"Stations everyone!" Tansy called from behind her camera. Cinderpelt immediately rushed into her chair and sat down. Mistystar, of course, didn't go right to her scoreboard, instead she stood beside Cinderpelt. "Welcome to Win A Date With Cinderpelt, hosted by the amazing, beautiful, talented, smart Cinderpelt herself! And it looks like today's hostages-I mean, contestants are: Oakheart, Ravenpaw, and Crookedstar! And they'll be taking her on a date to: Leopardstar's Astrology Lab, featuring the all-new planetarium, with five-star quality!" The audience gave a ripple of laughter. Mistystar ran back to her whiteboard and the audience applauded and cheered for the contestants.
"Alright," Cinderpelt started, " first question: Who's the prettiest she-cat EVER?"
Crookedstar answered first "I believe Silverstream is."
"Bluestar, I believe. And that's not just her pelt. Her spirit also is, and, even though she turned her back on StarClan, she came back." Oakheart said.
Ravenpaw thought for a few moments before he answered. "I really don't know. I've seen Honeyfern in StarClan, and she's very beautiful, but, I believe you are, too."
"Mistystar, give a point to Ravenpaw!" Cinderpelt said. Mistystar promptly did so. "So, Ravenpaw has one point, and Crookedstar and Oakheart still have none."
"Okay, time for question two: Who would you be if you could change your name?" Cinderpelt asked.
"Stormstar! I would change my name to Stormstar! That's who I'm supposed to be! I'd remain Stormkit, then Stormpaw, then Storm-whatever, then Stormstar!" Crookedstar answers, giving Cinderpelt barely enough time to finish.
"I'm perfectly content with my name," Oakheart answered.
"I'd want to be Ravenwing," Ravenpaw began, soon after Oakheart finished, "I really like the name, and I sort of wished I had asked Firestar to give me a name before they left."
Cinderpelt nodded her head. "Give Crookedstar a point on that one, Mistystar." She quickly put a tally under Crookedstar's name. "Now, Crookedstar and Ravenpaw both have a point each, while Oakheart still has zero!"
"Question three: Who would you be with right now if you weren't here?" Cinderpelt asked with actual curiosity gleaming in her eyes.
"Duh! With Bluestar, on the date I had to rain check because of this!" Oakheart yelled out to Cinderpelt.
"I'd want to be with Willowbreeze more than anything now." Crookedstar answered much more calmly.
"With Barley, sleeping in his barn, just being with him for another quarter moon..." Ravenpaw's voice trailed off into a soft sob. Cinderpelt handed him a box of tissues. "There, there, Ravenpaw, it's okay. Tell you what, StarClan cats can come down from StarClan, so, after the show, you can stay with Barley as long as you'd like." Ravenpaw got emotional, now in joy, still sobbing, now into Cinderpelt's thick gray fur. She wrapped her tail around his shoulders comfortingly. "Mistystar, give Ravenpaw a point. I think he deserves one." Mistystar was also slightly teary as she placed a tally under Ravenpaw's name. "Ravenpaw now has two points, Crookedstar one, and Oakheart still none."
"Okay, last question:" Cinderpelt began, still a hint of sadness in her voice, "On a scale from one to ten, ten being the highest yes, and one being the lowest no?"
"Ten. Why less?" Crookedstar answered quickly.
"Why love her ten when you could love her eleven? I love Bluestar more than StarClan itself!" Said Oakheart, not at all hiding the pride in his voice.
"I never had one..." You can guess who said that.
"I like the way you think, Oakheart! Give him a point, Mistystar!" Cinderpelt yelled over her shoulder.
"So Ravenpaw won with two points, and Crookedstar and Oakheart with one."
"Okay, Ravenpaw, don't be too down. How about-we invite Barley to come with us?"
Ravenpaw was slumped down in his chair, sulking over Barley, but right when she finished, he jumped up in surprise. "You really mean it?"
"Of course I do."
Then, somehow the Wop turned on and Ravenpaw made a happy dance out of it. Then the camera turned to Tansy.
"Okay guys! that's all the dating for today, and if your wondering, Barley was backstage the whole time! Yeah, we knew that's what Ravenpaw would want. But anyway, today's interview is with Bluestar, and why she chose Fireheart over Whitestorm, after Tigerclaw betrayed her and the only one she could trust was Whitestorm!" The camera cut off, but just like last time, a new one turned on quickly, but it was hard to see Bluestar; she was half-invisible in her chair. "So, tell us Bluestar, why did you choose Fireheart, over Whitestorm after Tigerclaw betrayed you, even though Whitestorm was the only cat you could truly trust?"
"Well, It was simply because I was on my last life. I elected my deputy late because I was thinking about to choose Fireheart as deputy, or Whitestorm. True, I could trust Whitestorm over any cat, but I knew he never wanted to be leader, either. So, I chose Fireheart instead, and look at the great leader he became."
"So, why did you lose all faith when Tigerclaw betrayed you?"
"I thought that if he had betrayed me, then StarClan had let that happen. But I never realized that it was all part of the prophecy, that fire would save the Clan, and until I was dying, I never realized that Firestar was the fire in that prophecy."
"Thank you for those answers, Bluestar. Until next time, on Win A Date With Cinderpelt!" And the camera shut off.
Yes, I know I asked for Oakheart last time, but I just thought it would be funny to have him always rambling on and on about Bluestar.
