EPISODE 8
*The room is dark. A hole is in front of the door, and two cats are digging in it.*
?: Are we done yet?
Other ?: Shhh!
*Willowheart and Mothstar climb out of the big hole*
Mothstar: (whispering) Okay, do your thing, Willowheart!
*Willowheart gives a quiet, low whistle. A bunch of explosives march to her in single file, and end up falling in the hole.*
Willowheart: (whispering) The others should be here about now.
*As if on cue, the other hosts and co-hosts pad into the room and flick on the lights*
Redfang: Camera che—AAAAAAH!
*The other cats fall into the hole as well*
Rockypaw: Bombies! Bombies! !
Smokesplash: What's the meaning of this? !
Willowheart: (peeks into hole) Hi! How's the air down there?
Nightfrost: Why did you do this, Willowy?
Willowheart: (holds up match) Cannonball! (jumps into pit with lit match)
Mothstar: (poofs away just in time)
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
*The hosts and co-hosts and whatever fly everywhere and fall unconscious*
Mothstar: (poofs back) Now we just have to wait. (pulls out Bagel Bites) Nom nom nom! (No really, I want Bagel Bites. They're like mini pizzas! I mean really mini. I typed this sentence at exactly 3: 48 PM and I'm going to see if I can have a snack. *gets Cheez-Its*)
*3 hours, 36 minutes, 58-and-a-half seconds later*
Nightfrost: Urrrgh…
Palesmoke: Where am I?
Shimmerpaw: Who are you? (points to Palesmoke) Wait…who am I? I know my name's Shimmerpaw, but what the catnip am I doing here?
Redfang: Language, Shimmerpaw! Language! Wait…how do I know your name? Why am I being so bossy to you?
Rockypaw: (pokes Silverstreak) Steeky! Steeky! Whu—huh? Steeky? Whah is goin onz?
(Other characters are experiencing similar things)
Mothstar: (wipes sauce off face) You are at The Warriors Truth or Dare Show!
Palesmoke: How do you (points to audience) know my name but not what I look like?
Chorus of kids (in that little kid sing-song voice): Mothstar forgot to put your description!
Palesmoke: pale gray tom with darker gray paws, chest, and tail-tip and green eyes
Mothstar: There, happy?
Chorus of kids (again in that sing-song voice): Thank you Mrs. Mothstar!
Mothstar: I'M NOT A MRS.! I am not married! I am a miss! Call me Mothstar!
Patchclaw: Can we get back to the script? !
(Patchclaw is unheard over Mothstar yelling at the kids)
Patchclaw: How can I get their attention?
Shinyheart: (goes into labor)
Patchclaw: That works.
Shinyheart: PATCHCLAW YOU'RE THE FATHER OF THESE CATNIP KITS THAT HAVE DECIDED TO COME RIGHT NOW! DO SOMETHING!
Patchclaw: I'M NOT A MEDICINE CAT! WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO?
Shinyheart: GO FIND ONE!
(Random cat—AKA Palesmoke—rushes up and starts poofing up a bramble den around Shinyheart)
Palesmoke: The medicine cat's coming!
Honeyleaf: I'm here! Maintenance, have you constructed the nursery?
Palesmoke: Yes! (scoots back to let Honeyleaf through)
Smokesplash: Whoa whoa whoa. The script says we were all forgetful. How did Honeyleaf remember?
Mothstar: While Palesmoke was making the nursery I told Honeyleaf she was the medicine cat of the show and poofed medicine cat knowledge into her brain.
Smokesplash: What's a brain?
Mothstar: *facepalm*
Honeyleaf: (screeches from inside den) WHERE'S THAT CATNIP APPRENTICE OF MINE? !
Shimmerpaw: (runs up with herbs in her mouth) RIGHT HERE, CATNIP MENTOR! (enters nursery)
Smokesplash: I'm guessing the same applies to Shimmerpaw?
Rockypaw: La la la la la la l—oof! (crashes into random pole)
Everyone: *sweat drop*
Leafkit: Papa, what's "catnip" mean?
Everyone again: *gasp*
Mothstar: (poofs that bad word from her brain)
Shinyheart: (from inside nursery) PATCHCLAW!
Patchclaw: Catnip.
Mothstar: *facepalm*
Rockypaw: WHO IZ I?
Mothstar: (pulls out script) That, that, yeah we did that, that other thing…oh! (puts away script) *clears throat* Nightfrost, you are now a security cat of this show. Congratulations. *shakes Nightfrost's paw* Next!
