Week Six: Beatles Week
I dont know -bout you, but I'm having trouble remembering what cats are still in! Some author I am, right??? here are all the contestants.
Rainwhisker, Sandstorm, Ravenpaw, Brambleclaw, Squirrelflight, Leafpool, Mistyfoot, Reedwhisker, Crowfeather, Tawnypelt, Sorreltail, and Ferncloud. If I missed any, I'm sorry! I know that I included Mothwing last chapter, but i think I voted her off right?? Let's go with that , K. And I may have forgotten Ravenpaw's performance last week too.. but deal! he's still in! everyone makes mistakes (especially me!)
Top twelve! Two cats will be voted off each week for the next few weeks, just cause I need to start wrapping up this story, other wise it'll be like 400 chapters long! I knoe that the other Warriors/AmericanIdol crossovers out there are shorter, but the ORIGANAL is going to be REAL LONG!
Also, I have a question for my loveley readers and reviewers. When this season is finished, how should I do the sequel (yes, there is a sequel!). Should I post it as StarClan Idol 2? Should I keep it on this same story? I can;t call it StarClan Season 2, because this story takes place in the fifth season. Give me your ideas!
I don't own warriors, or american idol, or the beatles. (my birthday is coming up though!)
Okay, give me one more inch of room, and Thornclaw is going DOWN!
We're in a board meeting. I always wondered if 'board meeting' meant 'a meeting of the board' or 'a meeting when you're bored.'
Anyway, Thornclaw is already talking about what color he's gonna paint his dressing room! I mean, I don't even have a dressing room! And what kind of tom paints their room periwinkle. PERIWINKLE! It sounds like a kit's play toy! Next thing, he'll want our stage to be pink!
"How about we go with opal trimmings?" Thornclaw says to the design team.
I'm not making this stuff up!
"Now Thornclaw." the director says angerly. "I'm not hiring some pasny!? pretty-tom! I'm hiring a host!"
Haha.. you got served. I think in pleasure. I lovvvvvveee to here the director get mad, at anyone but me of course. I take a chance to suck up. Always suck up to your boss infront of the competition.
"I picked Beatles Week for the theme, you know." I said.
"I love the Beatles!" the director says instantly. He flicks his tail towards me, then looks back at Thornclaw. "You need to be more like him!"
Denied Thornclaw! Denied! Sootfur: 1 Thornclaw: 0.
"Alright!" the producer says, rising from his chair. "This concludes tonight's bored meeting! At the next one, we will examine the other host contestant."
I remember the Northeren I saw covered in mud. So he was still in the competition eh? Not for long! Sootfur (that's me!) always wins!
The producer glances down at his watch. "Blimey Sootfur (did I mention the producer's Austrailian?)! Its quarter past seven! You'd better hurry up if you want to make to the show on time!"
I rose dramatically from my seat. "I alway's make it on time." I say gruffly, I give the producer and directior each a curt nod, and then a smirk at Thornclaw behind their backs.
Time for the show!
(StarClan TV Room) (Spottedleaf's POV)
"I think its about time that we watch Rainbowtail's Circus!"
Twitch.
Ever since Willowpelt started taking her day care class into the lounge, chaos has been happening.
She only puts on those gay little kittie shows, about sunshine with a face and rainbows and green grass and colors. Okay, I feel sorry that the little kits died young, but this is the tv lounge, get the kitties a nursery!
"Willowpelt." I said, trying my best to sound sweet and charming (yeah right). "StarClan Idol is on."
"Oh no." Willowpelt says instantly. "We don't like that show!"
This is gonna be harder then I thought.
(StarClan Idol Stage)
"The top twelve preform tonight, yet by tomorrow night (if Misty is feeling genorous), there will be only ten. Who stays, and whos goes? That all depends on tonight's performances. Welcome, to StarClan Idol."
Top twelve already! (somebody should tell him that its been nearly a year since i've posted this!)
The theme song plays, and I try my hardest to block it out by humming 'Its A Small World' under my breath. It ends, but the song is still stuck in my head! Grrr! Its a never ending cycle.
"During 'Its A small world week-" I realize I am getting funny looks, then a smack myself, and cough. "During Beatles week, (nice one Sootfur!), our conestents each picked a Beatles song, or a song composed by John Lennon or Paul MCartney."
Its a world of laughter, a world of tears
No way!
