Juniperpaw didn't know that they made it all the way down to Binghamton. More importantly they didn't know how they will get through the infested monster yard.
"Also my name is Pepper." Pepper responded. He mewed raising his tail as he led the group to a long abandoned shed.
"How are we going to get across the two-leg monster yard?" Juniperpaw mewed.
"Okay those monsters you're talking about are called trains. Second they don't go very fast in the monster yards especially when there are several industries in this area they need to service." Pepper explained.
"I know a way how to cross the train paths then." A voice rang out from the back, it was Tenonto.
"How?" Juniperpaw asked.
"We cross when they are clear, I've seen these trains before so I know how they work but first I need a runner to scout out a path for all of us to cross." Tenonto told them.
"Can't we just let Carnotaurus be the runner? He's the fastest out of all of us." Juniperpaw asked.
"Sure thing." Tenonto responded as he darted away to get the rest of the group.
About ten minutes later, the group was sneaking along with the Bulldog mix taking the lead. Carnotaurus was very eager to start sprinting.
"Is this the friend you were talking about?" Pepper asked.
"Yes it is." Tenonto responded as pepper began to explain on how the train yard worked. After that they were ready to cross.
"Ready for this?" Pepper asked.
"Yes I am." Juniperpaw asked.
"Okay Carnotaurus, look your long-paw is watching Gaming Beaver." Tenonto barked to trick the Bulldog mix into running.
"TOAST!" Carnotaurus shouted happily as he took off like a bullet being fired.
"How fast is he?" Pepper asked.
"He travels about twenty tail lengths a second." Tenonto told Pepper.
"I didn't know he was that fast." Pepper said surprised.
"Yeah he tried to beat a greyhound in a race, it failed miserably." Tenonto told the cat. Soon Carnotaurus made it across as he was ready to start moving.
"I'm ready when you are." He yapped.
"Okay we're only traveling in small groups." Edmontonia ordered as he ordered a small group of cats began to cross the train tracks. The mutts kept their eyes peeled in case any of the freight cars began to shift.
There was no hassle getting some of the clan cats across but another train pulled into the yard. They waited for it to clear before they continued across the narrow section of tracks. After an hour, everyone got across as they began to make their way through the giant two-leg city. They decided to start heading through downtown in an effort to find a place to rest. Everyone was walking but not talking as they were being led by a loner. They padded across the Vestal Parkway East as they crossed the Susquehanna River before making a right as they began to head westward seeing where the Susquehanna and the Chenango rivers meet. Juniper paw was very curious to see where they were heading to while they were walking in the streets with Pepper leading the way.
"I see your all bored back there; want me to sing you a song?" Asked Pepper.
"If it could lift the young apprentice's spirits and make them enjoy themselves then go ahead." Harestar mewed.
"Oh great here we go." Edmontonia yapped annoyed, he didn't like music very much.
"Over the mountains and through the woods to thunder lake we go. Mudclaw's the worst, this dumb book is cursed and it's as boring as we can show. Over the mountains and through the woods please just get there you guys. This is taking forever when nothing is clever and I'm already tired of tribes. Bum bum bum and an apprentice falls off the cliff. Bye." Pepper sang to them to keep their spirits up. (I AM NOT BLIXEMI)
"That was seriously so anticlimactic." Edmontonia said as he wasn't amused.
"Also where are we going?" Asked Juniperpaw.
"We're going to find my friend who lives in one of those stores in the shopping Plaza that the reader doesn't know about." Pepper mewed.
"But what if one of those readers is from Binghamton themselves? Will they go out and try to look for us from there?" Asked Juniperpaw.
"Don't worry. This is just a fanfiction so the reader does know that we don't even exist." Pepper mewed.
They continued to walk down the parkway as many of the two-legs got out their phones as they began to record them as they walked along. There was videos of them, paintings of them and even T-Shirts of them being made as they continued.
"Mister Narrator can you please get us to this shopping center so we can make the fanfiction shorter, were moving at tortoise speed." Molestar mewed.
"All right fine." The narrator said as I made the cats go faster.
