I've never actually tried writing the "random oneshot" sort of story before, but I'd seen a lot of it in other fandoms I'm part of and thought I'd give it a go. R&R!

It was a rainy day and Mr. Cat was curled up on his bed reading a book, trying to relax after a particularly stressful day. There was a knock at the door of his bedroom. "Mr. Cat! May I come in?" said a cheerful, sing-songy voice. He recognized the voice immediately, and sighed. He usually enjoyed Kaeloo's company, though he was reluctant to admit it, but today he didn't really want to talk to anyone. On the other hand, if he said no, she would probably think that he wanted to be alone because he was "sad" and she would overreact. "Ugh, fine." The door opened to reveal Kaeloo standing outside, holding something in her hands. "What do you want?" he asked, in a harsh tone of voice which he hoped would make her realize how much he wanted to be alone. She didn't seem to be deterred by it, and she entered the room, closing the door behind her. "You seemed really stressed out today, so I thought I'd give you something," she explained. She held out the object she had in her hands earlier. It was a ball made of foam. "It's a stress ball. You can squeeze it like this to reduce stress." She demonstrated by squeezing it. "Here," she gave it to him. "You try." Mr. Cat grabbed the ball and squeezed it as though he was angry at the ball itself and not the people around him. "She was right," he thought to himself. "This does help with stress." Mr. Cat continued to squeeze the ball tighter and tighter until... POP! Kaeloo and Mr. Cat, both covered in foam, stared at one another for a few minutes. Once the shock wore off, Kaeloo finally spoke. "Too stressed, huh?"
