~LEADERPAW POV~

"Front paw!"

I need to get this right.

"Back paw!"

Ive been practicing 4 way too long to keep messing up.

"Leap and hold!"

if that prophecy means anything, im gonna be leader! The most epic ever! I cant be just MEDIOCRE!

"Duck and twist!"

Im gona be LEADERSTAR someday!

"Dodge! Feint! Side blow!"

...Oh, starclan, thats such a stupid name actualy.

"That's enough, Leaderpaw!" Featherglass sat down in teh grass a few feet away from me, breathing heavily from exhaustion. They smiled. "Youve come a long way in thes past two weeks, but i think i know what ur problem is."

I had been standing their, panting and trying to maintain my balance, but as my mentor sed that i lifted my hed up quickly adn eagerly. "WHAT? Rly?! Wat is it?! Tell me!" Tell me so i can FIX it!

There was the faintest of good-humored smirks on their face. "U overthink things 2 much, Leaderpaw. I saw u getting lost in thought again today... slows ur reaction time, dulls ur blows, makes you make missteps."

Oh. That was.. NOT wat i wanted to hear. "My dad alwasy told me to fight smart, not hard." i sighed, staring down at my sore paws.

"Ratmouse said that?" Featherglass blinked at me wideeyed as if the very idea seemed shocking 2 them (i couldnt help but feel a bit offended). "Well, nevermind. Being smart in battle is definitly important, ya, but sometimes u rly gotta trust your instincts! In a real battle u wont have the luxury to think while the enemys already on ur back."

I shuffled my paws awkwerdly. True, i hadnt really been thinking back wen i fended off that Windclan patrol, but... "Wat if i do something stupid in front of evrybody? What if im so embarrasing that starclan takes my prophecy away?"

They took a long deep sigh, putting a paw to their face. "Thats ur other problem Leaderpaw... u think too much about that prophecy. Ur too worried abt living up too it that u second guess everything u do."

Damn u didnt have to lay it out like that man...

After a moment of waiting for me to say something that didnt come, Fetherglass continued. "You cant live ur life trying to impress everyone else. U gotta support yourself first and foremost, and THEN u can do ur best for others, too."

"Well." I started fully aware i was probably about 2 say something dumb. "ill be impressed with myself when everyone else is."

Featherglass just rolled theyr eyes, looking away as if disapointed at something other than me. "Nevermind... for now lets just take a break from training. If we get moving quickly we could catch up with ur brothers on the shadowClan border patrol."

I perked up a little at that. Eh I could use the distraction! "Aight, lets go then!"

.

~MEMORYPAW (AN: Yea. New character) POV~

I woke up late in my den covered in scratchs and blood. It was another epic night of training in the Dark Forest wihch is so aewsome, however i ended up getting hurt because one of Stormdreams shitty little lackeys pushed me off the rock i was training on and knocked me in2 a thorn bush. It was really cringe... Tigerstar 3 was very sorry and said that tomorrow night he'll teach me the fuked up and illegal instant kill moves to make up for it. I love being evil!

ANyway thats offtopic. It was patrol time motherfrickers!

Dollstar was up on the bigass pinebranch looking over the clan and her deputy Yologhost (its an ironic name 'cuz he did not only live once, idk his deal but i think hes a ghost or zombie or zombie ghost but i never asked) were assigning patrols 2 everyone.

"HEY YOLOGHOST CAN I TRAIN TO KILL WITH GUNSWORDCLAW AGAIN TODAY?" I yelled at peak volume so everyone could hear me bc im important as FRICK. (Mom doesnt want me saying the f word but other swears are ok)

Yologohst looked at me boredly (which was really hurtful) and said "That is the only thing you have asked to do since being apprenticed. I am not goig to let you do nothing but battle training every fucking day."

I frowny faced at him. When i eventually would become deputy-leader of Shadowclan (and of the whole forest because im cool like that) I would let the other apprentices do anything they want everyday. All the time.

"Let the kid have SOME fun Yologhost..." Dollstar laughed. Dollstar is so fricking epic she is the best leader ever btw! "But i agree he cant just battle train everyday." Holy Starclan Dollstar has betrayed me... "Put him on the Thunderclan border patrol." NVM SHES THE BEST EVER!

Ive been wanting to go on the Thudnerclan border patrol for forever... A week or two ago i had a dream where Tigerstar 3 appeared to me and told me i have a prophetic destiny and that my enemy was in Thunderclan and it was my job to defeat her. However i told everyone about it and so they decided they probably should keep me away from thunderClan to be safe.

I overheard Stick-In-The-Mudpelt (not his actual name hes just named stickpelt) muttering "I thought we were avoiding letting Memorypaw get within 109389128493 feet of ThunderClan so he doesnt start a fuckign war by accident?"

I turned and yelled to him so loud that everyone could heare "IF I START A WAR WITH THUNDERCLAN IT WONT BE AN ACCIDENT. AND I WILL WIN"

Yologhost looked at Dollstar disbeliefingly. "Are... are you sure this is a good idea? What about the DJ treaty?" Wat the dark forest did that mean?

"Chill, Im gonna give him a quick rundown. Besides, wats the odds that his prophecied arch-nemesis's gonna be on border patrol on the one single day we let him patrol the Thunderclan border?" Dollstar grinned with that glint in her eyes that everyone knew meant she was secretly kind of hoping something bad would actually happen because it would actually kick ass. Which i agree with btw.

Yologhost sighed defeatedly. "Ok... Well Memorypaw you are on the Thunderclan border patrol with Bloodmoon, Shatteredchains, and Castlespectre."

I herd Tigerstar 3's voice echo in my mind... ("This is your chance kid... I hope your ready for some mayhem. Which you will be the one to cause hopefully.")

I puffed out my chest proudly and coolly. "FRICK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!"

.

~LEADERPAW POV~

I ran over excitedly to greet Nightepaw and Paisleypaw. Dashflash was there too. I paused confusedly. "Wait... wheres Shinyleap?" Oh Starclan shes probably off doig something silly again huh.

"Shes off doig something really damn dumb again." Paisleypaw said very flatly and boredly.

"That is... very mean to say" Somehow i dont feel like arguing, though. Sorryyyyyyy Shinyleap.

Dashflash sighed. "Dont say nasty shit abt your mentor, dude." Then she grabbed a big marker and drew a lightningbolt symbol on a tree to mark territory, as has been custom since the era of Firestar 3 (not as historically significant as Firestar 2). "Shinyleap got stuck in a foxhole and is now teaching the foxes math."

I stared blankly. "Waht. But why."

Dashflash shrugged.

Featherglass sighed and ran up by her side. "No trouble from Shadowclan?" They asked casually, probably trying to avoid the topic of Shinyleap. And who could blame them?

