Hi everyone!
I've had this idea for a Warriors story for FOREVER and I finally decided to start writing it after I made my comeback with "Dangerous Storms" which is the sequel to my first story, Lost Love.
Jayfeather: Comeback? What are you, some celebrity?
Moon: I couldn't think of another word, okay?
Jayfeather: Psh you call yourself an author?
Dovesong: Stop being a meanie.
Lionblaze: JAYFEATHER IS A MEAAANIIIEEE JAYFEATHER IS A MEEEEANNNIEEE
Moon: Enjoy the story and don't forget to R&R!
Jayfeather: FLAMEEE HERRRR! GIVE HER BAD REVIEWSSSS!
Disclaimer: Moon does not own Warriors. She only owns the characters in this story.
The sky was a pale pink as the morning broke through.
It seemed everyone was asleep.
The only movement was the gentle swaying of trees in the cool morning breeze.
Blake gazed out his window before he yawned and finally closed the book he had read the entire night.
He crawled into his bed and had just laid his head down on the pillow when the front bell rang startling him.
"Blake! Ben! Are you two awake?" Mikayla's shrill voice tore through his head and he let out a loud groan.
"Blake? Blake! Open the door! It's like a gazillion degrees out here!" shrieked Mikayla.
"Ben, get the door!" Blake yelled, burying his head in his pillow.
"You get it!" yelled back Ben from upstairs.
Blake groaned again then dragged himself out of bed. He shuffled slowly out of his room and towards the front door.
"What do you-"
Blake stopped suddenly at the sight of Driane.
"Hi Blake," she said softly.
She was dressed casually in skinny jeans and a loose T-shirt that read "Protect the Puppies". Her long, raven black hair was tied back in a ponytail and to his delight, she had on the star shaped earring that he had bought her last year.
"Uh hi Driane," he stammered, suddenly very aware of his messy blond hair, his baggy sweats that he wore to bed, and the shirt with the arrow going through a rabbit's head that Driane disliked that he was wearing.
"Mikayla and Driane are here already?"
Ben's groggy voice came from the top of the stairs.
Mikayla's blue eyes lit up. "Bennnn!" she squealed and pushed past Blake into the house.
"Come in, Driane. I heard Mikayla say that it's hot outside," Blake said, trying to be as casual as possible.
"It's only seven in the morning. It's not hot at all," Driane said with a smile and entered the house.
Blake silently cursed at his stupidity and closed the door.
He turned around to see that Mikayla was hugging Ben tightly while Ben was trying hard to push her away.
"Get away Mikayla. I just woke up," he muttered, his face bright with embarrassment.
"I missed you so much since yesterday!" she whined, looking up at him with her big blue eyes.
Driane gave a small laugh before heading up the stairs.
Blake's eyes followed her up the stairs, his eyes never leaving her petite, slender body.
"Come on Mikayla," she coaxed and pulled the blond girl away from Ben who gave Driane a look of thanks and relief.
"Are you two ready for the camping trip?" Driane asked. "Our stuff is outside, in Mikayla's car."
"Uh…"
Blake ran his hand through his hair, remembering how Mikayla had called them the night earlier, reminding them about the camping trip.
Mikayla rolled her eyes. "Of course they didn't. Idiots."
With that, she marched into Ben's room.
"Hey! What are you doing in there?" said Ben with a yelp. "Get out!"
"Why? Is there something I shouldn't see?" replied Mikayla as she rummaged through his closet.
Blake smirked. "There's plenty of stuff that Ben would want to hide from you, Mikayla."
"Shut up!" snarled Ben and ran into his room.
Driane laughed, causing Blake's heart to stop beating for a moment, and then turned towards him. "I'll start making sandwiches and trail mix for you two. You probably won't need any other food. Megan bought pretty much the grocery store's entire stock of ramen."
Blake chuckled and leaned on the wall, hoping to look cool. Just then his stomach rumbled loudly.
Driane covered her smile with her hand. "I'll make you some breakfast."
With that, she turned and went down the stairs, leaving Blake pounding his head against the wall and cursing silently again.
"Everyone ready?" called Mikayla as she dragged her hot pink suitcase into the minivan that Blake had rented a few days ago.
"Yeah, let me just get my jacket," yelled Blake and ran back into the house.
He went into his room and looked through his closet until he found his gray jacket and ran back out.
Megan was in the kitchen, eating one of the waffles that Driane had made for breakfast. "Hey Blake. Don't you guys have any ice cream?"
Blake rolled his eyes. "Megan, we're going on a hiking trip. We don't need any ice cream."
Megan stuck her tongue out at him before stuffing the entire waffle into her throat.
Blake winced as crumbs fell onto the shining kitchen floor and wondered for the billionth time in his life how anyone could care so little about their surroundings.
"Blake! Megan! We're leaving!" Ben shouted.
"Come on. Let's go," muttered Blake, trying to ignore the syrup that was all over Megan's mouth.
He jogged out the door, slipping on his jacket as he ran.
Megan followed him, locked the door, and got into the van.
"Everyone ready now?" asked Ben from the driver's seat.
"Yes," replied Driane, who was sitting way in the back with Blake.
"I still think we need ice cream," muttered Megan but gave Ben the thumbs up anyway.
"Then let's goooo!" squealed Mikayla, hanging onto Ben's arm.
Ben slowly pushed her away, back into the passenger seat she was sitting in.
"Hey Driane, do you want to sit up front?" he asked, his eyes clearly begging her to say yes.
Mikayla's eyes narrowed. "Why should Driane sit up front?"
Ben blinked. "Uh… Because Driane is better at reading the map than you."
"She is not!" snapped Mikayla angrily. "Why can't I sit up front? I can read the maps for you! Plus I can feed you when you get hungry and-"
"Alright, just let her sit up front, Ben," interrupted Blake, massaging his head. Mikayla was so annoying sometimes.
Mikayla beamed at him. "See? Even Blake says I'm better than Driane."
Blake straightened up in his seat. That's not what he meant at all! "Hey I never said-"
Driane laughed. "It's fine. And it's okay, Mikayla. I won't sit in the front. I like sitting in the back with Blake anyway."
"I bet Blake likes it more than Driane does," whispered Megan to Mikayla with a smirk.
"Hey! I heard that!" snapped Blake.
And so the road trip started.
So how did you like the first chapter? Is it okay? Good? Horrible? $#^#w%q $% #?
Jayfeather: It's obviously the fourth.
Moon: ._.
Anyway, that was the first chapter. It's been a while since I wrote so my writing skills are a bit rusty. So what will happen next? Why are there only Twolegs and no cats? You'll find out in the next chapter! :D
Jayfeather: …or they can just read the summary and figure everything out for themselves.
Moon: …or that.
Please review!
