"It's Lionshine?" Pebblepounce asked, tipping his head to the side. "That doesn't look like her." He peered out the window at the police ship following them.

"You idiot," Shadepelt grumbled. "Lionshine's in the spacesuit, not" Pebblepounce's eyes widened.

"Right." He spat out a string of gibberish to Mooshifur, who stopped the car. Lionshine waved at them from her position floating in space. Alderwood waved back to his sister, looking mildly concerned for her. 

Suddenly, a few very small cats step out of the police ship and into space, wearing slim jetpacks and holding what appears to be lasers. They start shooting at Lionshine, but the light just reflects off her suit. Lionshine appears confused.

"He—hello?" she called into the radio, hoping someone is listening on her frequency. "I come in peace! To get to that ship!" But Lionshine heard no answer.

Meanwhile, Mooshifur is trying to call the police again.

"IoWOIEJGowiejgweoigjoiwej," she said into a phone, sounding distressed. Pebblepounce nods along with her, as if he understood (which he did). "Yqpmbnigkdqwprmbni, oy3wen ooq ogwofe nqiwor ooq owege otwj ie!" 

"Why aren't the lasers hurting her?" wondered Alderwood aloud.

"The suits are made of reflective material.... I guess they don't have that here at Saturn." Shadepelt shrugged. "The photon beam is probably supposed to enter her body and penetrate the cells, but the reflective suit protects her." 

"I guess I can't complain about how annoyingly shiny they are," Pebblepounce remarked before turning back to Mooshifur and continuing to talk. 

"Oinihowegoiwej oijh owitjweoi oioewjg oiejgwoe jgo ww," Mooshifur whimpered. "oiwoijgwoiejg wjojoieoi OIEJWOIETJWEOIJ oijoijWOIGJ WEIOJGWEOI JWGIEOWEJIO J!"

"No need to get them mad, er, wioehewoi gweogi weogiew o'weigwne," Pebblepounce told her gently.

"OIGEWOG!" Mooshifur seethed, slamming the phone done and sitting back in her chair. The small cat looked rather angry, and Shadepelt backed away, pressing against the clear back of the ship.

Finally, the police stop firing and retreat back to their ships. Lionshine, scared, floats toward Mooshifur and the others. She climbs into the pod, not wanting to frighten the Saturn cat.

Alderwood, Shadepelt, and Pebblepounce climbed into the pod. They all barely fit. "Goodbye Mooshifur!" Alderwood said with a sigh as the pod door closed. "You were really hot."

"I'm not translating that," muttered Pebblepounce. "And she's only thirteen moons!"

Alderwood's eyes widened, but before he could respond, Shadepelt gunned the engine and started flying back toward the S.S. Catmint.

"How's Greenface?" asked Pebblepounce, turning to Lionshine. "Did you get him all... casted up?"

"Yeah, he's fine now," responded Lionshine stoically as the ship's door opened and the pod slid through, docking on the ground. The crew climbed out and into the main hallway. Greenface was in the control room, waiting with a bottle in his paw.

"Guess what guys! I found anti-nausea medicine!" Greenface cheered.
