Episode 1

"Hello and welcome to ThunderClan Action News," Icecloud introduced in a news anchory voice. "I'm Icecloud and this is Berrynose coming to you live from ThunderClan."

"I thought we talked about this," Berrynose whispered. "I told you to introduce me as 'the wonderful, fabulous, amazing Berrynose.'"

"Berrynose, you're live," Mousewhisker sighed from behind the camera.

"What! Nobody told me!" Berrynose exclaimed.

"I literally just said we were live," Icecloud said. "Anyway, there's a lot of stuff that's happening in ThunderClan and all the Clans. It's easier to show you than explain it. Foxleap is on the scene."

"Why did I agree to this?" Foxleap sighed, now on camera.

"Because I'm your sister and you love me and this has always been my dream," Icecloud told him. "Now Foxleap, what seems to be up?"

"Well, the lake has almost dried up! Look at the size of it!" Foxleap exclaimed. "No one really knows what happened, but I've heard some theories."

"Like what, Foxleap?" Icecloud asked.

"Well, let's ask a local!" Foxleap exclaimed. "Ma'am! Sir! Can I have a moment of your time?"

"Uh, sure?" Brackenfur replied with Sorreltail by his side.

"Why do you think the water is missing?" Foxleap asked.

"I think StarClan stole our water because ShadowClan is evil and so they are punishing all of us," Sorreltail answered.

"What an interesting take!" Foxleap exclaimed. "What about you, sir?"

"It's a drought," Brackenfur insisted. "There's no reason to theorize. And what are you doing? Shouldn't you be on patrol?"

"Let's ask this man over here what he thinks," Foxleap said, ignoring Brakenfur. He spotted Spiderleg. "Sir! Why do you think the water has vanished?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Spiderleg asked. "Leopardstar has RiverClan smuggling water to create their own lake they don't have to share!"

"What did you just say about RiverClan?" Mistyfoot growled.

"And what are you doing so close to RiverClan's puddle?" a background RiverClan warrior no one knows the name of asked menacingly.

The two of them jumped on Spiderleg and a brawl broke out.

"Uh, it seems this mystery will remain unsolved," Foxleap said hurriedly. "Back to the studio."

"Guess we're not seeing Spiderleg get beat up on camera today," Berrynose remarked. "Though it would sure be interesting. Am I right, Icecloud?"

"Why did I agree to let you be a news anchor?" Icecloud asked.

"Because I'm paying you," Berrynose reminded her.

"Well, anyway, what do you think about these theories?" Icecloud asked.

"I think they are fox-dung," Berrynose replied. "If StarClan is punishing us all because of a Clan, it would be WindClan!"

"Well, I know of one other theory," Icecloud said. "A local apprentice claims to have discovered the cause to our crisis. Lionblaze is on the scene."

The feed cut to Lionblaze. "Woah, I'm on TV! Cool!" Lionblaze exclaimed. "Hi Squirrelflight! Hi Brambleclaw! Hi Jayfeather! And hi Cinderheart~"

"Get on with it," Hazeltail sighed from behind the camera.

"Oh! Right!" Lionblaze exclaimed. "Today I'm with Dovepaw who claims to know what happened to the water. So Dovepaw, what happened to the water?"

"Beavers happened," Dovepaw whispered.

"Care to explain?" Lionblaze asked.

"The beavers built a dam that's blocking all our water. We need to go and tear it down to save our lake and the Clans," Dovepaw explained.

"And what is a beaver?" Lionblaze asked.

"Uh, it's this big brown fuzzy creature with two buck teeth and a waffle for a tail that eats wood," Dovepaw answered. "And they are pure evil!"

"Sounds dangerous," Lionblaze stated. "And how do you know this?"

"Oh! I have su—" Dovepaw began. Jayfeather grabbed her before she could finish and dragged her out of sight.

"You heard it here first, folks," Lionblaze said. "Dovepaw eats supreme pizza for breakfast which allows her to get visions from StarClan. Back to you at the studio!"

Icecloud stood there, staring at the camera in confusion, not being able to respond to such a ludicrous statement.

