"When do you think I should tell them?"

Swiftstar was in Jayfeather's den after the battle with ShadowClan. He wondered if he should tell ThunderClan about Hollyleaf, Jayfeather, and Fawnleaf's true parentage.

"I don't think it matters," Jayfeather meowed. "You can tell them now, or tomorrow, or in a moon. Whenever you think the time is best."

"Okay, I'll tell them now." Swiftstar got up and padded out into the clearing.

"Cats of ThunderClan!" he yowled. The cats began filing into their positions.

"I have a bit of information to tell you," Swiftstar began, "Hollyleaf, Jayfeather, and Fawnleaf are not the kits of Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw." He heard many cats whisper startledly.

"Their parents are Crowfeather and Leafpool."

"What?" came the question from Sorreltail; it wasn't anger, just surprise.

"I know it's hard to believe, but both Crowfeather and Leafpool have told me. And if any of you think we will drive out my mate or her siblings because of their parentage," Swiftstar hissed, "then you're wrong!" With that, he turned and stalked back into his den.

From outside he could hear cats meowing. Then he heard Longtail meow:

"So what if those cats are their parents? They're more loyal than Ashfur and Tigerstar, both of whom were full ThunderClan." Many cats began to murmur their agreement.

"How are you, Hollyleaf?" Swiftstar meowed.

"Fine, thanks. Our kits are growing up fine. Emberkit already has Sorreltail's energy. And Emeraldkit is just like Brackenfur," Hollyleaf replied.

"Daddy!" the kits shrieked. They tackled Swiftstar and began batting his back with sheathed claws.

"Oh, no! ShadowClan attack! I'll have to show them no mercy!" Swiftstar yowled. He was laughing along with the kits.

"Intruder alert!" Sandstorm yowled. Swiftstar got up and walked into the clearing.

A ragged-looking silver tabby tom was standing at the front of a group of cats.

"Stripes!" Squirrelflight snarled.

"What are you doing here?"

Sorry guys, this is the end. I'm going to work on a parody for a while, and then I'll make a sequel to this. So stay tuned…
