Honeyfern's POV

"One more minute!" I call when my counselors tell us to hurry up. I just have to finish my makeup. Once I'm done, I spray myself with perfume and follow my sister Poppyfrost out the door.

"What if today isn't the first dance?" whispers Poppyfrost.

I shrug. "It will be. If it isn't, well… never mind, I'm positive that it's the first dance."

I can't wait! It's going to be great. Berrynose will probably ask me to dance, and everyone will be having so much fun…

We leave our cabin and follow Squirrelflight and Sorreltail through the woods. They lead us into a clearing in the woods, where it's been decorated amazingly. There's a little archway up ahead, covered in flowers and little candles. There are candles up high in the surrounding trees, and streamers reaching all around the clearing. It's beautiful.

Unfortunately, they're not playing any music or anything. So it's not the first dance, I think to myself gloomily. Oh, well, I'm sure we'll have a ton of fun anyway.

I see a group of WindCabin kids sitting on the ground, so I also sit down, with the rest of my cabin following. Eventually, the ThunderCabin boys arrive, followed by the ShadowCabin kids and then the RiverCabin kids.

"Hey, Honeyfern," says Berrynose, walking over and sitting next to me. "You look beautiful."

I blush. "Thanks, you look handsome." Berrynose is wearing just a normal polo shirt and shorts, but he still looks amazing.

"Thanks," replies Berrynose.

"Camp Warriors!" calls a voice, and I look up to see that it's Graystripe. "I know that you're all very excited for Firestar's birthday party! We already have the cake."

I look over to see the largest, prettiest cake I've ever seen. It's tall and… mmm, chocolate!

"Anyways," continues Graystripe. "We've sent out some of the counselors to go and get him. But Firestar doesn't know about this, so we have to surprise him. Everyone, hide behind nearby trees or bushes, and when I yell, '3, 2, 1!' you jump out and exclaim, 'surprise!' Okay?"

Everyone nods. Graystripe signals for us to hide, so I run to the nearest tree and go behind it. Berrynose follows me there.

I peer out from behind the tree. I see a few counselors walking in with Firestar. Graystripe suddenly yells, "3, 2, 1!"

Everyone jumps out and exclaims, "Surprise!"

Firestar stands there with a shocked expression on his face. Graystripe rushes to hug him. Then, the campers all return to the clearing.

"Happy birthday, Firestar!" yells Graystripe. "Let's sing to him!"

The campers break out into singing "happy birthday", and at the end, Firestar blows out his candles. Everyone applauds.

"You know what I think we should do next?" exclaims Firestar.

"Eat cake!" yells Graystripe. Everyone cheers. Firestar calls for silence.

"Yes, Graystripe," he says. "We will have cake, but before that, let's dance!"

That's when the music begins.

Ivypool's POV

So it is the first dance. Well, I guess I was wrong. But I still feel perfectly fine in a hoodie and jean shorts.

Immediately, as if on cue, all the ThunderCabin kids get together and we form one giant circle. It's not a slow song, just a fun, lively, fast song. I clap along.

I can barely hear the music, but I can tell when the chorus is coming. Once it starts, everyone starts jumping up and down like crazy. This is pretty fun.

"Guys, I call doing the rapping part," yells Berrynose over the crowd of people.

"Same here!" exclaims Mousewhisker. But once the rapping part starts, I realize I know it too.

Berrynose and Mousewhisker run to the middle of the circle and start rapping it. I can tell that they stumble over a few words, so I join them.

"Yeah, Ivypool!" Blossomfall cheers me on. I smile. This is great.

Then, the song ends. I realize how thirsty I am, so once the next song starts, another fast song, I go over and get a drink of water. Then, I return to the circle of ThunderCabin kids. It's funny, you know, how each Cabin group has kind of made their own circle. But it's time for me to change that.

I go over to where the WindCabin kids are dancing, and I step into their circle, right next to Breezepelt. Nobody seems to mind me, though. Either that, or they don't notice me.

All of a sudden, Breezepelt leaves, and I see him go over to Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight, who are working at the DJ booth. Ashfur stands from a distance, glaring at them as he slowly eats cake. Cake!

Breezepelt comes back, and yells over the crowd, "I requested a song."

"Cool," I reply. "Want to get some cake?"

Breezepelt nods, and we walk together to the giant chocolate cake. It looks delicious! Graystripe is handing out pieces to other campers. He gives Breezepelt a piece, then he gives one to me and says, "Happy birthday!"

I laugh, and go to sit down on a bench. Breezepelt sits next to me. We both dig into the amazing cake. How does Camp Warriors make their desserts taste so good?

Another song comes on, and Breezepelt grabs my arm and drags me over, back to the "dance floor". I see Heathertail dancing near Lionblaze, who doesn't look too happy. But back with the other ThunderCabin kids, they look like they're having the time of their lives.

Finally, after a few more fun songs, a slow song comes on. Breezepelt looks at me and holds out his arm. "May I have this dance?" he asks. I blush.

"Of course," I reply. I put my hands on his shoulders as he sets his hands on my waist, and we happily dance, staring into each other's eyes.

