At the end of her shift on the bridge, Amelia made her way inside to her quarters to get some well-deserved rest. There, she saw Kitty already lying in her bed with a grip around her plush toy cat. Amelia stopped simply to gaze at the girl, smiling down upon Kitty, her friend. Amelia found she had become very fond of this new friend of hers. Kitty reminded her a great deal of her deceased sister, Victoria. She smiled at that observation, realizign that the only difference between the two was that Tory wouldn't of threatened to give her a tail if Amelia annoyed her.
Amelia sighed then, and stretched her weary muscles. She then undressed and laid herself down, weary at the end of the day. As she snuggled in, she thought happily of Kitty as some younger sister of hers, and didn't want anything to happen to her. She promised herself that she and Arrow would look after her just as long as they both lived. Amelia smiled as Kitty turned over in her sleep, putting a hand around Amelia's slim waist. Amelia, as she fell asleep, returned the favor, putting one her her arms around Kitty´s waist. The two felinid then slept just like that until the next morning.
That day Kitty gave Amelia a few more tips on how to become more popular with her crew. She taught her how to sing and dance---a little--- and soon Kitty and Amelia were going to show everyone that Amelia could prove to be a teen herself. Amelia traversed her way up to her usual place on the bridge, while Kitty headed down on deck. There Kitty boomed out, "So...does anyone want to hear another song?"
Cadet and crewman alike cheered boisteriously at the idea.
"I thought so," Kitty laughed and started singing, while dancing in a very teenage girlish sort of way (i.e., with hip movements and a slight shaking of her behind):
Macavity's a mystery cat, he's called the hidden paw
For he's a master criminal who can defy the law
He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair
For when they reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there!
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare
And when you reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there!
You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air
But I tell you once and once again Macavity's not there!
Then everybody got a shock as Amelia started walking down the stairs and started singing her to while dancing precicely as Kitty just that she sung solo:
Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin
You would know him if you saw him for his eyes are sunken in
His brow is deeply lined in thought, his head is highly domed
His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed
He sways his head from side to side with movements like a snake
And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
He's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity
You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square
But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!
At this point, Kitty sang and danced, inviting Amelia to join in, both she and Amelia each taking one line in turn:
Kitty: He's outwardly respectable,
Amelia: I know he cheats at cards
Kitty: And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard's
Amelia: And when the larder's looted
Kitty: Or the jewel case is rifled
Amelia: Or when the milk is missing
Kitty: Or another peke's been stifledAmelia: Or the greenhouse glass is broken
Kitty: And the trellis past repair
Together: There's the wonder of the thing Macavity's not there!
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
There never was a cat of such deceitfulness and suavity
He always has an alibi and one or two to spare
What ever time the deed took place Macavity wasn't there!
And they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
Kitty: I might mention Mungojerrie,
Amelia: I might mention Griddlebone
Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time
Just controls the operations: the Napoleon of crime!
All spacers aboard---by now at least---knew what was coming next---having heard this particular song numerous times---and gladly sang together with the felinid duo the last few lines:
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
He's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity
You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square
But when a crime's discovered then Macavity
Macavity, Macavity, Macavity
When a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!
All aboard cheered at the singing and capering duo.
"Great job, Captain!" a ursinid spacer called out, whistling his approval.
Alexander clapped enthusiastically "I knew you had it in you!" Alexander continued.
"Awesome work, Cap'n!" the elephantine helmsman said, clapping.
"I told you so," Kitty said smugly to Amelia, who just laughed along with everybody else.