"All right if you look to your left you will see the University of Binghamton, A place where two-legs go to learn." Pepper mewed.
"Also Mr. Narrator, can you mute Pepper until he is needed please?" Molestar mewed.
"Okay fine." The Narrator responded as he muted the cat.
"Okay good, we can follow our tracks to the shopping center." Molestar mewed with relief.
Once they got the shopping center, they all poured into the semi crowded parking lot. The cats looked around to see what was going on.
"Where is the store you said he was in?" Juniperpaw asked.
"Oh follow me." Pepper mewed as he lead the giant group to Walmart.
"Tennelle Flowers is going to yell at her husband that she found out Walmart exists in the warrior's fanfiction." Molestar mewed.
"We're going to look for my friend who apparently hangs out here every day before he heads back to the hotel for the night." Pepper mewed.
"Okay I only want a few of us to go in and look for Pepper's friend, who's willing to do it?" Asked Molestar.
"I will." Gastonia yapped.
"I guess I will take Poppyfrost and Juniperpaw with me then?" Molestar asked.
"I'll come along too to keep Gastonia in check." Edmontonia told Molestar.
"Okay good." Let's go." Pepper mewed as the six of them entered the Walmart together.
"Okay what's the entire point of going here?" Asked Thornclaw out of curiosity.
"Did you hear him before; they're looking for their friend." Leafpool mewed before she turned to an elderly Crowfeather. "Hey Crowfeather? Remember when Star-clan tried to give us a prophecy but we made it all the way down here?"
"It was strange but I still remember that." Crowfeather mewed. "And the special connection has been forgotten."
"That was fun." Leafpool mewed as she and Crowfeather began to talk about old times.
"I think this fanfiction has no sense of continuity." Berrynose mewed.
"Especially since their names should have been Poolpool and Crowfeathertail." Cloudtail mewed as he snickered.
In the Walmart, the six of them looked around seeing that this nest was filled with two-legs as they were busy shopping. They began to creep around without wanting the Two-legs seeing them.
"Where is this cat?" Asked Juniperpaw.
"He usually at the entertainment center of the Walmart which is on the other side of the store." Pepper responded.
"Let's go then." Juniperpaw mewed as they began to search for him but since the store was gigantic, they easily get lost.
"Where are we?" Asked Poppyfrost.
They looked up and saw various giant sticks that the two-legs would use, Juniperpaw leaped up to a spinning machine as he began to read. There were 12 gauge shotguns, Remington hunting rifles and 6 cylinder high powered hand guns. There were also various amounts of rounds the two-legs would use.
"We're in the hunting section." Juniperpaw blurted out to his friends. Gastonia was reasonably horrified to find out about this so he bolted off.
"I'm sorry but Gastonia is afraid if he sees blood. He doesn't go far" Edmontonia told Juniperpaw. They check the next isle to find him hiding in there but there was also fishing equipment as well as outdoor sporting supplies.
"Wait the two-legs actually buy and use this stuff?" Asked Poppyfrost as she was curious about it. "It's weird that Shadow-clan finds garbage on their land every Greenleaf." She continued to touch the stuff in curiosity.
"Yes they actually do." Pepper mewed to her.
"We don't want to spend all day in this section despite how much if makes us curious." Molestar mewed as the six of them continued to explore.
Juniperpaw began to move around as he turned the corner as they all walked to the entertainment section of the Walmart.
"We're here." Juniperpaw mewed as he was able to find him that easily.
"So if this is what the prophecy meant than I don't know what will." Molestar mewed. Juniperpaw was busy reading about the various stuff that would keep the Two-legs entertained. Pepper walked to his friends hide out as he knocked.
"Hello? You in there?" Asked Pepper. Soon the cat opened the door to reveal that it was in fact his friend. "You stay out here motionless, I'll talk to my friend." Pepper soon entered the room.
"Oh hello Monetary, can you tell the cats in the hotel to prepare food for our long awaited guests?" Pepper asked.
"Sure." Monterey responded. He soon pulled up the phone to the cats in the hotel. He told them to go take food from the hotel and the nearby stores.
"Will you be coming home with us?" Pepper asked.
