Haley, Shannon, Elle and Zarya were four regular girls all attending Hearest High. One day, while expiramenting in their chemistry lab, unsupervised, they made a discovery.
After mixing some strange green liquids with some pocket lint containing Haley's cat's fur, they found themselves zooming through some sort of vortex to another world, one oddly familiar...
Haley, the leader of the group, had seen this place before, but where? It was a beautiful forest filled with many different smells and aromas. She pondered on this, not knowing, when she heared a squeal of fear coming from Zarya, she had been observing her looks in a nearby puddle, and her fur just wasn't the same. Wait, fur? Looking down, Haley observed her new self. She was down on all fours, and were her hands should've been, were paws! And she had calico fur covering her whole body, with a tail and a cute set of whiskers. Wait, she thought, am I a cat?! Coming to sit beside the rest of the group, she noticed they too had been transformed into her favourite animal, cats. Zarya, with her hair usually to her shoulders and wavy, was now a golden brown colour and she had large blue-green eyes. Sitting next to her was a white cat with small light cream coloured patches and spots with longish-fur and light gray-blue eyes, Haley guessed that this was the cat version of Elle. Shannon was the most difficult to recognize. She usually had dark brown hair coming to her hips, but now she was a white-ish cream colour with lilac ears, tail, feet and face and white socks and large blue eyes. Looking into the puddle herself, she saw that along with her calico fur, she had short length fur and her tail fur was a little longer, and green eyes. That's odd, she thought, I usually have blue eyes. Her thoughts were put aside when her friends had started yowling again.
"What happened to us?!" Yowled Shannon.
"Why are we cats?" Added Zarya.
"Who cares?" Meowed Elle, "aren't we adorable? I mean, look at me!"
"Elle, I love your enthusiasm, but that's not the most important hing right now. We have to figure out where we are and how to get out of it. All we know is that the potion we made must've zapped us here." Stated Haley. "Look, here are some more cats coming this way, maybe we can ask them." And cats were coming indeed, a whole group of them in fact. The one in the lead was a tom, she noticed. He was dark brown with a huge nick in his left ear, and smaller ones flanking his pelt. Haley saw that most of the cats approaching them had scars, except for maybe the smaller cat with them. These cats looked dangerous, and Haley was about to move on and find others to help instead when the leader called out to them.
"Hey! You, stop right there! You're on ThunderClan land, kittypets, so explain yourselves!" He meowed.
"Uhh, ThunderClan? What's that?" Haley asked, feeling stupid. She heard some of he cats snort behind the thunder-whatzit cat, and looked behind her to see her friends trembling in fear, and noticed for the first time that she was too. She backed up with her friends until they where all packed together, with Haley still in front.
"ThunderClan is something you don't want to reckon with. Now, tell us why you are here and scaring off our prey!" The lead cat snarled.
"I'm sorry, we di- did- didn't mean to..." Meowed Elle, with her voice trembling so much, Haley wondered how she spoke at all.
"Can you help us?" Meowed Haley "we're lost and don't know the way back and-"
"Stay away from us, kittypets!" He interrupted, "we don't want to hear your sob story!"
The cats behind him started whispering, then one came up and whispered to the lead cat aswell. "Hmmmm" he meowed. "Maybe..." He trailed off, obviously deep in thought.
Haley looked behind her and saw her friends bewildered glances towards each other.
"Uhhhhhh, we'll just be going then, we're sorry that we were on your land and scarred off your prey" meowed Haley after a long pause.
"Not so fast, as Thornclaw just suggested, we are bringing you to our camp to meet our leader." The strange tom meowed.
