A/N- This is the first part of my funny series on Thunderclan learning to drive. I hope you find it funny and it will get better. R&R!
Disclaimer- I do not own warriors but the monster in the story is based on my dad's.
WARRIORS DRIVING LESSONS
Millie sighed. She still couldn't believe what had been decided at the gathering three nights before. And what had happened since.
The leaders of the four clans had decided that they must move into the modern age. And, in order to learn Thunderpath safety, they would have to learn to drive monsters.
Since Millie had been a kittypet previously, and had therefore been in monsters, she was qualified to teach them.
She looked down at her clipboard. On it was pinned a list of cats who had signed up for lessons after the gathering, and a battered copy of the highway code that Hollypaw had found in an abandoned monster. They had also taken the monster too.
The monster was red, and on the front it had a symbol saying 'V', on the back was written the word 'Volvo'. Reading twoleg writing was part of the 'modern age' stuff too.
Millie had devised a practice course through the forest. She had drawn some signs to warn cats of what was coming. She had found these in the highway code book. Millie sniggered. She had made some signs of her own too.
She flipped through the notes on her clipboard until she found the one she wanted. She had written out the training course that they had to learn. It went as follows:
1) Starting the car.
2) Learning the gears and the clutch.
3) Braking.
4) Parking.
5) REVERSE PARKING. - watch out, they may have problems. Note to self- ask Hollypaw to find a twoleg crash helmet.
6) Hill starts. - will be using Windclan territory for this
7) EMERGENCY STOPS. - this could be dangerous too. DO NOT DO NEAR LAKE!
8) Reversing. - maybe this should come before reverse parking?
9) Road signs.
Millie sighed and looked down at the watch that Hollypaw had found. Actually, she had found a whole bag full and now every cat in Thunderclan had one. Telling the time was part of the new 'modern age' regime as well.
Firestar was due for his lesson now. He would be learning braking today. He had started his lessons the day after the gathering.
Millie groaned. Firestar had already taken down half the forest because he had learned to start the monster, but he did not yet know how to brake. That would have to be amended in the course.
Firestar finally arrived and Millie greeted him. They went out to the monster. Millie jumped and opened the door, and the two cats leapt inside.
"Now," said Millie, "The middle pedal is the brake. You take your paw off the accelerator and push down on the brake to stop the monster or slow down. Okay?"
Firestar nodded and shuffled into the driving seat. A manic grin was spread across his face as he grabbed hold of the steering wheel. He turned the key, raised the handbrake, put the monster into 1st gear and slammed down on the accelerator.
"Wait!" cried Millie as she was flung over her seat and into the back of the monster. "You forgot to put your seatbelt on!"
