hello guys, it's Andrew here again writing chapter 2.

Chapter 2:

Redstripe tried to make a path through the mass of cats to hear what Silverclaw had to say. The patrol had seen something weird, and he certainly didn't want to miss out on hearing.

Just as the cats cleared out around him, Redstripe could start to make out Silverclaw's words:

"...It was big. We thought it was some kind of giant Periscope or something. We still don't know what it is. But after that, a giant fish, and I mean GIANT FISH! Jumped out of the water and just disappeared into the clouds!"

After Silverclaw finished, Redstripe smelled something very strange.

Very stinky, too.

Redstripe figured out what had happened when he looked down at the ground.

Yeah, he just sh*t his pants.

Later that day...

Redstripe needed to go out on his date with the FishFaceClan warrior REEEEE. They had been meeting for the past few weeks, and nobody knew yet. People were suspicious, but nobody ACTUALLY knew, kinda like when Leafpool falls in love with Crowfeather, except these two are ACTUALLY gonna leave their Clans and not just go for a day like total sissies.

Redstripe was about halfway to the border when he heard a twig snap behind him.

He looked back, but he couldn't find anything.

Then he heard a small voice hiss "Darn it!" And he knew who was following him.

"Mathpaw, what the heck are you doing here?"

"Uh... i don't know. But do you want to know what I do know? That 2^100 equals precisely 1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,376. SuperMathNerd taught me."

"That's great, Mathpaw, but please go back to camp. I'm on a secret mission and you can't follow me or else I'm busted."

"Nah. I don't feel like going back to camp. Plus, I already know you're meeting with a warrior from another Clan, so if I went back, I'd tell everybody. Now do you want me to go back?"

Redstripe stared at the apprentice in shock. How does he know this?

"Okay, fine. But I don't want you around when we're doing that 18+ stuff. No kids allowed."

"Redstripe, you really think I'm stupid enough that I don't know exactly what's gonna happen, when, and how? A newborn kit could see that the two of you are in love."

Redstripe smacked himself in the face.

"*Sigh*... Let's go, Mathpaw. No use keeping you back in camp."

Mathpaw followed Redstripe to the FishFaceClan border, and the three cats set off to make their getaway before Redstripe's love was found out.

Now, their fate depended on pickle juice, and your kitchen counter. Kimchi couldn't clean the fingertips now that the blood moon has injected charcoal into the chocolate.
