Love In Las Vegas- A Pizza Cat Love Story

Disclaimer: I don't own the Samurai Pizza Cats

Some people don't know this but the original ending to The Great Comet Caper was going to be very different. Instead of Speedy saying a 'make me a pizza' joke like the American editors had him do, he was going to fully declare his love for Polly and propose and the next scene was going to be their wedding! But I guess cause they felt American kids would find that too " mushy" they changed it. So this is the original proposal in the Great Comet Caper followed by a follow up story as to what might have happened in between the proposal and wedding.

Whew! OK, all clear? Here we go:

Polly watched the sky with a heavy heart, praying for a sign, any sign, that would enable Speedy, her best friend and the one she'd loved since 3rd grade, to still be alive. She sank to the ground, suddenly feeling weak and sick…very unusual for her after a massive fight. The sky was clear, no sign at all of the comet that was threatening to plunge into earth, no sign of the CataTonic.…

No sign of Speedy.

The emotions that had been building up inside of her finally reached their breaking point and she burst into hysterical tears. The fact that Big Cheese and Jerry Atric, who were the ones responsible for this comet almost crashing to Earth in the first place had finally been caught and exiled to Prisoner's Island for their many crimes or the fact that his #1 Henchman, Bad Bird, had reformed and become Good Bird didn't even matter at all. She had lost her oldest and dearest friend. She had lost the only Cat she had ever really loved. The worst part was she had never had a chance to tell him of her feelings. He had been persuing Lucielle all this time while she was left to watch and stow away her jealous feelings…and she had never said anything, because she had wanted to keep her friendship with Lucielle.

But she could have found so many other times to tell him. In High School when he had been her date for the prom, she could have told him then! She could have told him in college, when they had started the pizza business or become full fledged Samurai! She had let chance after chance pass by…and now it was too late!

But she remembered before the comet struck, he said he had to tell her something important. What was it? Could it have been….but now she would never know. She bent low and cried into her arms, not even caring anymore if she rusted her uniform. How could she even go on in her life without Speedy? Everything she did reminded her of him. She couldn't play her flute because it was a special gift to her from Speedy in 3rd grade. She couldn't make pizzas cause that would remind her of Speedy..being a Samurai would remind her of Speedy! She was so distraught that at first she didn't even notice the bright light that was the CataTonic plummeting to Earth! When she looked up she gasped at the sight of their banged up method of transportation…and she gasped again when she saw to very familiar figures climb out of it. A little banged up themselves and a tiny biut woosy…but otherwise fine!

Speedy and Good Bird!!

Carla was the firast one to run to them "It's Birdie!" she cried

"And Speedy too!" Polly cried out hapily rising to her felt as all her energy suddenly came back. She raced over to them as fast as she could.

"I knew they'd be all right!" Guido said, blinking back tears of relief that his best friend was safe.

"Of course!" Speedy said a bit groggily. " So why are we all standin' around for, lookin' like it's the end of the world, when we got a lot of celebratin' that we could be doin'?"

Everyone hugged Speedy and Good Bird, Speedy and Polly hugging the longest and tightest of all.

Carla hugged Good Bird as tight as she could. "Oh Birdie...don't leave me again..."

"I never, ever will, Carla. I promise. I'm no longer the bird I once was. I'm Good Bird now and from this moment on I fight with my new friends, the Samurai Pizza Cats!" He hugged Carla close to him. "

"Oh Speedy...I was so afraid for you..." Polly said, hugging him tighter than she had ever hugged him before. Speedy look at her and smiled.

"I had to come back. We still have eight lives ahead of us Polly...together."

Polly smiled broadly, with tears of joy in her eyes. "Speedy..."

"See...I'm never gonna leave you, do you hear me, Ms. Esther?"

"Yes," she whispered. She was closer to Speedy than she had ever been before. Now she could see so clearly the warmth and friendship in his eyes…they really were handsome eyes.

The two Cats quietly excused themselves, and Speedy toook Polly's hand in his, as they headed for the beach. Once they reached the beach, Speedy pulled off his helmet, and Polly did the same. They set their helmets down on the bench nearby, and Polly sat down upon the bench.

