Dedicated in loving memory of Spud the Crocodile Gecko. Died 26/6/05. I miss you buddy!

The scene opens with a view of the temple doors flying open and then slamming back as Raimundo pressed himself against then, ribs heaving with the fatigue of running all the way from Chase Young's cave. The other dragons had the common sense to ride Dojo home and were attempting to play Texas Hold 'em (and failing miserably because they couldn't hold the cards).

"What took you?" Kimiko asked dropping her hand all over the floor.

Rai's face turned red.

"What took me? Did you not just see what Chase Young did?" Raimundo spluttered while attempting to clean himself with one shaky paw.

"Nope." Kim said trying to collect up her cards again.

Rai shook off his fear and looked around at Omi, Clay and Kimiko, seeming perfectly content with just playing cards.

"Well…" Rai asked.

There was a brief moment of silence.

"Well what Rai?" Kimiko said.

"Well, have we all forgotten about my brilliant plan?" Raimundo growled.

"Go do it then genius." Kimiko said scratching her ear with her hind paw.

"Aren't you going to help me?" Rai asked.

"Nope." Clay said

"It's your plan." Kimiko enforced.

Rai's face went red again. "Fine then!" He pouted storming (as kittens do) off into the sleeping quarters.

After a couple of minutes of rustling and clattering noises, with the occasional yelp of frustration, Raimundo called.

"Has anyone seen my white hoodie?" Rai asked

"What is it with you and that hoodie?" Clay asked scratching his ear.

"It's a visual aid! Like some character's eyes or hair change colour, I wear a different shirt!" Raimundo pouted.

"Like Bull in B-daman?" Clay asked.

"Or Raven in Teen Titans?" Kimiko asked.

"Yes. Just like Bull and Raven." Raimundo sighed, his eyes rolling back.

"So what good is a visual aid in a script written fiction like this one?" Kimiko asked.

Raimundo fell silent for a second, the looked up at the sky.

"Yeah writer, what is with a visual aid in a scrip-French... Baal… whatever Kimiko said!" Raimundo growled.

I shrug and take another sip at my glass of tomato juice and chomp on another handful of frozen peas.

"…Stupid writer…" Raimundo sneered.

"Now Raimundo, I thought after all this time you would learn not to question the powers of the great writer!" Omi said tearing a roll of toilet paper to shreds.

"Where did you get that toilet paper from Omi?" Raimundo asked.

"Outer web!" Omi said.

"I think you mean Internet." Kimiko corrected.

"I KNOW WHAT I MEAN!" Omi exploded, his voice so loud it blew the three dragon cats across the room.

"Whoa! What happened there?" Raimundo asked, trying to pull himself out from under Clay.

"Oh, he's been like that ever since he started drinking out of the toilet." Kimiko said.

"Cats aren't supposed to drink out of the toilet! I bet this is the writers doing!" Raimundo barked.

"No, actually I just like to drink out of the toilet!" Omi said.

There was a moment of silence, first broken by Raimundo stating:

"Anyway… Have any of you seen my hoodie?" Raimundo asked.

"Sure have, its in Kimiko's room." Clay said.

"Thanks Clay! But what is it doing in your room Kim?" Rai asked.

"I've been cuddling it when I sleep…" She said awkwardly shuffling her feet.

"Rai looked at her worried. "Why?" He asked.

"Because I'm insecure." Kimiko said shakily.

"Oh, that explains everything! Come on Dojo, let's go fix my shirt!" Raimundo said chirpily.

Raimundo left and Clay and Kimiko looked at each other.

"That's a week of chores you owe me Kimiko!" Clay grinned.

"Darn it! I really thought he'd freak out!" Kimiko growled.

There is one of those black fade outs indicating a fifteen minute break.

The fade re-opens at a scene of Raimundo at the door of Katnappa's ocean view Condo. The air was heavy with the smell of wet fur and fresh fish.

Raimundo straightened his hoodie, licked his paw and ran it through his hair to flatten it down and tried to make himself look as cute as possible. He raised a paw to knock on the door, and then lowered it. This would make it too obvious. After thinking for a minute, he extended his claws and scratched at the door, finding it to be more fun than he had first expected, he got carried away.

The door opened and Rai fell flat on his face. He scrambled to his feet and looked up into the deep eyes of Katnappa.

"Hey Katnappa… What's up?" Raimundo asked shakily.

All Katnappa heard was an adorable squeaky "Mau!" sound.

One of Katnappa's eyebrows rose as she looked down at the mauing mass of tanned fur adorned in a white hooded top.

Wuya hovered over Katnappa's shoulder. "What is it now Katnappa…" Wuya said, but stopped, her eyes widening and breathing in deeply "RAIMUNDO?" She gasped.

"Mau?" Raimundo squeaked.

Wuya's shocked expression suddenly became an evil grin as she smiled down on him, sniggering. "So, have you come to beg for mercy?" Wuya laughed.

"Mau." Raimundo squeaked.

"What?" Wuya asked.

"Mau." Rai Squeaked again.

"I don't understand…" Wuya asked.

Rai's little kitten face turned Red.

"MAU!" He snapped, then suddenly realised that humanoids must hear only his cat speech.

He flopped the white hood over his head and pawed it down into position, hoping that Wuya would understand his action.

Wuya's evil grin fell into a considering gaze. "So, you want to join us Raimundo?" Wuya asked.

"Mau!" Raimundo nodded smiling (if cats can smile), relieved that she finally understood.

"Well forget it! You betrayed me once, how can I trust you?" Wuya snapped.

Raimundo thought for a second then turned his head round and grabbed the sword of the storm from a sheath on his back with his teeth. He put the sword on the floor and nudged it towards her with his nose.

"The sword of the storm?" Wuya asked.

Raimundo shook his head and pointed at the base of the sword. Affixed to the base was the eye of Dashi.

Wuya looked for a second, rubbing her chin. "I'm still not sure…"

"Oh just let him join already! It'll be nice to have a tomcat around here! Plus he is really cute!" Katnappa said Picking Raimundo up and looking into his wide, frightened eyed. "We're going to have a lot of fun together!" Katnappa grinned walking inside.

"Nooo!" (Or more like "Mau!") Raimundo called, struggling to escape as the door closed behind them.

COMMERCIAL BREAK! Lets all go write an angry letter to your mother for not letting you have a cat! Don't forget the dog poop!
