Narrator: And now, an important announcement from the writers.

Kyo: Well... actually it's just me.

Narrator: What!?

Kyo: Look, I'll just be brief. The in the following scene you're going to meet 2 new key characters. Cousin Clara, and Neko Nyo-Nyo.

Cousin Clara is a female raccoon, and Neko is a female cat.

That is all I wanted to say at this point in time. Take it Narrator!

Narrator: Ok, well... Uh... Now back to our regularly scheduled program!

================================================================================

Narrator: Well, that was certainly a shocker, what's even more shocking is that the palace has a new arrival!

Princess Vi: (looks unhappy) Why do I have to greet Cousin Clara? This is something that the servants should do!

Flou: Now now princess, it's not that bad. Your cousin will appreciate it that we came out here to greet her! You really need to start to...

Princess Vi: (turns head and glares at Flou) Don't even start, I had to miss my favorite soap, as well as the 3 hour sale on the Bargain Network!

Flou: Princess, you're speaking in the past tense.

Princess Vi: (starts waving arms)I don't care! If Clara isn't here within the next 10 seconds I'm sending her to Prisoner Island!

Flou: You can't do th... (Vi glares at her again) ... never mind.

Narrator: Just then, from behind comes Princess Vi's Cousin, Cousin Clara. Unfortunately for Vi, Clara heard everything she said. Let's see what Clara will do about her bratty cousin's threat.

Cousin Clara: (grins) What exactly was that you said about me being late cousin?

(Vi spins around, she's struggling to make a smile.)

Princess Vi: (eyebrows twitch) Oh, Cousin Clara, I'm so glad your here! I was so worried!

(Clara extends her hand to shake Vi's. Vi reluctantly takes her hand and weakly shakes it.)

Cousin Clara: (smiles) So cousin, how goes things?

Princess Vi: (still struggling to make a smile) Oh... the same as usual...

(The wind blows some dust past the two cousins. Vi still trying to maintain some composure decides to change the subject.)

Princess Vi: On an entirely different note, let's just get going to the palace! I'll bet you're tired after such a long journey!

Cousin Clara: Well actually I'm not that tired at all! I'd love to see the sights of Little Tokyo!

Princess Vi: (twitching is more noticeable) No, you're tired. We're going to the castle so you can rest.

Cousin Clara: (looks puzzled) No, I'm pretty sure I'm

Princess Vi: (face turns red) NO! YOU'RE TIRED AND NEED TO REST!

Narrator: After a few more minutes, Cousin Clara finally gets Princess Vi's drift if you know what I mean...

Cousin Clara: (sighs) I guess you're right cousin. I am feeling a little tired. (fakes a yawn)

Princess Vi: (happily smiles) I'm glad you could see it my way!

Cousin Clara: Could we at least wait for my right hand maid to get here?

Princess Vi: (expression turns to anger) NO! She can find her way to the palace herself! You've already held up this train long enough sister!

Flou: (correctively) Cousin.

Princess Vi: (turns to Flou and glares at her) THAT'S IT FLOU I'M SENDING YOU TO PRI~

Narrator: Just then, as if it was a miracle... or the producer's way of avoiding the replacement of Flou... Cousin Clara's right hand maid came running up to Cousin Clara.

Maid: (running and panting) Excuse me, Miss Clara! I'm dreadfully sorry for being late!

Narrator: Unfortunately while running up to Cousin Clara, the maid seems to have stepped on Princess Vi's big toe. If anger were measured in water, Princess Vi would amount to a flood of biblical proportions.

Princess Vi: (very upset, and in much pain) Urge to... Off with their heads... Anger... Explosion...

Flou: (looks at Vi) Oh well, out of the frying pan...

Cousin Clara: Ah! Cousin Vi, I'd like you to meet my right hand maid, best friend, and loyal minion Neko Nyo-Nyo.

Neko: (steps forward towards Vi) Hello Miss Vi. It is an honor to meet you!

