Part 2
Christmas Night
It was the night before Christmas and all through the den, not a cat was stirring, not even Firestar snoring on the couch.
The loud sound echoed through the camp, causing many warriors to have a headache. But eventually every cat got to sleep. Every cat except for Lionkit, Hollykit, and Jaykit.
"I think I see something!" Hollykit hissed.
"Well I can't see anything!" Complained Jaykit.
"Lionkit can't you let go of Grandpaw already?" Asked Hollykit.
"Do I get a prize if I do?" He answered.
"Of course not." Grumbled Jaykit.
"Everyone quiet!" Snapped Hollykit. "Listen."
Lionkit and Jaykit strained their ears. The faint sounds of jingling bells echoed through the camp, becoming louder by the second. "Santa!" Lionkit whispered excitedly.
Out the window a figure came racing into camp. His sleigh was pulled by nine white bunnies with antlers sprouting from their heads. He was wearing a red suit and a long red cap with a small pom-pom on the top that tempted the three kits to whack it.
A long gray beard sprouted from his chin and his face was hidden by the shadow of his hat. As he stepped out of the sleigh, his belly jiggled and looked like a pumpkin that had grown onto his pelt. Obviously Santa does get fat from eating too many cookies.
Santa pulled out a sack from his sleigh and jumped onto the top of their den. His weight made the den shift and creak as he made his was to the chimney. Finally there was a loud noise and he fell into their den. Lionkit and Hollykit feasted their eyes on the sight of their hero while Jaykit pouted in the corner.
"Ho! Ho! Ho!" Bellowed the cat, his voice strong and clear.
Then Lionkit squeaked in surprise as Firestar suddenly jumped off the couch and straight onto Santa. "Intruder!" He hissed and began viciously attacking Santa Claws.
...
On top of the cliffs at camp...
A cat watched the chaos enfold below him. His bright green pelt stood out in the darkness of night. As Santa was beat up inside the den, he sighed.
Great. The Grinch thought to himself. Just great. There goes my plan for attacking Santa and wrecking Christmas. To think a stupid cat had to beat me to it.
...
Back in the camp...
"How could you attack Santa!?" Demanded Hollykit.
"I thought he was a ShadowClan warrior!" Protested Firestar.
They continued to drag the now not-so-jolly-and-scarred-up-Santa to Leafpool's den, still bickering.
Finally the reached the Medicine cat's den and knocked on the door. Leafpool answered immediately. She took one look and the unconscious Santa and in a voice full of horror meowed. "Oh my gosh! Santa's been injured again!"
"Shush!" Hissed Hollykit. "Your going to wake up all of ThunderCan!"
Leafpool was about to reply when her head snapped to the side. "Yellowfang! You came again! Yes I know, I need to calm down and believe in the unicorn. Ok, let's do this again!"
Startled, Hollykit turned to Firestar. "What is she doing?" She hissed.
Both Lionkit and Firestar were staring at Leafpool in pure horror. "The imaginary friend is back!" Lionkit squeaked with wide eyes of terror.
They watched as Leafpool dragged Santa into the shadows of her den. Firestar, Lionkit, and Hollykit bowed their heads. "Please let Santa go in peace." Firestar murmured, then he raised his head. "Ok team, to save Christmas this is what we need to do. Hollykit, go to Sandstorm and tell her to make as many cookies as she can. Assist her in any way possible. Lionkit, you'll stick with me and go back to the den."
"Right!" Lionkit and Hollykit meowed at the same time.
"Jinx!" Exclaimed Hollykit.
...
Back at the den...
Jaykit was eating chips and playing video games on the computer. Glasses were pressed up against his face, allowing him to see just enough to not let Mario die.
Firestar crashed through the door with Lionkit hanging onto his pelt. Jaykit looked up in surprise and suddenly there was a low beep from the computer and Mario fell off a cliff. "Hey what's the big idea!" He demanded.
"I have a plan to save Christmas!" Announced Firestar.
"That's nice." Jaykit muttered, still sulking over the death of Mario.
"Ok, Jaykit you need to go and wake Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight and bring them out here."
"Fine." Jaykit murmured. He took off his glasses, set them on the table, and left the room. He went down the hallway and entered his parent's bedroom. Brambleclaw was snoring softly while Squirrelflight was hogging all the blanket, leaving her husband with just the sheet.
Without any pity, Jaykit went up to the bed and whipped out a megaphone.
"WAKE UP!"
Brambleclaw screamed and fell out of bed. Squirrelftight, completely startled, thrust out a paw and punched Jaykit in the face.
"Ow!" He complained. "What was that for?"
"Naze anta wa watashi wo mezamenakatta!?" Demanded Squirrelflight.
"What did she say?" Asked Jaykit, turning to Brambleclaw. Brambleclaw shrugged having no idea himself.
