“Cm-on girls, we only have ten minuets till show time!” Fixing his makeup, and fluffing his feather boa and slipping into his black high heal shoes he went and inspected all the girls costumes. “Okay girls your looking absolutely fabulous!” All the girls including Ricky were wearing a well fitted matching bathing suit. Fish net stockings black high heal shoes and a top hat. All items you would think would clash but somehow it all worked together.

Ricky put himself in the center of the girls and they all walked into the lounge and onto the stage. They could hear the low muffled conversations of the crew waiting to see what will be coming out from behind the curtain.

The curtain began to move and the crew became quiet and music began to play. What they saw was Ricky in the middle wearing a woman’s bathing suit with eight girls four on ether side of him dancing the KanKan in their high heals, and fish net stockings. Their timing was absolutely perfect and they seemed to be moving all as one, which was amazing because they had only been practicing for little over a week.

One other woman came out from the curtain wearing a men’s suit caring a microphone and began to sing Frank Sinatra’s New York, New York.

The dancing behind her changed and card board cut outs of New York appeared in the background.

OOC: If anyone want’s to come into the lounge and watch and make Cat calls and comment please do. The show is far from over.

Out of curiosity, Stovik decided to stop by and see the Comm Officer’s advertised show. He had seen many performances and productions on various ships over the years. Humans seemed to enjoy them very much. This one appeared to be different from the usually classical themed ones he had attended in the past. His eyebrows raised as he noted English’s attire and placement on the stage. His inscrutable expression did not change though as he quietly rested off to the side near the wall and watched.

OOC: It wold seem that I am having trubble thinking about where to take this thread. If anyone has any suggestions I am open. I’m having fun with this I don’t want to loose the thread.

Once again the music changed and one by one the girls came out from behin a cut out of an american air craft carrier from the 20th century wearing white salor uniforms with bell bottom pants and the standard collar bib. The cut out buildings were replaced with cut outs of waves surounding the ship. Rick then came out in the same salor uniform but this time he made his way to the microphone picked it up, and joined the others.

“Ladies and gentlemen this is for you all who enjoy the timeless classics from the 20th century.” Ricky then began to sing the song In The Navy - By The Village People

[Verse 1]
Where can you find pleasure
Search the world for treasure
Learn science technology
Where can you begin to make your dreams all come true
On the land or on the sea
Where can you learn to fly
Play in sports and skin dive
Study oceanography
Sign up for the big band
Or sit in the grandstand
When your team and others meet

[Chorus]
In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on now, people, make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can’t you see we need a hand
In the navy
Come on, protect the mother land
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the navy
Come on people, and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy)

They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit

[Verse 2]
If you like adventure
Don’t you wait to enter
The recruiting office fast
Don’t you hesitate
There is no need to wait
They’re signing up new seamen fast
Maybe you are too young
To join up today
Bout don’t you worry ‘bout a thing
For I’m sure there will be
Always a good navy
Protecting the land and sea

In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on be bold and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can’t you see we need a hand
In the navy
Come on, protect the motherland
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the navy
Come on be bold and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy)

They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit

Who me?

They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit

But, but, but, I’m afraid of water
Hey, hey look
Man, I get seasick even watchin’ it on the TV!

They want you, they want you in the navy

Oh my goodness
What am I gonna do in a submarine?

They want you, they want you in the navy

In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on be bold and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can’t you see we need a hand
In the navy
Come protect the motherland
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the navy
Come on be bold and make a stand

Stovik’s brow went up as he listened to the lyrics but he thought it was very typical of the Earth history that he had studied. The music was upbeat tempo wise and easily memorized. His eyes scanned the crew that was watching the performance to see how it affected morale which was the point of these entertainments. Even on Vulcan ships there was time set aside for Kal-toh games, tri-dimensional chess, poetry and musical performances. He preferred the Kal-toh and musical performances himself so he did find it interesting to listen to other races music.

Chris was awe struck. He hadn’t seen anything like this before. But he kept in the middle of the seating floor. So the crew could see him and know it was ok to be here.

Ricky was truly beginning to visibly sweat but he didn’t care. He loved preforming in front of the crew. The music changed again. Ricky looked out into the crowd and found Commander Taggart in the crowd. He then began to sing ‘Can’t take my eyes off you’ from Boys town gang from the 1980’s. During the song he didn’t take his off the Commander. He walked around the stage and danced eurodicly for the man.

You’re just too good to be true
I can’t take my eyes off you
You’d be like heaven to touch
Oh, I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I’m alive
You’re just too good to be true
I can’t take my eyes off you

Chris smiled and laughed a bit at this. Ricky was just being a good showman although he was a bit nervous.

Pardon the way that I stare
There’s nothing else to compare
The thought of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Whoa, you didn’t let me know that is real
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off you

I love you baby
And if it’s quite all right
I need you baby
To warm my lonely nights
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say

Oh pretty baby
Don’t bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I’ve found you stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you

You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off you
You’d be like heaven to touch
Oh, I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I’m alive
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off you

I love you baby
And if it’s quite all right
I need you baby
To warm my lonely nights
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say

Oh pretty baby
Don’t bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I’ve found you stay
Oh pretty baby
Trust in me when I say

Chris was now starting to feel uneasy. Not because he dislikes gays but because he started to remember all those talks with him, especially in his quarters. He knew then tat this was really not Ricky just merely performing but acting out how he feels for Chris.

Chris got up and being mindful of the microphone said in a low voice and his face was stern. “I’m not gay Ducky.” And left the room with haste and did not look back.

Ricky was a little taken back when Chris made his announcement. He then turned his back and turned to the other dancers and told them what the next song will be.
“Love Takes Time” (1990) Mariah Carey

He then took the mike again and began to sing the last set of the night. While the girls behind him sang background and danced.

Stovik noted his XO’s interchange with the singer and his precipitous exit. He chose not to interfere but thought it might have to do with the Comms officer addressing the song toward him. His expression remained stoic though and he gave no outward sign of noticing other then to scan the rest of the crew briefly to see if others had noted and or were bothered by it. It was entirely logical that he acted as if nothing had happened the rest of the crew would follow suit. It was a private matter between the XO and the Comms officer and not anyone else’s business. He would watch though to be sure that the two men were capable of working with each other.
