Canon
Tom and Angela are anthropomorphic cats, protagonists of the majority of their series, always with their friends Ben, Hank and Ginger.

Tom first debuted in the first "Talking Tom" app, where this character repeated everything the user said to him, in addition to reacting to the gestures that the user pressed with his finger. Angela would later do something similar with her own app, both developed by Outfit7.

Years later, they both have their own popular smartphone apps, with their respective names My Talking Tom and My Talking Angela. As for the video series, both were protagonists of their first series Talking Friends, where they also had Talking Pierre, a parrot, as a companion.

Talking Ben comes upset with the belief that "someone steals his jokes". When Ben and Nerd Tom were arguing, Angela seems worried, meaning that she prefers the Tom that she knows from the beginning over the Nerd Tom and she accepts without hesitation the Tom's rescue mission.

Talking Angela is the first one in arriving in the parallel universe, but she starts to become jealous when she sees Tom with another Angela. When the others come and Ben orders to go, Angela pursuits Slacker Angela while Ben struggles trying to get Tom back, but Tom simply decides to try his most efforts possible to stay in the parallel universe because he wants to stay longer with Slacker Angela with the belief that she loves him and she is better than the normal Angela.

Meanwhile, Angela argues with Slacker Angela about Tom. No matter how hard Tom tried to stay, Ben finally managed to force him back to the normal universe through brute force and his friends came back with him.

Later, Hank joins Ben and Angela at Angela's apartment, with the condition of not talking about Angela's secret. Later, Tom tries to call his friends via phone, but nobody answers him, so Tom had to stay with Ginger at his Tom Studios.

As their date ended happily despite of their first not good moments, Tom proposes Angela that their next date would simply be as "just friends" in the Carnival and Angela takes it as "a date that's not a date-date".

In "Just Friends" Tom and Angela plan to go to the Carnival along with Hank and Ginger, but Ben couldn't come because of his girlfriend Xenon. Tom and Angela starts to have love tensions towards each other and they sometimes are willingly to even repeat the kiss, but still, they try to pretend to be just friends with the help from Hank and Ginger.

And even the Ferris Wheel stops to function, making Tom and Angela trapped at the top, making them impossible to get off the Ferris Wheel without risking themselves. Their love tensions come to their climax and when they almost gave their second kiss, Angela wants to continue pretending that they're still just friends, but when Tom saves her from falling from the Ferris Whell too hardly, they finally admit that they would be better if it started as a date from the beginning. Finally, at the bottom of the Ferris Wheel, instead of getting of safely when they could, they decide to forget friend events, stop pretending and they give their second kiss, but they're interrupted by Ginger, who was asking them to help them to get rid of some angry people who are after him, but Tom decides not to help Ginger and decides to continue with his date with Angela.
