Lupin: Coming up: Local owl and pussycat tell their love story! Elvis: This is more like gossip than news- Puck: Am I late? Did I miss anything? Baba Mouse: It's not a love story. It's a warning not to trust this opportunistic charlatan- Wicket: Still playing hard to get, I see- Baba Mouse: NOPE. Baba Mouse: Our story begins over 25 years ago- Beatrix: HOLY CAT, IS THAT YOU?! Baba Mouse: Yeah... Baba Mouse: ...I was a babe. Baba Mouse: Ugh. This became a stock photo. It was used in EVERYTHING. Baba Mouse: I was born at the local cat shelter. I was a favorite of the Old Woman who ran it. Baba Mouse: Occasionally the shelter took in other animals. Wicket came to us with a broken wing. Baba Mouse: Every kitten grows up hearing "The Owl and the Pussy Cat." Baba Mouse: It wasn't long before I was in love. Beatrix: I'm more of a "Puss in Boots" fan, myself. Baba Mouse: Clever kitten. Baba Mouse: Soon we were inseparable. Newspapers loved the story. Baba Mouse: However, the Old Woman had her suspicions about how Wicket broke his wing. And she didn't like the way he looked at smaller animals at the shelter... Baba Mouse: But I was young and in love. And you couldn't tell me anything. Baba Mouse: I had hoped for a pea green boat... Baba Mouse: ....But all I got was a shopping cart. Wicket: That shopping cart was our CHARIOT! Baba Mouse: Each wheel was determined to squeak the loudest. Turkey: So...Does this mean you're single, or...? Baba Mouse: Unreal. Baba Mouse: It was exciting for a time, but it wasn't long before he bailed. Wicket: I had to look for a place for us to live. Baba Mouse: For 25 years. . Beatrix: You stranded her?! Baba Mouse: Eh, it was for the best. I wanted kittens, he was an owl... It never would have worked. Baba Mouse: My only regret is the Old Woman passed away before I could return to apologize. Baba Mouse: I always felt bad about that. Baba Mouse: When I did get back, I made a life for myself on a nearby farm, and it's been a good life. Baba Mouse: But mark my words, viewers: This owl is not to be trusted. Wicket: Nice way to talk about the LOVE OF YOUR LIFE! Baba Mouse: I don't know why you're back, but it's not to see me. And you were NOT the love of my life. Baba Mouse: That was Burt's great, great, great grandfather, Beau. Baba Mouse: But that's another story for another time. Burt: Oh, hey Pappy!
