Chapter Seven, In Search of Love

Stencheart yawned. Eight moons had passed since she had been made a warrior, and since Thunderbutt had founded WhiffyClan. And she was bored. Deafears and Blindeyes had moved into the elder's den after having their kits, Spitpaw and Dumbpaw. What Stencheart couldn't believe was that her sister, Snownose, had had kits with Turdfoot! Unbelievable. Anyways, Snownose had given birth to Yawnpaw. Stencheart had been given Yawnpaw as an apprentice. She was quite hard to train, as all she did was yawn. Stencheart had gotten tired of that. Snownose padded up to Stencheart. "Hi," she muttered.

"Hi sis!" Stencheart said brightly. "How's Turdfoot? Did you finally talk him out of keeping his crystal next to the warriors den?" Turdfoot couldn't keep his crystal in the den, so he had tried to put it right outside the warriors den. Snownose had been assigned by Thunderbutt to stop him from doing it.

Snownose looked at the ground. "We just broke up." she said glumly.

Stencheart couldn't make herself to be sad, but tried to sound sympathetic. "Look, maybe that isn't quite such a bad thing. I mean, he was kind of... obsessed with that crystal."

"Yeah, so is Poofang!" Snownose defended herself.

Stencheart sighed, and something else. "Yes, but you didn't choose Poofang as your mate, now did you?"

Snownose ignored her. "Anyway, have you seen Poofang lately?"

"Why?" Stenchear couldn't help thinking that there was at least one exciting thing going on, the Snownose x Poofang drama.

"Well, he was chasing after Turdfoot's crystal earlier."

Stencheart giggled. "Right. Don't worry, I'm sure Turdfoot has hidden it somewhere nice and snuggly."

Snownose feebly laughed. "So, how's Yawnpaw's training going?"

Stencheart avoided the question. It was embarrassing, she hadn't been able to teach Yawnpaw anything. All she did was yawn. "Well, I'm thinking of holding a training session later today. So, do you think she'll take it badly, you guys breaking up? I heard that Spottedstar is offering councelling sessions, if you need them. I also heard that she is very pricy, though."

Snownose was about to say something when Thunderbutt flew up from his den onto the branch of a tree where he announced things from. "Cats of WhiffyClan, join beneath the StinkBranch for a Clan Stinking!"

Stencheart giggled. She loved that summoning.
Snownose wondered why it was called a Clan Stinking.
Poofang padded discontentedly under Thunderbutt. He had been chasing Turdfoot's crystal, but Thunderbutt had made him come back for the Clan meeting. It was so annoying.
Yawnpaw yawned.
Dumbpaw said, "Huh? Whassat?"
Spitpaw spat.

"Cats of WhiffyClan! I have news for you!"
Yanwpaw yawned.
Dumbpaw said, "Huh? Whassat?"
Spitpaw spat. "So what?"
Thunderbutt paid no attention to the apprentices as Stencheart broke out in wild laughter on the floor. "I have decided to leave WhiffyClan!" He announced grandly.

Stencheart immediately stopped laughing, and looked up, her olive eyes wide. "Huh? Whyzat?" she asked, then cursed under her breath. She had picked it up from Dumbpaw!

Thunderbutt dipped his ginger head to her, and told them all, while gradually letting himself down, floating, "I have decided to search the world in search of love! There is no she-cat here for me. I shall be back, once I have found my love. Poofang shall take over as leader, and I shall let him choose the temporary deputy."

Stencheart looked up. "You're looking for love?"

Thunderbutt nodded. "Farewell, cats of WhiffyClan!"

Thunderbutt ended his speech with a farewell trumpeting and flew off into the distance, still sitting down.

Their great leader, Thunderbutt, had left their young Clan...
In search of love.

Poofang immediately rushed off to see if he could find Turdfoot's crystal again, while Yawnpaw yawned. Spitpaw spat. Dumbpaw said, "Huh? Whazedoing?"
Somethings just never change.
But some do.

Ooh, cliff hanger! What do you think will happen? Will he find love? Who do you think will be chosen as deputy? Wait, what? Only 855 words! Darn it!
