Chapter 6, Forest of Wind

Thunderbutt was happy. Many cats were coming to join his new Clan! There was Poofang, from ThunderClan - he had a certain type of eating disorder. There was Yellowpool, from RiverClan - she... well she didn't swim in the usual type of river. Also, there was Deafears, from ShadowClan, along with Blindeyes, his mate. They... Thunderbutt hadn't met them yet, but he thought they might not be very useful. But more cats meant a stronger Clan. So he was accepting all cats that wanted to join.

He was also teaching Stenchkit (now Stenchpaw) how to write, and her newest writing assignment was to make allegiances for the new Clan. He was also puzzling over a name.

Stenchpaw was having an easy time of it. She learned quickly.

"Thunderbutt?" Stenchpaw called. "Who is the deputy going to be? And will StarClan grant you your nine lives?"
Thunderbutt said, "I need to call a Clan meeting. And I have finally decided on the Clan name. I shall call them by it."
"But they don't know it - do they?" Stenchkit asked.
Thunderbutt shrugged this off. "Let all cats of WhiffyClan old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the relaxing air-mat that I sit on constantly."
Everyone looked up, a little surprised looking. "I make this announcement to let you know stuff," he continued. Everyone else thought that was a bit obvious. "Our new Clan name shall be WhiffyClan. I shall not take nine lives, and all cats that are leaders of WhiffyClan shall have 'butt' at the end of their name instead of 'star'. We need a deputy... so... um... Poofang shall be the new deputy of WhiffyClan!"
Poofang looked surprised. "But-" he began.
"Wait!" Thunderbutt said suddenly. "No, actually. You're right. You can't be deputy. Yellowpool will be the new deputy of WhiffyClan!"
Yellowpool says, "But I thought I was going to be a medicine cat."
Thunderbutt said, "Oh. You're right. Forget that. Poofang shall be the new deputy of WhiffyClan! And Yellowpool will be the new deputy. Stenchpaw, update your allegiances list. Wait! There will be more changes. Blindeyes, and Deafears, you'll move to the elders den. You're obviously useless."
Blindeyes said, "No way!" Then Deafears said, "..." Thunderbutt realized Deafears couldn't hear what he was saying. Blindeyes communicated with a sign language she couldn't actually see.
Stenchpaw said, "Have you made up your mind yet?"
Thunderbutt sighed. "No. Actually, I know what to do! We'll make a new den for the disabled! Blindeyes and Deafears will live there. And so will Snowpaw, because she can't smell anything. But first, come here Snowpaw and Stenchpaw. Snowpaw, I name you Snownose. Because you can't smell anything. Stenchpaw, I name you Stencheart. Turdpaw, I name you Turdfoot. No, you can't keep your crystal in the den. Now update your list, Stencheart!"
