Bluestar padded to stand in the middle of the cats.

"Now that the youngest cat in the clans, is now apprentice aged, I think it's time that we start our plan."

"About time!" Skystar spat.

Hollyleaf's eyes widened with horror, it was happening already? For moons, she had tried to contact the kits, but to no avail, something seemed to be blocking her.

Did no one ever teach them about StarClan?

"I'll send a dream to Crowstar!" Hawkheartless meowed enthusiastically.

Other medicine cats from the other clans reluctantly agreed to send dreams to their leaders. Cinderpelt to Bramblestar, Echosong to SkyClan, Yellowfang to ShadowClan, and Mudfur to RiverClan.

After they all sent their dreams, Skystar rubbed his paws together.

"Let the battles commence!" he yowled gleefully.


The following morning, Bramblestar woke up with a gasp, and quickly jumped up on high ledge.

"Everyone who is old enough to catch their own prey, gather around!" he yowled.

"I wonder what this is about?" Jayfeather grumbled in a sleep filled voice.

"I just got news from StarClan that we're all probably going to die, so I decided to give all of the apprentices their warrior names!"

"Die? What do you mean die?" Brightheart gasped.

"StarClan said that there are too many cats in KittypetClan, so now we must all fight to the death!"

"No way," Cloudtail shook his head, "Come on Brightheart and Whitewing, we're going to live with twolegs!"

"But you can't live with twolegs! It's against the warrior code!" Thornclaw called after them.

"No, I think it's the right thing to do," Daisy meowed, as she raced away with Mousewhisker. She then stopped suddenly.

"Berrynose, are you coming?" she asked her son.

The cream tom shook his head.
"I have to stay here with Poppydawn and take care of our kits!"

"Take her and the kits too!"

Barrynose nodded, and he, Poppyfrost, Molewhisker, and Cherryfall followed Daisy.

"They should have called the trap neuter release program instead," Millie grumbled, as she too left.

"Are you going to go?" Bramblestar asked Stormcloud.

"No, I'm a KittypetClan warrior," he meowed.

Bramblestar nodded.

"Good, now we can get on with the naming ceremony."

He turned to Budpaw, whose belly rivaled that of a kittypet who got fed six hundred times a day.

"Budpaw, since you are very optimistic, your warrior name will be...Budlight!"

"Budlight! Budlight!" all the cats cheered.

Once the noise died down, Bramblestar waved Weedpaw up with his tail.

Unlike his brother, Weedpaw looked like the skinniest WindClan cat in leafbare.

"Weedpaw, since you are very aggressive, your warrior name will be...Weedwhacker!"

"Weedwhacker! Weedwhacker!"

One by one, Brambleclaw called the rest of the apprentices up. He gave Leafpaw the name, Leaftail.

"That's my name!" he heard Leaftail from WindClan yowl in the distance, he just ignored him, and gave Featherpaw the name Featherpool. The next chat he gave a warrior name to, was Rookpaw, who he named Rookcloud, after Crowfeather's ex-mate.

"Why am I named Frecklepaw? I don't have any flecks on me, I'm just a brown tabby," Frecklepaw asked, just as he did every day.

"I don't know, ask Leafpool," Bramblestar replied, giving the same answer that he, and all the other cats, always gave.

"Anyway, your warrior name is Frecklespeckle!"

"Frecklespeckle! Frecklespeckle!"


Meanwhile, in The Dark Forest, all the cats were sitting around, playing tic-tac-toe, when Darkstripe suddenly ran in, wearing a purple pelt over his own dark grey pelt.

"Darkstripe, where have you been? What happened to your fur?" one of the cats gasped.

"I was at Bloor's Academy," he sniffed, "You've probably never heard of it."

"Wow, I can't believe you can actually do something other than be Tigerstar's little bi-"

"Without Tigerstar, I found that I can do A LOT of things!" Darkstripe spat, cutting Mudclaw off.

"What does the purple mean?" Littlecloud asked with interest shining in his blue eyes.

"That's the drama department, it's where all the cool cats go," Darkstripe purred, "All the losers go to music, they wear blue, and the other department is art, and they were green!"

"That sounds like kittypet stuff," Mudclaw meowed, narrowing his eyes.

"No one asked you rabbit-breath," Darkstripe hissed.

He then took off his purple pelt, to reveal three small kits that had been hiding inside! A light grey she-kit, a dark grey tabby tom, and a dark brown tabby tom.

"These are my kits," he announced, "Their names are Willowkit, Dirtkit, and Tigerkit."

"Oh my StarClan," Littlecloud gasped.

All of the original Dark Forest cats glared at him.
"We don't say that here," one of them hissed.

"Can we have kits too?" Mudclaw asked.

"Beats me, anyway, I'm going to sleep."

Darkstripe padded away with his kits following him, leaving everyone standing there feeling baffled.