Dashflash looked away looking kind of like, weird and awkward? Like she didnt want to answer the question even tho it was perfectly normal. "Yea no Shadowclan's been behaving. Good for us huh?"

"Wait, does Featherglass not kno abo-" Nightpaw began but quickly Dashflash shushed him with her tail.

Ok. That was weird as the Place of No Stars. Im gonna have to ask Nightpaw about that later... I thought. I went 2 checking the borders and sure enough shadowclan wasnt up to anything weird, i guess. Kind of anticlimactic but its not like thats a bad thing. I kind of wonder if theyre up to something though... Arent they always doing suspicious stuff? "Hey are we sure shadowclan isnt up to anything weird tho? Dont they break the code for fun or something"

Featherglass hissed scoldingly. "Leaderpaw! Dont spread around stereotypes like that!"

"...But my dad told me theyre famous for causing trouble." I finaly said, though now that i said it it did sound super stereotype-y. Damn wow i sound like an ass now huh.

Paisleypaw rolled his eyes looking unimpressed with the whole conversation. "I dont really care... if theyre from a different clan that means their our enemys either way. Ill fight em on sight wether they break the code or not."

Dashflash scoffed. "U better not take that mentality 2 the gathering tomorrow, kid!"

"O STARCLAN THE GATHERINGS TOMORROW?!" I GASPED all of a sudden. I had completely forgotted! Omsc i want to go to the gathering so bad... I need to make this the best border patrol to have ever patrolled if i wanna go!

"Yea its- wat are you doing?"

I was rapidly frantically running all along the border dragging a crayon along every tree and rock and blade of grass on our side of the territory as fastly as possible. "IM DOING MY BEST!" I aaccidentally crayoned a blade of grass that was on the wrong side of the border and in a panic i jstu ripped it out of the ground and swapped it around with a blade of grass i didnt mark. Oh my Starclan everybodys going to notice my mistake. Im going to get demoted back to kit. Im going to lose my prophecy. Starclan is going to PERSONALLY SMITE ME.

"Is your apprentice, like... ok?" Dashflash said uncomfortably to Featherglass with a very strained note to her voice.

"She...shes not dealing well with the prophecy thing." Featherglass said after a long pause. "Or having any expectations on her at all tbh."

I made a sound halfway between the strangled death cry of a coyote hit by a monster and the call of a hawk that has suddenly realized its wings have stopped working in midair. "DO NOT SAY THAT. I AM MANAGING WELL." Theyre just jealous that im managing to prophecy so well. I bet if they prophecy'd they couldnt do it half as good as me. I'm winning at being a good warrior. - I repeated that in my mind like a mantra to reassure myself like i do very often.

Meanwhile Nightpaw and Paisleypaw were having a normal conversation which i didnt mean to eavesdrop on but im good at that. Sorry.

"U dont seem that excited about the gathering tbh. Somethign up?" Paiselypaw asked to Nightpaw.

"...Ha ha nah im! Super psyched! Wow meeting cats from other clans so exciting who could ever imagine!" Nightpaw laughed the most fake-ass laugh i have ever heard in my life, starclan DAMN.

"Ohhhhhhh, i understand... Youve always been a big rule follower huh. Socializing with our enemies probably sounds really scary to you."

"You Are Not Even Remotely Correct. Also sicne when was my thing being a rule follower."

"Idk.. You just kind of did? U didnt even sneak out of camp twice a week as a kit like me and Leaderpaw did."

I interrupted to hiss "DO NOT fu- freaking say somethign like that in front of my mentor oh my Starclan." at Paisleypaw. Featherglass juts kind of laughed lightheartedly apparently not actually taking it that seriously.

Paislypaw rolled his eyes. "Ok yea wahtever. My point still stands." he said.

"Rules are nothing but a social contract we abide by... if they dont serve us well we are not obligated to them." Nightpaw said mysteriously and decisively, looking away into the distance dramatically. Dashflash stared at him with shock.

Paisleyapw just kind of stood there. "No offense bro but wat are you fucking talking about." Then quickly he added "im allowed to swear because shinyleap and my mom are not here."

"Been reading philosophy stuff," Nightpaw said and then continued. Everyone had stopped wat they were doing to be involved in teh conversation and no one was looking at the border. "Who are we to judge those who break the warrior code as being evil, before knowing their reasons...?"

"LOOK OUTTTTT EVIL SHADOWCLAN CATS COMIN THRU!" a shrill very excited voice yelled interrupting us all.

What the dark forest, man.

.

~MEMORYPAW POV~

As i walked out of the Shadowcaln camp with teh rest of the patrol i ran up excitedly 2 Castlespectre and Bloodmoon. "HEYYY CASTTLEPAW BLOODPAW LONG TIME NO TALK! :D" i meowed happily at them. They were in teh apprentice den when i was apprenticd but becane warriors a few weeks later.

"Dd..dont... dont call me by my apprentice name," Castlespecter breathed sharply in that spooky voice of hers.

Bloodmoon just didnt say anything. Both of them walked forwardly a little faster 2 put distance between them and me.

Ugh. Jerks. Watever... I sighed disappointededly. Adults are so lame garbage.

Then Shatteredchauns came over to me 2 talk. "Dollstar told me that since you'r on this patrol, some1's aughta explain 2 u the DJ Treaty."

I turned to look at him confuzzledly. "Okey? Explain it!"

"So, several moons ago, Dollstra formed a treaty with an emisary of Thunderclan. This treaty was the DJ Treaty, adn it was a bargain to ensure peace between the two clans..."

Never mind this sounds boring! I dont CARE that we have a peace treaty with ThunderClan! Yeesh! Imnediately i started to tune out waht Shatterchains was saying. I pricked my ears forwards towards Casteldpecter and Bloodmoon to eavesdrop on them instead.

"...idk, man, I-i feel ssssorry for Memorypaw..." Castlespectre was mumbling 2 Bloodmoon.

Oh my fricking god theyre talking abt me behind my back! Or. wait. In front of my back bc theyre inf ront of me and im the one behind them.

"Doesnt mean we have to pretend to be all buddy-buddy with him." Bloodmoon said boredly. "He needs friends his own age. And also alive."

Whats wrong with haveing dead ghost friends in the Dark Forest?

"Mmmaybe iifff... EERIEBEAK was actualy good at her j-j-job, thered BE other living aprentices."

"Yea. Dollstars cool but she needds to drop the nepotism and demote Eerybeak b4 half the clan drops dead."

DONT INSULT DOLLSTAR, U JERKS! I thought upsetly. Shes the awesomeest leader ever and u kno it... also eeriebeak is ok iguess.

