Valentine's Day
"We're apprentices! We're apprentices!" Shouted Hollypaw.
"OH YA!" Exclaimed Lionpaw.
"And I get to be a medicine cat apprentice!" Squealed Hollypaw.
Jaypaw sighed. "I dreamed that I tried to become a warrior despite being blind, and Hollypaw was a medicine cat apprentice. But then I got fed up with my mentor, and Hollypaw couldn't remember the herbs. Then we switched and lived happier lives."
Hollypaw blinked. "You know what, I think I'll be a warrior apprentice."
Jaypaw nodded. "Thank you, now I'll be the apprentice of our real mother."
Lionkit stared, open mouthed. "What do you mean our real mother? Squirrelflight's our mother, and Leafpool is just the medicine cat! She can't have a mate!"
"It was in another dream I had a little while ago." Explained Jaypaw. "I dreamed the camp was on fire, and we were stuck in the flames on one side of a big stick, and Ashfur was on the other side, blocking our way out, saying he wanted to punish Squirrelflight for dumping him. But the she explained that we weren't her kits, and he let us go. And then later we found out Leafpool was our real mother, and we were half WindClan. Then Hollypaw went insane, told every cat in a gathering, and died in a hole, after trying to get Leafpool to eat death berries."
"You know what?" Asked Hollypaw. "I'm not going to talk to you anymore." And she stalked away.
"You're scary." Stated Lionpaw, and he walked away as well.
"Maybe I should have told them about my dream that there was a prophecy, and Lionpaw couldn't get hurt, and I could walk in dreams, and Hollypaw had no powers, and that she actually lived, then died about a moon later. And that a cat named Dovewing was also part of the prophecy, and then the dark forest invaded. Also that Firestar looses lives way too often." He wondered. Then shrugged. "But that will probably never come true." And went to go tell Firestar that they wanted to switch mentors.
"Why?" Demanded Firestar as Jaypaw and Hollypaw entered his den.
Jaypaw quickly explained his dream to their leader. Firestar blinked. "I guess it's okay."
They turned to leave, but then Jaypaw hesitated. "Firestar..." He began.
"What is it?" Asked Firestar.
"That painting's crooked." He commented.
Firestar glanced behind him, where a painting was hanged. "I knew it! Sandstorm said it was fine, but she was wrong!" He exclaimed.
"And those draps don't match your rug, and that couch is way to pink..." Jaypaw went on.
Lionpaw left, not wanting to be part of this.
...
Back at Squirrelflight's and Brambleclaw's den...
...
Hollypaw stared at the valentine's card she had gotten in the mail. Was it for her? She flipped it over and read the back. To; Hollypaw.
It could be. She thought. But she was still unsure. She took it into her room, put it on her desk, and began staring at it, wondering if she should open it.
Suddenly Lionpaw burst into the room. "YO DUDE!" He exclaimed.
Hollypaw screeched, her tail sweeping in a wide ark, pushing the letter off the desk before hitting her brother in the face.
"Ow!" He complained. Then he saw the letter. "OMG! Some cat gave Hollypaw a valentine's day letter!"
"You might as well tell the whole clan about it." She meowed statistically.
"Your right! I should!" He shouted, and ran out the door.
"NO! Wait!" Screeched Hollypaw, but it was too late.
...
Five minutes later...
...
Jaypaw (wearing glasses) picked up a newspaper titled; The daily mew. He began reading the first page news, surprised by what it said;
Valentine's Day Mystery
A little while ago, it was discovered that some cat gave Hollypaw a love letter. The mysterious cat is still unknown, but will soon be identified.
"Who'd want to date my sister?" Asked Lionpaw, the source of this story.
Jaypaw tossed the paper away, not really interested.
...
Lionpaw walked over to where Hollypaw was hanging a poster. "Watcha doing sis?" He asked.
"There!" She exclaimed, ignoring him completely.
