"Hi, everybody, I am one of your hosts, Firestar," a flame pelted orange tabby tom with emerald eyes greets. "And these are my co-hosts, Squirrelflight, Bramblestar, and Graystripe," he finished. A dark ginger she-cat with green eyes pounced onto the stage. "I am Squirrelflight, and this is my mate, Bramblestar," she introduced. A dark brown tabby tom with amber eyes waved. "And this here is Graystripe, Firestar's best friend," Bramblestar finished the introduction. "Welcome to the Life Stories of the Warrior Cats!" they all yelled in unison.
"Our first story is one that includes lost love, straying away from home, and finding home again. The one, the only, Graystripe!" Firestar said at the camera. The camera man, Tigerstar, gave him a reluctant thumbs up.
I know what your thinking: What is TIGERSTAR doing on the show? Well, nobody wanted to be the camera man, or knew how to work a camera, so Bramblestar had no choice but to hire his dad.
"Okay, Graystripe was born in ThunderClan to Willowpelt and Patchpelt. His childhood friends, Sandstorm and Dustpelt, grew away from him, so he befriended Ravenpaw, Robinwing and Fuzzypelt's son. Soon after Graystripe became an apprentice, he met a young kittypet named Rusty. Rusty joined the Clan and took on the name Firepaw. Ravenpaw, Graypaw, and Firepaw were inseparable! Life continued on. Graypaw and Firepaw were named warriors: Graystripe and Fireheart while Ravenpaw went to live at a barn by WindClan territory because Tigerclaw was threatening him. Graystripe and Fireheart got their first apprentices, Brackenpaw and Cinderpaw. It was at that time when they were fishing where Graystripe almost drowned that he met the love of his life, Silverstream. They continued to meet in secret, while Fireheart trained Brackenpaw. Brackenpaw's sister had been hit by a monster and was now a medicine cat apprentice. Anyway, it wasn't long before Silverstream was expecting his kits. They were both overjoyed, but soon she died from blood loss while giving birth. Graystripe thought he had lost his kits and his mate, but he was wrong. His kits were still alive. Graystripe then made the heartbreaking decision to move to RiverClan to raise Stormkit and Featherkit. But Graystripe was unhappy there. After six moons, he moved back to ThunderClan after his kits became apprentices. He continued to check in on them at Gatherings and was immensely proud when they became warriors: Stormfur and Feathertail. Firestar named him deputy after the death of Whitestorm in the battle of BloodClan. Several moons later, his daughter and son headed to the sundrown place along with Tawnypelt of ShadowClan, Crowpaw of WindClan, and Brambleclaw and Squirrelpaw of ThunderClan. When the cats came back, Feathertail wasn't there. Brambleclaw told him that Feathertail had died while saving the Tribe from Sharptooth. Graystripe blames Brambleclaw for her death and gets very angry. Eventually, he gets over it, though. It was at that time that Graystripe was captured by Twolegs, and separated from his Clan for many moons. On the run, he meets a kittypet named Millie, who joins him on his journey back to ThunderClan. They encounter many dangerous obstacles, but they get through and join the Clans again. Firestar is overjoyed to see his friend again after such a long time. Soon, Millie is expecting Graystripe's kits: Blossomkit, Briarkit, and Bumblekit. When his kits are apprentices, Briarpaw gets her back legs paralyzed due to a falling tree. He is very worried about her, and he comforts his mate, who is very distraught over her injuries. During the battle of the Dark Forest, Graystripe is seen grieving over the body of Firestar, telling him that he would have taken his place if he had let him. Graystripe retires to the elder's den along with Millie and Sandstorm. He is still resting there in peace today," Firestar covers the first story.
"Now for his theme song, 'Goodbye Lover' by James Blunt!" Squirrelflight announced. "Wait, that's not in the script!" Firestar yelled. "Squirrelflight! Squirrelflight!" He went chasing after her. Bramblestar rolled his eyes. "That's it for the show, guys! Feel free to comment!" With that the camera shut off and the lights went dark.
Sorry for the short chapter! I'll try to make the next one longer.