"...and that is why we are to remain peaceful at the ThunderCaln border." Shatterchains had finished explaining but i had barely been listening. "...Memorypaw?"

Ahead of me Casstlespectre sighed. "I-i still dont t-think everybody should just be... ffffine with, Memorypaw hanging out with T-3?" (taht was a nickname some cats used for Tigerstar 3. I never use it tho bc its stupid)

I had herd ENOUGH! "U GUYS DONT KNOW ANYTHING! UR JUST JEALOUS-"

"MEMORYPAW." Shateredchains hissed sharply. Every1 was staring at me now. "Did you listen to... a single thing i said?"

I groaned and sank my claws in2 the ground, looking away from everyone. "...yea yea dont attack Thunderclan bc we have peace with them or whutever."

Shatterchains rolled his eyes and then padded up 2 Bloodmoon and Castlespecter, bapping them both lightly on the head with his tail. "And you two shuld know better than to talk about a clanmate behind their back while theyre on the exact same patrol as u." Looking back over his shoulder, he gestured with his tail 2 me in a way that seemed both cheeky and exasperated. "Cmon now, we have a border patrol 2 do."

Enthusiazm came flooding back in2 my paws as i remenbered that. "O yea, right!" I sprinted huriedly to the front of the patrol, and walked along like a badass. (Shateredchains had to steer me in the right direction bcuz i did not know whwre the Thunderclan border was but other than that I was badass.)

After a little while of walking i picked up on a weird scent. Like cheap markers and goody-two-shoes-ness... O SHIT ITS THE THUNDERCLAN BRODER!AND... THERES THUNDERCATS THERE RITE NOW!

"Do you smell that, Memerypaw?" Shatteredchains asked.

I did not ansewr him because instead i was running ahead to where the border was, which im sure probably ansered his question well enough.

"LOOK OUTTTTT EVIL SHADOWCLAN CATS COMIN THRU!" i YELLED dramatically and intimidatingly as i ran over! My paws screeched to a stop as i reached whrre the border was, the Shadowclan side clearly marked with charcoal black as our clan's heartz.

I looked over the ThunderCaln patrol in front of me. There were two warrios and 3 apprentices. The wariors were a brown-blue longhair and a red-blue tabby (both looking very unimpressed. i would have to fix that!), and the apprenticys were a VERY startled looking black tom, a flowery blue tom who looked like he was abt to hit me in the face (good luck lol), and a... BLU TABBY WITH RAINBOW GRADIENT LEGS.

O SHIT... COULD IT BE? I thought shockedly. Finaly i meet my mortal enemy?!

Tiggerstar 3's voice echoed in my head. ("FUCK yes it is")

I grinned evilly at the thunderclan cats, who were currently just staring at me with varied levels of confused and bothered.

"...What in teh Moonpool are YOU looking at, dude?" the flowery one growled uncomfortably, pelt bristling.

Behind me the rest of my patrol ran up 2 me, Shaterchains looking frustrated, Bloodmoon looking mildly annoyed, and Castelspecter out of breath.

Shatteredchains scoldingly began "Memorypaw, please-"

He was interrupted by Bloodmoon tapping his shoulder and silently gesturing towards the blue-and-rainbow apprentice with their tail.

"Sssshhhiiiit." Shatteredchains stopped in his tracks, sighing deeply.

I looked back over to the blue-and-rainbow app, who shrunk a bit under my intense gaze. "Are u Leaderpaw?" i asked.

She didnt say anything, just standing there liek she didnt comprehend a word i said.

"Dont answer him, he cant be up to any good," the flowery one hissed 2 her in a way that I probly wasnt supposed 2 be able to overhear but i did anyways.

Jeez. Rude. "Of the prophecy?" I added.

The rainbow app jolted up, looking alarmed. "W-waht?! How do you know about-" Then quickly she cut herself off, trying 2 look more composed adn dignified all of the sudden. "...Yes, yes i am. Have i developed a reputation so q-quickly?" Her voice cracked, betraying her faux cool demeanor.

Wow... wasnt expecting my destined mortal enemy to be such a POSER.

Tigerstar 3 scoffed in my mind. ("Thatll just make it even more satisfying when u KICK HER ASS.")

Very tru!

The red-and-blu cat's fur puffed up, looking over at the rest of my patrol accusingly. "Shatteredchainz, waht is this about?!" (Teh brown-and-blue warrior gave her a quizzical look, and the black apprentice took a silent step back.)

Shatterdchains inhaled sharply, lookign suddenly uncharacteristicaly sheepish. "We're- we're very sorry, were really not trying to start anything, Memorypaw here is acting out on his own-"

"Damn rite i am!" I interupted evilly and then i did my best maniacal laugh. It came out very squeaky so i definitely need more practice though :(. Anyway i looked over to Leaderpaw and grinned "I am... YOUR PROPHECIZED MORTAL ENEMY! Tigerstar 3 has granted me the power 2 KICK UR ASS!"

Teh brownandblue cat looked at Leaderpaw absolutely exasperated and flabbergastted. "Ok, when were u going 2 tell me having a mortal enemy in Shadoclan was part of ur prophecy package too?!"

Leaderpaw just looked shocked and confused and distressed. "HEY! Tihs is new news to me, too!"

Wat. She seriously didnt kno about me? "Ummmm... Did firestar 2 or whoever it is in charge of good guy ptophecys not tell you?" I asked surprisedly.

She chuckled hysterically. "Oh, sure, like Firestar 2 has ever told me anything useful in my entire life!"

...Wow. Good guys are, uh, really fricking weird.

("I kno right?") Tigerstar 3 agreed.

The flowery app stepped as close 2 the border as he could without crossing it, glaring at me threteningly. "Villainous introductions are over.. can you GTFO so we can get back 2 doing our jobs now?" His claws glinted threateningly.

I just snickereled in his face. "Ur cruisin for a bruisin, wiseguy..." I tapped him on the nose with a claw. "But im not interested in fighting u. Im not allowed to start a war with Thunderclan for wahtever fricking reason so Leaderpaw is my only enemy... for now."

Bloodmoon groaned. "Hes got a point, tho. We arent here for your weird destiny rivalry." I just rudely flicked the tip of my tail at them. (AUTHOR NOTE: clan equivalent to flipping someone the bird)

Castlespecter nodded rapidly in agreement. "Y-yea, can we pplease not start shit that dddoesnt need to be s-started, or.."

"UGHHHH! None of u guys are my mentors! Or my parents! Or my leader or my deputy so none of u can tell me wat to do!" i snapped at them, lashing my tail. Its not even like im goig to kill her anyway... it would be super lame 2 have my final showdown with her b4 either of us have even reached top potential.

There was a poisonous fury creeping in2 Shateredchains's voice. "That may be true, but we are warriors, and youre an apprentice."

