I can't find it in me to not stop thanking my many reviewers. You guys are the best! I'm working on a parody of Into the Wild and Bramblebelly and I are creating our own version of Warriors, so be on the lookout! Ah, well… Enjoy!

Chapter 4

As the first light of dawn spread over the camp, Miranda and Firestar headed towards the Warriors' Den, where they would awaken those going on the dawn patrol and tell them how Miranda had mysteriously transformed into a cat.

As Miranda crept into the den, she saw many cats of all different colors and patterns with her newly acquired night vision. She recognized Graystripe and Cloudtail from the day before, and scores of others slept among them. "But will they accept me?" she wondered.

"Um, Firestar?"

"Yes Miranda, what is it?"

"Who's going on the Dawn Patrol?"

"Me, Cloudtail, Graystripe, Mousefur, Sandstorm and Dustpelt. Would you like to come?"

"Really? But I barely know anything about the clan!"

"I think it would be fitting if you came along. You need to familiarize yourself with the Thunderclan territory. Besides, I think you show promise. Perhaps, in time, you could be a strong warrior."

"Um, thanks."

"If you stay in here while I wake the dawn patrol, they might mistake you for someone from an enemy clan or a rogue, and they might attack you. I think it's best if you wait outside the den while I break the news."

"Sure thing."

Miranda walked outside of the den into the early morning and sat down. But she still wondered how Firestar would tell the dawn patrol, or how the clan would react, so she turned her head toward the den.

She saw Firestar nudging Cloudtail with his nose. He slowly started to stir. She heard him quietly, "Mmm. Sorreltail, didn't I tell you to stop kicking me? I don't care if you keep having that reoccurring dream where you're a rabbit. I-" Cloudtail opened his eyes and saw Firestar standing above him. "Firestar! I'm sorry. I forgot I had dawn patrol today."

"You're actually the first one up, Cloudtail. But you will not believe what happened. You know the Twoleg that chased you last night?"

"Yeah. What? Did she run off to bring the rest of her Twolegs to tear down our forest?"

Cloudtail's words angered Miranda, but anger quickly turned to excitement when she felt her claws unsheathe for the first time.

"No, Cloudtail. Miranda became a cat."

"WHAT!"

Two more cats woke with a start, one of them Graystripe. The other was a small brown cat, who was the first to speak.

"Cloudtail, did you receive a message from Starclan? Like Brambleclaw and Firestar?"

"N-no Mousefur. Firestar just told me that Miranda -became a cat!"

Graystripe fainted. Mousefur just sat there, mouth hanging open. Two cats, one a pale ginger color and the other a brown tabby, wriggled under Graystripe's weight, and both sat up.

The brown tabby spoke, "Graystripe, get off me, you stupid furball! I'm not your stupid Kittypet pillow!

Graystripe sat up. "S-sorry, Dustpelt. I fainted when Cloudtail told me what happened." He said.

"Which was what?" said the pale ginger cat, a female, judging by her voice.

"I think I'll let Firestar tell you that, Sandstorm. But we all have Dawn Patrol, so let's get a move on."

Firestar laughed. "Nice choice of words, Graystripe. It's no wonder you're deputy. Let's go."

All six cats sat up and walked out of the den. Firestar, Cloudtail, Graystripe and Mousefur simply blinked at the sight of Miranda, while Dustpelt and Sandstorm unsheathed their claws.

"Uh, Firestar, Who's this? Does this have something to do with your big news?" Sandstorm said.

Firestar walked over to Miranda and sat down next to her. "Dustpelt, Sandstorm, you remember Miranda from yesterday."

"You're joking!" Said Dustpelt.

"This is unbelievable!" Said Sandstorm. "How in Starclan did this happen?"

Miranda spoke up, and everyone except for Firestar and herself were surprised to hear Miranda's new feline voice. "I don't know, exactly. I had a dream…"

Then, Mousefur said, "In other words, you had a message from Starclan."

"I guess so. This is all really confusing."

"Well, we'll all explain everything on the way." Said Firestar.

"You mean the Twoleg is coming with us?" said Dustpelt.

"Miranda needs to familiarize herself with the territory."

"How long will she be staying with us?"

"In my dream, Spottedleaf said I'd be here until next Newleaf." Said Miranda.

"Spottedleaf actually SPOKE to you? But, you're a Twoleg! And besides, isn't it Newleaf now?"

"Correction, Dustpelt. I was a Twoleg. And Spottedleaf said next Newleaf."

Mousefur spoke up, "Okay, we all have a little explaining to do. Miranda needs to learn the warrior code, and we need to figure out how and why this happened. Miranda, you'll also need a warrior name."

"Cool!" said Miranda.

"In the mean time, let's go! We have a lot more to do than usual." Said Firestar.

The seven cats got up and left the camp.

What will Miranda's warrior name be? Will she adjust to clan life? Will the rest of Thunderclan, and the other clans, accept Miranda? Find out in Chapter 5, coming July 18th! In the mean time, review! And thanks again!
