Yeah I forgot about this again huh, as you could probably tell. Not too happy that this is a shorter song/not so high on my list, I'd rather have posted more of a banger for a maybe-revival of this but alas it was the next one in my list. So, this'll have to do.
The summary of what's presumably happened since the last song:
"With Graystripe and Fireheart's friendship put back together, Graystripe has started to tease Fireheart about him and Sandstorm's developing relationship. Yellowfang and Cinderpaw, being Fireheart's other closest friends, naturally join in, but they're interrupted by Tigerclaw."
THE STORY OF TONIGHT (REPRISE)
[GRAYSTRIPE]
I may not live to see more glory!
[FIREHEART & YELLOWFANG & CINDERPAW]
I may not live to see more glory!
[GRAYSTRIPE]
But I've seen wonders great and small!
[FIREHEART & YELLOWFANG & CINDERPAW]
But I've seen wonders great and small!
[GRAYSTRIPE]
And if Sandstorm and the tomcat can be merry…
[YELLOWFANG & CINDERPAW]
And if Sandstorm and Fireheart can be merry…
[GRAYSTRIPE]
There's hope for ThunderClan after all!
[CINDERPAW]
Think about your freedom
[GRAYSTRIPE & YELLOWFANG]
Hey!
Something you might never see again!
[GRAYSTRIPE]
No matter what she tells you
[CINDERPAW]
Let's do one more round tonight
[GRAYSTRIPE]
Here's some cheers to the four of us!
[CINDERPAW & FIREHEART]
Ho!
[YELLOWFANG]
To ours amours and more of ours!
[YELLOWFANG & GRAYSTRIPE & CINDERPAW]
Woo!
[CINDERPAW]
We'll tell the story of tonight
[GRAYSTRIPE]
Let's have another round-
[FIREHEART]
Well, if it isn't Tigerclaw, sir
[TIGERCLAW]
Sure!
[FIREHEART]
I didn't know you were awake
[TIGERCLAW]
I endure
[YELLOWFANG & CINDERPAW]
Sir!
[TIGERCLAW]
I came to end your celebrations
[YELLOWFANG]
Spit a verse, sir!
[TIGERCLAW]
I see the whole gang is here
[GRAYSTRIPE]
You are the worst, sir!
[FIREHEART]
Ignore them. I'm sorry if we're getting too fraternal
I keep forgetting you're not ShadowClan and as such not nocturnal
[TIGERCLAW]
No, you're not
[CINDERPAW]
Sure he is
[TIGERCLAW]
Now, be sensible
From what I hear, sleeping is indispensable
[GRAYSTRIPE]
Well, well, I heard
You're doing something special on the side, sir
[YELLOWFANG]
Is that so?
[CINDERPAW]
What are you tryin' to hide, sir?
[FIREHEART]
I should go
[TIGERCLAW]
No, these guys should go
[CINDERPAW]
Huh?
[GRAYSTRIPE]
No!
[FIREHEART]
…Leave us alone
[YELLOWFANG]
Man…
[TIGERCLAW]
It's alright, burr. I don't think that I will murder you tonight, burr.
[FIREHEART]
You're very kind, but we both know it's unlawful, sir
[TIGERCLAW]
What do you mean?
[FIREHEART]
The code forbids it
[TIGERCLAW]
Eh?
[FIREHEART]
It literally says to not do murder.
[TIGERCLAW]
I'll admit…
Go to sleep, "noble" warrior. Be quiet more
I'll see you on the other side of our war
[FIREHEART]
I will never understand you
If you love ThunderClan, be a good winner. The code shouldn't be ignored.
[TIGERCLAW]
I'll see you on the other side of our war
[FIREHEART]
I'll see you on the other side of our war
A few notes on the song like I've done in the past-
[CINDERPAW] Think about your freedom / [GRAYSTRIPE & YELLOWFANG] Hey! / Something you might never see again! - With this part, I'm just hinting at the fact that Cinderpaw still likes Fireheart, and while she won't directly speak out, she's trying to subtly encourage Fireheart to rethink pursuing a relationship with Sandstorm. Meanwhile Graystripe and Yellowfang are both delighted and speaking from their own experiences.
And - [FIREHEART] Ignore them. I'm sorry if we're getting too fraternal / I keep forgetting you're not ShadowClan and as such not nocturnal - just a low dig on Fireheart's behalf with the ShadowClan-is-evil stereotype and as such Tigerclaw must be ShadowClan, also just Tigerclaw does associate with ShadowClan a lot to be honest.
Kudos to my buddy Riv who noticed this when managing her author alert stuff or whatever and mentioned it to me in passing. Like always, credit for my ability to post this goes to Riv as I am an obedient wimp.
