Shadow was the first awake. She heard the loud wind and thunder outside, and She knew they were no longer in space. We must be on Catmoon, she thought. She looked out the ship’s window in her and Phoebe’s quarters and saw the purple rain coming down. The wind was blowing hard and knocking things over. The sky was a dark purple, and the sun was nowhere in sight. Shadow wondered if the rain was safe.

“It’s beautiful, huh,” said Suzie as she walked into Shadow’s and Phoebe’s headquarters. Shadow jumped. She was startled by Suzie’s entrance. “Yes, it is,” said Shadow gathering her composure. “As you can tell, we have safely made it to Catmoon. We need to wake up Phoebe as Captain Cattitude wants to have a meeting with the crew,” said Suzie.

“Phoebe, wake up. We need to be ready for a staff meeting in a half-hour,” said Suzie as she gently placed her hand and shook Phoebe to wake up. “Ruff, ruff, ruff,” said Phoebe as she was startled by the hand on her shoulder. Suzie realized she should have gently shaken Phoebe’s mattress instead. “Sorry, Phoebe,” said Suzie. “I needed to wake you up. I thought direct contact was better than shaking your mattress. I was wrong, I am sorry,” said a sincere Suzie. After Shadow and Phoebe got dressed, the three of them headed to the conference room aboard the ship.

Everyone was milling into the conference room when Suzie noticed that Captain Cattitude was dressed in his military clothes. She knew what he was about to say was of high importance:

“Good morning, crew. As you can tell, we made it to Catmoon without the SCW’s stopping us. We damaged their navigation system, and it will take some time for the SCW’s to repair it. However, they will repair their Navi system and then head directly to Catmoon. We probably have a few days before they reach us. They are not going to be happy and will be gunning for all of us. After all, we did save Shadow from certain death. Luckily, the government is for protecting Shadow at all costs. Social war may break out between SCW’s plus their followers on one side and the government on the other side. We must be ready to do battle with the SCW’s once the SCW’s land on Catmoon,” said a solemn Captain Cattitude.
