Lionblaze has a Shadow: Part 6. Firestars Party 1
Riiiing.
!
"Someone pick up the effing phone," Jayfeather yelled. No way was he going to get up from the couch. He was all relaxed sitting there with his bowl of cereal and no one was going to ruin it. It was probebly Ravenpaw anyways. He called Hollyleaf at least 6 times a day, which was incredibly annoying. He heard Lionblaze pick up the phone from the next room.
"Jayfeather! Its for you!" Lionblaze shouted. Jayfeather was crunching so loudly on his cereal he didn't hear him.
"Hey! Idiot!" Lionblaze threw the phone at Jayfeather, making him choke on his frosted flakes.
"What?" Jayfeather half coughed into the phone.
"Hey Jayfeather, it's Cloudtail."
Jayfeather was so surprised he didn't even notice when his bowl of cereal tipped over onto the carpet.
"Hi," Jayfeather said.
"What you up to?"
"Um. Nothing."
"Me too. Im probebly going to town in a bit."
I thought only girls called each other without an actual reason, Jayfeather thought, remembering the time Berrynose called him. "Hey Jayfeather, Its me, Berrynose." "Oh. Whats up?" "I dont know. Bored, i guess." "Great. Well bye." Jayfeather couldn't bring himself to repeat that procedure with Cloudtail. Jayfeather desperatly looked around, trying to find something to talk about. After a few seconds of this he finally noticed the cereal.
"Well, i lied about doing nothing. I dropped my frosted flakes on the floor."
Cloudtail laughed. "Silly! why'd you do that?" Jayfeather felt himself smiling for no reason.
"I guess i was surprised you called."
"Aww well im glad i did. I wanted to hear your voice again," Cloudtail said. Jayfeather was relived Cloudtail couldn't see his face, which was devil red with this goofy grin Jayfeather was unable to remove.
"I missed you too," he said.
"Who the hell are you talking to? Is that Cloudtail still on the phone?"
Jayfeathers head snapped around to see Lionblaze standing there with his mouth hanging open.
"Um no. Its Hollyleaf."
"Ya freaking right! What kind of person talks to their sister like that?"
"Lionblaze go away."
"Just tell me who your talking to!"
"Im talking to Hollyleaf! How many freaking times do i need to tell you?" Jayfeather got off the couch and stormed off to his room.
"Cloudtail, i got to go. Um, you can call me later if you ... want." Jayfeather hung up and started frantically dialing his sisters cell number. He could hear Lionblazes steps coming closer. Jayfeather was starting to panic just as Hollyleaf finally picked up her phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey it's Jayfeather. Look i need to you talk to Lionblaze and just go along with it."
"Why?"
"Just do it-" Jayfeathers voice cut off when Lionblaze opened his door.
"Im not going to let this go," Lionblaze grinned. "Give me the phone."
"Your so annoying,"Jayfeather snapped, handing him the phone. Lionblazes face fell as he heard Hollyleafs voice on the other end of the line. He hung up and looked at Jayfeather.
"You were right," Lionblaze said dumbfoundedly.
"Were you expecting someone else?" Jayfeather said sarcastically. Lionblaze rolled his eyes.
"Well,truthfully, i thought you were being all flirty with Cloudtail."
Jayfeather laughed. "We're just friends." Lionblaze looked like he bought it, and Jayfeather was relieved.
"Anyways, me, Berrynose and Ravenpaw are going to the bar tonight. You want to join?" Lionblaze asked. "I was thinking of inviting Cloudtail too but i think he's busy."
"He's not. i was just talking to him and he's not doing anything."
"Okay. I'll give him a call in a minute-" Lionblaze stopped talking at once, two seconds after Jayfeather realized what he had said.
"HA!" So you WERE talking to him!" Lionblaze shouted. Jayfeather thought of an excuse as fast as he could.
"Are you retarded? You picked up the effing phone and it was him. I only talked to him for a second and then i called Hollyleaf," Jayfeather forced himself to remain calm so his face didn't turn red. Lionblaze sighed. "Okay. i guess that makes sense. But anyways, you want to come?"
"Sure. Should i call Hollyleaf back and ask her if she wants to go to?"
"No. Firestar doesn't want any girls to come. Its his birthday, and apparently he wants it to be just with the guys."
"Wait, what? Firestars going to be there?" Jayfeather choked.
"Well, yeah. It's his birthday for gods sake. im not just going to tell him he isnt aloud to come."
"Thats not the point you idiot! Remember what happened at Firestars last time?" Horrid memorys of Jayfeather throwing up off the deck and waking up with mysterious cuts all over his neck and face came into his mind.
"If you havn't forgotten, i still dont know how my socks winded up jammed in the heat vents!" Jayfeather said furiously. Lionblaze looked confused. "Whats so bad about that?" he scoffed.
"They weren't the socks i wore to the party."
"Oh. Shit, thats weird. But come on, Jayfeather. You have to come. Firestar would be offended if you wont!" Jayfeather sighed. "Fine. I'll go. But as long as you promise me nothing weird will happen this time."
LATER ON
Jayfeather couldn't decide whether to wear his dress shirt or long sleeved shirt. He held them up in front of him and sighed. They were both such nice shirts. Jayfeather threw them both in his closet and picked out something else so he wouldnt have to choose. He put it on and looked at himself in the mirror. His eyes drifted to Hollyleafs side of the dresser. (Hollyleaf and Jayfeather shared a room, while Lionblaze got his own) Looking behind himself to make sure Lionblaze wasn't anywhere near him, Jayfeather picked up Hollyleafs eyeliner and held it up to his face. I just want to see whaqt it'd look like, he thought. He spent the next 7 minutes carefully putting it on. The finishing result was that he looked just like Cloudtail. They both had the same long white hair too. Jayfeather looked at his face for a bit longer and then headed to the bathroom to wash it off. He washed his face for a long time, enjoying the warm washcloth against his cold skin. Then he hung it up, and opened his eyes. The makeup remained unsmudged on Jayfeathers face. Jayfeather nearly had a heart attack. He grabbed the washcloth again and began frantically rubbing his eyes. Why isn't this coming off? Jayfeather started to panic. Him and Lionblaze were leaving to the bar in 10 minutes. Even if he had the tiniest bit of the eyeliner on his face, Lionblaze would see it. And there was no way he'd miss this. Jayfeather charged back to his room and picked up the eyeliner pencil. in bold letters right across the side it said WATERPROOF. Lasts 16-18 hours. You've got to be fucking kidding! Jayfeather groaned. Then he heard his door click and he spun around, terrifyed of what Lionblaze would say. But it was just Hollyleaf.
"Im home..." She started to say. Then she saw Jayfeathers face. "Oh my."
"Help me!" Jayfeather wailed. "It won't come off!"
Hollyleaf giggled. "You dumbass. Out of all my makeup, you choose to expiriment with my waterproof ones?"
"Im serious!" Jayfeather cryed. "What do i do? Im leaving for Firestars in 5 flipping minutes!"
Hollyleaf thought about it for a minute. "I have an idea," she said suddenly. An evil grin spread across her face. "I think i know how we can fix this."
