"Wakey Wakey," a cat softly called to me.
I gave a small groan and buried myself deeper into the grass.
There was a small thump in front of me, "Crowfeather brought you a nice, fresh, warm rabbit."
I just buried my head into my paws, "Go away, I'm tired."
"Some cat come quick! Spiritfeather is bleeding!" someone gasps.
"Out of my way!" I heard Jayfeather snap.
The blind eyed tom rolled me over onto my back, I gave no resistance.
"She opened her wound on her stomach again!"
"How'd she hurt her stomach?" I heard Bumblestripe ask, he was probably tilting his head in confusion.
"Tigerstar," a short answer.
"Woah Woah Woah! Wait!" Bumblestripe yelped. "Tigerstar? The one who saved her from the lake?"
Jayfeather let out an exasperated sigh, "Yes him."
The medicine cat put cobwebs on my wound then rolled me back onto my side. I opened my eyes to take in everything around me.
"She's awake," Leafpool meowed.
"I've been awake," I grunted. "My eyes were just closed, thats all."
Every cat was staring at me.
"What are you all looking at me for? I'm not dying," I hissed.
They all averted their gazes, finding a tree or rocks suddenly interesting. I struggled to my paws. Willowbreeze blocked me.
"Nope! You are staying right here!"
I shook my head, "The grass is all bloody. I'm not going to lay there."
I limped to another grassy patch and laid down there. Leopardstar, Tawnypelt, Flametail, Crowfeather, and Squirrelflight approached me.
"Spiritfeather?" Flametail asked.
"What?"
"We all think thats it would be fair if we had another cat telling us the dares and questions," Leopardstar started.
I tilted my head, "Why?"
"Because if you get dared or asked a question you could skip it because we wouldn't know," Tawnypelt meowed.
I thought this through. This wasn't a bad idea.
"Alright."
"So for this dare. Firestar has to go to the two-leg place and try to be a kittypet!" Yellowfang chuckled.
I had decided to have Yellowfang be the new host (YOU CAN NOT DARE OR ASK YELLOWFANG! SHE IS OFF LIMITS!).
"You have to say who the dare is from," I reminded her.
"Oh it's from KrazyKube."
Firestar looked horrified, "What no way!"
"Run back to you two-legs kittypet!" Tigerstar meowed.
I sighed, "FIrestar we have been over this! Do it!"
"Aww."
Firestar stepped into the lake and began swimming towards the shore. We watched him until he was on the other side of the lake and heading towards a two-leg place.
"Alright Yellowfang, What's next?"
"Well, KrazyKube dares Squirrelflight to sing about wanting to be a kittypet all day. If anyone makes fun of her then they have to sing it to."
Squirrelflight gave a little bounce, "Singing is not so bad! I'm a great singing!"
"Oh no!" Leafpool groaned and used her paws to cover her ears.
Squirrelflight belted out a song:
Everybody wants to be a kittypet,
because a cat's the only pet who knows where it's at.
Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat,
'cause everything else is obsolete.
Now a Cat that is torn
can make you wish you weren't born,
ever'time she plays; and with a vole in the act,
she can set the prey back
to the Old Clan Days.
I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing,
but a kittypet is the only pet
who knows how to swing.
Who wants to dig a long-haired gigor stuff like that?
When everybody wants to be a cat.
A cat with a torn,
makes you wish you weren't born,
ever'time she plays;
and with a kittypet in the act,
she's gonna set this music back to the Old Clan Days
Everybody wants to be a pet,
because a cat's the only pet who knows where it's at;
while playin' with a mouse you always has a food mat,
'cause everybody digs a swingin' kittypet.
Everybody digs a swingin' pet.
Squirrelflight finished her song. Man it was awful. I heard rats sing better than that. I looked around to see who was laughing. Bramblestar had a look of distaste, Hawkfrost was laughing. So was Ivypool, Leopardstar, and Brokenstar.
"Hey start singing." I told them.