Jaykit decided just to ignore it and move on. "Firestar wants to see you in the living room."
"Naze kore ga asa made matsu koto ga dekinakatta?!" Sighed Squirrelflight.
Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight stumbled into the living room to meet the grinning face of Firestar. "Ok." He began. "Santa was injured, maybe because of me and anyway I have a brilliant plan to save Christmas. Squirrelflight, could you make three elf costumes and find that Santa costume I wore the other day? And Brambleclaw, I need you to go and polish the sleigh and make sure all the reinbunnies are fed."
"Sore ga okonawa remasu." Replied Squirrelflight.
...
One hour later...
Firestar was stuffing himself with cookies that Sandstorm had made. With each bite his belly grew until it matched the fatness of Santa's. Then he put on his costume and climbed into the sleigh.
"Why do I have to wear this?!" Complained Jaykit. He tugged on the elf costume that Squirrelflight had made.
"Hey, we have to wear them too." Meowed Lionkit. He was still hanging on to Firestar's pelt but somehow they managed to put the outfit on him.
"I think they're cute!" Squeaked Hollykit, admiring her's. "They even have Japanese on the tag! It says: Squirrelflight niyotte okonawa reta!" (Translation: Made by Squirrelflight).
"That's enough all of you!" Growled Firestar. "Let's do this!"
Sandstorm, Brambleclaw, and Squirrelflight watched as Firestar took the reins. "Ok, let's see, what does Santa say? Oh ya!" Firestar sucked in a deep breath and bellowed. "Now Cupcake! Now Penguin! Now Bob and Pickle! On Sunshine! On Lollipop! On Fred and Yoda! And you with the bright red nose in front! Let's go, go, go!"
"Somehow I don't think those are their names." Lionkit muttered.
"Isn't the red nosed one called Rudolph?" Asked Hollykit.
"Of course not!" Meowed Firestar as they took to the sky. "Rudolph is a stupid name for a reinbunny. I mean what does it even have to do with his red nose?"
"True that." Murmured Hollykit.
"So then what's his name?" Asked Lionkit.
Firestar paused for a second. "Light bulb."
"Does that mean you have an idea?" Questioned Lionkit.
"No, his name is Light bulb." Sniffed Firestar.
"Should we be concerned about that tree in front of us that we are going to crash into?" Meowed Hollykit.
All four cats turned to look at the enormous tree in front of them. Everyone screamed (except for Jaykit who couldn't see anything). In one swift movement Firestar jerked the reins to the side and barely missed the tree. This sudden motion made a bag of presents fall over the side of the sleigh.
Hollykit, who was at the back of the sleigh, jumped to save the gifts and ended up holding the bag in her mouth and one of her paws grasping the sleigh.
"Save me!" She squeaked around the fabric of the bag
"Quick!" Firestar yelled. "Jaykit take the reins."
Jaykit, too confused to protest, blindly took the leather straps. Firestar leapt to the back of the sleigh and held out a paw to Hollykit.
"Grab my paw!" He shouted.
As Hollykit reached over, Lionkit leaned in close to Firestar's ear and whispered. "Was it a good idea to give a blind cat the reins?"
"Of course! I don't see why not." Meowed Firestar.
Meanwhile in the front of the sleigh, Jaykit was having the best day of his life. "Faster! Faster!" He shouted with glee.
The reinbunnies responded by running even faster through the sky. Jaykit scented each oncoming tree and narrowly missed them by inches. He kept his nose on the scent of ShadowClan (As Team Firestar had already done ThunderClan and was doing the ShadowClan camp next.)
"Hey Grandpaw!" Shouted Jaykit to the back of the sleigh. "Can I have this sled afterwards? It's totally awesome!"
"Sure." Firestar murmured, too focused on saving Hollykit.
"Yes!" Jaykit exclaimed. Then his attention went back to to the reinbunnies. "Come on! Move faster you slowpokes!"
...
At the ShadowClan camp...
"Easy now! Easy!" Firestar whispered as he was lowered down on a rope through the chimney. Hollykit was on the other end while Lionkit was still clinging on to Firestar's pelt.
"Slower Hollykit!" He shrieked as the rope jerked downwards.
"Sorry." Hollykit apologized.
Jaykit, who was sitting under a tree outside the den, looked up. "This is taking forever!" He moaned. Then an idea popped into his head. He got up and walked over to Hollykit. His eyes narrowed and he thrust out a paw, pushing Hollykit down the chimney.
Wham!
"Sorry it was an accident." Jaykit meowed sweetly.
Firestar groaned and looked up. A small kit stood in front of him, a glass of water in it's paws. "Are you Santa?" It whispered.
"He sure is." Meowed Lionkit, suddenly becoming visible against Firestar's pelt. The kit shrieked and passed out right there on the floor.
