Episode 53: One Odd RiverClan Leader
Nightcloud sat in her red plush chair, wearing a pair of green sparkly reading glasses and holding a thick storybook in her lap. "Once upon a time, in a Clan far away, lived an awesome cat named Nightcloud," the black she-cat read.
"What are you doing?" Yellowfang asked her co-host, setting her newspaper down on her lap.
"Starting the show."
The gray she-cat shook her head unhappily. "Can you do it correctly, for once?"
Nightcloud sighed loudly, putting her book down. "Fine. Welcome to The Yellowfang and Nightcloud Show!"
"So our last episode was interesting, right?" Yellowfang asked.
"Indeed it was," the black co-host agreed. "We thought that since Blackstar thought all the other leaders were so much cooler than him, we'd invite one of them to be on the show today."
Yellowfang nodded. "Please welcome Leopardstar to the show!"
The golden tabby she-cat danced onto the stage, wearing a purple tutu.
"Awesome tutu, Leopardstar!" Nightcloud exclaimed. "I have a pink one just like that!"
"Oh goodness..." Yellowfang gasped. "Please don't tell me the RiverClan leader has something in common with Nightcloud!"
Leopardstar sat down in one of the green plush chairs, facing the hosts. "I've taken ballet since I was a kit! My father wanted me to play Clara in 'The Nutcracker'."
"OMG, that's an awesome ballet!" Nightcloud squealed. "My favorite is 'Swan Lake', though."
"I've been in that!" Leopardstar meowed. "I played a skunk!"
Yellowfang huffed angrily. Glaring down at Tansy, she hissed, "Okay, stop the show!"
Tansy, ignoring the host, kept filming.
"Why should we stop the show?" Nightcloud asked her co-host.
"This show is supposed to be about families!" Yellowfang growled. "Not about dancing!"
Leopardstar glanced at Nightcloud. "Your co-host is so uncultured," she whispered.
"I know, right?" the black she-cat agreed. "I bet she doesn't even know who Beethoven is!"
"Who?" Yellowfang asked.
The RiverClan she-cat gave Nightcloud a sympathetic look. "You poor cat, Nightcloud. I don't know who you put up with her!"
"You don't know how she puts up with me?" Yellowfang gasped. "I have to put up with her!"
Nightcloud rolled her eyes. "Yellowfang, you obviously don't know anything. Just be quiet and let the cultured cats talk."
"No one tells the host of this show to be quiet!" the gray cat spat.
"You tell me to be quiet all the time!" Nightcloud reminded her co-host.
Yellowfang threw her paws up in the air. "That's because this is my show!"
"Is not!" Nightcloud hissed. "It's my show, too!"
The former medicine cat let out an unholy yowl and leaped at Nightcloud, knocking her off of her chair.
Leopardstar watched the fight, horror flaring in her eyes. "ShadowClan cats are so barbaric."
"#iknowright #yellowydoesntlikeballet #yellowyissomean" Nightcloud gasped as she fought her co-host.
The RiverClan leader shook her head, disapprovingly. "Only barbaric cats resort to attacking others when threatened. In RiverClan, when we're offended by something we listen to some soothing classical music."
Yellowfang stared at her guest in amazement. "And Blackstar's the uncool one?"
