After the damage caused to SCW’s mothership navigation system, Captain Cattitude was certain he and the spaceship crew could safely make it to Catmoon without being pursued.  He was so certain in fact, he held a celebration party for the crew.  Suzie made a big chocolate-blueberry cake to honor the day they escaped from certain doom.  “We should be near Catmoon by 0400 hours tomorrow,” said Captain Cattitude as he raised a glass of tinkle berry wine to honor the event. The crew laughed and cheered as the toast was made. ( No one from Earth ever heard of tinkle berry wine.  They shuddered to think what it was made from.)

“The SCW’s are crippled.  We damaged their navigation system,” said John to the crew.  “It will take them hours to make the repairs,” he added. The gathered crowd cheered upon hearing the news. 

Shadow and Phoebe were dancing to the music Captain Cattitude played over the intercom system. It was a strange hybrid of scatchtechno, clawhouse, and countrycat welded together.  The girls were not so sure they liked the sound but liked the beat nonetheless. Shadow liked the gospel-tinged song called ‘He Is’ by Copyright. She preferred they played that song instead but was happy she could dance to the mishmash that was Catmoonian music. She began to purr to the music as she grew happy they were safe, at least for now, she thought.   

At that moment, Captain Cattitude could be heard over the intercom system. “I suggest we all get a good night’s rest.  We have a lot of explaining to do to the military personnel once we land, and we must prepare for when the SCW’s make it to Catmoon.  I don’t think we are out of the woods yet,” said Captain Cattitude to the crew as he pulled the plug on the party after two hours. 

Suzie, Peter, Phoebe, and Shadow reluctantly went to their sleeping quarters and tried to sleep.
