Rumpleteazer: *sitting there, happily playing with a (stolen) ball of yarn*

Yami and Kura : ……. *look to Angel* What's she doing here?

Angel: I like her. *glomps Rumpleteazer* ^^

Teazer: ^^

Yami: But… Whadda bout me?

Angel: *coo; glomps him too* ^^

Yami: ^^

Kura : Me?

Angel: *kicks him*

Kura : Owie! *grumblegrumble*

Others: ^^

Angel: Now… *turns to readers* In case you haven't noticed, I have changed some of the cats in this to YuugiOu characters. You will get a bunch of kisses from me if you can name all the Cats I've changed to YuugiOu peeps correctly. Please note that 1) I haven't yet mentioned all the chars - there are still a few left - and 2) Mungojerrie - who is now female - and Rumpleteazer are not official YuugiOu people but two OCs I use all the time in my fics - it should actually be kinda obvious because I mixed the twos hair colors together and kept their eyes the same.

Angel: Also, since the only thing I have is the DVD, expect some songs to be cut down and out. And, this script is all my and my onesan's own. We were the ones to listen to and (me at least) write down the lyrics and actions. So don't gripe about it.

Yami and Teazer: *look up at Angel* Can we have Kisses too?

Angel: Not yet - but soon. ^^

Kura : Can I?

Angel: No. -_-

Kura : ><

Angel: Alrighty then… *looks at her arms which are full of human-kitty and Pharaoh; looks to Bakura* Uh… Kura ?

Kura : No.

Angel: I'll give you a Kiss.

Kura : Ok. ^^ *turns on Disclaimer Box*

DB: -~- Angel does not own YuugiOu -~- … -~- Angel does not own Cats -~-

Angel: Thank you. ^^ *gives Kura Kiss*

Kura : ^^

Angel: Well, till next time!