Lionpaw cocked his head at the poster, and read it out loud. "Wanted; cat hoo gav Hollypa wuv leter." He turned to her. "Your spelling is terrible."
"It's not my fault we never went to school." She sniffed. "Now I must go eat a mento."
"Ooh!" Shouted Lionpaw. "I've got some soda we can put the mento in!"
"And then we can throw it in the warrior's den!" Finished Hollypaw.
"Awesome!" They high-fived each other.
...
Ten minutes later...
...
"Run away!" Screamed Lionpaw.
"The gray blob is chasing us!" Screeched Hollypaw.
"What did you call me!?" Roared Graystripe, who was soaked to he bone in pop.
"Help us!" Pleaded Lionpaw, and the two apprentices hid behind Blackstar.
Graystripe crashed into the white tom full speed. "What is going on?" Cried Blackstar, squashed under a mound of gray fur.
"Sorry." Grumbled Graystripe, who was lying on the ShadowClan leader.
"Get off me, ya fat gray blob!" Blackstar heaved upwards.
"I'm not fat!" Pouted Graystripe. "It's all this fur. It makes me look poofy."
"Whatever." Blackstar growled, rubbing his shoulders.
"Hey, what is the ShadowClan leader doing in our camp?" Asked Hollypaw suddenly. "And why did no cat notice?"
"Whitewing!" Snapped Graystripe. "You're on guard duty!"
Whitewing payed him no attention as she tapped away on her ipod.
"So why did you come?" Asked Hollypaw.
"I made some cookies!" Blackstar mewed excitedly. "Did you want to try some?"
"Sure, what's in 'em?" Questioned Lionpaw.
"Fungus, mushrooms, a stick, rocks, a long dead mouse, at least I think it's a mouse. Some coconut, a rainbow, and sugar for flavour." Rattled Blackstar.
"Sounds good." Agreed Lionpaw, and he ate all the cookies in one bite. "I'm a ghost now!" He declared, and drifted off into the sky.
"Okay!" Shouted Blackstar. "Lower the ladder!" A helicopter appeared from the sky, and dropped an extremely long ladder down. "See ya, suckers!" Hissed Blackstar as he was carried away.
With a shrug, Hollypaw went back to her poster. "Awe, nobody said they gave me a letter." She sniffed.
"Hear." Stated Jaypaw, and he stuck a note to the poster, reading. Free cookies for this person. "Now just wait." He instructed.
...
One minute later...
...
Over half the clan took credit, but when Hollypaw asked them to describe the letter, every cat failed. "This is hopeless." Murmured Hollypaw sadly.
"Hey!" Called Jaypaw. "Have you seen this letter?" He showed Mousepaw the picture.
"Yep." He replied. "I gave a special person that letter."
"Really?" Asked Hollypaw, showing Jaypaw out of the way. "I've been looking everywhere for you!"
"Why?" He wondered.
"Cause you gave me this!" She held up the letter.
"Oh no!" He groaned. "I put it in the wrong mailbox!"
"What do you mean?" Asked Hollypaw with disappointment. "It does have my name on it."
"It's for Hanaholmoldayapityaw." Explained Mousepaw. "But I call her Hollypaw for short. She's a gecko."
"Yet you gave the letter to a cat. I hope you noticed I'm not a gecko." Grumbled Hollypaw.
"'em mailboxes confuse me." Mousepaw smiled. "Sorry for the mixup.
...
Newest Heartbreak
Pour Hollypaw discovered the letter was not for her, but for a gecko named Hanaholmoldayapityaw, sent by Mousepaw. Hollypaw is devastated and is gorging herself on chocolates to hid her sorrow, and is now almost as fat as Graystripe.
"I'm not fat." Grumbled Graystripe, reading the paper.
Jaypaw rolled his eyes and set down the newspaper. "I'm going to eat a marshmallow." And he walked away.
This is the end of another episode! The next will be posted on St. Patrick's day.
