How Barkface Got His Medicine Cat Name

Author's Note: Because Barkface is a medicine cat – not a warrior – I decided to write Medicine Cat instead of Warrior for the title. Anyways, I'll be writing about Lionheart next chapter because I got this really good idea for him! I'll tell you who I'm going to be writing about after Lionheart next chapter! Plus, who's Barkface's mentor? I'm just going to say that he/she was sick and couldn't go to the Moonstone because I don't know. Back to the point; enjoy!

Barkpaw and the other medicine cats Spottedleaf, Runningnose and Mudclaw were padding to the Moonstone where they could share tongues with StarClan. Because Barkpaw's mentor was sick, he {I'll just say he for now} could not go and so Barkpaw had to go alone. Today was the day he would get his medicine cat name, and his mentor told him that StarClan would name him for him {I hope you understood that}.

"What if the StarClan cats won't give me a name?" Barkpaw asked anxiously, too worried.

"Don't worry about it," Mudclaw assured him. "They'll give you one."

But Barkpaw wasn't so sure. He kept thinking worriedly and thinking about dreadful stuff that he didn't even notice a tree in front of him, and he crashed straight into it.

"OW!"

Spottedleaf, Runningnose and Mudclaw burst out laughing. "That's so stupid of you, Barkpaw!" Spottedleaf meowed, rofming.

"Stop laughing! Arrgh! My head's stuck in the tree!" Barkpaw was seriously stuck; it was as though there was super glue on the tree! "Help me instead of laughing your heads off!"

Soon Spottedleaf was kind enough to help him get his head out of the tree after rofming for some time. "Okay, here you go…aaaah!" she squealed and leaped backwards after Barkpaw's head finally got out. "You're f-face…you've got bark glued on your face! HAHAHAHAHA!" She began to rofm for the second time.

"It's not funny!" Barkpaw hissed as Mudclaw and Runningnose started to rofm with Spottedleaf. "Now, help me!"

But alas, they couldn't, and so Barkpaw had to walk to the Moonstone with bark stuck on his face. He ignored the mrrows of laughter coming from the other three medicine cats. Spottedleaf seemed to be rofming while walking! That was pretty weird.

Soon they reached the Moonstone, just when the moon was shining high in the sky, indicating that the medicine cats go in to share tongues with StarClan, like always. Runningnose led the way into Mouthermouth, with Barkpaw at the rear, too embarrassed to show himself to StarClan.

Once they reached the Moonstone, Mudclaw announced: "Let us go and meet with StarClan" while still laughing at Barkpaw when he set eyes on him. Barkpaw snorted and waited until all the other medicine cats put their nose on the cold stone before copying them.

…

Barkpaw opened his eyes and saw a starry forest around him. "StarClan territory…duh." He muttered to himself.

"Ah!"

A voice sounded behind him and Barkpaw knew straightaway it was a StarClan cat. It was Heatherstar; the former WindClan leader. He nodded to her with respect; he could still see through the bark, but only just faintly.

But he hissed with rage when Heatherstar too started to rofm once catching sight of the bark glued on his face. "Hahaha!" she laughed. "That is like…so hilarious!"

"STOP LAUGHING AND GRANT ME MY MEDICINE CAT NAME!" Barkpaw yowled, impatient. "I'm sick and tired of hearing cats laughing at the bark stuck on my face! It wasn't my fault!"

"Uhh…well, it is, because you didn't look where you were going." Heatherstar laughed some more, getting on Barkpaw's nerves.

"Just give me my name already!"

"Fine…By the powers of StarClan, I give you your medicine cat name." Heatherstar giggled more and then announced while laughing: "From this day onwards, you will be known, to every cat in all the Clans…" she did a drumroll, and signalled that Barkpaw do the same.

Barkpaw snorted at Heatherstar's immaturity and did a drumroll, aware that he was immature himself.

"…as…" she stopped the drumroll and started rofming.

Barkpaw exploded. "JUST TELL ME ALREADY!" he shrieked.

"AS BARKFACE!" Heatherstar declared, and burst out laughing some more.

The newly named Barkface was so mad that he started doing melee attacks on Heatherstar. {wow…} But then suddenly, he woke up, and the bark was off his face.

"YEESS!" he cried with glee. Then he remembered his dream. "What a stupid name," he growled to himself. "Barkface."

"BWAHAHAHA!"

Barkface realised that Spottedleaf had already woken and started rofming again. "Barkface! What a laugh! I bet you your ancestors were laughing too!"

"SHUT UP!"

"YOU SHUT UP, MISTER!" that was Mudclaw, and Runningnose woke up with a start.

"…huh?" Runningnose blinked sleepily and noticed Spottedleaf laughing. "What's with her?"

"H-h-he's…c-c-c-c-c-called…" Spottedleaf started cracking up. "His ancestors named him B-Barkface!"

"HAHAHAH!" Now the other two medicine cats were laughing crazily, getting on Barkface's nerves.

"YOU'RE ALL MEAN AND CRUEL AND SELFISH!" he screamed. "I'm going back to camp myself!" And with that he fled from the laughter in the Moonstone and ran all the way home, not realising that once he announced his name to WindClan and explained why he got it that they were going to start rofming too.

The End

Was it good, or not good? I put a lot of effort into this story! Well anyways, next chapter I'll be writing about Lionheart and how he got his warrior name…Oh yeah! Please help me think of a she-cat to do a story on! I just realised that I'm writing about the toms, not the she-cats! Also, give me an example with the she-cat so I get an idea of my stories. Thanks a lot! I'll try to update as soon as I can!
