Alright, so I'm doing these in chronological order, so that means SwiftStar's up first! Scourge will go on a date, right, Scourge?
Scourge: …
And you will go to the live Elmo concert without ripping anybody to shreds, right?
Scourge: Make me!
I hope you realize I replaced your normal collar with a shock collar, so now you must do everything I say.
Scourge: …stupid twoleg technology! I hate you all!
"Scourge, wake up." A silvery-gray she-cat murmured, prodding a black cat with a wary paw.
"If you nudge me one more time…!" the tom muttered.
"But you've gotten a dare. You told me to tell you whenever you get one."
"Ugh. Fine, Concrete, what is it?" Scourge asked as he sat up in his tire, rubbing sleep out of his eyes with a bleached-white paw.
"All the queens in BloodClan want you to go see Sesame Street Live with their kits." Scourge's ice-blue eyes widened in shock.
"You've gotta be kidding me! I'm not going!"
"You agreed yesterday night to do any dare."
"But the giant bird scares me! And I swear that green guy's been taking food from our territory!"
"Scourge, be reasonable. They're just puppets or cats in costumes."
"See?! They're trying to invade! They're trying to get our kits to join their side!"
"SCOURGE!" the black cat fell silent "You're going, and that's that."
"Hmph, fine."
"C'mon, kits! Scourge's taking you to Sesame Street Live!" a queen exclaimed as the cat stepped into the Nursery Section of the territory. It was nearly as far away from his den as it could get. The only thing farther was the forest.
"But Mommy, he scares me!" a pinkish-white kit squeaked, trembling behind her mother's paws.
"He might hurt us!" a orange kit added. A brave black and white kit strayed near him.
"Your claws are really shiny and pointy!" the she-cat exclaimed "Can I ride on your back?"
Scourge looked helpfully at the queens and Concrete, who all nodded their heads. He sighed.
'I do not want to do this.' He thought.
"Sure, you can ride on my back." He lay down, and the kits immediately ran to him and climbed on his back. As soon as every kit was on him, he stood up. "Where's the concert?"
"Not too far. There'll be colorful arrows to guide you there." A queen said.
"Alright. Let's get this over with."
"Don't forget to take them to the Play Zone for an hour!"
"Fine! I'm leaving now!"
"Bring them back alive, Scourge!"
"No, duh!" Scourge cautiously walked towards the concert.
"Yay!" all the kits exclaimed, jumping off of his back and running in separate directions. Scourge just sat there for awhile, taking in all the chaos. Different color pelts ran around the room, playing in various props set up around the room.
"First time, huh?" a voice said. Scourge turned around to see a striped tabby sitting next to him. He looked familiar…
"Do I know you?" Scourge asked.
"My name's Brambleclaw."
"…have we met before?"
"Not sure. Is this your first time coming?"
"Yeah. I got dared to sit here with a bunch of kits. The kits are fine. The cats in giant costumes…not so much."
"No way! I was forced to come with my wife, Squirrelflight!"
"Really? Looks like we have something in common…look at that one. He's just sitting there." Scourge flicked his tail towards a tiny silver tabby with icy-blue eyes, swiveling his head around, looking at the chaos.
"Oh, that's Jaykit. He's one of my three…he's blind."
"And you thought it was a good idea to bring him in here?!" Scourge exclaimed "He could get hurt!"
"Nah. His siblings will take care of him. Plus, he's pretty responsible for someone his age." Right when Brambleclaw said that, a golden tabby kit and a black kit ran towards the silver tabby.
"Jaykit! Let's go down the slide! It's really fun!" the other tabby said. The black cat nodded in hyper agreement.
"…alright!" the three ran off together, towards a large red slide. Next to it were a few trashcans, with the green monster in one of them. He held an apple core in his fuzzy hand.
"Is that one of yours?" Brambleclaw asked him. Scourge turned looked closer and saw the pinkish kit trying to take a bite out of the apple.
"Hey, Flower! That's not a real apple…right?" Scourge said, padding towards it. He sniffed it. "Eww, it is real! Don't eat that, it's been rotten for moons!"
"Okay, Scourge!" the pink kit ran off and towards another attraction.
"And this goes on for another hour?" Scourge asked the tabby from earlier.
"Yeah…good thing this was free. I'm gonna see if there's any food."
"Please, take me with you!"
"Let's go."
