settle down, Crocky.

DOC CROC:  You have been t-t-t-t-telling the kids l-l-l-l-l-lies!

MORTON KOOPA JR:  Are you and I bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbrothers?

SILVER (to himself):  Not him again...

YOYO:  Point is, the writers needed me to say a catchphrase.

SILVER:  Catchphrases are fun! :3

YOYO:  Yup!

SILVER:  Okay, next question:  Who was the stuttering red and pink glasses-wearing crocodile you were just talking to?

YOYO:  Oh, that's Crocky.  He travels with me to all of Grimm's Fairy Tales.  He's really smart and stuff but he is a total chicken when it comes to fighting bad guys and saving princesses.  That's where I come in, y'know!

SILVER:  Cool!  Next question is...

*Silver takes a look at Kataze's cue cards*

SILVER:  If you are going to all of these fairy tales, where are you from?

YOYO:  The library shelf!  We're really toys that come to life when the magic book sends us to Simsala, which is where all the fairy tales are!

SILVER:  Hmm...that sounds like a dream I had when I ate sausage links with all these fuzzy green and blue spots on it.  They didn't taste very good, though.  Anyhoo, final question:  What animal are you?

YOYO:  I don't really know.  I think I might be a coyote like you, but I have these little ears that make me look like an otter.  I really don't know.  Weird, huh?

SILVER:  Yup yup.  But awshum!  Time for audience questions...seat 21!

RANDOM GENERIC FOX:  What's with the hat?

YOYO:  Oh, this?  It's my lucky hat!  It has actually helped me in some situations, y'know?

SILVER:  Seat 45.

ROCKO (from Rocko's Modern Life):  Say, mate, not many people have heard of your show.  What d'you think about that?

YOYO:  Eh, their loss, I guess.

SILVER:  Seat 666.   Wait...

BOWSER:  Why are you named Yoyo?!

YOYO:  Why are you named Bowser?

BOWSER:  BECASUSE I'M THE KING OF AWESOME!

YOYO: ...

SILVER: ...

BOWSER: ...

SILVER:  Seat 87.

GEICO GECKO:  What is your weakness?

YOYO:  I'm a bit obnoxious, I guess.

DOC CROC:  SP-P-P-P-P-P-POT ON!

SILVER:  Well that's all the time we have!  Thank you Yoyo for being here!

YOYO:  Hey, no problem!

SILVER:  Join us next time for our tenth episode!

(Later, Backstage...)

KATAZE:  I am VERILY impressed, Silver.  That was a great interview.

SILVER:  So am I off the hook?

KATAZE:  Of COURSE not, Silver...you were awesome, but not "not enough awesome for me to change my mind" awesome.

SILVER:  Grr...

KATAZE:  Now now, you can growl all you want at politicians.  But I am not a politician so that is SLIGHTLY inconsiderate!

TOMMYFOX:  How many more interviews does he have to do?

KATAZE:  I'm CIRCLING around four.

NITRO:  Ain't too bad.  Then it's my turn, right?

KATAZE:  Not necessarily.

NITRO:  Grr...

YOYO:  I'd better go before things turn ugly.  Sim!  Simsala!  Simsala Grimm!

(A flying book picks up Yoyo and he flies away)

ERIK:  That was awkward.

ANIRO:  That WAS.

KATAZE:  I'm going to use this moment of awkwardness to escape.

(Kataze tiptoes out the door and screeching tires can be heard afterwards)

TOMMYFOX:  What were we talking about?

SOMBRA:  I don't know.  Stuff.

(Sombra laughs)

TOMMYFOX:  Okay.  Let's put the Corgi in a box.  Ziggo~ !

ZIGGO:  No.  Not okay.  No bueno!

*Everyone else chases Ziggo, with Tommyfox giggling*

FIESTA:  Happy Tails.  Wait why am I here?

*END*