Squirrelflight started another song, this time the cats who were laughing joined in:
Squirrelflight
Nataka kuwa paka! What a wonderful phrase!
Ivypool
Nataka kuwa paka! Ain't no passing craze!

Oh great starclan this was tourture. I watched as Breezepelt get back from making dirt and the look on his face when he saw the Singing cats was priceless. I gave a small smile, then winced as I moved to the other side of my body.
"What in the name of Starclan is going on?" Breezepelt shrieked to his mate.
Heathertail looked at him then stalked off. Making her way to sit with Nightcloud.
Heathertail had been dared by Goldenheart3 to ignore Breezepelt. It wasn't as dramatic as the time I had to ignore Tigerstar but it was fun to watch.
Yellowfang held her tail up in silence, the singing cats sang a background song quietly so that we could continue with what we were doing. "Russetfur! Goldenheart3 wants to know why you joined Shadowclan and not any of the other clans."
Russterfur answered quickly, "I honestly didn't know that there were other clans. Plus my original home was closer to Shadowclan. I wouldn't want to join Windclan because I love trees, I hate water so no Riverclan. And like I said, I didn't know that the other clans existed so that means no Thunderclan."
"Wow, that was a really long and complicated answer," I meowed.
Russetfur shrugged and sat back down.
Graystripe wound his body around Heathertail was softly purring, "I've never really noticed your fur before! It's so pretty and soft. And your eyes are just gorgeous!"
Heathertail took a step back and Breezepelt jumped in front, "What are you doing talking to MY mate?"
"Are you sure that she is your mate?" Graystripe questioned. "Cause it seems like she is mad at you."
Breezepelt opened his mouth to speak but Silverstream beat him to it, "How could you! Not only is that rude but it is dishonest to your mate(s) and kits!"
Graystripe lowered his head, "I'm sorry. I'll try to renform."
"You better!" she muttered darkly.
This was very entertaining, Graystipe got dared by WildXPaws to flirt with Heathertail in front of Breezepelt and Silverstream. Making everyone suffer was a full time job.
In the background the cats were still singing kittypet songs. This time, Jayfeather, Lionblaze, Crowfeather, Nightcloud, and Bramblestar joined in. It was awful!
"We have a question for Tigerstar!" Yellowfang yelled.
Tigerstar was sleeping right next to me, I nudged him awake.
"You have a question," I whispered.
Yellowfang began, "The question is from WildXPaws and she wants to know who you love more? Goldenflower? Sasha? or Darkstripe."
"DARKSTRIPE!?" Tigerstar and I yelled at the same time.
"I HATE Darkstripe! He will never leave me alone! I wanna kill him more than Bluestar, Firestar, and Scouge combined!"
I nudged the tom roughly, "So? Goldenflower or Sasha?"
Tigerstar's eyes widened as he looked at me. Many cats were looking at us too.
"Sasha. She always loved me, Goldenflower dropped me."
Everyone was staring at him.
"You do know that Sasha was a kittypet right? You hate kittypets! Remember?" I asked slowly.
"Yeah Yeah. Next!"
"Ivypool! You got a dare from Briarfang! You have to confess your love to Breezepelt!"
Ivypool groaned and got to her paws, she looked at Breezepelt.
"Breezepelt! My pelt ripples in the Breeze when I'm with you! I love you so much and my heart drowns in a pool when I'm not with you!"
I stared at Ivypool, my mouth wide open, "D...Did you rehearse that?"
Ivypool looked at me, "Of course not!" she snarled.
"It sounded like you actually meant it..." Dovewing trailed off.
"Mouse-brains! I would never!"
So I am not taking any more dares or questions! The next chapter will be the last! Until later!
(Also, if you have seen the movie Sandlot who is your favorite character and why? Mine is Yeah-Yeah. Why? I have no idea why.)
(I had Tigerstar play Yeah-yeah. Can yall find where Tiherstar said "Yeah Yeah")
*Nataka kuwa paka means I want to be a kittypet in Swahili.
