(Characters belong to Wolfgang Reitherman and Walt Disney Pictures.)

Paris, France:

As we all know, was going to Thomas O'Malley ask Duchess to go with him to a honeymoon in Venice with him. As Thomas tell Duchess about the trip to Venice and everything else, she replied:

"Well, what do you think?" - Ask Thomas

"Oh, that sounds fantastic Thomas" - responded Duchess very enthusiastically "I love it, I love it very much!"

At that time, the Duchess's face changed of expression, and happy passage of some concern.

"But ..." - Duchess said looking worried-"I do not know if we can do it"

"Why not?" - Asked Thomas

"Is ... Who will care for my children? - Said Duchess a little worried- "You planned all this for you and me, but Madame is also planning to go on honeymoon with George, and we cannot leave them alone."

"Yeah, I guess you're right *sigh*" - said O'Malley disillusioned - "Well, at least I tried"

"Yes, you did and I congratulate you on this, Thomas" - Duchess said placing a kiss on his cheek, this made O'Malley feel much better and blush a little.

"Thanks, babe" - said Thomas with a smile even flushed the kiss she gave to him

Duchess smiled and then went to the room to check on the children. And Thomas also left the place, thinking about how they might go to Venice without any problem.

Next day:

Madame took her cats for a walk through the streets of Paris while she went shopping. As they walked through the streets of the city, enjoying the endless wonders who had to offer.

When walking into a hat shop, which they did not expect is that the friend of Adelaide appeared; Madame Mauvaise.

"Oh, dear Adelaide but what a unexpected surprise to see you" - answered Mauvaise very surprised

And then the two began to talk about how they had gone in recent years and had not been seen and how they had fared.

When both finished talking, Mauvaise her showed to her friend, her beloved pet who stood beside her.

It was a cat of Persian breed. She was tall and large (the same height as Duchess) had violet eyes, had gray with white skin, had a little makeup on the eyes and on the mouth, and even had a huge bow at the neck that was like the Marie but this was the same color as his eyes and had glitters in it, and even appeared to be well cared for and educated.

Indeed, it was the cat of Mauvaise: *Porshia.

When Adelaide saw her cat, could not avoid to comment how beautiful she looked and how much he had grown.

Then the two tied the straps of they cats on a post that was close to the hat shop and both were still talking.

Duchess already knew Porshia for a long time. Both also attended to a school of manners, but for cats. Porshia and Duchess were in the same grade, and Duchess was who always step ahead and earned the respect of all those around her. Porshia since developed a very big grudge towards her, but Duchess was not aware of that and not now.

When both were talking for a while, Duchess began to introduce your family.

"Porshia, he's my husband Thomas O'malley" - Duchess said featuring her husband Thomas before her

"Thomas, she is a childhood friend, her name is Porshia" - she told him to O'malley introducing him to her friend.

"Bonjour Mademoiselle" - O'malley said cordially greeting the friend of his wife-"Duchess told me a lot about you and also told me that you are a teacher in etiquette and discipline"

"That's right. I am an expert in how to behave and how to educate others in a disciplined manner, appropriate and sound" - Poshia replied in a tone friendly and polite.

This left O'malley a little surprised to hear this and an idea came to mind.

"Hey, is it true that you got a diploma for being the best teacher in aristocratic manners for apprentices?" - Ask O'malley all perplexed

"Well yes, I am" - said the cat flattered

"Well you see, we have three little children we would like that you will educate and take care of them for us while we are in Venice on our honeymoon" - answered O'malley

"I'd love to, but I think ..." - And this was interrupted by what he said

"No, not a problem for me and my wife is fine" - said and went to his wife-"Right Duchess?

"I do not know dear," said Duchess a little nervous

"Come on babe, this is an opportunity for children to learn from a real expert while you and I can rest easy on our honeymoon in Venice!" - Thomas answered trying to convince his wife

Duchess began to think, she believed that if it was a long-time friend and you can trust and love, surely he would have nothing to worry about while they were both out of town.

But it took a while, because she do not want to leave their children alone, much less if they were outside and far away.

What if something bad happen to them or if they lost and not ever see them again?

"Come on babe, do it for the kids and for us" - He said as he began to flirt a bit to try to convince her

Apparently, she was very convinced. For the sake of their children to learn some manners and be real Aristocats.

"Okay, you've convinced me!" - Duchess answered convinced and kissing her husband

Porshia then turned around for a moment, because she said she had to think about it. But instead of thinking about it she said, thinking to herself;

'Great, now I have to take care of their brats while they have fun on their honeymoon ... perhaps ... on second thought ... "

At that moment, an evil smile will be drawing on her face and her eyes began to get a red glow. Apparently up to no good against Duchess and her family.

She turned and said;

"Okay, you've convinced me too" - said Porshia with a big smile on his face-"I think I can take care of their ... children"

Thomas at that time was very happy and gave a sigh of relief. It seems that everything was going perfectly, but never expected what said Porshia later.

"But with one condition" - Said Porshia this time putting serious face and a look strict

Duchess and O'Malley looked at each other with faces of concern

"Which one?" - Said while asking both doubtful

"Getting paid the price that I put" - I answer Porshia in a serious way and this left perplexed the two-"It's the only condition I ask, getting paid"

Duchess and Thomas were now very concerned that having to pay would cost them a lot. But as they had no choice, they have to accept.

"*Sigh* okay" - Answer Duchess being rendered, "but we hope to take good care of our kittens"

"It's a deal!" - Porshia said very satisfied and giving leg to Duchess and Thomas to close the deal

Duchess then gave his paw and closed the deal just like Thomas did. At that time, Duchess stepped aside and showed to her their kitties who apparently had fallen asleep, with the time they were talking, they were playing and probably got bored and fell asleep.

Porshia to disguise them with a smile that they were very cute and she would be happy to bring them up while they were gone. But inside her, she do not like it at all. And as his gaze remained in Marie, began to feel a sense very, very unpleasant and strong.

At that moment, appeared Adelaide with Mauvaise who left the store with a large shipment of hat boxes in their arms.

"Well, it was a pleasure to see you Mauvaise" - Adelaide said very happy while holding the boxes full of hats, "I hope to see you soon"

"Equally dear" - Mauvaise said goodbye to her best friend as they both went to where their cats.

Adelaide took the three kittens while she carrying the boxes while walking Duchess and O'Malley as they went to the carriage.

When they were gone Mauvaise addressed to Porshia. As they walked, Porshia not stop thinking about what had happened and said to herself;

"I promise Duchess that you and your family will last them little the happiness" - Porshia said while returned her evil smile-"Starting with your kids and with that... Marie"
