Congrats to Jayfeather444 for being the first to answer the question! YAYYYYY! Anyway, yeah it's finally done. Not as good as last chapter, but it's something. Response to mah reviews ;) :
Flame-rubix cube: That they shall! :)
DCB: I was planning to do that, along with some Heathertail drama.
Zestyperiwinkle: Thanks! And yes, I did do that. I'm not used to doing blind characters. One side of my brain is like, 'fix that', and the other side is just like, 'shhh keep going they won't know just accept it.' XD
NOW WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY-
Lionblaze: disclaimer. Tiny don't own nothin.
ON WITH THE CHAPTER!
"UP UP UP UP UP UP UP UP UP UP UP!" Lionblaze shouted to his sleeping sister. He grinned as Hollyleaf jumped out of bed and tripped over her own feet. She glared at him. "Hurry! It's our first day, and Jayfeather's already dressed and ready."he called as he ran back to his room and pulled out his clothes.
He quickly pulled on some dark colored jeans and a red t-shirt with the school jacket and rushed out the door, hopping on one foot as he put on his white sneakers. "Brush your hair!"snorted Hollyleaf as she ran through the hall, wearing a green tank, black sweater, and black skinny jeans.
Lionblaze rolled his eyes and ran in to the bathroom, grabbing the bush and running down the stairs as he ran it through his spiky hair a few times. "Hey Jay!" Lionblaze greeted his blind brother, who was eating cereal at the table with Brambleclaw, who was drinking his coffee and checking the mail.
"Is Hollyleaf up?"asked Jayfeather, pausing. Lionblaze nodded, then remembered his brother couldn't see. "Mhmm."he said as he popped some bread in the toaster, running out to check himself in the mirror. He looked at himself. His spiky gold-brown hair was, well, spiky, his eyes gleamed with anticipation, and he wore a big grin. "Lookin good Lion."Hollyleaf joked as she ran down the stairs.
"Jayfeather looks better. He wore the clothes we picked." he told his sister as he struck a random pose. "I'm surprised."she said. She whistled at Jayfeather as she passed, and his face turned bright red. Lionblaze laughed and put his hands on his brother's shoulders. "Ready to see BRIARLIGHT?!"he shouted, making Jayfeather turn around and punch his shoulder, hard.
"Owww."Lionblaze pouted and rubbed it. Brambleclaw glanced up from the mail. "So Briarlight's the girls name, eh?"he grinned. Jayfeather blushed even more. "We're just friends!"he protested, and Lionblaze laughed. "Just be careful where your affections fall." Lionblaze looked up as Squirrelflight said this. She was washing dishes.
"We wouldn't want you breaking the code." Hollyleaf added. "How many times do I have to say it before you get it! We. Are. Just. Friends." Jayfeather huffed, looking flushed. Just then the school bus honked. Jayfeather jumped up and grabbed his bag as Lionblaze grabbed the toast and tossed a piece to Hollyleaf.
"C'mon! Here's Jigsaw's leash." Lionblaze handed his brother the leash and scarfed down his toast. The three rushed out the door together and in to the bush. As they walked through the bus looking for seats, they heard a few sympathetic murmurs. Jayfeather looked angry, so Hollyleaf chose some seats in the back quickly. They sat down, Hollyleaf by the window, Jayfeather in the middle, and Lionblaze on the left side.
Across from them sat a girl with long, silky pale gray hair and blue eyes. She wore a school team T-shirt and faded, ripped jeans. She glanced at Lionblaze and gave him a small grin, then went back to staring out the window. Lionblaze felt his heart start to drum in his chest. He felt his cheeks go red and he looked at Hollyleaf. "Hollyleaf something's wrong!"he told her.
Hollyleaf looked up. "What?"she asked. "Well, when that girl looked at me, my heart started beating really fast and my face felt hot."he explained. Hollyleaf grinned. "You've got a cru-ush!"she sang, and Jayfeather snorted. Jigsaw, who sat on the floor, even looked like he was grinning. Lionblaze crossed his arms and looked away. The bus stopped in front of the large school building.
All the students pushed their way out and in to the school. "What do we do first?"Hollyleaf asked. "Go to the office to get our schedules." Jayfeather said. He kneeled down. "To the office."he murmured to Jigsaw. The dog immediately began to trot at a steady pace towards the office.
The three siblings walked together. When they arrived at the office, a girl in a wheelchair with glasses squealed. "Hey Jayfeather!"she smiled, rolling up to them. Jayfeather smiled. "Hey, Briarlight." he shuffled his feet. "Well, we'll just leave you two alone." Lionblaze grinned, grabbing Hollyleaf's arm and dragging her to the counter. The office lady gave them their schedules. Lionblaze looked at his. "Gym first."he nodded approvingly. Hollyleaf sighed.
"Me too."she groaned. Lionblaze fist pumped the air and grabbed her, dragging her towards the gym. From the noise heard from outside the gym, most the class was already in there. He took a deep breath and the two walked in together. "Think fast!" a boy with sandy blonde hair yelled as a ball two girls were passing back and forth flew towards them.
Hollyleaf jumped behind Lionblaze, who jumped up and caught it. "Here!" he threw the ball back effortlessly and pulled Hollyleaf out from behind him. "Seriously?"he snorted. Hollyleaf punched his arm and he rolled his eyes, looking around. It was a big room with dark green painted bleachers, locker rooms, and 2 basketball hoops. "Pretty sweet, right?"a sudden voice beside him made him jump.
