Mom was going to take us but we wanted to have a sleepover with Whitepaw so Brightheart is taking us and since the gathering is tomorrow, after practice mom is going to give us some clothes to wear for the gathering. "I want strawberry ice cream!" Whitepaw tells her mom once we get inside of the icy style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Oh me gosh! I want that strawberry icy!" Squirrelpaw says, pointing at the strawberry shaved ice with slices of strawberry on style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"That does look good. Okay what do you want, Leafpaw?" Brightheart asks style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Um, the same thing as Squirrelpaw I guess." I tell style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Ok. May I have two strawberry shaved ice and one strawberry—"br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Mom I actually want em style="box-sizing: border-box;"rolled /emstrawberry ice cream!"br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"—and one rolled strawberry ice cream please?" Brightheart asks and then gives money to the worker./p

I forgot to get my sport clothes!" Whitepaw panics and looks through her backpack again. Brightheart sighs and says, "It's fine, it's only 4:20 we can make it home and back in time but only if we hurry."br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Ok," Whitepaw sighs in relief and continues, "But can we also please brush our teeth? I don't know about theirs but mine is pink." she asked Brightheart and smiled showing her light blue braces and her teeth which were style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Yes sure," Brightheart sighs./p

I felt someone behind me wrap their arms around me and I immediately knew it was Feathertail because she's the only person who does that and I of course recognised her style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Feathertail!" I style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Wanna be in the same stunt group?" she asks me. "The people in my old stunt group weren't my actual friends, so wanna ask Mousefur if we can?" she asks style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Sure!" I say style="box-sizing: border-box;" /After we asked Mousefur if we could be in the same stunt group, we started to style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Alright, this middle split is really starting to hurt. Lets do something else." she said as she got out of the splits and stumbled style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Yeah. Wanna play add-on?" I style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Sure! you go first." add-on is a game we play where for example the first person will do a cartwheel, and then the other person would add a back handspring, and it keeps going on until one person messes style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Okay." I say as I start off with a round off. Feathertail adds a back-handspring, then I add a back walkover, she adds a cartwheel, I add a front walk over, she adds another back walk over, I add a back handspring, and then she adds a back walk over which I fall out style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Hey, that went on longer than I expected!" she style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Yeah I know! it was a decent combination too."br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Yeah. What was it? round off back handspring, back walkover, cartwheel, 2 front walkovers, and then a back walkover?"br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Yeah something like that." I giggled. Then I realized Mothwing wasn't style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Where's Mothwing?" I ask style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Oh, she said she would be late."br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Thank StarClan! I thought she wasn't going to come."br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Yeah. I didn't think she would ether because of how stressed out she was about what other people thought. She called me at 3AM last night because she was afraid about what the girls on the RiverClan cheer team would think," she continued, "But who she really should be worried about is ShadowClan. They hate half-Clans for some reason. The first year I was here they sent me the worst looks." she scowled. "Don't tell her I said that, though," she told me, and I style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Um I think we should line up over there," Feathertail said, pointing to where everyone was lined up against the style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Yeah, probably." I said and we both got up and walked over to the style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Okay, Tawnypelt you and Feathertail are the same height, and Leafpaw was wanting to be in your stunt group," Mousefur said, pointing at Feathertail. "So now- you have been a flyer, right?" she asks style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Yes." I style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Okay so now you need a back spot, but there's no one left..."br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Sorry I'm late," Mothwing said, smiling once she'd saw style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"It's okay, where you a back spot?" Mousefur style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Yeah, but only sometimes. Most of the times I was front spot." Mothwing style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Ok. Your going to be in Feathertails stunt group. and your going to be their front spot." She said pointing at someone I've never met before./p

"Feathertail, you know which side ur on, Mothwing back, Tawnypelt left. Leafpaw flyer, show me a regular stunt." she told us. I nod and give Feathertail my foot. When Feathertail lifted me up, Tawnypelt lifted me up a little to fast and I lost my balance. I felt Mothwing's hands slips off of my ankles as she tried to catch me, but her hands couldn't get a grip and I almost fell on Feathertails face. "Are you okay?" Mousefur asked me and I style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"I'm so sorry I couldn't catch you!" Mothwing style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Tawnypelt, do you know what you did wrong?" Mousefur asked style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"I lifted her up too fast."br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"You lifted her up too fast, so try to be a little slower next time." Mousefur suggested and Tawnypelt nodded. "Alright, lets try this again. Ready?"br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /With my hands on Feathertail's and Tawnypelt's shoulders, my foot in Feathertails hand and Mothwing's hand on my waist, I take a deep breath and nod. I don't know why, but when I have new bases, I always get nervous. "Do you guys want me to count?" She asked and I nod. "Okay, 5, 5 6 7 8, 1 2 3 4,"—I straightened my leg, and gave Tawnypelt my other foot and pushed up—"Up, 5 6 7 8! Good job!" She said. "Alright, lets try with your hands in a V shape." I moved my hands from my hips to up in a V shape. "Okay, I think you'll be the one with the hands on your hips between—you can come down now—Maplepaw's and Sunpaw's stunt group, I think that would work..." she said as she wrote something down in a notebook. "Alright, you go sit down now." I went to sit down with Squirrelpaw. "Leafpaw! Me and Whitepaw are in the same stunt group!" She said style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Wait, are you both bases?" I ask. When we were minis Whitepaw was a base, and Squirrelpaw was a flyer even though she didn't want to style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Good! Maybe this time you wont dread practice so much."br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"I didn't dread practice, I only dreaded the stunt part!"br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Well whatever, anyways are you excited about the gathering tomorrow?" I ask, watching the other stunt style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Yeah, but i'm most excited about our sleepover!"br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"What sleepover?"br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"...We're having a sleepover with Whitepaw, remember?" Squirrelpaw reminded style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Oh, yeah. I am too." I said, almost laughing as the stunt group had done the same thing we did. "You can't laugh—"br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /"Come down here for tumbling!" Mousefur called before she could say anything./p

Who else loves chicken and dumplings? I do but I'm gluten free. I found out when I was 6 but I used to cheat...sometimes...before March (I know that because I didn't want my stomach to be hurting while I was playing softball. I am now fully gluten free. Except for when I ate coco puffs this morning because there is no gluten free food AT ALL in my house.)br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /Anyways, expect the next chapter to be a Cousin Sleepover! To be honest I em style="box-sizing: border-box;"kinda/em wish that Whitewing, Squirrelflight, and Leafpool had cousin bonding moments. Oh and fun fact, Aug 15th was supposed to be Squirrelpaw and Leafpaw's birthday, but since the 15th is my bday I decided to change it to the 27th (Is that what I said?)./p
