Herding Cats

Opalescence curled her long white tail around herself, pushing a large ball of lace off of her throne with a swipe of her fluffy paw. She watched with satisfaction as it tumbled downwards, landing on the floor with a soft thud. Opal stared hungrily at the ball of lace as it rolled under a crowded table and got tangled up with a million other wonderful but forgotten bits of string and sat there, in the shadows, waiting. Opal stood up and was about to leap off her perch when a loud voice shouted "Opal! How many times do I have to tell you not to sit on my mannequins?!" Opal was so surprised by this sudden outburst she slipped on the silky fabric of her owner's lasted dress and fell to the floor with a thud. "Honestly Opal, you silly cat. You're almost as bad as Sweetie Belle!" Opal watched wide eyed as a very angry Unicorn silently glared at her for a moment before gasping in shock, her bright blue eyes fixed to the scribbled on wall. "Sweetie Belle!" She yelled. "What did I do this time?!" A high, squeaky voice yelled back, making Opal jump in surprise and leap out an open window, her ears ringing.
