Missy, Jason´s girlfriend comes over to his house and brings her cat Amelia with her.
Jason (opens the door): Hi honey.
Missy: Hi.
They kiss.
Missy has Amelia´s carrier in her hand as she enters the house.
Jason takes the carrier from her hand and sets in on the floor.
He opens the door so Amelia can come out.
Amelia rushes out of the carrier.
Amelia (complaining): Baaah… it´s so freaking hot inside that thing! Were you trying to kill me or something?
Missy: Now honey, I´m going out with Jason. You be good okay?
Amelia (realizes where she is): ah balls! What the …? Why am I here again?
Missy ignores Amelia´s “meows” and leaves with Jason.
Amelia (cont.): hello? Where are you two going? Why do I have to stay here? Hey! Come back here!
But it’s pointless. Jason and Missy have already left.
Amelia (bitching): Balls!
Amelia starts to look around, trying to find Francis.
She´s about to enter the living room, from which she hears a loud drilling sound, when her senses are enthralled by something incredibly sweet.
The female cat follows the enticing odor to the kitchen, where apparently someone left an unfinished glass of cold beer.
Amelia looks to the sides defiantly and smiles.
Amelia: don´t mind if I do.
She walks to the kitchen stool and jumps on it. She then makes her way to the table where the cold beverage awaits her.
As Amelia nears the drink her nostrils immediately find heaven.
She goes over to the glass and starts to drink feverously.
Moments later…
Amelia burps, loudly.
Amelia (highly intoxicated): Gesundheit!
She drops to the floor laughing hysterically.
Amelia (laughing her butt off): Ha! Ha! Ha!
She then starts to hear that same loud drilling sound again.
Amelia leaves the kitchen towards the living room.
Amelia: yikes! Good god pussycat, what did you swallow?
Pen: a bulldozer!
Amelia (unaffected): oh, it´s you.
Pen: were you expecting someone else?
Amelia: Not really.
Francis snores, loudly.
Amelia flinches from the sound.
Amelia: Good God!
Pen: Ha! Ha!
Amelia: why are you laughing?
Pen: I always laugh at Francis. It´s like a reflex.
Amelia: you´re evil.
Pen: I´ll take that as a compliment.
Francis snores even louder and Amelia recoils from the sound.
Amelia: is he always this loud?
Pen: sometimes.
Amelia (raises an eyebrow and looks at the Pen sideways): sometimes? So you have this weird fetish of watching Francis sleep?
Pen: Not really. But I do love to make fun of him and this is just an opportunity for me to gather material I can use latter to mock him relentlessly.
Amelia: you´re demonic, did you know that?
Pen: You shower me with flattery my dear.
Amelia: truth is, you´re both crazy.
Pen: Oh come on Amelia, don´t be jealous.
Amelia: jealous? Me? Why would I be jealous?
Pen: Francis is crazy about you.
Amelia (smiling): really?
Pen: yes, emphasis on the crazy.
Amelia (not getting it): what?
Pen (rolls “its” eyes): Nothing… You two really do suit each other.
Amelia: You really think so?
Pen: Oh I know so. Bye!
Amelia (startled): oh… bye, I guess…
Francis burps loudly and wakes up.
Amelia: Jesus pussycat!
Cat (clueless): what? Oh hi honey…
Amelia nears Francis and snuggles right next to him.
Cat: Okay…
Francis puts his arm around Amelia and they lay together.
Pen (from a distance): two idiots in love… Ha! Ha! Ha! I just love these two…
Suddenly, the Pen realizes what “it” just said and looks to the sides to make sure no one heard “It”.
Pen (cont.): crap! I have to be careful talking like this.
Before running off, the Pen looks at the two cats sleeping together and smiles.
The end!
