Hello my fellow readers. I just wanted to give a quick warning. WARNING: If you like Dovewing, I strongly suggest skipping this chapter. Without getting into details, let's just say that she ends up at the wrong side of my claws.
Mintshade threw the book down. "WHYYYYYY!" She screeched. For fun, Mintshade decided to reread Omen of The Stars. Lionblaze would be glad that his legacy was kept in ink and paper. It did not go that way. AT ALL. After rereading the third book, Mintshade was ripping up the book, shredding the pages. "Okay. Today we want a good episode. No drama whatsoever." Tansy mused outside. "Where's Mintshade?" A voice meowed. Mintshade peered outside. It was one of her best friends, Instagram. She re-dyed her white fur yellow, orange, pink, purple, and blue. "Lemme check." A harsh tone meowed. Sure enough, it was Maplemoon, her bodyguard. Maplemoon padded up towards the silver door to Minthsade's room. "Girl, come out. The show's gonna start in a few minutes." Maplemoon meowed. Mintshade came out. "WHAT HAPPENED?" Shimmerpearl screeched. "Dovewing happened." She replied. "Well, we don't have time to fix you up fully. Just use some of Instagram's makeup." Shimmerpearl ordered.
After Mintshade got herself together, the show was up and running. "Welcome, cats from around the world! Give it up for our host, Mintshade!" Instagram yowled out. The curtains raised and Mintshade appeared in her chair. "Welcome everybody. Today I would like to give my co-host Shimmerpearl a chance to shine! She will announce the winner, mainly because the last episodes never had a winner!" Mintshade meowed. Shimmerpearl padded across the stage, took a bow, and took a seat. "Today our competing couples will be... Lionblaze and Heathertail, and Dovewing and Tigerheart! Just to let you know, we don't choose the couples. Tansy forbade us from using the 'kidnap and stick' method. So couples put their names down on a form. Then they give the form in, and now are on the show!" Instagram yowled. She added the last part when she saw Cinderheart snarling from the crowd. Anyways, the couples came in. "WHAT! WHY IS SHE HERE!" Mintshade screeched. "Hey! At least I can make a choice between my lovers!" Heathertail snarled. Mintshade regained her posture. "No, not you. In fact, I like your love life. Not with Lionblaze, but you and Breezepelt are amazing together!" Mintshade meowed cheerfully. "IT'S HER I HATE." She snarled, gesturing to Dovewing. "Move along!" Tansy called out. "Okay. So, question no. 1: Have you ever had another mate, besides the one on stage with you?" Shimmerpearl asked. "Nope! I am the most loyal cat you could meet! Tigger-heart and I are by far the cutest couple here! If in weren't for him, my powers might not be as strong!" Dovewing gushed. "Keep talking. I dare you." Mintshade snarled. "Well, originally Heathertail and I wanted to be 'just friends'. But then our feelings grew. But borders are borders, so we left our friendship behind and took up new mates. You saw last episode." Lionblaze meowed. "Well, I think that's a point for both of you!" Shimmerpearl meowed. "NO! THE MARY SUE CANNOT HAVE A POINT!" Mintshade screeched again. "Can you be a kindred soul and find your happy place? I would be so happy if you could! And me being happy is the best thing that could happen to you! Just ask Bumblestripe! While I don't love him-" Dovewing was cut off by a blood-curdling screech. Mintshade lunged for the gray she-cat. A ball of gray fluff started forming on the stage. "Well, let's just declare Lionblaze and Heathertail the winner then!" Shimmerpearl meowed, fighting for words. "Nope. IF MY OWN MATE BETRAYED ME ON THIS SHOW, WELL, HE'S NOT WINNING ANYTHING WITH HEATHERTAIL!" Cinderheart yowled from the audience. "Stop fighting this instant! Or no paycheck!" Tansy hissed at Mintshade. Mintshade did not hear her. "We need backup." Tansy mused. "MAPLEMOON! COME OUT AND DO YOUR JOB!" Tansy yowled from across the auditorium. From behind the stage, a white and ginger colored she-cat came out. "What do ya want me to do?" She meowed to Tansy. "Just stop them, somehow." Tansy meowed. Maplemoon saluted to Tansy and ran backstage. Mintshade and Dovewing were still fighting. It looked like one of them drew blood. "Well, I should declare a winner, shouldn't I?" Shimmerpearl asked Instagram. "Yea, you should." Instagram agreed. After about 5 minutes, Maplemoon came out from backstage with what looked like an old picture of Firestar and Princess with their parents, Jake and Nutmeg. Maplemoon raced over to the red and gray ball of fluff, which had somehow gotten into the audience. "MARY-SUES SHALL DIE! DIE DOVEWING! YOU'RE BETTER OFF WITHOUT THIS PIECE OF FOX-DUNG, TIGERHEART!" Mintshade screeched as she fought Dovewing. "Mintshade! How disrespectful of you! You should know to be a good cat! While not all cats can be as perfect as me, you should try to be like me! I am your role model Mintshade! Let's stop fighting." Dovewing meowed. "Okay. I'll act like you." Mintshade snarled. Her eyes glinted a brighter mint green. "Hello, all you cats, it's me, Dovewing! The most perfect Mary-Sue in history of Mary-Sues! I have so many toms fawning over me, I can't choose which one to be my mate, even though there is only one cat that I can legally be with! And even then, my great-uncle Firestar would let me do whatever I want, because I am the most perfect cat in the world!" Mintshade meowed sarcastically, mocking Dovewing. The crowd mrrrowed with laughter. "That may not be nice to my sister, but it's accurate!" Ivypool chuckled from the audience. "Okay! Cats of all Clans! Since my co-host clearly hates one of our guests today, Lionblaze and Heathertail win this round!" Shimmerpearl yowled. "I'll allow that. But what's the prize?" Mintshade meowed to Shimmerpearl. "Great StarClan! Did we forget to announce a prize?" Shimmerpearl meowed, panic rising in her voice. "WAIT! There has never been a winner of any of the previous prizes. Lionblaze and Heathertail could choose one of those prizes." Instagram meowed. "That will work." Lionblaze meowed. "Okay. Which prize would you like?" Mintshade asked. "We'll take the trip to Mew York City. I want to go to see the Meowing King and get be a guest on the SIMM Gossip Hour." Heathertail meowed. "So it is. Lionblaze and Heathertail are the winners!" Shimmerpearl yowled. Finally! The first episode with a winner! Tansy was happy that the show finally got on a roll. But somewhere in the crowd, Mintshade heard a voice.
"You are so in trouble, mister."
