How To Get A Cookie, By Cloudtail [Grandmas]

How to Deal with Hunger (blah blah cookies)

Cloudtail is sitting in a lonesome corner of camp, his eyes half-closed and tail swishing back and forth with contentedness. A loud rumbling sound echos from beneath him...

Cloudtail: *leaps to his paws* What was that?

From a few pawsteps away, Brightheart gives him an unconcerned glance. The sound echos again, and Cloudtail feels the pull of hunger trembling in his belly.

Brightheart: You alright there? o.0 

Cloudtail: Yes... I think I'm just hungry. *glances downward at the ground*

Brightheart: k then. 

Cloudtail: *starts walking toward the prey pile whilst muttering to himself* I wonder if Brackenfur caught any Oreos today... even pumpkin spice would do.

Brightheart: There's no cookies in the freshkill pile, you dingleberry.

Cloudtail: *collapses to the ground* This... this world is so cruel. *starts sobbing*

Brackenfur: *pads into the camp with a bag of Chips Ahoy* Why is Cloudtail lying on the ground in a fetal position and crying? *speaks slowly and catiously*

Brightheart: *nonchalantly* He wants cookies. Don't show him y—

Cloudtail: *head pokes up* Is that the smell of plastic wrapper... and stale cookies? *starts glancing around the clearing, driven by a feral excitement*

Brightheart: Uh, no!

Brackenfur: *quickly tosses the cookies into the nursery. loud animal-like noises are audible* Not anymore!

Cloudtail: *races toward the nursery, screaming loudly* THESE ARE MINE! *dives into the pile of kits*

Brackenfur: *turns to Brightheart* You really need to get rid of him...

Brightheart: *nods in agreement* Yeah, even ShadowClan is getting tired of his pranks... I'm trying to figure out somewhere that I can send him to get rid of him for a while. Just so we can some sense of peace.

Brackenfur: *to himself* If he leaves, I can take his place.

Interrupting this exchange is Cloudtail, who sheepishly pads out from the nursery. His fur is covered in scraps of moss.

Brackenfur: *flatly* How many kits did you kill?

Cloudtail: Only one this time! I promise

Ferncloud: *from the nursery* You mean two...

Brackenfur: *sighs* Well, I'll go get Firestar.
