A Counseling Catastrophe

Chapter Sixteen

Mottledleaf: *pokes her head inside from the front door* The sign is finally done from a couple days ago.

Feathershine: *looks up from playing Where's My Water* Okay. I hope you didn't mess it up too bad . . .

Mottledleaf gives her a scowl and goes back outside, waiting for her boss. Feathershine finally makes it outside and looks up at the sign, which says "Feathershine and Co." In tiny letters at the bottom, it reads "Come to Mottledleaf if you actually need advice."

Feathershine: What is this?? I command you to redo that sign right now! I'm the real counselor here! *huffs and turns to go back inside with her tail held high.*

Mottledleaf sighs and looks up at the sign. Suddenly, a commotion seems to be going on down the street. A rainbow-colored cat is seen bouncing her way towards the counseling office.

Mottledleaf: *runs inside* RAINBOW COLORED CAT COMING THIS WAY! *looks outside then back inside* IMPACT IMMINENT *runs inside*

Meanwhile, the rainbow colored cat got closer to the office and eventually smashes on the roof. The whole office shakes. Outside, the sign falls off of the front of the building and crashes down on the pavement. A moan of agony comes from Mottledleaf, and the crew comes out of the rooms to investigate.

Sandstone: *takes out one earbud* huh?

Fireheart: It's nothing my darling! Just some patient! *bats eyes at Sandstone*

Feathershine looks up at the roof for damage, and a sliding noise is heard. The rainbow colored cat drops off the roof and plops down in front of the entrance.

Rainbow Cat: Hellooo everybody!!! How are you? I just had this really nice stroll downtown and everybody was nice and a few even talked to me! I saw a friend and I offered her a cupcake. Do you like cupcakes?? They are the best! What's your favorite flavor? Mine is chocolate!! Chocolate is so good I get chocolate on everything!! I practically live on chocolate. If I could eat anything for my whole life I would eat chocolate! Coca plants are my favorite plant because they make chocolate!! Do you like chocolate?? I also love cupcakes and brownies and doughnuts and candy and ice cream and—

Feathershine: Uh, so . . . why did you come to the counseling office? *she says politely, but already knowing exactly why*

Rainbow Cat: Mum says I am hyperactive and eat too many sweets. And I say that you can never have enough sweets! And why would I be hyperactive? I'm not hyperactive at all! I'm the happiest person ever! I have so many friends, and make friends easily! Do you have friends?? OOH, do they give you cupcakes?? Friends that give you cupcakes are the best friends. And you can give cupcakes to them, too! Although I could never get it to my friends before I eat them, I have a big appetite! And do you know what I fill my appetite with?? Colorful cupcakes!! OOH, I love colors! I love red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, AND ESPECIALLY PINK! That's why I colored my pelt to be rainbow colors! I love making things really pretty and I love to decorate things! Although I can't decorate cupcakes because I
eat—

Mottledleaf: uh, Rainbow . . . Cat? Would you help me—

Rainbow-colored cat: Yes? Oh, and my name is Rainbowbelly! I should have said that first, but I was too busy talking! I love talking, and I can tell whatever I want to my friends! I love to talk about colors, cupcakes, rainbows,
candy—

Sandstone: SHUT UP ALREADY!!!

Rainbowbelly inhales sharply, looking really hurt. Her tail droops with her head, and she turns away, sniffing. A teardrop falls to the floor, and she slowly walks out of the counseling office. Feathershine looks pointedly at Sandstone, who goes back to her iPhone and starts texting again.

Feathershine rushes outside to find Rainbowbelly—who wasn't hard to find.

Feathershine: Rainbowbelly? We'll help you! Sandstone was, uh . . . . grouchy, she didn't mean it. Come on inside!

The rainbow-colored wonder immediately perked up and bounced back to the office, not using the door, but smashing through a window. Mottledleaf signed again, knowing that Feathershine would soon—

Feathershine: MOTTLEDLEAF!! CLEAN THIS UP! I HAVE TO GO TALK TO MY CLIENT!
