First and foremost I need to apologize for being late with yet another chapter. I kept remembering and forgetting to do it, and I ended up posting it late. To a previous comment, the canadian Halloween is, to my understanding, on the same day as everyone else's. I was just too lazy to write the chapter and post it on time.
Halloween
"The sun will disappear!" Sol insisted.
"No it won't." Jaypaw denied.
"I don't know, maybe it will." Leafpool mumured.
"Leafpool, you are so gullible." the apprentice sighed.
"THE SUN WILL VANISH! I KNOW IT WILL! I CAN SEE THE FUTURE!" Sol pulled a crystal ball, and shoved it in Jaypaw's face. "SEE?"
"Nope." Jaypaw slammed the door in Sol's face, and locked it.
"Maybe he's right." Leafpool wondered.
"Yeah, and I want a needle." Jaypaw grumbled.
She grinned. "Really? Finally some cat wants one!" She pulled out a massive needle, so it glistened in the sunlight.
"That was sarcasm." Jaypaw was completely unimpressed.
Then, someone started pounding on the door.
"Go away Sol! Nobody likes you!" Jaypaw called, slightly annoyed now.
"Who? No. It's Leopardstar and Onestar!" called the RiverClan leader from outside. "We've come to fight you're clan and drive you away and steal your hunting grounds!"
"Why?" Jaypaw was getting tired of this weirdness.
"We don't need to explain our complicated reasons to a child!" Onestar yelled back.
"Teenager." Jaypaw corrected.
"Whatever. We want to talk to Fireboy!" He continued to yell.
"Oi! Grandpaw! Your friend who hates you wants to talk to you!" Jaypaw shouted in the direction of the leader's den.
"Don't call me grandpaw! It makes me sound old!" Firestar stormed over, still in his doggy pyjamas. As it was like, ten in the morning. Way too early to be awake.
"So what'd you need, buddy?" He called, opening the door.
"We're going to invade you!" Onestar announced (he was also still in his pyjamas. Which were Hello Kitty by the way.).
"Why, Hello Onestar." Firestar teased.
"Shut up, Dog Lover!" Onestar hissed back.
Everyone gasped. "Firestar loves dogs!" Some random warrior shouted, then everyone began randomly running around in panic, while Whitewind pickpocketed everyone. "Firestar doesn't like waffles!" Another cat, probably the same one, brought up the old hate. More gasps were earned, and RiverClan and WindClan just stood by and watched.
Jaypaw couldn't help but notice a lot of the enemies were in their pyjamas, most of them WindClan. "Seriously though. Why are you wearing pyjamas while threatening us?"
"Leopardstar was mean!" Onestar pouted. "She just came storming in, demanding that we fight beside her! It's no fair! It's the weekend! Ten is way too early to wake up! Then she threatened to invade our camp with alarm clocks if we didn't help her, so here we are!"
"Uh-huh." Jaypaw turned to Leopardstar. "So why do you want to invade us?"
"He stole my gummy worms!" She pointed a claw at Firestar.
He smiled. "Yep. I ates them."
Leopardstar's eyes grew wide, and tears began to fill them. Then she collapsed on the ground sobbing. "F-Firestar! Y-you're so m-mean. Y-you ate B-Bob, and Sasha, and Jefferey and..."
"Umm... Leopardstar, are we gonna invade, or did you just ruin our morning for fun." Onestar poked her.
"She needs medical attention!" Mothwing pushed her way forward, put the leader on a stretcher, and dragged her away. "Willowpaw, come with me!"
"Coming! In a sec!" The medicine cat apprentice dragged herself forward, Lionpaw clinging to her leg, begging her to heal his wounded heart.
"You can still invade if you want." Firestar offered. "It's not like we're doing anything anyway."
"Really? Thanks!" Onestar glowed. "Does Blackstar want to join us too?"
"One sec. I'll phone him." Firestar pulled out his puppy pattern cell phone, then frowned. "Dang. Out of batteries. Can I use yours, Graystripe?"
"Fine." The pudgy tom handed over his iphone which had a waffle phone case.
After a few rings, the ShadowClan leader picked up. "I thought I told you to leave me alone, Graystripe! I'm NOT going to give you anymore waffles, EVER!"
"Umm... this is Firestar." The leader whispered, watching Graystripe pout in the corner.
"Oh! Hey there buddy! How's being a leader? Fought any good battles lately?" Blackstar's voice echoed from the phone.
