Epice Swag Cat YOLO, asked my to write a chapter for his/her birthday. And this is what I came up with. Because I won't be able to take any more B-day requests, this chapter will represent all birthdays.
Happy Birthday
"Firestar, you're kinda starting to creep me out." Lionpaw took a step back.
"Ugh! Why does no cat know what day it is?!" Demanded Firestar.
"It's May 1st..." Lionpaw whispered.
"It's my cousin Bob's birthday!" Firestar exclaimed. "He's coming to visit, and we need to get ready!"
"Ready how?" Asked Jaypaw, who was sitting in a chair in the middle of camp, reading a newspaper using his new glasses.
Firestar let out a dramatic sigh. "Decorations of course! Brambleclaw, you're in charge of balloons. Get as many warriors to help as you need. Hollypaw, you'll be in charge of the feast. Get any spare warriors to go out hunting. Lionpaw, you'll be on the main decorations. That's ribbons, tables, chairs, and of course, the 'happy birthday' sign. Jaypaw, you can be in charge of flower arrangements, since your knowledge of herbs is the best. Make sure they smell nice as well."
"Can't you just get Leafpool to do it?" Grumbled Jaypaw. "She has way more experience than me."
Every cat glanced over at the medicine cat, who was currently polishing one of her needles. "No." Firestar decided immediately.
"You're right." Jaypaw warily eyed his mentor.
"And last of all," The leader continued. "Squirrelflight, I need you to go to every clan, and I mean every clan, and hand out invitations. Also, Brackenfur, you shall accompany me when I go to pick up my cousin. We leave now!"
Sandstorm then exited her den, lugging an enormous bag of invites. "Make sure you hand out every single one!" She meowed cheerfully to Squirrelflight.
Her daughter nodded, and zipped out of camp, dragging the heavy load behind her.
"Cinderpaw, Honeypaw, and Mousepaw," Jaypaw called. "You're with me on flower duty!"
"Yes sir!" Honeypaw trotted off, oblivious to anything around her.
Mousepaw was a little more hesitant. "Why is Firestar always putting you three in charge?"
Jaypaw shrugged away the question. "Something about a prophecy and us saving the clan. Nothing you need to worry about. Now let's move!"
"I don't have time!" Complained Lionpaw as Jaypaw and the others left camp. "I'm going to see Heartherpaw."
"Who?" Every cat demanded, staring.
"Umm... I mean I'm going to see a feather and straw!" He improvised badly. But every cat was satisfied and went back to whatever they were doing. "Ashfur, Cloudtail, Brightheart, Whitewing, Whitewind, and Spiderman, come help."
"It's Spiderleg!" Protested Spiderleg.
"Whatever. Now go get some ribbon." Directed Lionpaw.
Meanwhile Brambleclaw was handing out balloons to Dustpelt, Poppypaw, Longtail, Hazelpaw, Daisy, and Thornclaw.
Berrypaw, Millie, Graystripe, Birchfall, Stormfur, and Brook left on hunting duty.
"Okay, people! Time to get cooking!" Hollypaw had with her Mousefur, Sandstorm, Sorreltail and Ferncloud to help cook. "We'll start with preparations until the hunting party gets back." And together they all went into the kitchen.
...
Everyone in DarkNinjasOfEvilClan (ShadowClan) stared blankly as Squirrelflight spoke in rapid fire Japanese, every now and then doing gestures with her paws so she looked like a drowning fish.
Blackstar cocked his head. "What?"
...
"What about this one?" Asked Honeypaw.
"That's poison." Replied Jaypaw without turning around.
She sighed and went on searching for flowers.
Mousepaw burst into the clearing, holding up bright red berries. "What about these?"
"Those are Deathberries. They'll kill you." Answered Jaypaw after a brief glance.
"Okay." Mousefur tossed them away, then wiped his hands on a kit. "I shall continue my search for berries that won't kill me." He disappeared.
"These are poisonous, aren't they?" Asked Cinderpaw, holding up a few leaves.
"Yep." Answered Jaypaw. So far the flower gathering wasn't going so well.
