Brackenfur, Berrynose, and Cinderheart were patrolling the WindClan border when they found six cats in a clearing, all unconscious. After exchanging confused glances, they went up to the biggest cat, a black tom. They nudged him until he began to wake up.

"House… leave me alone! Let me sleep! Uhhh…" groaned the tom. He opened his eyes. "What! Who are you? Where am I? What am I? I'm talking to cats!"

"You're in ThunderClan territory. What are you doing here? Who are you?" asked Brackenfur.

"Call me Foreman. I don't know how I got here. Last thing I remember, I was falling asleep at home, then I was here." replied the black tom.

"What about your friends? Are you the leader?" prompted Brackenfur.

"No, Cuddy is. Then there's House. He bosses everyone around anyway, even Cuddy." answered Foreman.

"Which cat is Cuddy?" asked Berrynose.

"I…I don't know." Foreman meowed nervously. The three Clan cats looked at him strangely, then woke up the other five cats.

"What are your names?" asked Brackenfur. A dark brown tabby she-cat with blue eyes responded first. She looked nervous, and confused about talking to cats.

"I'm Cuddy. Who are you?"

"I'm Brackenfur. This is Cinderheart and Berrynose. Are you in charge?" asked Brackenfur.

"Yes." answered Cuddy.

"I'm House. They all listen to me!" hissed a skinny gray tom with piercing blue eyes.

"House! You are not in charge!" hissed Cuddy in response.

"I'm Wilson. Cuddy's in charge" meowed a brown tabby tom. House looked at him, irritated.

"House is my boss. He's scarier. I'm Chase." meowed a golden tom.

"And I'm Cameron. Technically Cuddy's in charge. House likes to challenge her about everything though." mewed the last cat, a pretty light brown she-cat with amber eyes.

House stood up, then hissed in pain.

"Ouch! Do you have any Vicodin?" asked House.

"Are you hurt?" asked Cinderheart, "You should see our medicine cat." She looked at Brackenfur pleadingly.

"We can't bring them back to camp! They're kittypets, the stench is all over their fur. We should chase them out of here!" hissed Berrynose.

"Cinderheart, run ahead and let Firestar know we're coming. You're coming back with us. House can see our medicine cat, and the rest of you should be able to spend time with us for now." decided Brackenfur.

"But they're kittypets!" exclaimed Berrynose.

"What are kittypets?" asked Cameron.

"You live with twolegs, not out in the wild." replied Brackenfur.

"Twolegs?" asked Cameron.

"You know, twolegs. Walk on two legs, usually pink skin, hair only on their heads." answered Berrynose impatiently, "Why are we bothering with them? They're so strange! Especially their names."

"What's wrong with our names? To us, your names are weird." grumbled House. He grunted in pain. Cuddy sprinted to his side to support him. Wilson pressed against his other side, and together Cuddy and Wilson acted as crutches for House. Together, they made their way back to the ThunderClan camp.
