Squeaky and Streaky (Nikki, Puff, Ramone) “Alright everyone! This meeting of the Supercat fanclub is officially called to order!” A small farmhouse outside of metropolis rang out with the chatter of excitable kittens. One orange-furred kitten in particular led the crew, standing proudly in the blue cape he tossed back with his paw to make it look like it was flowing. From his high perch on the ottoman in front of the others, he spoke with absolute authority. “A-Alright everyone, s-settle down, okay?” The other kittens settled down for a moment, respecting their leader’s order. Though, that only lasted for a very short moment. A white, fluffy kitten spoke up before long, crossing his arms and pouting his lip. “I still don’t think it’s fair that Squeaky gets to be leader today.” He shook his head and kicked his feet in frustration. The rest of the fanclub wasn’t keen on letting him pout for long though. One of the other kittens batted him on the head. “Ah, be quiet, Puff! You were leader yesterday! It’s Squeaky’s turn fair and square!” Puff took a swing right back at Ramone, not ready to stop pouting just yet. “It’s still not fair! It’s show and tell day, and I brought the coolest Supercat action figure!” He whined, reaching down and showing off an orange ragdoll with a blue scrap of cape. “I should get to go first!” Ramone went to swat him again, but he stopped just short when the club’s last member, a little Siamese kitten with a voice barely above a whisper, interjected herself between them. “Knock it off, you two!” Nikki ended up shoving the both of them to the floor trying to stop the fight before it started. That would be the final straw before the claws came out. It was lucky for the club that they had a good leader for the day that stopped things before those claws got used. “Hey! Stop it, you guys!” Squeaky shouted, lifting himself high as he could to draw everyone’s attention. “I know we’re all excited, but I’ve got a super cool thing for show and tell day! I promise.” He waved his paws to the other kittens, desperate to get their attention. Once they had stopped tackling each other and looked at him again, he was able to smile down proudly at them again. “I wouldn’t get up here if it wasn’t! I promise.” Puff glared up at Squeaky and shoved the others of off him. “Hmmph, it better be.” He grumbled and grabbed his action figure again before he stuck his tongue out at Ramone Ramone shot Puff the same expression. But Puff didn’t notice. Squeaky had his attention first. “I promise, Puff! Your toy’s super cool, but my show and tell is a present from Supercat himself!” The orange kitten smiled giddily and nodded. Sure enough, that got the rest of the club’s attention. “Wow! Really?” They all shouted in unison, absolutely certain Squeaky as telling the truth. “Y’huh! Let me explain…” --- So, I was walking in the city earlier this morning. I wanted to get something super cool to share today for show and tell, so I figured I would go and check out the Dumpster of Streakitude for something cool, y’know. When I got there it was just like it usually is early in the morning. Everything was super quiet and there was barely even any trash around. There were just a few takeout cartons since it was after trash day. But today, it was different! See, normally when I go early in the mornings, noone’s there. Maybe there’s an alley cat or someone around, but never anyone that bothers me. This time though, when I got there, I saw Supercat himself climbing out of the dumpster! “Ugh… some morning to be in the mood, huh?” Supercat was complaining about something. He looked super grumpy, way worse than normal grumpy or just tired. He didn’t even notice me when he climbed out. “Not even anchovies to make me feel better.” He was sighing and looking around the alley. I was pretty sure he was looking for some escaped criminals or something. “Ace is busy, Krypto’s off with Superman, and I can’t even find those mangy junkyard dogs… Ugh! What a pain!” Now, you know I’m always up for helping a superhero in need, so I got his attention right away. “Heya, Uncle Streaky! Can I help?!” I was hopping up and down to get his attention. But he barely even looked at me. “Oh? Uh, hey, kid.” He smiled, but it was like, a really tired smile. “Uh, thanks a bunch, but I don’t think it’s something someone your age can help with, y’know.” He tried to act cool like he always is. He even tried to really smile at me. “Hey, what’re you doing around here this early anyway? You lookin’ for me?” “Oh! I was jus’ looking for somethin’ for show and tell at the clubhouse today.” I told him why I was there of course, but I didn’t think I was actually gonna get any help. Supercat’s got more important stuff to do than help us look for toys and stuff, right? So, I wasn’t even thinking about that when I asked if I could help. “Are you sure I can’t help, Uncle Streaky? I mean I’m not as cool a Bathound and Superdog, but I can do my best!” Supercat’s smile got weird after that. It wasn’t tired, y’know like it was a second before. He kinda looked more embarrassed. He reached up and scratched his ears all nervous and really shook his head. “Heh, you really don’t know what you’re saying, Squeaky.” He smirked and laughed a little, really smiling down at me, except he wasn’t really looking at me. “Uh, how’s about we just don’t talk about that anymore… You said it was show and tell day at the club? I bet the two of us could find something super quick.” “Uh, yeah, it is…” I was sure he still needed help, or maybe that he just wanted to get rid of me so he could go after some bad