I'm Spottedpaw13, and today I've just written my thirteenth story.

Kudos to Be Careful What You Wish For for being my thirteenth story.

Kudos also to I Still Believe, by StarVix, for being my 75th story favorited.


Firefrost blinked and almost got up. Then, he realized something and stayed in the same position, closing his eyes again.

"Hey!" a voice mewed, making Firefrost open his eyes.

He was still in Highstones. Firefrost should've guessed that StarClan wouldn't give him a second dream. But why would Cinderpelt wake him up? Firefrost ignored that question and stood up.

Bluestar and Fireheart were sitting across from him, on the other side of the Moonstone. So he ws dreaming after all.

"Cheating, eh? Trying to get a second dream out of us?" Bluestar asked in a half-teasing voice.

"No," Firefrost gasped. "It's just that...you didn't get a chance to give me my name. My new name as leader."

"Dear Firefrost," Fireheart sighed. "Surely you remember what I said. You weren't supposed to be born."

"Yes," Firefrost twitched his tail in annoyance. "So?"

"You are not supposed to be the leader of ThunderClan," Bluestar told him.

Firefrost took a step back. "What? What do you mean? I was deputy, I'm the next leader of ThunderClan!"

"That's not always the case." Firefrost spun around and saw Cinderpelt walk up to him. "Firefrost, listen. You're not the rightful leader of ThunderClan, but you are. The cat you took the place of is the rightful leader of ThunderClan."

"Fireheart?" Firefrost guessed.

"You know he was supposed to be leader. You always knew. But he died. Selflessly giving his life because Bluestar didn't. Spottedleaf took him to StarClan, giving him the new name of Firestar, representing what he was always supposed to be," Cinderpelt looked at him seriously in the eyes.

Fireheart- I mean Firestar nodded. "You still are the leader of ThunderClan*. Think of it like this. We're the same cat, in a way, so we have to share the leadership. You get your nine lives, I get the name."

"What about before?" Firefrost demanded. "You sounded like you were going to give me the name of Firestar."

"He wasn't," Bluestar mewed. "Firestar, finish the ceremony, will you? Put everyone's minds at ease?"

"Certainly." Firestar padded over to Firefrost and wrapped his tail around the young leader's shoulders. "I hail you by the same name, Firefrost. A true leader. Though you have your nine lives, you keep your name, for names aren't everything." And then the two dead leaders (or the leader who was and the leader who was supposed to be) disappeared.

"Let's go tell everyone the 'good news'," Cinderpelt told him and padded towards the entrance of the cave leading to where the rest of the Clan was waiting.

"I'm AWAKE?" Firefrost asked.

Cinderpelt grinned. "Never try again to squeeze an extra dream out of StarClan, oh wise leader. It won't work."

"Why you-" Firefrost growled teasingly, and chased her out of Highstones.


Firefrost, your 'second dream' was too long. You were supposed to have confronted Tigerstar by now! Oh well.

I got out of my writer's block yesterday, as I told you. The only reason was because I decided Firefrost would keep his name. After all, a true leader isn't a leader because of a name, but because of leadership, cooperation, and courage.

The behind the scenes reason is because it'd be confusing with another Firestar. So I made up stuff to build on as I went. I didn't originally plan on Fireheart being the true Firestar, but it works. This chapter was actually more serious than funny, since I got all caught up in the moment and everything. A moment in his life Firefrost truly will never forget.

Now go and spread the good word about Firefrost! His tail** isn't over yet!


* I had trouble writing this part. When I found the right words, however, I accidentally put that Firefrost was the leader of StarClan. Luckily I found that before this chapter was published.

** Get it? Tale? Tail? They sound the- oh, nevermind.
