Merry Christmas, y'all! Or Hanukkah. Or Kwanzaa. Whatever you celebrate.
Booklady1017 – Thanks for your appreciation!
Wings Ablazed – Thank you! And yes, I am planning to bring in Firestar in a later episode. (Wonder how he and Spottedleaf will get along.)
Blazerkitty129 – I know, right? Crookedstar should definitely get a pay raise. And I miss the cardboard box too.
Can we all just take a moment to remember the cardboard box that was in the WMB facility?
In Loving Memory of the Cardboard Box
Spottedleaf rushed forward to pull Deadfoot off of the cardboard. "We'll get new seats as soon as possible," she promised the old cat. "In the meantime, why don't you sit on the couch?"
She grabbed Yellowfang and pushed her off of the bright red sofa. "HEY!" Yellowfang screeched.
"Crookedstar, put her in the closet," Spottedleaf sighed.
The brown tom launched himself on top of Yellowfang and stuffed her into the nearest closet, which just happened to be holding Spottedleaf's thousand-dollar coats and jackets.
Spottedleaf was horrified. "NO!" she yowled. "THAT'S WHERE MY $12000 PINK CASHMERE SWEATER IS! DON'T LET HER TOUCH IT!"
"It's just a sweater," Crookedstar grumbled, put he yanked Yellowfang out and threw her into the next closet, which held the vacuum cleaner and an assortment of brooms.
A thud could be heard on the closet door. "LET ME OUT!" Yellowfang's muffled voice drifted from the closet. "I KNOW CROOKEDSTAR FARTED IN HERE BEFORE!"
"Here you go, Deadfoot," Spottedleaf mewed, ignoring Yellowfang.
The skinny black tom grouchily padded over to the sofa and sat down, squishing the cushion underneath. He suddenly jumped up and spat, "HOW COME THERE'S POTATO CHIP CRUMBS ON THE SOFA?"
"Oh, that was Yellowfang's," Spottedleaf reassured him dismissively, reaching over to brush the crumbs out from underneath Deadfoot's butt.
Deadfoot jumped back. "YELLOWFANG'S?" he yelped in shock. "THAT'S THE LAST STRAW!"
He ran into the kitchen, turned the tap on, and started washing his butt. "I'M NOT SITTING ON A SOFA WITH THUNDERCLAN SPIT ON IT!" he yowled.
Spottedleaf rolled her amber eyes. "It's just crumbs!" she called out.
