"Hmmm," Willowpelt's eyes darted back and forth between Whitestorm and Tawnyspots.

"For StarClan's sake Willowpelt, it's been seasons, just choose Tawnyspots already, so I can have Whitestorm, and then we can all be happy!" Brindleface hissed.

"Why would you want Whitestorm? His son grew up to be a total psychopath!" Tawnyspots exclaimed.

"Yeah, well, at least my name makes sense! You're not tawny coloured, or spotted," Whitestorm retorted.

"It's because of my delightfully spotted belly," Tawnyspots meowed, standing up on his hind-legs to show off his belly spots.

"Oh Brindleface, what am I going to do!" Willowpelt yowled.

The grey she cat sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Like I said Willowpelt, go with Tawnyspots, I want Whitestorm."

"But what about me?" Redtail asked, padding over to join the group.

"Why don't we all just be mates with each other?" Willowpelt suggested.

"I'm a one cat kind of tom, so I'm out," Tawnyspots meowed.

Redtail nodded.

"Me too."

"Whatever, losers," Willowpelt meowed, rolling her eyes, before padding away with Whitestorm and Brindleface.


Meanwhile, in WhoClan..

"Mistystar!" Harepaw yowled.

The elderly grey leader lifted her head.

"Yes?"

"Why is Beetlewhisker no longer my mentor?"

Mistystar sighed.

"Beetlewhisker has been dead for seasons now, but everyone is just too busy to bury him."

"But look at how much he's taught me!" Harepaw exclaimed, laying down on the ground, not moving, and hardly even breathing.

Mistystar didn't say anything, she just shook her head, and padded back to her den.


In DingdongOnestarisdeadClan, things weren't faring much better.

"I've decided to take a mate from ShadowClan!" Crowstar announced.

"What?" Nightcloud spat.

"Who is it?" Breezepelt growled, "I want to claw their fur off!"

"It's Snowbird."

"She's too old for you!" Leaftail yowled.

Gorsetail nodded.

"Yeah, I heard she was already a warrior before Tigerclaw was even Tigerstar!"

"Did I say Snowbird? I meant, um," Crowfeather closed his eyes, "Let's see uhh," he clicked his tongue, "Oh, I know, Leafpool!"

"Leafpool is dead, she Millie, Larksong, and Ambermoon performed deathberry roulette," Squirrelflight sighed.

"What in StarClan is that? By the way, why are you on WindClan territory?" Crowfeather demanded.

"Because," Squirrelflight scoffed, "I can be, and deathberry roulette, is where you get five pieces of prey that are the same, like five mice, five birds, five squirrels, five-"

"I get the point!" Crowfeather spat.

"Well, sooorrry," Squirrelflight rolled her eyes, "Anyway, you fill one of the pieces of prey up with deathberries, and then you shuffle them around, and take a bite of each piece, unfortunately, they all bit the prey with the deathberries on their first try."

"Well, that sucks," Crowfeather grumbled.

"I know, I miss her more and more every day, and I guess I miss Millie and those other two cats too, whatever their names were," Squirrelflight sighed.

"Yeah, can you leave now? My clan and I were discussing serious business."

"Yeah, I just came here to tell you that everyone is going to start killing each other very soon, and since I still consider us friends from the time we went on that journey together, I figured I'd tell you."

"Alright, thanks."

Once Squirrelflight had left, Crowfeather turned back to his clan.

"I figured out who my ShadowClan mate is," he meowed.

All the cats leaned forward with their ears pricked.

"Tawnypelt!"


In the Dark Forest...

"Alright Willowkit, Tigerkit, and Dirtkit, here is your first lesson, the strongest cats get to eat first, so that they'll have energy to hunt more food for the weaker cats," Darkstripe meowed.

"Does that mean Willowkit and Tigerkit will get to eat before me?" Dirtkit squeaked.

"No! The queens and kits eat first, it says so in The Warrior Code!" Mudclaw gasped.

Darkstripe narrowed his eyes with confusion.

"And that would be?"

"Um, the whole foundation of our clans," Mudclaw rolled his eyes, "I know you're originally a Dark Forest cat, but surely, you know what the Warrior Code is!"

"Mudclaw, do you need some herbs? You're talking like you have bees in your brain," Littlecloud meowed.

"What?" Mudclaw spat, "Even you? A medicine cat?" he shook his head, "I know you're from ShadowClan and all, but you?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about either," Oakheart meowed.

Crookedstar nodded.

"Well, I'll be fox-dung," Mudclaw grumbled, padding away, muttering to himself.

Was there anyone who remembered the Warrior Code other than him?
