"Akko," Amanda called as she peaked her head in the room. Akko looked up, raising an eyebrow as Amanda snorted and tried to contain her laughter. "C'mere, you gotta see this…bring your camera…"

Before Akko could even question her, Amanda was out the door. Akko, ever curious, brought along her camera and made her way to Amanda's room. "What did you do?" she asked as she pushed open the door.

"Mrow!" Pumpkin yelled, trotting over to Akko. Only…it didn't exactly look like Pumpkin. The kitten instead looked like a shark, only her head and paws sticking out. From her bed, Amanda was trying very hard to contain her laughter, but when Pumpkin looked back at her and yelled before clawing up Akko's leg, she lost it.

"Ohh, you poor kitten!" Akko cooed, settling the kitten – er, shark – on her hip. "What did mean ol' Amanda do to you?"

"She's the one that crawled into it!" Amanda protested. "I just helped her fix it on!"

Akko couldn't help but laugh, and she handed Amanda the camera so that she could take a photo. By the time the two were done fussing over Pumpkin, the kitten was used to the costume and gave protest when they tried to take it off of her.

"Amanda, come quick!" Akko shouted, throwing open the door.

"What? What is it!" Amanda demanded as she hopped up from her bed, readjusting the strap to her overalls. Akko hurried her along, pushing Amanda to the bathroom as she struggled to contain her laughter.

There, sitting in the water-filled sink, sat a mermaid Pumpkin. Her sparkly pink tail and coconut bra were loose fitting, obviously meant for a cat much older than their kitten, but the effect was still there. Amanda burst out laughing, more surprised that Pumpkin wasn't crying out for help. Instead, the kitten was content to just sit in the water.

"H-How?!" Amanda questioned. She lifted the kitten up, and she clawed her way onto Amanda's shoulder as well as she could given her…hind leg predicament.

"She loves it!" Akko said. "Don't know why, but she does."

Over the course of the week, the two went back and forth dressing up Pumpkin in more and more insane outfits. The ones she ended up liking the most were the dinosaur, the pumpkin, and her original shark.

The ones she disliked the most were the taco, Snow White, and cow. Pumpkin also got very good at taking these costumes off herself, and slipping the shark on easily. Of course, during the day, Amanda and Akko kept her in her green ribbon and witch hat, but the evenings were met with all sorts of fun.

That is, until they had to study. Pumpkin sat at Akko's feet staring up at her and pawing gently at her ankles. "Not now, baby girl," Akko said, reaching down and scratching the top of her head.

"Gah, this is so booooring!" Amanda groaned, slipping in her chair. As she slipped, Pumpkin gave out a ring and ran over, pawing at Amanda's hand. "Don't tempt me, Pumpkin…"

What was a kitten to do?! Both of her moms were ignoring her! Then there was a knock on the door, and Pumpkin dove under Akko's bed. "It's open!" Akko said, turning in her seat.

In popped Diana, who seemed slightly flustered. Akko and Amanda exchanged looks, unsure of what was quite wrong with the normally cool-as-a-cucumber blonde. "I assume Pumpkin is here with you two?" she asked.

The kitten peaked her head out at hearing her name, then bound over to rub her scent on Diana's legs. Diana grinned down at her and took a seat on Akko's bed. "What do you need with Pumpkin?" Akko asked suspiciously.

"Well, I figured if you two were the ones raising her, she might want a little bit of…pampering," Diana explained. From the bag she brought with her, Diana produced a small brush. She called over Pumpkin and the delighted kitten let her groom her, purring away happily. Diana also pulled out small nail caps, blue ones to be precise, and placed one over each of Pumpkin's front nails. With that, Diana placed a small tiara on Pumpkin's head, and the look was complete.

The kitten was clean, neat, poised, and so Diana-like that neither Akko nor Amanda knew what to make of it. They glanced at Diana's expectant face, then back to their kitten not knowing what to say.

"You're her aunt!" Amanda announced suddenly.

"I-I, what?!" Diana didn't quite know what exactly Amanda meant by that, nor did she understand the implications.

"If Akko and I are her moms, so far you and Conse are her aunts!" Amanda insisted, scooping Pumpkin up and roughly petting her. No way could a kitten in her care stay that manicured.

"It makes perfect sense!" Akko shouted, joining Amanda with the rough play.

"How?!" Diana didn't understand! She was just being nice to the kitten for the exact reason that was right in front of her! Those two were lucky to still have the cat!

"Just accept it; you like Pumpkin!" Akko lifted the kitten up and held her in front of Diana, who leaned back to give herself space. Pumpkin let out a cry and stretched out her paws towards Diana until she took her. "See? She even likes you!"

This wasn't what Diana signed up for…but looking at the two in front of her and their excited faces…how could she say no?

…The kitten was cute, she guessed. She could be an aunt. Watching Akko and Amanda care for Pumpkin, and how gentle the two adventurous and wild girls could be…Diana knew that spending more time with them – with Pumpkin – wouldn't be too bad.

"Be careful with her tiara!" Diana fussed, giggling as she squeezed between the two to pepper Pumpkin's face with kisses. The three ended up taking turns kissing Pumpkin or tickling her, homework be damned.