"Let's bring out our first contestant, Ravenpaw!" the crowd cheers was the black loner taskes the stage.
Hey jude, dont be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.
And anytime you feel the pain, hey jude, refrain,
Dont carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.
Hey jude, dont let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.
So let it out and let it in, hey jude, begin,
Youre waiting for someone to perform with.
And dont you know that its just you, hey jude, youll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.
Hey jude, dont make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then youll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.
I swayed to the music, thankful that 'Its A Small World' was outa my head. Oh no! Thinking about not having to think about 'Its A small World' had thus re-inhabited 'Its A Small World' back into my head.
Its a world of hope, and a world of fears.
No!
"BLACKSTAR!" I shouted, trying to remove the terribley annoying song from my head. Blackstar looks at me like "im mental (which is pretty much how he looks at me all the time). I feel my tail flickering in anger.
"I can tell why you're a loner." the white cat says smugly. "No one else must wanna be around you, when you have a voice like that."
Ravenpaw bristled, his neck fur rising. But he soon relaxed. "I least I'm secure enough to not insult everyone I see." he retorts, a smile creeping on his face.
"Touche." I whisper. Ravenpaw tilts his head at me, amusement twitching his whiskers.
Blackstar sulks around moodily, staring daringly at the crowd.
"Leopardstar." I say.
And then, something happened that made me wanna jump out of my skin.
"""
(StarClan Idol Lounge)(Spottedleaf's POV)
I began pascing around irritabley, wondering why on earth I hadn't been sensible like Yellowfang and bought my own TV (Yellowfang is SO anti-social these days.)
And I really, REALLY wanna kill Rainbowtail!
I mean, not only is his show TOTALY BOGUS, but not even the kits seem interested. The keep running around and pouncing on Oakheart's tail (I do have to admit, watching him twitch has its up sides.)
"So Willowpelt," I begin hopefully. "Its nearly 8:10, shouldn't you be getting the little kitties off to the nursery?"
"I appreciate that you care Spottedleaf." Willowpelt smiles at me.
Oh yeah! WILLOW-WEIRD0 -0. SPOTTIE-1.
"But it's a marathon of Rainbowtail tonight! I promised them that I'd let them stay up." Willowpelt finishes.
Maybe not.
(StarClan Idol Stage)
I couldn't remember the next line of Its a Small world!
Da-da-da,da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, Its a Small, Small, world.
"Let's...bring out Brambleclaw now." I wince, closing my eyes and trying my best not to scream in frustration.
You think you lost your love,
When I saw her yesterday.
It's you she's thinking of
And she told me what to say.
She says she loves you
And you know that can't be bad.
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad.
She said you hurt her so
She almost lost her mind.
But now she said she knows
You're not the hurting kind.
She says she loves you
And you know that can't be bad.
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad. Ooh!
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
And with a love like that
You know you should be glad.
Although it's up to you,
I think it's only fair,
Pride can hurt you, too,
Apologize to her
Because she loves you
And you know that can't be bad.
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad. Ooh!
So Brambo finishes, and I'm still trying to contimplate the line of 'Its A Small World.' Blackstar was terribley disappointed in Brambleclaw. Leopardstar was disappointed at Blackstar. Onestar was embarressed of Leopardstar, who had tattoes the message 'YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE' on his forepaw while he was sleeping. And Firestar was disappointed that the new '8 Seasons' magizine was not out.
"I'm disappointed in you Brambleclaw." growled Blackstar.
Leopardstar shot him a death glare, her eyes glinted evilly. "I'm disappointed in you, Blackstar. Brmableclaw, you were delightful, I lovvvvee that song!"
Brambleclaw smiled nervously.
"Brambleclaw, you were bright and shiney!" Onestar smiled.
Leopardstar's face grew into a mischeiveios smile. "Like sunshine , Onestar?" she giggled. Onestar sunk down low in his chair, taking deep gulps from his Coca Cola glass.
"Whats with the world today?" Firestar growled angerly. "I want cheesecake, and I want it now!"
"Umm.. Firestar-" I started.
"NOW!"
Woah.. Firey in a bad mood today.
"Alright, let's bring out Rainwhisker, sining 'Let it BE!"
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.
And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
The audience cheered and swayed along to the music, some holding lighters, or even cell phones into the air. The mixed light reminded me of the day when the stars of Silverpelt were reflected into the lake. I sighed. Happy memories!
