1. Why it took so long for the Dark Forest to actually do something

Brokenstar: *Stands on rock* ALRIGHT, is everyone here?

Snowtuft: *rubs eyes* What's the deal with these meetings so early, Brokenstar? I was having this great dream and-

Brokenstar: You're dead, you don't need to sleep.

Snowtuft: Hmmph. Sleep is StarClan. Go worship.

*Tigerstar and Hawkfrost eye each other*

Hawkfrost: *whispers to Tigerstar* He DOES know we're in the Dark Forest, right?

Tigerstar: *whispers back to Hawkfrost* Don't crush his dreams. He really wanted to go to StarClan.

Hawkfrost: *whispering to Tigerstar* What did he even do to get here

Tigerstar: *whispers back* I...don't even know.

Mapleshade: *randomly appears seemingly out of thin air* WHAT ARE YOU TWO TOMS WHISPERING ABOUT? RUINING SHE-CATS LIVES? HMMM?

*Tigerstar and Hawkfrost jump 5 feet in the air*

Maggottail: You know, Mapleshade. You really work against yourself with your anti-tom crusade.

Mapleshade: Your mother named you after a maggot, you don't get to talk.

Snowtuft: *laughs* Good one, Mapleshade.

Maggottail: *glares at Snowtuft* Because Snowtuft totally sends fear into the hearts of our enemies, right?

*All cats besides Brokenstar start fighting and arguing*

*Thistleclaw comes out, stretching and yawning*

Thistleclaw: Hey guys, what'd I miss?

Brokenstair: *sighs* No wonder our revenge plot has taken 24 books.
