"Bomba, this is your stupidest idea yet."
Demeter looked in her mirror in disgust. Her sister had styled her headfur so it was silky and straight, with one curl hanging over her right eye. Her lips had been painted bright red; her eyes overly lined in black and shadowed heavily with emerald green. Replacing her usual spiked collar was a diamond necklace, acquired by Teazer.
"You and Munk need to express your love for each other," Bomba pouted. "Munk's too stubborn and….Munk-ish to do this."
She than proceeded to push Demeter out of the den, and onto the tire.
"Bomba…no…no," Demeter protested, but to no avail.
She heard a loud voice announce to the Junkyard.
"Queens and Toms! Kittens of all ages! For your pleasure, we present Demeter! The singing Queen!"
Tugger walked back after his little announcement.
"Good luck doll," he purred.
Demeter gave his shin a good kick, before Bomba pushed her out in front of every cat. The jazz music started playing, and she shakily began to sing.
I'd rather be blue
Thinking of you
I'd...rather be blue
Over you
Than be happy
With somebody else
She looked to the side at Bomba. Her sister was frowning.
"Smile!" she hissed furiously, pointing at her own flirty smile. Demeter immediately copied her sister's smile.
I'm crazy about 'cha
Without 'cha
For you I'm strong
I can't do without-out 'cha
Howtcha magoutgha!
There were some wolf whistles from the Toms watching. Demeter grinned. She was beginning to enjoy herself.
Don't stay too long!
I need a little
Ahh
Little Ooo
Little Ohh
And I'm knockin' on wood
She stepped to the left and knocked on Tugger's head. Everyone laughed. She stepped to the right and put her hand under Munkustrap's chin. More wolf whistles.
A honey hurry up!
Hurry up!
Hurry up!
It's so hard to be good
She stepped away from him, letting him stumble forward.
I'd rather be blue
Thinking of you
I'd rather be blue over you
Than be happy!
With some-body e-else
Demeter was starting to really get into it. As she sang, she walked from Tom to Tom. First to Alonzo, flicking his nose with her tail.
Would I be good?
Would I be bad?
Don't be a fool, you fool!
She strolled over to Admetus, stroking his cheek with her finger.
My little flat
I'm turning that
Into a Sunday school
She walked back to Munkustrap, pulling him up onto the tire with her.
While you're away
I'm here to say
They'll be no iceman there
Singing the blues
I'm gonna use nothing
But Frigidaire!
Demeter let go of his paw and started walking around, swinging her hips flirtatiously.
I'd rather be blue!
Thinking of you!
I'd rather be blue!
Over you!
Than be hap-hap-hap-happy!
With somebody
E-e-e-e-e-e-e-else!
As the music ended she pulled Munkustrap towards her by his headfur, kissing him.
Everyone started to clap, as the two cats broke away from the kiss. Demeter blushed deep scarlet. She was never like she had just been! She started to scamper off the tire, but Munkustrap grabbed her paw. He spun her around and kissed her again. He broke away grinning.
"Well that was a bit out of character," he chuckled.
Demeter sighed and rolled her eyes. "Bomba's idea. Tugger was in on it too."
Munkustrap nuzzled her. "I thought it was great."
Demeter nuzzled him back. "I love you Straps."
He kissed her once again. "I love you too, Demy."
Behind a junk pile, Bomba gave Tugger a passionate kiss.
"I told you my idea would work!" she grinned.
Tugger grinned back. "Great work Bombs."
Bomba sighed. "Now maybe those two will show each other a little more love."
Tugger smiled. "Yeah, I've never seen Dem like that before."
Bomba snickered. "That my friend, was the magic of a little makeup."
