This is one of the many songfic ideas I've thought up of. There are many other's I have typed up, but I just want to see if I can up load them like a story.

Disclamer: Warriors does not belong to me. Neither does the song "Make a Man Out of You."

"Make a Cat Out of You"

Rain started to pour lightly, then growing stronger as Thornpaw padded after his mentor Firestar. "Where are we going to day sir?" he asked. Firestar stopped causing Thornpaw to bump into him. The apprentice looked into his mentor's green eyes.

"I told you not to call me sir," he mewed gently. "It's Firestar, and we're going to go and work on patience." He flicked his tail and then added. "Which...you really don't...have."

Thornpaw made a face at him and padded on. Firestar sighed and followed his apprentice. They reached a clearing with a large tall stone, higher then any tree Thornpaw had seen his life.

"This," his mentor flicked his tail towards the stone. "Is Tree Stone, it is called that name because it is higher than the great oak tree back home..." He pause then shook his head. The apprentice's eyes widened as he watched his mentor grab a shiny rock, climb up the large stone and place it on one of the ledges of Tree Stone. He jumped down after and sat in front of Thornpaw.

He tilted his towards the rock which Thornpaw understood as, go get it. Thornpaw nodded and padded forward. He looked up at the tall stone and started wondering how he would get it. Finally he jumped up and started climbing. He unsheathed his claws trying to stay on the large stone, but he started to slip and he fell on the floor. Thornpaw groaned and tried again, but with no avail. Starting to get frustrated he jumped up again and this time tried to sink his teeth into the stone.

"OUCH!" he yowled letting go and falling down hard on the floor. Firestar raced up to him. Thornpaw quickly stood and shook his fire pelt off. "I nearly got the hang of it." he meowed stubbornly. Firestar hung his head and sighed.

"We've got a long way to go." Lightning flashed behind Firestar as he jumped up on to a rock and he looked at his apprentice.

Firestar:
Let's get down to business--to protect the Clans.
Did they send me weaklings when I asked for the strong?
You're the saddest cat I ever met
But you can bet before we're through

Mister, I'll make a cat out of you.

The next day Ashfur, Brambleclaw, Whitepaw, Brackenfur and Cloudtail were watching Firestar and his apprentice. Firestar was trying to teach his apprentice how to swim in the lake, but Thornpaw would make an excuse, or run away. Firestar convinced him to at least stand near the shallows of the lake.

Firestar:
Tranquil as a forest
But on fire withinOnce you find your center
You are sure to win
You're a spineless, pale, pathetic pet
And you haven't got a clue
Somehow I'll make a cat out of you!

The cats watched as Thornpaw exclaimed something about the sun and darted off again with Firestar not far behind. Cloudtail shook his head.

Cloudtail:
He's never gonna catch his breath

Ashfur:
Better say good-bye to whom knew him

Brambleclaw:
Boy he was a fool, it's true, for coming here

The cats saw Firestar actually dragging Thornpaw into the water. Thornpaw's eyes were wide with fear.


Brackenfur:
Firestar's got 'em scared to death

Whitepaw:
Hope he doesn't see right through him

Thornpaw:
Now I really wish that I knew how to swim!

Firestar and Cats:
(Be a cat)
You must be swift as the coursing river
(Be a cat)
With all the force of a great typhoon
(Be a cat)
With all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon

After the short swimming lesson Firestar took him out hunting. He was stalking a mouse, thinking about his apprentice's soon coming day to weather he can stay or not.

Firestar:
Time is racing toward us till the day arrive
Heed my every order and you might survive

Firestar was about to leap on his prey when Thornpaw ran in front of him, not noticing him, chasing a butterfly. The mouse ran away. Firestar flattened his ears and lifted himself up from his crouch. "Thornpaw!" Thornpaw skidded to a halt and turned to face his mentor. He motioned him to come over to him. Thornpaw padded over to his mentor. He could see anger in the green eyes. Firestar stared long and hard at his apprentice as he padded away from him. Thornpaw, confused at his mentors reaction, padded after him. They reached Tree Stone, when Firestar turn sharply and hissed at apprentice.

"Go back home, you shouldn't be named apprentice Trigger." he hissed.

Firestar:

You're unsuited for the rage of war
So pack up, go home, you're through
How could I make a cat out of you?

Trigger watched as Firestar padded away. StarClan seemed to sense his grief, because a light fall of rain started. Trigger felt ashamed, what had he done wrong? He looked up at Tree stone again The ginger flamed tom glared at the stone.

"Alright you stupid rock!" he yowled. "I'm going to climb you, get the other stupid rock, and prove to Firestar I'm worth something!" He bunched up his muscles and sprang up again. He tried digging his claws into the rock again but he fell. He growled and stared at the rock. Something caught his attention. There were small holes among the rock.. He thought a moment then placed a paw in one of the holes. He continued doing that and noticed that he was getting closer and closer to the shiny rock on the ledge.

"Thornpaw!" Trigger looked down and saw Whitepaw and her mentor Brackenfur. He didn't see where he placed his right fore paw and missed one of the holes. He slid a bit causing Whitepaw to let out a gasp. "Hold on Thornpaw! You can do it!"

(Be a cat)
You must be swift as the coursing river
(Be a cat)
With all the force of a great typhoon
(Be a cat)
With all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon

Trigger heaved him self up and relocated his paws in the proper holes. He finally reached the edge where the rock was. He grabbed the rock and continued up until he made it to the top of Tree Stone. Brackenfur stared in amazement and Whitepaw let out a yowl of triumph. Trigger threw his head back and yowled as well. Firestar came running back to Tree Stone with Sandstorm with him. Trigger threw down the rock in front of his mentor. Firestar stared at it then he stared up at him. Trigger flicked his tail.

"Patience Firestar," he mewed. Firestar stared at him a little longer and then nodded.

"Yes Thornpaw, patience."

(Be a cat)
You must be swift as the coursing river
(Be a cat)
With all the force of a great typhoon
(Be a cat)
With all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon!
