Ivy had never felt the need to hurry up in life until now. While her sister snoozed on the couch her broken leg and arm propped up on the sofa and her injured head were wrapped in a think cast she ran around there two-story house in a panic.

"Phone, Check. Makeup, Check. Documents, Check. Called the pizza guy, Check. Ordered a large pizza, Check." She ticked off her list and adding a small check to the items. She shoved her list in her purse and rambled on to herself as scanned through the messy fray of papers lying on her desk. Quickly snatching the important ones, she needed.

She dusted her attire before snatching her purse. She was wearing a fitted, black, knee-length dress that clung to her waist, the bottom half was flowy and swished around her legs as she ran down the stairs and into the living room.

She dashed around the living room. YOUR LATE! Her mind screamed at her as she hurriedly picked up her things and slipped her feet into a pair of small black heels.

As she passed by her sister grumbled from her spot on the couch, she had passed out cold last night at four in the morning after drowning herself with Pepsi and watching the latest season of the oh so popular show, Yours truly a comedy, by Graystripe. No alcohol for her.

"Stop making a mess we already live in a pile of clutter you call a house and even that isn't enough for you. I'll just have to clean all his up!"

"Don't worry Moonshine I've called someone over to take care of you while I'm gone. If you wish you can force them to clean up." She told her while she grabbed her keys and sunglasses from the side table.

"But I don't want to be replaced," she whined drowsily. She sat up on the couch with caution. "Can't you and Ashfur take care of the show by yourselves until I and the rest of the crew can get better."

"One, that'll take months. Two, we can't wait for months. And three this is good for our ratings" She argued, "Besides I'm pretty sure you would like the guys who are stepping in, they even have a close relationship to our main character which is way better then have complete strangers manage her life story into a movie."

"But-"

"Moonshine I don't have time for this you would ju-"

She was interrupted by a loud knock on the door. She turned the doorknob and came face to face with Moonshine's Boyfriend, Flicker, standing in the Doorway wearing a large smile and holding an extra-large (Hopefully cheese) pizza.

"Guess who's got a pizza delivery for two pretty little ladies." He said as I pulled the door for him to come in. I laughed at his statement and said, "Go flirt with your Girlfriend."

He grinned at me as he came in and he placed the pizza on the kitchen counter. He rushed over to the couch.

"Hey Moon," he said gently, coming to sit at the end of the couch, by her head. He placed a kiss on her cheek and she saw how her sister instantly brightened.

I let out a soft sigh and felt my heart twinge. I shook my head and continued to get my things. They chatted and Moonshine let him play with her hair while I instructed him the 'do's' and 'don'ts', reading off from a list.

"Don't let her drink Any alcoholic beverage. Make sure she eats properly. If her head or legs start to hurt, there are painkillers in the top kitchen cabinets. If she tries to get off the couch don't let her but if she wants to go to the bathroom or to her room I give you the honors of carrying her up there." She said, ticking them on her fingers as she read each item of the list.

"Don't worry I've got this." He said ushering me to the grand wooden door, "You should probably go I mean you're already late.

"OMG. Your right! I have to run, Bye guys" I yelled over my shoulder.

"Bye Ivy!" they chorused after her and she thought she heard giggling as they close the door. I smiled faintly as I opened the door to my car and started the engine in a hurry.

I jumped and fastened the seatbelt and took off in a rush. Hopefully, the newest members of my staff were waiting for me.

I drove down the roads and felt relieved as I made my way onto Thunder Block. This area was the place where most of the 'Famous' people resided. People like Firestar, Goldenflower, Ivypool, Dustpelt…(The cats from the series both dead and alive because what fun are your favorite warriors dead?).

Ivy scanned the streets looking for a white mansion, where the 'flames' resided. She sighed in frustration and almost banged her head against the steering wheel when she couldn't find the house and even double checked the house number they had given her and her phone. 657, The same house number she was looking for and had not found.

She looked through the windows and the review mirror in case she missed anything. She looked away from the road and grabbed her purse, rummaging through the papers and making until she found her shiny black watch Moonshine got her for Christmas. Her watch read; 9:21.

Damn it I'm late! Where the Bloody Dark forest is this Starclan cursed house!

Her phone buzzed loudly with probably a new text. Probably from Ashfur about why I'm so bloody late She thought grumpily as she read the new text.

It was from Ashfur and the message made her blood boil.