Princess Vi: THAT'S PRINCESS TO YOU YOU STUPID DEAD B~

Neko: The reason for my tardiness was Miss Clara was having me fetch you a gift. (presents Vi a long violet colored box with a ribbon)

Princess Vi: (face lightens slightly) A present? This had better be good...

(Vi tears off the ribbon and tosses the top of the box off.)

Princess Vi: (eyes fill with tears of joy) Oh this is so awesome!

Narrator: What is it!? I want to see!

Princess Vi: It's what I was going to shop for! A golden diamond studded carrot!

Narrator: That's it? That's what they have on the bargain network? What kind of allowance is that princess getting!

(Cousin Clara and Neko produce a sly grin.)

================================================================================

Narrator: After averting a lethal explosion of anger, Princess Vi, her cousin Clara, Clara's maid Neko, and Vi's Nanny Flou returned to the palace.

Flou: Miss Clara, please forgive your cousin. It's been a stressful week for her.

Cousin Clara: (look of concern) Oh dear. What's been bugging Vi?

Flou: Well, on Monday there was a zit. On Tuesday she almost had a pack of REAL sugar with her tea. On Wednesday her father~

Neko: How is the old emperor doing?

Flou: Emperor Fred? He's doing as fine as can be expected for himself at any rate.

(Flou leads Clara and Neko to a room in the palace.)

Flou: Miss Clara... this will be your room for the duration of your stay.

Cousin Clara: (rushes over to the window) Oh my! What a view of the city!

Neko: (sniffing the air) What is that smell? Is something burning?

Flou: Oh, that's the room I'm afraid. You see, this room used to Seymour Cheese's room. Whenever he had a temper tantrum he'd explode. Even though we've spent hundreds of tax-payers dollars on re-building and cleaning his room, we've never been fully able to get the stink out of this room.

(As soon as Flou finished speaking those words, the entire castle echoed with the soothing voice of Princess Vi.)

Princess Vi: FLOU! WHERE ARE YOU! FLOU GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!

Flou: (very worried) Oh dear! Miss Clara if you need anything just ask the servants.

(Flou then darts out of the room)

Flou: (shouts) Hold on princess, I'm coming!

Neko: (looks around, and closes the door) Finally, I thought that dingy nanny would never leave!

Cousin Clara: (nods in agreement) She was probably using us as an excuse to stay away from Vi. Damn that little flop seems twice as bad as usual…

Neko: Well my mistress, how should we proceed?

Cousin Clara: (signals Neko to follow her) Did you get the device?

(Cousin Clara slides open a door and steps into a closet filled with dresses. She then begins to rummage through them looking for something.)

Neko: (a little stunned by all the outfits) Whoa! Y.. Yes ma-m. The engineers are integrating it into the weapon's core systems as we speak. Unfortunately we are still missing a key component needed to utilize the weapon…

Cousin Clara: (nods, then gasps in delight) Ahh! There it is!

(Cousin Clara walks over to a small corner, pulls out a seemingly normal outfit. It is red, with a patch of a fox's face ingrained on both shoulders)

Neko: (puzzled) Madam? What's so special about that? It looks like a fashion wreck!

Cousin Clara: (chuckles, then presses both patches) I know, but it's granting me access to what I want.

(A loud *Clank* as well as the turning of gears can be heard. A section of dresses is then replaced by a doorway with stairs leading down)

Neko: (draws a short dagger) What was that!?

Cousin Clara: (sternly looks at Neko) Calm yourself foolish girl! It's just something left behind by the old Cheese himself.

Neko: (puts the dagger away) What?

Cousin Clara: Neko, we've got a weapon… but what about a robot to utilize it? Did you ever think of that?!

Neko: I've been trying to tell you that for the past week! (feigns ignorance) No ma-m, I suppose not…

(Both begin to journey down the stairs.)

Narrator: Uh-oh! I don't like the looks of this! Cousin Clara looks and sounds like she's up to no good! Upon reaching the bottom, which appears to be a giant storage area, both Clara and Neko see… what!? That can't be! It's a robot! But how!?

