Tuffy's Introduction with Cousin George
(On a black background, Tuffy appears from the upper side of the screen, landing on the middle. He was wearing some familiar martial arts clothes that are blue with a white belt that has a bow, and two red wristbands, matching the same as Goku's. He was performing kung fu moves, until stopping and looking at the viewers.)

Tuffy: (in Japanese accent:) Well, Konichiwa, everyone! (in normal accent:) This means hello. It's me, Nibbles "Tuffy" Mouse. Before you watch Tom and Jerry in Dragon Ball: Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle, our action-adventure martial arts feature production, let me present to you another great cartoon which starts Tom, my Uncle Jerry, our Cousin Muscles, and---

(Before he could mention the name of the last star for the cartoon, a familiar voice, performed by the late Bill Thompson, is heard in the background, surprising Tuffy.)

Voice: AHHHHH!

(Then George Cat, a cat that is now resembling the current appearance of Tom, also arrives, running around like crazy and screaming. He was panicking that he didn't notice Tuffy ahead and accidentally trip over him, knocking both the cat and mouse down.)

Tuffy: Hey! That hurt!

George and Muscles' Return
(One hour later, there is a door bell ringing, in which Tom ran to open the door, Knowing that it would be Tom's cousin George, Jerry took a peep look from his hole. It is indeed George Cat, a cat who resembles Tom. George is carrying a small suitcase, and is bending on the chair for fear of mice coming on the ground, again.)

Cousin George: (gleefully:) He...Hello, cousin. How...how do you do?

(Tom nodded with a smile.)

Cousin George: Well... are there any mice?

(Tom shook his head.)

Cousin George: (meekly:) Are you sure?

(Again, Tom nodded.)

Cousin George: Okay, if you say so.

(So, George slowly got down from the chair as Tom picked up his suitcase. Jerry smiled, for he realize that George is still afraid of mice. First problem solved. Back with the two house cats, Tom noticed something unfamiliar about George.)

Tom: Huh?

(He then pointed to George's tail, and the camera shows that the tail is now totally white.)

Cousin George: Oh, it's a long story, Cousin Tom. Long story.

(Jerry then hid himself for a moment as Tom and George walked passed the hole. Once they did, Jerry looked behind them. He noticed that George's tail is while, and he is walking with fear while Tom's tail is normal. Jerry got delighted and started celebrating. Looks like the second problem is solved. Now he finally knows which is Tom, and which is George. As he is celebrating, there is another door bell in which Jerry ran to open the mouse-hole-shaped door. It's none other than his cousin, Muscles Mouse. He is wearing a green bowler hat, and a yellow shirt with a black strip-like line.)

Muscles: (smiling:) So, cousin. What's up, eh? It's been a while.

(Jerry nodded in excitement.)

Muscles: Well, I have a lot of things to tell you, but the best one happened yesterday.

Differences Between George and Tom/One Cousin vs the Two Cousins
(The moment Muscles enter Jerry's hole, the scene dissolve into the next sequence where the strong mouse is telling Jerry what happened yesterday. He learned some wrestling moves by watching television and applied it to the cats as part of his 'training'. There were so many cats lying around everywhere in Hogan's Alley that he termed it as a 'Cat Massacre'. After hearing about it, Jerry laughed a little.)

Jerry: Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Muscles: (smiling:) Pretty funny. In fact, today there is not a single cat going around the Hogan's Alley. So I thought that I would come on a visit.

(Jerry shook Muscles' hand as a sign of thanks.)

Muscles: I think I'm a bit hungry, cousin. Do you have something to eat?

Jerry: (nodding:) Mm-hmm.

(The brown mouse then grabbed his cousin, and once they're outside, Jerry pointed to Tom and George, who are busy watching TV.)

Muscles: (scornful:) Hey, is that the pussycat who is still bothering you?

Jerry: (nodding:) Mm-hmm.

Muscles: (surprised:) But then, why are there two pussycats? They look so similar.

(Then Jerry dragged Muscles back into the hole and started explaining to Muscles about what happened. It is a bit difficult since Tom and Jerry can't talk, and they always made their vocals such as laughing, grunting, screaming, etc. But with a drawing and facial expression, Muscles finally understand after sometime.)

Muscles: So it seems that Tom has a cousin, which seems to be so similar that you thought that the pussycat is frightened of you, and his name is George?

Jerry: (nodding:) Hmph!

