The Registration Desk

Super Maid Cat stood in the grand lobby of the Hotel of Solitude, her red cape fluttering as she admired the towering crystal chandeliers above. The marble floors gleamed under the soft lighting, and elegant feline guests in fancy clothes walked past, chatting in hushed tones.

"Welcome to the Teleport Tournament!" announced a tall humanoid tiger behind the registration desk. His orange and black striped fur was perfectly groomed, and he wore a crisp navy blue suit with a golden name tag reading "Marcus."

Super Maid Cat approached the desk, her green eyes sparkling with excitement. "I'd like to register, please!"

Marcus smiled, showing his sharp white teeth. "Excellent! Name?"

"Super Maid Cat," she replied proudly.

As Marcus wrote her name on the registration form, Super Maid Cat noticed other contestants practicing their teleporting skills nearby. One sleek black panther disappeared and reappeared behind a potted plant. A tabby cat vanished in a puff of purple smoke.

"The tournament begins tomorrow morning," Marcus said, handing her a room key. "Good luck!"

The Practice Room Predicament

Super Maid Cat rode the glass elevator to the fifth floor, watching the city lights twinkle through the transparent walls. Her room key card showed "Practice Room 5B" in elegant gold letters.

She pushed open the heavy wooden door and gasped. The room was enormous, with mirrors covering every wall and soft mats scattered across the polished floor. A small sparrow with bright yellow feathers perched on a wooden beam near the ceiling.

"Hello there," Super Maid Cat called to the sparrow. "Are you practicing too?"

The sparrow chirped once and flew in a perfect circle.

Super Maid Cat decided to try a simple teleport across the room. She concentrated hard, closed her eyes, and felt the familiar tingling sensation. When she opened her eyes, she was stuck halfway inside the mirror on the opposite wall.

Her legs dangled in the practice room while her upper body was somehow trapped in the reflection. She could see herself from both sides.

"This is definitely not normal," she muttered, wiggling her arms. The sparrow landed on her shoulder and tilted its head curiously.

Super Maid Cat tried to teleport again, but instead of freeing herself, she multiplied into three versions stuck in three different mirrors.
