FRED the CAT!

Once Fred had warped away with Bluestar, He appeared in a random forest.

"What the HECK!" Fred mewed.

Then he thought to himself, I don't mew. Then he thought, THIS IS A TIME WARP TRIO REMAKE OF IT'S THE HEDGEHOG'S MEOW ISN'T?

"Yes." Blazenutmeg said. "Except it's more epic because BLUESTAR'S IN IT!

So then Fred realized that he was apparently much shorter and fluffier because he looked up and saw Joe and Sam staring down at him with very shocked (and possibly horrified) faces.

"OMG!" Anna screamed, because Joe's annoying little sister had apparently jumped into the warp thing just as they'd warped out. "He's just so…ADORABLE!"
She picked up Fred and started cuddling him and petting him and saying those cute little things you say to pets like, "Who's the most adorable cat in the world? You are!"
And Fred was like, well, this feels really good, oh, no, scratch more to the left, yeah, that's good…OK, there's something really wrong here, I should be clawing your eyes out, but oh, no, my neck. Not there. Yeah, that's better….

So then Fred looked up at Sam and Joe and mewed, "What happened?" And both Joe and Sam looked like they were going to cry from terror. And so when Fred said, "MEW!" they both ran away screaming like little Irish Chipmunks.

And Bluestar was not there. So Fred jumped out of Anna's arms and set off to find her. Anna went off to find Joe and Sam (who were hiding in a cave)

Fred was walking along. Then, because he was not watching where he was going, he bumped right into some big, brown thing.

"Watch where you're going!" Tigerclaw wheeled around, teeth bared, claws unsheathed, looking like he was going to shred poor Fred to bits right then and there. But when he saw Fred was looking at him with bright blue eyes shining with curiosity and a hint of surprise, not fear, he decided that he could ask Bluestar to make the fuzzy yellow-furred kit his apprentice in like, a hundred moons! BECAUSE FRED WAS APPARENTLY VERY TINY!

"What in STARCLAN ARE YOU DOING OUT HERE! YOU CAN'T BE MORE THAN A MOON OLD!" Tigerclaw yowled, fearing for the tiny kit's life. "AND WHAT THE HECK IS ON YOUR HEAD!"

Fred was still wearing his hat.

It was stuck over one furry yellow, pointed ear and lopped over to one side.

"Uh…it's called a hat." Fred mewed. But Tigerclaw picked him up by his scruff and fled to camp with him.

"Brindleface!" He meowed to the most EPIC QUEEN IN THE NURSERY, whose kits had recently died. "Can you watch this fuzz ball? He was alone in the forest! I THINK HE WAS GOING TO GET EATEN BY COWS!"

"You have the strangest fears." Brindleface mewed. "But I can watch the sweet kit. Does he have a name?"

"Nope." Tigerclaw mewed. "You can name him." He set Fred down and gave him a rather rough but loving lick. Brindleface nudged Fred toward her belly with her tail. Confused, Fred stretched out on his back and went to sleep.

"Yo, Brindleface, Me GIRL!" Frostfur, Brindleface's sister mewed. "SUP?"

"I got this kit." Brindleface THE EPIC meowed, "Tigerclaw brought him in from the forest. He has no name."

"Hmm." Frostfur mewed in her epic retro way. "We should call him Hippiekit!"

"Oh, no way. Not Hippiekit. That's just wrong." Goldenflower mewed from across the nursery. "How about….Sunkit? Like that Sunstar from when Bluestar was a warrior?" She looked at Fred. "His fur sticks out everywhere like the sun. And he's very weirdly yellow."

"Sure." Frostfur mewed. "K, Brindle?"

"Well, what's with the blue thing on his head?" Brindleface mewed and Fred twitched in his sleep and made a pillow out of his hat and Brindleface's tail.

"IT'S A HAT!" They heard Tigerclaw yowl from halfway across the camp.

"Let's call him HATKIT!" Squealed Goldenflower in that cutely excited way. So they did. ~~~~~