"Actually, I was phoning to invite you to one. RiverClan and WindClan were going to invade us, and I figured you'd want to join the fun." Firestar offered.
"Ooh! I'd love to! I've been soooo bored! So which side are we one?"
"You'll join ThunderClan. Then we'll be even." Firestar decided.
"Great! We'll be right over!" Blackstar hung up.
"Just a thought," Hollypaw walked up to them. "but didn't we become DarkNinjasOfEvilClan and RainbowClan and stuff?"
"Oh yeah. That never stuck, so we just kinda forgot about it (meaning me, the author, completely forgot about it until now)." Firestar explained swiftly. "Now, Hello Onestar, you have fifty seconds to hide, and then we'll come find you."
"Aw! Come one. Give us a minute!" He protested.
"Okay, fine." Firestar agreed. "Spiderman, you keep track and tell us when time is up."
"I am seriously getting tired of that nickname." Grumbled Spiderleg.
...
In the tunnels...
...
"So then I told them the sun would disappear, and they kicked me out!" Sol finished, moving his pawn on the chessboard forward.
"So how did you come to know the sun would vanish?" Fallen Leaves asked, taking out the pawn with his queen.
"Midnight told me over tea." Sol explained, thinking hard before moving his knight so it blocked the path of Fallen Leave's tower.
Fallen Leaves snickered. "So the night told you what would happen in the day?"
Sol frowned, as his opponent plowed right through his defence. "I'm talking about a badger named Midnight. Not nighttime."
Fallen Leaves let out a muffled snort, and it sounded like cow was being strangled. "What'd you do? Have coffee with a fox next?"
Sol shoved his queen forward, in a last desperate attempt, only to have it taken down. "No. I got her to spill all her secrets then StarClan got mad at her, but luckily I don't believe in StarClan, so I got away clean."
"I believe in winning." Fallen Leaves replied, knocking over Sol's king. "What do you want to play next?"
...
Somewhere in ThunderClan territory...
...
"This is so not fun." Lionpaw mumbled, crawling through the undergrowth, dressed in camouflage. "This is no way to spend Halloween."
"Maybe not. But at least we're together." Cinderpaw murmured, aware that the two of them were alone.
"In the movies, if there's a couple, one usually dies." Lionpaw forged ahead, leaving behind Cinderpaw, who was now shocked, speechless, scared, and completely freaked out.
...
"Make the blind cat be the messenger." Jaypaw grumbled to himself, stumbling over roots and sticks. "The blind cat loves walking around and tripping over things. The blind cat will bring the messages on time. Don't worry! He won't be late and end up making the journey for nothing."
"ROAR!" A gang of WindClan warriors jumped out of a nearby bush, claws unsheathed. Then they paused when they saw Jaypaw. "Oh. It's the blind cat. Dang, I thought we'd finally found someone to fight right then. This is such a disappointment." Then they ran off.
"And people wonder why the blind cat is so grumpy." Jaypaw muttered.
...
Back in the tunnels...
...
"So then I was like, Leafstar, why are you being such a jerk? I just kidnapped your kids. It's not like you need to banish me. Got any eights?" Sol rambled.
"Nope. Go fish." Fallen Leaves answered, shifting through the cards in his hands. "Hey Gramps, got any kings?"
"Go fish. So what happened next?" Rock asked.
"Well, I wanted to slap her, but with the entire clan glaring at me, I decided not to die. In the end I was totally banished and forbidden to return and all that. So I did what any ordinary cat would do. I swore revenge." Sol explained.
"But she named her kit after you." Rock pointed out. "Any sixes?"
"Yep." He handed over a card. "No. She named him after my kitttypet name. Got any aces?"
"Nope. Go fish. She named him Harry, right? I can totally see that kit getting teased in school. Poor kid." Fallen Leaves shoved a fistful of chips in his mouth. "Sevens?"
"Come on! It's not that bad of a name!" Sol protested.
"Unfortunately yes. To the sevens." Rock handed over two cards. "Sol, got some threes?"
"Yep. But I'm telling you. I didn't get teased that badly." Sol grumbled, pulling out three cards.
"Whatever you say." Fallen Leaves rolled his eyes.
...
Above ground...
...
"Oi!" Called Jaypaw. "There's an enemy patrol coming!"
"They're already here!" Snapped Hollypaw, battling a tom. "You're warnings suck!"
