Owly

Mr. Webb arrived at Silverpelt's house in a few minutes. After all, he only lived a block away. He went into Silverpelt's house, said hello, and explained why he was there. He escorted himself to the backyard, and looked for the path. He couldn't find it. Slightly annoyed, he called Mouseclaw.

"Hello? Hello? This is Mr. Webb. Alden's father. Where is the path you were speaking of?"

Mouseclaw, for it was she who had answered, said,

"Hold on a minute, Mr. Webb. I don't know where it is, but Le- Oh, sorry, Shay does. I'll put her on."

There was slight static and a happy voice erupted in Mr Webb's ear.

"Hello? Mr Webb? Oh, hi, I forgot to mention! The trail begins a few yards into the forest! Ok, do you see the green stump? Just after that, there's a worn trail that marks the way."

She covered the mouthpiece.

"Hey, Silverpelt." she hissed, "Is there a green stump behind your house?"

Silverpelt grinned and shook her head.

"Shay, what do you mean by 'green stump' There are no stumps!"

"Are you sure? I swear I saw one."

Leafpaw grinned. Boy, she felt evil. It was all she could to stop from giving a great MWAHAHAHAHA!

"Well, I don't see one."

The medicine cat feigned surprise.

"Are you sure? It's right there, next to the great big thingymajigee."

"The who what?"

"The...er, I think they're called Thingymajigees. Let me ask."

In a loud voice, she called.

"Hey, Austin? What's that great big thing in your backyard named? I thought it was a thingymajigee!"

Silverpelt called back, "What? Thingymajigee? No, no, no! It's called a Whoowhatey."

Laughter.

Mr. Webb, by now, was pretty upset. He was sure his leg was being pulled.

"LET ME TALK TO MY SON!" he roared into the phone.

There was fumbling on the other side.

"Hey, dad." came the cool voice of his son.

"ALDEN YOU LISTEN TO ME! I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, BUT IT'S NOT FUNNY! COME HERE, NOW!"

"Wow, dad, chill." Alden said, face contorted with barely restrained laughter. "I can't. They won't let me up. You have to come here."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 'WON'T LET ME UP?'" his father yelled.

"I mean, they're all piled on me. It's actually getting hard to breath. I guess they don't want me to go."

His father sighed. Why were children always so juvenile?

Of course, no such thing was really happening. They were all sitting quietly on the ground, listening to Whiteclaw's dad yell and froth at the mouth. It was quite funny.

"FINE, BUT SOMEONE BETTER GET OFF SO THEY CAN TAKE ME THERE!"

"No can do, Dad. But here, I'll give you real directions."

Thinking quickly, Whiteclaw remembered something Tigerstripe had found while on patrol. He had found a quiet brook that had lead to the medicine den. It trickled down the wall, and formed a shallow pool that was crystal clear and cold. Even good for drinnking. But, if you followed it upstream, it lead to a lake that wasn't far from the mountains. That way, they got the water from the thaw every year. It was really pretty, and icy cold. A perfect pranking place.

He swiftly gave directions as he remembered them to the stream. He could hear his father stomping through underbrush and muttering curses under his breath. Boy, was it easy to annoy grown ups.

Ten or so minutes later, his dad reached the stream.

"Ok , I don't see anything. Now what?"

Whiteclaw smirked. He sorta felt bad about this, but it was totally necessary.

"ok, follow it upstream."

Five minutes later, his Dad reached the lake.

"Ok, Alden, I still don't see you. IS THIS ANOTHER PRANK?!"

"No, You'll see us in about-"

BLAM! Something connected with Mr. Webb's knees. Needless to say, they buckled. He went sprawling into the lake. The water was icy cold, and Mr. Webb, like the cats he was descended from, hated water. Especially cold water.

"AAAAAAAARGH!"

His cell phone short circuited. His teeth chattered. Even Mr. Webb's eyes went a slightly crossed from the shock.

"ALDEN!"

And suddenly he changed. He turned into a sleek white and grey tabby, with broad shoulders and large ears. He didn't know what had happened for a moment, and clambered out of the pond.

"GRAAARH!" he screeched, then stopped, with a confused expression on his face.

"mrow?" he tried again, tentatively. He looked down at his feet, and saw, to his astonishment and horror, paws.

And then, he fainted.

And, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Please tell all, by pressing the little blueish button down there. Really, happiness for me is just a click away! LOL!!
