"Hey there." came the message on Krystal's screen. It was Katt, of course.
"Hello." was the reply.
Katt: How's life?
Krystal: Not that great.
Katt: Oh? What's the matter, darling?
Krystal: The usual. The only person nice to me anymore is Panther, but he's a little creepy.
Katt: I'm not nice?
Krystal: No, not that. I mean of the people I see everyday. Panther shows up regularly at the cafe I work at and just sits there. He talks sometimes, but I think he is too afraid to say anything.
Katt: Oh, I bet he likes you.
Krystal: Yeah, he does. But it's hard to tell how sincere he is. He is a huge flirt.
Katt: I've been lonely lately. I know that you've had it rough recently too, so why not come down for a bit of girl time?
Krystal: Girl time?
Katt: Yeah, you know, hang out, talk about things that girls do, that thing.
Krystal: I don't know, I have work to worry about...
Katt: It will only be a few hours. Just come later, I'll be waiting.
Krystal: Oh, fine. But I'm not staying long. I'm busy.
"Excellent, dear." mumbled Katt with a smile. She now had the entire team coming over at roughly the same time. If one arrived earlier than the others, then she could occupy them until the rest showed up. It was going to be one hectic show to watch...

Thirty minutes later, Katt already had a visiter pounding on her door. The viciousness of the pounds led her to guess this could be none other than Falco. She opened the door and, with a seductive smile, invited him in.
"So, you came to say something to me?" asked Katt teasingly. Falco somehow formed a frown with his beak.
"Well, I don't like you. That simple." said Falco in an almost choked up sort of way.
"Then why did you come all the way out here? Come on, you know I'm worth it."
Falco didn't answer. He took the torture of Katt felling his arms up and generally just trying to get him to give in. Falco was stubborn, however. The scowl never left his face, but rarely did a word come from his mouth.
"So, wanna sit down?" asked Katt, motioning to a loveseat across the room. "You can sit down there and tell me all about how you hate me." Falco scoffed. He walked over and took a seat, Katt hot on his tail. "See, I knew you cared enough to sit with me."
"I just got tired of standing." muttered Falco. "Now are you done playing your games?"
"Not until you stop playing them with me." replied Katt softly. She persisted in rubbing Falco all over the place, switching between his arms, neck, and leg. Falco sighed hopelessly.
Minutes later, a second person showed up at the door. Katt left Falco to answer it, seeing Fox.
"Hey, Katt. Sorry I came so early, but I wanted to get this out of the way. Are you sure you have what it takes to- Falco?! What's he doing here?!"
Katt faked an awkward groan as Falco stood up and intimidatingly waved his arms. "Is there a problem with me being here?" said the bird confidently. Fox glared.
"Break it up, you two. You can both be here, can't you?" asked Katt sweetly. Fox and Falco were too busy having an intense staring match to pay attention.