He looked to see the girl from earlier looking at him. "Oh, um, yeah! It is."he nodded. "Never caught your name." she said. "I-I'm Lionblaze!" he told her. "Cinderheart."she smiled. "It's nice to meet you." Lionblaze returned the smile with a goofy grin. She laughed. "Hey, I could introduce you to my gang."she suggested. "Your gang?" Lionblaze tipped his head. "My group of friends. We're pretty mismatched."she grabbed his wrist and pulled him over to a group of students as he blushed a deep red.
A boy with gray and white hair looked up as they approached. A girl who looked just like him, beckoned them to the empty seats beside them. "Guys, this is Lionblaze." Cinderheart motioned to him and he gave a little wave. "Lionblaze, this is Mousewhisker and Hazeltail, the geeks,"she motioned to the two Lionblaze had seen. "The parrot is Poppyfrost,"she gestured to a girl with multi colored hair who snorted, "That good looking fella is Berrynose, a popular,"she pointed at a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes, "And-hey where's Briarlight?"she wondered. "With my brother." Lionblaze said. Cinderheart looked at him.
"The blind kid?"she asked. Lionblaze nodded. "Sweet." Cinderheart grinned. "So that's who she was on the phone with. I tried to call her, but the line was busy."she shrugged. Suddenly the doors open and Briarlight and Jayfeather rushed in. "Sorry we're late! We might have...got lost in the halls." Briarlight giggled, and Jayfeather just looked embarrassed. "My bad."he muttered. "Hey prince charming and Briarlight! Over here!" Cinderheart called. Jayfeather blinked and Briarlight grabbed his arm and wheeled herself over, dragging him with her.
An idea popped up in Lionblaze's head. He winked at the others and stuck out his foot a bit. Jayfeather yelped as he tripped over it and Briarlight reached out and wrapped her and around his waist so he didn't fall. They both blushed furiously as Berrynose whistled. "Hey brother." Lionblaze grinned. Jayfeather gave him a blind glare. "Shutup."he muttered, face still red. "Anyway, welcome to the school!" Cinderheart suddenly gasped and grabbed Lionblaze's arm and dragged him over to where a few papers were taped to the wall with Jayfeather and Briarlight following. "Have you checked out all the clubs yet?"she asked.
Lionblaze shook his head. "Not yet." "Well, do it now!" Briarlight gestures to the list on the wall. "Let's see, there's band, choir, chess club, ballet, basketball, cheerleading, baseball-wait, knitting clubs a thing?" Cinderheart sounded amazed. "I think Lionblaze should join that."snorted Jayfeather. "Pfft. Yeah right. That's about as likely as you joining chess club." Lionblaze retorted. Jayfeather rolled his eyes. "Maybe I could join cheerleading." Hollyleaf spoke suddenly, making them jump.
He hadn't noticed her approach. "No, you don't want to do that." Briarlight warned. "Why?"Hollyleaf asked. "THAT'S why." Cinderheart pointed to a girl approaching them. Light, long blonde hair hung down her back, and she stared at them with icy blue eyes. She wore a sweater and short skirt, and she was obviously wearing a bunch of makeup. Boys drooled over her, he could already see them.
"That's Honeyfern. The most popular popular that ever was popular." Briarlight sighed. "Well! Look here, if it isn't the new kids, the dorks, and the disabled!" Honeyfern smirked. Jayfeather took a step forward and opened his mouth. Hollyleaf slapped her hand over it and pulled him back. "Not worth it, Jay."she sighed.
Lionblaze could see the others were under her spell, shuffling their feet and frowning at the floor. "What was he gonna do anyway, bite me?"she laughed. Lionblaze was tempted to bite a chunk out of her arm then. "Who ARE you losers anyway?"she put a hand on her hip. "Er, I'm Lionblaze, and that's my sister Hollyleaf and my brother Jayfeather." He cautiously introduced himself. Honeyfern stared at him. "Well, so long as you know your place , your no threat to me."
she flipped her hair and walked away. "What the heck just happened?" Jayfeather frowned. "She just ranked you." Briarlight explained. "She RANKED us?"Hollyleaf blinked. "You guys are with us, the dorks, apparently." Cinderheart growled. "Uh, oh! I heard we're getting exchange students from the other towns!" Briarlight changed the subject. "Oh yes." Berrynose butted in. "I already know who." he smirked. "Who?" Lionblaze asked. "Us."
They all jumped again at the voice behind them. They hasn't noticed the new students behind them. One was girl with auburn hair and freckles, one was a boy with black hair and a black jacket, there were two twin girls who had light gray hair, and then Tigerheart and Dawnpelt. "Oh girl that top is not for you." Dawnpelt informed Hollyleaf.
"NOOOOOO NOT DAWNPELT!" Jayfeather and Lionblaze both yelled at the same time, Lionblaze dropping dramatically to his knees and Jayfeather crouching behind him. Dawnpelt pouted and crossed her arms. "Does the coach even teach?" asked the girl with auburn hair. "Not really." Berrynose snorted.
Jayfeather was still using Lionblaze as a human shield. Lionblaze shrugged his brother off and took a step forward. "HI IM LIONBLAZE." he informed them loudly. The others all covered their ears and glared at him. He grinned in apology. "I'm Breezpelt, that's Heathertail, Hollowflight and Icewing, and you know the Shadow people." The boy in black said, eyeing them critically.
"I'LL TAKE YOU TO GO GET RAAA-AAAANKED." Mousewhisker shouted and dragged them away. "O-kayyyy. Let's go use my powers of awkwardness to have some fun." Lionblaze did jazz hands and Cinderheart grinned. "After school, do you wanna go to our hang out place?" Cinderheart invited them. Lionblaze did a little curtsey. "I'd be delighted to." he said in a formal voice. Then he opened his backpack and pulled something out. Hollyleaf face palmed and Jayfeather sighed, guessing what it was. IT WAS THE FREAKIN LAMP.
