*It's not my fault I haven't updated in a long time, Fairly Odd Parents drew me in and they kept me prisoner. Next time I'll be sure to escape more quickly. Yes, I know I am crazy. BTW, Linzerj, I think you should go with Sparks (boy) and Wing (girl) as your next Fairly Odd characters. Anyway, hope you enjoy this chapter. The chapters should be coming sooner nowadays.

Chapter 9

After the clan meeting, Firestar called Spottednose over to his den.

"I shouldn't ask how you're liking Thunderclan so far," Firestar said. "Because you've only been here for a few minutes. Meet any new cats you like?"

Spottednose paused for a moment. "Graystripe seems nice."

"Graystripe is my best friend. He's a real friendly cat." Firestar looked at intently at her. "You look a lot like . . ." There was a long pause. "Hmm. Never mind."

"Wait," Spottednose said. "A lot like who?"

"You wouldn't . . .happen to know . . ."

"Know who?"

"I was going to say," Firestar, yet again, stopped. "You look an awful lot like . . .Tigerstar."

"Tigerstar?" Spottednose questioned.

"He had an alliance with Bloodclan, but you don't need to know anything about that. But before Bloodclan, he was living in Thunderclan, and I guess you could say he was my rival, sort of."

"Interesting. On my way here, Bramblenose said I looked a lot like Brambleclaw."

"No doubt about that. Brambleclaw is Tigerstar's son. But he's nothing like Tigerstar. He's a real trust-worthy cat."

"He looked like it."

"The sun's going down." Firestar said as he glanced out of his den. "You should gather some moss up to make your den."

"Alright, goodnight, Firestar."

As Spottednose walked out of the den, Firestar stopped her. "Oh, and while your getting moss, grab some for the elders. There have been some complaints about the moss in there being to dry."


Night had fallen upon the forest.

With the moss dangling in her jaws Spottednose padded to the Warriors den, but she stopped when she saw Bramblenose sprinting towards her.

"Hey, Bramblenose."

"Hi, Spottedpaw – I mean Spottednose."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going with Leafpool. She wants to gather more herbs and share tongues with Starclan at the Moonpool. Can you survive your first night in the Warriors den without me?"

"I think I'll be just fine."

"Good, and don't worry. If some Thunderclan warriors decide to kill in your sleep, I'll be sure to sit vigil for you."

Spottednose purred with amusement. "Ha ha. Very funny, Bramblenose."

Bramblenose also began to purr. Before heading to the medicine cat den to get Leafpool, he nudged Spottednose on her head with his and licked her shoulder as he brushed pass. Spottednose watched Bramblenose and Leafpool bound away.

"Ooh, Spottednose has a mate." A voice teased. Spottednose jerked her head around her to see Squirrelflight sitting there.

"Me and Bramblenose are friends, Squirrelflight," Spottednose corrected. "Not mates."

"Yeah, but you want to be mates."

"I'm happy with just being friends." Spottednose meowed once again as she walked into the Warriors den.

"If you say so." Squirrelflight followed.
