Ever since y/n woke up they had a lingering feeling of just being mad. their face had been frozen in mild angry expression with their mouth in a frown and their eyebrows furrowed. They let out a huff and got out of bed and headed to the Catavator to meet up with Baby Box Cakey and Dj catnip for Breakfast.
"hey y/n are you ok?" Baby box asked as she hopped into the Catavator. y/n let out a sigh.
"uhh...yeah i..guess" they replied while they crossed their arms and shifted their eyes around. Baby box tilted her head, she knew they were upset but didn't press for answers. The Catavator stops at the kitchen and the two cats step out.
"good morning baby box good morning y/n" Cakey Cheered. y/n rolled their eyes and sat down "good morning cakey" Baby box replied "whats for breakfast?" y/n asked in a slightly monotone voice. "pancakes!" he said as he slid both Baby Box and y/n plates of stacked pancakes. Cakey had also placed a bowl of fruit salad in the middle of the table with syrup and and jug of juice. He sat down beside Baby box in the booth.
The three kitties dig in enjoying their breakfast. Then Dj catnip strolls in "whats up kitty cats" he says sitting down beside y/n as he grabbed a plate for himself. Dj catnip notices y/n's slight aggressiveness with picking up their food. y/n stabbed their pancake slices and fruits.
"hey y/n are you ok?" Dj catnip asked Turing his head, while Cakey and Baby box also looked up from their food looking at y/n. "yea...why?" they grunted while taking a bite of fruit. Cakey and Baby box looked at each other and went back to eating.
As y/n finished off their food they got up and put their dishes in the sink along with Baby box and Dj Catnip. The four cats gathered at the round counter. "so what do you all want to do now?" asked Cakey as he was washing dishes "i got some new supplies ive been wanting to use" the cardboard cutie answered "do you want to join me?" she asked "sure!" Cakey cheered as he jumped in the air.
"y/n do you wanna make a craft with us?" Baby box asked "no i DONT feel like crafting right now...maybe..later" they grunted. Baby box was taken aback at her friend's outburst while Cakey took a step back "uh...well what about you Dj?" the cardboard cutie asked. He looked at y/n who had their arms crossed and head down. "nah maybe another time you two go ahead"
The two smaller kitties hopped to the Catavator going up to the Craft Room while Dj Catnip took y/n aside to have a chat "y/n whats going on?" he asked.
"i dont know im just mad" y/n replied. Dj catnip shrinks to their level "do you know why you're mad did something happen?" y/n thought to themselves for a moment, sitting with that question as they looked away from Dj catnip and sighed "oh...i dont KNOW" they replied as they dropped their arms. "Okay i think we should take some deep breathes" Dj catnip says.
"lets count to four then breathe in then count to four again and breathe out okay?" Dj catnip instructed
"one...two...three...four breathe in" Dj catnip says as they inhale
"one...two...three...four breathe out" Dj catnip says as y/n exhales
Dj continues to coaches y/n through breathing exercises to attempt to get them to calm down a little but "so now do you feel a little bit better?" Dj catnip asked "a little" y/n replied "hmm...now that you've calmed down a bit why don't we go over to the music room?" Dj catnip asked. y/n looked up as their brows furrowed "really?" they asked "yeah" Dj says grabbing their paw and leading them over to the Music Room
Dj catnip leads y/n over towards the rainbow couch to sit with them. "i think its time to play the mad day drums" dj said as he stretched his arms grabbing it for them in y/n's favourite colour. Dj Grabbed himself a guitar and the two went off. "now hit away! get your feelings out" he said As the pair of cats played away. y/n no longer felt mad as it melted away and turned into calmness. Their frown flipped into a smile as their paws continued to hit the small drum."so are you feeling better?" Dj catnip asks putting down his guitar. "yep" they replied "if you ever feel mad or are just having a bad day just come to me and the dums will be waiting for you" he assured. y/n pushed the drum to Dj
"so do you want to go to the craft room now?" he asked "sure!" they sang hopping off the couch skipping towards the Catavator
