[The singers pause and everyone looks up through the crystal-clear ice ceiling. The full moon shines brightly. At first the surrounding sky seems jet black, then something starts to appear... it is the Rainbow Bridge! After a minute, it appears more brightly and distant voices can be heard coming from the it...]

Deerhartz, we kin heer yew
Deerhartz, we kin see yewww
We ar weighting up abuv
Ana we ar still yewr own tru luvz.

[Everyone looks for their special loved ones that are now at the bridge. Various kitties and friends call out as they recognize their special departed ones. Those at the bridge look down and wave to their friends below.]


[At the Bridge, Laura, a little white cat with just three legs and one gold and one blue eye, plays the final echoing refrain on flute. She cheek smooches her wed wink Vinnie of the House of Rennie and gives her brofur Ralph de Ralf, who is holding paws with his wed wink Kissa, a playful hedbonk.]