Patchclaw: (pads up)
Mothstar: Patchclaw, you are now…wait_a_cotton_pickin_minute. (those "_" symbols are there because I didn't want spaces but the last time I did that [back in Episode 3] it didn't show the unspaced word on the site. So that phrase is said without any pauses. I got that phrase from 'Spyro: Season of Ice'—a GBA game that I have. If you don't know what GBA means then you don't like video games.)
Mothstar: Patchclaw, you are now…wait_a_cotton_pickin_minute. Do you know how to build? Poof up a den.
Patchclaw: (claps paws once and poofs up a sorry-looking pile of brambles, leaves, and sticks)
Mothstar: (poofs it away) Patchclaw, you are now a camera cat of this show. Congratulations. *shakes Patchclaw's paw* Next!
Smokesplash: (pads up)
Mothstar: (thinks This is fun!) Smokesplash, you are now a camera cat of this show. Congrats. *shakes Smoke's paw* Next!
Willowheart: (pads up)
Mothstar: Willowheart, you are now a host of this show. However, since you are expecting kits, you are now a queen.
Everyone: *gasp*
Nightfrost: (says nothing but looks on proudly)
Willowheart: Thanks, Mothstar. (gives Nightfrost a quick smooch)
Nightfrost: (passes out)
Mothstar: (rolls eyes) Next!
Silverstreak: (pads up)
Mothstar: Silverstreak, you are now a co-host of this show. However, since you are expecting kits, you are now a queen.
Everyone: *gasp*
Silverstreak: IT'S SMOKESPLASH! (gives him a big huge kiss and waltzes away)
Smokesplash: (faints)
Mothstar: (rolls eyes again) Next!
Rockypaw: (pads up)
Mothstar: Rockypaw, you are now a security cat in training. Congrats, blah blah blah, shakes paw! *shakes Rockypaw's paw* Next!
Redfang: (pads up)
Mothstar: Redfang, you are now a host of this show, great job, yeah. *shakes Redfang's paw* Next!
Leafkit: (pads up)
Mothstar: Um you're just a kit.
Leafkit: DO A THINGY FOR ME TOO! (bites Mothstar)
Mothstar: Ow! Fine fine fine fine! Leafkit, you are now Leafpaw. You are going to be trained alongside Shimmerpaw as the show's medicine cats. Yay. *shakes Leafkit's paw*
Leafpaw: IT'S LEAFPAW!
Mothstar: (grimaces) Got it, got it, Leafpaw! Now maybe you should go help with your fellow medicine cat peoples! (jerks finger-paw thingy towards nursery)
Leafpaw: (runs to nursery)
Mothstar: AND I'M THE BOSS! Whoo! And Shinyheart is going to stay a queen and take care of Silverstreak and Willowheart's kits so they can do their jobs. Honeyleaf is the medicine cat, and Shimmerpaw and Leafpaw are her apprentices.
Honeyleaf: (from in nursery) You're doing great, Shinyheart! Almost there! (pause) It's a tom!
Shinyheart: Is it breathing? Is it?
Shimmerpaw: It is now.
Leafpaw: Another one's coming!
Honeyleaf: It's the last one. There's just two.
Leafpaw: It's a she-kit!
Honeyleaf: Great job, Shinyheart! Is there any moss or water…?
Mothstar: (poofs up tree with moss at the bottom and a brook)
Leafpaw: (runs out, claws off some moss, soaks it in the brook, and runs back)
Shimmerpaw: Eat this borage, Shinyheart. It'll help your milk come.
Honeyleaf: (pads out of the nursery with Leafpaw) Patchclaw, come see your kits!
Mothstar: (follows Patchclaw into the nursery)
*The nursery is comfortably dim, despite the state-of-the-art electric lights outside the brambles. Shinyheart is laying quietly on her side with a ball of moss by her head. Two kits—a brown-and-white splotched tom (who has unopened amber eyes) and a gold she-kit with light ginger patches (with unopened yellow eyes)—are suckling with soft purrs at her belly.*
Shimmerpaw: What are you going to name them?
Shinyheart: (lifts head weakly) I was thinking Splotchkit for the tom. *licks him*
Patchclaw: (softly) That's a great name, Shinyheart. The she-kit looks almost like you. What about Shinekit?
Shinyheart: That's perfect. Welcome to the show, Splotchkit and Shinekit.