Muscles: Then the two gang up to scare you by pretending to fuse into a two-headed cat with form arms. And that's how you got to know that there are actually two cats with one of them being the pussycat's cousin.

Jerry: (nodding:) Mm-hmm.

Muscles: (determined:) Well, they may have defeated you, but they won't be able to beat me. And I will make them pay for frightening my little cousin. (confused:) But then, could there be any difference between them.

Jerry: (wiggling his tail and groaning:) Mmmm!

(The brown mouse did a drawing of it, and show it to his cousin.)

Muscles: So the white tail is George's, while the normal tail is Thomas?

Jerry: (nodding:) Mm-hmm.

(Having known everything now, Muscles devised a plan and called it 'Operation: Steal the Food and Scare the Cats'. The plan is that he will go and teach Tom and George a lesson, while Jerry will go and take whatever food he can from the fridge and others. Jerry understood the plan.)

Muscles: Well, then, cousin. Let's start the operation, shall we?

Jerry: (nodding:) Mm-hmm.

(He slowly went to the fridge, while Muscles walked slowy to Tom and George.)

Muscles: (thinking:) Whichever is Tom's cousin, I'm pretty sure that I had seen him in Hogan's Alley.

(Two minutes later, Tom and George continue to watch television.)

Cousin George: It's nice to have a peace and quiet atmosphere with no mice between us.

(Tom gladly nodded at his cousin as they both continue to watch TV. Little do they know, that Muscles is climbing up the circular table. He then looked at the cat's faces sideways, and recognize their faces. But then, he still doesn't know which is Tom, and which is George.

Muscles: (thinking:) ''Now it's crystal clear that one of them I can recognized at Hogan's Alley. Hey! I got an idea.''

(The strong brown mouse then climbed down the circular table. He ran and climbed up the dining table, grabbing the glass. Muscles then climb back up to the circular table. After waiting for three seconds, he smashed the glass. Tom and George then jumped up, and the next thing they saw is Muscles Mouse carrying a half broken glass.)

Cousin George: (jumping in fright:) AHHH! A MOUSE!

(The cowardly cat then jumped on Tom.)

Muscles: I'm pretty sure you know me, do you, Cousin George?

Cousin George: Huh?

Tom: Huh?

(George looked at him for a split second before he suddenly suffered a mental breakdown. It's him! George became horrified! Horrible flashbacks starts to circle around his head. Then George suddenly remember the last time, Muscles knocked him down cold and hung him on a clothes' line. George started leaping in fright.)

Cousin George: OH, NO! It's him! Muscles Mouse! I don't want to die! Please save me, Cousin Tom!

(When Muscles walked up closely to Tom and George, the scared cat then became entirely white, cried in fright, and hide behind his cousin.)

Muscles: So, now you finally remember me, eh?

(George nodded in fright)

Muscles: What about you, Tom?

Tom: (nervously nodding:) Uh-huh.

Muscles: Very good. Now it's time for you two to get a serious thrashing from me for pickin' on my little cousin.

(Tom then whispered to George, who quickly understand what to do. Then they joined together to become a two-headed, four-armed and four-legged cat with a thought that they could frighten Muscles. However, much to thir surprise and shock, Muscles isn't afraid at all. Instead, he just stared at them and spit at them.)

Muscles: Pfft! You think I will be scared of that? Here! Eat this!

(For the third time, Muscles blows on this thumb, inflating his fist to its gigantic size like a balloon. Then he punches Tom and George square in the face with great gusto, sending them flying. Tom crashed into the clock, while George crashed into the wall. He is going to feel the pain in the hands of Muscles Mouse again. Muscles then approached George, and the Tom-look-alike went back in fear. He is trapped between the walls and the superstrong mouse.)

Cousin George: Please...please, don't murder-- I mean hit me.

(Muscles said nothing. He just grabs him by the fur on his chest. George's heart is beating like steam hammer, and his fear level is on the rise.)

Muscles: (smiling evilly:) Now where we here. Cousin meeting cousin.

Cousin George: Cousin... Cousin of who?

Muscles: Why? I'm the cousin of the mouse you had been pickin' with.

Cousin George: Wait! You mean--?

(George's question is interrupted when Muscles is lifting George up with his great strength.)

Cousin George: Ahh! What are you doing?! Put me down, Muscles! Please, I'll do anything!