guys. But him saying that got me to start looking around. That was when I noticed something I’d never seen before. “Oh! Hey, Uncle Streaky, your thingy’s poking out!” --- “Whoa!” The whole club was shouting in unison again. But this time Puff’s voice rose loudest above the uproar. “You mean you saw Supercat’s thingy!” He squeezed his little ragdoll tight. It was obvious he was jealous, the whole club was. But his little legs were kicking with more than jealousy this time. “No way!” Squeaky just nodded, his giddy smile was getting bigger by the moment. “Y’huh! I totally did! And not just that!” He was wiggling with just as much excitement as his audience was. “Let me finish. It gets way cooler!” --- “The bull gets like that right before the cow and him go into the barn together!” I was so surprised when I saw it. I hadn’t even really thought about it before, y’know. Supercat having a thingy like the bull’s was a big shock. It was only just poking out, but I was sure it was super cool even if I could only see a tiny bit of it. “Wow! I bet yours is even bigger than his!” Supercat was super humble though. He’s such a hero. “I-it’s not that big!” He covered himself up real fast at first. He doesn’t like to show off or brag or anything. “How do you know so much about that stuff anyway, Squeaky? This ain’t kitten stuff, you know…” He kinda sounded upset, but I didn’t really get why. “Well, the cow told us that’s the thing boys use to make babies, right? She helps the bull with it all the time!” I just smiled up at him to make sure he knew that I was learning right. He looked super surprised by how smart I was. “You use it to make babies too, right?” “Uh! Well, I don’t know about babies, but I guess I get help with it, yeah.” He was super cool the way he smiled and rolled his eyes. I guess I convinced him he shouldn’t be all humble. “You know, I bet you wouldn’t guess it, but usually Superdog and Bathound are the ones who help me out with it.” He laughed all proud, and he smiled down at me like the coolest cat ever. “Way cooler than just some cow, huh?” I was so shocked, I can tell ya’. My uncle Streaky wasn’t just the coolest Supercat ever, he had been the bull for the second coolest superheros ever! And I could see why too. He lifted his paw up all proud while he was bragging and stopped covering himself. It was super big! I bet it was big enough to make Bathound and Superdog have so many kittens. Once I realized that, I knew what I had to do. “Oh! Is that what you needed help with, Uncle Streaky?” I was super excited. “I bet I can help with that!” Supercat wasn’t super sure, I could tell. He got all shocked and embarrassed again for a second. “Heh, hey, kid, I appreciate the uh, ambition, but you know, this really ain’t kitten stuff.” I could tell he was really getting ready though. I was watching his thingy. It was getting bigger and bigger just like the bull’s does when he starts gettin’ real excited. “I mean, you know this is usually superhero stuff. I really don’t know if you’re up to it.” “The cow says any old heffer will do for her bull.” I told him what the cow told us when we asked her about her baby, remember? I really wanted to help him, y’know. “She even said some bulls even just use machines and stuff! I don’t know if you’ve got any machines for superheros, but I bet I could be a pretty good heffer!” I was bouncin’ again then, I guess. I started gettin’ closer and closer to Supercat without even really thinkin’ about it. And then, I don’t really know what happened. Supercat just didn’t stop me, I guess? Next thing I remember, I was right up next to his thingy and his paw was pushin’ on my head. It was so nuts I don’t even know how to describe it! He smelled so super! It was like the bull, and the farm, and anchovies, and that bit of Supercat fur we have in the jar all mixed together into one big, super bomb of smells. And he was all pokey too! He was huge like the bull but not all buff and squishy. He was covered in big pokey spikes that were all scratchy and tickly against my fur! It was amazing! He even tasted super! I remember he told me to try licking it up for some reason and it was super fishy and squishy and salty and it was just great, you guys! He said my tongue scratching him felt so good and I bet it made him taste better ‘cause his thingy was sweating this weird goopy stuff that tasted even saltier. I remember him calling me names and stuff too. “Oh crud, you’re doing great, kid… Good boy, yeah…” He was moaning and groaning and I think he was thinking of Bathound and Superdog. “Just like that, Ace… ngh... K-dog…” He kept talking about them, so I bet I was doin’ a really good job. He probably thought I was doing as good as they were! --- “Ha… ha…” Squeaky paused for just a second to catch his breath. His body was shaking, most of all his tail. He had wound up on all fours, his tail raised up high and his eyes closed while he was lost in the memory of the morning. He wanted to keep going, but excited as he was he couldn’t keep still, much less think straight. Most of his audience was in a similar state. Ramone and Nikki were shaking and wagging their tails high just like he was. They were lingering on his every word, and had crawled closer during his speech, close enough they were practically climbing the ottoman. Puff was just as excited, his legs still kicking and his eyes wide staring at Squeaky. Unlike the others though, he was still focused on the purpose of the story. “H-hey wait! What does this have to do with show and tell?” He was genuinely curious as he asked, squeezing his cool toy and holding