"Get up, you lazy apprentices!" one of the warriors said jokingly. Violetpaw woke up very slowly, not wanting to get up. He nudged Gingerpaw in the side and said, "I know we didn't get any sleep until after the vigil, but we have to get up now," He said lazily. Eventually Gingerpaw joined him outside and they headed out for training.

"I don't think I'll be able to train for a while," Violetpaw complained. "Everything hurts."

"Koki- I mean, Violetpaw, all you did was do the hunter's crouch a bunch of times," Gingerpaw said.

"That could've been a lie, but I am legitimately tired," Violetpaw complained once more. "Hey, let's go see if that cat is still there!" He perked up all of a sudden.

"Okay, Violetpaw," Gingerpaw said. They both sprinted to the border again, and sure enough, the cat was there. "You really think that's him?"

"Just look at him! He's curious about everything, he's trying to fly, he has glowing blue eyes, along with a cat ahoge… Who else could it be?!" Violetpaw said.

"It could be just a strange-looking cat…" Gingerpaw replied back.

"And what are the chances of that, huh?" Violetpaw pestered him. It seemed as they had gotten too loud, as the cat had gotten curious and approached them.

"Who are you?" the cat asked them, still new to the system of "government" the forest cats lived by.

"We're just Gemclan cats, watching the border like usual," Violetpaw lied.

"Ah, I see. My name is K- I mean, Lightningpaw. It is a pleasure to meet you." The cat named Lightningpaw bowed.

"Hey, when were you apprenticed?" Gingerpaw asked Lightningpaw.

"Oh, just yesterday, of course," Lightningpaw said. "I'm fairly new here… Hey, you kind of remind me of someone I know…" Lightningpaw stared at Violetpaw. "Do I know you?"

"What do you mean?" Violetpaw asked nonchalantly. "There's plenty of black cats in the forest, you know."

"I know, but… No black cat I have ever met has had a purple tinge to their fur…" Violetpaw slightly tensed up at this. Was he caught?

"Well… What was the name of this cat that you knew, huh?" Violetpaw asked cautiously.

"Well, he was a person, but… He was a pretty big liar. He would also tease me a lot," Lightningpaw said. "And he also had purple hair…"

"I don't think I have ever heard of such a… twoleg…?" Violetpaw struggled with the cat language for "human".

Gingerpaw stiffened up at this description of Kokichi, but chose to be silent instead.

"You both seem tense," Lightningpaw said. Violetpaw let a small laugh out, which he shouldn't have done.

"I know that laugh anywhere! Kokichi, are you lying again?" Lightningpaw questioned Violetpaw.

"Aw, you got me! Yep! I'm Kokichi Oma!" Violetpaw said with relief. "And this cat here is… Shuichi Saihara!"

"…Kokichi, are you sure? I don't see any resemblance," Lightningpaw said, staring at Gingerpaw. This made Gingerpaw fluff up and want to curl up into a ball.

Violetpaw put his paw on Gingerpaw's Cat-ahoge and said, "Who else would it be?"

"Oh! I see now!" Lightningpaw said. "Just in case it wasn't clear, I am Kiibo," He said.

"It was really clear," Violetpaw said. "I guess you're an actual, full-fleshed cat in this world!"

"…I guess I am," Lightningpaw said. "But I-"

"A patrol is coming," Gingerpaw pointed out. "Scram!" he said just before a loud boom filled the air.

"Fireworks! I haven't seen this in a while," Violetpaw said excitedly.

"Hey! Get inside the cave at once!" Swiftfeather yowled at them.

"Alright!" They both agreed.

"Are the twolegs attacking again?!"

"I don't see why they would make their attacks so… colorful!"

"Do you two kittypets know about those explosions?!"

A loud crowd of cats were gathered in the cave of the medicine den and the elders' den. "We will need to sleep here in case the twolegs attacks happen overnight," Brackenstar said. "We will need to make some room,"

"H-hi…" an apprentice had walked up to Violetpaw and Gingerpaw.

"Oh, hello there!" Violetpaw said. "What do you need?"

"Um… I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Oakpaw."

"Oakpaw, what a nice name…" Gingerpaw complimented her.

"Thanks. You guys are… Violetpaw and Oakpaw, right?"

"Right," They both said.

"Alright, um… I wanted to ask, did you come from a separate world like I did?" Oakpaw asked them.

"Well… In those terms, technically, yes," Violetpaw answered. "It's nothing like this world."

"Same here! The universe I live in is completely different!" Oakpaw said cheerfully.

"I don't think I recognize you from our universe, though," Violetpaw pointed out.

"Yes, same here… I'm just hoping me and my buddies get out soon," Oakpaw said hopefully.

"I, for one, think this world is much better than the world we lived in," Gingerpaw said.

"In what way?" Oakpaw asked.

"Oh, just being locked in a school and being forced to kill each other is all," Violetpaw said with heavy sarcasm.

"But it's all good, because no one got killed yet when we were sent here," Gingerpaw said happily. "If anything, our friends would want to live in peace in this world."

"Well, I have to go back to my friends now. I'll see you guys around, I guess?" Oakpaw asked.

"Yep! Definitely!" Violetpaw said.