"Sure." Monterey mewed as he and pepper packed up the stolen sugary candy as they headed out.
"Who's good at pulling?" Asked Pepper.
"I can help." Edmontonia told Pepper. Pepper soon tied some harnesses as Monterey went to go take snacks with them. They all rushed out of the Walmart as Monterey piled the wagon high with an assortment of food from trail mix to nuts to even some chips and sugary candy.
"Let's hope the workers didn't see us" Pepper told them.
"Yeah what's the probability of cats stealing a good amount of junk?" Monterey asked.
"Don't know but we need to get back to the hotel." Pepper mewed.
"I can lead the way." Juniperpaw mewed as he began to lead the large caravan group back to the hotel that the two cats were staying in.
They began to backtrack along the Vestal Parkway East as they came to the Homewood Suites. They poured into the parking lot where the rest of the cats that belonged to Monterey and Pepper.
"You got back." Jack their leader mewed to the both of them.
"Can these cats and dogs get somewhere to stay?" Pepper asked.
"Sure." Jack mewed as he guided them to a place in the hotel that was uninhabited by the Two-legs.
Jack opened up seven empty rooms for the clans to sleep in. The rooms were gigantic with each room having enough space to sleep and entire clan in them. The queens, elders and kits get the beds while everyone else slept on the floor. The leader, Deputy and medicine cats slept on the couch together. The stolen goods were rationed out for the clans as well as the sugar was passed to the cats. There was no Chocolate in them. The Mutts passed on the snacks but the cats took to it like it was nothing, except for Molestar, Juniperpaw and Poppyfrost. The sky began to darken as the cats began to sleep after a long day of walking, knowing they would be secured, they all fell asleep happily.
The next morning, the cats woke up to be treated to waffles as well as an assortment of food. It was better than the sweets but it still wasn't as good.
"I wish I had a mouse instead of a waffle." Juniperpaw mewed as he ate the fluffy morsel.
"Yeah I'm worried that they would poison us. I would rather eat kitty pet food instead of a waffle." Cloudtail mewed.
They began to wait all day since Pepper went down to the train yard to spotted three decently sized 60 foot boxcars that were empty and he darted back to tell his friends. It took a while for everything to happen.
"Hey cats and dogs I found a ticket out of Binghamton." Pepper mewed.
"Where?" Asked Molestar.
"In the train yard where you first came remember?" Pepper mewed.
"Oh there, let Juniperpaw lead." Molestar mewed as Bramblepaw and Featherpaw were jealous about their brother leading.
That afternoon, all of the cats and dogs set out back to the train yard that they found. Juniperpaw led the way seeing how he was good at reading stuff the two legs have left.
"Wait? Will these powers be forgotten about?" Juniperpaw asked.
"Yes they are very minor." Pepper mewed.
Soon they made their way where the boxcars were being held and the cats had very easy access to them. The last two-leg closed the door as the three cats along with their lackeys opened the doors to let everyone in. It was single file which made sure that they are all being treated together. Two groups per boxcar were the rules except for Thunder-clan which was the largest clan of the bunch. Once everyone was loaded on, the two-legs saw the doors were slightly open so they slid them closed and locked them.
"Well this is goodbye to Binghamton." Edmontonia yapped.
"Yeah I know but we enjoyed ourselves while we still could." Mistystar mewed.
"I wonder where we're going next?" Poppyfrost mewed from the first boxcar as she was puzzled about what the future would lie ahead.
"Don't know." Juniperpaw mewed.
Juniperpaw settled down next to Lightpaw as they both fell asleep comfy with Poppyfrost joining them. Soon a two-leg train coupled onto the boxcars and set them on a pick up heading to the northeast Soon the larger Two-leg trains took the body as it all headed there. Everyone was asleep, happy and excited about finding their new home but they didn't know what would be around the corner.
[A/N]: I wanted to address something quickly that there is a Moonkitti reference and to quote. "Star-clan tries to give Leafpool a prophecy but her and Crowfeather have made it all the way down to Binghamton." I spoil Twilight for everyone. Watch it to understand this joke.
