Thanks to Moonstream-Sunstripe, Midnight Star725, Unsharpened, Celeste Night, and AriusWinter for reviewing positively!
I don't even own a kitty cat. :( But I do own all of the Star Wars movies except for the Clone Wars one. I am not the owner of anything copyrighted that I have written about in this chapter.
As soon as Sorreltail walked into The StarClan Shop, she got totally excited. It smelled of fresh-kill and fresh bedding and fresh pineapples! Sorreltail had no idea what pineapples were. But she loved the bells that tingled when she pushed open the door.
"Welcome to The StarClan Shop: ThunderClan location!" shouted the clerk behind the desk, Rainwhisker.
"Rainwhisker! I miss you so much! How are you doing?"
"Awesome! I'm working my dream job! So, how are your little kitties doing?"
"Alas, not well, not well at all. They are not acting weird, like they should be. Poppyfrost is doing the best, though. She came back into camp earlier today with some strange story about a Darth Vader cat," Sorreltail replied sadly. Rainwhisker looked worried and sympathetic.
"Ah, yes. The Darth Vader cat. Insane, that one is."
"You know about him?"
"Of course! Oh, it's her, not him. She was so obsessed with Darth Vader when we watched Star Wars up in StarClan... Finally, she just had to go pose as him."
"Well who is she?"
"I'm afraid I can't tell you that, sis. When she left, she asked to be anonymous." Rainwhisker turned to a customer who had just come in. "Hey, there, Whitestorm, I mean, Dad! Come to buy more Jolly Ranchers, are you?"
"Jolly Ranchers?"
Whitestorm made a shocked noise from behind the tortoiseshell.
"Don't tell me you've never heard of Jolly Ranchers!"
"No, I haven't, Daddy."
"They're these awesome candies! Tell you what, I bet Honeyfern would just love them!"
Whitestorm picked up a bright blue bag with his teeth, placed the bag into a cat-sized messenger bag, and tossed the bag to Sorreltail, who slung it across her shoulder. Then she walked off, telling Whitestorm thank you.
It just so happened to turn out that The StarClan Shop was actually quite large. After fifteen minutes of just walking around in awe, Sorreltail came across a booth that read:
Instant Custom T-Shirts! Just Ask For an Instant Custom T-Shirt!
She could read; she had automatically learned just five seconds before she read the sign. Sorreltail looked at the picture of a t-shirt on a model cat, who looked a lot like Goldenflower when she was still a young warrior. This made Sorreltail want one. Badly. She turned to the cat running the booth, who just so happened to be Goldenflower herself.
"I'd like a custom t-shirt," she told Goldenflower.
Goldenflower beamed.
"Of course! Now, what do you want your t-shirt to say?"
Sorreltail thought for a very long time. Finally, she decided.
"I Heart Brackenfur. But the "heart" part must be a picture of an actual heart. And can there be a big picture of Brackenfur on the back?"
The now-dead queen nodded kindly. A loud voice that belonged to nobody shouted, "BEEP!" and a t-shirt that looked exactly like what Sorreltail described appeared on the counter.
"Is that what you want?" confirmed Goldenflower.
"Exactly! Thank you so much!"
Walking away from the booth, Sorreltail muttered, "Now, what to get for Cinderheart, Poppyfrost, and Brackenfur?"
Next, she came across a sub-room of the store. The sign read:
Star Wars Merchandise! Get it here!
Sorreltail turned there, walking into a dark room. The music inside played every single piece ever played in the movies. Currently, it was playing Cantina Band, even though Sorreltail didn't know that. She strolled along for a while until she found shelves full of bobble heads. Though the she-cat had never seen or heard of them before, she instantly knew what they were. There were bobbleheads of every character the cats had heard of, and ones they hadn't heard of. When Sorreltail looked at a row of Darth Vader cats, she instantly knew that she had to buy one of those for Poppyfrost. She took one from the shelf and put it in her bag, which now held the t-shirt and the Jolly Ranchers. She left the room, and soon came to rows and rows of video games. And there, in the center of it all, was a shiny, white Wii. A heavenly light shone around the box, and a chorus of angels sang the "Hallelujah Chorus" as Sorreltail walked closer and closer to it. Her jaw dropped, her eyes widened. The Wii was amazing. She grasped the handle with her teeth, putting the box in the bag as well. Now it was time to choose the games to go along with it! Cinderheart and Brackenfur still needed presents, so Sorreltail decided to get them their own games. After a while, she finally chose Star Wars: The Clone Wars Lightsaber Duels for Brackenfur and Wii Fit for Cinderheart, balance board and all. She got many vials of Posable Thumb Potion (developed in StarClan by Bluestar) for them so they could hold the remote and nunchuck. Then, for herself, she picked out We Ski.