"Polly, I have something I want to tell you, that I should have said a long time ago."

"What is it, Speedy?"

Speedy took a deep breath and took her hand in his. "We've known each other since we were kittens, since the day I saved you from those bullies." Polly nodded, she remembered. " We've been best friends since the day I gave you that flute of yours.":

"I still never go anywhere without it," Polly said, showing it to him.

"I've always admired you for your strength, your bravery, and your beauty." Speedy continued. "I know that for the longest time I didn't even realise this cause I thought I had feelings for Lucielle….but now I know I don't. You're the one I love…it was always you!" He knelt down on one kne and stroked her hand. " I can't live any longer without you, Polly. Will you marry me?" He pulled out a small, blue box, with a red ribbon attached. Polly undid the ribbon, and opened the box. Inside, is a lovely white gold ring, with a blue, heart-shaped diamond inside, with rubies and white diamonds set into the band.

Polly gasped, unable to believe what was happening. "Oh Speedy...Yes! I love you so..."

Speedy beamed with tears in hs own eyes. "I love you too, Polly."

They hugged each other tightly, and Speedy slid the necklace with the ring around her neck, since she'd probably break the ring in battle if she wore it on her hand. Finally, they stood up and gazed into each other's eyes, their lips meeting in a long, deep kiss. After they come up for air, they headed back to announce their engagement to the others.

"Attention, everyone, attention!!! Everyone, we got an announcement!!" He said. Guido looked at him and Speedy winked at him. Guido immediately knew what it was and came over to his best friends.

"Listen up!!" He said.

Speedy cleared his throat. "Everyone, Polly and I would like to make an announcement! Let it be known that at this moment, Polly Esther and Speedy Cerviche are hereby engaged to be married!!" Polly showed her ring and everyone cheered and applauded, exchanging hugs and congratulations.

"This calls for a celebration, let's all head ovr to the Pizza Parlor, pop open some sodas, and make a toast!" Francine said.

"ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!!! THOSE STUPID CATS FOILED MY PLANS! NOW WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO PRISONER'S ISLAND! NOT FAIR, NOT FAIR, NOT FAIR!!"

"Big Cheese, we are on a raft, I'm begging you , lease calm down just stay in control!"

"CONTROL?!?! WHO'S not in control??!?!" BIg Cheese hopped up and down on the raft, causing it to sway back and forth as his face slowly started to turn red. "This is all YOUR fault! You and your big mouth, you can't keep your mouth shut you let it slip to the Princess!!"

"Big Cheese, please stay calm, you'll blow up again!!"

"THOSE DARN CATS I HATE THEM, I HATE THEM!!! I'LL GET THEM IF IT'S THE LAST THING I EVER DOOOO!!! I FEEL SUCH A HEADACHE I NEED SOME ASPIRIN!!!!!" Before Jerrry could blink Cheese blew up..again..and they found themselves flying right up in the air.

"LOOK OUT BELOW!!!!!" Jerry said, as they soured in the sky for a long long time finally coming to a hard landing on a sidewalk. They slowly stood up blinking their eyes against the millions of bright lights surrounding them.

"Arrgh…" Cheese said, standing up wearily. "Uh..where are we? God, why are there so many bright lights here, somebody must have a huge electric bill!"

Jerry looked around, taking in the brightly colored streets, th millions of buildings around and the sounds all over. "Uh..Sir? Don't look now….but I think we're in Las Vegas!"

"Las Vegas as in…America?!" Big Cheese asked. "We landed in AMERICA?!"
"I do believe so, Sir," Jerry said.

"Uh oh," Big Cheese said with a wicked grin. "Jerry…what say we go explore? See the sight a little..maybe win ourselves some money?"

"Do you think we can, Sir?"
"Didn't I tell ya, Jerry? I come from a long line of gamblers…and whatever we played, we won! let's transfer the little money we managed to smuggle away to American bucks and earn enough to make a GIGANTIC robot! Little Tokyo can't get rid of us forever!!"