Foxleap's POV

Once the slow song comes on, I don't know who to ask. I look around. Hazeltail and Rosepetal have each been asked by some ShadowCabin boys, so then I look around and notice Berrynose rushing over to ask Poppyfrost, who looks as happy as a… well, as happy as a happy Poppyfrost. Her sister, Honeyfern, stands off to the side as unhappy as an unhappy Honeyfern. I approach her.

"Would you like to dance?" I ask. It's not like I like Honeyfern, but you know, she seems nice, and she smiles and nods, blinking back tears. I grab her arm.

"Honeyfern, we're going to be unique and waltz," I decide. Honeyfern giggles, and I put one arm around her waist and I grab her hand with the other. We waltz around as some confused couples turn and look at us. But I don't care. Honeyfern's happy and I'm happy. Everyone else can be as confused as they want.

"Trying to be different, eh, Foxleap?" says Toadstep as he dances by with my sister, Icecloud. "Come on, Icecloud, let's show your brother and Honeyfern that we can waltz too!"

Icecloud giggles as Toadstep starts to waltz with her, and I narrow my eyes. "Oh yeah? Is that a challenge?" I say. "Come on, Honeyfern!"

Honeyfern smiles. I can tell she's happy when Berrynose looks over and smiles at her. I wave to him and Poppyfrost, and then continue waltzing with Honeyfern.

"Don't be so annoying!" calls some WindCabin dude as he dances with a WindCabin girl. I smile.

"Me, annoying?" I say.

"He's the calmest person I know!" adds Honeyfern, smiling. The WindCabin boy rolls his eyes. Wow, what's with WindCabin guys lately? Oh well.

We continue to waltz around, ignoring as others stare at us. We only smile at them, and Honeyfern actually begins to look happy.

And finally, the slow song ends. Another fast song comes on, and I hug Honeyfern.

"Thank you," I say.

"No, thank you Foxleap," she replies. "You're a lot of fun." Then, she skips off to Poppyfrost.

The ThunderCabin kids once again form our own little dancing circle. All of a sudden, I pull out my phone and yell, "SELFIE!"

I bend down and hold up my phone in the air as the other ThunderCabin campers quickly fill into the picture. I snap a picture, and then quickly put away my phone and continue dancing.

Hm… it's too boring, I think to myself. How can I make it more fun?

"CONGA LINE!" I exclaim. Immediately, some kids join me and before you know it, I'm leading a line of about 40 kids around the dance area.

I'm pretty sure we conga-lined through the next few songs. I've never had so much fun in my life before.

Lionblaze's POV

The next slow song starts playing.

"Oh, Lionblaze!" exclaims Heathertail. "Are you ready to dance again?"

Suddenly, before I get the chance to say anything, some kid swoops in like an eagle. "May I have this dance, Heathertail?"

"Oh, um, Harespring, I'd love to, but…"

"I love you too," says Harespring, grabbing Heathertail and dancing away. Thank you, Harespring, whoever you are, I think to myself. But now I need someone to dance with. I look around. Mousewhisker just asked Cinderheart, so I can't ask her, unfortunately. I look around for anyone else. Then, I see her. I think her name is Icecloud. She's pretty, and I've never gotten the chance to really get to know her. Sure, she's no Cinderheart, but I'll ask her.

I walk over to Icecloud, who's standing off to the side, watching the others dance. When she sees me approach, she smiles. "Oh, hi, Lionblaze," she says.

"Would you like to dance?" I ask. Icecloud lights up immediately.

"Yes!" she squeals. "Um… I mean, sure!"

It looks like I made her happy, which is enough to bring a smile to my face. I put my arms around her waist, and she puts her hands on my shoulders. We slowly dance around, swaying to the side. Icecloud looks ecstatic. I decide to strike up a conversation.

"So… you're Icecloud, Foxleap's sister?" I ask.

Icecloud nods. "And you're Hollyleaf's brother, right?"

I nod. "That's right. So… Camp Warriors is going by really quickly."

"I know!" she exclaims. "It's already the first dance. That's already about halfway through the camp."

"Will you come back next year?" I ask.

"Oh, I really hope so," replies Icecloud. "It's my favorite camp ever. I mean, my brother Foxleap and I have been camping here since we were really little, and it's like a second home to me."

I nod. "Cool. My family has only started going about a few years ago."

We continue talking, and I have to admit, Icecloud is really nice and kind of pretty. But Cinderheart has still stolen my heart.

Once the song ends, I say, "Thank you, Icecloud."

She looks up at me with sparkling blue eyes. "Thank you," she breathes.

I give her a quick hug. When I draw back, Icecloud's face is filled with pure happiness. She stands still for a moment, but then whispers, "thank you" one last time, and runs off. I smile and wave good-bye.

I mean, if I couldn't have Cinderheart, I'd choose Icecloud.

But not Heathertail.


I'm still a LionXCinder fan, but I've always felt bad for poor Icecloud. And there isn't anything really going on between Foxleap and Honeyfern, that's just kind of showing how everyone at camp are just really close friends. I hope you enjoyed!