(Meanwhile, Tom got up after being down for sometime. He then immediately saw, to his horror, that Muscles is holding George up. While he grabbed a broom, another problem arrived. Tom saw Jerry taking a bunch of cheese and sausages from the fridge. Great! Now Thomas is in dilemma. What should he do now? Should he go and try to rescue his cousin from the wrath of Muscles? Or should he go and chase Jerry? Tom looked left and right so quickly that his eyes are left spinning. Tom decided to go for the second option and he started to chase Jerry, However, Jerry saw coming.)

Jerry: Aah!

(He ran right straight to the hole. Tom then jumped towards Jerry, but the mouse went back to his hole, and the cat went straight to the wall. Back with Muscles, he is still holding the trembling George up and threw him across the wall. The force of the throw into the wall makes George withered in pain.)

Cousin George: (meekly:) Please, Muscles. I'm sorry! I'm sorry that I scared your cousin. Please...don't do this. I don't deserve to be killed, even by you.

Muscles: Really? It's a real shame that your cousin couldn't come to rescue you. All he thinks about is food, so rather than saving you, he is chasing my cousin instead. And yes, it is pointless for me to kill you. But I'm afraid, I have no other choice.

(George then shunk his eye pupils in horror, meaning to hear from Muscles that he is about to die. But then, from out of nowhere, a broom whacked Muscles from behind. It is Tom.)

Cousin George: (amazed:) Cousin Tom! Oh, my dear cousin! You saved me!

(Tom smiled, but then suddenly, he and the broom got lifted up.)

Tom: Wha--?

(Muscles is lifting up the broom, while Tm is clutching it.)

Muscles: You think you can whack me with a puny broom, Thomas? How about this?!

(And with the broom, he continuously slammed Tom, who was holding it. After a few slams, Tom is left being dizzy. George could only watch this in horror. Then Muscles grabs Tom by the fur on his chest.)

Muscles: It seems that you have forgotten about me the last time we met. Now look at me, and tell me if you remember anything.

(Tom gazed at him for sometime. It is then looked at him with horror in his eyes. He now clearly remembers everything from getting punched in the face to getting bowled into ten pins. He clearly remembered everything. Lots of sweat is rolling down around him. Then he start mention his enemy's name. This is the another occasional times when Tom or Jerry talks.)

Muscles: Well? Who am I?

Tom: (spoken nervously:) C-C-C-Cousin... M-M-M-Muscles?!

Muscles: Exactly.

(Back with George, he has had enough! Grabbing the broom, he rushed towards Muscles.)

Cousin George: (determined:) I won't let you hurt my cousin!

(Unfortunately, Muscles tripped him with his foot, and George landed flat on his face.)

Muscles: Now, Cousin George. It's time to show you my strength. So happy napping.

(And with that said, he lift Tom up and threw the cat's legs out in front of George to spin them out while he simultaneously falls backwards or forwards, causing Tom to land on his face and upper body. Tom is then unconscious once again.)

George's Rage and Retreat/The Animal Wrestling Federation Match
(A few seconds later, George woke up and then becomes even more frightened, when he saw Muscles standing on Tom's head.)

Cousin George: (scared:) What...What did you do to him?

Muscles: Oh. Just demonstrated my strength to poor Tom. Shall I do the same to you?

(There is a bit of silence as the still-scared George stared at Muscles, before he then starts getting angry. Muscles looked on in surprise as George is growing angrier and angrier as if he is moving onto an explodable rage. Then he let out a lour road-- or an angry scream.)

Cousin George: (enraged:) NOOOOOOOO!

(This scares Muscles into jumping off Tom's head. George then grabbed his luggage and carried the unconscious Tom, still raging)

Cousin George: From this day onward, I will never, eve come to this place again! Especially when you and your cousin are around.

(He calms down for a minute, and in confusion, asks Muscles who is his cousin.)

Cousin George: What's his name, like I wanted to know in his first place.

Muscles: His name...

(Soon, Jerry arrived as Muscles finishes his sentence.)

Muscles: ...is Jerry.

Cousin George: Oh, is that so. (moves back to his rage) Now listen to this! I will not forget about all this humiliation you caused me and Tom, and someday, you and Jerry are gonna pay! GOOD BYE!

(And then, George left the house, carrying his luggage and Tom with him, disappearing out of sight. Muscles breathed himself for a moment.)

Muscles: What's gotten into him. He needs to calm down before his blood pressure goes higher to weaken his body and lifespan.