Ashfur: Hey, you were getting late so I decided to let our staff drive themselves here and IVY IM INCHES AWAY FROM KICKING THEM OUT OF THE THEATER, WHY THE BLOODY DARK FOREST DID YOU EVEN HIRE LIONBLAZE AND JAYFEATHER. ALL LIONBLAZE IS DOING IS YAPPING HIS HEAD OF ABOUT HOW IT IS HONOR FOR THEM TO WORK WITH US AND TS SO ANNOYING HOW MODEST AND HUMBLE AND KIND. ND JAYFEATHER JUST KEEPS GLARING AT ME AND-

Sorry, lost my cool there actually I'm very hot right now Jayfeather's glares are starting to make me sweat and I'm supposed to be the boss! Anyway, be back here in thirty minutes. You're welcome.

From beginning to end of the letter I was boiling, my face was red with anger and I was fuming.

Okay, breath. In and Out, In and Out, In and OU-

I let out a scream of frustration as I banged my head repeatedly on the back seat and slammed my foot on the brakes. Wait till I deal with those idiots!

I grimaced as small droplets of water fell on my front window. Normally rain was the best kind of weather anyone could wish for but due to my foul mood, I glared at very singular droplet hoping the heat of my gaze would make them evaporate and disappear. Sadly, there's no such luck.

Great It's raining, Perfect.


I parked my car the closest to the entrance of the theater as I could and jumped out, my shoes sloshing in the puddles of water and making me cringe at the state I would be in. Usually, I don't care about my appearance but as owner and producer of the show, I couldn't let anyone see me looking like this.

I held tightly to my purse and use my head to shield my hair and face from the heavy downpour. Thunder crackled overhead and the rain showed no signs of stopping. It had been very hot for the past few months and there hadn't been a single drop of rain if she could remember so it should be raining the entire day, maybe even through the night.

Good. She thought with a ghost of a smile, just how I like it.

She sighed with relief as she opened the stunning glass doors and into the fancy lobby. She plastered a serious look on her face as she entered the theater. She passed by her secretaries, yes she had two, Hazeltail and Foxleap. Since the show was doing so well she managed to hire them and was able to afford their paycheck.

Hazeltail seemed focused on the task at hand on her new white desk but she looked up to give a smile as I passed by. Foxleap, who was wiping up water from the floor, (Janitors job I know but since Brokenstar was coming back in a few days why bother to hire a new one.) give me a toothy grin too.

"Good morning Ivy, I suggest you use the entrance for backstage since everyone is already seated in the auditorium. Ashfur hasn't started the show yet but be careful he's mad! Good news, however, is Foxleap found the information that had been destroyed earlier this month. Not all of the names were recovered but it's a start." She informed, looking up from her own mess of papers.

"And thanks for letting me work with my best friends." Foxleap said, cheerfully, "Oh and leave your coat here, your soaking."

He was right she thought looking down at her attire. Her Coat was heavy with water and her black dress was soaked through and she shivered from the cold as she handed Foxleap her coat.

"You okay?" Hazeltail asked worriedly, her brows creasing in worry.

"Yeah, just a bad day. Ashfur made me drive all the way to Thunder Block before letting me know Jayfeather and Lionblaze were already here."

"Explains why you're late. Although I don't think its Jayfeather and Lionblaze's Best first day either especially since Ashfur makes backstage look like a war zone." Foxleap joked, placing my coat on the coat hanger and then returning to cleaning up the muddy trails of footprints.

"I could have gotten here faster if Thunder block wasn't an hour and a half away."

"Well, at least you know the trouble we go through to get here on time," Hazeltail muttered.

She stopped by the door to the hallway that would lead her backstage and watched Foxleap mop up water and wipe dirty trails of footprints from the floor.

"You don't have to you know. I could just make Ashfur do it later as revenge if you want?" I offered.

"Thanks for your generosity." He said, teasingly. "But I need the lobby clean before people leave the building. What would they think when they saw the state of your lobby even though they made all this mess? They would never believe that once upon a time the floor used to be crystal clear!"

I snorted but smiled slightly at both of them before leaving the lobby without a second word.

I walked briskly through the hallway passing multiple dressing rooms which were used by most of the actors in the movie. Each of the doors had a small gold star with a name of the owner of the dressing room engraved in it. If I hadn't been so late I could have changed into something a little less wet since I kept extra clothes in case of emergencies like this. Pity there's no time.

The Hallway was long and empty but since the wall on the right side was connected to the theater she could hear people conversing quietly on the other side. She had a feeling they were pretty annoyed and the fact that she could hear sighs and complaints just confirmed it.

