13. DO practice skills with Berrynose

Redpaw ran up to Berrynose. "Hey," she said. "Can you teach me some of your cool fighting skills?"

"Sure," replied Berrynose. "You know, I am the most skilled fighter of all the cats in ThunderClan. You should consider yourself lucky to be getting advice from me."

"Then I guess I should change my name to Luckypaw," joked Redpaw.

14. DON'T make fun of Berrynose's name (even though it is pretty funny)

"You should change your name to Luckypaw," replied Berrynose. "Every cat in the Clan should be thankful that they know me."

"But you should change your name, then," said Redpaw.

Berrynose groaned. "Of course. Why did I have to be named Berrykit, of all the names? I don't look anything like a berry!"

Redpaw tried to imagine Berrynose as a berry. He would be a raspberry, definantely. And he would-

"As if that wasn't bad enough, they named me BerryNOSE! My nose isn't a berry! Why couldn't I be BerryCLAW or BerryFANG?"

"Well, imagine having berries for claws, or berries for fangs," reasoned Redpaw. "You wouldn't win a single fight!"

"Maybe not," sighed Berrynose. Then, he looked at Redpaw. "Maybe we should switch names."

"Don't be ridiculous!" protested Redpaw.

Berrynose purred. "It would only make sense. Besides, your nose DOES look a bit like a berry."

"It does not!" protested Redpaw.

"Well, too bad. I'll take your name and add on a warrior ending. See, now I'm Redfang, and you can be Berrypaw."

"You can't change names!" snarled Redpaw. "You're Berrynose, and that's that!"

Redpaw's friend, Dapplepaw, rushed up to her.

"Hey, Redpaw!" exclaimed Dapplepaw. "I've been collecting berries! Look at these!" Dapplepaw dropped the branch covered in tiny red berries.

"Give me that!" exclaimed Redpaw. She grabbed the berries and tossed them at Berrynose. "Hey, Berrynose, here's some berries!"

"You're talking to the wrong cat, Berrypaw, I'm Redfang!" retorted Berrynose. He looked at the berries Redpaw threw to him and he quickly ate them up.

"Can I ask?" questioned Dapplepaw.

"No!" snapped Redpaw.

Dapplepaw ran off to tell Bramblestar.

15. DO talk to your denmates, because they are funny

"Hey, Redpaw," said Dapplepaw.

"Hey," replied Redpaw.

"Redpaw, I need to tell you something that I haven't told anyone else before, okay?" said Dapplepaw. Redpaw nodded.

"I know what you did," whispered Dapplepaw.

For a second, Redpaw got really scared. Then, she realized that she didn't do anything bad lately. Well, except for pelting Berrynose with berries. But she got punished for that, and it was over. Besides, I've learned from that experience.

"What did I do?" asked Redpaw.

"Oh, Redpaw, it's just a joke!" Dapplepaw purred.

16. DON'T go around repeating what your denmate said

Redpaw trotted up to Lionblaze.

"Hey Lionblaze, I know what you did!"

Lionblaze turned to her. "You do?" he asked in a frightened voice. Then, he realized it was a joke and face-pawed himself. "Redpaw, don't go around saying that," warned Lionblaze. But it was too late.

"I KNOW WHAT YOU DID," exclaimed Redpaw to a confused Jayfeather. Redpaw ran off to tell more cats.

Great StarClan, thought Lionblaze.

17. DO know that restating an insult can be a really funny comeback

Redpaw just got back from hunting. She dropped her mouse on the fresh-kill pile.

Mousewhisker walked up to the fresh-kill pile. "Great StarClan, am I hungry," he said. He looked at Redpaw's mouse. "What's wrong with that mouse? It's ugly."

Redpaw turned to Mousewhisker. "Maybe you're ugly," hissed Redpaw.

Mousewhisker face-pawed as Redpaw gleefully skipped off.

18. DON'T say anything like that to Jayfeather

Jayfeather was carefully making a new poultice for a sick Rosepetal.

"Ugh, sorry Rosepetal," Jayfeather mewed. "But I'm really not liking these leaves. They taste awful."

Redpaw was skipping along when she passed the medicine den and heard this. She gasped and raced over to Jayfeather. She stared at him with a serious look on your face.

"Those leaves don't like YOU," growled Redpaw. Then, she left the den and ran off.

Jayfeather growled. "Remind me to give that cat a deathberry."

Rosepetal gasped. "Jayfeather! You wouldn't! Redpaw... sure, she's a bit... interesting sometimes, but she's only an apprentice!"

Jayfeather murmured something under his breath.


I'm sorry that I haven't updated in awhile! I tried to make it more humorous this time. If I went too far and made it a bit too crazy, please let me know! I hope you enjoyed! ~Silver
