Chapter 3

Imagine eating a life-size triple scoop hot fudge sundae with whipped cream and a cherry on top. Rosekit and Toadkit's world famous pasta was about a hundred times as good. Hollypaw couldn't stop eating it. She ate ten bowls of it. She was about to order an eleventh bowl, but Lionpaw told Flamekit they were finished.

After they left the dining room, they each took a key from Icepaw and went into their rooms to sleep.


The next day Hollypaw went to the dining room at nine o-clock to order her breakfast. Lionpaw and Jaypaw were already there. This time they were waited on by Dawnkit.

"Hello!" she mewed. "I will be your waitress for this morning. What would you like?"

"I'll have your classic waffles," Jaypaw mewed.

"I will too," Lionpaw yawned. Then his head flopped onto the table and he started snoring.

"Oh, get up, you useless lump of fur!" Hollypaw hissed. She smacked his face with her paw. His head shot up

"And what would you like, Hollypaw?" Dawnkit mewed as though nothing had happened.

"I'll have seven bowls of Rosekit and Toadkit's world famous pasta," she mewed.

"No! Wait!" Lionpaw yowled, but Dawnkit was already gone.

"Hollypaw!" he and Jaypaw exclaimed.

"What?" Hollypaw mewed. "I like their pasta."

"It seems to me you've already made that clear." Jaypaw growled. "Eat anymore of that and you'll get fat."

"No I won't," Hollypaw mewed.

Jaypaw was about to argue, but Lionpaw flicked his tail over Jaypaw's mouth to silence him.

"Dawnkit's back!" he hissed.

Hollypaw looked over her shoulder. Sure enough, there was Dawnkit, struggling under the weight of seven bowls of pasta and two plates of waffles.

"Here... you... go!" she grunted. She tipped the tray sideways so the pasta slid onto Hollypaw's place mat. Then she placed Lionpaw and Jaypaw's waffles in front of them.

Hollypaw gobbled down her pasta so quickly she finished it in ten minutes. Jaypaw was about to eat the last bite of his waffle, but Lionpaw had only eaten one of the three waffles on his plate. His eyelids were drooping. Then Hollypaw noticed that his head was sinking lower and lower. He was going to fall on his plate!

"Catch him!" Hollypaw yowled, but before she could move, Lionpaw's head dropped right on top of the mess of butter and syrup.

"Perfect!" Jaypaw hissed. He stood up and stomped out of the dining room. Hollypaw got up and ran after him.


Jaypaw thrust the door to the shower room open and stepped inside one of the tubs. He turned on the water and grabbed a bottle of coconut-lime shampoo. Once his fur was all wet, he put some on his paws and began rubbing it through his fur. Then he washed it off, turned off the water, stepped out of the tub, and grabbed a towel. He rubbed his fur until it was thoroughly dry, then opened the door to leave. He found himself face-to-face with Hollypaw.

"What do you want?" he growled.

"I'm just coming to take a shower, of course," she mewed. She stepped around him and into the shower room. A few minutes later she reappeared, smelling of lavender.

"I've decided to take a nap before lunch," she told him. "Would you like to sleep in my room with me?" she asked.

"Sure," Jaypaw mewed. "Where's Lionpaw?" he asked.

"Well, I sort of..." Hollypaw trailed off. Suddenly the door to the left burst open, and Lionpaw appeared, his face sticky with maple syrup. Hollypaw knocked Jaypaw aside to avoid getting spattered with drops of melted butter.

"Well?" Lionpaw demanded.

"Um, we'll just sort of go now, hehehe," Hollypaw mewed. She thrust Jaypaw forwards, and they both ran off towards Hollypaw's room.
