A/N: HELLOOOOO EVERYBODY! WELCOME TO THE FINAL DAY OF 2013! Or first day of 2014, depending on when ya read this... or when I post this... heh... SO, here is a new years themed chapter, just 'cause! Wrote this in the heat of the moment (meaning I'm super exited and going with the first idea that comes to me), so it's probably gonna be crap. I do not care; this chappy's gonna be FUN! :DDDDDDD (quick note: this one is narrated by Lionblaze!)
Aw, yeah! Leaf-bare break is the BOMB! And tomorrow is the first of the new year! I'll be throwing the party to end all parties! For this year, at least... whatever, it's gonna totally boss! Almost everyone I know is invited, including all those students I barely know, like Silverheart, Stormstar, Stormpelt, Lightbreeze, and even Hawkfight! I hope Cinderheart doesn't claw my eyes out for that.
Now that I think about it, this school is, like, 80% she-cats. What's up with that?! That leaves most of us guys without a date. It ain't right. Better remind my best guy friends.
RoaringLion sent a party invite to: BlindGenius, BurningFire, CloudsOfCourage, TheUnseenFlame, and StormOfRaindrops
RoaringLion: Yo, guys! Reminding ya 'bout the big blowout party tonight. Be there or miss the biggest bash EVER at the Academy! Lotsa girls'll be there!
Alright, that'll take care of that. Back to setting up. "Yo, Splashstorm! Could ya help me with the decorations?"
Nodding, he laughs in my direction. "You didn't have to send that text to me, y'know. I'm right here!"
"Well, I put all my great friends on that texting list; Jayfeather, Firestar, Cloudtail, Flametail, and you. It felt, I dunno, odd, not putting your user there."
"Still not seeing your point there, but thanks."
"No prob," I grin. Now, where is my leather bracelet? Ah, there. I like the feeling of leather against my fur, plus it looks super cool with the spikes. What about my Doctor Who pin? Right, I left it on my Minecraft bandana. I unclip it, and stick it on the leather that circles my left foreleg. Gotta wear something that relates to Doctor Who, Minecraft, or something else cool like that.
"So, when did you say this huge "bash" is starting?" Splashstorm calls out from the top bunk bed where he was hanging wickedly awesome decorations.
"In 'bout half an hour." I reply. I'm too focused on not dropping the mini disco ball that I'm gonna turn on at midnight to give him a second glance.
"Really? Because Cinderheart and Jayfeather are here. Oh, there's Hollyleaf." He responds, doing his best not to laugh at my error.
"Seriously? Aw, FUDGE!"
"Fudge what?" Cinderheart laughs, opening the door. "Did you lose your balance and fall?"
"Wouldn't be the first time it's happened," Jayfeather smirks, taking the chance to embarrass me.
Rolling my eyes, I counter his assault. "Oh really? Says the blind cat."
"Shut up." He mutters, even though I know he secretly enjoys our little skirmishes. It's all in good fun! Oh, StarClan, I'm starting to sound like Hollyleaf! Please, anything but that!
Getting back on topic, I answer Cinderheart. "We're just not ready for guests yet. As you can see, this place still looks like a complete mess."
"Well it's good we came, then! Why do you think we arrived early?" Hollyleaf smiles.
"I mistyped the time on the invite?"
"We're here to help you, silly!"
"Oh..." I give a sheepish smile. "Right..."
Cinderheart shakes her head, laughter painting her face. "Let's get to work. It's a party, people!"
xXx
Just as we finish hanging the final decoration, knocking sounds at the door. "It's open," I yell. "Come on in!"
First to arrive, my guys are here. "Sup, bro?" Cloudtail high-paws me. "I brought my girlfriend; hope that's cool with you."
"Totally, it's great. Firestar, hey! Is Sandstorm still in love with you and Dustpelt?"
He laughs. "As lovesick as ever! Also meaning she's right behind us, with Dustpelt in tow."
StarClan, that girl is hopeless. But I bet Firestar will give in eventually. Sandy's pretty, and can sing like Songflare! I hear their band got a record deal or something.
Speaking of TB, here they are! "Heyyo, TB!" I call out. "How's the music business goin'?"
"Great, thanks." Flametail replies. I rush over to give him a paw bump. "Hey, this isn't a gig, right? 'Cause we didn't prepare anything."
"Nah, I got Shimmersong to DJ."
"She DJ's?"
"Dang right."
"No way."
"HELLOOOOOOOO EVERYBODY!"
"Told ya."
I heard her once, and it was all I needed. We've got half an hour 'til midnight, and a lot of partying to do! She can handle it.
Aw, no. Hawkflight. Gotta think, gotta think!
"Hey, Cinderheart! Let's dance!" I shout over the crowd. Good thing the dorms here are friggin' HUGE. Shimmersong's playing Blurred Lines, which is apparently one of the most popular songs this year. Thankfully, Cinderheart accepts. Everyone else has started to dance, too. By the time Shimmersong is blasting Thrift Shop, we're all just laughing and trying to rap along! Mapleshade is swearing her head off every chance she gets, of course. But the rest of us are being normal and not all swear-y.
"Guys, guys, GUYS!" Shimmersong calls out. "We have exactly ONE MINUTE until 2014! MAKE THE MOST OF IT!"
Oh no, she's doing this?! You can do whatever you want, and and as soon as the new year begins, everyone will act like it never happened. It's super cool, but also can be super awkward.
I see Cloudtail making his move on Brightheart, and I know how that's gonna end... you know the midnight new years eve tradition! And then there's Sandstorm. Oh boy, she's lovin' this! There's Flametail, doing... wait, huh? Flametail?! I thought he swore of she-cats! Great StarClan! Well, if I were him, I'd probably be flirting with whoever I liked too...
"Yo, Hollyleaf!" I shout, and then dump my Sprite on her head. Hey, I said I'd get her back! I keep my promises.
There's Cinderheart! She'll be keeping tradition, I assume. I smile at the thought, but then, aw great. Hawkflight. I know her plans, too.
"FIVE! FOUR! THREE!"
I weave my way to Cinderheart. I have one second, oh my...
"TWO, ONE,"
That old tradition of the new years kiss.
"HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
