Tigerstar, Brambleclaw, and Hawkfrost were searching threw boxes of old tapes for songs to sing at the Showcase. The three brothers had gotten permission (although it didn't really count) to look through the old tapes in the monitor room. Thank you Graystripe! Brambleclaw thought. Then, suddenly, Hawkfrost smacked his shoulder.
"Look!" He hissed. "Crowfeather and Nightcloud are yelling at each other again." Brambleclaw scrambled to the monitors, while Tigerstar amped up the volume.
"…Leafpool!" Nightcloud was shouting. "Honestly, if you guys broke up, why are you so hooked up on her?!"
"I'm NOT hooked up on her!" Crowfeather yelled back. "Honestly, just because I nodded to Squirrelflight doesn't mean I'm secretly asking her about Leafpool!" Brambleclaw winced inside. Squirrelflight was his ex-girlfriend. Now, they barely looked like each other. He felt like Leafpool. At least Squirrelflight hadn't found another boyfriend.
"Just yesterday I heard you complaining to Whitetail how much you wished I was as calm as Leafpool, as nice and as sweet! Why don't you just break up with me if you miss her so much?"
"I do miss her!" Crowfeather screamed. "Fine, I admit it!"
"So what? You're breaking up with me?" Nightcloud screeched, her face getting red.
"Yes!" Crowfeather threw his hands up in the air. "I'm breaking up with you!" He stalked off angrily, Nightcloud staring after him.
"You can't break up with me!" Tigerstar turned down the volume; laughing so hard it was getting hard to breathe.
"Oh man!" He gasped. "That was priceless!" Hawkfrost wiped tears of mirth from his eyes.
"I need to congratulate Crowfeather, the next time I see him!" Brambleclaw chortled. Tigerstar turned back to the monitor, and froze.
"Guys, check this out," he said, motioning for the two younger boys to come closer. "This is Mapleshade and Crookedstar." Brambleclaw and Hawkfrost peered over his shoulder. Mapleshade used to be a teacher at the school, and insisted on coaching particular students so that they could one day be famous. But she had tried to kill Crookedstar while coaching him, which landed her in an asylum FAR away from the town. Now, Tigerstar clicked the play button. Mapleshade, in a long, brown and orange hippie skirt was sliding a disk into a player. Crookedstar was in a chair, nervousness plain in his eyes.
"Just watch me, sweetie," she purred, before the music started to play. Hawkfrost snorted.
"Trust in me?" He asked. "The Selena Gomez version? Seriously?"
"Shut up and watch!"
Trust in me, just in me
Close your eyes and trust in me
You can sleep safe and sound
Knowing I am around
Mapleshade slunk around Crookedstar, a malevolent smirk on her lips.
Slip into silent slumber
Sail on a silver mist
Slowly and surely your senses
Will cease to resist
Trust in me, just in me
Close your eyes and trust in me
Trust in me, just in me
Close your eyes and trust in me
Slip into silent slumber
Sail on a silver mist
Slowly and surely your senses
Will cease to resist
Trust in me, just in me
Close your eyes and trust in me
Trust in me, trust in me
Trust in me
Brambleclaw stared at the screen.
"That was creepy," he said finally. "But now, I gotta find a song. So everyone shut up, OK?"
Don't judge me for using a Selena Gomez song! I personally like her. So, what do you think? No one is evil in this story, because I love Tigerstar and Hawkfrost way too much. Reviews are love!
