{Kitty's POV}
Me, Fire, Snap, Wild, Moose, Matt, Ben, and Ryan were chilling outside on that hot, sunny day, and I was making ice with my runes. We were all having fun until Fire has to take a call. She took it, hung up, and turned to us with a sad smile.

"I have to do online work for the mech shop, sorry, guys, but you all have fun without me," she said as she headed inside. "Please, if you get stressed out, come outside and have fun, okay?" Moose asked her. She nodded, flipping her hair out of her face and walking inside to her office, the one that Moose and her shared.

We played outside a bit, having fun going down the water slide and such, but I kept changing from a human to an ice wolf every time I went inside and came back out. I'd go into her office and stare up at her, asking if she was okay with my eyes. She'd always say she was okay, but I knew she was lying.

I went back out to chill, but before I left, I could see Fire almost pulling her hair out because she couldn't do it. I've never seen her this stressed in my life, but I knew if I went back in there, I'd be snapped at, and we'd start another whole fight, and it'd be bad. So I made the choice to stay outside.

After a good while, I heard Fire scream. Me and Moose ran inside, I was good to actually hide behind Moose. She was really mad.

Her hair was a mess, her face was red, she had tears in her eyes, and she was really close to crying and shaking. We decided to give her space and walk back outside. The others were so confused.

"What happened?" Snap asked. "Is she okay?" Jenny worried. "I don't know, I'm giving her some space," said Moose. "Yeah, me too, I wasn't about to get snapped at," I replied.

"You know what screaming and stress leads to, especially with Fire, don't you?" Ben asked. "A panic attack, a horrible panic attack," said Matt. "I know, but I'm sensitive, you know that," I defended. "We'd get into a fight if I got snapped at."

Moose and I walked into the office, where Fire was. She was shaking and crying, she didn't look very happy. Moose slid in an wrapped arms around her while I stayed outside of the door and listened.

"Hey, it's okay," he said. "Why don't we forget about work for now and have fun this summer, yeah?" She looked up at him with silence. He leaned down and kissed her. "Better?" he asked. She smiled. "Definitely better now."
