Dawn: I'm trying to update all my stories at once right now, and it's hard! So don't kill me for not updating!

Dusk: Schoolwork has been horrible lately. The good news is that we have two new pals to announce our stories with us other than Hollyleaf and Burt: Please welcome Zakuro and Kish!

Kish: Hi.

Zakuro: Whatever.

Dawn: Don't give me that, Zakuro! After all, I'm being you for Halloween!

Zakuro: Goody goody.

Kish: Can we get with the story already? I'm so bored, and this planet's so hot. Stupid humans.

Zakuro: Are you kidding? I can totally take you.

Kish: Well, we were here first.

Zakuro: Mew Zakuro, METAMORPHO-SIS! *turns into Mew Zakuro* Ribbon Zakuro Pure!

Kish: *teleports away*

Dawn: Look on my profile to see what that was about if you didn't get it. Oh yeah, and I forgot something really important, and I will do this once and only once.

DISCLAIMER: However much my stories sound like Erin Hunter (lol) I am not and never will be her. I am my own self and one day I will be just as great as her, but currently I am not, so you'll have to wait.

Dawn: Here's the story, and sorry for the long Author's Note.

Hollykit was in the nursery, playing with a ball of moss. Suddenly, there was a voice from outside the nursery.

"Don't push!"

"Gingerkit, shut up! She'll hear us!"

"Will you guys stop bickering?"

"Go away, Gingerkit! We don't want you here!"

"Why are you so mean, Honeykit! Bluekit and I were here first!"

"Who's there?" Hollykit called out softly.

"See? I told you she'd hear us," a voice snapped. "Let's go say hi." Just then, out of nowhere, three kits tumbled into the nursery.

"Hi, I'm Honeykit, and this is Bluekit and Gingerkit," the first, a large golden she-cat meowed.

"Why were you spying on me?" Hollykit asked. The three kits exchanged glances.

"We were spying on you because Bluekit here thinks you're cute," Gingerkit, a ginger tabby she-cat, replied.

"Were not!" Bluekit, a blue-gray tom, protested.

"Yeah, that's why you came to me in the first place!" Honeykit snapped. "You told me you didn't want her to find you alone, and that's why you wanted company!"

"And I overheard, and came to join!" Gingerkit piped in.

"Stupid she-cats," Bluekit grumbled. He stalked out of the nursery.

"Sorry about our brother," Gingerkit apologized. "He's a grumpy furball."

"He's kinda cute," Hollykit purred.

"Get outta the forest!" Honeykit gasped. "You like him too?"

"I only said--" Hollykit protested defensively, but the two she-cats were staring at her with gaping mouths. "Oh, never mind."

Dovepaw watched her sister go away with anger. Her, part of a prophecy? And what was that all about with Hollykit? She decided to take action right away.

XxXxXxXxXxX

Ivypaw saw Hollykit talking with two other kits, Honeykit and Gingerkit. Suddenly the two she-cats froze, and Hollykit looked confused.

"Hey, guys, what's up?" Ivypaw asked the three kits.

"Hollykit has a crush on Bluekit!" Honeykit exclaimed.

"Untrue!" Hollykit protested.

"You said he was cute," Gingerkit smirked.

"Cute, yes, but that doesn't mean he's nice!" Hollykit snapped.

"Whatever," Honeykit meowed. "Hey, let's all be best friends!"

"Okay," Hollykit agreed. "And we can all be warriors together when I become the greatest warrior in the forest!"

"No, I'm the greatest warrior in the forest!" Honeykit protested.

"No me!" Gingerkit squealed.

"You're a loser!" Honeykit meowed, pouncing on top of her sister. The three kits wrestled for a while, so Ivypaw decided to find Bumbleclaw.

"Bye, guys," she called. She found Bumbleclaw eating a mouse near the warrior's den.

"Hey, there," she meowed.

"Hi, Ivypaw," Bumbleclaw replied. "Want to share?"

"Sure," Ivypaw meowed happily. She took a bite.

"So how's life for you, Ivypaw?" Bumbleclaw said casually.

"Great. I just found out that Lionblaze and Jayfeather were rude to Hollykit, so I totally took them down," she laughed.

"Good one," he grinned.

"I know, right?"

"So, you want to go hunting with me?"

"Ooo, yes!" Ivypaw meowed eagerly. "Let's go!" They finished the mouse, then left the camp.

"Kind of quiet, huh?" Bumbleclaw remarked. "Almost unnatural. The birds are not chirping like normal."

"That's weird," Ivypaw replied. She felt like something was watching her. As they neared the Sky Oak, a weird growling was heard from the bushes.

"What...?" she started, but was cut off as something barreled into her. She swiped her claws across its muzzle, and got up. It was a fox, a beautiful ginger she-fox.

"Wait!" the fox yipped as Ivypaw and Bumbleclaw prepared to attack. "I'm a friend!"

"You speak cat?" Ivypaw meowed in suprise.

"All foxes speak cat. We've just never revealed it to cats until... well until three moons ago."

"What's your name, fox?" Bumbleclaw hissed.

"I'm Spark. I came to warn the cats of LightningClan that a danger is approaching."

"LightningClan?"

"Did I get the term wrong? I knew I couldn't hear them properly," Spark murmured to herself. "It's ThunderClan, right?"

"Yeah. What do foxes want with ThunderClan?"

"A white and brown tom with long fur came to our camp three moons ago, claiming he knew we could speak cat, and told us he could help us out. His name was Sun-something-or-other."

"Who could that be?" Bumbleclaw wondered.

"Anyway, he said he knew our heart's deepest desire. Palepelts raided our camp and destroyed our dens and our food. We began rebuilding, and then he came. He spoke of a beautiful territory, with a huge lake to drink from and cats to prey on. Yes, cats," she growled when Bumbleclaw opened his mouth. "My skulk has developed in a taste for cats since he brought them the body of a black she-cat, with clouded green eyes."

Ivypaw gasped.

"He told us he would help us in exchange for being co-ruler of the forest and helping him take down four cats who oppose him: three warriors and an apprentice.

"Our leader, Lark, agreed and had the skulk continue to mend the camp, but not very well and only with twigs instead of the great trees and huge boulders that it used to be made out of."

"What is a skulk?" Ivypaw asked.

"A group of foxes. You call them Clans. (Dawn: I got that one off the internet lol) Now you must warn your Clan, and the chosen four, that a great battle is coming. There are traitors within your own Clan, and in the others."

"Traitors?" Ivypaw gulped.

"I must go. I'm betraying my leader by warning you," Spark growled. With that, she turned away and ran off.

"Come on, we must warn the Clan!" Ivypaw yowled.

"Let's go!" The two cats raced off.

Dawn: It's going to get more exciting now.

Kish: Plenty of action; my kind of thing.

Zakuro: I'll give you action if you don't run!

Kish: Eek! *teleports away*

Burt: How come they use those whip things instead of a real weapon? Why, my guns--

Dawn: I'll update next week if homework isn't too horrible!

Hollyleaf: Remember Spark from the prologue? She was the only fox to protest Lark's plans.

Dusk: So read!

Zakuro: and. (whatever, this is so not worth it)

Kish: *teleports back* Review!
