Backstage, four cats were talking. "Why was Tansy so weird last episode?" Shimmerpearl thought aloud. Just then, Ashfur, Tansy's boyfriend, came bursting in. "Hey guys! Sorry about Tansy." He meowed. "Do you know what happened?" Mintshade asked hopefully. "Yeah. Starkit was annoying her everywhere, saying that I belong with Squirrelflight. Tansy eventually got extremely mad at Starkit, and lock her up in Happy Livez Asylum For the Annoying Insane. I went to Mothwing's Medics and got her some chill pills. A side effect was that the user first acts totally not like themselves." Ashfur explained. "Thanks." Maplemoon meowed to him as he left the stage.
"Hello cats of the world! Welcome to The Shipping Show! Let's welcome our favorite host, Mintshade!" Instagram proudly meowed out to the crowd. "Thank you, Instagram. Today our contestants will be playing for a 3-night stay at the Waldorf Catstoria in Mew York, along with two Meowing King tickets!" Mintshade meowed. "Let's give a hand to Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw, and Berrynose and Honeyfern!" Mintshade meowed. The four cats padded up to their seats on the stage. "Let's start. What's your favorite food to eat?" Mintshade asked. "Flaming Tails Hibachi! Their sesame mouse is divine!" Squirrelflight answered. "I absolutely love Ice Cloud. Honeyfern and I always get the couples dish; Honeyfern starling, with some gummy snakes. Take that snake!" Berrynose answered. "Well, I'll give Berrynose a point, since his answer was romantic. Squirrelflight also gets a point though." Mintshade meowed. Shimmerpearl quickly made a tally mark for both couples. "Next question, would you die for your mate?" Shimmerpearl asked, ripping the notecard out of Mintshade's paw. "Yes! Haven't I?" Honeyfern meowed, arching her eyebrows. "Honey, don't bring up your death! Poppyfrost is already mad that I'm on this show with you!" Berrynose confessed. "Well, I would die for my mate, as I almost did once." Brambleclaw said matter-of-factly. "Again, points for both of you! Next question: So, if you could kill someone for your mate, who would it be?" Mintshade asked, her mint green eyes glowing with craziness. "I'd kill the snake that bit my Honey-love!" Berrynose wailed. "If it weren't for that fox-hearted snake, I would've seen my precious kits grow up! I could've seen Honey-baby serve her Clan with me! I would have protected in the Great Battle if she had stayed with me longer. Instead, I took her sister as my mate. Dumping a girl for her sister is LOW! What have I done!" Berrynose wailed on. Shimmerpearl came on the stage to give berrynose some ice cream (flavored Honey Berry Bonanza. It was a new flavor, just made in the crowd by Icecloud.) and some tissues. Just then, a very angry she-cat marched up on stage. "YOU LITTLE PIECE OF FOX-DUNG!" The she-cat started, pointing at Berrynose. Poppyfrost happened to just find out that her boyfriend was with his ex, her sister. "I HAVE TOLD YOU-I AM YOUR ONLY MATE NOW! IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT SNAKE, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE MET ME!" Poppyfrost yowled, her eyes ablaze. "You WANTED me to die?" Honeyfern drew her lips back into a snarl. "I didn't want you to, but Berry-boy was available, so I took the chance!" Poppyfrost meowed quietly, slowly backing away from a deranged sister. "YOU WILL DIE HOW I DIED SISTER! DEATH BY SNAKE!" Honeyfern screeched. She grabbed Swiftpaw's paw, and asked him for snake. "I have one in my bag." Swiftpaw replied, getting out a very big python. "POPPYFROST WILL DIE BY SNAKE!" Honeyfern yowled, snatching the snake from Swiftpaw, and hitting Poppyfrost with it. "Two sisters fighting over me? That's a first. I like it!" Berrynose meowed to the camera, fluffing up his cream-colored fur. Tansy turned off her camera. Instagram stopped posting pictures of the fight (#sisterlysmackdown was trending on Twitter and Instapaw). Shimmerpearl called Firestar's Police Force of Morality to come. Meanwhile, Mintshade was enjoying the fight, watching with a bowl of popcorn in her lap.