"Tigerstar 3 outranks u adn he says he wants me to fight Leaderpaw, so there." I sayd firmly.

"Tigerstar 3 is dead and in the Place of No Stars, so i dont care waht he says." Bloodmoon hissed in that sort of way where u can just tell they thought wat you said was moronic. (WHICH I RLY DONT APPRECIATE, BTW!)

The blue flowery cat stared jaw dropped. "Do u guys seriously just casually talk 2 the Dark Forest?!"

"Not all of us!" Bloodmoon snapped back. "I dont answer 2 any ghosts-"

Castlespectres tail twicthed uncomfortably. "Bbbro ur.. ur not making ShadowClan sound any bbetter..."

Leaderpaw finally spoke up again, sounding very unexpextedly intense. "You. Whatsyourname."

"Memorypaw," i corrected.

"Right. Memorypaw, are u saying youre here to challenge me?"

I flashed another evil grin, my eyes glowing silver. "Yeas."

.

~LEADERPAW POV~

"Yeas." my newfound arch-enemy replied with a fox-faced smirk.

Evry bone in my body wus screaming at me waht teh Dark forest are you DOING, what is WRONG with you? but my heart beat faster as i felt an electric excitment tingle thru my fur. I... i have a nemesis. I have a NEMESIS, Almost unconshiously i took a pawstep forward smiling deliriously.

"Leaderpaw," Featerglass called uncertinly, and then more insistently. "Leaderpaw. What are you doing?'

"Uh do we like, stop them?" Nightpaw mumbeled over the border 2 the Shadowclan cats, earning a kind of confuzzled look from Paisleypaw.

I met Memorypaws mirrorlike gaze. (His eyes were kind of creepy tbh.) "I accept ur challenge!" i hissed!

Instantly chaos broak out around us.

"Memorypaw, y-y-you cant be SERIOUSSSS-!" "Sis are u trying to start a war?!" "Leaderpaw, i am NOT allowing this behavior!" "Feathergalss, is ur apprentice always liek this?!" 'I KNEW dollstar letting u on this patrol was a bad idea!"

I felt my bravado begin 2 wither a litle as i shrunk under the judgemental gazes of teh other cats around me, tho Memrypaw looked more annoyed than anything.

"Ughhhh. Regular cats, amirite?" he muttered 2 me boredly. "Tehy just dont GET prophesies."

My wihskers twitched uncomfortbly. I didnt want 2 agree with him, but.. i kind of did. Starcaln told me i was special... Taht HAS to be for a reason, rite? I need 2 prove myself, and this meeting is clearly destiny... I worked my claws in the ground, focusing inwards, reaching in2 the core of my powers. a feeling of pulsing starlite, pushing to violently brake free... It cant be wrong to follow my destiny. They gave me it for a REASON! Im IMPORTANT! I only needed a litel bit of it. not enuff to hurt any1, just to... Yea... thats right... im IMPORTANT. Every1 else needs 2 just get over it! Id got it. Perfect.

I looked over 2 Memorypaw. "CLOSE ur eyes, bite on2 my tail and follow me." i hissed quietly to him while every1 still chattered over us. Seems liek theyd began to argue with each other, getting distracted.

"...Uhhh. wtfrick?" Memorypaw stared at me liek i just told him to eat bees.

"Just DO it!"

"Ok WAHTEVER weirdo," he sayed before tightly shutting his eyes and clamping his jaws on2 my tail harder than i wouldve liked (i had to surpress a squeak of pain, i didnt want to look embarassing right b4 my cool plan :/

Then in an instant i releazed teh bit of power i had stored, and there was nothign but a blinding white lite. In the ensuing panic i ran as fast as i could, making suure that Memmorypan was still following me. Only wehn the sound of pandemonuim died down did i stop, us both in a clearing of oak in ThundorCaln terrytory.

Mumoryapw tripped and fell on his face. "Can i PLEASE open my eyes yet."

"Ya go ahead."

He opend his eyes and pushed himself 2 his paws, luking around. "...Huh... ware are we?"

"Just soem place on ThunderCaln teritory."

"Heh... giving ur enemy a tour of ur territory isnt tht smart :3" He threateningly lifted up a pawful of claws which glinted relfectively in teh setting sun.

I just laughed as i droped in2 a fighting stance. No better tiem than now to see if ur training paid off, huh, Fetherglass? I felt a pang of guilt at my dirty trick earlyier but i ignored it to ride the adrenaline. Id have time to mull over regret 4 hours on end later. "I just didnt want an1 else interupting our prophecy fight."

Memorypaw gave another 1 of those scary sharp smiles of his. "Ohohohohoho... so u DO have a spine, hero-face! U SURE you dont wanna run away..?" he jeered.

"Actualy i do want to run away a lot. Im like compleetly freaking the fuck out over my own impulse control problems" Why did i say that.

"uhm. Okay i guess" He stood there staring confusedly. "Are we going to fight or"

"PLEASE."

"OKAY good i wasnt sure." Instantly his intensity was back. He struck a weird pose and started glowing adn i reflexively moved 2 dodge, but paused as i realizsed a dome of rippling darkness had just appeered over us.

"Waht. In teh moonpool. Is THIS" I asked mildly hysterically as i gestured at the darkenss.

Memorypaw did not look remotely perturbed in any way at all. "Cool right." I stared at him disbeliefingly and silently so he actually explained. "We are in.. A TIME BUBBLE. i made it with my evil powers i got from teh Plaece of no stars"

"a wh"

"Time gos faster in here then outside so we can duel as long as we want w/o any of our dumb clanmates stoping us!" he explaned further. "Cool, rite?" he sayed much more insistenlty this time.

THATS WAY COOLER ADN BETTER THAN MY POWER! WHAT THE FRICKING FUCK STARCLAN!

Sudenly i heard Firestar 2s voice ring out in my head sounding offended ("Leadypaw do i need 2 remind you that your supposed to unlock other powers LATER. I PROMISE we did not just give you exploding and nothing else")

Well excuse me for beig skeptical _

"I SAID. COOL, RIGHTT?" Memorypaw sudenly interrupted yellingly.

"YEA ITS COOL DONT YELL AT ME OK." i sharply breathed in claws flashing sharply. "Can we just fight now."

"I THOUGHT U WOULD NEVER ASK!" Memorypaw yelled and then SLAMMED INTO ME CLAWS OUT PAINFULLY KNOCKING THE WIND OUT OF ME AS I CARSHED TO THE GROUND. OWOWOWOWOWOW-

Immeditely i found myself in panic mode. Shit i ddint have any time to plan, this is- A SHARP TEAR ACROSS MY SIDE -oh Starclan i need to do somethign but my legs arent- YOINKED UP BY THE SCRUFF AND VIOLENTLY THROAWN SIDEWAYS IN2 A TREE -oWWW starclan DAMN IT OWW WHAT thhe dark forest am i DOI- i luked up from the painful heap i had slumped in2 to see Memorypaw charging at me grining maniacly, a spectral icy dagger formed arund his paw.

