Hey all you fans out there! Ready for some Dib action? Then READ READ READ!

Dib was dragged into the waking world by the chirping of birds. I forgot to close my window again didn't I? He thought. He reached with closed eyes for the windowsill, but all he felt was air until his hand brushed against a leaf. The touch startled him and his eyes popped open. He was in a forest of oak trees. Dib leapt to his feet, but fell over. He stood on all fours and, strangely, that felt better.

"How did I get here?" Dib wondered. Then he decided to consider the first thing that came to mind. He growled to himself and muttered a single word.

"Zim."

Whatever trick Zim had played on him this time, he had to find his way out of here. He tried to reach up and straiten the point of his hair, as he did when he was thinking sometimes, but he couldn't reach it. Then he realized that he felt control over something sticking out of his rear. He turned and gasped to see a tail twitching in annoyance. He tried to move it, and it lashed back and forth. Dib glanced down and saw black paws planted firmly on the leaves.

He was about to scream, when he heard a groaning sound behind him. Dib turned to see a black cat with purple stripes and ears fidgeting on the ground as she fought to stay asleep. But her brown eyes opened anyways.

"Huh? When did we ever get a cat? Wait a minute-" she leapt to her paws and proceeded in beating up Dib.

Oh, that was Gaz alright.

"You do realize I'm going to have to destroy you now right?" Gaz snarled in a creepily calm tone.

Dib just licked his scratches, wincing at the sting and the salty taste of blood. He wasn't used to cleaning wounds this way but if he was a cat now, he might as well.

"Hey! You! what are you doing on Thunderclan territory!"

Dib and Gaz spun around to see a golden tabby cat, a black cat, and a white and gray cat staring at them, all fur bristling except for the black cat's.

"Thunderclan?" Dib wondered. Where had he heard that word before?

Oh, that's right! Zita was talking about a book series she was reading called Warriors in fourth period.

"Umm...we were just...uhhhh...exploring?" Dib stammered.

The golden tabby tom 'hmphed' and drew in a breath, taking Dib's scent with it.

"He smells of Twolegs. Kittypets."he rolled his amber eyes."Always wandering too far from their nests. Where is your collar?"

"Umm..." Dib started. But he was interrupted by Gaz.

"It tore off on a thornbush now let us go or I will destroy you!"

The golden tabby rolled his eyes."Like you could even touch me!"

Gaz growled and crouched, preparing to leap as the tom was bragging on himself.

"Your claws wouldn't even graze my-AGH!"the tom was floored as Gaz cannoned into him and rolled for a few feet. Then Gaz churned her hind paws against his belly and he yowled in pain. The tom launched her off and scrambled to his paws just as Gaz landed in front of him.

"That's enough, Lionblaze!" the black female cat meowed, thrusting her way in between Gaz and the tom.

"But she-"

"Enough!"

The tom sighed and looked at Gaz again, checking her over.

"You know, we could use good fighters like you."the tom meowed. Dib could sense Gaz was about to protest, so he shoved her gently away.

"Yes! Please, can we?" Dib pleaded.

The golden tabby tom, Lionblaze, looked to the black cat, who nodded. Lionblaze sighed.

"Alright. What are your names?"

"Mine is Dib and this,"he pointed to the angry, black and purple tabby snarling behind him."is my sister, Gaz."

"Are you willing to change them if Firestar says you can join Thunderclan?"

"Yes."

"OK, follow me." Lionblaze leapt into the bushes, followed by the black cat and the white and gray tom. Dib struggled to keep up, while Gaz pelted ahead of him as if she had been like this for years.

Suddenly, they burst into a ravine teeming with cats and kittens. Dib and Gaz were walked across the clearing, returning curious gazes(well, Gaz was returning them with glares). They leapt up a tumble of rocks into a den that smelled of lichen and moss.

"Firestar?"

"Come in, Lionblaze." a deep voice replied.

Dib padded beside Gaz deeper into the den to see a firey orange tom curled in a bed of moss with his head raised curiously at their arrival.

"What is this?"

"Two kittypets that we found on the Windclan border. They want to join Thunderclan."

Firestar stood up and stretched. He padded over to Dib and Gaz and inspected them closely.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey, join here beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting!" he called suddenly, leaping on the top of the den.

Many cats began to gather below, from kittens to old-looking cats. Dib spotted the black cat in the crowd and blinked in acknowledgement at her. She smiled in reply and turned her head to Firestar, who was explaining what happened.

"Dib, come here."

Dib jumped at the sudden comand and leapt up on the den next to Firestar. He stifled a gasp of astonishment as he realized what a good view Firestar's den had.

"Dib, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and defend this Clan, even with your life if necessary?"

Dib shuddered at the last words. He could die? Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all. But it was too late anyways.

"I do."

"Then by the powers of Starclan I give you your apprentice name. Dib, from now until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Nightpaw. May Starclan honor your courage and welcome you as a full apprentice of Thunderclan."

"Nightpaw! Nightpaw! NIGHTPAW!" the gathering cats chanted his new name.

Nightpaw stuck out his chest proudly.

Firestar flicked his tail for silence. "Nightpaw, your mentor will be Brambleclaw." he meowed.

Nightpaw watched as a handsome tabby tom leapt up to touch noses with him.

"Gaz come here."

Gaz stayed where she was, glaring at a black tom with a brown underbelly and long legs who was making faces at her.

"Gaz?"

Gaz turned towards Firestar and hissed, showing her elongated teeth. She then turned her head back to the tom.

Firestar backed away a couple of pawsteps and cleared his throat. "Gaz, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and defend this Clan, even with your life if necessary?"

Gaz just grunted, not turning her head. The long-legged tom was startled by her show of weapons and was staring with frightened eyes.

"Then by the powers of Starclan I give you your apprentice name. Gaz, from now until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Ragepaw. May Starclan honor your courage and welcome you as a full apprentice of Thunderclan."

"Ragepaw! Ragepaw! RAGEPAW!" the cats chanted.

"Your mentor will be Spiderleg."

The long-legged tom shark back in fear and nervously padded up to Ragepaw. She hissed at him and he jumped ,briefly touching noses with her, then ran back into the crowd to hide behind a cream tom.

Nightpaw chuckled and thought about Zim. What was he doing now?
