The next night was a Gathering. Firestar chose himself, Graystripe, Sandstorm, Brakenfur, Cinderpelt, Spiderpaw, Sorreltail, and Leafpool to go to the Gathering. For some reason, Firestar dug up his old kitty-pet collar and hung his tooth around it, wearing it to the Gathering. When he got there, he leaped onto the High Rock where Tallstar, Leopardstar, and Blackstar were sitting and talking. Below them, many cats chatted and shared tounges.
Tallstar started, looking curiously at Firestar's collar, for Firestar hadn't worn it for several years.
"Cats of all Clans, welcome to this Gathering underneath the full moon and Silverpelt. Now the leaders will share their news after I announce my Clan's. WindClan has grown very strong these past few days and as leaf-bare is coming up, we would still like no attacks for our prey. Thank you."
He stepped back as Leopardstar and Blackstar shared their new until it came down to Firestar.
Firestar cleared his throat and started off,"Cats of well, all Clans... I am sorry if I bothered you for a dentist because it turns out that while my dentist was chasing me about to rip my head off," He glared at Blackstar, "I tripped and my tooth came out and I am wearing it on my kitty-pet collar right now."
The Clans murmured protests but it was silent.
Suddenly, a shout echoed out,"I want Firestar's tooth!"
Sandstorm jealously leaped onto the High Rock and snatched Firestar's tooth,"It's probably worth tons of prey!"
Then Blackstar frowned and took it from Sandstorm,"Since my medicine cat got his tooth out, well not really, I should have it!"
Graystripe argued, leaping up to steal it from Blackstar,"I'm his best friend so I should have it!"
Firestar got it back,"It's my tooth, so I should keep it!"
There was a silence until all the cats at the Gathering were leaping onto Firestar trying to get his tooth, since it wasn't common for a cat to loose their tooth.
Cries rang out in the night,
"It's mine!"
"No, Mr. Toothy is mine!"
"I have it now!"
"And I just stole it from you!"
"I want Mr. Toothy!"
"No, I want the fang, more!"
Suddenly, a green light shined in every cats' faces.
The familiar UFO hovered above them until Tigerclaw grinned,"MUAHAHAHAHAHA! Mr. Toothy is mine now!"
He beamed the fang up to him and he roared with laughter, floating away.
Everything was quiet again. The Firestar turned to Sandstorm,"Thanks a lot, Sandstorm."
"Any time, Firestar." She smiled and padded back to camp with the other cats from ThunderClan grumbling behind her saying things like "I wanted it and now it's gone" or "It's all your fault that Tigerclaw came" or "I can't believe it! I almost had it..."
The Gathering, as you now know, ended early that night and Firestar was very mad at Sandstorm.
He stormed into the warrior den and found Sandstorm sleeping already but he heard some noises.
"My preciousssss...She'sss mine..."
"Huh?" Firestar raised his eyes and he saw Brambleclaw hovering over this small object.
"Hey! That's my tooth!"Firestar yowled and tackled Brambleclaw.
"How'd you get it from Tigerclaw, you thief?"
"It's not your tooth! Squirrelflight gave it to me! It's a ring!"
Firestar stood silent and still, narrowing his eyes,"What for?"
"Because today's my birthday!"
"Oh, goodnight. And sorry." Firestar yawned and padded into his den.
Brambleclaw snarled as his leader slinked out of the warrior den and then Brambleclaw looked back at the tooth in his hand. Little purple wings sprouted from his back and then Brambleclaw said in a Darth Vader wheezing voice,"Firestar...I...AM...THE TOOTH CAT!MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