Now, i didnt think this in quite that many words at the time bcuz i did not have time, but tehryre were a cupple different thots flickering thru my head at the time:

1. Wehn u do nothing but practice teh same moves with ur mentor over and over wifout actualy learning to apply thos skills in a real battle, u do not learn how to fite well, but rather how 2 fight specificaly ur mentor. A crazed shadowclannie with powers from teh Place of No stars is VERY different from ur mentor.

2. Nevur take ur oponent for granted. I dunno wat the connection between time bubbles and a ice paw sword is, but obvs in that moment i realized i had NO IDEA wat teh fuck Memorypaw was capable of.

3. STARCLAN DAMMIT, HOW MANY WAY-COOLER-THAN-MINE POWERS DOES MY RIVAL HAVE? I AM GOIG TO KICK FIRESTAR 3'S ASS IF I DIE HERE

4. HOLY SHIT I NEED TO FUCKING DODGE THIS

Tho my actual thougts sounded a lot more like OH STARCLAN OH THUNDERSTAR AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Finaly gaining reaction time i twisted out of the way, the tip of the iceblade narrowly brushing aganst my wiskers as it punctured halfway thru the tree.

"Ohhhh, good, u finaly moved! Was starting 2 think u were already dead!" Memorypwa laughed b4 trying to pull the iceblade encasing his paw out of the tree. He strained aganst it with a grunt, it seemed pretty dam stuck in there.

My pelt bristled and i stared indignently. "So if i was ded U were gonna keep mangling my corpse?!"

He just blinked. "No kill liek overkill!" Then with a final heaving pull he tried 2 rip the iceblaed out of teh tree again. He failed and then just shrugged and waved his tail, causing it 2 dissipate in2 dark smog.

Hm. I thout to myself as he leapt at me with claws outstreched again. I realy should have took advantage of him beig stuck. Thankfuly tho my reflexs actually WORKED this time adn i dodged to the side quickly.

Memorypaw crashed 2 the ground but scrambled back 2 his paws in a second completely unpeturbed. "Is not fiting back like, a thunderclan thing, or wat?"

I swiped my claws at his face, he ducked under. Dont think- He lashed forward 2 knock my back legs out but i leapt upwards and on2 him, digging my claws into his back. -just go. He stumbled heavily towards a tree, slamming me up aginst it to get me off. If u overthink it- I kicked my legs out, sending him skidding across the ground. he scrabbled back up quickly, his left ear twitching disconcertedly tossing a drop of blood 2 the side. Apparently i'd nicked it. -youll embarass urself again.

"So u FINALY landed a hit on me!" meemorypaw laughed. I wasnt sure if he was taunting me or congratulating me. We started circling around each other, neither making teh first move yet. "So r ALL u ThunderClannies this slow 2 warm up?"

I scoffed, tail lashing "Ill have u kno my dad Ratmous is prety famouse for being 1 of hte most viscous fighters around the lake."

"Never herd of him. My parents are ded." Memorypaw sayd casually.

Taht made my drop my gard instantly. Im sorry waht? What kind of- u dont just SAY something like that,? "Im- uh- i,m sory to hear th-"

"Died in a ziplining acident, broke the warior code. Theyre in teh dark forest now." he continued sounding rly not that bothered by this despite that being very fuked up. "Its ok tho bc Dollstar made darkforest worship legal in Shadowclan so i get to visit them all dhe time."

"Uh"

"Jealous rite?"

"Not... not rly, no." i finaly sayed. Um that sounds kind of like a fucking problem acktualy

"2 ba gess!"

THEN HE LEPT UPWARDS TO TRY AND SLAM ON2 ME FROM ABOVE. But i wasnt goig to let him baffle and confuse and distrakt me agen. i rolled over adn took the hit, and tho the wind wus knocked out of me a lil i stil quickly clung onto him and raked my clawz down hte sides of his face and rapidly kicked my back legs. He wheezed adn nearly collapsed on2 me, but stood his ground and rapidly latched his claws around my throat. WTF, dude, i thot this was sposed to be nonlethal?! i responded by roling onto my side and throwing him offbalance. We began 2 tumble and wrestle in the grass, my sides begining to heave painfuly as his claws tore at my pelt.

Finaly he threw me on the ground, adn we began to match strikes blow 4 blow, claws flashing thru the air as we dodged each others attacks.

Damn... tihs guy is good, i thouht wearily.

.

~MEMORYPAW POV~

HAHA WOW this guy sucks! i thouht evilly as i mirroed her attacks tauntingly. I was scrached up a lot and it stung worse tehn a whole beehive of pain but tihs whole time id gone easy on her. I even stoped using my powers after she dodged the Hawkfrost Blade (name stil being workshopped)!

(Tigerstar 3 said 2 me ghostily "Yea, i know rite... its like firestar 2 didnt even train her"

Tehn another voice that was way less evil sounding apeared in my head. "Um.. i didnt. We dont usualy give personal training 2 prophecy cats")

WHAT TEH FRICK IS THAT FIRESTAR 2? GET OUT OF MY HEAD THIS IS 4 EVIL CATS ONLY

("HOW did u even get in here wtf" tigerstar 3 hissed panikly.

"U always leav the door wide open.")

MY BRAIN HAS A DOOR IN IT?

("metaphoricaly." firestar 2 quickly clarified)

Taht brain gohst conversation left me VERY distarcted and in an instant i found myself pinned 2 the ground by Leaderpaw with very litle strenght left in my legs. I squirmed 2 escaep while Leaderpaw just pinned me down looking very smug. Frick... fricking frick... firestar 2 did u DISTRACT ME ON PURPOSE so ur little herocat could win?!

("Ya lol." she giggled wich PISSED ME OFF btw.

Tigerstar 3 growled angryly. "Ohhhhh screw OFFFFFF"

"Its just evening the odds yknow.." she sighed. "Memorypaw has both moar fight trainign and better use of his powers. Tihs fight wasnt fair 2 begin with.")

wait. Hold up I stoped struggling. "Hang on do u have powers?" Id figured she did at first but like she never used any so i was startign 2 think she didnt but aparently she did?

Leaderpaws grip loossened and she lookd sudenly confused that i asked. Adn THEN sudenly she flushed embarasedly. "Uh.. yea i do, but..."

