Greetings, readers! Did you like that last chapter? Good. To make up for not updating for months before, you get two chapters in only two days! Lucky you! Alright, now, I want to give a quick honourable mention to Ponyiowa for giving me valuable CC on almost every chapter! If Ponyiowa is reading this, I have fixed the mistakes you told me about. Thanks! Also, before we start the story, there will be a contest at the end, since you reviewers seem so keen to have one. Your welcome. Okay, enough of that. Chapter 5 officially starts…now!

DoodleNoodle appeared in the forest. I prowled up to her and hissed.

"Training is more important than pancakes, and don't you forget it. You should be here every night, ready to train, and not stuffed with pancakes!" I growled, my voice a deadly whisper. DoodleNoodle glared indignantly. Her large, pancaked-stuffed belly swung beneath her like a cow's utter. Yes, I have an ear for poetry. Similes are my specialty.

"He made me! Besides, it's better than Firestar being mad at me! At least now he might change my name…even though I look like an expecting queen, it's worth it!" she spat. I drew back and sat on my haunches. My eyes were slits.

"No kits for you! Your Clan comes first, DoodleNoodle! Get an abortion!" I yowled. DoodleNoodle gave me a curious look.

"Abortion? And…does that count as something I have to do because of my promise."

"Oh…it's a Twoleg thing…up here in the Dark Forest, we dead cats know all. Including Twoleg stuff. Never mind," I sputtered. DodoleNoodle gave me a suspicious look.

"Okay then…but anyway, I'm not having kits! I just said it looks like I am, because of the pancakes! Can we please start training?" she meowed in exasperation. I nodded and got up. Before lunging at her, I paused.

"What?" 'Doodle asked.

"Have you ever considered…pancake kits?"

"Oh my StarClan, can you forget it? A cat can't simply give birth to pancakes! It doesn't work! Mouse brain…" she muttered, and took a swipe at me. I growled and lunged.

DoodleNoodle pushed me off her with surprising force. Must be the wonderful training she'd been getting. I rolled away and sprang to my paws, bracing myself for her leap. Instead of leaping, she dived under my belly and scratched with thorn-sharp claws. I yowled.

"Stupid…apprentice!" I gasped as I scrambled away and then moved in to attack. 'Noodle's eyes glowed with ferocity. I sliced at her ear and relished her anguished yowl. I took her moment of recovery to leap on her back and swipe ferociously. Blood ran down her pelt and she collapsed as I performed a 'scruff shake' battle move on her. Suddenly I sensed the sun coming up down in ThunderClan.

"Good stuff. Now, go! Your Clan is waking!" I warned. DoodleNoodle seemed relieved to sleep and her form faded away almost immediately. I peered into ThunderClan camp to observe…

"DoodleNoodle! What happened?" Jayfeather meowed urgently, pawing 'Doodle. She woke up and stretched, but fell back onto her nest because of her wounds. Her pelt was stained red from ears to tail and her ear was partially torn, and her hind leg had a deep gash along it. Her neck was oozing blood. She blinked in the morning light and stared at Jayfeather.

"Must've been a thorn," she mumbled. If cats could facepalm, I would've facepalmed. Jayfeather looked uncertain.

"I don't think so, those wounds look pretty bad," he told her. 'Noodle examined her pelt.

"Nah, just a thorn. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be fine once I get out and about," she reassured him. Jayfeather seemed doubtful, but he left the den without another word.

The thorn excuse only works so many times, bee-brain, I told DoodleNoodle in her mind. She shook her head and ignored me. She groomed her red pelt and went outside to the clearing.

"Ah, DoodleNoodle! I was just looking for you-hey! Nice pelt! I like the colour. You simply must tell me where you got it done." Firestar complimented 'Noodle as he stalked over to her from across the clearing, admiring her blood-soaked pelt.

"The Dark Forest." She muttered under her breath, but Firestar didn't notice. He ushered her to stand below the Highrock.

"It really suits you, y'know? But anyhoo, I just want to thank you for making my evening so joyous at dinner. I think we shall change your name today!" he meowed. DoodleNoodle perked up at the thought of changing her name. Firestar bounded up the Highrock and called for a Clan meeting.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here for a Clan meeting!" he yowled. The Clan gathered with an air of curiosity. Firestar began.

"I think it is time we address DoodleNoodle abnormal name. I know I seemed a bit, ah, resentful, however we have talked out our differences and we are on good terms once more." Firestar paused to give DoodleNoodle a friendly wink. DoodleNoodle cowered in embarrassment, heat rising from her pelt.

"So, we shall change her name. She shall be an apprentice once more, not a warrior, and her name will be Maplepaw, in honour of the syrup we dined with last night. Her mentor shall once more be Graystripe," he finished. Maplepaw seemed slightly put off, but happier than she was when she was named DoodleNoodle. She bounded over to Firestar once the Clan had cheered and returned to their duties.

"Firestar?"

"Yes, Maplepaw?"

"Could we just change my name back to Dapplepaw? Possibly?" she asked cautiously, fearing the answer. She knew what would happen at her warrior ceremony if she was named Maplepaw. If she was just named after the Firestar's syrup…

"Oh, no, we can't do that! Why, Dapple just wouldn't fit with the warrior name I have planned for you. No, I'm sorry, Maplepaw," he answered cheerfully, deepening Maplepaw's fears. She nodded glumly and trudged to Graystripe.

"What are we doing today?" she asked him. Graystripe thought for a minute.

"Maybe…battle training?" he suggested. Maplepaw groaned. Graystripe cocked his head.

"I've never met an apprentice who wasn't excited to do battle training before. You feeling okay?" he asked thoughtfully, seeming not to notice Maplepaw's blood-drenched pelt.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just not in the mood for battle training…" she replied, trailing off.

Your promise.

"But hey, who am I to refuse? Let's go."

So there you have it. Now you need to have a contest…let me think of one…okay.
