Chapter 10:

TIME to go…

Suddenly Kitty appeared followed out of nowhere by Stonepelt, Talltail, Aurorapaw, and Plasmapaw, "What's going on?!" She meowed loudly enough to be heard by everyone. Coldstar padded up to Kitty after they kindly introduced themselves Coldstar began to explain to her what had just happened.

"YOU WHAT?" She mewed angrily to Coldstar, "NO ONE, AND I MEAN NO ONE, IS ALLOWED TO QUESTION MY ASSISTANT AND YELL AT HER BUT ME!" She hissed. "Stop!" Everything froze completely around her, except for Assistant and herself. She had stopped time to talk to her assistant. "Why did you come here? Who's going to let us back through the portal to go back home?" She meowed slowly taking a few deep breaths and letting them out slowly in vain attempt to calm herself back to her reasonable self.

"I'm here just like you are, to lead these cats," Assistant mewed between sobs, "I left the portal door on automatic, and he… he started…YELLING AT ME!" Assistant pointed at Coldstar and finished with tears rolling uncontrollably down her face.

"I'll talk to them, just take a few breaths and try to keep calm," Kitty mewed comfortingly.

"They… they know my name!" She complained with fear in her eyes and creeping into her voice, "And I didn't tell it to them!" She sniffled as her sobbing slowed and eventually came to a stop with only hiccups coming as she mellowed out.

"I'll make sure that they don't call you fluffy as long as you promise not to tell them my… cat name either." Kitty compromised.

"Yea!" Assistant laughed, "No one would want to be called Snoocums! It's worse than wet cat litter on a cold July day when the milk well's gone dry."

"Riiiight." Kitty agreed cautiously, "Perhaps now we should go back and settle things."

"Okey-dokey Snoocums, lets go!" Assistant mewed cheerfully.

"Did you not understand what I've only just said? Or did it go through one ear and out your pig snout going through that empty space between your ears that appear to have taken the place of your brain? Now, I ask that you show me some proof that you actually aren't the mousebrained dummy to act like you are! No offence." Kitty meowed, glaring death promises in Fluffy's general direction before hissing at time, "Start!" And everyone and thing unfroze and began to move. The seven Lightning Clan cats looked around confused by the fact that Kitty was now standing next to Assistant when only a second ago she had been inches away from Coldstar, especially since there was such a large distance between the two cats. All of them decided it was irrelevant and decided to put it out of their minds.

"Well then," Coldstar mewed. "If no one objects, lets go to the Sushi Cabana before we all starve." He looked at Creamcloud, Stormpelt, and Assistant. "Are we still going, or did someone decide to do something else?" He meowed.

"Yes, lets go Coldstar," meowed Creamcloud, Stormpelt gave a nod of agreement.

"Kitty, I'll go with Stonepelt, Talltail, Aurorapaw, and Plasmapaw. You can go with Coldstar, Stormpelt, and Creamcloud. Please?" Assistant gave Kitty her innocent, cute, kitten-like wide eyes look of pleading as she mewed her request.

"Alright," Kitty meowed, " I have been with those four all afternoon so far."

The group all nodded their farewells and split up into the groups they had been in before, only now with Kitty joining Coldstar, and Assistant with Stonepelt…

Kitty led Coldstar, Creamcloud, and Stormpelt into the Sushi Cabana. The four walked up to the small desk for a table to seat their group.

"Sorry sir," he said in a snobby English accent to Coldstar, "we only have our left-overs from Asia."

"And what would that include?" Coldstar asked.

"Fried cat," the waiter broke out into a coughing fit, "…fish." He finished and looked down to where the group was standing, but now there was no one there, "I guess that they don't like fried cat fish," He sighed with a shrug.
