"What is that?" Tanglepaw meowed, giving the pile of brown stuff a dark look. "It looks like dirt."
"It's the best thing in the world," Wildpaw argued, taking all nine cats in with one glance. "Chocolate."
"Chocolate?" Honeypaw asked.
"Chocolate," Wildpaw repeated confidently.
Tanglepaw looked at the chocolate in disgust. "Is it really meant for cats?"
"It's meant for anything," Wildpaw assured. "Mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, amphibians. Anything."
"If you...say so..." Dustpaw meowed, and bent down and licked some of it up. Tanglepaw was expecting for him to spew it everywhere screaming "EW!" But instead, his face split into one of wonder.
"It's...the best thing I've ever tasted!" he yowled in awe.
Lilypaw tried some too, and came up with her face coated in chocolate. "It is!" she agreed.
Every cat settled down to try some, except Tanglepaw.
"Seriously?" he growled. "You're trying this...dirt?"
"It's not dirt," Wildpaw meowed, her mouth full. "It's the best thing anyone's ever invented."
Scowling, Tanglepaw tried some. It tasted amazing, but he didn't want to say so.
"It's horrible!" he spat, spewing chocolate everywhere.
"Chill," Wildpaw meowed. "Just let the chocolate warm your soul, 'kay, man?"
Still scowling, Tanglepaw ate more.
Finally, they all had their fill, and laid back on their backs.
"Why don't the Clans catch chocolate more often?" Lilypaw murmured.
"You don't catch chocolate," Tanglepaw hissed. "I've never seen it before in the wild."
"Just because you've never seen it doesn't mean it's not out there," Lilypaw argued.
Honeypaw looked at Wildpaw. "Does this have any sort of side effects?" she asked.
Wildpaw's eyes were blank. "Well, they've got sugar in them."
"What's sugar?" Honeypaw asked.
"Sugar. Well, I guess it makes you feel very..."
Wildpaw paused. Suddenly, she sprang to her feet and started racing around, weaving through bracken and leaping up trees at breakneck speed.
"HYPER!" she screeched. "WHEEEEE!"
Tanglepaw sat up in alarm. He watched each cat suddenly leap up and go into a hyper-frenzy like Wildpaw. Tanglepaw felt energy begin to course through his limbs. He jerked to his feet and stiffly walked to a large pond a little ways away that they had found, drinking slowly and calmly.
Wildpaw shot out of the trees and lunged over Tanglepaw. He watched in amazement as Wildpaw made a big arc and landed with a huge splash in the water.
"Ha ha!" she squealed as Tanglepaw got drenched. She began diving and swimming through the water even better than a RiverClan cat.
Tanglepaw groaned and shook off the water. "Weirdo," he muttered. He began to feel calmer, so he went back to their clearing.
Every cat was gone except Dustpaw, who was still bouncing off the trees.
"Stop, Dustpaw!" he called irritably. "You're a cat, not a fish out of water."
Dustpaw suddenly collapsed. "Where'd all the energy go?" he moaned.
Tanglepaw listened, and, sure enough, he heard all the other cats dropping to the ground and moaning with tiredness.
Wildpaw came staggering through the trees and flopped down. "That was some party," she breathed.
"Well, will you never eat chocolate again?" Tanglepaw meowed, his whiskers twitching with pride and amusement.
"Nah," Wildpaw meowed. "It wasn't eating the chocolate. I just ate too much."
