Hey guys!

So I know, I've basically been dead for the past months, but now that work is over, I can write!

Here goes nothing!

Since the last season ended of the Shipping Show, the cast of cats were hard at work.

"Shimmerpearl, you're supposed to hang up the whiteboard to the right of Mintshade's chair"

"Storm, don't get salty when cats ask about your parents!"

"And for the last time, NO STUPID SHIPS MAPLEMOON!"

Instagram was exhausted. Even with the season break, she barely got any relaxation. Now that the show's back up on Feline TV, the word relax meant something that she would never have.

Shimmerpearl, on the other hand, had a wonderful break, going to 5th Avenue in Mew York with Daisy and Princess. She also began dating online. She was somewhat lonely.

The break did nothing to Storm or Maplemoon. Nothing. Nada.

But now, the show is starting, so vacation mode is off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~to the show~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~after a bunch of months~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hello fellow she-cats and toms! Welcome to the Shipping Show! We kindly thank you for your amazing support for the past months, where our last season ended abruptly. The reason for this is because of copious amounts of paperwork, a fine to Firestar's police station, an anti-dovewing riot, and no creativity. We hope that this season is better!" Instagram meowed to the crowd from her place on stage.

"Now, let's give a warm welcome to Mintshade, our host!" Instagram yowled. Cats began yowling and screeching in return.

"I hope that my baby gets a chance to shine up here!"

"I hope they stopped torturing the cats in the back with little kid music!"

"I hope that the stage doesn't burn down!"

There were many expectations to meet.

Mintshade then padded onto the stage, taking a seat in her comfy mint green chair.

"Hello fans! Today, we have Leafpool and Crowfeather vs. Ivypool and Breezepelt!" Mintshade meowed from her chair.

The four cats padded out on stage. Leafpool glanced nervously at the audience, in case she was to be mauled out by Nightcloud. Ivypool grimaced at Breezepelt, wondering who was stupid enough to try and make this ship. Breezepelt and Crowfeather looked at each over with mutual annoyance.

"So, I'm going to ask you a few questions. Best answers from a couple wins a point. Whoever gets the most points wins!" Mintshade smiled.

"Question one: what brand of shampoo do you use?" Mintshade asked, serious look on her face.

Leafpool was puzzled at the question, but answered it.

"Well, Crowfeather and I use different shampoos. I like to use Willowshine's Hairball Essence shampoo, scented in Garden Glow." Leafpool answered.

"I use Frostene by Hawkfrost." Crowfeather grumbled.

"Well, why should I answer the question? We're not even friends!" Ivypool snapped.

"Because if you don't, I'll hand you over to the llamas." Mintshade retorted. Where did she find llamas? No one knows.

"Well, I use Morken shampoo." Breezepelt grouched.

"Okay! Next question: have you ever been away from your mate?" Mintshade asked.

Crowfeather and Leafpool looked at each other, worry etched on their faces.

"By any chance, does this channel stream to Firestar's station?" Leafpool squeaked.

Mintshade realized what was going on.

"MAPLEMOON! HACK INTO THE SYSTEM AND MAKE SURE THAT FIRESTAR DOESN'T EVER SEE THIS!" She screeched.

Maplemoon gave Mintshade a salute from behind the curtain.

"Okay! Breezepelt, Ivypool, your answer?" Mintshade meowed.

With that, Ivypool jumped out from her seat and pulled out a black belt.

"I'll have you know that I know karate! Sandstorm also taught me judo!" Ivypool hissed.

"SOMEONE SAVE THE SHOW!" Mintshade screamed.

Ivypool was beating up Mintshade, using various Asian martial arts tactics, as Leafpool was desperately calling Squirrelflight to bail her out of punishment with their dad. Breezepelt was flirting with various she-cats in the crowd, and Crowfeather was trying to steal the prize. As the world's biggest playcat, Crowfeather had to keep a steady flow of riches to have a steady flow of she-cats. As Mintshade was clawing Ivypool, who just whipped out a katana from nowhere, YouTube came to the rescue.

"The winner today is Leafpool and Crowfeather! The two of you will earn free passes to a 5th Harmeowny concert! And will get bailed out from punishment!" YouTube announced nervously, red fur sticking together from sweat.

The victors only had a few minutes to celebrate though, since daddy Firestar just walked through the doorway, Starbucks in hand.

"LEAFPOOL!"
