I may not be able to update weekly now, but I will be updating, that's for sure. But I won't take as long as I was doing. My apologies again.

*Spottedpaw padded around ThunderClan territory with Bluestar*

"Can you find the juniper berries at all?" Bluestar asked worriedly.

To her dismay, Spottedpaw shook her head. "No sign of it at all," she replied. "Spottedpaw think that something about the weather has affected the poor berries."

*Spottedpaw pads around, not knowing what to do*

*Bluestar followed her*

"Do you think the Clan would be able to survive without juniper berries?" Bluestar meowed.

Spottedpaw sighed. "It really depends," she replied honestly. "But Spottedpaw think she still do need some fresh ones. And it's not even leaf fall yet..."

"Let's head back," Bluestar suggested. "Who knows, we might be able to find some on our way back to camp."

But her voice was full of doubt, and it was obvious they wouldn't find any, anyway.

*Spottedpaw and Bluestar headed back to camp*

On the way to camp, however, Spottedpaw noticed something. "Spottedpaw spotted a spotted leaf!"

"Spotted...what?" Bluestar was confused.

"Spottedpaw spotted a spotted leaf!"

"You spotted a what?" Bluestar couldn't understand what the heck this medicine cat apprentice was saying.

"Spottedpaw. Spotted. A. Spotted. Leaf." Spottedpaw sighed frustratedly. "She says it's right there."

*Points at the top of a bush*

*Bluestar looks up*

"Oh. My. God," she breathed. "It really is a spotted leaf. Good spotting, Spottedpaw."

*Spottedpaw glowered with pride*

"Because of your excellent spotting," Bluestar continued, "I'll give you your warrior name now-"

*PoX appears out of nowhere*

"But this is happening too quick!" PoX protested. "Make it longer! Make it longer! MAKE IT LONGER!"

Bluestar was shocked. "It's too short?" she gasped.

"Y-E-S!" PoX shouted. "Now B-Y-E!"

*PoX disappears*

Bluestar muttered, "What is she, the Goddess of this Story?"

*PoX appears again*

"In fact, you're correct!" PoX said.

*PoX disappears again*

"... damn," Bluestar sighed.

*Bluestar turned to Spottedpaw, who was staring at her, dumbfounded*

Bluestar asked, "... what?"

"Spottedpaw is wondering what you're going to do after she has spotted a spotted leaf."

"But there's really nothing good about spotting a spotted leaf, because I can spot a spotted leaf too if I spotted carefully, Spottedpaw!" Bluestar answered.

"But Spottedpaw spotted the spotted leaf first, because you couldn't spot the spotted leaf without Spottedpaw's help!" Spottedpaw protested.

"Can we stop with the 'spot' words?" Bluestar snapped. "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired!"

"Spottedpaw is sick of Bluestar's jibber jabber and would like to get back to camp to treat Speckletail!" Spottedpaw meowed.

"Did you even hear what I just said?"

"Something about being tired of being sick, but Bluestar is not sick, anyway."

"Actually, I am."

*Bluestar coughed*

"... you're bluffing."

"... yeah."

*Bluestar stops fake coughing*

"Should we do your medicine cat ceremony thing now?" Bluestar asked.

"First of all," Spottedpaw said importantly, "only medicine cats are allowed to give medicine cat apprentices their medicine cat name. And secondly, Spottedpaw realised that we haven't even passed one thousand words yet."

"And how many words are we up to?"

"685, Bluestar," Spottedpaw answered.

"And what now?"

"692, Bluestar," Spottedpaw answered.

"And now?"

"Spottedpaw is getting angry because she even has to spot how many words are used," Spottedpaw growled.

"Yes, but I want to use as many words as possible so I can grant you your medicine cat name!"

"First of all," Spottedpaw repeated from what is said above, "only medicine cats are allowed to give medicine cat apprentices their medicine cat-"

"I'm sick and tired of hearing you speak such nonsense!" Bluestar snapped.

"Oh!" Spottedleaf sais suddenly.

"What?" Bluestar asked, her temples cracking with impatience.

"We've reached 800 plus words already!" Spottedpaw squealed, although it is not confirmed YET whether she's lying or not.

"Are you lying?"

"... I was, but now Spottedpaw has confirmed that this conversation has brought her and Bluestar above 800 words by 30, which is a huge improvement in her case." Spottedpaw nodded, as though she was a very important cat.

Which she wasn't.

"Now we can do the medicine cat name thingy?" Bluestar squeaked.

"First of all-"

"Shut up with that!" Bluestar snapped. "I shall call you Spottedleaf because you spotted a spotted leaf. Happy?"

Silence.

"Happy... ?"

More silence.

"Hey... are you even like... listening?" Bluestar asked.

"OMG Spottedleaf spotted another spotted leaf!" she gasped.

"... I guess she half-did and half-not," Bluestar grumbled, before seeing what Spottedleaf was looking at.

"It's so shiny and colourful!" Spottedleaf meowed. "It looks like it's going to explode..."

"W-wait..." Bluestar studied the 'spotted 3D leaf that was round' carefully. "This... this is no leaf! It's a bomb, you dummy!"

"What?"

"We're GONNA DIE!"

"WHAT?"

*BOOM*

-dead-

The End of their lives. Muahaha...

PoX's Note: Well... that was boring, but I'm really kind of rushing on writing right now. It's a race against time, no doubt. But please review and thanks for reading! Please enjoy your weekend!