onto it with just the slightest hint of jealousy. Squeaky smiled nervously and opened his eyes when he heard the question. “O-oh yeah! I was getting to that part!” --- So, like I said I didn’t really know what was happening, right? It was all these super smells and super feelings on my tongue and on my fur. I was just tryin’ to do my best and be as good as Bathound and Superdog, you now, so I wasn’t really thinkin’ about what they did. But Supercat was! He knew exactly what to do. After I was licking him for awhile, he told me to stop. He was so cool the way he said it. “That’s enough, Squeaky…” He was purring all deep voiced and stuff and he was petting me all nice. “Y’know, I think you’re right. Maybe you can handle it.” I remember he was kinda laughing while he said it, or maybe he was just really really purring. “You said you know how it’s done, right? The cow tell you what the bull does with his, uh, thingy?” I remembered right away what the cow said. “Yeah, Uncle Streaky!” I was so excited I was shakin’. It was actually kinda hard to do it I was so excited. But, I knew Supercat was counting on me! So, I put my tongue back in my mouth and held my breath. Then, like a good heffer, I turned around and showed him my tail! It was just like the cow told us about. It’s still kinda blurry, I guess because it was my first time, but I remember he climbed right on top of me and I felt his thingy pushin’ hard and heavy under my tail. I remember he was so warm and heavy and super cuddly! I could feel his heart beating and his stomach growing while he breathed all heavy. And then, I felt him inside me! It was so amazing, you guys. I don’t even know what to say. Like, it hurt kinda. In fact, it was super painful! It was super pokey and stretchy, and I could totally feel like my butt and my stomach were on fire. But it was like the cow said. It was so great getting that close to Supercat! It was like, the closest I’ve ever been before. It hurt and was stretchy, and it even felt scratchy sometimes when he pushed back and forth, but it was so good that my whole body was totally purring like crazy. And it just kept going too. Supercat kept rockin’ back and forth and back and forth over and over again, and every time it was like I was so full I’d pop and then so empty I was sick, y’know? And his thingy was so hot too, like I was bein’ filled up with a big, warm, scratchy blanket on my insides! I didn’t want it to stop! But then, I was like, I totally did want it to be over too. “Oh yeah, that’s it! I think I’m almost there…” Supercat was meowing on top of me the whole time, but I didn’t really pay attention until right then. I remembered what happened when it was finished, and I got so excited. I got my claws out and I held onto the ground hard as I could, and I pushed my tail up high as I could like a really good heffer, and then… “Oh yeah! Here it comes, boys!” --- Squeaky stopped again, suddenly overcome as he remembered the feeling. His face squeezed tight and he showed his friends exactly how he looked back then. He stretched his chest real low and raised his tail high as it would go. “Oh wow you guys! It was so super! I got so filled I could feel it coming out of me! That stuff the cow told us about, that weird stuff the farmer puts in those jars, y’know?” He opened his eyes to see the wide-eyed fan club hanging on his every word. “It was so slimy and warm and it was just… wow, y’know?” The orange kitten shook for a second more. Then he got control of himself, standing back up with a proud, if slightly more lost smile on his face. He had more to say, but Nikki said it for him before he could. “Does that mean what I think it means?” Squeaky nodded, standing up full and proud. With the biggest smile he could muster, and with his little cape fluttering, he stuck out his belly. “Yup! In just nine months! We’re gonna have a whole other Supercat!” He shouted proudly patting his stomach. “So, what do you guys think? Best show and tell ever, right?!” A chorus of more wows broke through the air immediately, followed by the excited chatter of kittens absolutely overwhelming the whole farm. Soon, every paw was on Squeaky, feeing his belly with wonder and excitement, eager to be the first to feel the new kitten. That wouldn’t last though. “Ah, man! I’m so jealous!” Puff spoke up again first, pouting. “No fair!” He was feeling Squeaky’s belly most eagerly of all of them. But, this time he wasn’t the only jealous one. Ramone chimed in too. “Yeah! I want a superkitten!” Even Nikki did nothing to stop the fighting this time, joining right in. “Me too! Me too!” Squeaky smiled admittedly reveling in the attention. Mostly though, he just joined the other kittens in rubbing his belly, excited for the new kitten. Excited as the club was of course, they were completely unprepared when a special guest flew in, carrying a soggy bag of anchovy pizza. “Uh, hey kids! Squeaky told me it was show and tell day.” Streaky all but crashed into the clubhouse, skidding across a poorly placed carper and into a nearby wall with a loud bang. He wasn’t really quite stable on his feet just yet. After the morning he had, he was pretty shaky for a bundle of reasons. That left him completely unprepared for the tidal wave of kittens that slammed into him before he could get his bearings. “Supercat!” “I want a superkitten too!” “Please put some kittens in me Mr. Streaky!” “No! Me first!” The chatter of excitable kittens rang out all through metropolis from the small farmhouse as the fanclub wildly greeted their hero with all the enthusiasm of his favorite nephew.
