We're back! Thanks for all the reviews! It makes us feel so loved! Now without further ado I give you the next chapter of If Humans Could Meow!

Last time:

"What are you doing?" A quiet voice inquired. Darkpaw turned to spot Nightpaw in the shadows.

"I can't sleep." She explained. "So I was going down to the lake to go swimming."

"I'll come with." Nightpaw offered. Carefully, the twins snuck out of camp and went down to the lakeshore. Darkpaw plunged in as Nightpaw took a few steps in.

"Darkpaw? Darkpaw?" She called.

"Surprise!" Darkpaw pounced on her unsuspecting sister causing them both to go tumbling into the water. They swam around for awhile before climbing out. Nightpaw shook her fur, trying to get as much water out of her fur as possible.

"Um Darkpaw...which way did we come from?" She asked nervously as she looked at the forest in front of them.

"I don't know."

Now:

"Well that's just great." Nightpaw meowed sarcastically. "Which way do you think we came from?"

"Uhhh...that-a-way!" Darkpaw pointed her tail in a random direction. Nightpaw sighed.

"I hope you're right." She muttered as she led the way. They walked along the lake shore unknowingly crossing into ShadowClan territory.

"It doesn't seem like it was this far away and I distinctly remember not seeing this many pine trees!"Nightpaw whined after what seemed to be half an hour of walking along the side of the lake.

"I sooo agree." Darkpaw panted. She flopped down. "Let's just spend the night here and if we're in another Clan's territory...well the lake should have washed any of ThunderClan's scent off of us so we are just wandering loners.

"Fine with me." Nightpaw agreed as she lay beside her sister. They shut their weary eyes and rested until daylight came.

hour before dawn

Darkpaw awoke to an annoying poknig in her side.

"Five more minutes mom." She groaned.

"Umm...you might want to wake up Dark!" Nightpaw meowed frantically. Darkpaw popped open an eye.

"Why?" She whined.

"Because we're surrounded by unfamiliar cats." Nightpaw answered. At this Darkpaw shot up and collided heads with the ginger tom that was prodding her side with her claw. Darkpaw backed up shaking her head to focus her eyes and mentally groaned when she saw 3 warriors and 2 apprentices looking at them with hostile looks.

"Ummm...hi?" She said nervously as she cautiosuly made her way towards Nightpaw. A tail whipped across her chest to stop her.

"Don't move." A dark ginger she-cat growled. Darkpaw gulped.

"Whatever you say as long as you don't kill us."She muttered.

"What are your names?" The ginger tom questioned with a guarded looks.

"I'm Night and this is Dark. We were just passing through. We weren't aware that this territory was claimed." Nightpaw replied.

"Are you loners or kittypets?" One of the apprentices asked.

"Loners." Darkpaw said at the exact same time Nightpaw said "Kittypets." She winced and changed her answer to "Kittypets" right when Nightpaw chenged her answer to "Loners." They stared at each other and Darkpaw sighed.

"What we mean is that a few moons ago we escaped from a Housefolk place and have been wandering around ever since. Just last night we decided that this isn't the life for us so we were planning on heading home but we just realized we don't know where home is." She explained. Nightpaw looked at her impressed.

'She came up with all that just now? Wow...she's a really good liar.' She thought admiredly.

"You smell faintly of ThunderClan so you should go that way if you're looking for your home." A black tom mewed.

"We'll lead you to our border to make sure you get off our territory and are heading the right way." The dark ginger she-cat decided. Darkpaw and Nightpaw shrugged.

"Sure why not but tell me...how long does it take to get there?" Nightpaw asked glancing at the low moon.

"Not very long since we're running." The dark ginger she-cat decided before breaking off into a sprint. Darkpaw groaned as she reluctantly began to run.

"I hate running." She grumbled once they stopped.

"We leave you here. You're on your own now." The black tom announced. Darkpaw and Nightpaw nodded before stepping onto ThunderClan territory they set off towards the trees. Once out of sight of the ShadowClan cats they broke into yet another run.

"If we hurry we could still get there before dawn." Nightpaw hissed. They followed their noses and came to the place where the scent of cats was strongest. They came in the same way they got out and sighed in relief as they plopped down in their mossy nests.

"We got extremely lucky." Darkpaw whispered. "On any normal day we would have been busted." Nightpaw nodded in agreement.

"Where did you go last night?" The she-cats winced as they turned to find the speaker. To their surprise they didn't find Brackenfur, Stormfur, or Firestar. Instead the found a small gray tom.

"Who're you?" Darkpaw asked.

"Jaypaw. Now where did you go last night? I could hardly sleep through all your racket."

"We went swimming?" Nightpaw admitted. She shivered when Jaypaw turned his gaze onto her. His eyes were blank but still it seemed as if he was looking deep into her soul.

"Swimming? What kind of mousebrains are you?" He demanded though his voice held some sort of amusement. Nightpaw and Darkpaw sighed.

"It's idiots." They mumbled. Jaypaw blinked.

"Father was right. You are weird." He meowed.

"And you're blind aren't you?" Darkpaw retorted. Nightpaw smacked her with a paw.

"You idiot! You don't say stuff like that! Particularly if it's true!" She scolded.

"How 'bout this Jaypaw! You don't tell on us or any of our other future adventures that are bound to happen and we'll...we'll...teach you to fight. I have some tips that might work!" Darkpaw bargained. Jaypaw hesitated.

"One condition. You take me with you sometimes."

"Done!" Nightpaw mewed happily. "Now come on. I want to hunt down Snowplow before training!"Jaypaw purred in amusement.

"You do realize his name's Cloudtail." He pointed out.

"Yeah, so? Snowplow is so much better than Cloudtail." Nightpaw announced. "And Jaypaw don't worry about being blind. Me and Darkpaw are probably worse than blind. I'm pretty sure you haven't run into any trees"

Done. I realize that this is more serious than the other chapters but hey, Jaypaw's gonna be a pretty important character in this story.