"Breaking news!" Berrynose exclaimed. "Lionblaze is a mouse-brain!"

"I wanted to make ThunderClan Action News since I was a kit and this is the cats I'm working with?" Icecloud asked. "Oh StarClan, help me."

"Well, while Icecloud has a mental breakdown, let's take a look at the weather!"

The camera cut to Jayfeather. "How do you expect me to do weather?" he asked.

"I don't know, can't StarClan send you the forecast?" Mousewhisker asked from behind the camera. "Or you can check AccuWeather. It's a pretty reliable app."

"StarClan doesn't work like that and I can't check a weather app because I'm blind!" Jayfeather snapped. "I never even agreed to this."

"Well, what's the weather going to be?" Hazeltail asked.

"How are you both the only two cats on the camera crew and manage to be at each location to film?" Jayfeather asked. "Actually, never mind! I don't care! It's going to be rainy for the next year. There. Leave me alone."

"It's sunny outside though," Hazeltail said.

"Do I look like I care?" Jayfeather asked. "No. Leave and let me do my work."

It cut back to the studio. Icecloud had her head down on her desk.

"Hey, don't worry Icecloud," Berrynose told her. "We already have two whole viewers!"

"Are Dustpelt and Ferncloud watching this at home?" Icecloud asked, looking up.

"Er, no, just Ferncloud," Berrynose answered. "But Daisy is watching this! Hi Mommy!"

Icecloud began sobbing.

"Um, let's go to where Lionblaze is on the scene," Berrynose announced.

Lionblaze looked up from his phone. "We're live? I thought my segment is over!" he exclaimed. "What am I supposed to do?"

"Make something up!" Berrynose exclaimed.

"Who wants to watch me play Minecraft?" Lionblaze asked. He turned his phone to the camera. "See this? This is my house. And this is a skeleton. Wait, a skeleton? Oh no…" The skeleton killed Lionblaze. "Fox-dung…"

Ivypaw ran in front of the camera. "See Dovepaw? Now I'm on TV and you're not!" she exclaimed victoriously. "Dovepaw is stinky!"

"Hey, you're not supposed to be on here! This is the 'Lionblaze Plays Minecraft' segment!" Lionblaze shouted. "Shoo or I'll call security!"

"What security?" Ivypaw asked.

"Me," Lionblaze said. He punched Ivypaw. She ran off sobbing. "Whatever, you guys wanna watch me mine for diamonds?"

"Cut back to the studio!" Icecloud screeched.

"Yeesh, fine," Lionblaze said. "You all can watch my YouTube channel. I'm LionPlayz334. Back to the studio."

"Sorry for that," Icecloud apologized. "I'm feeling better and am determined to make this be the best it can be despite the crew it is made up of."

"Hey!" Berrynose exclaimed.

"In fact, to encourage everyone to behave, there will be a prize for Crew Member of the Year if we can reach an 100th broadcast!" Icecloud exclaimed.

"That will totally be me!" Berrynose exclaimed.

"It could be anyone depending on how everyone acts!" Icecloud exclaimed. "So let's see if I can make it that long without beating my head off the wall!"

"I'll be the best new anchor ever, I promise," Berrynose told her.

"I doubt that because I'll be the best," Icecloud responded. "Anyway, in other news we got some footage of two cats getting stuck in the mud earlier. They must have bees for brains! Right, Berrynose?"

"Yeah, who would do something like that?" Berrynose asked before realization dawned on him. "Wait! Don't play the footage! Don't play the footage! I don't want to be embarrassed on live television!"

"Then what have you been doing this entire time?" Mousewhisker muttered. Hazeltail snorted.

"And that's all that we have time for today," Berrynose hurriedly told the audience. "But stay tuned! The Warrior Network has some interesting programs next! We'll be back at the same time tomorrow bringing you the latest and greatest news. Only on ThunderClan Action News."

The credits rolled. Underneath the credits was the footage of Berrynose and Spiderleg stuck in the mud while Thornclaw had to save them. Berrynose was mortified.