"Well tehn why arent u fricking USING THEM?!" i yelled feeling sudenly VERY offended! Dont fricking hold out on me like that! Waht kind of shitty rival did i GET?

("Lay off shes way more epic than U :(" Firestar 2 snarled)

"Its just that i um... that my power is erm... its just sort of..." Leaderpaw began to stammer weakly as she got off my back and put som distance between me adn her. "I just, uh.." Tehn she stood tall and intensely again all of a sudden. "...Do u want to see it."

"I mean. OBVIOUSLY" i hissed kind of getting bored. I betted taht her power was as lame as shed been shaping up 2 be.

Leaderpaw then slowly took a deep breth. "Ok. ...Ok. U mite want 2 take cover."

Tehn, around her appeared a rainbowy glow as her fur stood up and her eyes started shining. Slowly she began 2 float into the air and there was a sudden pressure in my entire body like the tension was pressing down on me. Wind began 2 rush across my fur liek teh air was being sucked up in2 Leaderpaw. Sudenly i felt very anxious.

(Both Tigerstar 3 and Firestar 2 YELLED loudely 2 me at the same time "MEMORYPAW MAKE A SHIELD RITE NOW")

I manifested a wall of stopped tiem in front of me and i slowly peeked upwards at leaderpaw. She was glowing liek a (very rainbowy) star caught on earth.

"Oh shit?"

.

~3RD PERSON POV~

Elsewere, wehere the Thundyclan and ShadoClan patrol had encounterd eachother, only a minute or two had passed outside the time bubble. Tehy had finaly managed 2 regain their senses and realized theyd been bamboozled.

Feathergalss drew in a deep angry breath. "LEADERPAW..."

"O-oh mmy starclan im. Immm so sorry abt all this i am SO ssorry," Casstlespecter mumbled apologeticly figeting with her claws. Bloodmoon had walked away 2 scream profanities at a tree.

"And agen i miss the fun part..." Paysleypaw hissed under his breth.

Nitepaw did not say anything at first, his wishkers quivering as he sensed smth very strange a little ways away. He felt an elektric chill down his spine. "...Guys," he said loudly enouf to get everyones attentoin and gestured with his tail. "Look over there," he pointed in the direction of (he did not know) Memorypaw and LeaderPaw.

"I dont see anything," Paisleypaw sayed. "What are u pointing a-"

THEN EVERY1 WAS VIOLENTLY KNOCKED BACK BY A LOUD BANG AND A WAVE OF HEAT AND WIND AS A MULTICOLURED MUSHROOM CLOUD ROSE UP FRUM TEH DISTANCE, LITLE BLACK CRACKS IN TEH SKY SPIDERWEBBING UP AROUND IT LIEK TREE BRANCHES AGANST A SUNSET. CHUNKS OF DIRT AND DEBRIS CAEM FLYING IN THER DIRECTIONS, ONLY NAROWLY DODGED.

"StarClan almitey, Leaderpaw," Featherglas hissed, torn betwen rage and concern.

Flassdash broke out of her horrorfied awestruck staring. "we... shuld go check that out."

.

~MEMORYPAW POV~

I mite have been tremblign wehn teh blast died down. MIGHT. Preeeetty sure i wasnt tho bc im never scared of anythign even geting horribly exploded. Slowly i stood up. Evin with teh wall of stopped time i created blocking most of teh explosion from hiting me, my fur wus still singed (but my fur is rly dark anyway so u coudlnt see it mostly)

Arund us teh time bubble had been unable 2 contain teh force of the explosion adn had broken apart. Timespace rips shreded thru the air wehre my time bubble used 2 be. I had no idea taht could even HAPPEN.

I slowley walked over 2 leaderpaw, who was laying on teh ground covered in soot. I poked her with my claw.

She lept up quickly "HEY DONT FUCKNG JAB ME, YEESH!" She jumped back a few feet adn looked around the clearing with dawning horror on her face. Or. wat was leftof it.

Teh area had been absolutely devastated. Wat litel grass was left was charred blacker than the dark forest ( i would know i go 2 the Dark Forest all the time) and teh surounding trees had been reduced to splinters. Good thing this is Thunderclan territory lol

"That... that good enogh 4 u?" Leaderpaw finaly said and shaked off the soot.

"THAT... WAS... EPIC!" i YELLED because that WAS in fact fricking EPIC. Explosions are aewsome!

"Well.." Leaderpw then colapsed to the ground, panting heavily and puting a paw to one of teh wicked scraches i inflicted on her. "good, cuz this is probably the only time u'll ever see it."

I stared. "Huh. Why"

Instantly her voice became a shrill hysterical hiss "...BECAUSE SILENTSTAR IS GOING TO FUCKIG KILL ME FOR THIS!"

Oh ya teh thunderclan leader will be mad that a ThunderClan cat destroeyd thunderCaln huh. Sucks 2 be her i guess

Tehn i crinkeld my nose as i smelled the sent of my clanmants and also more Thunderclan. Behind me i heard some1 yell "FORGET ABOUT SILENTSTAR, YOULL BE LUCKY IF U MAKE IT BACK 2 CAMP, LEADRPAW!"

"That ur mentor?" i asked

"Yea :/" leaderpaw sighed

"Ouch lol"

"Dosnt that mean ur clanmates r here too?"

I turned around and saw Bloodmoon louking like they were abt to throw me into a foxhole, whiel Leaderpaws clanmates ran past him to go check up on her. "Oh crap. Yea."

Castlespecter steped forward shakyly and scaredly be4 bloodmoon sayd anthing tho. "Yyyou... i dont know , WWWHATTT, u guys d-did, bbut.. you oughtto be ASSSHAMED of urself, Mmmmemorypaw,"

Hey the explosion wasnt my fault! Technicly I raised my paws disarmingly. "Dontworry guys its all on Tuhndercaln teritory its fine. Dollstar will think its cool"

"ARE YOU SERIO-" Bloodmoon began 2 snarl but they got cut off by Shateredchains

"Oh Starclan i think hes right." Shatterchains groaned exhastedly. "Com on, no point chewing teh kid out now in front of Thunderclan. We've got a wihle back to camp." He turned back in teh direction of shadoclan 2 lead the patrol home.

Over by Leaderpaw i herd her calnmates chattering woriedly to see if she was ok cuz taht explosion was rly big. Her mentor interrupted flatly with "Dont worry about the explosion... I already kno it didnt hurt her at all. Lets just get her back 2 the damn medic :/"

Someones in TROOOOUUUUBLEEEEEEE i lol'd. "Hey, arch enemy! Taht was fun!" i yelled over to her before folowing my clanmates. "Lets do this again sumtime!1"

Leaderpaw didnt say anything, just weakly smiled and nodded even as teh red-blu ThunderCaln warrior piked her up by the scruff and carried her away.

