37: Gemini

Brick pads onto the stage, smiling brightly at the crowd and waving his tail at the crowd. He sits down, waiting for them to quiet before beginning.

"Hello, fans of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Stars, and welcome back to another episode!" the ginger tom cheered. "Today, we've got a special feature for a very special constellation... there are two guests visiting today!"

The crowd let out a gasp of surprise, then started to excitedly chatter. Who could this pair be?

Brick gestured toward the side stage. "Everyone, welcome the amazing Frozenpaw and Dreampaw!" 

Two black-furred she-cats pad out onto the stage, looking only mildly confused by the violently bright setting.

"Uh, is this Stage X?" one of the she-cats asked, tipping her head to the side.

Brick chuckled softly, grinning at the crowd before turning back to the pair of guests standing near him. "Well you see, this is Stage A, Frozenpaw— he began.

"Dreampaw," corrected the she-cat.

Brick flashed her a smile. "My bad, Dreampaw. Well, this is Stage A, where we are recording Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Stars."

One of the black cats groaned. "Oh, this stupid show? It always gets on the Dark Forest airways." She sighed dramatically, turning to her sister. "Wanna ditch this place?"

"Sure," Dreampaw (or Frozenpaw) responded.

The two black she-cats start to pad away, but Brick blocks them, glancing nervously at side-stage.

"You guys gotta stay here," he told them, flashing an apologetic grin. "Sorry!"

Brick rushes off the stage, looking rather nervous. He glances at Dreampaw and Frozenpaw expectedly, and one of them sighs.

"Fine, Frozenpaw... let's do this," assumingly Dreampaw meowed, turning to the crowd. "The constellation this week is Gemini, which means 'the twins'."

"Oh, I get the joke!" Frozenpaw meowed as an image was projected behind them.

"That's Gemini," Frozenpaw meowed, gesturing at the screen behind them. "It's got... stars and stuff... yeah."

Dreampaw nodded, elbowing her sister. "Gemini is the 30th largest constellation and one of the Zodiac constellations, which means it has a bunch of crazy people who thinks your birthdate determines your personality and stuff."

"I like zodiacs," Frozenpaw meowed with a frown.

"You're stupid," Dreampaw responded.

"Thanks."

"Anyways, the myth of Gemini goes like this—Gemini represents some dudes named Castor and Polydeuces. In the myth's most recent versions, Polydeuces is the son of Zeus but Castor isn't, even though they're like twins or something?"

"So their mom was the Spartan Queen and she was raped by Zeus and then she had Polydeuces, even though this constellation has Castor in it and is called the twins, so they're not really twins but are their constellation is known as the twins."

Frozenpaw looks confused.

"Now can we go?" Dreampaw asked.

"Sure," sighed Brick. "Just get out."
