Naoko Takeuchi draws the pics herself.They're very kawaii But people who like the N.A. dubbed version, probably will be easily bored and mabey even lost by this: the drawings are drawn by Naoko Takeuchi,and have a difference; the plot go by the Japanese manga(comics)ect. Bunny gets yelled at by her sensei(teacher),Miss Patricia Haruna,for being late. And you can tell that Bunny isn't all that bright by seeing her score a 30 on her English test^_^. Her friends get introduced"Hey Bunny How'd ya do on the quiz?"Melvin pops up @_@,"Here's our class nerd Melvin.He's gross(Bunny)."I can't believe how much you pork out, Bunny.You're like a guy!"Molly interupts. they start chatting about the test, when they overhear that there was another jewelry robbery last night...(skipping sone lines)... Molly and Bunny go to the jewelery shop, which Molly's mom owns. There's a big holiday sale, and they look at some rubys and yellow diamonds wishing they could afford it(it's not on sale). Molly's mom come greets her, but little do they know that she's a daimon from the negaverse trying to steal energy *.*!Bunny wanted some jewelery, but realized her dad wouldn't buy her that with a 30. She gets all depressed again and starts walking home, throwing her quiz away. It hits a shonen(boy)(guy in this case) on the head(I wonder who *.*) He calls Bunny cowtails which steams her up and she says they're called pigtails stupid. . He sees her score and replies "Who's calling who stupid,pigtails" she gets so annoyed and leaves. He sees the jewelery shop and says mabey he can find the silver imperium crystal here. Bunny stops at the arcade and starts playing a game when the guy who works there,Andrew, says hi.(and surprisingling she has a crush on him)the neko she met this morning comes up to them.