(My clanmates yelled nd complained at me teh rest of the way home. I just tuned them out adn had a chat with Tigerstar 3 about MineCraft greifing.)

.

~LEADERPAW POV~

Boy i really done fucked it up this time huh, i thout as i laid crumpled up in teh medic den. Aparently most of my injuries were superficil and maed strategicly 2 just hurt adn not kill, but OH MAN did they hurt. Part of me was pissed off teh thot that Memorypaw had just been toying with me teh whole time, but anotehr part of me was kind of hyped at the idea of getting to fite him again.. but NEXT TIME. NEXT TIME i wuld win effortlesly and prove every1 wrong that i realy AM worth teh hype.

...Mostly tho i was just thinking SHIT i am in SO much trouble

Lightpaw msut have seen the misery on my face bc she laughed liteheartedly and sed with a goofy smile "Haha, not 1 of ur britest ideas, huh?" Shed asked 4 the full scoop on waht had happened at the border as soon as she saw teh state i was in.

Ur NOT helping, i thot unpleasently and buried my face in my paws.

"Leave her olone, Litepaw." Rokrhithm said wif a sympathetic sigh.

'Hey, im just making smalltalk!" Lihtpaw said sounding exageratedly hurt. "She needs all teh distraction from her pain she can get!"

An awkwerd silence fel over teh den after that. I was almost reliefed when Fetherglass stepped in.

Almost.

Teh look of disapointment on ther face could freeze lava. "Are u well enouf to walk?"

I lifted up my head adn meekly nodded. ...I should have sayed no.

"Good. Silintstar adn Ratmouse want 2 see u outside." They walked back out of the den w/o a word, leving me to slowly get up and folow.

Slowley i crept outside. It feelt liek the hole clan was staring at me. Come on guys... it wus just 1 explosin in the name of starclan destiny or... something something liek that... Yea ok teh longer i thout abt it teh worse it sounded. as i sat down in front of teh hiledge, my mom Flowrdragon walked up and sat bside me.

"Theyr just jealous they dont have magical starclan destiny explosion powers ." Flowerdraggon hissed 2 me in a way that i think was uh supposed 2 be reasuring. "Dont let them think theyre better than u."

I stared. "Um. are YOU jealous that u dont have powers?"

She stared me ded in the eyes. "Yes. No. Maybe"

"um. ok"

Tehn we were interrupted by my dad yelling from teh highleg "CLAN MEETING GET UNDER THE HIGHLEDGE"

..Gess he didnt have it in him to do tha full address...

Cats gatherd around teh camp wihspering amongst tehmselfs. News travelled fast i gess.

Siletstar, standing tall on teh highledge, nodded 4 Ratmoose to continue.

"SO, as u may haev herd, a large swathe of our terytory has been decimated in a magical rainbow exploseion." He began adn instantly all eyes in teh camp were on me again. "As Featehrglass has said 2 every1, thsi is from the actions of 1 of our own."

Folwerdragon was shooting a deth glare at Fethergalss who didnt seem to care. Oh Starclan im fuel for their feud

"Our recent aprentice - anduhmydaughter - Leederpaw, who had snuck out 2 fihgt a SahdowClan aprentice who had chalenged her." he continued.

It wus a starclan destiny thing! Its not liek Firestar 2 told me no or anytihng! i thot desperatly, tho i didnt have teh strength 2 say it out loud.

"A misstep liek this especialy form an aprentice so young would usually just necesitate som scolding, but teh destruction caused today will haeve long reeching consequnces for the Clan, and as a result weve decided to- to uh... to-..." He froze, loking down at ware me and Flowerdragon were sitting. I was givign him my saddest kit eyes and Folwerdraggon was glareing at him adn making a neck slice motion. "...uh.. Leaderpaw is not goig to the gathering i gess. Thatsall."

Silentstar stared at him with a shocked look, and ratmouse just replied by poitning at me and my mom with his tail.

After a few long momence Silesntstar sighed "Meeting dismissed," and teh crowd dispersed, leavig me standing there w my mom, who after a few satisfid moments of havign "won" also walked away.

:(

Then sudenly Nitepaw walked up 2 me. "Hey, u alrite?"

Not even a little bit lol "I gess.. It coudlve been worse" i sighed

"well... If it makes u feel any beter, im not going 2 the gathering either" he said shruging noncomitally.

"..WAT?! Why?" i asked wideeyed. Who in teh world would pass up ther first gathering on PURPOSE?

"Personal reasons."

Wow thats the least informative anser possible. "Wel... i gess at least well both be missing out"

"ARE U GUYS SERIOUS?" ppaisleypaw interjected. Aparently he had been evesdropping. 'Ughhhh damn u guys, im gonna totally look liek a jerk if i go when u guys dont!" he walked over and sat down beside us. "Exciting stuff tends 2 only hapen around u anyway leaderpaw so wahtever. Guess im staying in camp ."

Tehn we realized Fairypaw was also eavesdropping. We all looked at her.

"WOAH dont look at me!" she raised her paws sheepishly. "Im not siblings with u guys and ive got friends in teh other clans! Im still going!"

"WELL u better tell us EVERYTHING ok!" Paisleypaw yelled playfuly but seriusly.

We all laughed. I was still upset over mmy misteak, but things were goig to be ok.

.

~MEMORYPAW'S POV~

"So u... picked a fight with ur 'destined rival' and got her to blow up half of Thunderclan teritory?" Dollstar slowly asked as i sat in her den awating judgement.

I did nothing rong but i stil figeted uncomfortbly. Dollstar could be RLY intimidating wen she wanted 2 be. "Uhh... ya."

"But ThunderClan's not mad at u? Theyre just mad at their apprentic for exploding?"

I nodded.

"Did you win?"

Hm... DID i win? Im not sure… it was kind vague I had 2 think abt it a little. Finaly i ansered "I walked home wihle my rival had 2 be carried home so i wuld say YES!"

"Thats fucking sick. Kudos to u little freak" She gave me a pat on teh head. "Now get outta here adn get som sleep. ur goig to the gathering tomorow night w every1 else."

I RAN OUT OF TEH LEADERS DEN SUPER HAPPY EXCITED. "FRICK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH!1!111!"

Shaterchaines bloodmoon and Castlespeckter who had been waiting outside all groanded miserably

"Its official u cant complain my actions have NO consequences" i smiled at them evilly.

"I hate this." Bloodmoon growled

I ignored them all and ran into teh apprentice den, jumping excitedly in2 my nest (it was made of the coolest most goffic looking plants i culd find) Instantly in zero seconds i fell alseep

In moments i dreamed in2 the Place of No Stars where i went almost evry night. Tigerstar 3 was there eyes coolly glowing orange and blue (he has heterophobia in his eyes) We hi fived!