...
"Darn it!" Snarled Hollypaw as she pulled out a burnt plate of food.
"Why don't you go with the hunting patrol?" Offered Sandstorm. "I got things here."
"Fine." Hollypaw marched out the door, instantly tripping on a loose ribbon.
She glanced up, muttering to herself.
"I said the table is going there!" Shouted Spiderleg.
"What?" Whitewing didn't look up from her game. "Then go right ahead."
"You're sitting there!" He complained.
"That's nice."
"Move!"
"I sure hope so."
"ARE YOU LISTENING?"
"Thanks."
Spiderleg sighed, defeated. Hollypaw marched past him and shoved the table over, right over top of Whitewing. "Perfect!" She declared with a smile. "And no one will ever know she was there!"
"Uh hu." Spiderleg shrugged and went off to do something else. Whitewing continued playing her game.
Around the camp, Whitewind was tying up kits and elders with ribbon while they slept. And then spread even more loose ribbon around until it coated the entire camp, about a foot deep. The cliffs had been entirely coated in bright streamers, until the camp looked like the inside of a rainbow. Graystripe tried to lick it, and was buried under a pile of ribbon that came loose.
...
Everyone that had helped Brambleclaw with balloons was now passed out from filling so many.
The deputy sat down, only to fall backwards as something brushed against his leg. He screamed, as Whitewing shouted. "I beat my high score!" From under the table.
...
Squirrelflight had gone to every clan around the lake, then the stables, Midnight's den, StarClan, and even the Tribe of Rushing Water.
She glanced up from her bag of invites, looking warily at Scourge. "Umm... hi?"
...
About three-ish hours later...
...
Everyone was now arriving, and Jaypaw's team had finally succeed at finding none-poison flowers. It's always going to be a good party when nobody dies from the decor!
A huge feast had been spread across the many tables, and ribbons still flooded the camp.
Princess was hugging Sandstorm and talking about romance. Scourge was lurking around DarkNinjasOfEvilClan, claiming he was making sure Tigerstar didn't come. Bluestar and Yellowfang were being repeatedly called "old timers" from cats passing by. Smudge was having a food eating contest against Graystripe. RainbowClan (RiverClan) were swimming around in the streamers. Whitewind kept tying up sleeping cats, and Hollypaw was showing off her trees to the Tribe of Rushing Water, while Stormfur and Brook hid in the shadows. But Firestar and Brackenfur were still gone.
Suddenly the entrance to camp shuddered, and Brackenfur walked in. The tom climbed onto Highledge to address the claners and none claners. "Hello!" He called, receiving no response from the chattering crowd. "Quiet please!" He tried again.
Jaypaw jumped up beside him. "Let me handle this." He pulled out a fog horn and released the deafening sound. The crowd fell silent.
Brackenfur gave a slight nod of thanks and stepped forward. "I would like to announce the arrival of the great Firestar himself!"
Every cat turned as the leader came through the entrance dramaticly, before climbing up beside the warrior.
"Thank you, Brackenfur!" Firestar turned to the crowd. "It is my great honour to introduce to you, the cat that made this all happen, my cousin Bob!"
The brambles at the entrance parted dramatically, and out stepped a bright orange tom wearing shades. "Ello, peeps!" He called out. "How's every thin' goin?" Every cat stared. "Wha?" He asked. "Is it too orange for y'all?"
"Well, at least he's orange and doesn't look totally different." Lionpaw pointed out. Every cat glanced at Cloudtail, then Firestar, and back at Bob, before nodding in agreement.
"Stormfur and Brook Where Little Fishies Swim!" Talon bellowed. "I'm here to ask you come with us on an epic journey to save our tribe, and become heroes! But don't let Stoneteller know I asked you!"
The Tribe of Rushing Water all blinked. But Stoneteller was asleep in the punch bowl.
Lionpaw glanced at Hollypaw and Jaypaw. "We are totally going on this epic quest."
Hope you all liked this chapter!
More on Bob in future ones as well!
The next one will be posted on Mothers Day!
