Christmas Eve Dreams
Squirrelflight layed her head down in her mossy bed, on Christmas eve. All she wanted for Christmas this year was for everyone to forgive her for acting as Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf were her kits. Also, she hopped her sister would be the medicine cat again. She silently hopped that Santa Claws would not put her on the naughty list. Then she dozed off to sleep.
She found herself in snow-covered mountains. At first she thought she was back with the tribe, and that they hadn't even reached the lake, and that it was all a dream. Suddenly she realized there were other cats swarming around her, they were all dressed in little elf costumes! She soon realized the elves were the small cats from the clans. She saw Mousefur, Littlecloud, Oakfur, Whitetail, Floss, and Hazeltail. Out of the blue, Brambleclaw padded up to her. At first she thought she should leave before he came up with another reason to be mad. Before she could leave he meowed something she really liked, "Come on Squirrelflight, were going to be late to that play thing you wanted to go to." Knowing it was probably a dream she eagerly excepted, knowing this wasn't going to happen in real life, she decided to have as much fun as she could. They padded together for a few moments, before coming to a huge cave , even bigger than the moonstone! At the entrance, Thornclaw was acting as the usher, handing out programs. She took one and saw that it was called The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies. She also saw something funny, the ballerinas all were toms, the ones that were very tough! She and Brambleclaw quickly found to seats at the front.
The curtains unfolded and out walked Bluestar. "Hello, I am the producer of the performance tonight" she said in a very professional voice with a hint of mischievousness. "Some of our ballerinas, were forced into doing this, so if they jump off the stage I recommend you run for your lives. Have a good night." On that note cats around her started to talk, but they all shut up when the curtains opened. On came 9 toms, they were dressed in pink leotards, purple tutus, and pink sparkling wings. The whole crowd let out a mrow of laughter when they saw who the toms were they were- Tigerstar, Hawkfrost, Darkstripe, Thisleclaw, Breezepelt, Brokenstar, Blackstar, Blackclaw, and Lionblaze.
At first they were doing okay, until Brokenstar's tutu fell off and Thisleclaw tripped over it. They soon all fell over and the stage quickly caught on fire. Four random cats hosed the stage down, also getting the ballerinas wet in the process. The audience let out another mrow of laughter. The dancers, already being agitated by the water jumped off the stage and started attacking the crowd. Only Lionblaze and Breezepelt remained on stage, realizing there hate for each other they began to battle. Squirrelflight and Bramblelaw were sitting next to a exit so quietly slipped out.
Suddenly, Brambleclaw disappeared and she found herself wandering cloud of mist, until the scenery changed to a toy shop. All the elves and more were busy making toys. She then spotted her blind nephew, quietly painting a picture, how a blind cat paints a picture you ask. Very carefully. She was about to walk up to him when, she felt something hard poke her in the side. She quickly woke up to find Cloudtail looming over her. Seeing she was awake he left. From outside the den she heard Poppyfrost calling "Hurry up everybody were going to be late, remember, were going to the island to watch the dark forest cats come do a performance!"