"AEWSOME fite today. this is why you r WAY more epic than Firestar 2s crappy baby gang :D" he said aweosmely and we both evil laughed. "Do u want 2 lern more illegal attacks now"

"FRICK YEAH i do!" i said evilly but tehn i got a bit distracted. I looked over 2 see a not-gost-y looking redandblack cat with horns. "Hey who teh frick is that-" i pointed at him and he disapeared in2 the shadows.

Tigerstar 3 shruged. "Tahts deviltail hes a windclannie whos around sometimes. He doesnt do anything but watch tho idk wtf his deal is."

"Oh. Ok. Borign. Lets trane now"

"yea"

.

~LEADERPAW POV~

I awoke (still sleeping?) driftign in an expanse of starlite and clouds. "Oh shit am i havign a starclan dream"

A mystical plume of fire desended form above and twisted around in2 the shape of a cat, disipating 2 reveal Firstar 2. "Yup! I wanted 2 tel u abt the prophecy in shadoclan"

I stared incredulusly. A LITTLE LATE FOR THAT HUH? "I. Noticed"

"Yea so im just gona give u the tl;dr: memorypaw is sposed 2 "strike u down" and "unleash teh power of darknes". I kno that sounds prety bad but its also prettty vague so we got a lotta wiggle room 2 make sure u dont die violencely." Firestar 2 explaned very quickly and casualy leaving me no time 2 interupt.

I just continuued staring grinding my teeth. "...Okay. So. Dos this liek, hapen a lot?" i finaly asked. She did seem vary familiar with how prophacies worked. Is it just a StarCaln thing?

Firestar 2 shruged calmly. 'Propesiese in general, ya. Dark Forest evil prphecies, no." She flicked her tail dismisively. "But thats 2 our advantage. We good guys have a LOT of practice throwing propheces at problems, wihle since tigestar 3 is so new 2 this im sure itll backfire on him."

I blinked adn tilted my hed. "It never backfires on u guys?" SURELY it was not part of teh plan for me to blow up my own Clans terytory.

"Nope! Never!" Firster 2 grinned and tehn sudenly looked more unsure. "...Ok, well, sometimes ocasionaly once in a wihle. But it usally works out so dont wory abt it-"

SUDDENLY I FLINCHED AS I HERD A BATTLE SCREECH RING OUT ADN SAW A DARK FOREST CAT SLAM IN2 FIRESTAR 2, ADN THEN A BUNCHOF OTHER DARK FOREST CATS RUSHED IN W A BLUE AND GRAEY TABBY WITH A SPARKLEY SEAFOAM STRIEPD SCARF AROUND HER NECK STANDING AT THE LEAD LOOKIGN EVIL AND MENACING! ELECKRITICYT CRAKLED AROUND HER!

"It ends here." teh electirc bluegray cat hissed looking at me murderusly.

OH, STARCLAN, wtf did I do?! Why teh dark forest is teh entire dark forest after me?! I leapt 2 the side huriedly as a bolt of litening struck at me just barely missing.

A bunchof StarClan reinforckments ran in attaking hte crowd of Darkforest cats wihle i quickly scrambled 2 find cover, hiding under a starry bush. Unfortuntly since starCaln was gostly everything was vageuly see-thru. My hart felt liek it was abt to beat out of its chest as teh bluegray cat pushed thru the crowd towardz me, claws glowing whitehot and arcing with lithtning. Tihs was gonna hurt.

From behidn her i saw Firestar 2 throw teh cat who atacked her off and pushign others away with a ring of fire arund herself, standign 2 her full height. "Uve got SOME FREAKING NERVE pulling tihs crap on StarCaln turf, Stormdreeam!"

Teh electrik cat (stormdream) called back over her shulder "SHUT UP" and blasted Firestar 2 with a stormcloud. Tehn she contineud to walk towards me, her entire pelt begining to shimer with a dangerous light beneath teh DarkForest darkness.

i pressed as flatly aganst the bush as i could as if taht would do anything. Im fucked

Tehn a miracle hapened - some other Dark Forst cat with rusty silver fur tripped sideways in2 Stormdrem adn knocked her 2 the ground, tehn bbegining to apologize profusely. "SORRY! SORRY!"

Stormdram shoved them 2 the side with a hiss "RAZORFABLE. Dont get in my fucking way-"

"But SLUSHIEHART is here!1" they franticaly responded (tho smth abt their panic looked forced 2 me?)

Strmdream breathed in sharply adn turned arund 2 look for whoever taht was. "Shit. Shit, wehre?!"

Tehn, around us, ther was a MASSIVE avalanche of stardust, swerving 2 avoid me and any starclan cats but slamming in2 nearly all teh Dark Forst cats, sweeping them away. All taht remained was Stormdream and Razorfable (teh later of wihch franticaly glanced around b4 running away.)

Up above us in a stary tree was a greenandcyanandwhite cat who smirked coolly. "Right here."

"Get over here so i can SHRED ur sorry spectral ass." Stormdream hissed darkly wif narowed eyes.

"Ok!" Slusiehart hopped down in frotn of her and steped forward and now stormdream wus surounded on all sides by cool and powerful Starclan cats. "Cmon now buddy, this rly isnt worth double-dying over."

"Do NOT. call me. Your BUDDY." she hissed hatefuly tho she was backing away.

"Yeesh. Touchy" slushieheart rolled his eyes "I see ur still wareing my scarf tho" he gestured with his tail at the scarf she had

"Shut up."

WHAT IS THE DRAMA HERE. I AM SO CONFUSED i internally SCREAMED

Firestar 2 made a shooing motion with her paw. "Just get outta here worstie, we rly dont wanna fade u over tihs"

"SHE WANTS TO KILL ME THO?" I PROTESTED "SHE BROKE INTO STARCLAN TO KILL ME?/?"

"Haha ya she just kinda dos this with Starclan propheci cats. Shes got issues" Slusieheart sayd litheartedly as if tath wasnt TERRIFYING "Go back 2 ur evul scheming frends or watever it is u do these days."

Stormdream turned away lowly mutering probably some very unkind thigns, before breaking in2 a furios sprint away.

Slowly i crept out frum under teh bush. "THAT SEEMS LIKE KIND OF A FUCKING PROBLEM."

Firestar 2 shruged. "Well shes never SUCEEDED at killign a prophecie cat, so dont worry abt it too hard. Anywayz we shuld prolly end this dream soon just in case Tigerstar 3 decides 2 ALSO lead a raid or smth, lol"

I just stared in horror as teh starclan dream faded and i sliped back in2 normal sleep.

Is NOTHING ever easy?