(Then he turned to Jerry.)

Muscles: Well, that was fun while it lasted.

(Jerry nodded before secretly looking worried about what might happen to George, and most importantly, Tom. But Muscles catch him quite quickly.)

Muscles: (confused:) Hey, what was your concern about? Aren't you happy to be rid of your troubles with Tom?

(????)

Muscles: (gently) Don't worry, cousin. I would never take the life out of the bodies of either Tom or George, which means killing. It's a shame your nephew Tuffy cannot see any violence, especially blood-draining ones, because his mother, your sister Geraldine, wouldn't let him do so. At least, it's for his own good. Am I right, Jer?

Jerry: (spoken once:) Right, Cousin Muscles.

Muscles: (thinks for a moment:) Oh, yeah! Did you bring any food?

Jerry: (nodding) Mm-hmm.

(He pointed out the food that he took from the fridge mainly: cheese, sausages, jelly, etc. They are lying outside the mouse hole.)

Muscles: Well them, cousin. It's time to celebrate in style. Let's watch TV and eat."

(Upon hearing this, Jerry jumped with joy)

Jerry: Whoo-hoo-hoooo!

(The two mice then carried the food one by one to the circular table and sofa. 15 minutes later, Jerry and Muscles are now sitting on the sofa, eating cheese and drinking their red wine. Jerry climbed down the sofa and ran to switch on the TV, and then went to the circular table for the remote control to change the channel, just in case Muscles doesn't like that channel. After a few channel switching...)

Muscles: (excited:) Wait, cousin, stop! There's an Animal Wrestling Federation Match going on here! Boy, I'm so excited!

(Jerry then went back to the sofa and smiled when he looked at his cousin enjoying the match as the two mice are watching the animal wrestlers fighting each other. The scenes ends, fading into the darkness. Now it's onto the closing titles.)

(The End)

(A Tom and Jerry Cartoon)

"Keep Watching..." (bonus ending scene)
(On a black background, Tuffy, wearing his white diaper again, is standing in the middle of the screen with Tom, Jerry and George standing behind him, all looking at the viewers with smiles.)

Tuffy: So, this is one of my favorite Tom and Jerry cartoons of the 21st century.

Jerry: Yes, it is, Tuffy.

Tom: And Cousins George and Muscles, and even the two of us did pretty well acting inside this short.

Tuffy: Thank you for commenting, Tom and Uncle Jer. Now, I'm sorry that I hate doing to upset you guys, but we cannot afford to present any more cartoons featuring all of us, including Cousins George and Muscles.

Cousin George: (confused:) But... but why?

Familiar Voice: (angrily:) ''What do you mean why? The audience are wanting to watch this new Tom and Jerry feature like he told.''

(Muscles Mouse then arrives, before Tom, Jerry, Tuffy and Cousin George.)

Muscles: Or says me?

Cousin George: (turning white suddenly:) AHHHHHHHHH! (flees)

Tuffy: Yep, that's Muscles alright. The moment he sees a super-strong mouse like him, he runs away.

Muscles: He is just what he is. Anyway, Tuffy, do you have anything else to say to our viewers.

Tuffy: Yeah. I suddenly realized about it, Guess I got a bit carried away frightening George by telling that I am a mouse, not a rat.

Muscles: Don't push yourself too hard, Tuffy. You, Tom and Jerry will carry out with your announcements. (glares to where George have disappeared:) I got to have some business with George.

(The strong mouse stretched his diaper and digs his arm into it, confusing Tuffy.)

Muscles: And pardon me for doing this.

(He pulls out his magic fan from Tom and Jerry Meet Frosty the Snowman, unfolds it and lets go of Tuffy's diaper. Muscles then jumped away from Tuffy, Tom and Jerry.)

Muscles: Magic fan, make me grow! Human child size!

(????)

Muscles: George, come back here!

(????)

Cousin George (off-screen): (scared:) No! Get away from me!

(????)

Tuffy: Okay, fellas. Enough violence viewing here. You must now stick to keep watching after the credits for a look at Funimation's Dragon Ball 40th Anniversary Fan Club and Sweepstakes, newly returned in 2027.

Tom: Followed by Tom and Jerry in Tom and Jerry in Dragon Ball: Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle.

Jerry: Don't miss your chance to see how return for more adventures with Goku and the gang.

Tom, Jerry and Tuffy: Until then, good bye for now!