Another 45 minutes later, Scourge and Brambleclaw had found their kits and herded them along towards the arena. Hollykit and Flower had become close friends, as discovered when Scourge found them twirling together in Zoe's Dance Studio. Lionkit and Mustard had gotten close, also. Jaykit seemed to be a loner, while Patch was trying to talk to everyone he saw.
If the Play Zone was chaotic, the arena was loud. Somehow, there were just enough open seats in the front row for Scourge, Brambleclaw, and the kits to sit. Soon, a furry red monster with an orange nose appeared on stage. All the kits in the room squealed in delight and tried to get on stage. A few actually made it and climbed onto it's head. Jaykit just pressed his ears onto his head.
"It's too loud in here!" he shouted "I can't hear! Who's on stage?"
"Elmo…and now Big Bird, too!" at Brambleclaw's words, a giant yellow bird with an extremely long beak and even longer orange and pink legwarmer-like legs came on stage. Soon just about everybody was on stage, and started singing as Elmo waved a giant wand around. Jaykit covered his ears again.
"Ah, the horror! Make them stop, Daddy!" he squeaked "They sound horrible!"
"Who wants to attack them?" Scourge asked, leaning over to the tabby. He looked at Scourge with a smirk.
"Jaykit, stay here. Daddy and his friend are going to make them stop for you."
"Wow! Thanks, Dad…and other guy!" at that, the two cats leaped onto the nearest costumes they could and started clawing faux fur and feathers out.
Needless to say, everybody freaked. They needed six guards to pry the cats off.
"Aw, man! Now who's gonna take us to Sesame Street Live?!" Hollykit whined from Brambleclaw's back.
"I can't believe you two got banned from Sesame Street!" Squirrelflight, an orange cat with a white paw complained "Brambleclaw, as deputy of the clan, I would have thought you would be more responsible!"
"But, Mommy, it's not his fault! I asked him to stop, because they were hurting my ears!" Jaykit mewed.
"As for you, Scourge! As leader of the clan, you shouldn't attack someone for no reason!" Concrete exclaimed in fury. Scourge flattened his ears against his head.
"Sorry, but that singing…it was driving us insane!" he insisted. Brambleclaw nodded his head in agreement.
"It was like they were chanting to try and raise the dead!" the tabby added. The two she-cats rolled their eyes.
"Well, we've gotta go this way." Squirrelflight said, gesturing to the left. "…See you later, Concrete?"
"Of course!" the silver tabby exclaimed.
"Same for us?" Scourge asked Brambleclaw.
"Sure, I guess. If we can both pull away from our duties often enough."
"Goodbye, you guys!" Lionkit called as his parents left. He seemed to be indifferent about the concert.
"See you!" Patch exclaimed.
"Here you go. Nobody's dead." Scourge said, letting the kits climb off his back. The kits reluctantly went to their mothers.
"It was so fun! Scourge and a guy named Bramble-something tried to claw Grover's eyes out!" Flower exclaimed. Mustard was hopping around in excitement.
"But now they got banned, so they can't do it again. But it was fun while it lasted!" he added.
"Oh, really?" the queens asked in mock shock. They looked at Scourge "Forgiven. Those costumes are pretty creepy. That's why we dared you to go."
"I must thank you two. I actually made a new friend while I was there. And so did the kits."
"Just wait until the next dare!" Concrete said, nudging Scourge away from the Nursery.
'Note to self; move Nursery closer to my den. Kits are hilarious!' Scourge thought.
And that is the first dare Scourge has taken. It was fun after all, wasn't it?
Scourge: Actually, it was! Brambleclaw was pretty cool!
Brambleclaw: You're a decent cat after all, Scourge. Many thanks for getting me into this story. Will I return anytime soon?
Of course! You're one of my favorite cats, after all!
Jayfeather: And I won't have to be a kit anymore, right?
Probably not. Anyways, say the disclaimer, everyone!
Cats: anipwrites doesn't own us!
Concrete: But she owns me!
Flower, Mustard, and Patch: She owns us too!
Good job! On to the next prank! (BTW, for random information, I was listening to the Thousand Foot Krutch album 'The Flame In All Of Us', mainly the song 'Falls Apart'. And I've never seen Sesame Street Live, so I have no clue what it's like in there. But there's toddlers, so it must be somewhat insane!
Oh, and I don't own Sesame Street!