Firestar whacked Lionkit on the head. "Ow!" Lionkit protested. "What was that for?!"
"Uh, guys. We kinda have a problem." Hollykit whispered suddenly.
Lionkit and Firestar looked to where she was pointing. Presents where already under the christmas tree. Each one had a label that said: From Santa.
"Santa already did ShadowClan!" Lionkit almost shouted.
"That's not the only problem." Hollykit meowed. "How are we suppose to get out since we can't go up the chimney?"
Every cat looked at each other.
One minute later...
Firestar, Lionkit, and Hollykit were running for their lives. Two vicious dogs were chasing them, getting closer by the second. "This is your fault!" Firestar yelled over the barking of the dogs.
"Well how was I suppose to know that den had guard dogs?!" Hollykit protested, knowing that using to front door hadn't been such a good idea.
They reached the sleigh and climbed in. The reinbunnies, now startled by the hounds, began to run at top speed. The three cats collapsed on the floor, completely exhausted.
Jaykit looked up from his magazine. "Did you have a nice time?" He asked.
Hollykit was just about to punch him in the face when the sleigh jerked to the side. The dogs were now tearing at the wooden frame, trying to get in. "What do they want from us?!" Demanded Firestar.
"Firestar did you eat those cheese doodles on the way here?" Asked Jaykit.
"Maybe." Firestar meowed sheepishly.
"Then the dogs smell the food on you and want some." Answered Jaykit.
"But I ate all of them!" Protested Firestar.
"Don't worry I know what to do." Sighed Jaykit.
"You do?" Asked Firestar.
"Yep." Jaykit meowed, and he pushed Firestar out of the sleigh.
"What did you do that for!?" Demanded Hollykit.
Jaykit shrugged. "He was slowing us down. We still have two clans to go."
"I guess." Muttered Hollykit. Then her head went flying up. "Wait! Isn't Lionkit still hanging onto Firestar's pelt."
Both kits turned their heads to look behind them. "Oops." Murmured Jaykit.
...
Back at camp...
The dogs dragged Firestar and Lionkit back to the ThunderClan camp. "Oh my gosh! Santa's been injured again! There are too many Santas!" Shouted Leafpool
...
Aboard the sleigh, somewhere in RiverClan territory...
"Ok, steady, steady!" Meowed Hollykit.
The sleigh was slowly flying over the RiverClan camp. Jaykit and Hollykit decided to just drop the presents down the chimney because it took too much time and was way to dangerous to enter the houses. Plus Hollykit no longer trusted Jaykit to help her down the chimney.
Hollykit let go of the gift and it fell into the den. Beside her Jaykit moaned. "This is taking too long!"
He pulled out a bazooka and fired presents into every chimney. "Next camp!" He called to Hollykit who was staring at him in pure awe.
"How did you do that?!" She gasped. "You're blind!"
"Never underestimate the power of the force." Jaykit told her.
...
At the WindClan camp...
"MERRY CHRISTMAS!" Shouted Hollykit from inside the sleigh.
Jaykit turned to glare at her. "Do you want to wake the whole neighbourhood?!" He demanded.
"I like pickles." Hollykit replied.
Jaykit sighed. He licked one of his claws and held it up. "The wind is blowing Northwest with a -12 degree windchill. It's travelling at about 124 miles an hour, perfect for what I'm going to do." He murmured.
Hollykit stared at him yet again. "You scare me sometimes." She whispered.
But Jaykit was already zoning out. He pulled the last bag of presents onto the side of the sleigh. "Three. Two. One." He meowed softly, too softly for Hollykit to hear. Jaykit untied the string holding the bag shut and let the gifts fall to the earth.
"Jaykit! Why did you do that!?" Screeched Hollykit in horror.
"Wait for it." He murmured.
Suddenly the wind caught the presents and blew then directly into the WindClan camp.
"Science my dear girl. Science." Jaykit told the open mouthed Hollykit.
"I take that back." Hollykit whispered. "You're not kinda scary, you're just plain freaky."
Thanks for reading warrior holidays! I've also posted chapter three which will have part three: Christmas day.
Quick translation for what Squirrelflight said;
When Jaykit woke her up: "Naze anta wa watashi wo mezamenkatta!" Demanded Squirrelflight. Translation: "Why did you wake me up!" Demanded Squirrelflight.
Afterwards when she goes to the living room: "Naze kore ga asa made matsu koto ga dekinakatta." Sighed Squirrelflight. Translation: "Why couldn't this wait until morning?!" Sighed Squirrelflight.
After she got Firestar's orders. "Sore ga okonawa remasu." Replied Squirrelflight. Translation: "It will be done." Replied Squirrelflight.
Thanks for reading this episode of warrior holidays! Don't forget to review!