"Then don't make the blind cat do it!" Jaypaw snapped.
"The blind cat should stop pitying itself!" Hollypaw hissed back, dodging a swipe to her ear. "And where is reinforcements?"
"SHADOWCLAN, CHARGE!" The below rang through the clearing, startling everyone.
A ShadowClan patrol jumped out of the bushes, wielding, you guessed it, water guns. They began mercilessly spraying all the enemies, laughing madly.
The WindClan enemies screamed and scattered, vanishing into the undergrowth. The RiverClan foes just stood there, unimpressed. Then one ShadowClan warrior stepped forward and shouted, "SHARK!" That pulled the trigger.
RiverClan warriors ran away, screaming things like, "It's going to eat us all!" and "First water sharks, now land sharks?"
The clearing quickly became void of battle, and the ShadowClan friends congratulated themselves.
"Reinforcements are here." Jaypaw noted.
Hollypaw slapped him. "Come on, we have other fights to join."
Everyone turned and wandered off back into the woods, Jaypaw slowly following, muttering to himself. "Sure, abuse the blind cat. The blind cat doesn't have feelings. The blind cat loves what he does. The blind cat is ever so helpful."
...
3.2 seconds later...
...
"Oh. So the sun really did disappear." Jaypaw noted, listening to everyone gasp.
"Uh... yeah..." Hollypaw stared at the dark, sunless sky. "possibly..."
"It'll be fine." Jaypaw decided, and walked away.
"All hail the mighty Sol?" Some cat asked.
"Maybe this is because we keep fighting random fights." Someone suggested. "Maybe if we're all friends, StarClan will return the sun."
"Maybe..." Hollypaw murmured.
...
3 minutes later...
...
"Oh, it's back." Jaypaw noted, licking a lollypop. He basically had just left only to return to make more useless statements.
"Yep." Hollypaw watched the sun completely return, glowing as if nothing had ever happened. "So do we continue fighting or..."
"I think we should continue fighting." Some cat suggested. "I mean, the sun's back, right?"
"But didn't it disappear because we were fighting?" Jaypaw asked.
"Let's go fight some more." Hollypaw decided, and she lead the patrol deeper into the territory.
"Nobody cares what the blind cat thinks." Jaypaw grumbled, following. "The blind cat's just here. Nobody needs to pay attention to the blind cat."
...
Down in the tunnels...
...
"See? I told you!" Sol gloated, shuffling his cards.
"Impressive." Rock mumbled, placing down a card of his own. "Skip a turn."
"Dang it!" Lionpaw huffed.
"Sweet." Fallen Leaves murmured, putting down a card. "Sol, draw four. Change colour to red."
"Just you wait!" Sol warned them, grabbing a wad of cards from the deck. "Just give it a while. Everyone will be worshipping me! Just you wait!"
"I don't doubt that." Rock huffed, grabbing a card from the deck only to be disappointed. "Can't go."
"But there's a risk of you being banished and such." Lionpaw placed down a card. "You're turn, Fallen Leaves."
"I've already been banished!" Sol hissed. "It's why I seek revenge."
"Uh-huh. Uno." Fallen Leaves murmured, holding up two cards.
"Dang it!" Sol slammed down his cards. "Just wait till I'm ruler of the world!"
"By the way, shouldn't you be upstairs with your clan?" Rock asked Lionpaw.
"Maybe." He mumbled. "But I got kinda bored when I couldn't find anyone to fight, so I came down here instead. I doubt I'm missing anything important."
...
In the camp...
...
"So with the battle officially over. And the sun returned to it's normal glory and such, I would like to announce two apprentices hereby becoming warriors. Because I'm just that bored." Firestar announced. "Can Hollypaw and Lionpaw step forward."
Hollypaw went in front of highrock, but there was no sign of her brother. "Lionpaw's missing." Jaypaw reported a little delayed.
"Great. Can you go find him?" Firestar asked.
"Fine. Make the blind cat do all the work." Jaypaw grumbled, leaving camp.
...
Back downstairs...
...
"They're so mean to the blind cat." Jaypaw hissed. "Can you deal me in?"
"Sure thing." Lionpaw began handing out cards. "So am I missing out on anything upstairs, or am I good?"
Jaypaw thought for a second. "Nah. You're good."
Okay, so maybe this chapter wasn't that Halloweenyish. But I still thought it was pretty good. If you have any complaints I'll consider doing a Halloween bonus chapter.
Please review.