She walked with a run in her step and thanked herself for wearing flats in the morning. She saw the door to the backstage of the theater and stopped right in front of it preparing herself to meet Ashfur's anger her with her own.

Here I go!

She took a deep breath and pushed open the doors. "Ashfur, I'm here now so no need to panic," She announced as she walked into the fairly large area behind the theater.

It was dark and several props including a couple of bean bags were stored on one side of the room while on the other side there were racks where costumes for the hosts hung and fitting rooms lay. There was another door that led to another hallway where you would find rooms where professional makeup artists normally do your makeup. There was usually security at all the exits including the ones on the right and the corresponding one on the left where you could go on and off stage. The door, adjacent to the one that led to the makeup rooms, was where you meet another hallway where the manager's office including the producer and director's office and quarters.

Also present backstage were several desks scattered with papers, panels that controlled the lighting and sound, and an old but usable coffee machine. Right in the center though were three men arguing loudly.

All three of them looked up, pissed as she marched over to them, her hand on her forehead in frustration. "Don't say a word." She said warningly as Ashfur opened his mouth to comment. "You should have told me Lionblaze and Jayfeather were already here earlier instead of telling me about it while I was driving halfway through thunder!"

"You're My boss! You should know your own schedule without me having to tell you." He snapped back angrily. "The show is thirty minutes late and people are furious, not to mention I have to work with them and you weren't even in the building. Not to mention every time we try to play the movie it shuts down!"

Ivy was bored as she listened to Ashfur. "Technically it's your fault, you should have sent me that message yesterday besides I thought we already agreed Why does the movie keep shutting down?!"

Lionblaze sighed, "We don't know. We have to get the movie to start soon though or your audience is going to leave."

"And none of you know how to fix it?"

"If we did don't you think we already would have instead of arguing with this mouse brain!" Jayfeather snapped. "The crowd out there is about to leave so if you have a plan I suggest you stop standing here and do something!

"If I had a plan do you think we'd be arguing right here?!" Ashfur retorted.

"We probably still would be arguing. Especially since you can't get the fact this is your fault."

"Oh really," Ashfur snorted. "Care to explain how this is my fault?"

Ivy couldn't hear what Jayfeather had said in reply but whatever it was just made them argue even more. "Why did I hire headless chickens to run my show…" She muttered, grabbing a pair of walkie-talkies.

"Guys?"

"What!" They all roared together.

"Here." She handed them one of the walkie-talkies, "Lionblaze, you, your brother and Ashfur will connect the lighting and movie to the emergency power store. Get it done in ten minutes while I distract our crowd, it will work, however, all power, lights, air conditioning and any technology backstage will be cut off for as long as the movie plays. I'll get Foxleap to help but Lionblaze and Jayfeather think of this as your first big job. Are we clear?"

"Yeah," Lionblaze answered, fiddling with the walkie-talkie. "But what are the walkie-talkies for?"

"You guys are going to be communicating with me, I want to be sure that nothing gets set on fire." She said, straightening out her dress and checking to make sure each strand of her was in place before going on stage.

"Oh and Lionblaze, Jayfeather. Welcome to Star Lake Theater and Productions."


The plan went smoothly, chapter 6, Watch The Tears Fall went well except for the minor problem, a fire. Ashfur had managed to join me on stage at the end until Jayfeather and Foxleap, who had stayed behind had started screaming about how there was a fire in where the movie was plugged to the emergency power storage.

Ashfur had jumped back of the stage and had gotten a fire extinguisher, there happened to be one in the lobby in case of emergencies, and extinguished the fire before it got worse.

No one got injured and everyone was fine although Jayfeather did threaten to sue…but it's been the least drama since we started so that's good!

Afterwards, Ivy led both brothers to their new offices and introduced them to their duties. She became good friends with them and Lionblaze even told her when he was planning to propose to Cinderheart although he made her promise not to tell or he would make her life very miserable.

So far Hazeltail, Honeyfern, Poppyfro, t and Hollyleaf were planning some dinner date thing where they wanted him to propose and it happened to be in a few months.

Sigh. Young love….


Hey guys hope you enjoyed…. this.

I plan on doing many chapters like this maybe even make it into something separate but you will get to see Lionblaze propose and his and Cinderheart's wedding. You will see Flicker proposing to Moonshine and their wedding. Watch Ivy find her own fling and FoxXHazel.

You'll see death and destruction, that's a promise, and just check in to their crazy everyday lives at Star Lake Productions.

Tell me if you like the idea!

This chapter takes place before and after Chapter 6 if there's confusion. Now time for the actual chapter 7!