"Blackstar." I declare, hoping that the leaders will be a little more informative for Rainwhisker. I wince as I think of Leopardstar's recation.
"That was... hmmm. Let's put it into words you can understand." the tom began smugly. "B-A-D."
My brother snarled, his haunches raising. I stepped between him and Blackstar. The last thing this show needs is more violence. Instead, I think of something to say to bring Blackie back down, where he belongs.
"Can I have some applause for Blackstar." I smirk. "He's just learned his ABCs."
The crowd bursts into cheers, some yelling 'BLACKSTAR', though, pleasing me, post yelling 'SOOTFUR!' I'm on a roll tongith folks!
"Le-Leopardstar." I studder, suddently remembering how the other night, the RiverClan leader mysteriously disppaeared with the tom who is standing next to me.
She bats he eyelashes secretly. The only thing that escapes her mouth is a pur, and it makes my neck fur bristle and my claws unsheathe. Aren't there enough cats in the Clan for Rainwhisker to pad after?
"Onestar." I say, trying to keep my voice from stumbling, or from me hurling myself at Leopardstar. Or Rainwhiswker. I ahven't decided at the moment.
"I loved it." Onestar says, trying to rubb away the tatoo on his forepaw. He gulps nervously, then glances around. I hold back an amused pur.
"Firestar."
"Where's that cheesecake!"
"Okay, time for Crowfeather!" I say with a smile, wondering if Firestar has EVER given a perforamance an actual feedback. Hmm, that'll be something good to include in the finale.
Crowfeather comes over, and high fives Rainwhisker as he leaves. The tom exchanges a brief nodd with me, and I step back as the music begins.
Everywhere people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say
Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away
How can I even try
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I'm in
How could she say to me
Love will find a way
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say
He finishes, and I can see his eyes narrow, as though he is angry. I look and depict that his gaze is directed at Leafpool. I stare at him sympathetically, but get a grip! Its been moons since you broke it off with her! Move on! Buy a sweater or something!
Thankfully, everyone loved the song, and I was careful to try and not think about "Its a Small World." Oh crap.
WHAT IS THAT LINE!
"Does anyone know the chrous to 'Its a Small World'?" I blurt out. I realize that I am getting strange looks. So much for being on a roll Sootie! This ties for Worst Moment On StarClan Idol, with my first episode if I asked the crowd where the little tom's tree was. Grrrrr.
"I mean..." I swallow nervously, looking around in desperate hope for an escape. "Time for Squirrelflight!"
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these daya are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.
She finishes to a general applause, though not as much as she usually does. I wonder what made her choose that song. She's not in any real need of 'Help', but maybe it was just a personal favorite song.
"You just went down TEN notches in my book!" Blackstar spits at her.
Brambleclaw rises from his seat, his pelt bristling defiantly. Oh crap. I think, quickly flicking my tail at Leopardstar.
"Uhh.. not your best." the RiverClan leader says slowly, her gaze odriftingt back to where Rainwhisker disappeared. Is everyone in the Clans messed up these days?
Brambleclaw begings to move towards the judges stand, his tail held high. I frantically point at Onestar. Please tell her something good.
"It was good." he says.
Thank you StarClan! I say thankfully, lifting my head upward.
Firestar continued his rant about cheesecake, so I went and called for Tawnypelt to come out. Brambleclaw did nothing expect glare evilly at the judges, before escorting Squirrelflight off the stage.
Think of what you're saying.
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's all right.
Think of what I'm saying,
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night.
We can work it out,
We can work it out.
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend.
I have always thought that it's a crime,
So I will ask you once again.
Try to see it my way,
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long.
We can work it out,
We can work it out.
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend.
I have always thought that it's a crime,
So I will ask you once again.
The crowd stands up and cheers when she finishes her song. As usual, Tawnypelt's face does not reveal any emotion, but she stares at her leader, waiting for his review.
"You could go to the fianle with that song." he says, impressed. I gape at him.
"I thought it was bad!" Leopardstar says, glaring at Blackstar. I wince. This is the FIRST time that Leopardstar has ever said anything negative. EVER!
"Call the press!" I yell. Once again, everyone stares at me.
Then suddently, as though it had been sent to me by StarClan, I remembered the next line!
There's so much, that we share, That its time we're aware!
"OH YEAH!" I shout.
More awkward stares.
I'mm on a roll, alright!