Cousin Clara: I'll tell you how you third rate excuse for a Narrator. You see…

Narrator: Actually, I already know how. And since listening to you is like watching paint dry, I'll explain it to the viewers. (clears throat) Engage flashback mode!

(Waves flutter across the screen)

Narrator: Just before the Big Cheese was caught with his hands in the royal cookie jar, he was busy working away at his latest scheme. Having been in contact with his uncle in New York City, and due to a sudden fascination in old western movies, he had begun building a western shooting robot!

Cousin Clara: Hey! I was supposed to do this!

Neko: Shhh! We're getting to the best part!

Cousin Clara: Humph! I'm still getting paid for this!

Narrator: (clears throat) Continuing on… The only thing that the robot was missing was its gun. Ol' Cheesy was busy working on that when he was caught by Princess Vi.

============================================================================================

(The scene changes to the royal kitchen. Seymour is dressed in polka dot pajamas with a matching nightcap.)

Seymour (The Big Cheese): Man… all of this evil plotting is making me hungry. (notices cookie jar on the counter) Oooo! I think that'll help stimulate me!

(While trying to open the jar, Princess Vi walks in rubbing her eyes. She is wearing a blue silk night gown, her hair is in a ponytail, she's wearing bunny slippers… and her face looks like it was painted with a green marker)

Princess Vi: (yawns) Time for a snack… (notices Seymour fiddling with the cookie jar) (eyes shoot wide open) What the?!

(Both stare at each other)

Narrator: Unfortunately for the Big Cheese, he chose the wrong cookie jar to feed from that night! It just so happened to be that the jar in his hand was Princes Vi's "Super Ultra-Deluxe, Hands Off" stash of cookies. That, and he didn't know he was looking at Princess Vi.

Princess Vi: (very angry) Hey bozo! Drop those cookies!

Seymour: (unconcerned) What the? Hey we don't allow sick people in this palace you hear me lady! The hospital's down the road ok? Now beat it!

Princess Vi: (very very angry) Do you have baloney in your ears or something? I said drop the cookies!

(Seymour is getting a little upset, still holding on to the cookie jar he walks over toward Princess Vi)

Seymour: Look… I'm not going to tell you again lady… Beat it!

Princess Vi: Lady!? GIVE ME THE COOKIES YOU DINGBAT! (lunges for the cookie jar)

Narrator: Unfortunately, when Princess Vi made a grab for the cookies, she caused the Big Cheese to loose his grip on the cookie jar which went crashing down to the floor. Saying that Vi was unhappy would be an understatement.

Princess Vi: (worried look) (screams) MY COOKIES!!! (look turns to rage) (face turns red ((including the green stuff on her face))) Seymour…

Seymour: Now look what you made me do~… (realizes Vi is Vi) Ppppp Princess!?

Narrator: And that was it. Princess Vi looked into the Little Tokyo's treasury and noticed that there was nothing left. So the giant gun slinging robot was put on hold! And the rest is history!

(End of flashback)

============================================================================================

Cousin Clara: So I said to Polly, you need to accessorize! I mean, you can't stay looking young forever no matter how you're animated!

Neko: Um… Clara? We're back!

Cousin Clara: We are! (looks towards the camera) Oh! We are! Umm… Yes! As I just said, we will use this robot to use our gun to take over Little Tokyo!

Narrator: You just skipped a whole line of dialogue!

Cousin Clara: Oh yeah! So what?

Neko: Yes, and with the help of our loyal minions we shall rule Little Tokyo, and then the world!

Narrator: What's going on! You two are ad-libbing!

Cousin Clara: Look… I'm tired, I'm going back up to my room, and I'm taking a nap.

Neko: But what about taking over Little Tokyo?

Cousin Clara: That can wait till tomorrow… It's not like anyone can stop us anyway.

(Clara begins walking upstairs)

Neko: (looks at the robot, then at Cousin Clara) (puzzled) If no one can stop us… then why do we wait?