Many hours had been spent in the shop. It was past sunhigh when Sorreltail finally came out. She lugged her bags with her teeth all the way back to camp. Once she got there, she let go of the bags.
"I'm baaaaaaaaaaaack!"
Her family rushed to meet her.
"What did you get? What did you get?" prodded Honeyfern. Her mother took out the bag of Jolly Ranchers. Honeyfern stared blankly at it, her eyes quivering. She sniffled.
"You... all you got me was this... bag?"
"Open it! Eat the candy; Whitestorm said you'd love it!"
Honeyfern's eyes twitched one last time as she pulled the bag back to her nest.
"What's mypresent?" asked Poppyfrost. Sorreltail reached into her shopping bag and brought out the Darth Vader bobblehead.
"AAAUUUGGGHHH!" Poppyfrost screamed. "NOOO! Not the creepy weird cat thing! NOOOOO!"
And she fled the scene, going to StarClan-knows-where. Cinderheart and Brackenfur looked at Sorreltail hesitantly.
Oh crap, what scary or useless thing did she get us? They both wondered.
"Cinderheart! I got you the coolest thing ever!"
Oh, no.
Much to Cinderheart's surprise, Sorreltail brought out the Wii Fit box.
"Oh. Migosh!" the gray she-cat exclaimed, sounding like a teenage Twoleg girly-girl. "That's, like, so cool!"
Sorreltail beamed.
"I knew you'd like it!"
She turned to Brackenfur and pushed the lightsaber game over to him.
"Whoah! Awesome! That's perfect! Because I'm a Jedi, you know!" Brackenfur marveled in awe.
It did not take long for any of the cats to set up the Wii, which magically made a seventy-two-inch high-definition plasma screen TV appear in the middle of the camp. The Mii Channel had been reconfigured by Bluestar to use cats as the Miis, instead of Twolegs. More insanity was about to grab ThunderClan by the tail...
Lionblaze had chosen not to challenge Tornear. At the WindClan camp, Kestreltalon was still working on healing the cats. Very fortunately, the poultice had worked on Onestar. However, the name of the illness was still unknown, and Kestreltalon had run out of his cure. He was still gathering more ingredients to make it again; there were only a few cats who were still sick. Tornear had been cured, and he suddenly felt moved to challenge Lionblaze to a podrace. Without getting a patrol or Onewhisker's permission, he marched straight to the ThunderClan camp. As he came in, he was met by Hollyleaf.
"No Tornear you can't come in here you're breaking the Warrior Code you should know that you're an old cat not an apprentice what are you doing here what do you want you're breaking the Warrior Code!?!?!?!"
Tornear hissed and pushed past her, stalking into the camp. For some reason, he didn't notice the huge TV in the camp clearing. Brackenfur was playing Wii Hunting. Bluestar had changed Wii Sports into games that stimulated Clan life. Now the games on the Wii Sports disc were Hunting, Patrolling, Fighting, Apprentice Training, and, just for medicine cats, Herb Collecting.
"Lionblaze!" he roared.
Lionblaze came out of the warriors den, confused as to why a WindClan cat was standing in his camp, calling his name.
"Yeah?"
"I challenge thee to a podrace!"
"'Thee'?"
"Yes, 'thee'! Now, tell me, cat, are you or are you not going to accept my challenge?!"
"Eh, sure, why not?"
"Then, our podrace shall be held next sunhigh, in WindClan territory, by the stream," proclaimed Tornear.
"Whatever," muttered Lionblaze. "I guess I'll be there, then."
As the old cat left, the golden tom shrugged. I guess I'm going to have to do this podracing stuff after all.
Even though he didn't really feel like doing the podrace, Lionblaze was ready. Tornear had better watch out. Because Lionblaze was going to kick his sorry kitty butt if he didn't.
Another chapter done! In case it interests you, check out my --pure-- Star Wars story, too! Your reviews would be greatly appreciated. :D Personally, I think this chapter was just weird, not funny. Oh well.... Thank you to Moonstream-Sunstripe for the t-shirt idea!
Stay tuned for the next chapter to see more of the Wii and the podrace! I have a poll on my profile, and it concerns this story. Please review and vote!
